STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK.
Fight Against Montgomery Traction
Company Losing One.

The strike of the employees of the
Montgomery, Ala, Traction company
was settled Thursday and the men
returned to work as non-union men
and at the same wages as they receiy-
ed before the strike.
The strikers lost every point in
the argument General Manager Rag
land of the company, having declared
that he would not treat with the
strikers except as individuals, num-
Der of the men visited his Office and
appealed for work. He reiterated his
statement, but said the company would
give employment to all men who would
sign an affidavit that they were not
members of union and that they
would work on the old scale of wages.
At the close of the day 81 strikers
had signed these affidavits They will
be given employment as fast as room
can be made for them.

An innovation in the way Of trans
portation of freight will be tried
in Coahoma county shortly. The peo-
pie Of Clarksdale have been trying
for some time to build railroad from
that place to F'riars Point on the
Mississippi river for the purpose of
getting advantage of water rates i'll
the transportation of freight. Fail
ing in this, they have raised the
money and will soon inaugurate q
line of freight automobiles 70,
freighting purposes. These machines
are largely used in the great cities
for this purpose and have proven sue
cessful. The experiment at Clarks-
dale will be watched with interest.
1t will undoubtedly result in the
building of good road between these
points which will be a long step in
the right direction if there are 20
other results. But it is likely that
the prime object Of the venture will
be realized also.

Missouri has recently passed la,

Missouri has recently passed law
making an appropriation Of a large
sum Of money for road improvement
along the following lines: The fund
is appropriated among counties desir-
ing better roads and willing to CO.
operate in the movement in proper
ton to the taxable valuation of the
property in the county. Then if fifty
counties signify their willingness to
join the movement, the fund is ap-
propriatsd among them as has been
stated. The county that gets $4,000
must appropriate an equal amount
and the work is done under compe-
tent management so that the best
results will be obtained This seems
to be sensible system of handling
state appropriation. If a county
is interested, and desires state aid,
an equal amount must be furnished by
the county itself before the state
appropriation is available. Such a
plan would no doubt stimulate good
roads interest from the fact that a
county that does not take advantage
of the opportunity to build some
roads must necessarily pay something
toward the building of roads in coun-
ties that do. The Missouri plan is
worthy of consideration to say the
least Of it.

Alcorn has recently fallen into the
column for road improvement. The
contract for roads in the First dis
trict has been let at rate of $36 per
mile for first class and 500 per mile
for second. A machine for building
roads has been purchased and Alcorn
properly comes into her place as
member of the good roads association.
Now that the good work has been
inaugurated, the people should not
become discouraged and want to quit
if success does not come right at the
start. Mistakes will be made, but
correct them and keep kicking. We
need roads worse than anything just
at this time, and must have them at
any reasonable price.

IN support Oh tHe WfFeIn coaseu
ton that the state and county Fairs
are the greatest stimu1ant possible
for agriculture, horticulture and stock
raising, the interest being shown in
Mississippi at present in the new
fairs being organized and old ones
renewed is given as convincing tes-
timony. The people are beginning
now to grow something for exhibit
at these fairs, and their success will
undoubtedly encourage their neigh
bors to try themselves next year. 1T
stimulates good-natured rivalry
that can result in nothing but good.
The thousands who visit the fairs
and see what has been accomplished,
will of course want to know how it
was done and the information thus
gained will be used to an advantage
by them the next season. The fairs
are a great agricultural school in
which young and old alike will learn
valuable lessons that can be put to
practical use.
Interest in the State Fair is great
er than ever before and it now looks
as if more than twice as many will
compete for premiums as ever before.
The grand sweep stakes premiums for
the best diversified farm exhibit,
which is divided into three parts this
season, will be hotly contested for by
several parties who are now arrang-
ing for their exhibit in November.
A Warren county planter writes that
he expects to take this prize and is
going after it in earnest. He says
that he would rather have that gold
medal than $500 in money, and it
is not at all unlikely that he may
be able to wrest it from Copiah coun-
ty that has won it the last two years.
Madison and Holmes counties as well
as Kinds and Copiah are in the con-
test and something good is certain
to be shown at the Fair for indi-
vidual farms. The premiums offered
are as follows:
Best and greatest variety
display of farm products,
any one farm in the states rs 90
Supplemented with a $50
farm wagon and $25 gold
medal.)
Second premium. -. ....... so on
Supplemented with $50
disc harrow.)
Third premium. -. 80. rs %
Best and greatest variety dis
play farm products by a
county or club. ...... 100 90
Second premium. -. .... 50 O0
In addition to the several thousand
dollars offered by the Fair Associa-
ton there are a number of handsome
special premiums offered by firms and
individuals amounting in value to
nearly $4,000. A number of the
county fairs will bring the cream of
their exhibits to the State Fair and
the prospects for a great fair and
large attendance is much better
than ever before. New buildings and
many needed improvements will be
made to accommodate exhibitors and
those who attend.

It is always easy to find items of
interest for this department in the
Aberdeen papers. See this from the
Examiner: "Among the wagons sell
ing produce, ETC., from the country
Saturday, we noticed four loaded
with corn, six with baled hay, two
with baled fodder, five with fodder
in bundles, three with peanuts, five
with split stove wood, four with
sweet potatoes, one with fish, two
with loose hay, two with roofing
boards, one with shingles, one with
live hogs and many partly loaded
with poultry, eggs, hides, peas, pelts,'
wool, butter, vegetables, honey, sor-
ghum, molasses, beeswax and other
country produce" Such conditions
as this can be called ideal. Something
to sell and somebody to sell it to.

The United States authorities in
charge of the boil weevil investiga-
ton Of this section state that the
ravages Of the weeyil will be unus-
ually destructive this year, more so
than on former years. The unusual
ly mild winter has caused the weevil
to come from his alternating period
unusually early and in much greater
numbers than has ever been known.
If this be true, and there is good rea
son to believe it is, we may look for
a considerable falling off IN the pro-
duction Of cotton for 1907-08. Mis-
sissippi will likely be infected with
the weevil ON the lower border before
the season is over, and possibly at
other places on account of the alb
sence Of law to pt.vent its intre,-
duction by shipments of seed, meal
and etc., but it will be two or three
years before they would cover the
state by ordinary migratory means.
Then, if DIR. Hunter is correct in his
predictions for the present year, Mis-
sissippi should raise every bale pos
sible. II the Wevil-infected section
of the cotton belt is cut off in produc-
ton as seriously as is feared, all that
can be raised in other sections will
command handsome price this fall.

are few dead ones in this town,
those who won't let loose of an al

coming in to take it's place. These
kind of people are detriment to

Swink has few business men who
are not SO very busy but what they
could find time to push the matter
along and advertise the town; that
is the only way to make everybody
busy. Now word to some of you
guys who have got glue in your
pockets. The next time a PROPOSE
tion is sprung on you to boost your
town, stick your lily-white nit
down in your jeans, and when you
pull it out let it contain a little of
that metal which makes the world
go round. and look pleasant during
the operation. You can't take it
with you when you shake off this
mortal coil. and even if it shouldn't
do you any good, il will do good for
your children. God hates stingy
man. and so does everybody else.
] oosen up, crawl into the band

boost, and when you go home the
pearly gates will open for you with
a bang that will jar those holding

if you can't loosen up, for heavens
sake hire balloon and sail off, any
