ANCIENT HISTORY.
Claiborne County as Il Existed
Eighty Years Ago.

From the Port Gibson Correspondent of
August IS 1929.
This county, in point of popu-
Iation, ranks, according to the
census of 1890, as the fourth coun.
ty in the State; and is, in wealth
and political standing, probably
the third. In 1870 it contained
s,oo3 inhabitants, and gave 6e6
votes at the election that year. On
the cd and 4th instants, at the gem
eral election for Governor. Mem
bers of the Legislature, etc.s 773
votes were polled; but the county
is believed to contain between 800
and goo votes. 1t is spread over
an area of about Ioo square miles,
and is divided, nearly through the
middle, East and West, by the 32d
degree of latitude. It's shape re-
sembles a triangle;- the Jefferson
line forming the base, Copiah and
Kinds the perpendicular, and the
Mississippi and Big Black rivers,
(Which latter divides it from War
ren), the hypothenuse. 1t IS
bounded on the East by Kinds and
copiah, South by Jefferson, and
on the Northwest by the Mississip-
pi and the Big Black.

The farmer who reads agricul-
tural papers, books, and bulletins,
and attends farmers institutes is
no longer ridiculed as a book farm

ton whose censure amounts to real
praise. People are studying agri-
culture as never before. Once, and
not very long ago. either, 1t was
thought derogatory TO the high
character of human intellect to en-
gage 1t in the sordid affairs OF bnsi-
ness. Eventually brains became
involved in business affairs as well

of cotton when produced on one
acre. 1t costs only about 81. so
more to cultivate, gather, and mar

the one bale instead of the one

thirds of bale only costs about
$3.50.

growing of beef animals and it is

without providing one good pasture
where the hogs can have exercise
and obtain enough grass and her

Hog raising is seldom made prof
liable without good permanent pas
lures and grazing crops. The hog
is naturally an animal which feeds
over a wide range and, although
the feed which he gets from the
pastures will not enable him to
make rapid growth still 1t is essen

pasture for hogs

The supply of water during the
crop season depends very much up.
on the depth of the soil. Shallow
soil devoid of vegetable matter with
a hard pan just under it will not at
ford sufficient supply OF water
unless it rains often. On such soil
crops always suffer more or less for
water.
A soil from six to fifteen inches
deep full of vegetable matter will
absorb all of the winter rains and
have plenty of water OH hand for
summer needs. The soil is loose
and the roots can easily go down
deep after water. The loose soil aids
capillary action in bringing water
to the surface from the subsoil.
If we did not break our land
deep before planting, thoroughly
work the middles to a depth of at
least six inches just as soon as pos
sible. This will leave a fine seed
bed for the tender plant roots to
occupy later when they are racing

There is not a lazy bone in the

NEVADA BUTTS IN.

The Legislature over in Nevada,
having nothing else to do apparently,
and feeling under obligation to its
meagre constituency to do something,
butts in on the California uproar
about japanese restriction and does
what it may to precipitate an indis-
criminate row that is likely to involve
every other State on the coast except
the peterborough" to the south of
us. From what is known of Nevada,
as "No Mans Land" and as mere
mining camp, the exceeding interest
it takes in heading off a population
that might contribute conspicuously
to its own development and give ii at
least numerical standing in the ma.
tional roster, the "sic 'em" policy
does not sound either decent nor ap-
propriate; but perhaps it is quite as
much as may be expected. The Jap

BANKER is BUNcoED.

DENVER, Feb. 2.-Victim TO the
extent of $4,000 in an alleged conf.
dence game, J, NJ Blue, bank presi-
dent and capitalist OF Princeton, Mo-,
came to Denver last night believing
the police had arrested the men who
victimized him The police had un-
der arrest a man whom the sheriff of
Princeton had been trailing and an
other man named J. Jones, alias West,
who is said to be implicated. The
man under arrest proved to be the
wrong one, but Chief Of Police Arm
strong says the right man is in Chi
cago and that he has notified the
Chicago police to arrest him.
Mr. Blue informed the chief that
October 18th last he was induced to
bet $4,000 on a horse in race at
Council Bluffs. The race was declar.
ed dead heat and il was agreed TO
run it again at Springfield, Mo, a
month later. In the meantime the
stakeholder disappeared, with the
money.

FoRGETS HIS NAME.
But Rambles Ineoherently Of Ancient
History In Hospital.

PASSAIC, N. J. Feb. 2.-Both, the
hospital authorities and the police are
trying to find the identity Of a strap
ping six foot patient at the Passaic
General Hospital who is suffering
from lapse Of memory, having for
gotten his name, his relatives and his
business. A Pennsylvania Railroad
timetable upon which is written the
words Tyler Jubal, Bagler, Hinton,
w. Va" is the only clue to his identi-
ty. His case is attracting particular
attention because he rambled incoher-
emily about Greek history, declaring
that he is Leonides and that his home
is in Sparta. 1t was thought at first
that the unfortunate stranger referred
to Sparta, Sussex County, N. J., but
his discourses on mythology have
since indicated that he refers to the
original city OF days gone by. The
man is APPARENTLY about IS years old,
and was well dressed when found on
the street, attracting a crowd by his
utterauces.

and executive representative Of Il. II,
Hartman in the ranseontinental
railway system now controlled by
the railroad magnate, II is said that
Herrin will be succeeded as head OF
the legal department Of the Southern
Pacific BY Peter +, Dunno, who is
now general attorney for the road.
w, +. Herrin has recently returned
from a trip to New York. where il is
stated he held a conference with Har.
riman which led to the offer, Il Is
said the attorney will receive salary
OF 100000 a year for his services. Az
the conference il said the only hitch
in the proceedings was Herrin's in
disposition TO leave California, so il
was arranged that he is to maintain
his residence here. The paper also
asserts that Dunno will have nothing
to do with the Southern Pacific po-
litical bureau which was said to have
been conducted by Herrin and II
maintains that this department has
been turned over TO Walter Parker Of
Los Angeles.
Il is well known that Hartman has
long reposed the greatest confidence
in the judgment Of the eompany's at
torney and when the work OF the
great railway system under his con.
troll became too cumbersome for
him to handle i, is said that he de-
termined to secure his services in
more than legal matters.
Dunno, who is said to be slated as
Herrin's successor, has been remark
ably successful in the extensive liti-
CATION to which the Southern Pacific
has been subjected.
Il is said that the contemplated

COMPROMISE, THE RULE.

There is very little initiative and
independence in the ordinary Legisla-
ture, and Oregon's peculiar aggrega-
ton at Salem, has not evinced any
startling departure from the rule Of
compromise, evasion and self-interesi
that invariably governs there. Hap
PLY, they have not committed the
State to any wide range of fool legis-
lation as yet, but there is plenty Of
time for the avalanche and all signs
conspicuousIy set, and favorable, for
its descent.
1t is cordially hoped that the legis-
lative conference upon the eonserva-
ton of the water powers and re-
sources Of the State may evolve
something Of actual good TO the coun-
try, and line the State Of Oregon up
with her sisters all over the nation, in

AsToRIA'S HEALTH REPORT,

Without any desire to appear in
vidious we insist that DR.. Clara
Reames service, and report, in the
municipal health department for the
year 1905 is proof positive Of a most
intelligent comprehension Of the
duties Of that post and a creditablc
record Of their conseietious achieve
ment The place. and its demands,
are, necessarily, somewhat limited,
for the two excellent persons that the
population Is comparatively small and
the city naturally, and happily, very
healthful; neither Of which reasons,
however, could be allowed to mitigate
in favor Of any less faithful attention
that the doctor has given.
With death rate Of less than one
per cent and q minor scale of infee-
tious diseases: the former heavily
qualified by strong proportion OF
accidental deaths, and the latter, by
an equally strong element OF import
ed diseases, the health of Astoria
may be said to be abnormally good;
and every recommendation made by
DR., Reames for its perpetuation
should receive the prompt sanction
Of the authorities and equally careful
administration as well. The health
Of a city is one Of its richest assets
and may not be wantonly neglected
and the best attitude it can preserve
in this relation, is, when il is clear
and clean and immune, to keep it so
There is one Recommendation made
BY the health officer that, with any
thing like a general sense Of deeency
on the part OF our people, need not
have been made, and that is with
regard to @promiscuous splitting on
the sidewalks of the city. This is
one Of the intolerably filthy habits
that obtain here, and should be sup
pressed even by the powerful inter
ference of police authority and the
imposition Of fines large enough 70
set some Of the perpetrators Of this
gross act Of danger and indecency, to
thinking. 1t was promptly abated in
Salem when it got to be terror
there, sharply and quickly abated
and there is no reason why it cannot

not, as was suggested in the Council
with a view to the collection Of reye'
nue. from the transgressors, but with
the larger and healthier purpose Of
stopping the traffic. Mere fines are
OF no particular value in this premise
They but aggravate an ugly situation
and do rank injustice to the people
who might indulge in gambling, but
do not because the statutes and the
ordinances forbid It and who cannot
we'll pay fines, The law must be
flagrantly and openly violated by the
authorities themselves, by way OF
general concession to the games and
the collection of regular and fixed
fines; or it must be vigorously OBJ
served and the letter of the law
carried out.
We shall watch the outcome of this
new phase Of the old issue with in
terest; so viii good many more
people in this city; and the hope is
abroad that the old farce will not be
repeated. The people get very tired
Of some things; when they are thor

the issue and people who keep il
alive.
