The Swamp Land Survey.

The Government Survey of
Trim Cane and By Wy bottoms
by the u. S. Drainage Experts
has been completed. The Engi-
neers left some days ago, after
finishing their field work OF
taking levels across the swamps,
locating the channel and ascer-
tanning the fall. They will pre-
pare maps. protiles and estimate.
which will be forwarded to
Washington and later on returned
to Starkville. This report will
be returned to the Chancery
Clerk and will be part OF the
county records. It will hence
be of great value to all swamp
land owners in the county as we'll
as to those in the district sur
veyed, since it will serve as a
model for any other district that
may be organized, showing the
complete methods of the govern
ment In making a survey OF this
kind. Such enterprises. lnvolv-
ing considerable cost, necessarily
move slowly, but there is no
doubt as to the ultimate outcome.
These bottom lands will be
drained and put in cultivation,
and much sooner than most peo-
pie expect. There was never
such an enterprise set on foot
that did not meet with some OBJ
jections and criticisms from those
of a pessimistic turn. Such OBJ
structions, like the big stumps
and roots along the right-of- way,
must invariably oe grubbed up
and set aside. We see no reason
to doubt the early consumation
of this project, and with one
district completed, others will
speedily follow. Within a few
years we will begin to wonder
such work was not begun on a
large scale decades ago.

KNIGHTs AND LADIES OF HONOR.

Last Tuesday night was the
regular meeting night and sever
al members initiated to the de.
light of the mem bers present and
the initiates. The lodge meets
in the magnificent hall of the
Odd Fellows, but it is entirely
too small for the K. & L. of II.
There was splendid gathering
of the members, we believe more
females than males. This lodge
has a right to feel proud of it's
membership and it's achievements.
1t is taking in new members at
every meeting and will soon go
over the 200 mark. It is much
easier for a new member to get a
new member than one should i'm
agin. The initiation was fine and
after the close of the lodge a
most sumptious repast was provi-
ded by one half of the members
to the other half. Victors in a
most laudable contes. 1t was a
most pleasant social feature of
the order and enjoyed by all. We
expect great things from the
members Of this order especially
from its female members. Who
knows but what the lodge here
will within the next few years
own the finest temple within the
town 1t can be accomplished
and we hope to live to see the
day of realization of our sugges-
ton. Ii the ladies enlist in the
cause it will be a living fact.
Now is the time for every one to
join the order as the initiation
fee is suspended under the class
system. 1t gives protection and
death certificate to those de-
pendent on you, and the social
features are unexcelled by any
order Or society. We are glad to
see so many young people join.
the responsibilities will soon rest
entirely upon them. Very few
of the charter members are alive
and the most of them are beyond
the line of activity. We hope the
interest now being manifested
will continue and no doubt it will.

An officer who does his duties
without fear Or favor is heralded

Everybody wonders how long he

Narrow the question to our own
state. On various occasions Gov
Vardaman has felt it necessary
to issue appeals for the inforce
ment of the law. Several Judges
have issued similar appeals III
their districts. Grand jurries adj
nit their inability to secure evi-
dence against gambling and other
violations of the law.
Our people are becoming ac
customed to lawbreaking. They
are forgetting that a law abiding

and security.
