MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
Brief Chronicle Of the Important Happenings
Brood Mares.

The Prison Board of Control will
make another departure, which, it is
believed, will prove profitable. Some
sixty or seventy brood mares are to
be purchased and placed on the two
places, along with a number Of
jacks, and the State will go exclusive
ly into the mule-raising business.
The mule bill Of the State each year
is quite an item, and the members
Of the Board believe that they can
raise all the mules needed by the
State to replenish their stock. This
will be quite a saving to the State,
as some forty or fifty mules year
are purchased to replenish those which
are worn out and unfit for work.
Mules can be raised in this State
which are just as good as those raised
in Missouri. The two places selected
for this experiment are ideal. There
is plenty of range for the stock and
fine water all over the places. 1t is
estimated that mule can be raised
in this State for very little money,
and when grown viii represent very
near all profit.

Cashier Skips.

J. II. Mckay, cashier at the Ala
bama e. Vicksburg railway freight
Office in Jackson is apparently a de-
faulter in the sum Of three or four
hundred dollars. There is cOnsidera-
BILE mystery about the affair. The
officials of the road say they cannot
understand what impelled the young
man to become a defaulter. As far
as they know he had no extravagant
habits. He was not a society or
club man, but lived quietly and un-
obtrusively and apparently he was
we'll within his income. When he
failed to show up for work the other
lay it was thought that he was sick,
and not much attention was paid to
the matter; but the next day when
he did not show up an investigation
was made and it was found that he
was not inrthe city. His books were
then examined and the shortage dis
covered. The railroad will lose moth

The Governor has approved a char

White.Lumb Company, domiciIed at
McComb City, Pike county, with a
capital stock of $1,O00,00O. This is
the first million dollar corporation

Cotton Held at Jackson.

It was stated in these dispatches
some days ago, on authority Of one Of
the warehousemen at Jackson, that
there were 10000 bales Of cotton be-
ing held in this city. It is stated now
that there is but half this amount be-
ing held. The manager Of the com
press says that ten thousand bales will
cover all the cotton that is being held
in Jackson at present awaiting better
prices, but each day sees some addi-
ton made to the number of bales
which are being held.

An effort will be made by the W.
d. Holder chapter, United Daughters
Of the Confederaey to raise funds to
be used in placing an enclosure around
the Confederate monument in the old
state house yard. Hon. II. Clay Shar-
key has generously offered to start off
the fund with a donation Of $50.
Owing to the fact that the old state
house grounds are not in charge Of
a custodian, it is feared that the mon
ument might be defaced and other
wise injured unless properly enclosed.

Your own Business.

Did I. ever occur TO you that house
keeping Is a business, and hOme-mals-
Ing more than a business? Yet bow
few women fit themselves for this most
important work that a woman can take
upl Afy one can keep house, proyid-
ed they learn how: but not every one
can De real homemaker. How
quickly one can tell the difference on
entering a house!
Recall some homes you know Of. The
house maybe is large one, and is in
as good order as faithful servants can
make it; but tie real spirit of home,
that intangible essence that radiates
from some women. is not there. In
spite Of elegant furniture and spacious
r00ms the house seems barren and cold.
Would you not rather be a woman
whose soul is so sweet and fragrant
that it shines all through your house,
making Is a veritable haven OF rest for
those who claim II as theirs, than to
be the brainiest and most noted Of out
side women?
Not that some Of the prominent woIn-
en- do not have that quality; they do!
Some Of the most delightful homes are
presided over by noted and prominent
women. These homes have mistresses
who were brought up in good old-fash-
ioIed homes, where they were taught
all the good old-time housekeeping
ways. and above all to preserve their
wOmanly virtues and sweetness.-New

WHEN PAPER IS EXHAUSTED
VIII the Big Sunday Newspaper and the
One-Cent Daily Disappeare

One-Cent Daily Olshppears
At the rate at which forests have
disappeared and are disappearing be-
fore the advance of The electric tree.
telling machine and the pulp mills. il
is only a question of years when the
supply will be exhausted and either
other fibres must be used or the prices
of paper return to somewhere near
those of forty years ago.
The straw of all the cereals, includ-
ing rice. are used for paper making tO
a considerable extent. but for the white
blanket with which the newspapers
cover the earth morning and evening
wood pulp alone is used.
When we think Of this it is very in
teresting to speculate as to the effect Of
a failure OF this supply and a rise in
the cost of paper upon civilization.
The first result would be the disap-
pearance Of the blanket sheets and the
abolition of big head lines. Our news
papers would become compact pubii-
cations. of the pattern OF the Outlook,
Independent and smaller magazines.
The penny paper and probably the
two cent paper would disappear. Copy
would be ruthlessly condensed because
OF the limits Of space for a three. or
even a Eve cent paper would be small.
Advertising space would be reduced
and the prices for it raised.
The effect of such a change upon
the habits of thought Of nation
would be hardly less radical than the
changes Of climate from the deforest-
ing of our mountains which has long
seemed probable.
The destruction of the forests would
certainly bring about the small and
high priced newspaper. We may be
saved from both. however, If the own
ers of the vast tracts into which for
est lands are now being consolidated
by the great paper making companies
will follow a judicious. business-like
course in their operations.
This is not to strip the land Of its
trees with no regard for the future, as
mere temporary affair; but to make
the ownership of forests and the man.

Good Roads Delegates.

Gov. Vardaman has appointed the
five members of the seventy-five
Boards Of Supervisors in the State as
delegates to the. National Good Roads
Association at Jacksonville, Fla, Jan
nary 10Th. A few years ago Missis-
,ippi took a great deal Of interest In
The Good Roads movement, and had a
convention Of her own at Jackson.
The effect of that meeting is still felt
and in several counties is seen in the
oetterment Of the roads and the sys-
.em Of working them. Monroe eoun-
" has Just let contracts for working
about six hundred miles Of roads, and
1t prices that are eye-openers to
some Of the taxpayers. 1t Is hardly
probable, however, that many Mis-
;issippians will attend the Jackson
Tille. Fla, Convention, as it is too far
away.

The Panama Canal and Health.
There is a widespread belief that the
climate OF Panama is SO fatal that the
construction Of the canal can only be
accomplished at an enormous sacrifice
of human life. Both malaria and vel.
low fever may be said 10 be to-day
practically under control, and these are
the two diseases which are most to be
dreaded when the great construction
camps are assembled and work is in
full swing throughout the length of the
canal. According to General Abbott,
the records OF the hospital Of the old
Panama Canal Company shows that
the total death rate among the laborers
was far less than is commonly sup
posed, being in fact from forU-fOur
to sixiy-seven per 1000.
Ii seems, moreover, that the rsinfall
has been the subject of as gross eXas-
geration as the diseases. 1t varies
from about $50 inches on the At!andc
TO sixty-five inches on the Pacific. a
record that can be duplicated in the
United States. where the average rain
fall on the Atlantic coast is about fifty
inches and the fail on portions of the
Pacific coast compares in total precipi-
tation with that of the Atlantic ter
minus Of the canal. Furthermore, il
will bS news to many residents OF our
northe>ly latitude to learn that the
temperature ranges at Panama from
seventy degrees to eighty-fivc degrees
Fahrenheit. and that it is very rarely
that tie thermometer reaches the high
temperature which is experienced
when hot wave passes over the
Unitee States.-Scientifi Amer:cRIL

The negro said he had made his peace
with God and was reconciled to his
Fate. /.
The murder of Fogarty created
much excitment and mob formed

New Method Adopted.

The Prison Board Of Control has
decided to try intensified farming on
the Rankin and Oakley Farms. The
members Of the Board and the Gov
ernor have been looking over the Oak
ley place, and it has been determined
that no more land on this place is to
rented. Hereafter the State will
work it with an idea of getting more
out Of it than has been secured by
leasing. It is believed that enough
hay can be grown on this place to
supply the Penitentiary with al
most all it needs.
