Blind Tiger Booze Destroyed.

A heartrending scene was enacted in.
the city hall yard shortly after 10.
o'clock Wednesday morning when nearly
$500 worth of booze, captured by the
police in recent blind tiger raids, was
publicly destroyed by Chief G. B. Allen
and his assistants. Boxes, barrels and
crates filed with alcoholic beverages of
all kinds were rolled out of the booze
room" to a spot near the main entrance
to the city Jail, and within less than an
hour the ground was saturated with
mixture of beer, wine, whisky, yermouth
and various other liquids.

Win Reduce Cotton Acreage.

None of the officers of the Farmers
Union have as yet hazarded prediction
concerning cotton acreage for the cur
rent year, but they are strongly of the
opinion that considerable reduction
will be shown, and that a larger acreage
will be devoted to diversified crops, es-
pecially feedstuffs, than ever before in
the history of the state. Particularly
is this true of the counties in the south
western section of the state, where the
weevil has already made its appearance,
or where it is likely to appear in1con-
siderable numbers during the approach

Location for State Encampment.

There is a very decided and clearly

speculation as to the location of the
1909 state encampment, and as the race
seems to have narrowed down to two
cities-Meridian and Jackson-the inter

interesting. The people and the organ

about the restoration of the autono-
 nous republic. t It was Intended to hold the elections For the new government as soon as mo- | tice could be given. but an examina-
 ton showed that 1t would be impos-
 sibie. The elections were delayed. In
 The meantime 1t was decided to take
 2 new census as basis for apportion-
 ment and for registration. The cen
 sus was taken by the American cen
 sus office under the direction of Vic tor H. Oimstead. The enumeration de veioped the fact that Cuba had a pop uiation of 2.O4S.es0, e considerable in-
 crease since 1899 when the total was f.s72.7sT. After various delays 1t was
 decided to hold the municipal elec- lions in September and the general elections in November.
 AS result of these elections the Liberal Party came into power. and all arrangements were made for the with drawal of the provisional government. There was no question of the validity or the elections, the defeated party accepted the result without passion, peace was fully restored, and the peo- pie began to prepare for the inaugu- ration
 The provisional government has ac- complished wonders in It's brief ca- ~ huS Hhu tO 0ebt with pOlIIlcal questions such as never could arisc
 in one of the States of the Union, 1t
 has been face to face with problems involving q conflict of racial and na-
 tional ideas which 1t is dificuit for the
 American at home to comprehend, 1t
 has been annoyed at every hand by the petty quarrels of little leaders, 1t
 has had world of troubles. That it
 has solved all these vexing questions
 without creating new and greater quarrels is a great accomplishment.
 There has been some criticism. per-
 haps some mistakes have been made.
 But on the whole the provisional gov erument has been remarkably success
 fui in this new venture in govern
 ment--new. because never before has a
 great nation interfered in the affairs
 of q small one. purely in the interest of the small one. without manifesting
 one impulse of the selfishnesE of sov-
 ereignty. The purpose of the United States In Cuba has been questioned by the cynical nations of Europe ever
 since the beginning of the war with Spain. None can say now that the Americans have not proved their lis. linterestedness.
