Sometimes bulls, along in years, are
broken to the yoke and made to work,
but there is lot of trouble in that
team. In Cuba, in the Philippines
and in fact in all the old Spanish
possessions, bulls are used-not oxen.
That's because it was done in Spain
500 years ago, and they have learned
nothing since. Look at any of the pic

The feature of the great Methodist
missionary convention at Fargo was
IAN address at the close Of the morning
session today by the celebrated DR.. H.
l.. Il. Luering of Singapore presiding
elder for the southern Malay district,
and his subject was Borneo.
DIR. Luering is distinguished as be-
ing the only missionary who has had
the temerity to explore the interior
OF that peculiar country and it is con-
sidered something to be able to sit in
front of him and listen to his story.
Borneo, he explained, is the most un-
civilized country in the world and is
situated south Of the Malay peninsula.
The doctor said that after learning
about the country he could not rest
until he explored 1t although he knew
1t was attendant with great dangers
and he gave his visit considerable pre-
ltminary study as to how best to ac-
complish it in safety and at the same
time have it eliminate in some good
to the people. He vas greatly aided
by his varied knowledge of the lam
guage and dialects of the country of
Asia. ,The men of Borneo are known
as head hunters and he displayed to
the audience head which had been
given him by one of the principal
chiefs of the country The chief he
met on the borders of the country
was able to use a little of the Malay
language, enough to- allow the doctor
to converse with him, and through that
medium he gained the confidence of
the chief and also learned enough of
the Borneo language to permit him to
~ nc nd %h,,e IL
himself at home. The speakers friend
ship with the chief secured his en-
trance to one Of the houses which
meant for the doctor absolute pro-
lection as long as the desired to re-
main in the country. The head he
had showed he considered a sacred
possession as It was q mark Of good
faith. On his receiving the head from
sthe chief the doctor made the promise
that he either would return himself to
minister to the people or send a mis-
sionary to them. The doctor being
made presiding elder made it impos-
sible for him to return and for fifteen
years he has been trying to get mis-
sionary to fulfill his promise, but he
has not succeeded The distinguished
missionary told many interesting
things about the country and its pos
sibilities and he was listened to with
great attention.
The sessions this morning and after
noon were presided over by Bishops
Vincent and Hartzell, respectively, and
the sacred edifice was crowded in every
part SO intense was the interest last
night that an attempt was made to in
duce the local committee to rent the
OperahOuse for today so that more
could attend, but the change could not
be made.

Then they shod him, split shoe, of

art to shoe an OK. We work him and
we eat him and we wear him, and

Mr.. Morgan spoke to quite a

ton of Grant and Pine streets
about 8 o'clock last night. He
was supposed to speak for Can

speech was against Hoke Smith,

Increase In South
ern Farm Values
Nearly Fifty Per Cent. in Last
Five Years, According to
Report Of Commits
sioner Holmes.

Washington, Aug. Mr..
George K. Holmes, Chief of the
!. Division of Foreign Markets in
the Department of Agriculture,
has made an interesting report
on Causes affecting Farm Val
ues in which he gives some high
ly interesting figures as to in
creases in values in the past five
years in various parts of the
country and in various classes of
farm lands. Tho it might have
been expected that the greatest
percentage of increase had been
IN the newer section of the West
the figures collected by Mr..
Holmes show that this is not
true but that the greatest in
crease in the value of farms has
been in the South Central group
of States where the increase has
amounted to 40.3 per cent. This
is accounted for largely by the
increase in the value of cotton
lands due to the higher average
prices of cotton during that past
few years. The rate of increase
for cotton lands was 49, per
cent. Second in order are the
hay and grain ferns with an in.
crease of IS per cent; live stock
farms increased 34.3 per cent;
sugar plantations, 1872 per cent;
rice farms 1878 per cent, and to-
bacco farms, $751; per cent. Mr..
Holmes estimates that the abso-
lutte gain in the value of farms in
the Central Southern States dur
ing the FIVE years has amounted
to the enormous sum of $1,201,
100000.
w. J. Oliver, of Chattanooga,
Tenn who is the largest gener.
al railroad contractor in the
United States is now in Washing
ton and is enthusiastic about the
present prosperity of the South
aud the prospects for the future.
In an interview he said:
Because of the great demand
for the raw material which the
South produces, it has more BUSH
ness than it can attend to. Cot
ton, coal, and iron are command
ing high prices, and as result,
the planters, miners, and all
classes are prosperous. In
order to take care of all this BUSH
ness, old established railroads
are constructing new branches,
and new lines are being built"
Mr.. Oliver went on to enumer-
ate improvements being made by
the railroads in nearly every Sec
ton of the South. All these i'm
prove ments and extensions mean
the expendenditure of many mill
lions of dollars for Southern lab
or and Southern supplies of all
kinds aud the result will be to
greatly increase the facilities of
the roads for handling the con-
stantly expanding commerce OF
the Southern States.
While the Hepburn railroad
rate law was before Congress
there was some uneasiness lest
it should be so framed as to give
to the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission authority to prescribe
diff, rentals and to fix the rela-
ton of rates affecting rival COM
muni'ies, an authority that would
almost certainly have been used
to the disadvantage of the South
on account of the general practice
of the Southern roads under
which rates to competitive mark

By Way Of Illustration.

The Brookhaven Leader is twit-
ting the jackson News for saying
that some State official was will
ing to bet a thousand dollars that
the courts would turn down the
mandamus suit about the Sandy
Bayou case. The Leader has
made several attempts to get the
News to give the name Of the
State officer who is willing to
make the wager, and has created
the impression that it wants the
name in order to cover the bet, or
bluff the reckless official. Daily
Clarion Ledger.
The above is pretty good ex-
ample of the unreliability of the
jackson newspapers, as cited in
The Leader the other day. The
Leader has never said anything to
the jackson News about a State
official in connection with the
mandamus proceedings III the
Sandy Bayou matter. It was a
different case altogether prop
osition by a prominent State Off
cial to bet on the Supreme Court
decision in the injunction proceed
Il
ings. The Leader has never
fheard any one except Bro.
Henry say The Leaders inquiry
created any such impression as
the one be mentions. It's dol
lars to doughnuts" the mute and
leyasive scribe Of the Evening
News never understood us in thai
way. Il he bad, we would have
received the name of the State
official who wanted to gamble on
the Supreme Court decision bJ

Judge Niles Decides Against the Pro
hibitionists.

Judge Niles has handed down
his decision in the g. 0. D. whis-
ky Injunction cases, and it is in
favor of the liquor houses, max
ing perpetual the injunction
against State or local interference
with this traffic on all bona fde
orders. As Judge Niles himself
is prohibitionist and very much
averse to this traffic, his decision
is, of course, the Interpretation
of the Federal laws as they are
VT itten, and not as be would have
them. The Leader has never be-
Eeved any very material legal
point would be gained for Prohi-
bition by this litigation. The on
ly lasting or material advantage to
be gained is through an amend
ment to the inter State commerce
laws by Congress, and by State
legislation, throwing greater re-
strictions around the express COM
panies handling whisky packages.
In this direction the Prohibition
lists must now look and work.

A Good Long Record.

Don't Judge of men by the
money they own, but by their own
keen sense of debt and the
promptness with which they meet
their obligations. Some men who
are only worth few thousand
dollars, pay their debts the day
they are due, and there is more
satisfaction in transacting busi-
ness with them, than with others
worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars, who are slow pay. This
is true of corporations also. It is
therefore as safe to do business
with The Mississippi Home In
surance Company, as with one
that has many millions, because it
has a twenty years record of
prompt payments.

haven agent, and Luther L.
