lsH MANUFACTURING CO., Mobile


1t is stated that several Of the larg-
est cotton seed oil mills in the State
viii be forced to shut down within
the next ten days, their supply of
seed being exhausted, and there being
no prospect of getting more before an
other cotton crop is made. The chances
are that the great majority of the
mills of the State will stop grinding
before the first of February, which is
two months earlier than ordinarily.
The season has been a very satisfac-
tory one in every respect, except as
to its longevity, though high prices
have been paid for the raw material
from the very first. The seed has in
all respects been first class, and the
product has been. fine grade Of oil,
cake and meal. Prices of the output of
the mills were not satisfactory at the
beginning of the season last fall, but
recent advances have evened things up
so that the mill men are very well sat-
is6ed with the business done.

REPUBLICANS
OF MISSISSIPPI
MEET AND FIX TIME FOR STATE
CONVENTION.
MARCH %, IS SELECTED
And Jackson as the Place. .-Resolu-
tions Adopted Indorsing Roosevelt
oil Mills to Shut Down for Sea-
son-Interesting Suit.

The Republican State Executive COM
mittee met at Jackson for the purpose
OF fixing the time and place for hold
ing the State Convention, which will
send delegates to the Chicago Con-
vention in June. March % was Sc
lected as the time for holding the Con-
vention, and Jackson as the place.
A resolution was adopted stating that:
Whereas the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt, both as to national
and international affairs, has been en-
inently successful and satisfactory
it was resolved, "That it is the sense
of the Republicans of Mississippi that
continuance of his administration
is essential to the welfare and prosper
ity of the country, and this Commit
tee cordially declares for him as his
own successor and points with pride
to his conduct of public affairs, to the
splendid personnel of his appointees
and to his able, honest, progressive,
courageous non-seetional administra-
ton; and that in so doing it but antic-
ipates the action of the republican
state convention, which meets March,
%, 1904, to select delegates to the
national republican convention that
assemblies in Chicago on June %, 1904,
which, in turn, we are confident, will
register the will of the rank and file Of
this illustrious American, pure, patri-
otic and dauntless soldier. Resolved
further, that the speedy construction
Of the Panama canal is necessary to
the continued prosperity of the ma
tion, and especially to that of the Gulf
States, and it is our deliberate con-
struction of the same, under whatever
guise, are consciously, or unconscious
ly, enemies to the best interests of the
United States. -
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1904-01-08

The principle thus enunciated by
Secretary Cass was sound then and it
is sound now. The United States has
taken the position that no other Gov
ernmentis to build the canal. In 1889,
when France proposed to come to the
aid of the French Panama Company
by guaranteeing their bonds, the
Senate of the United States in execu-
tive session, with only some three
votes dissenting, passed a resolution
es follows:
That the Government of the
United States will look with
serious concern and disapproval
upon any connection of any Euro
rean government with the 18TH
mus of Darien or across Central
America, and must regard any
such connection or control as in
furious to the just rights and in
terests of the United States and
as menace to their welfare
1t was explicitly provided that the
United States should control, police,
and protect the canal which was to be
built, keeping it open for the vessels
sf all natieRs on equal terms. The

May Visit Australia.

Lcndon.-It is likely that Joseph
Chamberlain will pay visit to Aus
tralia. A few days ago it was announc-
ed that it was his intention to leave
England in the middle of February
for much needed holiday. Later the
Federal ministry, in behalf Of the
Australian commonwealth, cabled
Mr.. Chamberlain an official invitation
to visit Australia in connection with
his preferential tariff campaign. It
is not known yet whether he will ac-
cept the invitation, but it is believed
that he likely will.

A Fruitless Search.

J. M. Huskey of Meridian has re-
turned from Mobile, where he had
been in search Of Ethel Rovelle, the
missing heiress Of an $S,000,0OO es-
tate, having learned nothing Of her
whereabouts, although all of the Lees
he could discover in Mobile were
questioned. Another one of the many
clews that may lead to the discovery
Of Miss Rovelle is that she was seen
in Meridian as late as Thursday even
ing by city detective, although at
the time he was not aware of the fact
that she was missed by her relatives.
Mr.. Huskey has received an anony-
nous letter from Birmingham In re-
gard to the missing woman, but he re-
fused to make public its contents. spe-
ciaI detectives, he states, have been
placed on the case, and in all proba-
bility a reward would be offered In a
few days if she is not found.
