EosrER s PAINE LETTER

 Special Wire to Duey & Overlock.) BOSTON, Aug. 15.-The whole mar ket was almost in state of panic at the opening, but big interests gave support for the first time and stopped the decline. The fluctuations were very cratic and forced selling was hotlce- ebIe all through the list. The condi- tion of the market tonight Is better than it has been for weeks, but 1t is impossible to have any sharp rally yet and there are too many weak accounts to be cleaned up and money IS loo tight. We advise purchases only on breaks and only for cash at that.

SUPERIOR MINE
 IS BEING l PUMPED
When Water Is Out Phelps ! Dodge People Will Examine l Property With View of Be-
 | coming Interested,

The work of unwatering the Super for mine is progressing rapidly and the task is about half accomplished, says the Florence Blade. According to ]. A. MiRear & Co.'S weekly letter from Houghton. Michigan, Phelps Dodge Go. engineer will examine the Superior mine so soon as the Holt shaft and levels shall have been un watered. and if h,a finds the conditions to be what they have been reported 10 tSe. ii is probable that the Phelps Dodge people will become interested in the property. On this subject the Minear letter says:
 .41One feature of the Lake Superior R Arizona which seems to have been fr,raottent is that it is likely to be taken over by one of the several big mining interests. The Phelps-Dodge cdrnpany has it's engineer awaiting the time that the Holt shaft will be free from water so that he may make ah tinspectfon of the property. Should he find it what it is represented to De thefe is no question that satisfactory arrangements can be made with the Ph7Ips-Dodge people to speedily put he mine on a paying basis ms viii. of course, make the local share, holders of the L. & A. participate in whatever melon is cut Not onS do the Phelps-Dodge interests looh with favor upon the L. S. & A., but l' is known that two other western par tfes have approached the directors win view of becoming connected with the property. They have en, .ginaers also waiting to make careful investigation of the claims and Will sIS SO as: soon as the water will haVS been removed from the Holt shaft.
 iTrle letter further states that in the Eot shaft the directors Of the company put great faith. It is tw' cnmpartment opening which begin: Eyt,m a large station cut in the HoI 4unnel about 900 feet from the portals of the tunnel The equipment is be Ijeyed to be sufficient for all immedl -ate needs and once the pumps art started rhe water, which now fills th' shaft will be removed, making 1t pos -ssibIe 10 continue operations at thl' point. ,.-
 The cnlv trouble which has beei encountered so far in the l.. s. x A is the lack of shipping facilities. is stated upon authority Of one ot th' directors of the company that tn' chances for a railroad being built thli coming year are excellent. and thd inc financing of this road is raplal! being brought to point where lt sucS-ess is assured. This railroad VII run from Superior to Florence, distance of about twenty-eight miles and will have the patronage of a nun ber of big mines that are being opeI ed in the vicinity and adjoining tn Lake Superior & Arizona.

Today's market witnessed more liquidation and at times sold still low CT prices than have ever before. At the close the market rallied consider able, very likely due to short covering for traders do not care to hold stocks over night. especially on the markets that we have had the last week. The local market is lifeless, and unless we have better service its hard to tell where it will go to. The present price of stocks look very tempting and there is no question that many are purchases, while others can still de- cline several points and then be plenty high enough.

Corn Growing Contests.

Prof H. l. Whitfield, State super
intendent of education, has received
reports from superintendents in nine
counties stating that corn growing
contests among the school boys have
been inaugurated, and active prepa-
rations are being made for the com
ing crop year In each county liberal
premiums are being offered. and Su-
perintendent Whitfield and Commits
sioner of Agriculture Blakeslee re-
gard this as one of the most progress
sive agricultural movements ever
launched in the State. Mr.. Blakeslee
is also president of the Mississippi
Industrial Exposition, and he is ar
ranging to offer a special premium at
the annual event in Jackson in No
vember to the county corn club that
makes the best collective exhibit,
which should cause further stimula-
ton of interest among the young ag-
riculturists.
In each county the club members
are making their preparations IN
most approved style, and they will
complete elaborate reports showing
area planted, kind of soil, date of
planting, fertilization, and other main
details of the seasons work. Written
certificates of the yield will be fur
nished in each instance, and all other
counties that desire to organize boys
corn clubs will be eligible to compete
for the Mississippi Industrial Exposi-
tion prize.

Railroad Commission.

At the sitting of the railroad com
mission Monday evening the Illinois
Central, Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
and Mobile & Ohio roads, through
their passenger traffic officials eX-
pressed a Willingness to acquiesce
in the proposed order requiring all
railroads to sell interchangeable mile
age books at two cents per mile
This is decided victory for Com
missioner Kincannon, who proposed
the interchangeable system at re-
duced rates, and he is confident that
the other roads in the State will also
give their consent to the issuance of
the order, since these three large
corporations, representing considera-
bly, more than 1000 miles of track
age, have assented to the plan.
The other roads have been granted
until the next meeting to consider the
matter, at which time the formal or
der will be adopted. This is undoubt-
edly the most important matter ever
handled by the commission, as re-
CARDS passenger traffic, for it means
a saving of many thousands of dol
lars each year to the travelling public.
Mr.. Kincannon is handling the matter
personally with the traffic officials,
his purpose being to secure an ami
cable agreement, and thus avoiding
litigation prior to the enforcement
of the order, or legal test of the
commissions right to reduce rail-
road fare.

WhiSkey Fight.

1t is stated that the saloonists of
jefferson county are seriously consid-
ering the advisability of abandoning
the litigation threatened for the pur-
pose of setting aside the special cleo
ton held several days since, which
resulted in the county joining the
prohibition column by the narrow
margin of twenty-four votes, and the
reason for this determination is the
belief that Jefferson will return to
the wet column two years hence,
as it did on former occasion, when
the prohibitionists succeeded in GUST
ing the saloons.
Furthermore, legal advice has been
secured, and it is held by able attor-
neys that the supreme court would
follow the course heretofore plainly
defined and refuse to go behind the
election returns, holding that the leg
islature has delegated certain powers
to the boards of supervisors and cleo
ton commissioners, and that these
powers are arbitrary.
Jefferson county's DETECTION from
the saloon class leaves only the coun-
ties of Harrison, Jackson, Hancock,
Adams, Wilkinson, Warren, Madison,
Washington and Bolivar in the wet"
column, and it is stated that in each
of these counties it is becoming
more difficult matter each year to Sc
cure the required number of sigma
The result in Jefferson renders it
impossible for the safoonists to make
an effort to again bring open bar
rooms into existence until two years
hence, a statute to this effect having
been enacted at the 1904 session of
the legislature

Fruit Crop.

The leading horticu1turalists of the
State who have made careful investi-
cations during the last few days are
agreed in the conclusion that the
fruit crop is still safe, despite the
swelling of the buds during the warm
days of January.
OF course few trees of the very
early varieties that blossomed forth
during the phenomenal warm spell
were injured and may not bloom
again, but the bulk of the crop, which
consists of Elbertas, has not been in
jured, and is not likely to be by any
variety of weather that may happen
during the next thirty days, unless
perchance it should turn very warm
again, followed by freeze.
This is the season of the year when
the peach crop is generally killed
four or five times in the press dis
patches, but almost invariably comes
forward during the summer months
with the usual luscious crop.

Disagreement Among Two of the
Gubernatorial Candidates.

Hon. E. F. Noel and Hon T. U.
Sisson, two of the prominent candi-
dates for governor, have locked horns
State board of equalization.
In his advocacy of uniform assess
ments, Mr.. Noel declares that the
only method by which it can be ac-
complished is State board of equal
ization, and Mr.. Sisson SCOTS at the
idea, declaring that it would render
it necessary for citizens who desire
to enter protests against assessments
to make a trip to Jackson in order TO
do So Mr.. Noel contends, however
that this would not be the case; that
the boards of supervisors of the diff
ferent counties would give the pur-
chase value of property in their cOun-
ties, and the State board would not
take cognizance of individual assess
ments, but would raise or lower the
basis of values for each county, to
place them on a parity with other
counties; that it is especially impor
order to secure equitable assessments
of the corporations, and that the lat
ter are now paying on only one-fourth
or one-fifth of the entire value of
their capital stock.
AS the board of equalization mat
ter will doubtless come before the
legislature at its next session. the
discussion between Messrs. Noel and
Sisson is of more than passing inter-
est, and will be closely watched dur
ing the campaign.

Course in Dairyino.

Advice from the Mississippi A. and
M. College state that nearly two hun
dred farmers are enrolled for the
short course in dairying, which was
commenced on Monday and will con-
tinue for a period of about ten days.
AS this is the inaugural course,
President Hardy and members of the
faculty are more than pleased with
the attendance, and they expect much
substantial good to follow. Compe-
tent instructors will acquafHt the far
mers with modern dairying methods
and on returning to their homes the
practical lessons learned will WELD
strong influence on the industry in
their respective communities
President Hardy expects to provide
short courses in other specialized
forms of husbandry, notably cattle
raising, diversified farming, etc., and
If the next legislature will make an
appropriation sufficiently liberal, the
college will be in shape not only to
train the rising generations in ap
proved agricultural methods, but also
to instruct many farmers now act
lively engaged in husbandry pursuits.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT

There is hardly any other sentence
that is repeated so often in the Unit
ed States as Have drink with me,
unless it is the remark of the other
fellow TO the bartender, Fill 'em up
again.
New York spends 81 1,000,0 900 day
for drinks. The annual consumption
States amounts to 81, 10000, 900. If
all the beer drunk in the United
States since 1876 were brought to-
gether it would fill canal from New
York to Denver, twenty feet wide,
ten feet deep and 1888 miles long.
The nations drink bill is one-third
more than the public debt, twice as
much as the capital stock in the
banks, a little less than the capital
ization of the trusts, one-half the val
ne of our domestic animals, more
than one-half the value of all our
farm products, one-third more than
our total imported merchandise, and
one twentieth more than our total
exports.
If each individual in this country,
regardless of age or sex, had drunk
his share of liquor in 1876, he would
have consumed about eight gallons;
but now the proportion is a little
more than twenty gallons. The in
crease is attributed to the influx of
foreign immigrants, who drink a
great deal of beer.
1t is estimated that three-fourths
of the population are total abstain
ers, which would make every fourth
person who does drink consume on
an average of $40 worth of liquor
each year. If the people who drink
should abstain for a year and pro-
vide fund from the savings it would
start every illiterate child in the
