Dixie BUILT AGES SINCE.
Remninr Of nm Earth work Evidently
Constructed In PrchistOric Times.

Constructed Ia Prehistoric Times.
The Western States and Territories
contain many evidences that this con.
tinent was once pcoplcd by u race
well advanced In the arts of clvillza-
ton. \ wonder of apparently pre-
historic origin has been discovered re-
Gently by n surveyor In Northern Ida.
ho. 1t Is the well.prescrved remains
of n dixie. ana lies along the east side
of swamp known rs HoodOo Lake,
KOOtenai County. I'm country thlckly
covered with timber and underbrush.
The dixie Is 5000 feet In length, Is
built carefully of rock and covered
with earth. In dimensions 1t Is four
feet In height and three feet wide on
top. The dixie is broken in two or
three places for rod or two, and ut
one point apparently 1t has been cut in
recent years. There are also evidences
that parts of the dixie have been bro
ken and swept away by floods In times
long past. Trees over 100 years old
growing on tie crest of the dixie also
attest in some degree to It's antiquity.
The surveyor, William Ashley. was
ut first inclined to the belief that it
was an old moraln of the glacial Pc
riod, such rs are frequently encoun-
tered in the Northwest. Upon close in
vestigation, however, he was convinced
that it was the work of man owing
to the singular regularity of its form
and the materials which compose 1t.
The earth's surface must have under
gone some great changes since the
construction of this dixie, for the pres
cnt geological formation of the locality
renders 1t useless either for reclama-
ton purposes or to keep back the wa
ter 1t could not have been the work
Of Indians. Ats origin is suggestive Of
vast eXpanses of time ana recalls the
work of the ancient mound builders.

duced in the lower house. He pro.
poses to enlarge the board of trustees
from five to seven members, provides
that five of the number shall be ap.
pointed by the governor, one by the
city Of Vicksburg, and one by the
county Of Warren, and that the gov
ern0r shall be eX-ofiicio chairman of

The trustees shall choose a surgeon

The minority report denounced. In
unmeasured terms these f%raternities
as an outrage on deeency, a slarins
evil, expensive and ruinous to the stu.
dent body, promoting clalnishaess
and causing social ostracism, causing
students to neglect their studies. and
leading them to indulge in midnight
revels and Bacchanalian ~debaucheries

members being expelled by the faculty

COMMENT AND CRITICISM.


Many Of the appropriation bills now
pending in the legislature are in jeop-
ardy by the reason Of the existing
doubt as 10 whether a bond issue will
be authorized. A large number OF
members are very reluctant Oh voting
for appropriation bills while a short
age is confronting the treasury, and II
Is rot yet known whether the house
committee on ways and means will
report ia favor OF an issue Of bonds
Of from $500.OO0 10 $1,000, 900. the is
sue to be made by the governor in
case he should fad Il necessary to do
So. II this feeling OF uncertainty con,
t!H4gs much longer IL Is almost certain
that many OF the appropriation bills,
especially for State schools and col.
lesa2 VIII be cut down.
The senate finance committee has
already adopted g policy Of Fetrench.
m"ut, the first notable example being
the ulGayorab!e report made ON the
bill ayprOpfiattng 500, 900 to erect
monuments 90 the Mississippi troops
who participated Ia the Siege Of Vicks-
burg There WIS no opposition what
ever to the sentiments Of this meas.
ure. but a majority Of the members
fee. that the State could not afford to
make the expenditure al the present
tine.

The Foster resolution introduced In
the lower house directing the attor.
n~ey.general 10 institute proceedings to
set aside the merger or consolidation
OF the Southern Railway and the Mo
bile 4 Ohio, and which was referred
to the committee on corporations, is
creating much lively comment among
the members of the legislature.
During the early part of the session
q bill was introduced to validate this
merger, but 1t has been lost sight of,
and the Foster resolution nj in
the form of a sharp rejoinder declar.
ing this merger to be violatiye Of the
constitutional provision against the
consolidation of parallel and compel.
ing lines Of railway.
II will be remembered that when
this merger was accomplished about
two years ago there was much talk Of
legal proceedings against 1t. The mat.
ter was carefully considered by Attor.
ney-Genefal MeClurg, and several on.
f~erences with the attorneys Of the two
corporations We're held, the result Of
which was the ding of a domestic
charter by both roads In this state
which were approved by the governor
and assurances given that no proceed.
ings would be instituted against the
| merger.

A large delegation of citizens of
L~umberton, headed by H. A. Champ
and A. s. Hinton, well known lumber
manufacturers; Prof. s. A. Steel, pres.
dent Of the Lumberton Industrial
School, and the Hon. P. e. Williams,
a prominent real estate agent, are at
tie capital for the purpose of Undue.
ing the Legislature to reconsider the
I'LL creating the e county of Lamar
from the lower half Cf Marion county,
\ hich has passed both houses.
The purpose Of securing a ~recOnsid.
'ration Of the measure is to get an
amendment attached thereto. and a
very novel situation Is presented.
lhmberton is located In Pearl River
county, just adjoining the line of the
lew county Of Lamar, and Is one of
the most iourishing towns in that rap
idly growing section Of the State. The
dividing line Of the two counties Is
the thirty-frst parallel of latitude ana
4 portion of the suburban districts of
Lumberton are Immediately adjacent
to the county line. Those districts are
Inhabited chiefly by negroes, and the
Lumberton delegation states that if
the present county formation is al
lowed to stand it win be very difficult
to enforce the law, as the gamblers,
thieves. and other law yiolators can
step oyer into the new county and
eyade arrest They ask that the coun.
ty line be dropped a distance of one
section width, or n mile, below the
thirty.tirst parallel of latitude, so as
to put the entire town Of Lumberton
in Lamar county.
Another argument advanced In IA
yor of the amendment to the bill Is
mat it will enable Lumberton to ere.
ate a separate school district and thus
give the children of the town better
schools and longer terms.
The matter is Icing energetically
urged, and will probably be brought
up In II Of the houses Of the legisla.
lure before the end of the week. The
bill creating the new county of Lamar
originated in the lower house.

The negroes in the vicinity Of
Aberdeen believe that they
have struck a bonanza on account
of the establishment of the pearl
button factory at that place. The
factory will make buttons from mus
sci shells, and one old negress, with
the help of her son, gathered 1000
pounds of mussel shells in a day
and sold them to the factory, %realiz-
ing the magnificent sum of $3.50
therefor. While cleaning the shells
she found pearls on the inside,
which were sold for $15, thus max
ing a total of $3.50 for the days
work.

The annual meeting of the board
Of directors Of the Mississippi Or

was found to be in an excellent con-
ditlon financially and otherwise.
There are now 108 orphans who are
being cared for. Others are apply
ing for admission, but there is no
room for them. In accordance with
the authority conferred by the two
Mississippi conferences, the board
took steps toward the enlargement

Railroad Men Cited,

At a meeting Of the railroad COM
mission a resolution was adopted
citing Superintendent Gilleas Of the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley and Mr..
Ritch Of the Southern railroad to
appear before the commission on
March I and show cause why they
should not build a switch at Webb
station, in Tallahatchie county, CON
Meeting these two railroads.
A resolution was also introduced
citing Superintendent Ford Of the
Alabama Il Vicksburg road to ap-
pear March I and show cause why
a new depot should not be built at
Brandon.

Penitentiary Has No Cash.

FSi'eOiitialJ FIaS NO SdSHs
The Mississippi penitentiary il
dead broke.
Owing to the fact that the legis.
lature has not yet passed the pend.
ing appropriation bill, the prison of
hcials find themselves without any
cash to carry on the usual routine
work. The warden's expense account
has been depleted, the contingent
fund is exhausted, and even the tray-
cling sergeant finds himself without
the cash wherewith to carry prison.
ers from the various county jails
to the convict farms. As a result
many prisoners who have recently
been given sentences are, in the
county jails awaiting transportation,
and thus delaying the commence
ment of their sentences.
The secretary of the board states
that he is without funds with which
to give the discharged convicts $40
each next month, and about $500
will he required for this purpose,
as the number discharged will be un-
usually large. A short time ago the
board Of control borrowed $500 from
one Of the Jackson banks and this
has been expended to defray the or
binary running expenses.
1t is expected, however, that the
Legislature will have the usual appro-
priation of 100000 per year avail
able for the penitentiary before the
end of the month.
