Submit To Arbitration.

Washington, May THE Guatema-
Ian minister, Senator Toledo Harratte,
has suggested to his government by
cable that it would be wise to offer to
submit to arbitration the difference
between Mexico and Guatemala that
now threaten a complete rupture OF
diplomatic relations.
The minister was at the State DE
partment and had long conference
with the officials in regard to this
issue between the two countries.
1t is pointed out, that both Mexico
and Guatemala are already parties to
a treaty framed at the Pan-American
congress at the City of Mexico, by the
terms of which they agreed to submit
to arbitration every issue that should
arise between them with the exception
of questions of national honor and
those relating to hostile invasions.

Prevention of tuberculosis.

Interest in the session of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis centered
in the social section, in which were dis
cussed questions affecting tuberculo-
sis in schools and factories. The SEN
timent as expressed by the delegates
educators and representatives OF the
workingmen was unanimous that
crowded rooms, bad air and poor light
were the prime causes of the spread
of the disease and that medical steps
should be taken to overcome this con-
dition of affairs. While it was adj
mitted occasional "open" causes ex-
ist, the lack of proper hygienic condi-
tions in the schoolroom and work.
shop was credited with being respon-
sible for the development of the dis
ease. 1t was contended that only the
most modern buildings could be said
to be approximately sanitary.

Trust Enjoined.

The so-called drug trust was per-
petually enjoined from continuing its
operations by the entering OF decree
in the United States Circuit Court
for the district of Indiana on COM
plant of the United States govern
ment, filed by Jos. Healing, United
States district attorney.

Der, who are the members officers,

Severe Treatment.

The following is quite modern
Chinese conception of the foreigners
treatment of infectious cases: If an
epidemic broke out two foreigners
took the sick away and put them in a
little room, washed them with lime
water and then locked them up, 80
that no one could see them, on pur-
pose that they might soon die and
not propagate the disease. Wives
and children might cry and weep, but
the foreigner would but drive them
away with sticks, for until dead no
one must see those faces again. Bet
ter for all Of us to jump into the sea
than submit to this. South China
Post.

The timber Of Mississippi is disap-
pearing at rapid rate and the next
few wears will no doubt bring our peo-
pie to a realization of this more
strongly than ever. The development
of land for agricultural purposes as
well as the cutting of timber for
lumber is fast denuding our forests.
In the face of this fact lies another
that is worthy of consideration. A
large per cent of the large trees and
a larger per cent of the smaller ones,
is entirely lost. The parts not avail
able for lumber being left to rot upoh
the ground. The greater part OF this
wasted timber could be utilized IN
wood and sold at fair price, there
by leaving thousands upon thousands
of dollars in the state that as it IS
now, are sent to Alabama and Ken
tuccky for coal. Train load after
train load of coal is bought and used
in Mississippi every twelve months,
the money paid for it going to other
states and being lost to our home
channels of business, while at the
same time we are wasting wood that
could in a majority of instances and
should take the place of this coal.
"A recent experiment made at Gloster
in the municipal light and water
plant demonstrates the truth OF this
assertion. A comparison was made
of the cost of operating 80 days with
coal alone and 80 days with coal and
wood mixed. The result was balance
in favor of the wood to the amount
of $4684. Then, too, the sum of $780,
rs was left in the community and
of course remained in the channels
of trade. IF the manufacturing plants
and citizens generally used wood Mis-
sissippi would keep at home millions
of dollars that at present goes to 9TH
er states. This is subject of enough
importance to demand the careful
consideration of our people, and
when it is thus considered the writer
believes that in the very near future
the use of wood will be given a great
stimulus.

Nav ASK Change Of JUDGES.

The attorneys for Mrs. Anna M.
Bradley, who is under Indictment for
the murder of former Senator Arthur
Brown of Utah, may request Justice
Wendell Phillips Stafford of Crimi-
nal Court No. 1, over which he pre-
sides, to transfer Mrs. Bradley's case
to Criminal Court No. 2, presided over
by Justice Job Bernard.
The ground for this action, if it is
taken, will be that Justice Stafford
recently in an address before the Yer
mont State Association denounced the
sunwritten law" and the plea of TEN
porary insanity in criminal cases.

| p X. Hammett of near Vicksburg,
one of the most extensive and pro-
gressive farmers of the state, gave the
writer not long since some informa-
ton concerning the manner in which
to cut irish potatoes so that they
would come up in uniform stand
and of equal hardness. He says that
they should be cut from end to end,
leaving at least one eye on the bud
end of the potato and one or two
along the strip as convenient. MIR.
Hammett says that the bud end OF
potato will produce the hardest
plants and that they will come
quicker than the eyes from other
parts of the potato. Then by split
ting them from end to end, with a
bud eye on each strip, the patch
should come up evenly and grow off
together 1t is an experiment worth
trying and the writer would like to
hear from those who try it, giving
the success attained and their opin-
ion of the plan.

Two weeks since comment was made
upon the great interest being taken III
the fairs this year and the prospects
for unusually successful ones, especial
mention being made of the number
of contestants for sweepstakes preml-
ums for general farm exhibits at the
State Fair. Several counties were
named in which there were contest
ants. Mr.. F. NJ. Berryhill writes to
say that in the future, Amite county
must not be omitted from the list.
He is growing an exhibit and will be
in the contest at the finish and will
let the winner know there has been
a race. Mr.. Berryhill will also exhibit
a number of fine Duroc Jersey hogs,
having young gilt and nine pigs
that he expects to have in the pink
of condition when the fair comes Off
He VII also show a cotton which he
has propogated and brought to a high
degre of perfection, equaling any CT
the fancy cottons on the market. No,
Amite county will not be omitted
from the list any more, see if it is.

In addition to the indications OF
oil on the surface near Chunky in
Newton county, announcement is now
made that there are just as favorable
indications near the town of Newton.
This land is also said to be rich III
deposits of solid iron earth from
which a good medicine is made. While
it is not specially desired to have
closer contact with Mr.. Rockefeller
and Standard Oil tactics, it is to be
sincdrely hoped that developments
will prove that Mississippi has some
thing of value under the surface. A
geological survey was authorized by
the legislature at its last sitting for
the purpose of determining something
definite concerning the mineral de-
posts of Mississippi, and while but
little has been done so far, it is con-
fidently expected that the future will
develop something of value in the
ground Of our grand old state. Let the
hope exist at least.

These electric lines would prove for
midable competition to the big steam

Something more than year since,
q large furniture factory was built
at New Albany with local capital.
From the beginning it has experienced
splendid patronage, being at times
sold many months in advance. The eX-
port trade has been catered to with un
usual success and the papers lass
week announce that the United States
government has just given the facto-
nv a rush order for 800 chiffoniers
to go to Panama. The success of this
institution is a source of qualification
10 every one in Mississippi who de-
sires to see our state get that which
is rightfully hers. There is no sense
in shipping our hardwood to other
states to be manufactured into fur
niture and then buying it back again
at profit and freight both ways
This factory will make comprehen-
sive exhibit at the State Fair this
fall, demonstrating the fact that he
bes of furniture can be made at home
best of furniture can be made at
home.

For a great many years Holly
Springs has had a large factory for
the manufacture Of utensils from the
valuable clays found in that section
of the state, the fame of its wares
extending to many states. 1t is now
announced that the second big fac
tory will be built at once and the ex-
cellent wares to be made advertised
extensively. The building of this
second factory should be a help to
the first as would be the. third or the
fourth. When it becomes fact OF
note that Holly Springs is a large
producer of such wares, the trade
will naturally look in that direction
when in the market. The splendid
clays available in that section should
encourage investment in factories, for
its manufacture into articles used
by mankind.
