May Be Able to Restore Colorado Riv-
err to Old Channel.
San Francisco, Aug. 24.-Southern
Pacific officials state that the Salton
Sea, in the Colorado desert, is rising
less than an inch day now and they
expect in a few weeks to begin work
on a plan by which the Colorado riv.
er will be once again restored to its
old channel. This will probably cost
the company 100000. A large force
of men and teams is to be employed
to construct heavy entertainments,
where the river water is flowing into
the old channels and thence into the
Salton basis, which is 262 feet be-
low the level of the sea. Engineers
in the employ of the railroad, say
that once the river is sent back into
its old channel, the water in the So
called Salton sea, Notwithstanding ii
Is thirty feet deep in many places,
VIII, through percolation and rapid
evaporation under the terrific heat OF
the desert, all disappear within two
or three years.

No Increase in Cotton Acreage.

According to adviceS received at
the headquarters of the Mississippi
Cotton Association in this city, there
will be no increase of cotton acreage
in the state this year, while the
chances are that there may be a Slight
reduction as compared with that of
last year, and a larger acreage in
corn, oats, hay, forage. crops, etc.
During the past few days hundreds
of letters have been received by Secre-
tary Woods from all parts of the
state relative to the acreage question,
and all are practically of the same
tenor No increase OF = acreage is
promised, and communities reporting
larger fertilizer sales than heretofore
explain this on the ground that no
fertilizers whatever were used last
year, and in the uplands it is abso-
lutcly necessary to fertilize in order to
raise crop.
Labor scarcity is generally COM
planned Of, and these complaints from
the hill counties are more frequent
than heretofore. The delta, Of course,
always complains Of labor troubles,
but this year it appears to be particu-
larly ACUTE owing to the general de-
mand for labor on railroad contracts,
public works. general building opera
tionS, etc. In fact, throughout the
state it is hard to find an idle negro

EXPOSITION COMPANY
TO ADOPT emblem
Jamestown Exposition Company
Offer One Hundred Dollars As
Prize for Best EmbIem-James-
town First English Settlement

The Jamestown Exposition COM pauy
is anxious to adopt some official en-
blem which will suggest to any imagi-
native person the subject Of their ex-
position.
Jamestown was the first English
| speaking settlement in America. 1t
might be called the parent of the col
Onies.
From the first village others grew
until there was real colony of Viz
ginia instead Of nominal one.
The Atlantic coast east of the Ale
ghenies was dotted with villages and
filed with colonies which grew to such
proportions that, combined, they were
able to overthrow the domination Of
England in 1776.
Some pictorial idea embodying the
suggestion of focal point, a nest, or
a place of beginning, may make
very appropriate and suitable emblem.
There are a number of incidents
which occurred in the early history Of
Virginia which might be worthy Of
illustration in connection with the
above thought.
Nothing is left of jamestown but
the old tower which formerly sur
mounted the entrance to the first
Episcopal church built in America.
At one time Jamestown was q fine
ly stockaded village capable of suS-
tanning the shock of savage. attack.
These StOckadeS are but memories,
but they once were important facts.
At Jamestown was held the first
legislative assembly ever selected by
popular suffrage in any colony. This
was the forerunner to our state
legislature and national congress.
This thought might be incorporated.
From Virginia adventurous pioneers
crossed the Appalachian mountains,
first settling the valleys between the
Blue Ridge and Alleghenies, and pro-
ceeding westward, settled the Cis-Mis-
sissippian states.
The men who first made this pilgri-
mage were the Knights of the Golden
Horse Shoe, the only purely Ameri-
can Order OF Knigilthood.
The Revolutionary War was eeH-
cluded in Virginia by the Battle OF
Yorktown. The Civil War was large
ly record of Virginia events.
OF course modern history would nCs
be as appropriate in this device as
some thought connected with the
seventeenth century.
The jamestown Exposition company
is Offering $4,000 to the artist imagi
native ameteur who can out Of his
inner consciousness create thought
which will Subserve their purpose and
will typify the beginning Of the Hation.

RIFLE SHOTS KILL
TWO FINE MULES
Deadly Aim Of Miscreant Kills
Two Mules and Cripples Rider
in Public Road Mules We're
Property Of B. c. Duncan

Through some miScreant'S aim with
a winchester rifle, Mr.. B. c. Duncan,
had two fine mules on his plantation
on Tallahatchie river shot and killed
on last Saturday night in the public
road and while their riders were upon
them. Negroes on Mr.. Duncan's farm
were riding the mules and were near
ing TippO bridge on their way to
Judge Roane's farm just on this side
when some man suddenly appeared in
the public road and took something
like half dozen shots at either the
mules or the riders, presumably
the mules. Both of the mules were
killed Cne being shot in the forehead
and the other in the neck. One Of
the riders received h bullet in his hip
which broke it. No cause can be as
signed for the deviltry and Mr.. Dun
can will doubtless put in operation
forces that will bring the guilty to
the bar Of justice. Such acts of law
lessness should receive the extreme
penalty of the law, and every good
citizen in that community should as
siSt in apprehending the perpetrators.
Outside Of the mere incidents of this
piece of fiendiShneSS, there might
have been white passengers on the
road who would have been the recipi-
ents of some of the leaden missiles.
Much excitement exists in that COM
munity because Of the occurrence.

NEGRO MURDERED
BY UNKNOWN PARTY
Geo. Anderson, CoIored, Found
With Two Bullet Holes in His
Body i No CIew As Yet to
the Assassin

Early Monday morning, February
&c, the body of George Anderson, col
ored, was found lying in a cotton
patch just on the edge of East Grenada,
pierced with two bullets, one having
entered the left breast just above the
nipple, and the other the small Of the
back just to the right of the backbone.
BY his side was lying winchester
rifle which he had when last seen the
night before. There were no car
tridges in the rifle, but dozen or
more were found in his pocket. The
murdered man left u negroes house
within quarter of a mile OF where
he was killed on Sunday night about 8
O'Clock and shortly after his depar-
ture, two shots were heard. But
such noises are SO frequent over in that
vicinity no attention was paid to
them. Up to this writing no clew
has been obtained as to the identity
of the murderer. Anderson dropped
into this vicinity about year ago and
had been in the employ Of Mr.. Rob-
ert Kincaid at saw mill for about
ten months. Mr.. Kincaid states that
he had been a faithful worker, still
there was a suspicion that clung to
him. He said to Mr.. Kincaid on one
occasion said that Grenada Jail was
the only one which be had never o.
cupied. 1t was said Of him that he
was never without the rifle which he
had when killed, that he carried it'll
everywhere and on all occasions. He
was evidently bad negro and doubt
less an escaped convict. OF course his
assassination was cOwardly one and
if the perpetrator could be apprehend-
ed and dispatched on after his victim,
the world would be in better Condi-
tion because Of the absence of both Of
them.

Senator A. S. Yarbrough Of the
Thirty-third senatorial district is de-
SirouS of having the constitution Of
Mississippi so amended that the cot
ton growers of the different counties
may levy tax of one half of one cent
per pound on all lint cotton produced
in the county and with the funds de-
rived therefrom erect cotton factor
les, each farmer to be interested in
proportion to the amount of tax paid.
In support Of his proposition he has
! submitted the following communica-
tion to the legislature:
Fluctuations in the price of cotton
for the past three years amount to
about $40 per bale each year. This
averages loss on ten million bales per
year of 800. 100000, or three hun
dred million dollars for the three
years, enough to build 500 factories
at a cost of 5000, 900 each. Had the
South 1900 more cotton factories,
where would the speculator be: The
demand would be SO great that cotton
would be sought after like mules in
Kentucky and Missouri. The manu-
featured product would be enhanced
in value on an average more than 400
per cent. The operators OF factories
would have to be fed, and home de-
mand would consume the products OF
the farms, gardens and truck patches.
Cattle, sheep and hogs could be sold
largely without the necessity Of ship
ping to far-off markets; shrinking,
freightage ana commissions could be
saved. The stockholders of the factO-
ries would be the growers of cotton.
Instead of a heritage Of worn out,
quilted lands. being handed down to
succeeding generations, they would
have stock factories, improved lands.
and hopeful employment. This can
be accomplished by cooperation. The
blessings we get through the postal
system, and the help that children
get in the way of education comes be-
cause of laws putting into operation
these cooperative systems.
''If we bless our people by securing
education and convenience for them,
why not still further bless them to
have employment, hopeful employ
ment, which is necessity to happi-
ness. An over-production of cotton
this or any year may run the price
down cents per pound, or $25 per
bale, a loss on say, 100000 bales,
of 1875, 900, 900, enough to build 1875
cotton factories at cost OF 5000, 900
each. When will we have sense
enough to manufacture our cotton?
Lets amend the constitution OF
the state so as to allow cotton grow
ers by majority to tax lint cotton IL
cent per pound on any cotton
grown within any county or subdivis-
ion thereof that may wish to do SO.

rieS.
