A Fightinr PuhIisher.

Mr. w. c. Bcbbs. president Of the
Bobbs- Merrill Publishing Company, Of
Indianapolis, who has recently been on a
visit TO Washington securing new mate
rial for the Reader Magazine, which his
house issues. is just now Ia the thick Of a
legal hght. which, If he wins, will proba-
bly, result in an era Of cheaper works Of
fiction for the American public. The
Bobbs- Merrill company has probably
published more OF six best sellers than
any other firm in the cOuatTy and has, OF
course. suffered most from the laws
which he claims do not protect pub
fishers in maintaining the prices OF their
books He says the copyright and patent
laws are almost identical and yet. while
the courts have held that IL Is legal for
an owner of patented article TO regu-
late the price al which II may be sold
there IS no such protection for the maker
Of copyrighted books. Beaten IN two
courts. Mr.. Bobbs Is carrying the mat
ter into the United States Supreme Court
and IN this fight he stands alone. The
tendency among other publishing firms
| IS 10 increase the price OF books OF fc-
ton Mr.. Bobbs says that II he can Sc
cure the protection OF the courts he VIII
will be able to issue his popular books
/ al 81 instead Of the usual $50. He thinks
that 81 is enough for the ordinary novel

TIPS Paid to Walters.


Do you know that the AmeL /
people give over $5,O0O,O00 a year In
tips?
This estimate, astounding as 1t may
seem, is probably too low. Think of
presenting $13,718 day in tips for
services that you have already paid
for. Take pencil and paper and figure
it out-the result is surely startling
The Pullman car porter is the chief
of the tip grafters. There are 5000
of them in the United States, and the
one who does not collect dollar a
day would be considered useless. The
company pays them low salaries with
the expectation that they VIII make
it up from the travelling public. The
5000 porters must take in at least
$4,000 a day, and that would be s2,-
10000 a year.
Figure out the walters profits.
Several years ago a waiter In one
Of the large New York restaurants
brought suit for $4,000 because he
had been so badly injured that he
could no longer serve customers. He
testified that a good waiter in New
York would average $40 a day. Les
ser lights would fall much below this,
but taking the thousands Of good, bad
and Indifferent the country over, it is
easy to show that they get $4,000, 900
year.

TRUCK GROWERS MEET.
Good Talk by rIr. GaIlman of Gem
treViIIe. Much Interest.

Last Monday morning the Coun-
ty Truck Growers Association met
at the Miss. Southern Bank There
was a good attendance in fact the
directors room was filled. Every
person present seemed to be vitally
interested in the proceedings. and
all took part in asking questions.
One of the most instructive things
before the meeting was the talk of
Mr.. w. S. Gallman of Centreville,
for years successful raiser of fruit
and vegetables. Mr.. Gallman is
not a theorist. He speaks from
personal experience, giving both
the side of success and the side of
failure. He stated that the reason
so many failed in the business was
simply because of poor packing and
shipping that there was always
demand for select fruit, we'll ham
died. Mr.. Gallman declared that
the dishonest trucker does the
whole section harm. He ships
short measure and poor vegetables
and the commission merchants are
suspicious of every crate that goes
from his town thereafter. Mr.
Gallman believes that truck grow
ing offers better inducements than
any other farming. Besides, al
most any truck crop gets off the
land in time for a second crop.
Secretary Stewart read a letter
from St. Louis commission mer-
chant which stated that there was
always a ready market for good
vegetables, that they commanded
fancy prices at all times.
The indications are that seventy
or more acres of vegetables, princi-
pally tomatoes and cabbage, will
be planted in this neighborhood
next season. Arrangements are
already being made to prepare some
of the hot-beds, and by the time
seed-planting time arrives, every
thing promises to be in readiness.
The association will meet again
next Tuesday morning at eleven
o'clock and all interested are urged
to be present.

one that will prove profitable to
the city of Natcez and Adams coun-
ty.
Adjoining counties will reap like
benefits, which adds to the import
ance of the suggestion.
1t is generally believed that the
boil weevil simply annihilates cot
ton and business, whereas, Texas
has grown more cotton since the
advent Of the weevil and without
increasing the acreage to any ap.
preoiable extent
Another report is to the effect
that business conditions were up
sci, but the truth of this does not
seem 10 be borne out by the returns
from the financial world of the
Lone Star State.
There is reason to fear that the
report of the appearance of the boil
weevil in Mississippi will result in
a forced reduction of the acreage
by the declination of merchants to
make advances and that labor will
leave on account of less work. If
it can be shown by committee ap-
pointed by the Board of Supervis-
ors that a good crop can be made
in spite of the pest, then it will i'm
bue the merchants and planters
with feeling of confidence in the
future and great harm will be avoid

A Most excellent suggestiOn.

All things considered, the sug-
gestion offered by Judge Elani to
the effect that the Board of Super
visors appoint a committee for the
purpose of visiting Texas to pursue
an investigation into the extent of
the real damage done to the busi-
ness and cotton interests of that
state by the Mexican cotton boil
weevil, should be regarded in the
light as being most excellent and
