Natchez to Woodville.

1t is authoritatively stated here the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad
company has a corps of engineers en-
gagged in making a survey between
Natchez and Woodville, Miss, with
the view of constructing the much
talked of Woodville loop. Woodville
is only thirty-four miles distant from
Natchez by direct road and the con-
struction of the railroad would great
ly shorten the distance, and will also
lessen the distance between Natchez
and New Orleans very materially. The
deciding of the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley Company to build this loop is
said to result from the fact of the
proposed construction of the Missis-
sippi Central road into Natche.z The
construction of the proposed line by
the Valley people will open up some
very fertile farming lands and also
some rich forecasts Of long leaf yel-
low pine.

HAPPENINGS
ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL
SECTIONS.
AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From the Important Happen
ings Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed in
Brief.
Against Two Bankers.

The grand jury at Greenville has
reported a number of true bills and
adjourned. The indictments were
turned over to the sheriff by the
court, and his deputies are now en-
gagged in making the arrests. Grand
jury officials are reticent about what
was done, but it is generally under
stood, and, in fact, in subject OF
street gossip, that DIR. ]. S. Walker,
president and receiver of the defunct
Merchants Planters Bank, was In
dicted on the counts, charging respon-
bility with the cashier, Will Startling
for wrecking the institution. DR..
Walker is now i'll at his home. 1t Is
understood that the warrants for his
arrest were served on him there, and
that he was allowed to execute bond
for $4,000 to answer at this term OF
court. Two indictments were return
ed against Startling, who was arrested
and released on bond at the time the
Bank failed. The bank s deficit was
$155, 900, and Starling's family put up
$75, 900 or more to cover his share be-
fore the failure became known. How
ever, this did not save the bank.

New Equipment.

An equipment agreement has been
filed by the Southern Railway Compa-
nv with Secretary of State Power,
covering a large amount of the new
equipment recently ordered for this
system. The agreement covers nine
ty-eight engines, to be used for both
freight and passenger traffic, 300 bal
last cars, 75O fiat cars and 750 gon-
dola cars. The amount represented by
this purchase is $2,sOO,000, which is
the largest amount that has been ex-
pended by a road in this section OF
the country for new equipment in sew
eral years. In view of the fact that
the Southern Railway is planning
quite number of new lines, several
of which are to be built IN Mississippi,
this order for equipment is of more
than usual interest.

Spirited Fight Brewing.

Members of the R. A. Smith Camp,
United Confederate Veterans, of Jack
son, were very much surprised upon
receiving copies of the following reso-
olutions adopted by the camp of Unit
ed Confederate Veterans at Yazoo
City:
Resolved, that this camp is heart
lily in favor of removing the Confed-
crate monument from the grounds of
the old capitol at Jackson to the
grounds of the new capitol, and that
we request our representatives in the
legislature to use their best efforts to
consummate this end"
This resolution, if an attempt is
made to carry it out, is certain to pro-
woke a spirited fight, as the Confed-
ate veterans in Jackson are strongly
opposed to the removal of the monu-
ment, and have heretofore voiced
their disapproval of the proposition.
The monument now occupies a CEN
trail position in Memorial Park, which
was set aside by the legislature from
a portion of the old state house
grounds, and is governed by a spe-
cial commission appointed during
Gov. Longino's administration. The
R. A. Smith camp, has been collect
ing funds for several months to be
used in identifying the grounds.

Veterinary for State Farm.

At the January meeting of the pris-
on board of control "a proposition will
be submitted to create the office OF
prison, veterinarian, and it is believed
that it will receive favorable oonsid-
Grafton. Some time since the board
decided to convert the Oakley place
into a modern stock farm, and quite a
number of improvements looking to
this end have been made, the place be-
ing stocked with the best grades OF
cattle, mules and horses, and in the
future the board will endeavor to raise
all Of the work animals needed ON the
other prison farms. Some of the mem
bers believe that in order to assure the
success of this enterprise first class
veterinarian should be secured, and
the matter will be discussed fully at
the January meeting. Several names
have been proposed for the office.

New County.

A strong effort is being made by the
friends of the proposed new county OF
"George" to have favorable action
taken upon the matter at the coming
session of the legislature. The prop
osition for this new county is to make
it out of parts of Amite, Franklin and
Wilkinson, by taking 21O square miles
from the western part of Amite, l33
from the eastern part OF Wilkinson
and ninety-four from the southwest
ern part of Franklin, making coun-
ty of 437 square miles and a popula-
tiom of $4,000, and with a assessed
valuation of about $3,000,OOO. 1t
would leave Amite $40 square miles,
assessment $2,4OO,OOO, and popula-
ton of 10000. 1t would leave Frank
lin with 1853 square miles, an assess
ment Of $1,25O,OO0, and population
of $4,000. The proposed new county
would assume its proportion of the
indebtedness of Amite, which is $751;
600, and of Wilkinson, which is $780,
900. The advocates of George county
claim that at least so per cent of the
people within the proposed new coun-
ty live from fifteen to twenty-eight
miles from the seats of their respec-
tive county governments as now To-
Gated, and that the new county will
place 80 per cent of it's population
within ten miles Of their county gov

Boursa Depressed.

Paris. was depression on
the bourse owing to the continued un-
certainty and fears regarding the sit
uation in Russia and the Moroccan
situation. Russians were particularly
effected, imperials losing 8 francs, 1Oc,
and Russian bonds declining heavily
since the last quotation of Thursday.
Towards the close there was a slight
upward tendency but prices closed
weak above the earlier figures. The
decline in Russians is attributed to
the events in the Baltic provinces and
the reported lamentable condition OF
the Russian army in Manchuria. The
publication Of the Moroccan yellow
book has created public impression
that Germany took an aggressive and
almost belligerent attitude, but the
approach Of the Moroccan conference
leads to fears of recurrence OF Ger
many's aggressiveness.
