Preliminary
Steps Taken
Citizens Meeting Held Last
Evening

Last evening at the rooms of the
Ploche Chamber of Commerce q
rnnatiser ----.~ 1.~Id &c. 1l.ss--Kyrsr-
pose of learning the sentiment
OF the people as to whether of
not we shall have town govern
ment. A goodly representation
of the taxpayers were present.
M. l.. Lee was elected perman-
ent chairman and VIM. E. Orr.
secretary. A presentation of the
law, conditions and procedure
was made by Judge John M.
Breeze, after which general
discussion was indulged in. all
being in favor of petitioning for
town government; and as a re-
suit, a committee consisting Of
three were appointed to circulate
the petition and secure the re-
qulred number, to present the
same to Board of County Com
mssloners for consideration.
The committee is composed of
Chas. A. Thompson, VIM. E.
Orr and S. H. Babbitt.
There seems to be SUPPOSE
ton prevelant that it is an in
corporation that is being asked
for. This mistake. We could
not for one moment support any
move in this direction. But it
does appear that it would be an
act of foolishness not take adj
vantage of the town ordinance
proposition. It doesn't necessar-
lily mean the excess of one dol
lar in taxation. The revenue
derived from gaming licenses
alone seem sufficient to meet all
needs and we can be conserya-
tive in asking for the ordinances
wanted. The only regulation
needed is fire, sanitary and DO
ice protection and the statement
'an be made, without fear of
contradiction, that there is not
citizen of the town who have
t's interest at stake, who would
lot so state.

EXCLUDE THE HOGS

In the drafting of town ordi.
nances one of the first and most
important objects that the com.
mittee with this in charge should
look after, is the regulating OF
hog pens within the town. This
IS a positive nuisance, as well as
endangering the health of the
entire community. No matter
how careful the owners may be,
1T is impossible to keep pens in
which are from twenty to thirty
hogs, in anything near a sani-
tary condition. In this warm
weather the stencil from China
Town reaches the residences
along Lacour street and is at
times, something fearful. It is
the right and duty of citizens to
leglslate for the common good.
and the claims of an individual
should not stand where the
health of a community is at
stake. If we are to progress as
we should, we must offer induce
ments for settlement.
The healthfulness of a town
is always taken into considera-
ton by prospective residents and
the fact that Pioche harbors,

Commissioners
To Take Action

| Al the August meeting of the
board OF county commissioners,
the question of the refunding OF
the county Indebtedness will
come up for definite action. The
board has been pursuing a wise
course, in that they have taken
plenty of time in which to con-
slder the bill; absolutely refusing
to act until thoroughly conver-
sant with every detail of the
measure. They are making a
study of it and are getting the
opinions of able legal talent be-
fore acting. This is by far the
greatest question that has come
before the board of county COM
missioners in many a year. They
should embrace every opportun-
lty for the county's benefit.
working to the interest of every
taxpayer so far as possible. And
every taxpayer of any moment
should give an expression as to
their views on the matter. Com
munications have been received
by the board from some of the
larger taxpayers and in every
instance they favor the refund
ing of the measure as prescribed
by the law.
1t seems tous that the best op-
portunity is offered in this meas
ure that will ever be offered.
The county is in such a condi-
ton that it can well afford toI
begin the payment. of the debt |
that has so long been hanging
over our heads, and that has be- |
come such a burden. Under the
provisions of the refunding
measure for the payment, it will

An old German had a boy of
whom he was very proud, and
he decided to find out the trend
of his mind. He adopted a nov
Ell method by which to test him.
He slipped into the boys room
one morning and placed on his
table a bottle of whiskey, a Bible
and a silver dollar. Now"
said he, when dot boy comes in
if he takes dot dollar he is going
to be a beeznis man; if he takes
dot Bible he is going to be a
preacher; but if he takes dot
whiskey he is no good and is 60
ing to be a drukard." Then he
hid behind the door to see which
his son would choose. In came
the boy, whistling. He ran up
to the table, picked up the BIZ
BILE and put it under his arm,
then snatched up the bottle Of
whiskey, took two or three
drinks, picked up the dollar and
put it in his pocket, and went
out smacking his lips. The
Dutchman poked his head from
behind the door and exclaimed,

Should Stay on the Farm.

In addressing the Michigan
Agricultural College students a
few weeks ago the president in
sisted that the farm be made
more attractive so that the boys
would stay there instead of 60
ing to the city, and he said that
the hired man must be employed
all the year round, for he could
not be expected to stay in the
country if there was no work for
him only in summer. But what
is the hired man to do during
six or eight months of the year?
The farmer and his boys oan do
all the work there is to do, and
if the farmer should hire his
man by the year he would feel
even poorer than he does now.
1t is the fact that the farm fur
nishes remunerative employment
during only a part of the year,
while places of employment in
the town are running ffty-two
weeks in the year, that accounts
for the urban movement Of pop
ulation. There is nothing new
in this movement except the dis
cussion of it. Every national
census from the very first to
that of 1900 shows an increased
percentage Of population living
in cities. Nor is this movement
peculiar to this country. 1t is
going on in the British Islands,
in France and notably in Germa-
ny. Nature produces but one
harvest a year, while the wheels
of industry turn all the time, and
there you have the explanation.
New York is shocked to be told
by agents Of department of agri-
culture that her farm lands have
been abandoned through no fault
of the soil and population Of the
more remote country districts
has in many instances decreased
40 to 80 per cent. The. sons go
to town, and when the old peo-
pie die the farm is left to itself.
The department proposes to
send lecturers through the coun
try to explain to the farmers,
and especially to their children,
how more money can be made
out Of the farm. That will stop
the downward march Of popula-
ton, but nothing else WILL

Died in Harness.

A few days since the Rev. Boze-
man, Of Meridian, died while
holding services at Polkville,
Smith county. During the course
of his sermon Mr.. Bohemian felt
the hand of death had been la1'
upon him, and he so informed his
congregation. Approaching the
fact that the end was near and
that he had come to the parting
of the ways, Mr.. Bozeman told
his congregation that he must
hasten on, that he did not have
time to elucidate and comment on
the points he was making as he
would like to do, time being
short. He told them he would
die before he could finish his SER
mon, and sre enough in a few
minutes he fell across his pulpit.
Tender hands lifted the old
man and carried him to the open
air, where he died in a few mo-
ments. Death had no terrors for
him. He had lived an honorable,
upright life, and was ready and
willing to go when the summons

Williams VIII Net Ask fer
Reelection.

Although he could complete
two terms in The lower mouse Vi
congress before the beginning of
his senatorial term, Congress-
man John Sharp Williams will
not ask for reelection from this
district.
! Announcement to this effect
was made by Mr.. Williams prior
to the beginning of the senatorial
contest, and hi. reiterates his de-
lcision. Under no circumstances
would he again accept nomlna-
ton at the hands of the Demo-
cratic party of the eighth district.
Senator Moneys term expires
on March 4, 1911, and on that
date MI. Williams will take his
seat. The present term of Mr..
Williams will end on March A,
1909, and he will then return to
private life for a period of two
years, devoting the time to his
personal business interests, which
has been somewhat neglected
during the fourteen years of con-
tinuous service in public life.
This is the determination of the
senator-elect, and is not likely to
be altered. Already much talk
is being INDUCED in concerning
his successor, and a goodly
amount of eligible material is be-
ing suggested. Among those
mentioned are Hon. G. w. George,
of this city; Hon. C. H. Williams,
brother of Congressman Will
liams; Hon. R. H. Henry, editor
of the Clarion-L Ledger; Hone. M,
Williamson, of the Jackson bar
Hon. Pat Henry, of Vicksburg,
and a number of others. The
eighth district is composed OF
counties Yazoo, Kinds, Marion,
Warren and Rankin, all of which
gave Mr. Williams good MAORI
ties in the recent senatorial race,
and his personal influence in the
case, if he should care to use it,
would have a great deal to do
with naming his successor. :

The Surplus and the Crops.
lSt Louis Repubi;e.l

1t is altogether proper that
thus early in the crop-moving
season Secretary Cortelyou
should begin literally depositing
surplus Treasury funds in the
national banks, upon approved
securities. From now until
about February all the money in
the country is hardly more than
will be needed in circulation. A
great hoard in the treasury at
this season would be a constant
source of trouble.
The wheat, the corn and the
cotton must be paid for, farmers
must now begin settling their
accounts with merchants and the
merchants must at this time lay
in new stocks of goods. Until
the rush of this business is over
| every dollar must move nimbly,
and the more dollars there are,
the more freely the movement
will go on.
But it ought not to be necessa-
ry for the Treasury to put so
much money into the banks as it
has done and will have to do in
order ia prevent stringency in
the money market. There ought
not to be in the Treasury, or to
it's credit in the banks, $2000,-
600, 900 more than will be requir-
ed to pay all the expenses of the
Government for the fiscal year
after the monthly collections are
added. And there would not be
this enormous excess but for the
reckless and extravagant taxa
ton imposed by the Republican
party upon the people of the
United States.
In order to tighten the hold of
monopoly upon the country's
commerce and industry the rob-
berries of the Dingley tariff have
been prolonged against strong
popular protest, and the customs
revenue pours money into the
Treasury which cannot be kept
there without causing a panic.
Mr.. Ellis H. Roberts, formerly
Treasurer or the United States,
whom The Republic has quoted
on previous occasions, estimates
that at the end of the current
fiscal year the surplus money ia
ken wantonly and without ex-
cuse from the pockets of the peo-
Pile will amount to- $500. 600, 900.
1t is a fund for which the Coy
eminent has no earthly use, a
standing temptation to coorup-
ton and extravaganza.
The Democratic party does not
mean to overlook this outrage in
next years political contest. But
while it exists there is no option
but to keep as much of the mo
ney in circulation through the
banks as may be needed to do
the c~ountry's business at this
pressing season of the year. And
the banks which ought to have
the preference in making the
deposits are those nearest to the
centers of the crop production.
Mr.. Gortelyou speaks of de-
posits in the banks of New York,
Boston and other cities. 1t would
have been better if he had made
first mention of the banks of ST
Louis and Chicago and included
New York and Boston among the
"other cities" Since nine
tenths or more of the crops to be
moved are in the financial terri
tory Of st Louis, Chicago and
New Orleans, the crop movement
would 60 more smoothly if it
were financed directly from
these and adjacent cities.

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and hue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called fue cured.
In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of fame heated hues, which
brings out in the tobacco that

expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer

The quality of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex-
pert tests prove that this aue cured

MONTHLY FIRE REPORT
 SHOWS EFFECTIVE WORK
With a Total Value of Over &2OO,OOO at Risk, the Total Losses Amounted
 to But $S,424.02.

The ire report for the month of June has been completed by Captain Griffith, and shows total loss by fire in Mont gomery for the past month to have been $S,224.06.
 The principal fire of the month was that of the Morris Wolff Furniture Company on Commerce Street, entail ing a loss of $4.343, about one-third of the estimate made at the time of the fire.
 The detailed report is as follows:
 Number of runs. IS; box alarms 3; alarms by telephone, Is.
 Character of buildings involved, one three-story brick building. three two story frame buildings.
 There was one call for burning debris, and one call outside of the city limits, that of the Virginia Carolina Chemical Company.
 The value of the buildings at risk was. $65.250, and the value of the con- tents at risk in the buildings. s140.050. The loss on buildings was $3,226.0S; in surance on buildings. $42.5O0; insur- ance on buildings, $3,206.0s. Loss on contents. $5,19S.54. insurance on con- tents. $105,050. Insurance paid on contents. $5,19S54. Loss over insur- ance. $20.
 This report shows that the fire de- partment of Montgomery has been re- spending quickly to alarms and has been doing effective work after they have reached the scene of the fire.
