 Columbus. Miss. March 4.-(Special) The Southern Railway in Mississippi has put up a novel plea to evade the law limiting the time which telegraph operators and trainmen shall remain on duty. The officials declare that as the company's operators work only within the borders of Mississippi. and as 1t has it's legal domicile within the commonwealth. 1t is not an interstate line. and therefore not amenable to Congress.
 This morning there came from Su- perintendent Pigford a telegram which stased that the road was not affected by the law and that both trainmen and telegraph operators would continue to work the same number of hours as heretofore.

How They Register.
Look Out, Bird Hunters.

Reports are circulating here that
parties have been out bird hunting in
this county. This is undoubtedly
true because it has been the case from
time immemorial.
Abbeville now has a game warden,
and the sentiment of the majority of
the people stands for UNFOLDING the
game law. No one is allowed ohunt
patridges before the 18th of Novem-
Der in this county.
Mr.. Hiram Lawson is game war
den. and he expects to see to it that
the law is enforced, and futher he
will be backed by the law abiding
people of this county in its enforce
ment.
No one has a right to break this
law any more than he has the right
to break any other law. If you 60
hunting before the 18th of Novem-
Der you are amenable to the law and
should be punished.
The Audubon Society has it's eyes
open. Do you know its members ?
They are watching you, so look out,
hunters.

King. 1t seems that this IS q correct cogno
men judging from bis marvellous prosperity
and success In growing the staple. Mr.. Bur.
nett states that his highest yield has been
25 bales on 225 acres, though he has made az
much as three bales on one acre.
Mr.. Burnert is o the owner OF about l ,0O(
acres of pan handle land, some OF which he
lust staked of and much OF which cost him
less thai ten dollars per acre. He would not

State he had things bis own way for neigh.
bors were from eight TO fifteen miles apart
II had not be. n demonstrated that cotton,
corn and such crops could be successfully
grown In that part Of Texas. In later years
people have moved In, n the value OF the
lands having been demonstrated prices, have
gone out OF sight.
Mr.. Burnett left thisc county about IS years
ago. He stayed In other sections OF Texas
for a year or two and moved into the Pan
handle about Is years ego. He was known
here as one of the hardest workers In the
county.
MI, Burnett married Miss Elizabeth Wad-
kins, daughter Of Mr.. Wilson Watkins OF the
Lower Long Cane section. They were neigh
bors. In all his work this good woman has
stood by him. 1t was a known fact that her
faith er's heart was even larger than bis purse.
His children are like him in this, and too,
they have that energy that. characterized
him TO the day OF bis death.

Our Pump Wouldn't Work.

Hon. w. P. Wideman was in town last
Wednesday seeing his son Boyce Wideman
off to the Bell Buckle Co-educational school
In Tennessee. We tried to interview him on
the reason for not sending his son to Due
West. While he is a fast friend TO Due West
he wanted his son to be prepared to enter
the College classes when he went TO the Col.
lege from which he himself was graduated.
He didn't know why Mr.. Mower, the treas
urer of the institution, did not send his
children TO Due West.
Mr.. Wideman said he thought he was for
Missions, but he would say nothing now. He
would take more time to think over the
matter before giving out anything either
privately or publicly. In view Of the posi-
billy Of greater accessions TO the Church in
Mexico, which Increased numbers would in
volve greater expense and require more mis-
sionsries and more teachers, we asked him
II he didn't think the increased numbers and
increased cost would break up the A. R. P.
Church, root and br anch. He would INC
nothing along this line and would not VEN
ture al opinion. We then wanted to know
If he didn't think 1t would be cheaper TO cal
our Missionaries home and support them
here, rather than to let them remain In Mex
loo, where the danger is that more Mexicans
may join our communion and ruin the A. r
P. Church in this county. He said 1t would
take time for him to study the matter. He
didn't want to be quoted in the paper. He
was, as usual. as polite and as agreeable as
possible, but our pump wouldn't work him.
Whether or not his mind ever becomes
clear on the subject Of missions, he is as good
q man as you could find in q days journey.
When he comes to Abbeville again, we shall
apply our pump, to see lift will work then.
Just now We believe he is prejudiced In favor
OF maintaining missionaries in Mexico. He
can quote Scripture to justify the sending OF
missionaries 10 the heather. mi we believe
h now thinks the Catholic of Mexico be-
Ions to that class OF the human family.

The Experts Report.

The expert who was employed by the grand
jury made his report to the Court last week
and there seems to be q disposition 10 pigeon
hole the same. While there is a very general
enquiry for 1t yet the authorities have not
ordered 1t to be made public. Except scarcity
OF money In the. treasury Is urged as reason
for not giving the public the benefit OF the
knowledge OF the facts of that investigation
we have heard no reason assigned for sup
pressing or Withholding the report.
1.-THE grand jury was considering the mat
ter of economy 1t should not have ordered
the Investigation but since the investigation
has been made we think the expert should
be paid q fair SUM for his work.
We nave not seen the report OF the expert
but we assume that there is nothing in the
report that would justify the officers in pla'
cling 1t away where the citizens may not see
IL.
When there is a bridge down, there Is g
public demand for its rebuilding, but nc
body expects a builder to replace 1t without
being paid for 1t.
In like manner, II the county has any
printing to do which the interests OF thu
county demands should be done; no reason
able man expects the printer to do the work
without pay.
But whether II is kept from the eye OF the
public for economic or other reasons thil
news paper does not propose to work with
out pay, especially when IL Ia possible tha
the officers may not desire the publication o
the e xperts reports. We are not informed !
there are other than economic reasons fol
not paying either the expert or the printer
but we presume that there is nothing in the
people. OF this the e. and jury and the Off
GERS. and not we are the judges. To concea
the report is unfair to the officers themselves
Asia rule 1t is not however. safe for public
officers TO conceal ANYTHING.
