PETITION FOR
DRAINAGE DISTRICT.
LeflOre County Property Owners De,
eide to Take Advantage of the
Acorn Law.

Chancellor Garland Lyell, Of this dis
trtct, today received a petition fomr citi-
aons Of Lcflore County who desire to or
ganize as drainage district under the pro.
visionsof the Aicorn district drainage
law, passed at the last legislative session,
and the list of September has been APP
pointed for the hearing, to take place at
Greenwood.
The petition was referred to Chancel-
lor Lyell owing to the fact that Chan
cellor Percy Bell, of Seventh district, in
whose jurisdiction Leiore county is To-
Gated, is absent from the State and Chan
celIor Lyell is looking after all matters
coming up in vacation in that district.
This is the first movement launched
for the organization of a drainage dis
trict since the Aloorn law was passed,
but it is believed to be only a question
of a few months until owners of swamp
and overlooked lands in the delta
will realize the Importance of the law,
and the organization of districts will
become general, thus reclaiming thous,
ands of acres of fertile lands now unfit
for cultivation. All of the proceedings
incident to the organization of drainage
districts are under the supervision of
the Chancellor. Jackson News, II inst.

CARROLL COUNTY MAN
ON COMMIT TEE
That Made Out the Government Re
port on Condition of Cotton Crop.

A great deal has been said about tn,
unreiiability Of the crop condition re
ports issued by the Crop Reporting
Board Of the Bureau of Statistics Of tho
| Department Of Agriculture at Washing,
ton.
Some have gone so far as to charge
that these reports were made out by
persons who had no knowledge Of cotton
Or cotton culture, and that they are doc,
tored to suit the spectators.
The fact that such men as Mr. f. NJ,
Hemphill, a substantial and honorable
citizen and planter Of Carroll county,
Miss, and Gen. James II. Lane, one OF
AIabama's leading cotton producers and
prominent citizens, are members of the
Crop Reporting Board Is evidence con
elusive that nothing crooked would be
PERMITTED in the making out Of its re-
ports.
Mr.. Hcmphill is statistician for Mis-
sissippi, he is endeayoring to aid the
government in its efforts to publish all
the facts about the cotton crop and it
is the duty Of all who may be called up
on to furnish data TO send in accurate
reports to Mr.. Olmsted, Chief Of the
Bureau of Statistics.
Mr.. llemphill has been furnishing
theI Department crop statistics for
several years in such an efficient manne
that he was recently promoted to the
position Of State statistician, which is an
honor deseryediy bestowed.
Below we publish the last report
made by the Board:
