Double Compensation Up.

That Jones county officials are expert
encing the difficulties and complexities
that beset the administrators of public
affairs in a dual district county Is evil
denced by u communication from the
board of supervisors of that county to
the attorney generals office. The in.
quiry is, in substance, whether the board
of supervisors in counties having two
judicial districts are entitled to receive
compensation for the two districts, as is
the case with sheriffs and court clerks
and other officers. Answering this, the
attorney general holds that as the act of
1906, which created the double district
in Jones county, is silent as to the ques'
ton submitted, it must be settled &C
cording to the provisions of section 22oe
of the Mississippi code of 1906.

by little, to the devices effectiveness;
and, in 1922, an English miner. George
Stephenson, succeeded in making the
first locomotive along modern lines.
In 1926 the first railroad. with one OF
his locomotives drawing a train over
its tracks, was opened. This was an
epoch-making event in the History OF
Progress. The public was forced. re-
luctantly. to admit that the invention
had come to stay. To England belongs
the credit of this wonderful invention.
Peter Cooper was a self-made New
Yorker, born in New York city in 1871.
He had little more education than did
Trevithick. AS a boy he worked for
his father at making hats. When II
he learned the coach-making trade.
This later requirement was destined
later to be of use to him along a
| broader line of endeavor. He, like
| Trevithick. was a natural inventor. A
| cloth-shearing machine, a patent glue
| and many other unique inventions
| started him on the road to fortune. He
had already won fame as a man OF
original ideas when the question OF
the locomotives importation came up.
Cooper. who had recently entered
the iron business in Maryland, at once
set to work on plans of his W along
this line. His knowledge of coach
making, as we'll IS his trend for orig
inality and natural dizziness, came to
his aid. In 1880 he built, from de-
signs of his own making, the hrst 10
"Tom Thumb" En- ~ :.

W. this country. The
7oao Baltimore & Ohio
railroad was building, and the roads
promoters were in grave doubt as to
whether there would be a reasonable
profit on their investment. Cooper
demonstrated the possibility of build
ing railroads on small capital ant
saved the Baltimore & Ohio from
bankruptcy. His first locomotive wa:
called the tom Thumb" and it lee
the way for Americas supremacy in en-
CINE building.
Nor was this the greatest service
Peter Cooper rendered to his country
Remembering how hard he had beer

COTTON CROP MAY BE SHORT
Two Weeks of Trying Weather
Causes Deterioration.

Memphis, Tenn.-General deterioration
in the cotton crop is reported this week
save in North Carolina. Southern Geor'
gia and sections adjacent to the Gulf
of Mexico. Dry weather has prevailed
for two to eight weeks and the plant is
shedding freely. Hot days with drying
winds and cool nights have intensified
the effects of the drouth. In many sec
lions there is a great deal of late cot
ton and this has suffered severely. Tho
drouth has been especially severe in Ar
kansas and Oklahoma and it is said that
rains now would do little good there ex-
cept to fill out the unmatured bolls.
There is a general disposition to modi-
fy crop estimates and make them lower
than two weeks ago. In sections there
are some promising crops, but they are
q small minority. The prospects for a
top crop are regarded as poor although
a late frost might increase the yield.

LAND SUITS KNOCKED OUT
Demurrers in Eastern Oklahoma Title
Cases Started by United States
Are Sustain ed.

81 Muskogee, Okla.-udge Ralph Camp
bell has sustained the demurrers in the
suits brought by the United States to
set aside various deeds and leases made
by citizen allottees in the five civilized
tribes in Eastern Oklahoma, and thus
settled a legal controversy that had been
the cause of considerable concern in that
part of the State.
The court reviewed the relation of the
United States to the five tribes since
they became a nation, and found that no
vestige of title to the lands allotted
them now remains in the United States.
The demurrers involved the question OF
the citizenship of these Indians and the
court declared them to be citizens of the
United States with all the rights, priv
ileges and i~mmunities of citizenship. 1t
is held that the United States can not
maintain these suits on the principle that
it .sustains to the individual Indian a
trust relation, such guardianship being
incompatible with citizenship, national
and State.
Finally the bills were held bad be
cause numerous defendants. are Joined II

distinct transactions regarding as many
