Happy Thought Of a FOrenO!
Holmes County Citizen.

| The law relative to the care and
keeping Of the county conyicts going
into effect January /. l9O9,,t has sug.
gested to the Board OF Supervisors, to
advertise for proposals, from our citi.|
zens to sell land, near Lexington. in
such quantities as will justify the. me-
cessary expenditure of money to proper
ly care. and safeguard their keeping
has caused several tracts OF . land to
be offered for their consideration, n o
As the new law bars the leasing Of
the county convicts in the future to
individuals or corporations, and, the
spirit of the law being intended to use
said convicts humanely during the
period of their sentence, and while
working out fines imposed on them for
committing minor infractions OF law"
we would therefore suggest, that q
considering propositions offered that
the Board have in mind the purchase
of property that could be improv d by
using the labor of the convicts thereby
enhancing the value of the property,
and that farm be selected near Lex.
ington in order that the Board or
committee from the Board can visit
and inspect the farm at each meeting
of the Board. Owing to the opinion
rendered by the Attorney General, that
the Board had no authority for max
ing regular and continuous allowances
FOR the poor and INDECENT in various
portions of the county suggests that in
making a purchase OF this farm, that
they also have in view q place with
nice woodlawn where .cozy cottages
may be erected with vegetable and
flower gardens and small poultry
yard attached, whore our poor whites
could be properly cared for and where
their wants and necessities could be
met by the labor and product of the
farm, or so far as the product of the
farm would 60. :,
When we consider the fact that the
state of Mississippi has beautified and
equipped Beauvoir for ar old soldiers
home and that the various counties of
the state are making appropriations to
aid the Daughters of the Confederacy
in building an Old Ladies Home.
We think that we'll selected site
should be considered in the purchase of
the farm and that an attractive place
be made and maintained for those of
BUR white citizens, who are so unfor-
tunate as not to be able to care for
or cannot be cared for by
those who are bound to them by tie of
relationship. Improvements of this
character could be made gradually and
IS necessity demanded Such an in
ititution with the proper man in
;harge would reflect credit upon our
county and its citizenship

Board Will Buy at August Term.

In the matter Of the county convict
farm, the board of supervisors have
decided to adopt the ancient plan of
making haste slowly" About a
dozen bids, from various parts of the
county, were examined at the last
meeting but the board concluded to
advertise for further bids and defer
action until the August meeting. 1t
is understood that quite a number of
additional bids will be submitted,
aftording the board ample opportuni-
ties of making satisfactory selection
for this permanent institution.

SURGICAL SUCCESS.
-Four Ounces of Brains Removed
Without Imparing Any One
Of the Senses.

NEW YORK, May l5.-With four
ounces Of his brain removed, Jacob
Ritz, p years old Of Brooklyn, is
preparing to leave St. Mary's Hos
pital, apparently in good health and
in possession Of all his faculties. The
operation was performed by the sur
geons Of the hospital and is regarded
as being entirely satisfactory. Ritz
shot himself in the head with re-
volver on April 3, the bullet entering
the side OF his head. A tumor form
ed between the brain and the wall OF
the skull and pressed upon the
frontol lobes.
In removing this it was found
necessary to take out about four
ounces Of brain matter. Because OF
the course the bullet had taken it was
believed that Ritz's senses Of sight
and taste had been impaired. Tests,
however, showed that these had not
been affected.

EXTRADITIoN TREATY.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-An ex-
tradition treaty between the United
States and Portugal was the subject
of nearly three hours debate in exc
suiye session Of the senate yesterday,
the discussion finally turning on the
subject Of state rights.
The treaty contains a provision
which stipulates that criminal ex-
1radited from Portugal shall not be
subject to capital punishment.
Senator Teller raised the point that
to ratify the treaty with such a pro-
vision would be to say that man
guilty Of first degree murder could
not be executed if such man had
taken refuge in Portuguese territory
and later was surrendered to the
United States under the treaty.
Other senators on the democratic
side took the same stand. Several
Republican senators likewise criti-
xised the provision. The treaty went
uver. A naturalization treaty with
Portugal was ratified.

Advance in Freight Rates Fig
ured at SITS Per Head
PUBLIC is BEING AROUSED
The Railroads Shared Bountifully IN
the Prosperity Of the Last 10 Years
Let Them Pay Their Share OF the
Nations Reduced Income.

CHICAGO, May l5-Just what the
advance in freight rates proposed by
the eastern railroads within the ter
ntory Of the official classification
territory alone, which comprises the
section east OF the Mississippi river
and north of the Ohio, viii mean in
increased cost OF living is set forth in
= table Of statistics by the Illinois
Manufacturers Association. The table,
together with leagal opinions and re-
communications, will be presented to-
day at the conference here OF repre-
sentatives OF fifty Of the largest in
dustriaI organizations OF the east and
middle west
The railroads propose TO tax every
man. woman and child in the country
SIS a head" is the first contention
set forth. That is just why the Hi
uois Manufacturers Association has
called the conference on railroad rates.
The increase contemplated will raise
the present gross freight revenue OF
the roads in the Official classification
territory from approximately Sl,Oo0,-
$4,000 10 Sl.140,000,U0.
There are 100000 people in the
rountry, 80 each one will be called on
to contribute Sis per annum TO cof-
fers Of the railroads. This is in ever
age Of So.33 from each family, or al
most twice as much as the average
family pays in taxes and more than
ne average contribution to religious
purposes. 1t would pay the average
mans life insurance for six months,
buy food for his family for over ten
days.
III the railroads are losing money
70 are the shippers and so are the
working men who are out Of work or
On short time. What we propose IS
that this conference viii result in
ruusing the public 50 that the rail-
roads will be forced to abandon their
selfish policy Of attempting to shift
all the burden Of hard times on the
shoulders Of the public The railroads
shared bountifully in the prosperity
sE the last ten years. Let them now
Vzy their share of the nations re-
arced income"
