Says the Complaint OF Trac-
ton Company Is General
In Its Nature.
COUNTER SUIT UNCERTAIN.
CREWS ARE SET TO MOORMAN'S
SWITCH TO MEET THE DAY.
TON & WESTERN CARS AND
BRING THEM IN.

T. j. Study has returned from IN.
dianapolis where he went to see the
complaint for restraining order
against the city of Richmond for put
ting into effect the ordinance pro-
hibiting the operation of traction cars
on Main street east of Eighth street.
Mr. Study is very uon-commital as 10
the plan of campaign he has decided
on in the fight TO be waged by the
city against the traction interests.
The complaint includes about
twenty-five pages" Mr.. Study stated.
and is general in its character. tho
point brought out being that the en-
forcement of the ordinance would in
jure the business of the traction COM
pany.'
Il cannot make a statement on that
point" Mr.. Study said, when asked IL
he intended to apply for restraining
order prohibiting the Terre Haute.
Indianapolis & Eastern traction COM
pany from leasing its Main street
tracks to the Dayton & Western.
II is Mr.. Study's opinion that the
fight between the city of Richmond
and the traction company will revolve
about the point as TO whether the
traction company has the right under
the existing state laws to operate
freight cars on Main street Mr.. Stu
dy states that IL the city can prove
the traction company has not this
right he is confident the company will
capitulate and grant all the demands
made by the city.
Dayton & Western cars operated In
to the city now are met at Moorman's
switch, east of the city and brought
into the interurban station by Terre
Haute. indianapolis a. Eastern crews.
The ID. & w. crews wait at the switch
until the car is returned, using an alb
andoned traction car as a loafing
place.

Gives Farmers of Mississippi Some
 Sound Advice

Jackson, Miss, October 6.-(Special) Hon. Walter Clark of Rosedale, who is president of the Mississippi division of the Southern Cotton association, and one of the foremost business men in the state, has addressed the following letter to tie farmers of the state:
 Early in the new year many farm CTS of Mississippi will face serious problem-high priced grain and hay.
 Although Mississippi planted the largest area in corn in the history of the state, the crop is very sh ort. High priced grain is in. sight for some years, and extremely high prices, too.
 q would advise the planting of all the present vacant and well drained land in oats. The corn fields should be plowed under at once, and the oats sowed, two and q half bushels to the acre. Our people always make the mistake of sowing oats too late. They should be sowed during this month, and as early as the land can be prop erly prepared.
 There should be in each neighbor- hood a good, up-to-da self-binder and threshing machine.
 When the oats are removed from this land they should be followed with peas.''

Questions Leak Out,

Jackson, Miss. october 6.-tSpecial) The heads of the state educa tional de- partment, as we'll as those of some of the counties are seriously concerned over leaks that have occurred, and by which advance copies of the questions to be used in the examinations of ap- plicants for license to teach have been used. In two counties, Lincoln and Yazoo, the superintendents who were conducting the examinations of negro teachers have detected then in jack ing" and in the first named couSty a couple of the female applicants were arrested. These questions are pre- pared at Jackson under the eye of the state superintendent, and are supposed to be kept inviolate till sent under seal to the county superintendent. Of course somebody has been stealing the question sheets and selling them to the negro teachers. The identity of the thief is what the superintendents are after now, and they promise to make it very interesting for him if spotted.

The roads pleaded guilty to the charge, but plead ed in extenuation that they had not been furnished with blanks on which to make such reports as the law requires the commission to do, the Gulf and Ship Is- land going to the extent of stating that it had even requested these blanks of the commission, and did not get them. The cases go to the supreme court.
