Farmers and Mills at War.

Jackson. Miss, October 24.-(Special.)-- It is evident that quite a lively war is on between the farmers and the bil mills of the state. The mills are offeting SIP for the best seed and the farmers arc holding out for $14. The farmers declare the mills are chasing all the Feed as damaged and claiming that no Iseed is worth $14 The Cotton association and other organizations have appealed to the farmers time and again not to sell their seed for less than $14, as they al Ie worth more than that for fertilizing qbrn and cotton next year.

JACKSON WORRIED
 BY LABOR PROBLEM
MASS MEETING TO DISCUSS THE QUESTION RESULTS IN LITTLE GOOD, BUT ALL APPRECIATE SERIOUSNESS OF SITUATION.

Jackson, Miss, October 24-(Speclal9- At the instance of a number of manu- lecturers. the president of the board of trade called mass meeting a the county court house yesterday afternoon for the purpose of discussing the labor problem one that has come to be of serious mo- ment here during the past few months The manufacturers claim that they can not keep force of workmen because of the innumerable blind tigers with which the city is infested the practice of taking
 dope" and living on stealages from the white mans kitchen. The object of the meeting was good, and but for the fact that an over zealous prohbitionist threw stick of dynamite into the discussion by his direct allusions to some of the clubs, something might have been accom- plished. One of the largest employers of labor in the city is also active club man, and he crossed swords with the pro hibitionist in such a way that the object of the meeting was lost iii the shuttle, and it is not believed that anything fur ther will be done.
 However. 1t has come to pass that the employers of Jackson will be forced to import labor unless the city and coun. ty authorities get busy on the vagrants, the loafers, the blind tigers and every other person who cannot prove they are making an honest living. The cooks, the washer women, the gardeners the store sweepers and all other classes of labor here are organized and making the white folks" pay for what they pretend 10 do Iaa, ,.It f- city of Jackson but who packs home more grub" than she has plated on tke table of the party employing Ter during the day.

Furnishings

There are things we call furnishings which, taken separately, don't seem to be of the greatest importance.
 But they do count most critically with the Well-dresSed man.
 We've always prided ourselves on having such as are wanted by men of the most discriminating taste. And we think we've got them finer than ever this fall.

Learned Professors Mistake.

A famous German surgeon, a POM
pous man, who loved to impress his
patients and students with his impor-
lance, was lecturing to the latter one
day when a workingman entered the
room. The surgeon stopped him by
gesture and ordered his class to
look at him.
Nov, Mr.. X" he said to one of
his students, what is the matter
with this man? From here you
should be able to make a correct
diagnosis by looking at the mans
face, his bearing and the contour of
his head
Mr.. X, Mr. Y. and Mr.. 2. having
failed to make any diagnosis what
soever, the professor triumphantly
declared: "You ought to see at the
first glance that the man is deaf and
dumb
He forgot to mention that he him
self had frequently seen the patient.
Then the patient spoke up: mo,
your Excellency, it is my brother who
is deaf and dumb. But he looks very
much like me-

The law also provides for state
ments from political or campaign
committees and also makes it the
duty of the officer with whom
such statements are filed to
make out list of those failing
to comply and to publish it in
the official paper. and also makes
it the duty of the District attor-
ney to examine all statements
and to institute prosecutions for
the violation of any of the pro
visions Of the law.
1t is not believed to be of any
great Importance where the anti
primary expenses are filed be-
fore the election or not, but it
can easily be seen that such de-
tails might be Of interest to the
friends or opponents of those
who are running for election and
an effort may be made to compel
the filing of the statements,
thirty days from the primary
election, which would bring the
time upto day Oct. 4th.

The Sun Dance

DR.. Dorsey, writing in the Los An
geles Herald of the native tribes of
the West, remarks that what is
known as the sun dance has no evil
dence Of the sun in it.
1t is instead an ancient rite con-
tinued till much of the reason for it's
institution has been forgotten, but
what is known is that it is regular In
recurring, that it is kept up eight
day and illustrates the creation or
re1uvenation of the world This
would seem to denote that it is
counterpart of the Bacchic rites and
Adonis worship of former periods In
which under the figure of the death
and resurrection of the divine being,
the whitening and renewed growth of
vegetation were implied.

A Talking Watch.

A Swiss matchmaker has invented
watch which speaks the time from
tiny photograph. A very small
hard rubber plate has the vibrations
it, and is actuated by clockwork, so
that at given time the articulation
is made, indicating the hour. The
utterance is sufficiently strong to be
heard twenty feet away. 1t is pos
sible by means of a device of this
kind to combine sentiment with util-
ity, as the vibrations can be made by
any clear voice, and a mans watch
may tell him the time in the tones of
wife or children.

The question is now beirg
asked by those who were candi-
dates at the recent primary
election. Do the candidates
have 10 file their primary election
expenses thirty days after the
primary election or thirty days
after the general election? AS
over many other points of the
primary election there is a dis
pute over this clause also. TIC
be on the safe side blanks have
been sent out to all candidates
and many of them have filed
statements. Those who had no
expenses have so certified. The
law reads in partas follows:
Sec. 4543c statutes of 1898 as
amended by Sec 1, chapter SOP,
laws Of 19O5.-Every person who
shall be a candidate before any
convention or at any primary or
election to fill an Office for which
nomination paper or certificate
of nomination may be filed shall
within thirty days after the cleo
ton held to fill such Office. make
out and file with the officer en-
powered by law to issue certi-
fcate of election to such office or
place, a statement in writing
subscribed and sworn to by such
candidate setting forth in detail
each item in excess of five dollars
in money or property contribut.
ed, disbursed, expended or pro-
missed by him. and to the best of
his knowledge and belief by any
other person or persons for him
or in his behalf. wholly or in
part, in endeavorlng to secure or
in any way in connection with
his nomination or election to
such Office or place or in connec-
ton with the election of any
other person at said election,
the dates when and the persons
to whom and the purpose for
which all said sums were paid,
expended or promised, and the
total aggregate sum paid, expen-
ded or promised by such candi-
date in any sums or sums what
ever. Such statement shall also
set forth that the same is as full
and explicit as afiant is able to
make it. An exact duplicate of
such statement shall in like
manner and within the same
time be fled with the register of
deeds for the county in which |
such candidate resides. Any |
person failing to comply with
this section shall be punished by
fine of not less than $25 or
more than $500.

official manner.

ard of excellence in all public schools

tinuatiOn of the reforms SO auspici
ously begun.
Curb on Corporations,
We pledge ourselves to the enact
ment OF law providing for the re.
gulation of rates of service of al
pnblic service corpo rations, similar
