sociation. in regard to the bonded
warehouse plan Mr. Sully is
working up The conference last
led for two hours, and Mr.. Sully
said chat il was very satisfactory
H He and bis party left tonight fol
j Meridian. Mr.. SullY gave the
Picagune correspondent the fol-
Loving interesting interview to-
might.
The warehouse plan is meet
ling with success far beyond my
Expectations. We are now get
Ting affairs ia good shape, and
support is being given from all
lsides, merchants, planters and
bankers cordially joining Id the
enterprise. No business man Of
Isound judgment and discernment
can for moment doubt the feasis
Utility Of the warehouse plan, and
before the next cotton ginning
season opens we will have it Id
splendid working shape. The as
surance We have received from
Mississippi is especially fatter-
ling, and / am much impressed
with the deep earnestness display
ed by the farmers Of this State In
| the movement to reduce the cot.
ton acreage. Mississippi has a
fine working organization III the
field, and | am convinced from in
formation / have gathered during
1.-The past few days that the acreage
lin this State will be very mates
Irially reduced. / do not believe
that the farmers of the South are
| going to be influenced or led
Eastray by the present sseady tone
of the cotton market, nor will
they be deceived If the market ad
vances cent or so. The present
| tone Of the market is entirely due
| to the fact that the consumers Of
cotton, the spinners and manufac-
turers, anticipate the success of
the present movement, and the
farmers of the South will lose all
the ground they have gained If
acreage is planted on the same,
basis as last year or reduction
|plans are abandoned. =
He said, ID conclusion, that the
price of next seasons crop would
be regulated by the acreage plant
ed this spring. He says that the
farmers have it in their own
hands to raise The price Of their
product.

Ed. Perkins.

The editor OF The Leader has
Just received the following char
acteristic letter from his clever
friend Ed Perkins, for many
years one of the progressive and
prosperous citizens Of Paragould,
Ark:
Mr.. B. I. Hobbs, Brookhaven,
Miss.
Dear sir:- Enclosed please find
nv check for $500 on account of
subscription to your paper. / re-
ceive it regularly and enjoy read
ing it very much. / notice from
it that several Of your toWnciti-
zens are building several railroads
Tin the air.. 1t is my experience
that a railroad to be tangible,
must be built on the ground. And
when you have competing lines,
you viii find it makes a big differ
ence in the freight rates. You
will also find that the agents will
have more time to talk to You.
The fact is, they will come around
to see you and solicit your bust
ness, talk religion or politics, as
the case may be. So build the
railroad on the ground.
| enclose you a little pamphlet
telling you something about our
county and little city Railroads
made it.
With kind regards ana hoping
your dreams will be realized,
/ am yours truly,
E. B. PERKINS.

Imnort Freight Rates .

New York, April 22.-A meeting of high Atlantic trunk line officers with those of all the Gulf lines will be held Monday next to take up the question of import freight rates. Considerable unsettlement is said to exist over the present situation.
 New Orleans roads are demanding permission to name a differential of 10 per cent under the Baltimore Railroad rate on imported merchandise to Mis- souri and other points. The Baltimore rate ranges from cents to s cents under New Yorks rate on the various classes of freight, so that should the New Orleans contention be granted New York importers declare their po- sition would be unfortunate.
 While no definite action Is expected at Mondays meeting, those interested say that a free discussion of all che points involved will so clarify the at mosphere that a committee may be appointed to take the matter up and prepare q definite compromise plan that all interests may be induced to accept.

BANK OFFICERS sUBPoENAED.
Will Testify Before the Beef Trus
 Grand Jury.


 Chicago, April 22.-Vice Presidents and cashiers of four Chicago national banks have been subpoenaed by the federal officers working on the peer trsut' inquiry. The subpoenas called for the production of the accounts and records of theAetna Trading Company and the S. Oppenheimer and CO, Sau- sage Casing Company. The govern ment officials have traced from bank to bank and through the clearing house checks which were numbered and are said to bear fictitious names.
 The latest move Is said to be one of the most important yet made in the investigation and has caused stir among the leading packers who are suspected of having been directly con- nected with the operations of the Act na Trading Company. It required more than two weeks hard work on the part of several officials and National Bank Examiner Starek to trace the checks, many of which were discov- cred in trunks recently seized by gov ernment detectives. It was as di- rect results of the demands regarding the checks that the subpoenas were issued for the officials of the four banks.

New York, April 22.-Cnited States Commission Ridgeway today handed down an opinion discharging Lewis w. Wilcoxson. formerly of Chicago; James w. Taylor of White Plains. New York and James Smith of this city. from the charge of having in their possession a stolen United States bond.
 WilcoXson was arrested several months ago for having in his posses sion a $10,0OO United States govern ment bond, which was one of the thirty that were stolen from the Manhattan Savings Institution in the famous Jimmy Hope burglary of 1898. Taylor and Smith were arrested for attempting to negotiate the bond for Wilcoxson. Commissioner Ridgeway holds that there was no proof to show that there was a deliberate intent on the part of the defendants to violate the laws.
