1t would be well if every voter in
Inc State could visit Jackson during
the session of the legislature and
spend a week or so looking in upon
tne law-making bodies at work. It
would not only acquaint them with
Facts In connection with the State
Government, but would convince them
OF the character Of men to select in
the future for filing this doubly i'm
portant office. The very ablest, safest
and most influential men should be
elected to make up tie legislature
bodies. Because he is a "good fell
low and the people feel like doing
something for. him is no reason why
ne should be sent to make laws for
the government of nearly two million
people. The legislator is equally i'm
portant with the officers for enforc-
ing the law, and just as safe and CON-
petent men should be selected to Fill
that important station.

There is a measure pending before
the legislature at present that should
attract universal attention at the
hands Of the people of our State, and
there is no doubt but that it should
become a law. There has been de-
mand for such a law for years, but
for some reason it has failed of pass
age heretofore. The sentiment that
demands it is so strong that there
seems to be every probability that it
will go through this time. The SUBJ
stance Of the proposed measure IS as
follows: "Be it enacted by the leg
islature Of the State Of Mississippi,
that all, advertisements Of sales to be
made under mortgage and deeds Of
trust executed on real estate; which
is to be sold at public cutlery in a
public place shall have advertisement
Of same made in public newspaper
published in county where the real
estate is situated, not less than thir-
ty days before the sale thereof; and
also all advertisements of sales to be
made under mortgage and deeds Of
trust executed on personal property
where the amount is 800 or over,
shall be made in a public newspaper
published In the county where the sale
is to be made, not less than two weeks
before the date Of sale thereof; pro-
vided, if there be no newspaper pub
llshed in county where sale is to be
made, same may be made in any news
paper published in an adjoining coun-
ty." The bill was introduced by Hon.
W. M. McAllister Of Wayne county,
who is a prominent member Of the
House and will no doubt push /.
through. Mr. McAllister appreciates
the demand for such law, particu-
larly in the fact that too many poor
people are robbed Of their belongings
where mortgage has been made, no.
tice Of which is posted in out-of- the
way places and on the day Of sale
there are no bidders. The newspapers
have long been calling for such law,
and this is the time for them to give
to Mr.. McAllister the aid necessary
to get this bill through. The author
is great friend to the newspapers as
well as the poor people Of the State.
His proposed bill has merit and is
worthy OF consideration and passage
at the hands of toe law-making bodies
now In session.

There is a movement on foot to

After month Of session move has
at last been made to do something for
the protection Of Mississippi policy
holders in foreign life insurance COM
panies. Mr.. Doty has introduced .
bill calling for the election Of d.
rector by Mississippi policy holders
in each Of the old companies, said di-
rector to be recognized in the manage
ment Of the company's affairs. The
proposed law, while it may not be
f$ust what could be desired, is certain
ly in the right direction. Our people
are deserving Of some protection and
this provides that they have repre-
sentation on the board Of directors to
say the least. In the opinion of the
writer, a good provision would be to
require all companies doing business
in the State to deposit with the State
Treasurer. each year in approved Sc
curities, an amount sufficient to cover
the legal reserve computed by an ex-
perienced actuary. Approved secu-
rites as now. specified by the laws are
Mississippi securities, and such a law
would not only prove a protection to
the policy holder, but would bring into
great demand Mississippi bonds and
real estate mortgages and other forms
Of Indebtedness now constitution ap-
proved securities.
Guntown in Lee county is good
section to tie to. The people up there
pay as they go and are in splendid cir
cumstances. The Hot Times records
the fact that last year Thomas Camp
bell sold chickens, eggs and butter to
the amount Of $114.60, besides the
regular farm crops and that Austin
Means did nearly SO we'll, cashing IN
$126 during the same period. Chick
ems pay in Mississippi, and it is pass
ing strange that more Of our people
do not engage in their propagation.
They bring q good price at any season
Of the year and as for eggs, they are
worth 20 cents with the market full.
An esteemed newspaper man says:
There is big moneyin farming where
Iland is worth the trouble Of culti-
walton. The improvement Of the poor
spots on the farm is as important as
the cultivation Of the growing crops. :
I'm which there is big slug Of truth.

How the hill sides to wash into gnllies

The Neshoba Democrat recorded
last week the killing Of shoat by j.
I. Long of that county that tipped
the beam at 545 pounds after being
dressed. W. H. Sanford Of the same
county day later brought in one that
weighed 765 pounds after being dress
ed. That is couple Of handsome
porkers and goes to show that Missis-
sippi is good State in which to raise
hogs. It is safe to predict that this
meat did not cost the gentlemen that
raised it three cents per pound. 1t
is high time that our smoke houses
were brought closer to home. Armour
and Cudahy have had a monopoly Of
furnishing this staple necessity too
long and the sooner our people arrive
at that conclusion the better for them.

The care Mississippi is taking Of

The Beauvoir home is coming for a
large share Of commentator and de-
servedly so. This is no more than
should be done for these gallant fell
lows who so valliantly defended a
cause that they believed to be right,
and now that the shadows Of evening
have fallen and find themselves with
out strength or the means of support.
The legislative committee sent there
to examine conditions and make rec
concentrations for appropriations suf-
ficient to carry on the work paint in

ton is doing and it goes without say
ing that this is one thing the law-mak,
ings bodies will not baggle over in the
way Of money for support.
Senator Boyd's geological survey

something valuable being found. Il

Mr.. r. Stark of near Ripley tried
long staple cotton last year and found
it profitable. He made a good yield
which brought him ID and 16 cents
per pound. Mr.. Stark is of the opin-
ion that the cotton made as much or
nearly so to the acre as short staple
and will likely plant largely of it next
year. R. B. Henderson, another good
farmer of that county sold during the
year just past 240 dozen Of eggs, 277
pounds Of butter, 81 chickens, and 800
pounds of meat. This speaks well for
Tippah county and goes to show what
a man can do up their if he will COM
bine proper proportions Of energy
and common sense. Mississippi is the
best State in the Union and the fact
is fast coming before the public.

In anticipation OF possible further
trouble, Mayor Woodward yesterday is
sued au order that all boys under twenty
one years of age must keep of the streets

Thomas Dixon's play, 'The Clans

Negro Prisoners Rebel.

Rockville, Tenn, Sept. 25.-Thirty-
five negro prisoners, including Is muir
derers, two OF whom are sentenced to
die, rebelled against the jailor at the
Knoxville county jail last night, refusing
to 20 from the corridor into their cells.
For two hours they kept the officers at
bay, although enclosed behind bars.
Four of the officers were cut With bottles
thrown by the prisoners. The jailor
turned the hose on the refractory
negroes, but this ireozifd them. The
negroes finally captured the hose and
turned 1t on the officers. and then attack
cd the latter with bottles, plates, cups
and saucers, also broom handles on the
ends Of which open knives we're fastened.
Three of the officers we're hemmed in by
negroes and had to draw their pistols
and threaten death to the confined pris.
oners in order to get out of range of the
bottles. The sheriff finally quelled the
negroes, but only after the police had
been called. The trouble resulted from
the negroes reading an account of the
Atlanta race riot.

big stick. Last night intelligence came
from Cuba that the getting together pro-
cess was going on veil and that "the in
snrOeut committee had announced that
there was virtually no differences re-
manning between them and Secretaries
Taft and Bacon" Simultaneous with
this information comes the statement
that Mr.. Roosevelt has reduced his time
limit, and notified the Cubans that their
differences must all be settled by Fn'
day next, the 18th of September. ms
looks to many like Mr. Roosevelt feared
that peace would be restored IN CaOa
before he could in lerfere with his army
and thus peryent his desire to annex
Cuba-under q pretense Mr.. Roosevelt
wants his name to go down in history as
the man who acquired" such rich

the acquisition is accomplished. II looks
now as though "Cuba Libre" will soon
he dream.
