-LlEE-SAVING SERVICE

members of the Life-Saving Service
pensions such as are given to tlre .l!s

The men in the Life-Saving Service

Of fact wav do deeds such as make
Americans proud of their country.
Tbev have no political influence ];
and thew live in such remote places
that the really heroic services they
continually render receive the sean
test recognition from the public, II
is unjust for a great nation like tins
to permit these men to become total
" disabled or to meet death IN the
performance of their hazardous duty
and vet to give them no sort OF re-
ward. If one of them serves thirty
wears of his life in such a position
he should surely be entitled to retire
on half pay, as a fireman or police
man does, and if he becomes totally
incapacitated through accident or
sickness or loses his health in the
discharge of his duty he OF his lam
ily should receive a pension just as
any soldier should. I call your at
tention with especial earnestness to
this matter because it appeals not
only to our Judgment but to our
sympathy; for the people on whose
behalf I ask it are Comparatively
few in number, render incalculable
service of a particularly dangerous
kind, and have no one to speak for
them.

ADULTERATION OF FOODS

I recommend that law be enact

in -misbranded and adulterated
foods. drinks, and drugs Such law
would protect legitimate manufac,

the consuming public. Traffic IN
foodstuffs which have been debased

forbidden.

INDIANS

During the year just past, the
phase of the Indian question which
has been most sharply brought to
public attention is the larger legal
significance of the Indians induc'
zion into citizenship. This has made
itself manifest not only in great
access of litigation in which the citl-
zen Indian figures MS a party defend
mt and in a more widespread dis
position to levy local taxation upon
his personality. but in a decision OF
.he United States Supreme Court
which struck away the main prop on
which has hitherto rested the Gov
ernment's benevolent effort to pro-
tect him AGAINST the evils of intern
perance. The court holds, in effect
that when an Indian becomes, by
virtue Of an allotment of land tohiD-
= citizen of the State in which his
lond is situated. he passes from UNI
dor Federal control in such matters
rs this. and the acts of the Congress-
Prohibiting the sale OF gift to him OF
in+oxicants become substantially in
operative. Tt is gratifying to note.
that the States and municipalities
Of the West which have most at
stake in the welfare of the Indians
are taking up this subject and are
irving to supply, in a measure at
least. tho abdiration of its trustee
ship forced upon the Federal Gov
ernment. Nevertheless, I would ur--
GENTLY press upon the attention of
the Congress the question whether
som amendment of the internal-
revenue laws might not be of aid in
porsecuting those malefactors
known in the indian country as
''bootleggers, who are engaged at
7nce in defrauding the United States
Treasury Of taxes and, what is far |
more important, in debauching the
Indians by CARRYING liquors illicitly
INTO territory still completely under
jurisdiction.
Among the crying present needs
If the Indians are more day schools

New County.

It is proposed to form a new county
out of the western part of Amite,
eastern part Of Wilkinson and west
ern part Of Franklin. The new
county as proposed will be about
thirty-fve miles long and fifteen wide.
It will take in the towns Of Center
vile, Gloster, Rosetta, Knoxville,
White Apple and Roxie. For about
sixty miles along the Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley Railroad it is fifteen
miles to q courthouse, commencing at
Louisiana line and running to Harris
ton, There is almost territory enough
for two new counties in the counties
mentioned. The county as proposed
will form one Of the richest hill coun.
ties in the State. The assessed value
of property, it is believed, will be
nearly $4,000,000. Little opposition
is known in the territory out of which
the new county will be formed.

New Study.

The school teachers Of Mississippi
are now perfecting themselves fol-
the work Of teaching the new study
element of agriculture, which has
been added to the curriculum Of the
public schools, beginning with the
approaching scholastic term. Ele-
ments Of agriculture will be taught
in all the country districts, and sup
plants the subject Of physics, which
has been eliminated except in the sep
arate school districts, where it will
continue to be taught. During the
last few weeks nearly all the teachers
in the State have qualified to teach
the new branch by standing addition
al examination, and at the sessions OF
the County Institutes of teachers now
in progress over the State it is one 81
the main themes of study and discus
sion. The addition Of this study to
the curriculum is generally indorsed
for nearly 80 per cent. of the school
children Of Mississippi live in agricul-
tural districts.

Deaf and Dumb Building.

found that the building is now prac-

some inside finishing jobs of a minor

Junket Trip for Lumbermen.

Arrangements are being made foa
O delegation Of lumber manufacta-
rers from Mississippi to visit the prin-
cipal cities Of the East during the
month Of September for the purpose
OF pointing out the many advantages
and superior qualities Of Mississippi /
celebrated long leaf yellow pine. Al
though the yellow pine is the chiei
article OF lumber manufacture in the
south, It has never been extensively
used IN the Eastern States, owing
chiefly to the fact that it has never
been properly introduced, and also to
unfavorable freight rates. However,
the northern forests on which the
states of the upper Atlantic coas,
have largely depended for timber are
now almost depleted, and the point
is being reached when they will have
to look to the south for their timber
supply. BY conference with timber
Jobbers and retailers it is believed
that the southern manufacturers can
arrange satisfactory business rela-
tlons with the East. The visit is
prompted by the fact that yard man
ayers from the section of the country
have paid frequent visits to the state
during the past few months, and are
manifesting much interest in the in
dustry in this section. The lumber
output in Mississippi thus far has not
been curtailed by the quarantine, al
though the restrictions will no doubt
have some effect on the trade ere many
weeks pass by. The export business
has been exceptionally good, the Gulf.
port harbor having shipped cargoes
aggregating 14,29O,OOO feet of lumber,
1862 barrels of rosin and 464,0OO
gallons of turpentine. The exports
from Gulfport for the first seven
months Of the present year aggregate
about 125, 100000 feet of lumber. At
the present rate, the annual exports
will exceed those Of last year by al.
most 10 per cent.
