vice and so restore public confidence He pointed out that passenger who was once stung. or who had a dispute with cabman over an exorbitant fare became street car rider and rarel, again would have anything more to do with public cab. This same con dition Is said to affect the cab business in every city of the country. particu- lariy at railroad depots. as arriving strangers, even though the waiting cabs are run on . strictly honest sys- tenn, are afraid of all cabs and cab mon unless they know the distance in that city and are familiar with the cab rates.
 It is held by many cab experts that If taxameter cabs become tha rule at all the railway stations, the cab bus mess from strangers will be greatly increased. It is believed also that if the taxameter becomes universal in this country 1t will create vast vol tune of cab business among people who would be glad to pay the exact legal rate. but do not care to run the risk, of all sorts of exorbitant> de- mands.
 One expert. who has been studying the situation abroad. is of the opinion that if the taxameter becomes conn mon. Americans will become far great CT cab users than are the Parisians, ~0oS @iE ucCu tuQto 1S &NNW Workers use street cars.
 The company which introduced the taxameter into New York Is so confi- dent that if some sort of fare-regis- terfng device can be made universal it will greatly increase the general volume of cab business. and lead to greater profits for all at less even than present rates. that it's officers have offered to supply taxameter de- vices to any cab owner or driver any where in the United States who wants to use one. The company will shortly be able to supply taxameter devices to cab men in other cities, and win see to It that all who want them are sup piled.
 Its main object is to conduct in this way a national campaign for cab hon esty, as it believes that those who use the taxameter elsewhere will be cab users when they visit New York.
 At the same time. the company will supply these devices to any cabman in New York who wants one. and present indications are that within a few months practically every public cab in New York will be equipped with these devices and the day of cab extortion will be thing of history.

orFIcIALs ARE UNEASY.

Viscount Aokfs statement fin San Francisco concerning the Japanese question has caused little surprise here, since 1t is in line with what the State Department well knows Is the attitude 0f the Japanese Government. At the same time it makes clear a fact just beginning to dawn with force on Washington, that the negotiations with Japan over the emigration question are not running smoothly and are fraught with a danger that cannot be over looked. however much 1t may be de-
 President Roosevelt and Secretary Root will do their utmost to prevent any exclusion Legislation at this ses- eion of Congress, and no doubt they will succeed. In fact. the President will go to any length to. prevent such legislation, and will veto an exclusion Dill if need be, No one believes, how ever, 1t will be necessary
 The situation sinners down to this: If the Japanese government keeps It's coolies out in good faith. serious com- not, it will not be more than a year or two before Congress will be forced to act.
 Interesting in this connection is tho tendency to fortify on the Pacific Coast. Representative Humphreys, of Wash. ington. laid before the President this morning a memorandum urging that Puget Sound greatly needs torpedo boats and submarines. more men fon the forts, stronger Qualifications at sev- eral points and heavier guns in the for. tifications.

Poet. who Were Lawyes.


 The old connection between law and literature was strengthened by the late Sir Lewis Morris. who praoticed as a conveyancer in Iincoln's Inn while he was establishing his reputation as a poet.
 There have been several poets of the bar for the slopes of Parnassus. The present Poet Laureate was called at the Inner Temple in 1857 and attended the York Assize and West Riding Ses- sion for two or three years. Dut the late Sir Lewis Morris is tho only poet of repute who has found the tasks of conveyancer not incompatible with the cultivation of the muse.
 K. D. Blackmore. the author Of Lorna Doone," practiced as a convey ancer for several years. Sir Walter Scott. speaking of himself and law. said: There wassno great love between us. and 1t pleased heaven to decrease 1t on further acquaintance" Most of the poets who have sprung from the legal profession appear to have entor. tained the same unfavorable view.
 CowDer, who was a fellow pupil of Lord Thurlow's in an attorneys offlcs. was called to the bar at the midgifr temple, but he quickly yielded himself to- the charms of literature.
 Denham was member of Iincoin'a Inn, and Thomas Gray. the author of the famous "1legy Written in a Coun. try Churchyard," studied for the bar but neither of these got beyond the apprenticeship stage. Barry Corn. -walP' was a solicitor.

He lives there with his wife and two children. The oldest. boy of about . years of age. Is the first Japanese child born in Texak
 Several other Japanese colonies were projected in 1905 and 1906. but have never materialized. owing chiefly to the discourag agefnent thrown upon such schemes of emigration by the Japanese Government and the obstacles thrown around the entrance of Japanese labor CTS into this country.
 In 1908 If. Katayama and T. Okasaki bought I0.200 acres In Live Oak Coun- ty, and announced that they would col onize 200 families from Japan. They declared their intention to make the raising of rice and silk the chief pro- ducts of the colony. The mulberry trees in this section were found to maintain silk worms. and these two Japanese. claiming to be experts claimed that a silk industry could be developed in Texas: that we would produce fabrics as fine as those that come from Japan or China. The pro- motors sailed away to Japan. but never returned with their colonists, and 1t Is matter of regret in this State that those skilled silk k-makers were not al lowed to come here and demonstrate. a new industry.
 Tn the spring of 1908 another Japa- nese promoter, Y. Mayumi. bought 1,600 acres in Jefferson County. and am nounced his intention of establishing Japanese colony there. So far as can be learned his plans have meyer mate rialized. There is said. however. to be small colony near Houston that has been experimenting successfully with the, culture of tea. A few Japanese still slip in through Mexico, but the vigil lance of the Federal officials along the border have so Feduced the number

peared in it's columns from the pens or Peter Fraser, young clergyman, and Henry Crabb Robinson, who were sent to Aitona by the newspaper.
 From that year onward there never has been a conflict of nations which was not covered by a special corre- spondent of The Times.
 The site upon which The Times build ing stands is historic. On 1t fin 1878 the Black Friars began the erection of the new buildings of that monastery In 1911 the building was used for the sessions. of Parliament. In i443 Ii served as a storehouse for ordnance. Tn 1922 the mighty Emperor Charles V stayed in 1t while on a visit to Eng land. Tn 1923 King Henry VIII held the "black parliament" within its walls The Friars came under royal dis pleasure about this time, and in 1B3s the property was taken from them. In 15A4s when the Dutch were masters of the sea, the monastery was used as a storehouse for herring. In 15se part of the premises were converted into a playhouse. wherein shak espeare was wont to see his plays produced.
 For seventy yeare the playhouse last ed. and then, in 1866, the entire prem iss were devasted by the greet fire of that year. In 1867 John Bill founded The London Gazette. His building was destroyed by fire in t737. In 17S4 the first John Walter took over the site and erected the home of The Times, which has grown with the paper.
 c. Arthur Pearson Is a young man, having just turned 40. He was the son of country preacher and early in life took to newspaper work. He won first place In competition instituted by Sir George Newnej and was taken on the stan of Tit-Bits
 From that date his rise was rapid. He soon became manager of Tit Bits. Four years later he left Sir Georges paper to start Pearson's Weekly for himself.
 In appearance, he is like Kipling. There is the same roundish face, the same large glasses, the same mus. taehe. An unusually da4k complexion and unconquera5le smile complete the picture.
 His greatest love Is his work. and next to that come motoring and riding. He has plenty of money with which to buy good cars, and knows enough of a horse to Keep good stable.

Bic Alcohol Plant.

Hattiesburg, Miss. Nov. 2. The
Lignum Product plant in Hatties-
burg, one Of the largest industrial
establishments in this city, is to be
put into operation Immediately.
It will be made to manufacture
denatured alcohol. For that pur-
pose 4 considerable change in the
machinery will be necessary. To
make these necessary changes new
capital in the company will be
needed, and this is being provided
by means of a reorganization of
the corporation which has been
effected practically already.
The plans have already progress
ed So far that work on the plant is
about to commence, and it is ex-
pected to have the establishment in
full running order by January i.
The reorganized establishment will
have a capacity to turn out 1O0, 200
gallons of denatured alcohol per
day and it is believed there IS q
market to justly the plant in run
ming on full time, especially as ii
is shown that by the use Of mill
refuse the denatured product can
be made at d price that will enable
it to be sold at d large profit. The
denatured alcohol Is worth some.

Death of Mir. ]. B. Hughes.

Mr.. j. B. Hughes, who, for a
number of years resided in Brook
haven, where he was engaged in
the marble yard business, died
suddenly early last Saturday morn
ing at his home near Heuck's Re-
treat, where he has lived for sever
al years past. He had been in poor
health for some time past, being
afflicted with kidney trouble, but
was up and attending to work about
his farm as usual the day before
his death, having planned to make
a business trip to Wesson Saturday
morning. Friday night his illness
assumed serious form about mid
night, and before daylight he was
taken with convulsions during one
of which he died about 5 O'Clock
Saturday morning. A report went
out at first that his death was due
to an overdose of morphine, but
this was erroneous. Physicians
say the immediate cause of his
death was uremic poison, due to
disease of the kidneys.
The funeral took place from the
Baptist Church in Brookhaven Sun
day afternoon, Of which deceased
was member, and was conducted
by Pastor R. H. Purser. After the
service at the church, the obsequies
were concluded at Rose Hill ceme-
terry according to the ritual of the
Woodmen of the World, of which
he was a member.
Mr.. Hughes was useful and
influential citizen in the communi-
ty in which he lived and his death
is greatly regretted. He leaves q
widow and nine children. the eldest
about IL or l8 and the youngest be
tween 2 and 3, who have the deep
est sympathy of all who know them.

COTTON MARKETED TOO FREELY.
President lightOwer Suggests That T.
100000 Bales be indefinitely
Retired.

Referring to the great cotton
conference called to meet in Mem
phis and New Orleans during
November--the 18th and 18th
President G. R Hightower, Of the
Mississippi Branch Of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative In
ion, says:
The question is asked on every
hand, What is going to be done at
these meetings?' Of course, no
one can anwser in advance of the
meetings; but it is quite evident
that the whole South is aroused,
and that representatives from every
county in the Cotton Belt will be
in attendance, with suggestions and
plans
Continuing his discussion, Presi-
dent Hightower offers the follow
ing for the consideration of the
general public, and not necessarily
the membership of the Union alone:
/ suggest, for the consideration
of those who attend these meetings,
the retiring of one million bales of
cotton from the market for an in
definite period. Let it be done by
appointing a committee, in whose
hands this cotton shall be placed,
and who shall have absolute power
to hold or sell, as in its judgment
is best. Let the cotton be placed
in the retired list by voluntary sub
scription, every citizen of the
South placing what he feels able to
do in the account. The farmer can
subscribe, say, one fifth of his hold
ings; the merchant, banker and
professional man can buy few
bales at the present low price and
place the same at this account.
This can be done without placing
a burden on anyone. One million
bales ought to be secured with
ease. and one million bales, con-
trolled by committee of intelli-
gent men, will control the price.
This cotton should be placed in the
various warehouses and congresses
throughout the South, and the
warehouse or compress receipts
placed in bank, subject to the order
of the Committee Of Control when
the cotton is sold. Even if this
retired cotton were never sold the
remainder of the crop will bring
more money than the whole crop
would bring, if allowed to drift as
it has been for the past two months.
The world needs and will take
every bale of this crop, including
the retired cotton, at a fair price
before Sept. /, 1909. 7"

was thoroughly broken twice before
planting. Before bedding the sec

of cotton seed meal and 700 pounds
of 16 per cent acid phosphate, to the
acre, was drilled in the center fur
row. The cultivation was shallow,

over one third Of the registered
vote being polled. But for the in

of mill tax levy for the proposed

it was. This question brought out
many who would not otherwise

The county went Democratic by
the usual majority.
The vote on the agricultural high
