THE LIVE STOCK BOARD.

The Mississippi Live Stock San
itary board organized in jackson
last week by the selection of Hon.
H. S. Blakeslee as chairman and
DR.. Archibald Smith as secretary,
will hold its next meeting at Hol-
ly Springs on April 18th. at
which time the work of eradica-
ting the cattle tick will be active
ly commenced.
In cooperation with the bureau
of animal husbandry, United
States department of agriculture,
the board expects to accomplish
some substantial results within
the present year. The board has
an appropriation of only 5000
per annum, but it is expected
that the federal government will
spend from 500, 900 to $25, 900 in
similar work in this state.
In order to bring about the de-
sired results it will be absolute
ly necessary for the live stock
sanitary board to secure the act
i've co-operationrand assistance
of every farmer, both large and
small, and with this ed in view
public addresses will be deliver
ed by the members, circulars is
sued, and the assistance of the
Farmers Union and the Missis-
sippi Cotton Association asked.
The dipping and greasing of
cattle is reconized as the only
effective method. Each. farmer
will be urged to divide his pas
lures, keeping cattle in one sec
ton for a period of five months
until the ticks are starved. and
making liberal use of a mixture
of kerosene and grease where
animals are already infected.
The details of the work will be
fully explained in the circulars
to be issued within a few days.

HINTS ON ROAD WORK.

U. S. Office of Public Roads Tells How
to Wake and Maintain a Model Earth
Road.
While American road builders
are as capable of constructing
good roads as those of any coun-
try of the old world, they have
not been as loyalty supported as
the men of those countries in
maintaining the highways after
completion, and the deplorable
state of many thousand miles Of
road is thus accounted for.
County and township officials
may at the outset stand the ex-
pense of having the road built,
but they strenuously object when
asked to provide funds to rebuild
the road that has been allowed
to 60 to ruin.
It is important that farmers
learn of the benifits to be deriv-
ed from good earth roads; that
county boards be impressed with
the need of a proper mainten-
ance of the same, and that road
builders and overseers learn how
best to care for the roads in their
charge.

The result of the state prlma-
ry election in Arkansas, in which
Jeff Davis candidate for gov
ernor, Gen. Kirby, was badly
defeated by George w. Dona-
ghey, has given general salts
faction to outsiders. Davis has
been the political boss of every
thing and everybody in Arkan-
sas a long time. He has been
able to secure his own election
to any position and also to name
the candidates in the primaries
for the other places, thus play
ing the role of supreme dictator.
Two years ago he took the stump
for senator and. routed Senator
Berry, one of the best and ablest
men in the senate, and at the
same time carried Congressman
Little as a handicap for the gov.
ernorship. Both won hands
down.. The people failed to heeo
him in the last primary and the
man he Sought to defeat won by
a large majority. If the voters
of the state will only keep the
good work going and shut the
door in Davis face when he
asks for reelection to the senate
they will do themselves and the
country at large a lasting ben.
fit.

While Bret Knox, an indus
trious young farmer living in
Pontotoc county, was digging a
ditch on his farm he unearthed
a vessel containing 81. 600in gold
and some green backs and Con-
federate bills, that had been so
soaked with water that they
crumbled into ashes before their
original value could be known.
Mr.. Knox, who is about %
years old, has lived in the local.
ity where he found this treasure
all his life, and thinks the mo-
ney must have been buried by
the occupants of the farm to
conceal it from capture when
Grerson made his famous raid
through the county during the
Civil war, the original owner be-
ing now long since dead.
Mr.. Knox becomes owner of
this neat find by virtue of dis
covery, and will keep and use
his treasure as he likes.

COUNTY CONVICT BILL.

Attorney General R. V. Fetch
er received a request from Mad
inson county for an official ruling
on the question of whether the
Hebron bill passed at the recent
session Of the legislature abolish
ing the county convict leasing
system will abrogate existing
contracts,
In reply to the inquiry the at
torney general cites section 26 Of
the act which provides that the
law shall not apply to existing
contracts. In other words, in
counties where the prisoners
are now leased to contractors,
these leases will not be abrogated
by the new law.
This clause was inserted for
the purpose of allowing boards
of supervisors ample time to
make their arrangements to pur-
chase convict FARMS, and, in
counties where the average num-
Der of convicts is not sufficient
to maintain a farm, to join with
adjacent counties in purchasing
land for this purpose, and oper-
ating a farm on cooperative bas-
is.
While it is generally conceded
that the Hebron bill will cause
financial loss to some counties,
owing to the fact that they have
a small average number of con-
victs, it is believed that the loss
will be only temporary in char
acter, and that they can quickly
adjust themselves to the new or.
der of things. The county con-
victs are now leased in about
two-thirds of the counties of the
state. Jackson News.

The present is the first wee

The present is the first week
with open, favorable weather for
farming. Preparation for cot
ton and corn planting is under
Roadway on uplands but the low
lands continue wet. A few
farmers have planted corn for
early maturing, the best early
varieties being selected, with
the view of having corn for
bread and stock as early in the
season as possible.

The Vicksburg Herald and

some of the citizens of Vicks-
burg are condemning Gov. Noel
for appointing DR.. Johnson over
their candidate, DR.. Martin, as
Superintendent of the Vicksburg
State Hospital. If the governor
is confined in his selections to
the endorsement of other people
the right of appointment is linn
tied to to the whims of other
people. We know nothing of
the comparative merits of the
aspirants for the place, but the
governor did right in naming the
man he thought should be placed
in charge of the Vicksburg Hos
pital.

Congressman Littlefeld has
resigned because the pay of a
congressman is too small. When
the salary was recently raised
from S., 900 to 81, 500 we thought
that would satisfy any sort of a
politician, Littlefeld ought to
run for president of the steel
trust or get to be an expert for
a mining company.

The anti-Bryan sentiment
which is reported from Washing
ton to be gradually taking shape
seems to be confined to a coterie
of politicians around the capital.
State committees continue to en-
dorse Mr.. Bryan and the conven-
tons later on will send up solid
Bryan delegations. The latest
endorsement of him comes from
North Dakota.
