JACKSON, Miss, October AL
though the bulk of the cotton crop O.
| the present season will have beer
moved before the new rates on com
pressed cotton proposed by Mr.. Scot
of the Mississippi Railroad Commits
sion, if finally adopted by the com
mission, can be legally put into effect
near the middle of December at tbs
earliest, the railroad men express re
greet that conditions were disturbed
at this particular time by the action
of the commission in springing the
proposition almost in the middle OF
the season.
1t was great surprise to the rail
road representatives yesterday when
Chairman F. NJ. Lee, on whose mo-
ton the original proposition Ito
equalize the rates on cotton by re-
duction," did not submit the schedule
of rates he suggested at the last
meeting, which were practically the
same as he had formerly proposed on
uncompressed cotton, but which were
superseded by a higher schedule Of
fered by Commissioner Scott. In
stead, Mr.. Scott himself presented the
only schedule of rates that was pro-
posed after a lengthy hearing on the
part of the commission of the rail-
road traffic men and legal representa-
tives present. This schedule, which
is considerably lower than the pres
ent rates, follows:
to 80 miles, 80 cents per bale.
so to 100 miles, rs cents per bale.
100 to POO miles, 81 per bale.
200 to 275 miles, $1.25 per bale.
liver 275 miles, $3.50 per bale.
To these rates 10 per cent is to be
added where shipments go over two
or more lines of railroad
This schedule, however, was not
adopted by the commission. 1t was
postponed until the meeting on Nov.
LIST, and will be taken up again on
the following day, Tuesday, Nov, End,
at which the railroad men are again
to be present. This was done in or
der to allow the railroad representa-
tives an opportunity to prepare their
defense, as the schedule had not been
formerly submitted to them. 1t is
therefore expected that they will be
well fortified with facts, figures and
arguments at the meeting in ques-
ton.
None of the roads have yet made
known their intentions in regard to

Special TO The News
JACKSON, Miss, October I'm a
session lasting eight hours the city

1914 mills, reduction of one-half
mill from the levy of last year, and
net saving in taxes on the 81 ,000,-

IS, 800, using round numbers.
The board approved the assessment
rolls as filed by Assessor Langley and
revised by the council, the revision
amounting to nothing less than a half
million dollar raise.
The tax levy is divided among the
various funds on basis of mills for
the general fund, 10 for the general
improvement fund, 3 mills for the
school fund, so for the light fund,
2.S0 for the fire fund, and $50 for the
bond and interest fund. The ordi-
nance fixing the levy was introduced
by Alderman McCleland, chairman of
the finance committee, after having
considered the matter in conference
with the other members. Consequent
ly, there was no fight over the rate
and little discussion of it.

Recent cablegrame from Paris to

sons repeated assertions that he
wanted the lions share of any purse
offered, have partially confirmed the
belief that the negro and the white
