N. @. G. N. to Enter Jackson.

All details preliminary to the entry of
the New Orleans Great Northern rail
road trains into this city over the tracks
of the Illinois Central lave been defin-
itely settled, and physical connection
will be made at a point some three miles
down the line. The details were finally
decided upon at a joint meeting between
the general superintendent of both sys-
tens, Harold Newhart for the Illinois
Central, and N. G.. Pearsall for the
Goodyear road, who visited the place
which is to become the functional point,
in company with staff engineers of the
two systems. The right of way has been
all cleared and in a few weeks more the
grading and t~rack-laying will be COM
pleted, and it is no dream that by or
shortly after January 1, 1909, the blasts
of the Great Northern whistles will be
mingling with those of others entering
the capital city of Mississippi.

Harriman's S26O.OQO.

AS we understand that Mr.. Roose-
velt's defense of the Hartman. cam
paign contribution
/. 1t was entirely proper. for Mr..
Roosevelt to solicit this money, be-
cause he intended to bunco Hartman
and did bunco him.
2. Secrecy was necessary because
Mr.. Roosevelt's motives might have
been misconstrued by low-minded per-
sons who would see in the transaction
a sOrdid attempt on the part Of Har-
riman to control the. presidency
through the use Of tainted money.
8. Publicity of such a contribution
before election might have thwarted
the high purpose of Mr.. Roosevelt in
separating Hartman from his money
without giving him anything in re-
turn.
4. Other presidential candidates
should never be permitted to engage
in similar negotiations, because v
were they sufficiently patriotic to re-
pudiate the moral obligation they
would not be sufficiently practical to
deceive a man like Hartman.
5. The fact that it was Theodore
Roosevelt who did this is a complete
answer to all hostile criticism.
Having defended the contribution,
perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt will now TX
plain just how the money was used,
as Hartman said, to turn $4,000 votes
in the eelction.

The WEIGHT Of Responsibility.

Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic party
can find satisfaction in the thought
that they will not be responsible for
government during the next four
years. President Roosevelt expressed
the opinion that it would be hazardous
to intrust them with power. Now the
Republican party must assume the
great undertaking of restoring pros.
perity, getting control Of the trusts
and monopolies and bringing conf
dence back to that part of the popula.
ton which has felt that power has
slipped from the hands Of the many
to the few. The Republican party has
before demonstrated that it is capable
of administering government and
meeting crises. 1t will now again be
put to the test. We do not believe
that Mr.. Bryan will envy it the task.
To accomplish this it will need to rele.
gate to the rear those party leaders
and all others who have forgotten the
people.

Stick to the Point.

What did this campaign for the pres
idential success mean? Under
meath and back of the Fictitious and
personal scandals which President
Roosevelt has inspired and proclaimed
there is the real meaning Of this
election. 1t is the substitution of the
rule of the people for the rule of trusts
and m~onopolies.
This is the point. the essence OF
the Democratic position. The people
want a revision of the tariff that shall
make for easier living and better
wages. They want relief from the
burden of carrying the Philippines as
q satrapy when our national system
recognizes only free government. They
want an accommodation of national
expenditure to national income that
shall avoid the taxation of labor to
meet bureaucratic extravaganza.
These, and other things which Mr..
Roosevelt ignored in his booming OF
the Taft candidacy, our people want.
Can the interest of the people be d.
verted from these matters to the petty,
Insignificant pretexts OF the Republic

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget of State News Items Gathered by Our Special
Correspondent at Jackson. -
Wants Its CO lateral.

A letter received by the State depos.
itory commission from the First Ma
tional Bank of Greenwood, indicates that
another of the repositories would with
draw it's collateral from the State treas
ury. The bank in question sent, accom-
panying the letter, a surety bond, such
as a majority of the commission, backed
up by the supreme court, has held must
be accepted if rendered, in lieu or col
lateral securities Of a more substantial
nature, and which they asked permission
to substitute for the original securities.
Gov. Noel wrote Cashier Purcell, of the
Greenwood First National, returning the
surety bond and stating that the attor-
~ney-general has held hitherto that a de-
pository rendering securities other than
Il surety bond cannot be permitted to
exchange for the latter, and so the COM
mission cannot see its way to meet the
REQUEST of his bank. The only step that
the institution can take in order to Sc
cure its collateral now on deposit is to
send in it's resignation, such as has been
done by other banks hitherto, and which
the commission has no option, except to
accept the withdrawal. This bank had
placed about $4,000 in good securities
with the State treasurer, and had received
it's proportionate share of the cash in
the general distribution last summer.

"Wild"

The English method of preserving is
worthy of note because, in the first
place, the season lasts sc much longer
than ours. All through the fall and
we'll into the winter, the English
housewife is busy putting up" fruit
and by fruit she understands many
things which an American woman
would scorn-rowan berries, hips or
haws. Anything which grows on road
side hedges she boils with sugar for
a conserve, a relish or even a medi-
cine. The rowan berry is fruit Of the
mountain ash, and is much valued in
England as a wine. The hip is merely
the calyx Of the rose, and from this
and the simple hawthorn berry a rich
and palatable jelly is made. The hip
is also much valued as a medicine.

NO SKIN LEFT ON BODY.
For Six Months Baby Was Expected
to Die with Eczema-Now Well
Doctor Said to Use Cuticura.

"Six months after birth my little girl
broke out with eczema and l had two
doctors In attendance. There was not
a particle of skin left on her body, the
blood oozed out just anywhere, and we
had to wrap her in silk and carry her
on a pillow for ten weeks. She was the
most terrible sight l ever saw, and for
six months 1 looked for her to die. I
used every known remedy to allevi-
ate her suffering, for it was terrible
to witness. DR.. c. gave her up. DR..
B recommended the Cuticura
Remedies. She will soon be three
years old and has never had a sign
of the dread trouble since. We used
about eight cakes Of Cuticura Soap
and three boxes Of Cuticura Ointment.

A Word on Tomatoes.

"Love-apples," so they called them
40 years ago, and nobody thought OF
eating them! They were by some
considered poisonous, and the most
our grandmothers would do was to use
them on the mantel for ornament.
But nowadays we use them in
a variety of ways, and no soup, no
stew, no sauce but what is improved
by a dash of tomatoes. We scallop
them, stuff and bake them, fry them
and as a salad they are a summer
standby.
Escalloped with cheese and onion
they are delicious, and they combine
nicely with corn, either in alternate
layers in a baking dish or whole,
stuffed with the corn. They are pro-
nounced in a variety of ways-tomah-
toes, tomatoes, and just plain toma-
toes. The new dictionary gives the
preference to the last.

"TRUST BUSTING" A FARCE.
Corporations Continue to Laugh at Ef
forts to Regulate Them.

Judicial decision that the American
Tobacco Company is a trust and has
been and is operating in restraint of
trade is a typical triumph for the trust
busters. They maintained that it was
an unlawful trust, and it is. The court
said so. But the application for a re-
ceiver was denied and there will be no
other action taken until the case has
been decided on appeal. So, no mat
ter how much the tobacco trade is sub.
Ject to Illegal restraint, at least a ear,
probably two and possibly three years,
must elapse before the license granted
it by the court to. continue its illegal
and, doubtless, illicit career will ex-
pire.
By the time the case has been de-
cided on appeal the trust will have
discovered a method of reorganization
which will meet the requirements of
the law. 1t may pass from a collec-
ton of corporations operating under
agreement and single management to
a single corporation owning every
thing that the combination now owns.
It's simple enough.
The beef trust was busted in the
same way. Every time a man pays
30 cents a pound for an 1S-cent steak
he is reminded that the beef trust was
not busted" but disciplined and for
ever enjoined from doing such things
again. 1t will not be very long before
every trust has been busted" and
what will poor robin do then if he
wants to be elected to office?

Belt Line for Jackson.

Agents representing a syndicate are
now engaged in securing damage waiv-
ers preliminary to the construction of a
belt line railway in Jackson. The agents
have met with uniform success in their
undertaking. 1t is understood that the
new syndicate is working under a fran
chise granted by the city council some
time ago, and it is the intention to get
construction werk under way during the
early part of the new year. Home and
foreign capital is interested, and several
of the leading bastsess men of the city
are among the stockholders. For four
or five years the belt line railway prof.
ect has been more or less seriously con-
sidered, and the a%ldermanic body has
granted two or three franchises, but this
is the first semblance of action of seri-
Gus character. The promoters decline
to allow their names to be made public,
but state that they will fully outline
their plans as soon as details are per-
fected.

Talk on the Weevil.

j. A. Evans, of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, was in Jackson
Kinds county about the boil weevil. He
made a plain, anvarpished statement of
the conditions existing in the weevil-in-
fected districts of Texas and Louisiana
and predicted that the same conditions
would be found in Mississippi in another
year or two unless the farmers and land
owners took time by the forelock and
did what is necessary for the eradication
of the pests. He advised early planting
of early varieties of cotton, and that all
stalks be burned during the winter
months, as by that method millions of
eggs and many old insects are destroyed.

Wants Law Enforced.

of the Mississippi statutes requiring rail-
roads to keep their waiting rooms open
one hour before train time and properly
lighted and heated has been filed in the
circuit court of Kinds county by DIR.
S. d. Redmond, a negro physician of this
city, against the Illinois Central rail
road.
Plaintiff asserts that on the 18th of
November, 1907, he was at Walden, Miss,
and went to the depot fully an hour be-
fore train time and purchased a ticket
to Jackson; that the waiting room
to which he was assigned was dark and
~fireless, although the night was bitterly
cold; that he called the attention of the
agent to this fact and asked him to pro-
vide fire and light for the waiting room,
but the agent curtly refused to do SO.

be as liberal as possible in their offer

need a more liberal measure of support

years, owing to the largely increased en-

JACKSON.
Battle for Booze,

A liquor case of more than the usual
interest was before Police Justice Allen
Thompson in the city court Wednesday
morning, when the question of owner
ship of several hundred dollars worth of
liquors seized from the club rooms of the
Firemen's club was up.
Several members of the club, with
their attorneys, were present, and had,
on Monday, filed a formal claim for the
liquors, or for a part of them, and owing
to a misunderstanding of some sort, the
attorneys for the club are under the
impression that Judge Thompson had
granted them until Wednesday to per-
feet their claims, while Judge Thompson
himself has a different view of it. lie
holds that he cannot waive the statute
which gives only five days in which to
file a claim, and as the five days expired
Monday night, and there are several
cases of the booze" unclaimed, the police
justice has ordered all except that spe-
officially claimed, to be destroyed.
One interesting question raised in con-
n%ection with the proposed destruction
of the liquors is that of whether a po-
lice justice, whose jurisdiction is equal
only to that of a justice of the peace,
can destroy liquors where the value ex-
ceeds 5000, that being the limit. of his
jurisdiction in civil cases involving prop
erty. Judge Thompson, relying on the
provision which deprives liquor kept il
legally for sale of all property rights,
holds that such liquors may be destroyed,
no matter what their value.
