pos, that the limit of the assessmen, that can be made against the property is $45.o0O They go to work and cui down the amount of the fixed estl- mate tn 5000. This amount cut down in the fixed estimate is paid by the general fund in the shape of salaries to thc engineering and clerical depart mcnts.
 "G took this matter up with the city engineer and he admitted to me that this was the practice. I think that if we are going to advance any money to district that has a low assessed valuation. it should be done openly, so that the gecnral fund will get the cred t for it.
 "Thc normal fixed estimate charge does not begin to cover the engineering and clerical work done in connection with local improvement districts. We should either pay all of this fixed es- innate out of the general fund or col feet if from all improvement districts alike"

spain's Popular Beverage.

"Horchata de chufa" is the singular
name of the most popular drink In
Madrid. This is made from a nut
called "chufa," yielding a milky liquid
when reduced to pulp. This is d.
luted with water and forms most
cooling and refreshing drink. How
ever. it is an acquired taste. Very few
like it at the first trial. The horchata
may be made from different kinds of
nuts. The almond Is used also. Strange
to relate, the horchata de chufa is al
ways sold where mating Is kept for
sale, so that when you spy roll of
the latter outside the store door 1t is
sufficient indication that in that par
ticular place you may procure glass
of the horchata. In spite Of inquiries,
was unable to discover the origin of
the singular combination of articles on
sale.-London Truth.

An apothecary found himself minus
his red light one night at time when
1t was customary for tradesmen of his
class to ornament their store fronts
with a simple red lamp. To supply his
need he took a glass bottle filed with
a red fluid and placed candle behind
1t. The effect SO pleased him that he
added another. Rival druggists illu-
minated their windows, increasing the
number of lights and also changing the
colors. Thus the entire town followed
the lead. So it became the fashion.

Jackson, October THE revival of
interest in the Columbus, Memphis &
Pensacola Railroad company, which
was incorporated about two years ago,
has borne fruit Of a substantial ma
ture, If statements from parties inter-
ested can be accepted. The road as
originally incorporated provided for a
line between Memphis and Pensacola,
running through Columbus, MISSISSIPPI
pi The people of Columbus took con-
siderable interest in the project and
a delegation of the incorporators went
to St. Louis to discuss the proposed
road with the officials of the Frisco
system, in the hope of getting that
company interested, and it was de-
signed to extend the X. c. M. B. or
rather branch of it through Column
bus and on down through the Tom
bigbee Valley. Although the scheme
met with some encouragement from
the Frisco people at that time, the
matter was later on dropped.
Recently, however, there has been a
revival of interest in the line and ct
recent meeting of the stockholders
it was decided for certain reasons
which have not been given to the
public, to change the name of the road
and the route also. The proposed
changes, it is, believed, are due to the
fact that some other syndicate has
taken up the project. The route is to
be changed, according to amendment
adopted it shall extend through the
counties of Chickasaw, Monroe and
Lowdnes in southerly direction so
as to cross the state line between
Mississippi and Alabama at point
near the southeast corner of Lowdnes
county and thence into Alabama. This
route carries the road through q
longer stretch of Mississippi territory
than the original route which went al
most due east from Columbus into
Alabama. The name of the company
was also changed from Columbus.

the Aberdeen and Tombigbee Valley

kAkES INQUIRY
NEW YORK SOCIETY is ANXIOUS
TO KNOW THINGS.
Requests Secretary Of State Power to
Furnish Information Regarding the
Manner in Which the Mississippi
Legislature Does Business.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, October THE Union
League club of New York City,
through its subcommittee on Politi-
cal Reform, is anxious to have some
further information regarding the
meetings of the legislature OF this
state and the methods employed in
Mississippi for expediting legislation
and disposing of the vast amount OF
chaff that is always thrown into the
legislative hopper. 1t appears that
New York's legislature sits often for
six months at time. The secretary
of the committee on Political Reform,
has addressed letter to Secretary OF
State Power requesting fuller infor-
nation regarding the length OF ses-
sions of the legislature and the meth
DDS of procedure, and also the public
sentiment of the state on biennial ses-
sions and the results of our experience
on same. Mississippi seems to have
been singled out especially for the
benefit of her experience in holding
only one regular session of the legis-
lature every four years, with an in,
tervening special session for passing
revenue and appropriation matters
and such urgent and important mat
tiers as the governor may recommend.
The committee especially desires to
know whether there is any advantage
attached to limiting the sessions of
the legislature. The committee was
advised that the experience of this
state on the special session has not
made the scheme popular, on account
of the fact that the authority given
the governor to recommend legisla-
ton, as a rule turns the special ses-
sion almost into regular one, and
at least does not make the session any
shorter. There is sentiment in the
state for changing the plan to the
extent of taking out of the governors
hand the right to extend the session
indefinitely and provide that a ma
iority vote of the two bodies shall be
required to extend the session and
discuss or pass upon any given topic
or subject of legislation.
