fence Of years has ia ght in the ham

Board Of Trade has also perfected a
Ike organization with Mr.. J. T. Saw
zee an experienced railroad man in
'harge. The same service will be
performed for the Jackson business
nan. The benefits to be derived from
such organizations is Of value, in both
arge and small shipments. With an
sxperienced man in charge, incorrect
atings will be discovered and the
vercharee refunded, amounting 20
2rge sums in the course of a year.

bottom. The entire plant should be
IN exceptional fruit producer. Seed
should be selected from these marked
cotton stalks, but the top bolls and
bolls on the ends of the limbs should
not 90 into the lot for seed; they
tend to make the cotton later. Ths
bolls selected for seed should be pick
ed by special field hands sent in ad-
vance Of the regular pickers. This
seed cotton should be stored in dry
place and watched to prevent mix
ing. Special care must be taken at
the gin, that the gin and floor are
free from all other cotton seed be-
fore ginning. Store this seed in a
dry place. Where greater length Of
staple is desired, select for seed such
bolls only as show the longest staple.
By careful selection most any desired
qualities, or characteristics, can ul.
timately be secured.-Delta Demo-

At intervals during the past few
years the writer has called atten-
ton to the possibilities of guiseng cul.
ture in Mississippi. An acre of this
plant at seven or eight years of age
is said to be worth some $4,000.
What it would cost to produce this
acre of ginseng is probematical, but
surely nothing like what it would be
worth. At Hickory Flat in Benton
county Rev. W. E. Crum is growing a
bed that is now four years old. Near
Aberdeen another planting was made
last year and in the course of time
we will know from actual experience
what can be done with the plant in
Mississippi. 1t grows wild in the
northern section of the state and il
appears reasonable that it could be
cultivated successfully.
An Aberdeen paper calls attention
to the fact that Mississippi has long
been sorghum producing state and
that the movement now on foot is to
make it a sugar cane syrup producer
with market for every gallon that
can be made. This is the correct yer.

this ore. Plenty of water power

fuel. The only impediment to the
successful operation of these mines,
even when their products are very
low, was the lack of transportation.
decided to part with limited amount
of treasury stock. for the purpose of
constructing ore roads and putting
in the necessary machinery.
One-third of all the stock was
placed in the treasury so that we will
always have sufficient means to
bridge any necessary expense, but
only small block is offered at this
time, as we are confident that as soon
as we have transportation facilities
that the mines will Immediately place
themselves on a paying basis, now
that the price of their products have
nearly doubled.
This is an opportunity to get in on
the ground floor with the original
owners. who have borne the heat and
burden of the day in times past. when
prospecting rock cost money.
Secure some of this rock and aid
in developing one of the greatest cop
per producing propositions known to
exist In the United States. and watch
your bank account grow and the
stock go up as the shaft goes down.
We will be glad to have our property
inspected at any time. as 1t will much
more than bear out any of these
statements. But don't neglect to
come in and reap with us, as there
are thousands of tons of high grade
ore ready to ship as soon as this road
can be completed. and the harvest
will be great.
Treasury stock is now offered at
15cents per share, owing to the great
necessity for this road. When we
have accomplished that the stock
must Immediately advance. as the
mines will at once become a paying
proposition. which means at least so
cents for the stock. Now is the time
to help us and yourself, and this is
the last offer at this price.

outlay of capital and a great deal oi
labor. Each owner OF 'farm'-as the

croachment by neighbor or stranger.
And curious thing about II is thai
these men engaged in the business
have learned TO know their own terra
pins by the expression of their faces
Not long ago negro boy was arrested
In one of the lower counties in the
Rappahannock river for stealing q
diamond back and he was convicted
upon the testimony of the owner. who
swore point blank that the said ter
rapin was his. and was stolen from
his farm, because he recognized the
aforesaid terrapin by its Individual
expression of countenance, which he
had studied for years
He stated also that all his terra

look out OF the quiet eyes; that he
would know them at once anywhere

we would be none the wiser. We
would. perhaps. notice that We were
using more thread than usual. but
the excess might be attributed to
other causes
We have to check out every spool
we give to our tailors. Even at this
we are in danger of having a cheaper
grade substituted The difference in
the price OF the spools may be only
one or two cents, but II offers temp
tation II the scheme can be worked
on a large scale. Some years ago
we were forced to the conclusion that
a fence was being operated to dis
pose of stolen thread. The spools
were sold by peddlers from house to

establishments TO have each spool
