TODAY's MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, May 12.--WHEAT-Active re-
alizing sales together with good weather
in the southwest, caused a weak tone at
the opening of the wheat market today.
July wheat opened A@3sc to 9s4Ac lower
at 901sc to 901Rc, and sold at S97sc. May
wheat declined to $3.50. 1t sold yesterday
at $1.05 and closed at $1.0i. Minneapolis.
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of
30 cars.
The market was weak for the greater
part of the day. The low point for May
was $3.50. The low point for July was
S91sc. Later in the session a rally took
place on covering by shorts and all of the
loss was regained. The close was steady
with July A@3sc lower, at 901xc.
CORN-Corn was weak because of clear
weather throughout the corn belt and
sympathy with wheat. July corn opened
va Ac to A@asc lower at $3.50 to 631ac and
sold at 631sc.
Corn prices rallied sharply in the latter
part of the session and July moved up to
64Ac. The close was firm with July asc
higher, at 64Ql641sc.
OATS-The oats market was easy but
prices were steadier than those of wheat
or corn. July oats opened 1sc lower at
1870 and sold at 465sc.
PROVISIONS-The provisions market
was dull and prices were easy In sym
pathy with grain. July pork opened
shade lower at $13.571a and sold at $13.o21s.
Lard was PIC lower at $3.50. Ribs were a
shade lower at $.321247.35.

considerable part of the opening de-

again weakened and drove prices lower

Three erstwhile Republican States
elected Democratic governors and a
couple Democratic States gave elec-
tora1 tickets to Republicans. Ohio,
Minnesota and Indiana while giving
Taft the electoral vote elected Demo-
cratic governors. This causes GER
tain newspapers to talk Of presiden-
tial candidates for the Democrats in
1912.
Harmon, of Ohio, was attorney
general under Cleveland and is elect
ed governor Of Ohio. We hold to our
opinion held in the beginning Of the
campaign this year that John A.
johnson of Minnesota is the man for
the Democrats to nominate. He has
presidential capacities and has the
faculty of winning.
Mr.. Bryan may want the job Of
running again. He is great and
good man but can never be elected
president. John A. Johnson has the
Qualities that win and has the ability
to fill the job.

Among the visitors to the A. R. T.
Synod was Editor J. T. Bigham Of the
Chester Lantern. AS this was his
first visit to Newberry we regret his
duties in synod so absorbed his time
that we could not show him live
and progressive Piedmont city.
In talking Of Chester one thing he
mentioned as the policy Of the city
and county should be adopted as the
policy of all communities that are
taking up the progressive spirit and
doing permanent street and road
work.
The city and county Of Chester
have united in the employment of a
resident civil engineer who lays out
the roads and streets before any per-
manent work is done and then sees
that it is properly done.
The county is utilizing the chain
gang on permanent road work and
bridge building and additional con-
victs are hired from the State and
adjoining counties. AS a result in a
few years several miles Of macadam
roads have been built and without
additional taxation. But before the
work is undertaken the road is laid
out by the engineer and in many
cases the location of the road is
changed and in all cases the grade is
fixed.
As Newberry is starting on the
work of street paving the services OF
an engineer should be secured. It
one had been in charge of the side
walks a better job could have been
had.
The work of street improvement
in Newberry will not stop with the
small contract which has just been
awarded. It is but the beginning and
it is important that this shall be pro-
perly done.

UESHOBA COUNTY.
October 1902 Compared with
October 1908.
The Most Progressive Six Years the Coun
~ has ever Experienced,
Mr. EDITOR AND READERS.

Nl r. EDITOR AND READERS.
Six years ago today. Oct. % s
o'clock. my first canvass Of the
ginneries of Neshoba county was
completed. | returned home
from this trip very much djscour-
aged with the conditions Of my
county.
All remember. we had passed
through a number OF oppressive
years low priced cotton. short
corn crops. long way from mar
ket. rude machinery. and a num-
Der of other thing that added to
the sum OF misery and woe.
In order to appreciate our con-
dition Of today. le,'s first see what
we had in the fall of 1902. First.
discontentment among the peo-
pie generally. Next, the whole
county tied up in debt, with an
assessed valuation Of personal
property OF $3S ,1S9 aud real es-
tate amounting to $707 .G52. max
ing our county worth then
Sl.O93 $40. Our last assessment
shows personal property to be
$9l6.77O and real estate 1874
967 or a total Of 1891, 1871. Note
the difference.
Now, let's step back to March.
1908. The permanent survey Of
the M. j & X. G. was completed
during this mouth across the
county. and actual work soon be-
gun all along the line. What
neXt? That fall, 1903, was one Of
general rejoicing over a good
crop OF every thing, with u price
for our cotton THAI enabled hun
dreds OF our farmers to cancel
old debts that had been hanging
over them for years. | we'll re-
member he glad faces that fall
over the sudden rise in every
thing. Next CONS 1864, with
the largest crop on record, with
an average price of 10 cents.
BY this time the railroad was
an assured fact, which caused
many persons from adjoining
counties to make investments
along the line. In Sept. 1905, as
all remember, the road was COM
pleted. and we We're in touch with
the balance OF the "world". We
now have SIX enterprislng towns
along the line, five of which were
principally inhabited six years
ago by de 'possum and de coon.
In 1902 there We're two tele-
phone lines in the county. now
they are so numerous the boys
can spark by wire.
In 1902 there were over forty
post offices and no r. f. D's.
Now we only have twelve offices
with seventeen r. f. DIS. touch
ing the county.
The number of ginneries are
practically the same as 1902, but
the improvements are far superi-
or. The country has produced
the following amounts of cotton
since 1902:
In 1902 1905 bales,
In 1903 11GO5 bales,
In 1904 16399 bales,
In 1905 10499 bales,
In 1906 12SO7 bales,
In 1907 1866 bales.
or an average of 1880 bales per
year.
There are several other things
that are worthy of mention, but
space will not permit.
In conclusion, | wish to state
that the above is not an intelli-
gent "write up'', but it gives us a
little idea of our growth in the
past six years.
There are three other subjects
OF vast importance to this and
other Mississippi counties which

Iege.
