MISSISSIPPI SHOULD POLL 4 WRY
LARGE VOTE.

Last Monday afternoon Hon. G. VI
Williams, member Of the National
Democratic Executive Committee
for this State, received a very en-
%couraging telegram from Chairman
Norman f Mack az 10 the prospects
Of eIecting Bryan and Kern next
Tuesday. Mr., Mack urges the i'm
portance Of every Democrat going
10 the polls and casting his vote in
order that Bryan's popular vote
may be az large as possible, and
Mr.. Williams also writes a strong
appeal to the voters OF Mississippi
TO the same effect.
Below we publish the letter Of Mr..
Williams and Mr. Mack's telegram:
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1908-10-30

For the third time, the supreme
court has upheld the constitution
atty of the depository law, passed
by the last Legislature, and in the
third decision a Knockout blow was
given Treasurer Edwards, the small
bore politician who has charge Of
the states funds. Edwards has
been refusing to accept surety bonds
as collateral on which to let out
money, even after the governor and
attorney general had voted in favor
OF accepting them as the law directs.
Supported in his contention by a
few second rate newspapers, and
bolstered up by his ambition to be
governor some day, Edwards erup-
tions in the daily press excited ribald
merriment among the reporters and
a mingled feeling of pity, ridicnIe
and contempt in the mind of the
public. The contention of Ed
wards has caused the stat to lose
the interest that several banks stood
willing to pay for their share Of the
states money, and Gov. Ncei's
opinion is that Edwards is liable for
this sum We believe there ia no
doubt that the governor is correct,
but if Edwards will promise TO stay
mum in the future we are in favor
of letting him off this time. with the
parting hope that the reading pub.

According to the dramatic critics
of New York City, the hit of the
season, in that metropolis, has been
"A Gentleman from Mississippi
containing much local coloring, and
having as a hero, a supposed sena-
tor, from our commonwealth. The
play was written avowedIy, in the
interest or reform and for the pur-
pose of discouraging graft in the
seats OF the mighty. 1t is intimated
rather broadly by the critics that
our newly elected senator, John
Sharp Williams, furnishedth model
for the hero, and Mississippi should
feel proud that amid the charges of
corruption that fill the air she can
furnish a man whose record is I'M
assailable, and whose hands are
clean enough to proclaim him as a
hero and model of honesty and fair
dealing. 'Rah for John Sharp

no more true or more loyal any
where on earth.
| cannot too strongly urge our
people TO cast a full vote one lection

in Mr., Mack's telegram, which
should appeal to every Democrat,
but also for the further reason that
the very light vote in the Southern

the voters of your state to be active

HOW TO GROW COTTON N SPITE OF
BOIL MfM.

/. Reduce the acreage in cotton
to facilitate rapid cultivation.
2. Plant land IN cotton that ma.
lures the crop early. New land or
very fertile bottom land should not
be planted in cotton in poll weeyil
districts.
3 Thoroughly ~pulrerize the soil
a little deeper than it has ever been
before. A thorough preparation of
the soil is absolutely essential to
success
4. The rows must be wide enough
to give the IN access to every part
OF the stalk and especially to the
Punctured squares when they fall
off. The sun will dry and parch
the punctured squares that fall of
so that very few of the weevil eggs
deposited in them will hatch out.
5. Use fertilizer that contains a
large per cent. of acid phosphate.
The acid phosphate hastens matnri-
ty. advise the use of a mixture of
1900 pounds of l6 per cent. acid
phosphate and 700 pounds of cotton
seed meal, or a mixture of 700
pounds OF l6 per cent. acid phos-
phate and 1900 pounds cotton seed.
g.. Plant the earliest maturing
varieties of cotton seed between
March goth and April 9Th. Cooks
Improved, Kings Early, Triumph
and Tooles are recommended as the
best varieties TO plant.
I. Frequent and shallow cultiva-
ton must be the rule. The crop
must not be permitted to suffer for
cultivation.
s. Born cotton and corn stalks,
dead grass, trash, and trees as soon
as the cotton is all picked. Burn
around the stumps, burn out fence
corners, and burn off the woods
around the fields.
s. Plow the land deep as soon
after burning off stalks. etc as pos
slble. A great many boil weevils
will be buried too deep for resurrec-
lion in the spring,
A substantial compliance with the
above rules will enable US to grow
cotton in the presence Of the boil
weevil.

The cananea Railway.

Work on the Cananea railway is progressing satisfactorily, and the rails are laid now beyond the Santa Barbara ranche, which is some eighteen miles from Nogales. The grade is practically completed to San Lazaro, forty miles distant from Nogales, and the rails will be laid to that place within week or two. When San Lazaro is reached the line will be half finished, and as there are twenty kilometers graded on the other end, from Del Rio westward, it will be seen that there will be but about forty-five kilometers of grading to complete before the terraplane will be ready for all the rails. As the concession gives until September to complete the road, it is plain now that there Is no farther need of haste, and 1t is stated that the work will be done more leisurely than heretofore. Several of the sub b-contractors, with their forces, have been removed to the Guadalajara extension, and there are but two grading camps on the line now. Those forces can take care of the remainder of the work in ample time to admit of laying the rails into Del Rio within the schedule time.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, March 6, 1908.- Cattle supply here this week has been about the same as last week, 34,000 head, and the market has advanced 10 to 20 cents on killing stuff, all kinds now standing at the top prices of the winter. Cobra do was very well represented this week, beef steers selling at $4.60 to $5.45, stockers $3.S5 to $4.45 cows $3 .25 to $400, heifers $3.80 to $4.- 40, feeders $4.00 to $4 90, bulls $3.- 25 to $4.05, calves $3.75 to $500. Oklahoma was also we'll represent ed, the various classes selling about like above quotations, while steers fed below the quarantine line went mostly at $4.35 to $520. Cows and heifers are in limited supply which is nearly always the case at this season. Stockers and feeders have been quiet this week, without any noticeable change in prices. The general market is closing better to- day than either of the two preced- ing weeks have closed, as buyers anticipate light receipts next week, with probably higher prices.
 Sheep and lambs have advanced 15 to p cents this week, under the 1 influence of the light run of 30,OOC head. Cheapness of pork is having a bad effect on the mutton trade
 but small receipts have more than
