Although told several times before,
h is well worthy of repetition, that
stock raising in Mississippi is on the
upward tendency and the prospects
are that the next ten years will see
n revival along this line that will be
source Of qualification to the most
enthusiastic supporter of the indus
try. The Hazlehurst Courier commens
ing on the revival Of the interest has
Che following to say:
"Possibly no town in our state
with population not greater than is
claimed here, can boast of as many
good horses as are owned by our To-
cal horsemen. Great as has been the
future predicted for the automobile,
man has manifested no desire to for
sake his old friend, the horse, and
today fine roadsters are In greater
demand than ever before. Not only
are good roadsters eagerly sought,
but those Of standard breed and ac-
knowledged speed are also coming IN
for their share of the honors.o
Copiah county is not an exception
an the case Of interest in breeding
and raising good stock. It is extend
Ing to every section and reports
chow that it is proving exceptionally
profitable. There is every reason why
Mississippi should be a stock raising

movement are acting upon right lines

Man half a dozen counties raise q
surplus of mules, it looks as If this
number might be doubled in the next

worthy of consideration at the hands
Of our people.

The newspaper fraternity is holding
the annual meeting at Jackson this
week where a cordial reception is be-
ing given. The papers are largely
in the hands Of the "deyil" while
the editors are away, and some one
will be unkind enough to intimate
that they show decided improve
ment. This annual outing is the one
oasis in the life Of the country news
paper editor and is Of course hugely
enjoyed. They are class that does
more free work and generally get less
thanks for the same than any people
on earth. But such is life in this day
and time.

1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
visit OF President Clark of the Missis-
slppi Division Of the Southern Cot
ton Association and President Bar
rett of the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union to Vienne, Aus
tria, for conference with the spin
ners OF Europe, will result in SUBJ
stantlal good to the cotton growing
interests. Such a conference will
bring the two interests closer togeth-
er and bring about an understand
ing that will eventually eliminate the
middle men and their profits, giving
to the planter that which has in the
past been lost in speculation and
profits to intermediate dealers. Il
IS gratifying to note the harmony
existing between these powerful or
CARNATIONS, both working toward tie
same end and in the interest Of the
same people, the producer.

the county act went into effect, there
was change and if the primary law
is enacted there will be another. 1t
was a matter which the judiciary
committee had carefully considered
and reported against the passage.
Senator Chillingworth also spoke of

vised Laws of Hawaii by adding to
said chapter a section to be known as
Section 800 H, was read with the re-
port and passed second reading.
Senate Bill 60, as noted above, was
called. The introducer, Senator Ma
kekau, was questioned as to several
matters. He said it was possible that
the control of schools would be turned
over to the counties in which case
there would be no money for their
support.
Senator Smith opposed as he hoped
the day was far distant when any
county would take refuge back of the
provisions of the Organic Act giving
authority to raise money by issuing
bonds.
Senator Makekau again spoke favor
ing the bill and told why it was the
counties are frequently without funds
while there is always a great need of
money. He referred to unjust dis
elimination by the government, call
ing attention to the proposed loan act
appropriating 100000 out of which Ca
hu is to get all but S16,500.
Senator Hayselden supported Make
kau but suggested deferring so it may
be considered with the report on
House Bill No. 159, which is of the
same purport. He advised legislating
for the Territory rather than a single
county. The motion TO defer action
carried.
Senate Bill 80 was called for second
reading. This provides that all per-
sons working in the service of the Ter
ritory or any subdivision thereof shall
be citizens. The committee reported
adversely. AS the measure was being
read Senator Kalama moved that ac-
ton be deferred owing to the absence
of the introducer, Senator Coelho.

inquiry into the ownership and con-
dition of all wharves and landings in

was so disposed of He then moved
