The announcement Of the coming OF

Keylor Grand theater on Wednesday
will be Pleasant news to our amuse-
ment- goers. Every season it visits us
and the reason it retains interest and
keeps patronage at the high water
mark lies in the fact that Manager
Washburn has added some features to
please and Interest. This season is nc

justice during the last few years has
been such as to make it evident that
no man stands above the law, that no
no corporation is so wealthy that it
no corporation is so wealthy that it
can not be held to account. The de-
par;ment of justice has been as prompt
to proceed against the wealthiast mall
efactor whose crime was one of greed
and cunning as to proceed against the
agitator who incites to brutal violence.
Everything that can be done under the
existing law, and with the existing
state of public opinion, which so pro-
foundry influences both the courts and
juries, has been done. But the laws
themselves need strengthening in more
than one important point: they should
be made more definite, so that no hon
est man can be led unwittingly to
break them, and so that the real
wrongdoer can be readily punished.

Our graiL. is sold almost exclusively
by grades. To secure satisfactory re-
suits in our home markets and to ia
cilitate our trade abroad, these grades
should approximate the highest de-
gree Of uniformity and certainty. 1
therefore suggest to the congress the
ACCESSIBILITY of national system of in
|spection and grading of grain entering
into interstate and foreign commerce
as a remedy for the present evils.
Inland Waterways.
Our great river systems should be
developed as national water highways;
the Mississippi. with it's tributaries,
standing first in Importance, and the
Columbia second, although there are
many others of Importance on the Pa
cific, the Atlantic and the Gulf Slopes.

gress. have appointed an inland
outline a comprehensive scheme of de-
lvelopment along all the lines indicated.
Later shall lay it's report before the
congress.
Reclamation Work.
Irrigation should be far more ex-
ltensively developed than at present.
mot only In the states Of the great
plains and the Rocky Mountains. But
in many others. as. for. instance. In
flarge portions OF the South Atlantic
and Gulf states where 1t should go
hand in hand with the reclamation Of
SWAN p land. The federal government
should seriously devote itself to this
task. realizing that utilization Of
Waterways and water power forestry
irrigation, and the reclamation Of lands
threatened with overflow, are all inter-
dependent parts of the same problem.
Forests.
We have made a beginning in forest
preservation, but it is only. begin
ring. At present numbering is the
fourth greatest industry in the United
States: and yet, so rapid has been the
rate Of exhaustion of timber in the
United States in the past. and so rap
| idly is the remainder being exhausted.
that the country is unquestionably on
the verge Of a timber famine which
will be felt in every household in the
land.
Ts,-iff and Wood Pulp.
There should be no tariff on any for
est product grown in this country; and
| in especiaI, there should be no tariff
on wood pulp; due notice of the change
being of course given to those engaged
lin the business so as to enable them

TORS. The repeal of the duty on wood

there shall be no export duty on Ca

Mineral Lands.
| In the eastern United States the
mineral fuels have already passed into
the hands of large private owners, and
1those of the west are rapidly follow
ling. 1t is obvious that these fuels
should be conserved and not wasted,
and it would be well to protect the
people against unjust and extortionate
prices, SO far as that can still be done.
The Panama Canal.
Work on the Panama Canal is pro-
ceeding in a highly satisfactory man.

KIRBY CASE
To Be Called at Greenwood
For Trial Monday,

Of r. L. Kirby and DR.. Grover

killing Of j. ID. Money, Jr., and
the serious wounding OF Col. !.
D. Money, fixed for Fli1ay, has
b en- postponed until Monday,
Justice j. P, Montgomery grant
ing the continuance at the re-
quest of the de PENDANTS, who
were not in readiness for the
hearing.
Additional counsel has been
engaged for the defense, the
Kirbys retained Hon r. n. Mil
Ter, the noted criminal lawyer Of
Hazelhurst, and it is understood
that they will make a determined
fight for justification at th pre-
liminary trial, claiming that the
shooting was IN cell defense.
Col. Money and his friends
stoutly contend that the shooting
was without warning from either
of the Kirbys. and a large mass
of conflicting testimony is ex-
pected. The old feudal bitterness
that has existed between the two
families for the past two years
will be shown by the brilliant
array of counsel retained by
both sides. Ex- Attorney General
Monroe McClung and Congress-
man w. s. Hill will be among
the attorneys for the prosecution.

DRASTIC
Measures Are Taken Against
Telephone Company.

] Clarksville, Tenn, Sept. H.
Excitement over the cutting of
the wires of the Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph Com .
pany, as result of their failure
tC comply with an ordinance re-
lquiring them to be removed from
the streets in the business part of
the city, has subsided. and now
the question of most interest is
future developments, Out OF over
1000 telephones in the city it is
said that only about one-third
are connected with the office.
Two rural exchanges, those at
Southside and Marion, are cut.
OFF from the city, and one toll
line is said to have been cut. The
city officials state that the work
was done at night, so that there
would be comparatively no dan
ger to the public from falling
wires and the electric current
The current was tu ned off the /
trolley wires at the time so as to
avoid danger, and before it was
turned on again the trolley was
cut to prevent danger from the
wires that had failed across it.
Twelve of the operators were
aid off yesterday, and those on
duty have little to do, as the
service is such that but few con-
1ections can be made. General
Manager Hume has not yet given
out anything to the public which

straits for need of funds TO pro-
cure the necessary comforts for
the unfortunate little ones there.
Every cent of the funds raised
at the lawn party will go toward

Exciting Runaway
On Main Street.

A runaway team driven by Jo-
mas GreanIeaf. a negro who lives
four miles east of Columbus, cre-
ated a panic on Main street Sat-
urday evening at six O'Clock.
The team became frightened at
an automobile and madly tore
through the crowded streets, col
liding with a carriage occupied
by Mesdames S. +. Whitfield an |
Beverly Matthews. The carri-
age was upset and both ladies
thrown heavily to the ground
ard Mrs. Whitfield was very
painfully bruised and shaken up
Mrs. Matthews escaped with
slight injuries. The negro,
Greenleaf, was hurled from his
wagon by the collision and was
severely II rjured about the hips.
necessitating his removal to the
hospital. The runaway created
much excitement and it seems
miraculous that no one was
killed.

COTTON CHAIR
Is Proposed For Agricultural
And Mechanical College.

The sug gestion that the legis-
lature should authorize the A. &
NJ. College to establish a chair
of cotton chasing Is meeting with
much favor, aud it Is very likely
/ that bill making this provision
wilt be among the first passed at
the approachiD Z session. In dis
cussing this subject the Green
vile Times, published in the
heart of Mis- 4issippi's greatest
cotton growing belt, has the fol-
lowing:
"There has been no power or
institution that has done more
for the up-building Of the state
and the advancement Of its agri-
cultural interests than the Agri-
cultural 6 Mechanical College of
Mississippi. At the head of near
ly every profes sion in this and
some other states you find its
graduates winning new laureis.
Again, there is hardly a COM
munity in the state but what you
find man who has attended the
college and wherever you find
him, you find him leader or q
successful business man of the
community.
"The college should not be
withheld a dollar by the next
legislature which it needs to
establish new departments or
increase it's usefulness. There
should be established Il class in
cotton grading for the benefit Of
planters and young men in the
state. Other states are teaching
it in their agricultural schools,
and so should Mississippi. 1t has
the endorsement of the Farmers
Union and where it has been !
condu cted in Alabama and GeOr~ .
gia under its auspices it has
proven a success. The acquiring
CT this knowledge-b the farmers
or their sons means the saving
to them annually of millions of I
dollars which now through their !
ignorance of this science goes in
to the middlemen's pockets.
1.-The Times hopes to see the
A. &c NJ. College of this state
announce at an early date the
of a chair for
teaching the science of grading
or classing."

LAST GAME
Of Ball For This Season Has
Been Played Here.

The last base ball game of the
! season for Columbus was played
on the local grounds Friday be-
tween Columbus and Mobile, re-
euIting in a victory for Mobile by
a core of five to one. It was an
interesting game, however. and
was Witnessed by a large crowd.
To-day the Columbus team plays
Vickshurg at Vicksburg. and the
last game Of the season is to be
played at jackson Wednesday
between Columbus and Jackson
The team will then return here
with Manager Stewart, and after
winding up the affairs Of the
club the members will return to
their respectivs home. Manager
Ace Stewart will 60 to Terre
Haute, Ind, his home, to spend
the winter.
That Columbus will remain
with the league next season is
certain, and it is probable that
Hattiesburg and Natchez will be
added, making an eight town
league. The Columbus team viii
be strengthened and Stewart will |
manage the team. Since be came
here five weeks ago Columbus
has won sixty per cent of the |
games played and has put up
better ball in every way. Billie
May is certain to be with the
team next season, but the girls
are hereby warned that on his
return he will be accompanied
0y Mrs. Billie May, at least
that is the rumor in baseball
circles.

here became very much attached

AGRICULTURE
And Good Roads Discussed
By Experts.

Hon. T.. y. Gambler, M. c..
accompanied by the agricultural
experts from Washington met
with a good audience of Lowndes
county people at the court house
in Columbus Thursday morning.
Prof. Eldridge of the office of
public roads was also with them
and made quite an interesting
talk on tho Improvement Of roads
and shove | to WI a. extent god
roads enhance the value Of ad-
jacent property. Prof Wilson
Mississippian devoted his re-
marks to the cultivation and
marketing Of cotton, giving his
audience much information of
value in this respect. Prof. Bon
steel gave an interesting talk an
on soil and what is best suited
to grow on the different kinds
of soil. Prof, Kellogg devoted
his remarks to the preservation
of forests and the outstanding of
our resources in lumber. Con-
gressman Gambler, who is a
practical man, talked in a gener-
al way of farm improvements.
He is ever alert to the interest of
the farmer and they are deriv-
ing much benefit from his work.
Their visit here will do much
good. That the audience was
much interested in the agricul-
tural experts was evinced by the
number of questions asked them,
and at times the discussion was
general as to the subject in hand.
After the speaking the experts
discussed local conditions pri-
vately with many farmers, and
overy one went away we'll pleas
ed and all had a good word for
our faithful Congressman for
bringing the men here.

Murder In Clark.

Newton, Miss, Sept. 14.-Af-
ter pending in the courts of New

notable Semmes case has been at
last settled by the acquittal Of
Dr. Semmes in the Clark county
coul al Quitman, to which place
a change of venue was granted
from this county at the July
term of court. The matter was
heard in Judge r. F. Cochran's
court. and in thirty minutes after
the case was given to the jury
they had made up their verdict
of not guilty. Owing to the prom

siderable interest has been
mantle sted all along in the mat

1t will he remembered that in
April, 1903. DR.. +. G. Semmes
