The pigmies at present in England
are giants compared with some Of
the tribes Of natives who inhabit the
wild, desolate and almost unknown
Pamir plateau to the northwest of the
Hindoo Koosh range of mountains in
Central Asia. The full-grown men and
women are rarely a yard high. Their
donkeys and horses in appearance re-
sembse our smallest ponies. The bulls
and cows-fierce little creatures-are
no larger than a newborn European
calf, and the sheep are about the size
OF small poodIes. Tigers no large
than kittens are said to infest the,hill.

RUSsIA'S FINAL WORD.
Said to Convey "A Sincere Desire For
a satisfactory Settlement.

Said to COnyey "A Sincere Desire For
a satisfactory Settlement.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 22.-The Rus
tons to M. White, outlining the course
that he shall pursue at the reopening
of the peace conference at Portsmouth,
are still in process of being put into
America. With the receipt of St. Pc
tersburg's last message, the brief
breathing spell will have ended. St.
Petersburg leaves a final word with
her representatives at Portsmouth.
Sincere Desire for Settlement.
When the nature of these communi-
cations become generally known, it will
be seen that in a sincere desire to eff
feet a satisfactory settlement, the gov
eminent has gone as far as its extreme
ly vital state interests will permit. 1t
can further be said that for this aso
the government is firmly con need
that in case of failure of the mes otia-
tons. the responsibility will not rest
with Russia, which has conceded much
already.
Nothing Actually Known.
While it is impossible to learn the
actual contents Of the governments
communication to M. White, it can be
declared that the requirements of the
state make concessions on the questions
of indemnity and Sakhalin, as these
questions were originally presented by
the Japanese, impossible.
1t is certain that in the matter of
concession, the four points now in dis
pute have been considered and studied
here in the light Of concessions, Russia
already has granted on the other eight
articles.
Gratitude to President.
The foregoing is a brief but accurate
outline of the platform upon which M.
White will meet the Japanese plenipo-
~tentiaries.
Baron de Rosen's reports regarding
his interview with President Roosevelt
have been received here, and their
perusal by the government has only in
creased the feelings of gratitude and
appreciation for President Roosevelt's
continued efforts. Baron de Rosen's
communications to the emperor are
such Is do not require a special an
swer.
A Hopeful Feeling.
A hopeful feeling Is noticeable here
that peace Is still possible, and it is
believed by some that Russia's answer
will give material evidence of such a
sincere desire to reach a settlement
that Japan will practically be forced
TO accept it or appear before the world
SO utterly unreasonable and Unsuitable.

The County Paper.

Hearts Chicago A merican
hands this editorial bouquet to
the county press: 1T would be a
misfortune to the country if the
few big papers in the big cities
should interfere seriously with
the publication of the valuable
and intelligent local newspapers
for upon these local newspapers
the welfare of the country very
largely depends. The metropoli-
tan daily cannot possibly know
the needs of the various localities
and small cities. Only the local
newspapers can protect local
needs and influence local opinion.
Of course WE are very glad to
have as many people as possible
to read the Chicago American, in
the big cities and in the little
cities. But we hope that in every
small town and every village there
will be enough intelligence and
public spirit on the part of the
local inhabitants to support ear
nestly and enthusiastically the
local newspaper, giving encour-
aging appreciation and good liv-
ing to the editor, who alone can
represent and defend justice and
public spirit among his neighbors.
The man is unfortunate who cam
not afford to take two newspapers
at to-day's prices. The man who
can afford only one newspaper,
in our opinion should display his
public spirit and his sense OF
duty to his locality by taking the
local newspaper.

Lower Freight Ra'es.

It is now believed that the re-
suit Of the work Of the railroad
commission at its last meeting
will be the putting in by the
Southern & Mobile roads Of a
fiat rate of 81 cents per hundred
on grain from Greenville to all
points in what is known as the
Aberdeen group. The introduce
ton Of a resolution by Mr.. J. G..
Kincannon, commissioner from
the northern district, was for
the purpose. of giving this end
of the state the same advantages
in the way Of low rates on grain
that is enjoyed by Meridian,
jackson and other points in Cen
trail and South Mississippi. The
rate was put into the above men,
toned points after a fight by the
roads against the order which re-
suited in the commission winning
out in the Supreme court. AS
the same conditions prevail and
the principle involved is identical
there can be no sound reason adj
vanced against the adoption Of
the rates. The peculiar location
Of Mississippi places the people
of the state at serious disadvan-
tage in the matter of freight
rates and it is clearly the duty of
the commission to see that the
state gets a fair and equitable
rate. Tupelo, Corinth, Aberdeen
and West Point are as near the
Mississippi river as Meridian and
if the latter city gets her freight
reduced on account Of her loca-
ton with respect to the Mississip-
pi, river certainly the points above
mentioned should be acceeded
like privileges and rates. We
feel sure that the roads will put
the rates in recognizing the just
ness of the resolution now pend
ing before the commission.

A little boy was attacked by a
vicious COW on the streets Of
Corinth last week and severely
injured. The Corinthian uses
the incident to show that there
should be a law against cows
running at large in town. We
agree with our contemporary.
The man who will let his family
drink such milk as the town COW
gives that grazes on sidewalk
grass and drinks anything in the
way Of water she can get from
the sewers and other filthy places
should be dealt with just the same
as the grocery who is caught
selling adulterated food. A pure
food law might reach the town
grazed COW ownerif there is no
other remedy. The COW will
bring more sickness into family
than any other agency unless
she is properly looked after and
cared for. Corinth is the only
town in North Mississippi that
we can recall that still tolerates
the COW nuisance.
