FRUIT HIGH IN PRICE
ORANGES, APPLES AND BANANAS
ARE HIGHER THAN EVER
BEFORE

A young lady who receives a has.
ket OF fruit from her beau, will
certainly appreciate 1t these days,
when sue considers the price that
the young fellow had to pay for
the fruit. Everything In the fruit
line has gone skyward in prices,
and where formerly a beau could
send his lady love a dozen oranges
at a cost of about a half a dollar,
he will have to pay the sun of IN
dollar for the same fruit. and then
there Is some doubt as to whether
he can secure the oranges or not.
Not only is this the case with the
orange market, but for apples that
he could have bought at twenty.
five cents per dozen last fall, he
will have to pay forty cents per
dozen at this time; and yet this
is not all. grapes are selling al
most proportionately as high. and
! luscious nuts also. Pecans are worth
! good money this year and farmers
will do a wise thing IL they gather
all oil them possible and bring them
in for sale.
The orange crop of California and
Mexico is short, and the first or
anges have Just commenced to come
in and the short supply that has
been received by the locai fruit
dealers will not last for a great
length &c time, and It will be about
the middle OF November before 9th.
ers will oome in. The price Of the
fruit has gone up and this coupled
with the smaller number that Is
usually packed in the box bringse
the price to the consumer higher.
The apple crop OF Colorado is short
this season and while the quality
is good the price is high.
Bananas, which have been selling
at reasonable figures. have also gone
up In price and the bananas that you
up in price and the banann that you
could have bought a month &
at from fifteen to twenty cents
per dozen Is selling at from twenty.
five TO forty cents per dozen.

MAIL ORDER METHODS.

The most effective method of keeping
the big mail order concerns out of the
legitimate trade territory Of the home
merchants is pointed out to them by the
editor of the Holly Springs South. He
says: "It is time the local merchants
of every town realized the fact that the
best way to work against the catalogue
and mail order is to advertise in their
county papers. Advertise persistently;
put in something every week. De not
be afraid to put the price opposite your
goods. No catalogue would ever bring
any trade to the house sending it out,
if the price was not given for each arti-
Gle described. We do not believe that
the merchants of Holly Springs hall
realize the volume of trade that goes
from this county every year to the mail
order houses. The largest part of this
trade rightfully belongs in our town and
county, and we also believe that, by
judicious and persistent advertising,
always remembering to give some of our
most attractive prices, a great deal of it
could be kept at home. Every dollar
kept at home adds to the general pros
perity and increases the value of the
property of each individual citizen OF
the county.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
Penalties for Violating the Law Gsveraias Them.

AS the time for the primaries is now
approaching, and as the law is very
strict in regard to offering to influence
votes, both on the part of the candidate
and voter, it might be of interest to the
public to know just what the law is.
The following paragraphs from the code
of 1906 are reproduced, and it would be
well for all to read them:
Section 1060-Receiving or offering
rewards to electors or election officers.
If any elector, manager, clerk or can
vasser at any election, or any executive
officer attending the same, shall receive
any gift, reward or promise thereof, or
if any person shall offer to make any
such gift, reward or promise thereof,
influence any elector, clerk. canvasser,
or any executive officer attending any
election in his vote, opinion, action, or
Judgment in relation to such election,
the person so offending shall, on con-
viction thereof, be imprisoned in the
penitentiary not more than two years,
or in county Jail not more than one
year, or be fined ST 900, or both.
Section 1861. If any person shall
offer to give a reward to another for the
purpose of inducing him, by any unlaw-
full means not amounting to bribery, to
procure any person to vote at any elcc-
tion for or against any person, the per-
son so giving or offering such reward
shall, upon conviction thereof, be i'm
prisoned in the county Jail not more
| than one year, or be fined not more than
$500, or both.
Section 1862. Whoever shall procure,
or endeavor to procure, the vote of any
elector, or the influence of any person
over other electors, at any election, for
himself or any candidate, by means Of
violence, threats of violence, or threats
of Withdrawing custom, or dealing in
business or trade, or enforcing the pay
ment of debt, or bringing suit or Grim
inal prosecution, or by any other threat
or injury to be inflicted by him, or by
his means, shall, upon conviction, be
punished by Imprisonment in the county
jail not more than one year, or by fine
of 81 900, or both.
Section 37t9 also provides that it shall
be unlawful for any person to sell or
offer to sell his vote or influence, directly
or indirectly, or to receive pay for his
time or expense in canvassing to con-
tribute to the success or defeat of any
candidate or measure voted upon in the
primary election, and it shall likewise
be unlawful for any person to offer
money or anything of value to anyone
for his vote or influence or for his ser
vices in canvassing for or against any
candidate or measure voted on in the
primary election. Anyone offending
against this section shall be fined not
less than $50, nor more than $500. or
imprisoned not more than six months,
or both,

|. & N. R. R. CASE UP FOR
CONSIDERATION BEFORE |
THE SUPREME COURT.


A press telegram from Jackson says
that the hearing of the injunction pro-
ceedings instituted by the Louisville &
Nashville road to prevent the enforce
ment of the two-cent interchangeable
mileage issued by the Mississippi rail-
road commission will not take place un-
til the August term Of Federal Court at
Biloxi, and, as there is some likelihood
that Judge Niles may pretermit the BIZ
loxi term, the matter may go over until
a later date, unless the attorneys ar
range for hearing in vacation.
Aside from the legal principles in
volved, and they have been previously
passed upon by courts in other States,
the disposal of the injunction is not a
matter of great public Importance, for
two-cent interchangeable mileage has
been established on all roads to which
the order was applicable except the L.
& NJ, and that road operates only IA
miles of road in the State.
Passenger traffic officials take it for
granted that the next legislative session
will enact law providing fiat rate of
two cents per mile, and it is not believed
that they will wage vigorous fight
against the bill, owing to the general
trend of public sentiment on the subject.

HARRISON COUNTY SUPERVISORS
Are n . Quaadary as to How to Settle Mort
gage Prsblen.

When the Board of Supervisors Of
Harrison county met in Gulfport this
week the members found one or two
knotty problems NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
According to all accounts there is at
least one which is still waiting. This
is the apparently simple question of
how mortgage shall be foreclosed when
the trustee refuses to act and no willing
substitute is to be found ? It appears
that the mortgagee is of feminine gender
and is averse to letting mere man dis
possess her Of her property. No officer
can be found who will consent to take
the whole authority for the act, it seems,
so the board is apparently playing in
hard luck, as it is clearly "up to- that
body to say what must be done. An
other matter that is giving the board
some trouble is the bill for travelling
expenses of the sheriff while on trip
to some distant part of the county for
the purpose of killing a horse afflicted
with glanders. The law orders that all
animals affected with the disease be at
once killed by the sheriff, and allows
fee of 81 for each animal so slain, but
the great distances of Harrison county
were not considered and no provision
was made for the necessary travelling
expenses of the officer. A bill for such
expense was refused by the board hold
ing that the body had no authority to
make other appropriations than those
prescribed by law. The board appointed
a committee to go over the proposed
route of the Beach Shell Road and re-
port on same at the next meeting. In
the meanwhile work is going forward on
the road toward Pass Christian, and
it is expected that work will be begun
on the beach toward Biloxi some time in
August.

MRS. BlRDSONC'S CASE.

Gulfport Daily Record.
The Birdsong hearing, which was to
have taken place before Gov. Vardaman
last Monday was postponed to next
Monday, at the request of the petition
ers against the convicted woman.
Those who have been reading the
criticisms directed against the Governor
for intimating that be would pardon
Mrs. Birdsong, were not a little sur
prised at this action, as they had been
led to believe that mountains OF evil
dence had been accumulated to show
why the unfortunate woman should not
be pardoned.
We are not familiar with the circum-
stances surrounding the case, but unless
they are of an extraordinary character,
Mrs. Birdsong is entitled to all the SYM
patny and clemency usually extended
to unfortunates such as she.
At any rate, the attempt to injure the
Governor politically because of his al
legged disposition to pardon Mrs. Bird
song is puerile and unworthy OF any
creature who walks upright under the
guise of man The Record is no defen-
der of Govern. or Vardaman, but it does
not like to see an official abused just for
the sake of abuse. Doubtless the Gov
ernor would have been gladder if this
case had not come before him at this
time, but, as it has, we are glad to OBJ
serve that he has the manhood to treat
it in decisive way, regardless OF re-
suits.
The Governor may be criticized for
pardoning Mrs. Birdsong and it may
lose him Lincoln county, but we sup
pose that the consciousness OF having
done that which most men would do un-
der the same circumstances will more
than repay him.

CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE
COMPANY TURNED DOWN
BY THE STATE.


The Mississippi railroad commission.
by unanimous vote, has fatty refused
to grant permission to the Cumberland
Telephone & Telegraph Company to
advance it's night rates to the same
basis as day rates for long distance sery-
ice.
1t was not expected that the Cumber-
land petition would be brought up at
this meeting, but several other matters
in which the corporation is involved
were called and the commission decided
to clear the calendar. The officials OF
the Cumberland were politely but firmly
told that Mississippi would not stand
for any "gouging," and instead OF per-
mitting an advance of rates it is more
than likely that sweeping reductions
will be ordered when the body takes up
the matter of revising tariffs charged
at the various exchanges in this State.
The Cumberland put up "poor
mouth, claiming that Mississippi has
been money-losing proposition; that
all of tae earnings have been put into
equipment, and, owing to the high price
of construction material, there has been
an actual loss on business in this State
in recent years. In view of the fact,
however, that the Cumberland is indus
triously trying to get more business in
the State by gobbllpg up Independent
exchanges, the commission couldn't see
it that way, and the members frankly
state that this is one corporation that
must be held under tight rein in order
to keep it under control.

ADDITIONAL SUITS WILL
BE FILED AGAINST 10TH
SECTION LESSEES.
State Revenue Agent Writ Adams Has Entered
Upon Campaign of the Most Vigorous
Prosecution Wherein He is Determined to
Collect Damages from all Tresspassers Upon
"Sixteenth Section Timbered Lands.

Attorneys representing State Revenue
Agent Writ Adams are preparing addl-
tional suits to be tried in the piney woods
counties against holders of leases on
sixteenth section lands who have re-
m owed timber therefrom, the actions
being based on the decision of the Su-
preme Court, holding that such leases
donot convey the right to remove timber.
1t is estimated that the timber removed
from sixteenth section lands in recent
years by lessees is valued at not less
than $2,0OO,0O0 and the revenue agent
has his deputies at work endeavoriDg
to establish the extent of timber cutting,
this information to be made the basis OF
suits,
The claims will of course be based on
the market value of timber at time OF
removal, and not present values, but
timber values have increased from about
$3.50 to $40 and $50 per acre within
recent years, and the lesses will be hard
hit by these actions. The revenue agent
is barred from filing these claims against
nonresident lessees until the Federal
branch of the sixteenth section litigation
is disposed OF, but Mr.. Adams and his
corps of deputies and attorneys will have
their hands full for several months per
fecting claims against resident lessees.
The collection made will go to the school
funds in counties where sixteenth Sec
tion lands are located.
Suits will be filed in Perry Lamar,
Harrison and other South Mississippi
counties

HON. GEORGE R. EDWARDS, JR.

His many friends in Attala county
view with pride and pleasure the hearty
reception the candidacy of George r..
Edwards, Jr., for State Treasurer is
meeting and the strong support it is
enlisting from the press and people OF
Mississippi.
Like most men of large capacity and
merit he is modest, and not given to
extolling his own virtues, but his friends
feel that you rarely ever find probity,
ability more carefully blended in human
character than in Mr.. Edwards "make
up".
Mr.. Edwards is not a president OF a
bank, but he possesses the financial
ability to correctly count and safely
keep the states funds, the skillful judg-
ment and prudence to safeguard the
same and direct its disbursements in
the proper and legal channels. He is in
close touch with the masses, with whom
his sympathies and interests lie, and is
now the secretary of the local Farmers
Union at McCool. While he is, as the
esteemed Winona Times says of him,
ssas safe as the rock of Gibraltar" he
is more; he possesses knowledge OF
affairs, an executive ability and a re-
sourceful mind, which is often required
to efficiently and successfully discharge
the duties of this Office, the least OF
which is to safely keep the money and
pay it out upon warrants.
Let Attala county give him practi-
cally unanimous support. He deserves
it-Kosciusko Herald.

According to Secretary w. J. Brown
of the Penitentiary Board of Trustees
the Mississippi Penitentiary, on the 9th
of last month, contained 1879 convicts
of whom I20 were white and the rest
negroes. Two of the white convicts
