Gets New Baptist College.

The committee appointed by the
General Baptist association to deci lie
on the location of the Clarke Mem
orial college met at Bay Springs to
decide on the site, and Newton was
unanimously chosen. There were half
a dozen towns bidding for the prize,
but Newton's offer was nearly double
that made by any other place, and
being the most accessible point for a
school of this kind, after the matter
was settled everyone admitted that
this was the proper place for it. AT
a recent meeting of the General Bap-
aist association, it was decided that an
educational institution of this kind
was badly needed in East Mississippi,
and resolution was passed that one
be established in the bounds of this
association, to be under the supervis-
ion of this organization, and various
committees were appointed to take
steps for carrying out the work. The
resolution provided that the town
which could offer the greatest induce
ments for the college, all things con-
sidered, for the welfare of the school,
would be given the college.

The Hammond Dickey, criminal as
sault case is coming before Gov. Var
daman for review in the shape of q
petition asking, that pardon be
granted to the prisoner.
Dickey is the first white man who
was ever sentenced to the penitentia-
ry for life for criminal assault on
negro. He was tried and convicted
in the Circuit Court of Coahoma coun
ty in 1904, and the sentence after
wards affirmed by the supreme court,
with some very terse comments on the
subject.
Dickey's attorney in the pardon APP
peal is Hon. Earle Brewer, former
candidate for governor, who has re-
turned to private practice since the
election, and it is somewhat of COIN
cidence that Mr.. Brewer is also large
ly responsible for Dickey's sentence
having been the district attorney az
that time, and conducted the prOsecu-
ton. Many of the leading citizens
of Cohoama county have signed the
petition, among them being Major La
mar Fontaine, Hon. d. A. Scott, Sher-
iff NJ. ]. Bouldin, Hon. w. A. Aleoru,
Jr., Hon. ]. W. Cutrer, and others.

To Annul Trains.

Mr.. S. d. Boylston, general pas
senger agent of the Gulf & Ship Is
land road, announces that, effective
on Sunday, Dec. l, the road will dis
continue trains Nos. 100 and ITO be
tween Jackson and Columbia. These
are the trains for which the jackson
board of trade made a persistent
clamor, finally inducing the company
to put them in service. The passen-
ger departmnt of the road claims that
both trains are bling oprated at loss,
and this is the only reason for lis
continuance. On yesterday the IL
linois Central announced its intention
of abandoning No. "a, the south-bound
local train leaving here at 4 80 p. m,
also stating that the traffic is not suf-
ficent to justify its continuance. A
special meeting of the Jackson board
Of trade will be held on Saturday at
which it is expected that a protest
against the abandonment of the three
trains will be framed and presented
to the railroad commission.

A VERY CRAVE OVERSIGHT
Has Been Discovered Regarding the
Filing of Charters of New Corpor-

yelled at Brandon.

j. B. Eastman, well-known young
man of Meridian, prominent in social
circles, and belonging to one of the
best known families in the state wGs
arrested on the charge of cruel and
inhuman treatment of his wife, for
merly Miss Madge Stone, adopted
daughter of the late Ex-Governor John
NJ. Stone. The arrest was made by
Officer Van Hand, of the police force.
while Eastland was aboard an out
going passenger train. Mrs. East
land was also on the same train, en-
route to Henderson, Tenn, to visit re-
latives, and it was prusemely East
land s intention to make her abandon
her journey. The warrent against
Eastland was sworn out by Col. Fl.
M. Street, member-elect of the legis-
lature, who has taken kindly inter-
est in Mrs. Eastland, and it was due
to him that she went for protection
after being cruelty Wiped and beaten
by her husband. When taken to the
police station and searched, large
gun was found in Eastland's pocke..
1t is evident that he had just pur-
chased the weapon, for the price tag
had not been removed, and it is be-
lieved by the police that he intended
to kill his wife. Mrs. Eastland had
been at Col, H. NJ Streets residence
several days, having gone to him and
told the story of how she had been
treated, and when she decided to go
to Henderson, Tenn, Col. Street took
the precaution of having warrent
sworn out for Eastland's arrest, be-
lieving that the husband would at
tempt some violent act, and it is
doubtless. we'll that he did so. A few
hours after his arrest Eastland gave
bond and was released. Mrs East
land left on the night train for Ten
nessee, and the officers there have
been wird to see that she is properly
protected in case the husband puss
in his appearance. Eastland was
married to Miss Stone about six years
ago, and their married life has been
very unhappy.

An oversight in the matter of per-
fecting charters of incorporation,
which seems to be very general err
TOR of omission, and which also seems
to be possibly a fatal error, has been
uncovered recently by investigation
of the records in several counties.
The law regulating the matter IN
which corporations shall be created
and defining their powers and duties
provides in one section that all char
tiers granted under the statute must
be recorded in the office of the Sec
retarv of State, and In the Office Of
the chancery clerk of. the county In
which the corporation is to be doml-
ciled. This provision is very emphat-
ic and explicit. In the case OF the
Secretary of states office the char
tiers are of course always placed on
record there as they are not mailed
out until they are so recorded by the
Secretary of State, who keeps them
ON file. But in the case of the chan
Gerry clerk s office, it seems that some
two-thirds or more of the charters
granted and recorded by the Secre-
tary of State, are never placed on rec
ord in the counties where the concerns
are domiciled.

In the manufacture of electrical APP

work done by contract the increase
was 81 per cent; in iron and steel,
/ Bessemer converting, So per cent,
and In the manufacture of cigars, 8. 4
per cent. In the manufacture of bar
iron the Increase In wages per hour
was SO per cent and in the building
trades 81 per cent. Briefly stated,
two industries showed an increase
in hourly wages of more than 10 per
| cent, Z industries an increase of 8
per cent but less than 10 per cent,
and 81 industries an increase of less
than . per cent. In one industry
paper and wood pulp-there was a
decrease of IL per cent. In the in
dustries as a whole, weighted accord

hourly wages was AS per cent.
The fact should be borne in mind
that these figures apply only to
wageworkers in manufacturing and

WAGES AND THE PRICE Of FOOD.

The purchasing power of income is
a subject to which the attention OF
almost every family has been drawn
in recent years. Each man has to
settle the problem for himself. but 1t
is nevertheless of Importance to all
that the Department of Commerce
and Labor keeps u very complete sta
tlstlcal record from year to year of
the relative advance or decline OF
wages and the price of food.
In making this record the wage
Garner is given the first place. That
Is, the professional man whose salary
remains the same regardless of the
advance or decline Of the purchasing
power of his money NTH retail mar
ket, has to figure GUS the situation
for himself. Just at the present time
when retail prices are advanced, the
man ON salary is at a distinct dis
advantage. Not so, however, with
the wage esrner-according to the
statistician.
The advance sheets of the report
of the Bureau of LabO" ON wages and
retail prices of food in 1906 have
Just been received by the b u e.
{ n. The report shows that in the
principal manufacturing and me-
chemical industries of the country
average wages per hour in 1906 were
80 per cent higher than in 1905.
the regular hours of labor per week
were O.5 per cent lower. and the
of employees In the estab-
lishments Investigated was per cent
greater. The average full-time week.
ly earnings per employee in 1906
were S.9 per cent greater than in
1905.
During 1906 wages were increased
generally In nearly all industries, 40
OF the Al industries covered by the
Investigation showing some increase.
i he greatest increase was in the man
ufacture of cotton goods, where the
average wages per hour in 1906 were
1l.2 per cent higher than in 1905.
