Mississippians' Views on
Cotton.

We give you below two differ

Hon Chas. Scott has the distinc-
lion of being the largest cotton
planter in the world, cultivating
$1,000 acres in cotton, each year
OF course he likes to see cotton

litcal feature we call your atten-

pictures given, covering the
growing Of cotton.
Some time ago Messrs Scott
and Brewer addressed the people
at Heath's Mill, in Grenada
County, and among other things
discussed the raising ofcotton.
Hon. Chas Scot, candidate for
Governor, was enthusiastic, as
follows, in telling how he "loved
TO raise cotton :"

in the soil that is well prepared,
when the beautiful sunbeams of
heaven may kiss mother earth,

TWENTY-THREE ESCAPE
 FROM TIE PRISON
SympathizerS Blew Out Part of Temporary Prison Where
 They Were Confined

DOUGLAS, Jan. 30.-(Special)- News hsse been received here that the twenty-three Mexican revolutions ists. who were recently sentenced to eight years in prison at Mexico City, have escaped with the assistance of sympathizers, who blew out & portion of their temporary prison at Mol:e- rey, where they were being held pending their shipment to Mexico City.
 The prisoners were all herded to- gether in large room of the Monte rey jaii and through some means communication was established he tween them and sympathizers who had followed them from the northern part of Mexico. At a concerted si5- nal the prisoners all crowded back in the room and the sympathi=eIs S blew out a large piece of the wall with dynamite.
 The twenty-three prisoners all made a rush for liberty with such speed that they escaped to the mountains before the authorities could do any thing and none of them have been ar. rested as yet. A close search is be ing made for them by armed parties and secret service men are endeayo-

LEGISLATIVE CHAT

All over Arizona Eugene Brady O'Neill has a reputation as an after dinner, as well as public speaker, and to hear him speak out in meeting has won for him many friends.
 But O'Neilrs friends have often noticed that he seldom tells a story to illustrate his remarks. He ex- plained last night why this is the case.
 q always hate to tell a story" he began, because my listeners may have heard it before. What boredom that is for them. what agony for me.
 Tt is like the case of a friend of mine. He is deaf, but tries to con ceal his deafness.
 And one night at 8 dinner the host told a story at which everybody sim ply roared and my deaf friend joined in and out-roared the whole table, though in truth he hadn't heard a word.
 "'That story he began. reminds me of another one-
 And then the poor fellow went on and told the very same yarn the host had repeated only a minute before"
 Perhaps the plainest appearing man in the legislature Is Day, of Apache, the only member of either house who scorns to wear starched collar. But Day is already one of the most admired, and though he has not made any speeches or introduced any bills, his fellowmembers recognize in him one of the ablest among them. Day can probably afford swell clothes as well as any other member, but he has never yet agreed with oth- CT people that clothes make the man Before this legislature adiourns the members are going to learn that Day | is the safety valve. and that when he says a thing is right it is right and when he says 1t is wrong it is | wrong.
 The legislature can do one of four l things" says Day. Tt can do noth ing at all, do a great many things, dc much harm or do much good. It is up to us to say what the harvest shal | hp

DOUGLAS GUN CLUB
 MEMBER WINS TROPHY is nthuSiastic Shooter and May Be In Territorial Finish.
 Good Work In Texas,

DOUGLAS, Jan. 30.-(Special.)- )-
 H. N. Reno, president of the Copper City Brewing company of this city and a member of the Douglas Gun club, won the Sunny Southern Hand icap Trophy" at the annual trap shooting tournament of Texas, held at Brenham yesterday. He broke S7 out of a possible 100 in a high wind and in the face of "norther," against field of over fifty shooters, both amtaeur and professional CT. Bill' Crosby, T. E. Hubby and MT. Bosely tied for second place with the score of 86 each. Messrs. Barkly, Olsen and Holt tied for third place with a sore of So birds each.
 MT. Reno is one of the enthusiasts of the local gun club and if he keeps up his present gait he will be in at the finish of the territorial tourna' ment which will be held in Douglas next fall. Interest in this shoot is growing in all parts of the territory and members of the local club are practising each week. The member ship of the gun club is fifteen al present and many new shooters are expected to join before the tourna. ment. which will be the largest ever held in Arizona.
 The gun club grounds, near Lin. coin park. are the best and most com plete grounds in the territory for a big tournament The latest claybird traps and every facility fer the con duction of modern shooting match are controlled by the club, and the
 greatest enthusiasm prevails over the prospects of the sport in this city.

DOUGLAS, Jan. 30.-(Special.) )-- That Douglas is the center of much activity in mining and railroad cir cles lately is proven by the number of civil engineers, prospectors and mining men who come and go every day. TTenty-four hours do not pass without 8 big deal in real estate or mines being consummated in this bus ting business city.
 The most important deals transact ed in mining and the discovery of new strikes in Sonora and Arizona are not given out by new arrivals in the city. Publicity on such subjects until the plans are completed defeat the aims of the promoters and min ing men. Getting news for the bene- 1t of Douglas citizens on new moves is yet in its infancy, Because nothing is given out on mining or railroad subjects unless the promoters have an object in divulging their plans.
 A prominent engineer of the South ern Pacific has been spending several weeks incog in the city and has made the closest investigation of the su- burbs for transportation room and the erection of facilities. He left for that section of the country in Sonora i'm mediately south of Douglas with an outfit which indicated that he would do considerable investigating in the field. This engineer would give no inkling of his plans and would not state that he was employed by the Southern Pacific. What he "let drop" to few friends in the city, however. indicates that he is a confidential agent of the company who has been doing considerable private scouting for the company around these parts.
 The fact that the Southern Pacific is going ahead with its track laying along the same valley as the Eacozari indicates that 1t intends to connect

DOUGLAS, Jan. 30.-tSpeclaD-
 A telegram has been received hece stating tbat Yaqui Indians ambushcd a party of Mexicans on Sunday at suaqui, near Butac. and killed two oi them. The government mails at those points have also been robbed by the Indians and the governor of Sonora has offered reward of $50 a head for every Yaqui implicated in the trouble. the reward reading that the money will be paid whether they are brought in dead or alive.
 The Yaqui Indians are doing all they can to annoy the Mexican sol diers and are making raids on places where the mails pass. Several out rages of a similar nature have been perpetrated lately and each time the Indians manage to get away into the mountains, defying alI attempts to catch then-

DOUGLAS IS CENTER OF ACTIVITY

with it's main line by way of Doug. ias, although there are reports of the line going into Cananea- If the lat ter were the case, however, H is not thought that a high salaried official of the railroad would be spending weeks making a close investigation of the railroad possibilities here.
 From the mystery and secrecy maintained by the railroad in regard to it's movements, and the fact that the officials of the Southern Pacific are in close touch with several min. ing men and assayers in Douglas, it is thought that the railroad will de yelop some rich mining territory in Sonora on its own account.
 Preparations for the trip of the Southern Pacific engineer Into So nora were made in the office of a well known Douglas broker last week. This broker was asked for whom the tents, provisions and other accoutre. ments were being gathered together:
 "Oh, that is merely for photogra- pher who Is making some pictures of the mining districts of Sonora" was the affable reply.
 Shortly afterward the owner of the property came into. the brokers of. flee and stated that he would leave next morning. Enquiries made of the photographer later in the day de. yeloped the fact that he was q promi. neEt engineer of the Southern Paci fic, who has gained a reputation for big bridge building feats in the east
 The engineer was accompanied by assayists and mining men on his trip south, and by putting these facts to gether. with other information, it is surmised that the Southern Pacific has other important interests to de velop besides the building of a rail road into Douglas-a move which ii regarded as certain.
