Paris.-Before crowd which taxed
the capacity of the courtroom in the
Palace of Justice, in the old Latin
quarter, the case Of the Countess de
Castellane for divorce from her hus-
band, Count Boni de Castellane be-
gan.
Count Boni attorneys made no eff
fort for further postponement, and
with Henri Ditte, president of the
Tribunal of First Instance of the
Seine, presiding, and with two asso-
ciate justices on the bench. Maitre
Cruppi presented the plea of the coun
tess for absolute divorce and the Gus
tody of the children. This plea was
made upon documentary evidence,
and without summoning witnesses.
The great lawyer spoke for four and
a half hours, with an intermission OF
only fifteen minutes. The case was ad-
journed before Maitre Cruppi's ar
gument was finished and he still seem
ed to have plenty Of ammunition in
the locker.

The more pleasing and pleasant our
government can make farm life, the
better it is for the government. Our
cities are overcrowded with worthless
loafers who might be honorable and
respectable farmers. The rural route
is one of the things that has been
provided to make farm life more de-
sirable and attractive, and as we all
have to live off the farmers, nothing
should be left undone that could be
done TO make the farm inviting.

Hon. Walter Clarke recently gave
out the following with reference to
the low price being paid by the mills
for cotton seed and the proposition
to organize the producers for bet
ter price:
81 have recently received several
letters asking me to call to the atten-
ton of our farmers the present low
price of cotton seed, and ask their
cooperation in raising the price. |
find that on the basis of good sound
seed, the mills are paying from $l2
to $13 per ton. The seed damaged by
recent rains are bringing from So to So
per ton, and, think of it, our farmers
are selling seed at these prices! Are
the mills to blame for this? A large
number of farmers in many sections
of Mississippi have put their money
In oil mills and succeeded in advanc-
ing the price of seed materially. Ut
recent years the mills have not made
money, in fact, they all lost money,
due to the low price of oil and the
comparatively high price for seed. At
the present price for oil, there can
be no doubt that gooc seed are easily
worth from $15 to SIG per ton; but
the mill men having lost money by
too much competition, like sensible
men, got together and by some mys-
terious process of cooperation, sue
ceeded in buying seed for less than
the market value, and the farmer, fool
that he is, supplies the demand. How
long wifi it be before our farmers
learn the value and necessity OF CO.
operation? Aside from this, what
are seed worth to the. lands? The
chemical analysis of cotton seed shows
a fertilizerfyalue of 1920 per ton;
the vegetable matter in seed, which is
worth from So to SIS per ton of seed,
making the seed easily worth as a
fertilizer SIS to -$17 per ton, and yet,
thousands of our farmers are selling
their seed -robbing the soil of its fer
tility and decreasing its productive
capacity each and every year by this
process of robbery. The soils of Mis-
sissippi 5are growing less productive,
and our children will inherit bar
ren> waste unless we stop this insane
.reiicy. Again, one pound of cotton
;seed judiciously fed to cattle, is worth
as much as one and one-quarter pound
of corn. One ton of corn at so cents
per bushel, when fed to cattle, is
worth $17.85 One ton of cotton seed
fed to cattle is worth $22.3O. Again,
after the cattle have been fed on cot
ton seed and the manure properly
saved and returned to the land, 1t
has a fertilizer value of $18 per ton
of cotton seed, thus making COM
bined feeding and fertilizer value OF
$4,000 per ton, as compared to corn
which has no fertilizer value and a
feed value of only $17.85; and yet,
our farmers will sell this valuable
product for from SIS to $15 per ton.
The price of seed would be easily SOL
we'd if our farmers would persue a
rational course and sell one-half OF
the seed at $40 per ton and return
the other half to the land. Can we,
by organization; bring about this re-
suit? 1 sincerely hope that our va
rious county organizations will take
the matter up, which is so easy OF
solution, and solve 1t in rational
manner"

Arraignment of the Court.

Such severe arraignment has sell
dom been heard in this courtroom.
He painted Count Boni in the black
est of colors, declaring him to be ra-
pacious, brutal and licentious, while
the countess was held up as the long
suffering victim. Nothing was spared
and nothing was CLOSED over. In
chronological order Maitre Cruppi re-
counted the story of the alliance,
which, he said, had been unhappy
from the very honeymoon, owing to
the incredible extravaganza of the
husband, who in five years had used
up the colossal fortune that the daugh
ter Of Jay Gould had brought him.
Count Roni IS inordinate and insatia-
BILE demands for money according to
the attorney for the countess, began
as soon as the couple arrived in Paris,
and led Immediately to i'll treatment
and abuse and soon to blows. The
countess was struck by her husband,
according to the lawyer, the first time
four months after the marriage. This
was the result of quarrel in connec-
ton with a dinner given by an Amer
ican to which the count was not lnvlt-
ed. Intrigues and amours, carried on
under the countess very eyes, were
not long delayed.
Maitre Cruppii detailed liasons
with four society women, designating
them as Nine. A. Nine. B. Nine. G..
and Nine. D. Referring to the count
affairs with the demimondaines, the
lawyer told the story in plain, un-
vanished fashion. He made no at
tempt at rhetoric, but marshaled the
facts from a big dossier before him.
He read unexpurgated extracts from
discriminating letters, and gave the
dispositions of servants and others in
dicating infidelity.
Only when Maitre Cruppi reached
some particularly outrageous incidents
Of the counts conduct did his voice,
vibrating with passion, rise until 1t
penetrated the farthermost recesses of
the big hall, and at other times it
would soften as he spoke of the hui
inflated wife under such circum-
stances, trying to bear up in the face
+, of the world. AS he spoke of the
counts efforts to prolong the case
with view of securing forgiveness
and Cancellation, the lawyer fairly
shouted: "No, no, forgiveness is now

Women in the Case.
Beneath the disguises of Nine. A.
Nine. B., Nine C. and Nine. D., many
persons in the courtroom recognized
the identity of the women to whom
the lawyer referred, and there was
a craning of necks as the courtroom
listened to the reading of the words
of passion in the letters and the
curious were especially absorbed il

lawyer of the case of Nine. c., with

The writer by invitation spent a
day as the guest of the McComb City
fair last week. This is the third
year Of the fair and the promoters
are well pleased with the showing
made. A number of the agricultural
exhibits were exceptionally good, as
was also several in each of the other
departments. The attendance was
very fiattering indeed, and more es-
pecially when it is taken into consid-
Grafton that the storm and bad wealth
Ell had put the farmers behind with
their crops and that every effort was
being made to catch up with the gath
ering. The fair in Pike is on a firm
basis and already plans for next year
are being perfected. Extra induce
ments will be offered for exhibits Of
agricultural, horticultural, stock and
other farm products. 1t is expected
that the PRESENT building will be en-
tirely filed with these and that others
will be erected to take care of the
overflow. The people are enthusiastic
in the effort to make their next year
twice as good as this, which insures
it being among the very best in the
whole state.
