the negro women were conducting
blind tigers. and that they were able
to support entire families on the re.

Rottenness in the Rankin
State Farm,

The report of the Penitentiary
Investigation Committee which
reported on the Oakley farm a
few weeks ago is mild, indeed,
to that brought in by the same
committee in regard to the Ran
kin farm. This report was sub
mitted to the House last Friday,
and shows a condition of affairs
that should make Mississippians
blush for shame that a Warden
should be permitted to retain his
position after permitting such
barbarity to be pracLieed right
under his nose without raising q
hand or voice to bring the guilty
to Justice. It is enough to say
that the facts presented by this
report ought to be conclusive to
any reasonable mind that in the
interest of common humanity,

taken by the Legislature to make

Eeing Blocked.
Mr.. Editor

Mr.. Editor.
I do not like to complain of
anything that might put me in
the class Of Kickers, neither
T do / ike to be a listener to other
peoples troubles. but by your
permission I would like to enter
/. a protest through the columns of
your excellent paper against the
way our sidewalks are being used
since the signs Of spring have
appeared.
All through each day the small
children are constantly monopo-
lizing the walks with wagons,
bicycles, skates, etc., to such an
extent that danger to some lady
or child is always at hand
On one occasion, in particular,
I wish 10 speak of as proof of
this, Last week. as [ was going
to dinner a lady of our city, who
had been to the stores on d shop
ping expedition, was going to
her home directly ahead Of me.
She had her head slightly turned
viewing something in her hand.
Up the street a few small boys
We're indulging in, playing with a
wagon; one Of them gave the
wagon a big start, jumped in
and started down the sidewalk
grade at a rapid rate. As the
lady came close to the boys she
had to jump aside in order TO
keep from being hurt, neither
she or the boys being aware of
what was going on until the
mere escape,
Now, no one. likes to see the
youngsters enjoy themselves in.
the sunshine more than myself
or would be more willing to pro
vide amusement for them yet
there is reason in all things and
I believe the sidewalks should
not be put to the use of a nur-
sery or playhouse. The walks
belong to those who travel. and
should not be blockaded by these
wagons etc, any more than a
public road should with four
mule team.
Attention of parents and city
officials is respectfully called to
this nuisance, which at the
present time is -occasioning much
unfavorable comment. A little
attention along this line viii no
doubt save some one a painful

COMMISSION CHANGE
Book Trust Wears = Smile OF
Content.

A Jackson, Miss, special says
The suspicion is now rife in both
branches or the Legislature that
the school book trust Is very
much elated over the change in
the method of selecting the uni
form school book commission
adopted by the senate and which
requires that three commission
ers be named by the senate, three
by the house and two by the
Mississippi Teachers Associa-
ton.
Color is given to this suspicion
by the fact that several very fa-
miliar faces have made their ap-
pearance in the halls and corri-
dors of the statehouse during the
past past few days, and the per-
son wearing these aforesaid faces
are not especially wrought up
over the aforesaid change. In
fact, they seem TO think that it IS
just the thing.
The new method Of selecting
the school book commission was
proposed by Chairman Hicks Of
the senate committee on a yeter-
an legislator, man Of the high
est character and who has had
many years Of experience in edu-
cational work. II is absolutely
certain that Senator Hicks was
imbued only by a desire to re-
move the school book commits
sion, so far as possible, from the
domain Of politics, and he con-
sistently believes that his amend
ment will accomplish this end.
However, if the school book
trust is delighted with the new
idea the matter is one that VIII
bear watching, especially in view
of the we'll known methods en-
ployed by the trust in influenc-
ing legislation in its behalf.
There is perhaps grounds for the
suspicion that the agents Of the
trust believe they can exert
stronger influence among the
legislators and teachers Of the
State than they could bring to
bear on the governor of the COM
monwealth, especially in view Of
the foregone conclusion that, re-
gardless of whom is elected from
the present field of entries, Miss
issippi will have a governor of
irreproachable character when
the new administration goes into
office.
The entire ssbject is perplex-
inc one and it will doubtless be
given very mature c0nsidera-
ton when the house again takes
up the code chapter on common
schools and the Hicks amend
ment is reached.
The book trust did not get an
even break on the selection of
text books by the commission
last summer. now having q
smaller percentage Of business in
the State than in former years,
and the prospective legislation
in manner of selecting the COM
mission has undoubtedly been
the cause of the present h5a! OF
lobbyists being sent to Jackson.
If Mr.. Sample of Holmes, desires
to accomplish some really effec-
tive and commendable WORK with
his anti Lobbying resolution, now
is the time to patch up the fray
ed ends and get it in good work
ing order again.

CONDITIONS IN CJBA
BealE Fully Describes Events
On the island

/
General Passenger Agent John
M. Beall, Of the Mobile and Ono,
has just returned rom two
weeks trip to Cuba, and he
throws a new light upon tie
quarantine situation, so far Is
| the ports of Mobile. and Havana
are concerned. In speaking Of
the quarantine conditions. Mr..
Beall said yesterday: "One Of
the first things that greeted MY
/ eye upon my. return was. an item
in one of the St. Louis papers 70
the effect that the steamship,
Prince Grorge- which has been
operated between Mobile and
Havana in connection with the
Havana Limited, from St. Louis,
would continue in service indefi-
nitely, but that she would hence
forth be subject to quarantine
delay of indefinite length, and
further, that many st. Louis So
ciety people who are spending
the remainder of the winter on
the islands Of the Gulf will be
unable to return until the restric-
tions are lifted.
So TAR as Cuba IS concerned
this is a mistake, as | am just
in receipt Of a telegram from
DR.. Rhett Goode, president Of
the Quarantine Board, Mobile
Bay, which reads as follows:
No quarantine restrictions
against Cuba than public health
and Marine Hospital regulations,
which require certificates Of
health from all passengers com
ing to Gulf ports.
I hope this will allay the ap-
prehension and disquietude Of
the friends and relatives of the
many tourist who still remain in
Havana. l sailed from there
last Monday night on the Prince
George, and Notwithstanding the
steamer has accommodations for
236 passengers and the hotels of
Havana are still crowded with
American tourists, the ship sailed
with only 104 passengers.
I was in the city OF Havana
for eight days, and if there is a
case of yellow fever there or
anywhere on the island of Cuba,
/ could not hear of it, and there
are hundreds of Americans still
there who show not the slightest
apprehension. Otherwise the
Prince George would have been
crowded to her utmost capacity
on last Mondays S sailing.
Havana looks clean, and, ]
believe, is clean. | am informed
that Surgeon General Wyman
has cabled the Cuban authorities
that so long as the present SAM
tary and health conditions pre-
vail in Havana, no Federal quar-
antine will be inaugurated. I
believe, from DR.. Goodies tela-
gram, that he is of the sane
opinion asssSurgeon-General Wy

With all these rumors of q
prospective rigid quarantine, we
have withdrawn the Havana
Limited for this season, and a-a

Iduce tourists, to go to Cuba now,
