THE DEER HUNTERS

Here are some of the items we have
gathered about the success Of the
various deer hunters of this city.
The hunting party composed of Joe
Rick, F. Neuman, w. Lessig. j. Stub
lacke, and F. Lessig returned from the
north this week, and with them
brought their full quota of deer. ten
in all. There were eight of them
bucks, and at least two of them were
fine ones. One of them, the largest
buck, has a set of the most peculiar
horns we have ever seen. 1t is freak
plainly enough, and is the property of
+. Neuman, who will have them
mounted. A prong came down on
each side of the deer's head from the
other part of the horn.
George n. Wood, while in camp
with the well known hunters and
trappers Bradley Ellis and son Lorraine,
formerly of Plainfeld, secured fine
doe at New Dam on the east fork of
Black RIVER this week George says
the experience in camp was one o. the
best he can remember of ever having,
the only trouble being that it was too
short.
The Nash hunting party, who are
at Rice Lake. are evidently having
some good luck, On the few first
days they were out they bagged eight
fine deer, two of which weighed in the
neighborhood of 200 pounds. No
word has come since the letter an
nouncing this good fortune, but with
a crew of as sturdy hunters as are
included in the roll in this camp.
more deer will undoubtedly be Sc
cured.
James Nash brought two fine deer
into the city on the second day Of the
season. Both had been shot the after
noon before, within an hour of each
other. These are the only parties
that have returned so far as we have
been able to learn.

ACTION AGAIN POSTPONED.

4
A few weeks ago when it was
announced that the Railroad
Com mission had not acted on the
order giving to the cities of this
section the same rate on grain
and grain products on the South
ern from Greenville which the
! people of Meridian now enjoy on
the road from Vicksburg with
the idea that the Sou thern, after
considering the matter. would
order in the rate without con
testing it, THE DISPATCH ven-
tured the prediction that the
roads would utilize the time not
in considering the acceptance of
the proposition but in devising a
plan by which it could be defeat
ed. Our prediction has come
true sooner than we anticipated.
The Vicksburg and Meridian
road at the last meeting of the
conn mission announced that they
had appealed from the decision
of the Supreme Court of Missis-
sippi, which affirmed the justice
of the cheap grain rate to Meri-
dian via way of Vicksburg, to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. This, of course, will in
effect not only stay action in the
Colum bus case but will serve to
postpone the establishm ent of
the rate at Meridian. An appeal
to the Supreme Court of the
United States. if the case is an
appealable one, means that the
securement of the rate is indefn-
iteIy postponed and it may be
years before the issue is decided.
From the persistence with
which the roads have fought Co.

BANkHEAD AND HOsSUN.

BANkHEAD AND HUbSUh.
Hobson has signalized his en-
trance into the Congressional
race across the way in Alabama
with vigorous attack upon his
opponent, Congressman Bank
head, in which he charges that
he is in league with the railroads
and is serving them rather than
the people. The anti railroad
fight in Alabama a few years ago
carried number Of politicians
into office and it is not surprising
that Hobson should have seized
upon it as one of the planks Of his
platform and charged the oppo-
sition with beings the railroad
candidate. The corporations are
a power in any land and for any
man to be credited with being
their candidate is enough to array
a large number of we'll meaning
people against him.
But fortunately for Bankhead
there is one feature Of his political
life which repudiates any such
charge. 1t is his river record.
River navigation is the natural
enemy of the railroad. Navigable
rivers have solved the fight for
cheap rates wherever the rivers
flow and Bankhead's record in
making navigable the Alabama
streams would seem to indicate
that he his not such a railroad
man after ALL He has secured
appropriation after appropriation
for the rivers and as a result his
whole district has been benefited.
The Warrior improvement project
will ultimately give Birmingham
an outlet to the sea for all of her
immense output which is as great
as, perhaps, all the rest of the
tonnage of Alabama combined. |
Bankhead has worked steadily |
and faithfully for this project and |
to his efforts are due the i'm
provements already made. If his
sympathies for the railroad were
so pronounced it seems that he
would have treated this project
with Indifference, if not open
hostility.
While it is none of our fight all
this section and the entire Bigbee
Bigbee Valley country must feel
an interest in its outcome for the
Improvement of the Bigbee is a
project which Bankhead is com
to and which if he is re-
tanned in Congress will ultimate
ly come. For his districtto change
representatives now would retard
this project many, many years,
If it did not defeat it entirely.
While Hobson is an attractive,
fellow, with youth and
which he brings into
any cause, it is doubtful if the
people east of US will turn down
an o d and faithful servant just
when he is approaching the zen
tn of his usefulness and when
MS continuance in Congress
means so much for them. They
viii not be swayed from doing
what is best for their interests by
such outbursts as are credited to
he sinker of the Merrimac. Hob
ION is young man, welded to an
dea, not such an attractive one
rs that, and his future is abun. c
liant with promise, but his cleo {
ion to Congress in Bankhead's
place just now would not only be
} political misfortune but it
would approach calamity to the e
,ntire South. tc

CONCERNING RARE WOODS
What Ones Are Especially Good in
Cabinet Work and the 1mpor-
lance of Proper Seasoning.

Old and well-seasoned oak is hard to
get and harder to work.
There is no great quantity of old oak
furniture in the market, and old pieces
that would supply large enough lum-
Der for important work are seldom
found. New kiln dried oak is uncer-
tain, being liable to warp and crack.
Paneled articles can be made of such
material with some safety, but large
solid articles are likely to give a bal
account of themselves at the end of a
winter in a steam-heated house.
Rosewood, also. the best cabinet
makers distrust. This wood has a Pc
culiar oily quality that makes it un-
safe when glued. For this reason rose
wood is used chiefly as a veneer Thin
| sheets lose much of their oil and take
glue satisfactorily.
Native walnut is no longer a favorite
with the cabinet makers. This wood
was in effect exhausted a quarter of a
| century ago or more, and is now as eX-
pensive as mahogany and by no means
so beautiful.
Chestnut is a good deal priced, not
for furniture, but for wainscotting and
for doors. 1t is sometimes put up in
the rough with good effect, and some
times oiled and polished, when it is re-
markably beautiful considering the
cost.
Gulf cypress is used with great effect
in like fashion, and when filed and
ciled it makes one of the most beauti-
full woods for inexpensive interior dec
grafton.
Cherry was the old substitute for
mahogany, and is still a favorite wood
with the furniture makers. 1t is, how
ever, not easily obtained in a properly
seasoned condition, for proper season.
ing makes it expensive.
The fact is that with cherry, as with
oak and mahogany, the seasoning is
an important element of cost. The
| cabinet maker who must sink his cap
ital for two or three years in wood
that is undergoing the process of sea-
soning, finds it hard to compete with
those who use kiln dried material.
Mahogany is the favorite wood with
| the best cabinet maker. There is a
vast amount of seasoned mahogany to
be had from ruinous old articles made
in the last century, when the rage for
mahogany was well d~eveloped;+ and
while the new mahogany is less beau
tiful than the old, purchasers of fur
niture seem to have learned that tits
worth while to have the new wood
we'll seasoned.-Chicago Journal. ~

THE WORK OF FRIDAY,
In Cleaning the Bedrooms a System
Should Be Followed at Least SINH
lar to One Given Below.

For the weekly cleaning out OF a
bedroom one should collect all the re-
quired articles to work with, such as
the long carpet whisk, the dust pan
and brush, the dust sheets, and the
mattress brush. This is followed by
the brushing of the mattress and the
busting of the bedstead.
Make the bed and shake and pin up
any curtains. Remove short muslin
blinds. Dust all the ornaments and
place on a tray outside the room.
Shake and fold up all toilet covers
and cover the bed and large pieces of
furniture after busting with dust
sheets. Roll up rugs and mats and
carry out of the room to be shaken.
Then sweep the ceiling, cornice and
walls with a clean broom covered with
a clean buster. Shut the windows
and sprinkle one strip of carpet with
clean drained tea leaves. Sweep the
carpet with a long-handled carpet
whisk towards one pile. sprinkling
and sweeping in strips till the whole
is clean, afterwards sweeping the
wooden surroundings with a hair
broom. Then open the windows and
leave the door closed for dust to settle.
While waiting prepare all the things
that have been removed ready to re-
place. The dust sheets may now
be removed carefully, shaken in the
open air, folded, and put away.
Dust first the highest things, win
dows, door frames, ETC., and after rub
bling the furniture the wooden surround
ings should be gone yer with a
damp rubber, dry duster and floor pol
fsh. Now clean the windows, and

a greater claim upon us than any other
class of our citizens. To them first of
all among u people honor is due.
IMMIGRATION.
As | said in my last message to the
congress, we cannot have too much
immigration of the right sort, and we
should have none whatever of the
wrong sort.
The questions arising in connection
with Chinese immigration stand by
themselves. The conditions in China
are such that the entire Chinese cody
class-that is. the class of Chinese Ia
borers, skilled and unskilled - legiti-
mately come under the head of unde-
sirable immigrants to this country.
But in the effort to carry out b pol
icy of excluding Chinese laborers, Chi
nese coolies, grave injustice n wrong
have been lone by this nation to the
people of China and therefore ultimate
ly to this nation itself. Chinese stu
dents, business and professional men
of all kinds, not only merchants, but
bankers, doctors. manufacturers, pro-
f~essors, travellers and the like. should
be encouraged to come here and treat
ed on precisely the same footing that
we treat students, business men. trav-
elers and the like of other nations.
As a people we have talked much of
the open door in China, and we expect,
and quite rightly intend to insist upon,
justice being shown us by the Chinese.
But we cannot expect to receive equity
unless we do equity.
THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Heads of executive departments and
members of the commission have call
ed my attention to the fact that the
rule requiring Il filing of charges and
three days notice before an employee
could be separated from the service for
in%efficiency has served no good pur-
pose whatever. Experience has shown
that the rule is wholly ineffective to
save any man if a superior for inn
proper reasons wishes to emove him
and is mischievous because it
times serves to keep in the service in
competent men not guilty of specific
wrongdoing. Having these facts in
view, the rule has been amended by
providing that where the inefficiency or
incapacity m within the personal
knowledge of the head of a department
the removal may be made without no
tice, the reasons therefor being filed
and made Il record of the department.
The absolute right of removal rests
where it always has rested, with the
head of a department. The change is
merely one of procedure. 1t was much
needed, and it is producing good re-
suits.
PHILIPPINES AND OTHER IS
LANDS.
During the last year the Philippine
Islands have been slowly recovering
from the series Of disasters which since
American occupation hare greatly re-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-12-05

duced tile amount Of agricultural prod
ucts below what was produced in Span
ish times.
The agricultural conditions of the is
lands enforce more strongly than ever
the argument in favor of reducing the
tariff on the products of the Philippine
Islands entering the United States. l
earnestly recommend that the tariff
now imposed by the Dingley bill upon
the products of the Philippine Islands
be entirely removed, except the tariff
on sugar and tobacco, and that that
tariff be reduced to % per cen of the
present rates under the Dingley act;
that after July 1, 1909, the tariff upon
tobacco and sugar produced in the
Philippine Islands be entirely removed
and that free trade between the islands
and the United States in the products
of each country then be provided for
by law.
In my judgment, immediate steps
should be taken for the fertilization of
| Hawaii. This is the most important
| point in the Pacific to fortify in order
to conserve the interests of this coun-
try. 1t would be hard to overstate the
Importance of this need. Hawaii is too
heavily taxed. Laws should be enact
ed setting aside for a period of, say,
twenty years 70 per cent of the internal
revenue and customs receipts from Ha-
wall as a special fund to be expended
in the islands.
1 earnestly advocate the adoption of
legislation which will explicitly confer
American citizenship ON all citizens of
Porto Rico.
l wish also to call the attention of
the congress to one question which af-
fects our insular possessions generally
namely, the need of an increased lib
| crafty in the treatment of the whole
| franchise question in these islands.
| earnestly ask that Alaska be given
an elective delegate.
ADMISSION TO STATEHOOD.
l recommend that Indian Territory
and Oklahoma be admitted as n state
ana that New Mexico and Arizona be
admitted as II state.
THE PANAMA CANAL.
Active work in canal construction,
mainly preparatory, has been i'll prog
ress for less than a year and a half.
During that period two points about
| the canal have ceased to be open to
| debate. First, the question of route;
| second, the question of feasibility. The
point which remains unsettled Is wheth-
er the canal shall be one of several
locks above sea level or at sea level
with a single tide lock. On this point
l hope to lay before the congress at an
early day the findings Of the advisory
board of American and European en-
! gineers.
In addition to s%anitating the isthmus,
satisfactory quarters are being provid-
ed for employees and an adequate sys-
TEN of supplying them with wholesome
food at reasonable prices has been ere
ated. Hospitals have been established
and equipped that are without superb

appropriation Of $4,000, 900 out of the
