The significant comments or the

the Money trial at Greenwood, and
the special dispatch on which the
comments are founded, should make
lawmakers and law preserverS of
the State think. Much has already
been thought on these lines, and
much has been said and written, but
little has been done. OF the merits
of this particular case we OF course
know nothing. The dispatch referred
to appears to place it in the category
OF those in which the law is over
ridden or set aside because of in
fiuences controlled by the offender.
To this class 1t may or may not be-
long. With that we have nothing to
do. The subject which it calls to
remembrance, however, is the all-too

and delvopment by business men can
not go on. The Greenwood case may

the people begin to inquire who they
are. 1t will be found that they large
ly represent the money power in Missis-
sippi. We are in favor of welcoming
the prodigal home, but are earnestly
opposed to making them the leaders of
our party. In the matter Of public
schools, Brewer is in line. He favOrS
the improvement Of our present school
system so that every white child in the
state, may enjoy the benefit OF an ed
ucation. While Mr.. Brewer favOrs
all these public blessings, still he has
strong opposition. The railroads and
corporations are doing their very
best to bring about his defeat. The
gambler, the whisky clan, the bucket
shop keeper are all against him. The
political bosses, the ward heeler, the
little town rings and court house
cliques," are all fighting Brewer for
the reason, that they cannot boss him
him, or control his administration,
should he be elected. But the little
farmers and wage earners are for him
they are the people, who create the
country's wealth in times Of peace, and
fight it's battles in times of war;"
Why, Mr.. Editor, all the beautiful res
licences, and magnificent store houses
and public buildings in your hustling
little city, were built from the sweat
and earnings of the common people.
The question of railroads and corpora

mother and her family, he knows that
all genuine prosperity for our state

pEcREAsE oF FARM LAND.
Pillow Is Less Used in England with
Each Succeeding Year.

The annual volume of agricul-
tural statistics, issued by the board
Of agriculture, which has just made
its appearance for the current year,
shows that the cultivated or farm
land--entered in the tables as the
acreage under crops and grass-was
reduced in 1906 by 10000 acres, in
continuation of the process which
has been annually recorded for the
past Is years The line dividing
permanent pasture from -mountain
and heath land used for grazing is
in the nature of things somewhat
wayering, but in recent years at any
rate, the tendency exhibited has
been so consistent that there can be
no doubt that an apprcciable restric-
ton of the area devoted to agricul-
ture has in fact taken place mainly,
it may be assumed, by reason of the
constant encroachment of urban ag-
gregations with their manifold de-
mands for more land. Something
like half a million acres in Great
Britain have been diverted during
the past Is years from agricultural
to residential or industrial use.
While the farmed area steadily
diminishes, the conversion of arabic
land into pasture continues with
equal persistency and much greater
speed. In 1906, however, the with
drawal of land from the pillow, which
amounted since the preceding year
to 1924 acres in England, did not
occur in either Wales or Scotland,
where there was in both instances a
slight increase. In England and
Wales the proportion of the land re-
turned as under crops and grass
which is under the pillow is now AZ
per cent, while in Scotland it is 70
per cent. Thirty years ago the pro-
| portion was SO per cent. in England
and Wales, and since then it has
steadily declined at the average of
100000 acres per annum.
The proportion of the cultivated
land which is farmed by its owners
is in the whole of Great Britain 1874
per cent, being in England slightly
| higher than in Scotland, and about
two and one-half per cent. higher
than in Wales. Since 1883 the pro.
portion of owner-farmed land ha'
steadily declined, except during thu
years 1S93-97, when there was prac
tically no observation-disclosures Mail
