CANNING FIGS.

V3oksburg is behind Natchez, Ba-
ten Rouge and other cities i'm the
establishment CT a canning factory
Thcre are 10 better figs than are
produced here and there is a great
and growing demand for canned
figs We should take advantage of
the opportunity and learn wisdom
by reading the following from the
Na5chez Democrat:
The ri3w plart OF the Natchez
Canning and Mar,afact turing Company
is purchasing all the figs that can
be obtained ard tle MANAGEMENT is
calm for more. 4 few hundred
cans CT this 1rujs were put up yes
terday and dEe manager was very
much pleased with the grade.
cit was stated that if the farmers
will come forward with the fruit that
6.Ils branch CT the factory can be
made very probable, as there is a
great demand fer canned figs and the
supply us very limited.
ut is claimed by many that the
country adjacent to Natchez pro-
duces as fire figs as amy country i'm
the world and mat the trees are very
prolific. Many fine specimens were
sold to the canning factory yester
day and brought $1.25 a bushel. =
VicksbEGTg Democrat.
The canning OF figs ait Biloxi and
other coast points pays better prof
lit than the packing Of sea food, and
also pays the grower from 3 cents
10 4 cents Per pound for the figs
seine trees bearing many dollars
wcrth each year. Figs are a reais-
onabIy sure crop-much more so
than peaches, apples or pears, and
while once IN many years extreme
cold may kill the trees to the ground
they VIII sprout out again. A de-
Eglltful fruit to eat uncooked when
canner:es we're put up would be
very profitable crop to growers.

CENTRAL COTTON WAREHOUSE
PLAN.

w. B. Thompson, of New Or
leans, has a plan to have a large
central warehouse in that city, with
capacity to store 100000 bales at
one time and to handle 100000 bale
during a season. Insurance would
be cheaper and possibly a low freight
rate would be made to the Crescent
City by railroads. that would get a
bonus from steamers which would
CARRY the staple to foreign lands.
1t would be we'll ito have large
warehouse in New Orleans-it would
also be a good idea to have others
i'm large cotton centers, but the
News believes that local warehouses,
under a central state warehouse, is
the best plan that has SO far been
evolved for handling and marketing
the esouths great money crop. The
farmer can store close to home, THE
banker is willing to loan money ON
such warehouse receipts and Whateve
profit there lis i'm storing and insur-
ing, and the loaning of money will
be kept at home. New Orleans once
practically controlled ali the cotton

Absurdities of criminaI1 Law.

Pcbably in aEsurdities, the Grim
inal law as cur courts interpret and
construe it has no rivaL We are all
familiar with the force Of technicali-
ties with the learned judges who pre-
side over our trial courts. We see
every day absurdities INDUCED in
most seriously by these fastute digni-
tarites. We see justice f1agrantly mis-
carry because ridiculous preeedents,
copius citations of fallacfous prece-
dents which even childish wisdom
would despise, and quibles of chara
ter too ridiculous for serious consider,

ALL such are bulwarks behind which
defendants protect their. \criminahty
and make their escape. 1t is high
time that our judges return TO reason

DRIFTING TO THE NORTH.
Educated Negroes Leaving the
South for Broader Fields.

The address Of Hon. John Sharp
Williams recently delivered at the
Stat University of Nebraska is still
attracting attention. The Vicksburg
American says:
Mr. John Sharp Williams, according
advising negroes to go west; to make
their homes in Nebraska, Kansas and
the Dakotas, and so relieve over balar-
ced condition Of their race in the
South The advice is rather strange,
coming from a Mississippi cotton
planter; and yet not so strange
when all things are considered. The
the negro who is willing to work, to
raise cotton and cultivate the land of
the South IS always welcome and is al
ways valued by the Southern land
owner; but this class is growing S
smaller every year. The negro who
is educated, even in a very small
degree, is unwilling to plow, to noe
and to chop cotton. He wants, Of cou
course, to use his intellectual attain
ments, to be recognized in the life
around him. In the South sucih rec
ognition and such work lis confined
to- his own race. He@cannot get be-
ycnd the line. Consequently he
longs for broader field in the North.
Every year the tide of educated re
groes and even of those not educated
from the South to the North grows
larger. Mr.. Williams advice, there
fore, is little more than an accepa-
ance OF facts already existing, with
the addition that he tells the negro
emigrants to- go to the North to seek
the wider, freer life of the Western
prairies rather than the privatiOn
and disappointment that awaits them

The effort to avoid this termina-
ton OF the case was made On the
ground that no demurrer was set I'D

by such failure.

School Notes.

We are just beginning our fourth
month. The enrolment for the
month was 430; our total enrolment
TO date is 4oS.
Mildred Patterson is new pupil in
the sixth grade of the overflow room.
Our total enrolment in the High
school is 10. Two of these have
zone from town which leaves II be-
longing to the school. Our average
attendance for the month of Novem-
her was II, which we consider pretty
good.
Fannie McGrew, Vera Allen,
Frances Doty and Marjorie Irving
all lost the past week of school be-
cause of sickness. The latter two
began work again this week.
Some six or eight of the High
school boys spent the Thanksgiving
HOLIDAYS in the woods and mountains
hunting. We have not heard that
they found anything larger than their
appetites, which they say were large.
Some fifteen parents and friends
visited the several grades last We'd
nesday afternoon, heard the Thanks
giving programs and inspected maps
and drawings on exhibit. To these
we would say come again." To
others, come and see!"
We wish to call your attention to
the entertainment to be given on
Friday evening, December Sd, at the
Odd Fellows opera house. This
will be under the auspices of the
High school, and the net proceeds
will be placed in the Library fund
We believe the entertainment will be
clean, instructive and entertaining.
We read recently that the High
schools of Chicago are so badly
crowded that the grade of work done
has become SO poor that nearby col
leges and universities are refusing to
accept those who graduate from these
schools except upon examination.
The largest school does not always dc
the best work.
