sippi Central Railroad Company as the
wife Of the dead man while this suit

jackson, Miss, September 19.-The
Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph
Company is defying the Mississippi
Railroad Commission and fatty re-
fuses to obey the commiss pms orde
passed in July last, requiring the com
pany to give free county service to its
exchange subscribers. Complaints are
pouring into the commission from all
over the state declaring that the Cum
berland refuses to make any more con-
tracts for free county service and is
making an extra charge for such SER
vice.
I Early last spring the Cumberland
began to charge for this service and
complaint came up from Coahoma
County. The commission cited thR
Cumberland to appear and answer and
the matter was discussed for several
days and through several different
meetings. Finally the commission
adopted an order requiring the com
pany to give free county service
Since the order was passed on July Z
last, the company apparently &C
quiesced in it and all was serene un
til short time since when com
rlaints began to coTiie in to the effect
that the order was being violated ii
toto. Today the commission received
complaints from Como and Sardis IL
Pamela County, and Sumrall, in Ma
rion County. Each of these com
plants stated that the Cumberland
was making extra charge for the coun
| ty service. President McNair sale
the matter would be taken up at once
with the attorneys for the Cumber
land and If the company persists il
violating the order the commission
will have the attorney general pro
ceed against them to compel its OBJ
servance OF the order.

petition from Aberdeen asking tina

OF cotton rates from Aberdeen to East
ern points. The complaint is that thu
present rates are too high and the
commission is asked to reduce them.

BOARD OF TRADE

The board of trade, during the past week. has been silently a, work on one or two propositions which mean much to the citizens of Williams. Although at the present time nothing can be said oi their nature and what the results will be, everyone is assured that il the results anticipated are gained more and more people will be in the city.
 Several other business men have sanctioned the movement by a substantial check and more have signified their intention to do like wise. There have been few knock ers, the ultimate desire and action of the new body deterring the usual "back pullers" from expressing themselves too forcibly.
 The probability of a kindling wood factory is by no means remote, and plans are on foot 10 interest the proper parties in this nove. A factory of this Sort would employ from twenty-five to fifty men, which would mean from 'eventy-five to one hundred more 'eople. The product can be had lere at reasonable figure and the 'nly drawback to be encountered is he railroad rates, which as yet, have not been looked into. How ever, it is not to be expected that the line which touches this point will work any hardship on a rev industry, which of necessity will become reality through fair treat ment at the carriers hands. and the correspondence now on its wa y to the company will probably bring back a favorab ble reply.
 By next week fuller and more concise report of the doings of the board will be given the public. In the meantime boost and help yourself and do all in your power to aid what the board is striving fora better and bigger city.

Insurance Fees

Territorial Secretary Nichols has turned over to the treasurer of the territory the sum of $24,652 which amounts represents two per cent of the gross premiums received by the insurance companies authorized to do business in Ari- zona during the year 1906.
 AS an indication of the growth of the territory, the business done by the insurance companies is, per haps, as good barometer as any other tC be found. and in this con- nection it is interesting to know that the above amount indicates an increase in round numbers of $1OO OOO over the amount of the premiums received by the com panies during 1905.
 The money received from the in surance companies all goes to the school fund.

Taking No Chances

Judge Nave has obviated all possibility of controversy concern ing the validity of sentences served at any place other than Yuma by sentencing Francisco Martinez to ten years in the territorial prison "wherever it may be now or here after located in the territory of Arizona"
 It is the intention of Judge Nave to hereafter sentence all convicted criminals in such a manner that no controversy may arise as to where the convicts shall serve their allotted terms.
 As it will be many months before the new prison will be ready for the receipt of convicts, it may be considered doubtful whether the objection that has been raised can prove very material.-Yuma Sun.
