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 conferences
with the officials in regard to this
issue between the two countries.
It 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.

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. Mr..
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.

JANUARY TO BE FREED
Escape Missouri Convict win Be
Given a Pardon.

Attorney General Bonaparte recon-
mended the pardon of John w. Janu-
ary, alias Anderson, the Kansas City
"Jean Valjean," the amnesty to be-
come effective on July 10. At the
same time he fixed upon him the brand
of Cain by reciting the fact that
n former employee of the penitea-
tiary at Leavenworth suspected Jann-
ary of having murdered Axton, the
prisoner who escaped with January.
President Roosevelt Immediately ap-
proved the recommendation, apparent
ly not noticing the reference to the
Axton killing.
The Attorney General, in making
that fact part Of the record, brought
forward something that he himself
said seemed to have no sufficient
ground for existence. The fact has
not been generally known among che
10000 persons who 0igned petitions
for the pardon of the man whose re-
cord of nine years Of upright life
induced the House of Representatives
Of the Missouri Legislature to adopa
a revolution asking that be be par
oned.

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 in
deposits of solid iron earth from
which 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-
posits of Mississippi, and while but
little has been done so far, it is CON
idently expected that the future will
develop something of value in the
ground of our grand old state. Let the
hope exist at least.

For great many years Holly
Springs has had 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 a fact Of
note that Holly Springs is 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.

The timber of Mississippi is disap

The timber of Mississippi is disap-
pearing at rapid rate and the next
few years 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 dies another
that is worthy of consideration. A
large per cent of the large trees and
larger per cent of the smaller ones,
is entirely lost. The parts not avail
able for lumber being left to rot apon
the ground. The greater part of this
wasted timber could be utilized in
wood and sold at a 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 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 81 days with coal and
wood mixed. The result was balance
In favor of the wood to the amount
of 1864. 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 viii be given a great
stimulus.
