HON. EARL BREWER
RESIGNS OFFICE
To Take Effect Sept. lst. and Enter on
Canvass For Governor.

The Governor yesterday afternoon re-
ceived letter from Hon. Earl Brewer,
OF Clarksdale, District Attorney for the
Ninth Circuit Court District, rendering
his resignation to that office, to take ef-
feet on September /.
In view of Mr.. Brewers announcement
for Governor several weeks ago, his res
gnation from the present position has
been expected for many days.
Surprise was occasioned, however, by
his placing the date for to vacate the
Office so late, September /, when, accord
ing to the Interpretation placed upon
the time of retirement, MIR. Brewer con
templates entering the contest, and
making canvass of the voters in his
own behalf.
Mr.. Brewer, perhaps, thinks that it
will take him several months to get his
personal affairs in proper shape for com
mencing the campaign. Another possi-
BILE solution OF the matter is that he re-
CARDS himself as having, between his
time of retirement, and the date for the
holding of the primaries, sufficient OPP
portunity to do his canvassng. Clarion

Mr.. VIM. MURRAY
VISITS GREENWOOD.
interviewing Planters Relative to Fur
nlshlns Them italian farm Labor.

Mr.. VIM. Murray, Of New Orleans, was
in the city last Friday and made The
Commonwealth an appreciated call.
Mr., Murray is the foreign passenger
agent Of the Illinois Central X. r., and
was on trip through the Delta, discuss
ing the question of Italian farm labor
with the planters. His company is TAX
ing an active interest in this matter,
and has made arrangements with the
steamship lines whereby Italians are
being brought direct to New Orleans
and sent out from that city to the great
Delta plantations at less expense than
they can be brought from New York.
Mr., Murray has communications from
numerous cotton planters commencing
the Italian as being very desirable
class of labor for producing cotton and
other farm products, and he would be
pleased to have all who may be interest
ed write him for such information as
they may desire along this line.
Mr.. Murray is an atTable gentleman,
veteran in the railroad business, and it
is always pleasure for him to do any
thing to assist in developing Missssip-
pi's unbounded natural resources.

SECTIONS ARE FOUND
And Gen. CatGhInss VIII Bring Them
Forward.

Secretary Of State Power today dis
covered the twelve missing sections of
the code chapter on Supervision of Com
mon Carriers.
The sections were attached to the
duplicate copy Of the enrolled manu-.
script and it is believed that this will
mean the settlement of the trouble.
Gen. Catchings, it is stated, will bring
the sections forward into the printed
copies of the code, thus restoring the
powers Of the railroad commission.
In reality, the actual manuscript of
the code was never before the legisla.
ture for adoption just prior 10 the ad.
iournment. The adoption was merely in
theory, az several code chapters were in
the hands OF tho clerical forces when
the legislature passed the bill adopting

GUAGlNG STATIONS
TO BE ESTABLISHED
On TaIiahatCfle, faIobusha and other
Rivers In Mississippi

Mississippi and eastern Louisiana are
about to receive the attention of the
Geological Survey. In response to num-
erous requests from many parts Of this
drainage area the photographic Branch
will establish at once number of river
stations for the purpose OF collecting
data in connection with the develop
ment of water power and the irriga-
tion of truck farms.
Mr.. W. E, Hall, representative of tho
photographic Branch has recently made
reconnaissance to locate suitable points
for obtaining reliable data concerning
the flow of several streams in this Sec
tion. As result Of these reconnaiss-
ances guaging stations will be estab-
lished at once on Tallahatchie River
near Batesville, on Yalobusha River
near Grenada in northern Mississippi,
on Homoehitto River near Rosetta in
southwestern Mississippi, and on Tan
gipahoa River near Amite and on Bogue
Chitto near Warnerton in eastern Louis
lana. The establishment of additional
stations will depend upon the finding of
suitable points and upon the availability
OF funds to carry on the work.
Mr.. NJ. r. Hall, photographer in
charge of the stream guaging work in
Southern States, has spent years in the
study of the behavior of southern rivers.
His supervision Of this work insures
careful collection of reliable data.
The demands upon the Survey for the
results of its Investigations in other
sections and for the initiation OF similar
work elsewhere have increased enor-
mously in recent years. These requests
by their scope indicate proper appre-
citation of the value of the work OF the |
Survey and furnish proof of the need of I
continuance and extension. They are |
not only from those interested in large |
enterprises looking to the utilization of |
water power, but from the municipali- |
ties along the streams whose growth has
made the question of water supply
paramount one, and from districts in
which truck farming has become prom
inent industry.
The publication of the results of the
photographic Investigations has been
followed quickly by the installation of
power plants on streams the discharge
OF which has been found by the Survey
to be ample, Many notable cases might
be cited in this connection as illustrat-
ing the Importance and economic value
Of the data obtained by the hydrograph- I
ers. Working either in cooperation with
state governments or along the Survey
has surveyed and mapped hundreds Of
rivers, and for term Of years has kept
accurate records of their fluctuations
and flow, This work in a large measure
has been responsible for the progress in
the East and South of the manufacture
ing interests.

"Pye been washing the faces Of the

"Is your work anything like that VI

twinkling eye, much amused, "only ip

On the curb. How is the pay? Well,
that's hard to figure, for we work by
the job. We don't clean clock faces in
winter, so we make enough in the
summer to last the year round. Of

pages are devoted to that popular

DETAILS OF A TRAP NEST.

for light and ventilation, and each COZ.
partment has trapdoor hinged at til
top so the hen can be removed froL
the nest. The nest box Is provided
with two screws at each side just for
ward from the middle. These rest Oh
blocks cut with V shaped top.
The nest Is balanced so the weight
of hen when she steps on the front
edge will tip it down, thereby releasing
the wire end that holds the door and
allows it to fall. Two pieces of wire
are used. One is made fast to q screw
eye driven in the front edge of the box
and extends up nearly to the under
side Of the top, where a piece of cord
Is tied to it. The cord passes through
screw eye and toward the front OF
the box, where, four inches from the
eye, it is tied to the longer piece of
wire that extends to the door. The
wire and string are adjusted so the
front end of the wire, passing througl:
a hole in the board, will project quar-
ter Of an inch and support the door
When the hen steps on the box AMI
drags the wire down, that pulls the
long wire in and the door drops. BY
opening the trapdoOr at the top it l..
easy to set the door again.-Orange
