other part of Mississippi, and only
an agricultural experiment station
can prove the capability of our
land to grow all kinds of products,
I hope the other legislators to be
chosen from the Bluff lands will
present a solid front for this meri-
torious measure and let the choice
of location be determined by the
county offering the greatest induce
ment and soil area in demonstrat-
ing its univeral good to all the
counties.
"To digress, it may surprise
many to know that Hilgard, I be-
lieve, states there are more varieties
of soil in Claiborne county than any
other in this great commonwealth,
and that these varieties can be
found in any plat of one hundred
acres. This statement is mentioned
in the hope that our enterprising
citizens can be of invaluable assist
ance in the campaign of education
and cooperation for having an ag-
ricultural experimental station for
southwest Mississippi located in our
midst.
eff my views meet with the ap-
proval of my fellow-citizens voting
in the next primary and my candi-
dacy ratified at the election in No
vember, I shall, trusting to Al
mighty God, my conscientious en-
deavor to do my duty with the sup
port of the brave men and true
women of this state, devote my
time, energy and ability to the
enactment of laws for their benefit
and material advancement. F"

Having been solicited by many
friends to announce my name as
candidate for supervisor of this
the 9Th district, I have concluded
to do so. Being born and raised in
the district and acquainted with the
majority of the voters, l don't deem
lit necessary to make a thorough
canvass. My record and ability III
business matters are well known to
most of my constituents. If they
honor me with the Office to which
/ aspire, 1 will remember them with
gratitude, with all eye always open
to their interests.
Retrenchment and economy shall
be my motto-will see that the pub
lie funds are not expended on things
of minor Importance to increase the
burden of taxpayers.
Having had practical experience
in building both wooden and cable
bridges, I would be an acquisition
to the board.
Very respectfully,
L. ALFRED.

BANKS GOING TO
A CASH BASIS
The Treasury Department Is
Aiding the National Banks
of the Country.

New York, NV. &c. New
York bankers are expecting a
resumption of cash payments in
lieu of the check system which
has been employed during the
present financial stringency with
in a very short time. The re-
turn to a strictly ca,.l basis in
banking tranacLlons is largely
dependent upon the loan rates on
money. These rates are steadily
declining, and call money pract-
ically went begging in Wall street
late today at 3per cent and below.
Rates on time loans continue
comparatively high. but are
gradually being reduced. AS
soon as the time loan rate reach.
es 6 per cent it is believed the
bankers will feel assured enough
of their position to resume cash
payments.
New circulation from the issue
for 5 percent Treasury cerrifi-
Gates of Indebtedness will be
available within a few days, and
this will be an important factor
in fastening the return to the u.s.
nal banking conditions. The
premium on currency was in evi
dence again to-day. but the rates
were nominal and the demand
comparatively light. The early
disappearance of all premiums is
freely predicted. While it is de-
clared that the New York banks
are in q position to resume cur
rency payments at once, nauy
such payments having been made
within the last few days, they
ar said to be awaiting assurane e
from the interior that the wants
of the cities there have been sat-
lsfactory supplied. So long IS
the interior den a IDS are heavy,
the New York banks are incline d
to hold their currency in readi-
ness for tranfer and to ask the
Indulgence of their local patrons
to the extent of accepting checks
which are being handled with
comparatively little inconveni-
ence.

NOVEMBER TERM
CIRCUIT COURT
Docket Heavy, and Confined TO
Civil Cases Judgment Against
the Frisco R'y for $500.

The November term of Cir
cult Court of Lee county conven-
ed at the court house Monday
morning with Judge E. O. Sykes
presiding, and the other officers
of the court in their respective
places. The docket for the term
is confined to civil cases, there
being no grand jury drawn at
this term.
The calendar for the term,
which appeared in the columns
OF The JOURNAL last week, was
a heavy one, with cases set until
Saturday afternoon. The first
two days of the term was given
to the case of J. T. Nickerson VS..
The St. Louis & San Francisco
r. R. Co., went to trial Tuesday
and was concluded Wednesday
night, resulting in a verdict for
the plaintiff in the sum of 81, 500.
Nickerson, the plaintiff, was a
brakeman, and IN attempting to
get on the step on the pilot of an
engine on the night of October
II, 1905, his foot slipped and be-
fore the engine could be brought
to a standstill all the flesh was
torn from the leg below the knee
and also from the foot and toes
by being caught in the guard rail
at the switch. He was carried
to Birmingham and the next day
the surgeon of the company
found it necessary and amputat-
ed his foot. He brings suit for
SIS, 900 damages, through An
derson & Long, attorneys, snd
secured the verdict stated above.
The case involves some new
points in law and will doubtless
go to the supreme court. The
fight in this court was a hard
one for both sides. The road was
represented by Judge Buchanan,
of Memphis, and j. M. Thomas,

GOVERNMENT RELIEF.

Washington, Nov. 26. There
were several important devel-
opments today in the plans OF
the Treasury Department for af-
fording relief to the money mar
ket by the issue Of new securi-
ties. Secretary Cortelyou stated
that of the amount paid for the
Panama Canal bonds 80 per cent
wonld be deposited with national
banks purchasing such bonds.
All the indications point to large
over-subscription of ponds. The
belief was confidently expressed
at the Cabinet meeting to-day
that the loan would be taken
several times over, and that the
announcement of this fact would
have more stimulating effect in
restorion confidence. The bids
for the bonds will be received up
to half-past a on Saturday after
noon.
An important fact relating to
the one-year Treasury certificates
is that already the amount allot-
ed approximates $25,OOO,OOO Of
this sum only about So, 800, 900
has yet been pledged as security
for circulation, but the certifi-
Gates are being transferred to
the custody of the United States
Treasurer almost as rapidly as
the banks are notified of their al
lotments-
Already the amount of new
bank note circulation taken out
during November slightly ex-
ceeds $4,000, 900, which is be-
yond the estimates of the Treas
ury Department three weeks
ago.
The recommendations to be
made by the Secratary of the
Treasury in regard to financial
legislation are still a subject of
many rumors and questionable
reports. 1t is not expected, how
ever,i in well informed circles that
the Secretary, will go into great
deta | In Presenting a currency
plan. 1t is generally admitted
that some form of emergency
circulation would be authorized
but there is a difference of opin-
ion as to the form of the new is
sues and the rate of taxation to
be imposed upon them. The Ad-
mlnistration is not in favor of
the project for guaranteeing
bank deposits proposed by w. ].
Bryan. 1t is not considered a
a practical measure at the pres
ent time, and there is strong op-
position to the Government CIV
ing a guaranty for any banking
obligation.

SCHOOL BOY IS
KILLED BY CAR

A dispatch from Pine Bluff,
Ark, dated Nov. %, says:
Little Raymond Tins. the 9
year old son of w. H. Tins, was
run down by a street car here
today and instantly killed. The
young lad, with several others.
had left the school building and
started home for their noon
lunch. a street car coming up
just as they left. All the boys
crossed the track except Ray
mond, who was behind and
watching the boys instead of the
cars which struck him, knocked
him under the trucks, and al
most completely cutting the body
in two. The bystanders saw
that the accident was wholly un-
avoidable. /"
W. H. Tins was a resident of
Lee county for II years, his wife
being a daughter Of J. C. Sims,
Of Auburn, and a sister of A. M.
and Chas. Sims Of this city. We
join their host of friends in av-
tending to them our heartfelt
sympathy in their great bereaye-
ment.

n Street Incident and Others
BY COL. w. l.. CLAYTON.

The other day as | was pas
sing along the street, | was &C.
costed by my longtime friend,
H. E. High, saying, "Col. Clay
ton, you have a splendid reputa-
ton to risk it as you are"
How" said l. ":You remem-
ber what you said in your arti-
Gle the other week about it hav-
ing frosted every month in the
year, except one, in 1857? Have
you any body to verify the state
ment?" l replied, Henry,
could furnish the proof if the
men were here, but they are
gone!" Henry said, Il have
not so much reputation as you,
and therefore need some verifi
cation for some of my statements.
| have been telling occasionally
that | saw a time when it showed
all one evening in October be-
fore we had any frost, and peo-
pie shook their heads, and | need,
but cannot get, anyone to con-
firm it," THAT was during the
war; l replied. He said Yes"
why, Henry said l, 'I'm
your man. That was about the
18th of October, 1868. was at
Pamela, in Pamela county, that
day, and Col. Bromley and l left
there there that morning, he
coming to Itawamba county, and
| to Pontotoc, and we rode all
the evening in the snow, and
when we put up for the night the
snow was two inches deep, and
there had been no frost" Henry
seemed we'll pleased that some
one else would rememember it.
You see, that's forty-four years
ago, and while | have no doubt
many will remember the snow,
a large majority of the people
now living never saw it. You
know we say, "the Beautiful
Snow" but he who has never
seen it snow in October and No
vember does not know the force
of this expression. Writing of
this snow reminds me of one |
saw in November some twenty
odd years ago, and a little Incl
dent connected with it. 1t was
the year | owned and share-work-
ed the place west of Verona some
two miles, then known as the
Trapp place, and was down
there experimenting the deliv-
cry and ginning of the cotton
raised by the negroes. / staid |
overnight, staying with Mr.. Nc
Gaughy, who lived near the gin
on the farm. Next morning T
was rushing the negroes ali II
could to get through. Very ear |
ly in the morning the beautiful
snow came falling In fakes. IfI
it had continued till noon thel
snow would have been four in
ches deep. | had an old negro
on the place about sixty years
old named Warren, and he wasI
very much inclined to give upl
