Percy's Plan to Secure Labor

Hon. Leroy Percy's plan to re-
move obstacles to the importation OF
foreign labor for the cotton planta-
lions Of Mississippi, which has been
approved by Commissioner OF lmmi-
grafton Sargent, while a long step TO
the end desired by those who favor
the bringing in Of foreign labor, by
no means settles the problem.
In the opinion of those who have
carefully studied the subject, Mr..
Percy's plan will not remove the
deep-seated prejudice entertained by
the Italian government against Mis-

been declared by the authorities at
Rome. who refuse to issue passports
to Italian immigrants headed for Mis-

nor deny any knowledge of the rum
or with reference to putting in large |
deIinting plants at Wilmington, Char
lesion, Savannah, Pensacola. Mobile
and New Orleans. He said that the
general proposition was of interest
to him in connection with his GIN
ming properties in Georgia and Ala
ban1a. He further stated that his
own gins could easily keep a 2oo-ton
delinting machine busy from Septenl-
Der to December, inclusive What he
meant by his 2oo-ton reference was
a machine that would delint 200 tons
of seed in "a hours.
Mr. Hanson thought that the de-
Uniting Of upland seed, especially #
the work was done at the port, would
result in an increased market fol
them; that if the proper economies
in de1inting were observed the value
of the seed would be increased, az
they would be ready upon arrival at
their destination for ginning pur-
poses; furthermore, the working OF
the seed through delintlng process
at the port would insure the seed
getting on board steamer in a good,
dry. sound condition.
Mr.. Hanson was asked what his IN
formation was with reference to the
statement made by the manufacturers
of oil mill machinery that the cotton
taken from the seed III del1ntlng more
than paws for the cost OF running thu
machinery He said that representa-
tives of several delinting machinery
manufacturers had recently stated TO
him that such was the case.
Mr.. Hanson was asked how the
export prices quoted the interest with
which he is connected compared with
the prices that were being paid for
seed on this side, to which he repl1ed
, that all OF last season the net prices
quoted TO him for upland seed at IN
terror Georgia and Alabama points
taking rate to the port, say, OF from
| 49,
were anywhere from two to i've dol
| lars ton above the prices paid by
the American oil mills. He further
stated that this had been the case not
| only last season but for several sea-
sons past. but that last season was
| the first season the interest with
which he is connected was organized
to take advantage of the export OF
| fers.
| Mr.. Hanson was asked what IN his
opinion was the reason why some
one had not before taken up the mat
ter of exporting seed to oil mills III
foreign countries. He said that II
do this business required not only
an organization but system, order
and considerable capital. He thinks
that the lack of an organization toi
lcarrying on business OF this sort Is
the reason why it has not been done
Mr.. Hanson was asked II there
were any advantages in de1TntIne
iseed exported other than those al
treadH discussed He said that the
extra handling which export seee
would necessarily have to go through
in the delinting process would no
only remove the dirt and deae
weight from the seed and increase
their value, but would also remov'
the lint which holds the dampnes

Popular Aapravai ef Theft.

The idea of private property has never been fully accepted by the mass es of the people and never had their cordial approval as an institution. The most popular songs and ballads of cur nation in all ages, it may be noted, have been those which described sym pathetically attacks on private proper ty from the Robin Hood cycle to the broad sheets in which Turpin anti Sheppard were made heroes. Even nowadays the literature that really touches the people, the literature that the educated classes seldom so much as see exposed for sale, the literature that is sold ill the small general shop in the back street and costs fewer pennies than the novel we know costs shillings. still very largely deals with the romantic exploits of the robber He is never q villain; he is noble and generous to q fault, but he is con vincel of the impropriety of persons having too much money. = London News.

PLANS SUBMITTED.
Several Concerns Represented Here Monday With Plans for Steel
 Bridge at Madison.

The St. Francis River Bridge Com missioners of this county met Monday for the purpose of receiving plans and specifications from numerous bridge building concerns of the country who expect to put in bid for the job.
 Several plans were submitted and they were in turn referred to Mr. H. N. Pharr, consulting engineer, whose duty it is to examine them very care fully, going into their minutest details. and finally deciding upon one. which he will recommend to the commits sioners for adoption.
 They will then adopt some plan. and after amending il by the addition of any details of other plans which it lacks, and which are desirable. they will proceed 10 let the contract as advertised in this paper, and the bridge will be built at an early dade.
 The commissioners are proceeding with this great enterprise in most bGsineSs-like and very careful manner. and are determined to get the very best material, best plans, best work manship and best bridge that can be had for the money.

Business generally is booming. Cot ton is gradually regaining it's loss, and money matters are more quiet than for month. The people are getting used to the "new money" confidence Is being restored, bank deposits are increasing, and financial affairs are getting back to normal just as fast as possible. There is no reason for hard times in this country, and as soon as the Eastern banks become able to return the balances due us, the South will continue right along in the even tenor of it's way as heretofore.
