SUGAR CANE SYRUP
UNMARKETABIE.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE fact that
probably nearly all the sugar cane
syrup and molasses output of Louis
lana last fall is u~nmaTketable under
a strict Interpretation of the pure
food, law, is brought out in c%orrespon-
dence made- public here today be-
tween Secretary of Agriculture Will
son and Louisiana sugar dealers. The
dealers pointed out t Mr.. Wilson that
for fifty years sulphur has cen used
in this state in treating cane juice
for Qualification, and that because of
the widely published but
statement last fall that the Depart
ment of agriculture would permit the
use of sulphur to continue, the crop
which is to be marketed in 1907 was
made in the old way. In a few in
stances this product mas already been

take it, the contractors fearing the

PROCESS OF HARDENING
THE PRECIOUS METALS.

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 17.-Mr. Al
fred D. P. Weaver, of this city, sci
enlist and electrician, has in collabo-
ration with John Edward Carney,
while engaged in laboratory expert
ments IN search of a new coherer
material for wireless telegrapny,
made a discovery of widespread sci
e%ntifc, industrial and technical inter-
est. The discovery is the art of hard
ening and tempering precious and
semi-precious metals, such as plati-
mum, gold I the like, without al
Toying them with other metals. The
characteristic results obtained by
Mr.. Weaver's process are enormous
reduction in the fusing point of these
metals and imparting to them a de-
gree of hardness in some instances
that of the best tool
steel when hardened.

Soldiers Are Drawing Gard.


Camp Columbus, with Gov. Varda-
man present, now is popular resort
not only for visitors, but for resi-
dents of the city, and every street car
going toward the camp grounds Is
loaded with passengers. The camp
is connected with the city water mains
and with the light plant, so that IN
addition to plenty of fresh air the
soldiers have an abundance of light
and water. The hour of dress parade
has been changed from $50 to 6
p. m. The evenings are given over
entirely to pleasure, and the soldiers
seem to be greatly enjoying them
selves. The principal crowd goes to
Lake park, which is easily accessible,
being almost within a stones throw
of the camp ground. There is music
each night by the Second regiment
band, and the splendid floor of the
pavilion makes dancing delightful
pastime even in this warm weather.

To Install Tile Factory.

A party of capitalists are visit
ing Natchez fro mChampaign, ILL.,,
for the purpose of installing a tile
factory if the necessary site on one
of the railroads is donated for the
purpose and few other concessions
made by the citizens. The drainage
for the Louisiana swamp cotton plan
tations is becoming popular and its
introduction among the hill planters
in this section will be attempted. A
suitable site was found by the capital
lists on the line of the Little 81"
Railroad on the outskirts Of the city,
with the proper sort of clay. Sever
al towns of North Louisiana are bid
ding for the industry. The entire
plant, if installed, will cost approx
mately $4,000, and give employ
ment to a great number Of skilled
and other laborers.

Would Divorce State Primaries.

One serious defect of the primary
election law has been fully demon
strated, and will be offered for rene
dy at the next legislative session.
A strong public sentiment is being
developed in favor of divorcing the
county primaries from the state pri-
maries, by having local and state con-
tests disposed of on separate dates,
and thus getting rid of the large
amount of swapping among voters SO
freely engaged. In every county in
Mississippi swapping was general,
and this accounts for no small num-
Der of the surprises that resulted
Candidates were nominated who were
not really the choice of the people,
but who obtained votes through in
genious bartering with the friends of
other candidates.

Isl, 100000 pounds of tobaccoHin it's
control. This represents sixty per
cent. of the 1906 crop and eighty-five
per cent. of the 1907 crop. The far
mers who subscribed to the stock
Of the society to enable 1t to carry
the tobacco have been paid for only
one-half of the tobacco they have put
in, and unless the society succeeds
there is bound to be terrible slump.
Prof. j. D. Clark, one Of the lead
ing men in the society, who has Just
returned from the meeting of the
leading tobacco men of the country at
Louisville, says:
First, it is proposed to declare
the tobacco now controlled by the
society off the market, then to organ
ize cooperative stock company for
the manufacture of the tobacco on
hand and it's distribution direct to the
retail merchants. 1t is proposed to
capitalize this company at 100000
600 and erect big manufactures in
the various districts.
Half of the capital stock, of S.
100000, is to be taken by the grow
ers who are members of the society
and paid for in tobacco to their credit
in the pool. The remaining $1,000
600 is to be preferred stock and will
be sold to banks, business men, and
investors who in many sections are
already interested In the movement
and who have demonstrated their
willingness to give the society finan-
cial backing. With the stock thus
placed it would be an easy matter
for the company to issue bonds for
the erection of factory buildings
"a trust agent stated to us only
few days ~ago that the trust. had
enough tobacco to keep it running
for two years, and that the independ-
ent companies had about years sup
ply. With this supply exhausted and
the Equity Society in control of the
market, the trust would have to close
up shop, and the producers. being
their own manufacturers, would
make the twenty cents on every
pound of tobacco sold which now goes
to enrich the trust magnates. This
is in brief the plan which is being
considered by the Equity Society, and
which appears practical"
Trust Made to Pay More. ~
The black hurley people have been
far more successful in organizing
than have the planters of the white
variety. In the dark belt. for. the
last four or five years the trust has
been compelled to give advanced
prices for the weed Many attempts
were made before a successful plan
was found to finance the tobacco as

they met the opposition OF the To-
baoco Trust. and their plans always
miscarried. In the last two years.
however, the county banks have ta-
ken up the paper. and the society has
been able to pay for the tobacco SUBJ
scribed, giving the farmer the mar
ket price. one-half in cash and the
other half in stock in the society,
with the further agreement that he
is to share in the profits realized.

To Establish State Normal School

Prof. J. N. Powers, State Superi1-
tendent Of Education, makes the i'm
portant announcement that he has
secured from both candidates for gov
ernor promise that, if elected, they
will recommend the establishment OF
a state normal and training school
for teachers. This information will
be Of much interest to teachers
throughout the state, who have en-
gagged in campaign of personal soil
citation among candidates for the
legislature asking them to vote for
the appropriation. The Mississippi
Teachers Association desires an ap-
preparation of not less than 100000

Greatly Augmened-Boh Sides Declare Their
Intention to Fight it out--Men Employ
ed on Leased Wires May
be Ordered Out

The strikers are planning to Grip
pie the long distance telephone SER
vice. There are thirty telegraph
operators employed in this branch Of
the service in Chicago. These men
are expert wire men and are used
in making up circuits. The strikers
declare they all belong to the union.
These men have been told to watch
and see if the telegraph companies
are sending messages by long dis
lance telephone that would ordinarily
be sent as kilograms and if so to re-
fuse to allow such messages to be
handled. This means that they will
probably be called out.
Thus far the strike has not reached
the East, being confined to the West
and South. In New York and other
Eastern cities union men acting I'M
der instructions from the chiefs Of
their union, have gone on about their
work as usual and have not refused
no man the wires, the other end Of
which are worked by non-union men.
At an early meeting decision will
be reached as to whether this shall
continue. On the outcome of the
meeting will perhaps depend the en-
tire situation in the East. It is said
that if the New York operators de-
eide to refuse to work with non
union men in the West, the strike
will rapidly spread to the other East
ern cities.
There is a conservative element in
the union which desires to wait until
the last moment before adopting
drastic measures but it is extremely
doubtful if this element will be able
to outweigh the strike sentiment
which is so widespread among the
men.

PARAGRAPHS
REVENUE AGENT TO GO AFTER
DELINQUENTS.
SIXTEENTH SECTION LEASE
Supt. Powers Says Both Candidates
for Governor Have Promised to
Recommend New State Normal and
Training School.
After Tax Delinquents Again.

With the clearing mp Of the politi-
cal atmosphere in the state and the
elimination of certain delicate but
sufficient reasons for lying low by
reason of the several candidates. for
county offices in the state, the
Revenue Agents sleuths will become
active and go after delinquents and
alleged tax dodgers, as well as Off
GERS in charge of funds of various
kinds in order to check them up.
During the campaign, while there
were certain routine lines on which
the State Revenue Agent and his
deputies could work quietly and con-
stantly, such as the research for
solvent credits and the like, the
policy of the Department was to keep
hands off of those counties in which
the officers who might be in line foz
investigation were opposed. Another
department Of research and investi-
CATION which is mapped out for the
future is. the investigation of the
holders Of sixteenth section. leases,
particularly those affected by the
dictum of the Supreme Court, which
held that these lessees could not cut
the timber off wholesale and at will,
thereby impairipg the value of the
lands under the provisions of the
sixteenth section laws and concessions.
This Is big undertaking, but the
Revenue Department has gone
against some just as big and has
come out to the good in almost every
instance, after hard fighting in GER
tain noted cases.
