vival, which will begin March 18th.
Rev. Geo. c. Gates, who is well
known in this city, will conduct the
revival, and an effort will be made
to form a national organization
With this end in view, different
towns in Tennessee, Arkansas and
Mississippi have been asked to send

A BUSY WEEK.

Jackson is always center OF IN
terest during the legislative session.
and all eyes will be focused on the
Capital City this week. Many i'm
portant bills are to come up, and on
the fate of these bills the fondest
hopes and desires of many people de-
pend. The first few weeks that the
legislature is in session is what would
be termed in theatrical parlance "a
preliminary season The time is
devoted to skirmishes and mental ex-
ploring expeditions. in order that the
advocates of important measures can
find out how the members stand be-
fore formulating their views into
bills and allowing the documents to
go before the lawmakers for ratifica-
tion or rejection.
About the only really important
measure that has so far been finally
acted upon was that creating statu-
tory prohibition. There never was
anv doubt about the fate of this bill.
The sentiment in favor of prohibition
has been growing ia Mississippi just
as it has in the other Southern states,
and the bill passed without a fight
and practically without opposition.
Now. however. the legislature has
reached the point in its deliberations
where bills on which there is diyi-
sion Of opinion viii come up Take,
for instance. the child labor bill.
While the friends Of the children, led
bv that noble band Of women, the
Kings Daughters, are striving TO Sc
cure the passage Of bill placing
rigid restrictions around child labor,
many prominent men of the State
think that the passage of the bill
would be a mistake They claim that
few children work in Mississippi, and
that therefore the time for legisia-
ton on this subject is not yet ripe.
The bin will come up for final action
Thursday, and a hard fought battle Is
being anticipated.
Another very important measure
that comes up this week will be the
elective judiciary bill. This measure
provides that Justices of the supreme
court. circuit judges and chancellors
be nominated in the primaries, the
same as other State officers are nom
mated 1t will be remembered that
the people were allowed to vote on
the question of an elective judiciary
several years ago, but the measure
was lost on a technicality. Accord
ing to the present plan, the elective
judiciary system is to be incorporated
in the statutes without the necessity
of submitting constitutional amend
ment to the people, and the plan
seems to meet with general favor.

TOOLS OF COMMERCE.

The following from the New york
American should be interesting TO
those people who declare that the
railroads should be let alone" The
railroads themselves are responsible
for their present condition. As Mr..
Roosevelt pertinently says: If 1t
hurts business to expose an unjust
imposition upon the public, it will
hurt more. later, if the knife is not
nut into it now" That is, perhaps,
not the exact language, but it is the
sense of it.

says editorially:
While one school of politics, not
confined to either party, taught that
the Octopus chase is just begun, the
country is admonished by practical
men that it is imperative that
$4,000, 100000 be raised by The rail
roads now in operation for improve

for additional rolling stock. Tn this
estimate is no provision for exten-

The legislature has passed Dill
requiring every sheriff in the State
to keep a pack of blood hounds at
the county Jail. This is a good law,
for blood hounds, like fire engines,
are not used very often but when
they are needed the need is urgent,
and there is no time to telephone TO
a neighboring county for a pack Of
'.nigger chasers," a term which was
generally applied to dogs Of this
character before the civil war.

Leslie NJ Shaw, who only short
time ago visited the South as a press
agent for Roosevelt, now tacitly ad-
mits that he is no longer in sympathy
with the president or his policies In
an interview at Chicago the other
day, Mr.. Shaw was asked if he be-
lieved in the policies Of the admin
istration candidate and replied
Taft has no policies. IN other
words, he intimated that should the
big secretary be elected president
Roosevelt would still be the guiding
hand at the throttle and engineer the
government according to his own
ideas. Verify, Roosevelt has offend
ed so many prominent Republicans
that it is hard to conceive how he
can retain his grip on the party much
longer.

BEST TINE TO WATER HORSES.

A horse should be watered before
feeding. and never given large
quantity Of water after q meal, for
the simple reason that the water will
wash the food out Of the stomach be.
fore stomach digestion has taken place
and the food will not be prepared for
absorption; and besides 1t Is some
times the cause of collie.
There Ia popular idea that q
warm horse should not be allowed to
drink and, unlike great many
other popular ideas, there is little
truth in 1t. II you water warm
horse In the ordinary way. letting
him drink what he wants, you are
likely to have foundered horse on
your hands. This 10 especially SO II,
at the time, the horse is fatigued.
Neve rtheless, 1t is always safe to al.
low him from SIX to ten sWalloWs, no
matter how warm he is. II this be
given on going into the stable and he
be allowed to stand and eat hay for
an hour and Ia then offered water, he
will not drink nearly 30 much as he
would had none been given him be-
fore.
The danger is not in the first swsl-
low, - we often hear 1t asserted, but
in the excessive quantities he will

dangerous time to give a horse a
