Truck Farmers Made Money.

The truck farmers of Mississippi are
balancing accounts to ascertain the re
suits of the season recently brought to
a close. Generally speaking, the sea.
son was the most prosperous that the
truck growers have enjoyed within the
past decade, while the crop was by far
the largest ever marketed. 1t is
doubtful if there is a truck farmer in
the State who is unable to figure a good
percentage of profit. while a majority
of the number made enough to give
ample recompense for the losses of pre-
viOus wears.

Wonderful Increase.

Sixty million dollars is the new esti-
mate made on Mississippi's assessment
increase for the current year, and in
dlcations are that it will be fully veri-
fed. The counties of Kinds, Pike
and Lee, representing the central,
southern and northern sections of the
State, respectively, show an aggregate
increase of over five million dollars,
and if this ratio should be maintained
in all the other counties the increase
would be fully eighty million dollars,
but it is not likely to be maintained
throughout the State. The sixty-mil-
lion dollar jump in assessed values
means that the State will receive, on
the basis OF a six-mill tax levy, $780,
600 more in taxes than last year.

May Remove Remains of DR.. Bodlev

May Remove Remains of DR.. Bodley.
The dedication of the new Presbyte-
rlan church at Vicksburg has caused
n discussion of the advisability of ex-
huming the remains of DR.. Hugh Bod
ley and placing them somewhere near
the new church, instead of in the
original First Presbyterian church
yard, where they now rest. This feel
ing is explained in the following in
scription on the memorial stone of DR..
Bodley:
Erected by a Grateful Community
to the Memory of DR.. Hugh Bodley,
Murdered by the Gamblers, July S,
1885, While Defending the Morals of
Vicksburg."
The original Presbyterian church,
which was built in 1880, is now used by
negroes.

 Harry Livermore and Jacob Glass were arrested on East Main street this morning by Oficer Brearton as they were peddling goods without a license. This makes about dozen in the past ten days that have been brought in for violating the city or dinance in this respect.
 A horse attached to a delivery wagon of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Go ran away on North Willow street this morning. It dashed down the steep grade at rapid pace and did not stop until it collided with fence near the corner of North Will low and West Grove streets. The driver was uninjured and the horse came out of the melee all right, but the wagon was demolished as was the portion of the fence into which the runaway ran.

Mr.. Sinclair says he spent five whole
weeks in the stock yards gathering
material for his novel. Why it would
take Dan OLeary, tho pedestrian.
when he was in his prime, that length
of time to walk around one of the big
vats in the butterine department..
The packers may, and probably do,
make genuine leaf lard out of cotton
seed, and convert pigs feet into fine
California grape jelly; but the story
about the man being rendered into
butterine, is little too strong.
was employed in packing house
for five or six years, and my work was
such that l had access to every room in
the house. I always found the sani-
tary conditions of each department to
be all that human skill could make it.
Of course when hogs are being killed
at the rate of one thousand an hour,
things in the killing room look some
what filthy to tenderfoot; but after
the days work is over every depart
ment is thoroughly cleaned. Acid is
poured into the catch basins and the
floors and walls are scalded and the
tables scrubbed The copper and
other vessels are secured until they
shine like piece of silver. If the en-
ployees did the filthy things the Mel
report says they did, they would not
only be discharged, but would be
arrested.
The Chicago packers give employ
ment to thousands of men whose
wages range all the way from two to
ten dollars day, but the Mel report
will be the cause of throwing hum
dreds of these men out of employment,
because it has practically killed all
foreign trade, and the packers will be
forced to shut down their plants.
Stock raisers will find no market for
their cattle. Raw hides will become
scarcer. Shoe manufacturers will
have to pay double price for their
stock, and when the chilly winds Of
winter begin to blow, the working
man will find it hard task to keep
his children shod. This mucktale
soup dishsd up by men like Upton
Sinclair will be more injurious to the
public health than the canned oxtail
soup put up by the Chicago packers.

The Making Of a Juror.

The Judge had his patience sorely
tried by lawyers who wished to talk,
and by men who tried to evade jury
service. Between hypothetical ques-
tions and excuses it seemed as tho
they never would get to the actual
trial of the case, relates the Green Bag.
So when the puzzled little German who
had been accepted by both sides
jumped up the judge was exasper-
ated.
"Schuge" cried the German.
"What is it demanded the Judge.
II tink 1 like to 60 home to my wife,"
said the German.
"You can't" retorted the Judge. aSit
down."
"But schuge," persisted the German,
81 don't tink l make a good shurer."
"You're the best in the box" said
the Judge. "Sit down."
"What box?" said the German.
"Jury box" said the judge.
"Oh, thought it was bad box that
peoples gets in sometimes"
"No,"' said the judge, "the bad box
is the prisoners box"
"But, schuge," persisted the little
German, 81 don't speak good English"
"YOu don't have to speak any at all"
said the judge. "Sit down."
The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea"
"Schuge," he said, II can't make
holdings of what these fellers say"
1t was the judges chance to get
even for many annoyances.
"Neither can anyone else," he said.
ssSit down."
With sigh the little German sat
down.

NEW TREATY BETWEEN
AMERICA AND CUBA
Believed That United States Is
Now Getting Worst of
the Bargain.

WASHINGTON. April S.-ActinG under
instructions from the State department.
Edwin Morgan, Minister at Havana. has
been In conference with the officials of
the Cuban foreign Office for some time
past, with the purpose OF framing q new
reciprocity treaty To replace the existing
convention. He has now practically com
pleted his work and Il treaty has been
drafted that may be ready for submls-
sion TO the Senate before the adjourn
ment Of the present session
Getting Worst of Bargain.
The reason for the preparation OF this
new treaty IS that the officials here have
become convinced that America Is getting
by far the worst OF the bargain under
the present arrangement While nearly
all OF the exports from Cuba come to
our ports, only = little more than one
third OF the imports into Cuba are fur
nished by American farmers and mer-
chants, Europe furnishing practically the
balance.
The Cuban Government did not care
to make these concessions, but II was
confronted with the fact that otherwise
there would be no treaty at all at the
expiration Of the present convention, and
without the preferential rates OF the
treaty 1t would be impossible TO market
Cuban sugar and other staples In Ameri-
ca at profitable rates, thus threatening
ruin 10 Cuba.

To the sugar people this state OF affairs
