F. F.. Rogers of Pascagoula has dem onstrated to his entire satisfaction, no doubt, that it hardly pays to ship sweet potatoes from that place to Jackson to be sold. He finds that freight rates are very heavy, while the loss in transit is something terrific.
 A few days since MT. Rogers tried a shipment of 64 sacks of potatoes, about 100 bushels, from Pascagoula to this city, routing them via New Orleans over the Louisville and Nashville and thence tor Jackson over the Illinois Central When the shipment left New Orleans it was 14 sacks short of the original GA and when 1t arrived here it was short two more, or Is sacks between Pascaguola and Jackson.
 The freight amounted to 35 cents per bushel but even at that rate the ship per would have had a good profit If all his potatoes had arrived at their destin- ation, as sweet potatoes are selling here at about SIPS per bushel But when the Is lost bushels are taken into con- sideration the profit dwindles to next to nothing.
 The consignment was to Capt. J. J. Col lins, purchasing agent of the Farmers union and he has taken the matter of overcharge on freight and the great loss of goods to the railroad commission.

A negro named Russell, under sentence of the court to die on the scaffold at Lexington, Holmes county, April 5, has had his sentence commuted to life im- pr1sonment in the penitentiary by Gov ernor Noel
 Russell was convicted of the murder of andther negro, and the only extenuat- irs circumstance was that he was very drunk He had announced his intention Of killing him a negro, and fired on a crowd with deadly effect. The. Holmes county board of supervisors had agreed that the execution should be in public. and Lexington was preparing to entertain about 1CO00 visitors on the date of the ex- ecution. It Is understood that concessions were being made for refreshment stands in the old field where the scaffold had been erected, and big day was being prepared for. The communication of the sentence gets rid of all the excitement in- cident to the legal execution of a negro in this state.

IS ALMOST A FREE FIGHT

Jackson, Miss, April Especial )-One of the ltveliest scenes ever witnessed in court room was experienced here today when Charles Evers, one of the Law Enforcement detectives. was brought 10 triai on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, before Justice of the Peace !. NJ. Cade
 Evers was arrested in the court room several days since by Sheriff Harding. He had entered the courthouse with his pistol but did not go on the witness stand with it, having left it with an other detective in the hall The arrest created a good deal of excitement, Evers claiming the right to carry a pistol be- ing a special officer of the city and state. and authorized by the mayor and the gov ernor to carry a pistol
 On the trial the defense was about as above stated. but it developed that Mayor Crowder had taken the badges away from the detectives some time ago. He did not, however, tell them that they were no longer special officers of the city in fact, it was explained to the detectives that the city short of badges and needed them for other regular police
  men,
 Another ground of defense was that the lives of the detectives had been threatened by certain of the men they had turned up here and elsewhere, where fore they had a right to go armed.
 Justice Cade imposed a fine of S10O and costs on Evers, and then Bedlam broke loose in the court room. Mr R. K. Jayne, a prominent member of the Law Enforcement league, expressed his sentiments of the court in very emphatic language. dozen others joined in from both sides and for a while it looked as If there was to be an old fashioned knock-dowl- and -drag-out fight Attempts to restore order were futile and quiet was not secured till the court room had been emptied and a score of men had as- stunned the role of peacemakers, backing their friends out of the little court room and away from thei scene.
 Evers promptly appealed his case and several members of the Law Enforce mnet league stood for his bond which was fixed at $20O.

sary if the organization is to progress

.The production has been given by

duction, that is the one of the klaW
and Erlanger company, the one tina,
is to be here. 1t will be as complete
in every detail as any performance OF
this great play that has ever been
given. The race scene, and every
other big and little scene will be
staged as well and in as realistic a
manner as in New York or Chicago.
Prom every point of view the 10
cal stage is adequate to present our
biggest spectacle The Roman Galley
The Mount of Olives The Lake in
the Orchard of Palms. The Chariot
Race All these are big spectacles;
and it makes me happy to find in a
town of this size a theater that so
nicely accommodates every one of
them. Every inch of the stage will be
used, and the production here Wl.l
be one that has pleased thousands Of
people all over the country.
Something of the size of the pfo-
duction can be realized when it is
known that we carry eight 60-fOot
baggage cars and nearly 200 people.
We move by special train and there
is no larger company on the road,
than ours The weekly expense Of
handling the company, is about $4,000

visiting a town the size of Walla
Walla. If it meets with success here
we will bring other big productions to

Struck by Lightning.

The barn on Robt. Chris.
topher's farm, / / A miles north.
west of Keytesyille, was struck
by lightning week ago Monday
which almost demolished the
south end of the building.
The bolt first hit the apex OF
the two rafters on the south side
and ran both ways, tearing all OF
the timbers to pieces with which
it came in contact.
A pigeon that was on her nest
on a projection about half way
between q couple of rafters had
nearly all her feathers burned
off her body, her wing and tail
feathers being entirely consumed,
and still lives, and could tell the
story how lightning feels and
tastes if she could only talk.
She was taken to the house
and cared for, but made her es.
cape aud walked back to the
barn, q distance of between q
quarter and q half mile. She was
unable, however, to reach her
nest and is now doing her best to
grow another supply of feathers.
The damage to the barn is
placed at SID and is fully cover

Mrs. Lora 8. LaMance of Jop.
lin; Mo-, one of the state lectur.
ers and organizer for the w.
G. T. U delivered an interesting
lecture at the M E church,
South, here Sunday night.
Mrs. LaMance is very pleas
ant speaker and seems to be
greatly enthused over the tenn.
perance cause.
BY means of ribbons, each inch
of which represented $1,000, 900,
she showed the amount of money
that was being spent in this
country for foreign missions,
about 0,000, 900; $3.50, 900, 900
for church work and temperance,
between $500, ,0OO, 900 and s4OO,. +.
600, 900 for education, but alas
and alack +! that which was ex.
pended for booze and beer at re-
tail was the greatest of all, be-
ing, in round numbers, a total of
So, 2,275. 600, 900.
The showing she made on to-
bacco, cigarettes and chewing
gum, etc., was almost beyond
believe, but she said the figures
were based on government sta.
tistios.
She informed the audience
that six states were now under
.prohibitory LIQUOR Laws, and thst
q prohibition amendent to the
constitution would be submitted,
through the initiative and referen
dunn, to Missouri voters in 1910,
and that Judge w. H. Wallace
of Kansas City would look after
the legal part of the submission,
Mrs. LsMance's idea of "a cam
paign of education" is to have q
full discussion of both sides oi
the question, both on the stumr
