He will have better and finer fruits and
vegetables than the shiftless person who
won't take pains to keep in the indus
triOus and intelligent band.
Now. brother farmer, the trucking
business is not Overdone, and never will
be until everybody at home and abroad
has a bountiful supply of fruits and
vegetables every day in the year. You
may say that it will be impossible to
have vegetables every day in the year.
Nothing further from the truth. You
can have dried and canned apples, pears,
peaches, figs and all kinds of fruit. You
can also have sweet potatoes, Irish po-
tatOes, turnips, squashes, cashaws,
pumpkins, pepper, pindars, all the win
ter by just little care and trouble. A
surplus of any OF all of this would read
lily find a good market in your home
town.
Now there is nothing discouraging
about this whole thing unless it be the
want of labor it takes to make and have
these things. But, after all, we were
made to work, and it is the pendulum
of life-to work to live, is the law of
nature.
Horticulture is a nice pursuit or pro-
fesion if one takes liking to it. Every
lick he strikes he can see the big, fine
fruits hanging to the vine, or whatever
he is tilling. In fact, this is one way to
enjoy yourself while working with your
vegetables or crops-is to think of the
great, fine ears of corn on the stalk or
the potatoes bursting the ridges to get
room to grow, or the nice, beautiful
vines loaded with nice, large berries or
fruits, as the case may be. Or, in other
words, of the final harvesting of them.
All good farmers or truckers should.
and do, not only make good moneyed
crop, or crops, but make and store a
bOuntiful supply of hay, grain, for
age, fruits, vegetables, etc. for winter
uses for both man and beast. that all
may be cared for we'll during the cold
winter months.
] will say that no farmer can do his
best farming as to a money profit on
poor land, and that no man should at
tempt to truck on poor land. 1t viii not
make as large or fine fruit as rich land.
1t is more drOuthy. 1t won't make but
one-half the crop or yield and net re-
turns will be unsatisfactory. Rich land
should be the watchword; then, with
other things equal he is bound to sue
ceed No man should exact too much
of his land-that is, two or three crops
year-without q bountiful supply Of
barnyard manure in return. also legume
plants, commercial fertilizers, etc. Land
to truck on should be so rich with de
cayed vegetable matter and so deeply
plowed that one can run his hand down
foot deep in the rich, mellow SOIL No
man can thrive tilling poor land. II
ones land is poor, so will be the tiller
or owner.

JACKSON
Cumberland Not Liable.

Among the questions submitted to
Chairman Lee, of the railroad commits
sion the past week was one touching
tin liability for repairs and general
upkeep of private rural telephone lines
used by several different parties, which,
however, are operated through the ex-
changes of the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company. A concrete case
in point was brought to the attention
of the commission by an individual who
had constructed such private line, and
had made a contract with the Cumber-
land company to operate through its
exchange at the nearest exchange point,
paying an agreed contract price of $22:SO
year.
Chairman Lee looked into the matter
carefully, and in replying to the com
munication held that. in his opinion, the
Cumberland Telephone Company was not
responsible for the physical upkeep of
the line, according to the terms of The
contract, but only for the exchange con-
nectiOns and service.

CATION into the handling of the county

statute.
The officers have discovered an appar-
ent unlawful disbursement OF over $780,

working devised by the board of super
viso:s themselves. and not in accord
ance with any of the plans sanctioned
by law, and have entered suit in the

TRUCKING FOR PROFIT.
By John w. Day.

Any man who is a good farmer or
agriculturist can make good horti-
culturist or trucker He must have a
very good, or thorough, knowledge by
practical experience, how and when to
prepare soils and cultivate his crop.
He must know the nature and require
ments and needs of his soils for different
crops. For instance, cukes and all of
the vine tribe need lighter soils for a
perfect success; while Strawberries, cab
bage and many other crops need a rich
clay loan.
We find the trucking business pretty
badly overdone at present. There is .
combination of circumstances which
causes this, that seldom ever come. The
high prices of two or three years ago, of
fruits and vegetables, caused by gem
eral prosperity, stimulated the trucking
business; caused heavy increase in
acreage. The invasion OF the boil weevil
and the underconsumptiOn caused by the

Memorial for Baldwin.

The attention of Gov. Noel has been
called by Capt. William L. Rigby, chair
man of the Vicksburg National Military
Park Commission, to the fact that a
number of states which were represented
by troops engaged in the investment and
the defense of Vicksburg in 1868 are
making preparations to place in the park
suitable bronze tablets or other memo
rails to the commissioned general Of
fcers who were in command of Organi-
cations.
Of the general officers on the side of
the defenders, only one, Gen. William f.
Baldwin, had been commissioned as such
prior to the movement of Grant toward
Vicksburg, and he had the distinction of
being the only native Mississippian who
had reached the rank of gadier-general
included in PembertOn's army at that
time. Capt. Rigby suggests that it might
be well to place this fact before the
legislature and recommend to that body
that steps be taken to place Gen.
Baldwin memorial in the park.

May Have Auto Races.

Secretary Mckay of the state fair has
received inducements from the automo-
bile makers that will probably lead to
special arrangements for auto races DIR
ing the state fair, and the indica tions
are that there will be quite Il line of
machines on hand, in addition to those
owned locally. 1t is expected that ex-
hibitors who will have space at the
Texas state fair at Dallas will bring
their machines direct to Jackson to take
part in the races.

to give the proceeds of one days work

Gov. Noel Will Attend.

Gov. Noel states that he will make
an effort TO attend the good roads gath
ering which the Gulfport citizens are
arranging to be held on Sept. %. While
he is in entire sympathy with the sug-
gested plan for calling state conven-

step should not be taken hastily, but
that the plan should be thoroughly ma.
tured and interest worked up to the
point where general support would
spring spontaneously and the gathering
be made thoroughly representative.

Reformatory Is Needed.

Some idea as to the very great need
of reformatory system for youthful
convicts, and especially the white con-

the most eloquent arguments in support
of the proposition is furnished in a let
ter to Gov. Noel from District Attorney
D. G. McLaurin, of the Twelfth district.
The statement is brief but significant,
being to the effect that in one county of
his district there are eight or ten minors
awaiting trial ON felony charges of
greater OF less degree.

Pardon Was Legal.

One of the questions over which the
governor has been doing considerable
thinking recently, and into which he
has made considerable inquiry, was the
order of the board of supervisors of
Lawrence county granting pardon to
DIR. j. NJ. Kirby, who was convicted of
selling liquor and sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 and to serve ninety days
in the county Jail. He appealed his
case to the supreme court, which passed
on il during the last term and affirmed
the lower court, and Kirby was re-
manded to Jail to serve out his sentence.
After being confined ir Jail for a period
of thirty days, the board of supervisors,
exercising the statutory prerogative,
granted the prisoner a discharge on the
ground of physical infrmity.
This prompted the governor to address
an inquiry to the attorney-general's de-
partment and that official fin1s that
according to the law as written, the
order of release was in accordance with
the statute.

Amster Railroading to smelter--
