going out by Strong Hope, Venus,

Gov. Vardaman Negotiating For a
Quarantine Loan.

Governor Vardaman has ad-
dressed circular letter to mem
bers of the legislature making
inquiry if they will be willing to
vote a $4,000 appropriation or as
much as may be necessary, at the
next session to defray the ex-
penses of maintaining the quaran-
tine against Louisiana, the sum
in the meantime to be borrowed
from some banking institution at
a reasonable rate of interest.
The governor regards it as alb
soIutely necessary to have add
tional funds in order that the
quarantine may be properly en-
forced, as the State Beard Of
Health appropriation is only
So, 900 per annum, and nearly all
of this has been consumed by the
work thus far performed.
Under a law passed at the last
session of the legislature the gov
ernor is authorized to borrow
$780, 600 TO defray the current ex-
penses of State government, and
100000 of this sum has been
borrowed, but the remainder could
not be used for quarantine pur-
pose.
1t is not thought likely that
$50, 900, or even half of that sum,
will be necessary to maintain the
quarantine, but in order to be on
the safe side this amount should
be pledged, and used at the dis
erection of the governor. The lat
ter declares that he will use the
funds as economically as possible.
The replies so far received show
an overwhelming majority Of the
Legislature will vote for the loan.

FIXED PRICES.

The day laboTer has his scale Of
hours and wages. The locomo-
tive engineers have their price.
The miner has his hour limit day,
and price per ton for his labors.
The barber works from 7 d. ID. to
Is D. m. and has his say as to his
hire. The whisky men bond their
products and borrow on d mini
mum value. The wheat men have
placed a minimum value on their
product. The doctor gets a stip-
ulated fee fol visit. The lawyer
charges so much per cent. for set
tling an estate, or che law fixes
bis price for writing authorize
tions, deeds, ETC., if he be a nota-
ry.
And what does the farmer do?
Why he does nothing but allows
every trade, profession and any
old thing do him all the time, and
all because there is no harmony or
concert of action among the cotton
growers.
To cater to this very need is
the purpose of the Southern Cot
ton Association.
If all these people and their in
terests can fix a price upon their
labors and products, the cotton
planter can do likewise; and the
day is not far distant when the
gambler and speculator will be
dead ones in the cotton market
represented by the producer, the
only true bull.

COTTON GINNERy REPORTS.

The owners of cotton gins in
Mississippi are now receiving
their instructions from the gov
ernment census bureau relative to
the compilation of crop statistics,
commencing during the first week
in September. As announced
from Washington a day or SO
since, the ginners are expected to
make reports twice each month
instead Of monthly, as heretofore,
and only six days will be consum-
ed by the department in compil-
ing the figures.
Although a large number of
ginners in Mississippi fatty re-
fused to furnish the government
with figures during the latter part
of the last cotton season, it is not
believed that this feeling Of hos
tility will be maintained during
the coming season. The new
method of collecting statistics has
inspired confidence among the
ginners, and they are being adyis-
ed by the prominent cotton fac
tors and merchants in each county
to make full reports to the census
agents semi-monthly.
In instances where ginners re-
fuse to give statistics it is the du-
ty of the census agent to make
the best possible estimate of cot
ton turned out at that particular
gin, and the figures of the govern
ment will therefore not be incom-
plete in any instance. 1t is there
fore generally regarded as fa1
better for the. ginhers to make
complete reports than to allow
agents to indulge in guesses con
cerning the amount of cotton
handled.

Franklin White Cappers Adopt a New
Tact

A petition was put in circula-
tion here Monday, presumably by
the Farmers Leaguers, asking
the people who were not members
of that organization to sign the
petition asking Judge Niles to
dismiss the indictments against all
who were indicted at the last term
of the Federal Court for white
Gaping.
The petition recites that a num-
ber of the witnesses for the State
are discreditable men and are not
to be believed on oath. Now,
while it may be true some of the
witnesses are not of the best type
of men, still it cannot be said that
all of them ara deliberate liars,
and while we would be glad to see
the matter amiciably adjusted, it
is our candid opinion, that as it
has gone this far that it would be
better to let the courts settle it,
and think that all good citizens
should weigh the matter well In
their minds before signing such a
petition. Franklin County Advo-
cate.
1t is an off time sure enough
when the leaders Of the Franklin
white cappers can't invent some
new expedient to avoid being call
ed to account for their lawless
acts. First they disbanded in a
horn. Then they bluffed and ma
nipuIated the Franklin courts so
none Of the elect could be indicted.
Next meeting was held, the stat
ute of limitation invoked, and the
Governor notified that he should
call Hoyt off and stop the investi-
cation into the record of the clan
and its members. Now it seems
some sort of a hood wink is to be
attempted on Judge Niles.
Will it work? Not likely. Ger
tainly not as to all of the Franklin
white cappers.
By the way, since an issue on
the credibiIity Of the States wit
nesses has been raised, it would
be pertinent for some one to rise
and explain why a white capper
who took that death-penalty, con
spiracy oath against the State and
the United States and has kept it
and stuck to his Iawless organiza-
tion ever since, is more entitled
to belief in court of justice
where members of the organiza-
tion are on trial, than the witness
who never took such an oath, or,
if he did, has repudiated it, con-
fessed his mistake, reafirmed his
allegiance to his country's laws
and is giving his influence to have
them respected, in the face of Sc
cret threats and attempted perse-
cution?
Judge Niles and District Attor-
ney Lee will be very apt to ask
some troublesome questions like
this.

An Official Opinion About School Books.

Assistant Attorney General
Flowers last week gave out an
opinion in response to numerous
inquiries concerning the rights of
high schools in the matter Of US
ing textbooks. In many cases
throughout the State the school
patrons have incorporated high
schools, and in these high schools
the regular free school term is
sometimes merged. At the end
of the free school term, which is
five and six months in some cases.
the high school continues on a pay
basis and all patrons who desire
to do so may continue to send
their children to the school on
payment of so much per capita.
The question of obeying the text
book law in these schools has been
raised in several instances, and
the opinion of Attorney General
Flowers is that the books used in
the high schools mentioned in
section 4036 of the Code as
amended by chapter liz of the
laws of 1900 may be selected by
the school authorities in their own
way. The State has not under
taken. he says, to say what
branches shall be taught in such
schools, nor how books shall be
selected. But If any such school
has been established as free
school Of the county, then, as far
as it is a free school, it must use
the books adopted for the State
public schools.
