STATE LINE.

State Line, Miss. June l 1908.
1t has been long time since I've
seen anything in the HERALD
from this place so l give a few
dots.
Everything is moving along alright
in this section of country.
The farmers are all getting
along fine with their crops since
the rain has Stacked up. They
have got the best of the grass and
their crops all look fine.
guess there will be some more
Of those people that will be hunting
lizards again pretty soon. Rose
Bud is asking where they are. He
said that he was a snipe hunter
guess he has good luck finding
them when he comes up to Ezell's,
for he has to come through an aw-
full fiat and that is the place to find
such things as snipe.
Say Rose Bud did you worry your
self very much the other day when
you helped j. II. raise that dead
mule.
Have any of you people there
in Leakesville seen anything that
looked like a fish boat floating
down the river.
j. H. Ezell has lost his fish boat
and is looking all over the swamps
for it | am awful sorry for Mr..
Ezell but can't cry for laughing.
With best wishes to both HER
AID and reader.

BALL.

Ball, Miss, June l 1908. Dear
Readers:- Will give you an idea
of what we have been doing at Ball.
1t has seemed awfully dull for
the past week as we have had our
Children's day and miss having to
practice for it so much, but it is
very consoling to know that our
efforts were not fruitless as it was
the best one we have ever had.
Our pastor was absent on ac-
count of his wife illness, but din
ner was served at the church and in
the afternoon the young folks pass
ed the time away very pleasantly
by having a song service. We
were some what surprised to see
Mr.. Joe Daughdrille and brother
and Mr.. David Eubanks there as it
had been suchs long time since they
had made their appearance here be-
fore. Come again.
The people of Sweetwater are
having jolly good time judging
from littlefmessage received from
here today.
Miss Belle Ball, Mr.. Calvin Ball
and Mrs. Mary James were the
ones who witnessed the closing ex-
ercises of Mr.. A. G. Ferguson S
School at Rocky Greek Saturday and
reports a jolly good time
Miss Lottie Ball has her new P. O.
Cabinet which looks more like bus
mess to me.
Mr.. G. C. Ball and family were
visions at Mr.. w. w. Balls Thur
sday last.
Misses Lottie and Alice Ball will
soon make their departure for Gulf
port where they will spend awhile
with friends and relatives.
Will not detain the readers long
this time. Goodbye.

a number of influential Quakers were
coming. The baggage man conceived
the idea that if the visitors thought
he, too. was a Quaker business might
be helped thereby. Consequently. up
on the arrival of the delegation at the
station the leader was greeted by the
baggage man, who solicitously asked:
Has thou the checks for thou bag.

Quakers smiled.

How to Deal with the Problem {
Railroad capitalization.

First. The Government should
express, affirmatively and negative
ly, the purpose for which an inter
state carrier may Issue stocks bonds
or notes.
Second. The directors of the
road proposing to issue securities
should make a record of such pro-
posed issue on the minutes of the
corporation to which a majority of
the directors shall subscribe.
Third. This statement signed
individually by each of the direc-
tors, and sworn to personally by
each, should be sent to a designated
official of the federal Government,
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission perhaps.
Fourth. An annual report sworn
to by a majority of the directors
should be sent to the same body,
stating with particularly how such
securities were disposed of, the
proceeds resulting, and their use.
Fifth. The Government should
through its special agents, have d.
rect access to all books and accounts
of the railroads, - and by law they
may keep only such books, accounts
or memoranda as the Interstate
Commerce Commission shall au-
thorize, and are permitted to de-
stroy none, make investigation of
these issues, expenditures, ETC., as
often as may be deemed advisable.
Sixth. The deviation in any
particular from the original declar-
alton of intention made at the time
of the issuance Of the securities,
either in thir form, character, rate
of interest or otherwise, or from
the uses expressly stated at such
time as to which proceeds Of such
securities were to be put, or the
issuance of any securities for any
purpose which the law does not
authorize, or the failure to report
accurately and fully whatever the
law requires, or otherwise to COM
ply with the provisions Of the law,
should subject directors personally
to such term of Imprisonment as
the law may prescribe. From
Railroad Capitalization and Fed
eral Regulation, by Franklin K.
Lane in the American Review of
Reviews for June.
