State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget of State News Items Gathered by Oor Special
Correspondent at Jackson.
White Men Behind Negro.

Action has just been brought in Jasper
county to overturn the act of the last.
Mississippi legislature providing for the,
establishment of county high schools.
throughout the state. B. w. Sharbor-
ough, of Laurel, one of the leading law
yers of the state, has charge of the le-
gal proceedings, and he has already en-
joined the board of supervisors and the
educational authorities. Bob GOWN, a.
negro, the father of a large number of
children of scholastic age, is Mr.. Shar-
b%orough's client of record, but back of
him are a number of white residents and
taxpayers of the county.
The injunction proceedings are based
upon the manner in which the special
tax was levied, an attack upon the con-
stltutionality of the act of the legisla-
ture, with particular reference to that
part which specifically limits these agri~
cultural high schools to the education
of white youth"

JACKSON.
Afford Appeals for Action.

Hon. G. H. Afford, of Pike county,
member of the legislature from his coun-
ty, who is one Of the leaders in the
movement for carrying his state for the
principle of diversified farming and the
live-at-home idea, has issued the follow
ing address to the people of Mississippi:
"The recent session of the legislature
passed a bill authorizing any county in
the state to establish one agricultural
high school, and under certain conditions,
easily met, the state will give $1,000
annually to assist in supporting it. There
is now a bill pending in congress known
as the Davis bill, that grants 10 cents
per capita to each state for practical
instruction in agriculture and in home
economics. If this bill becomes a law,
every agricultural high school in Missis-
sippi will receive 10 cents for every citi-
zen in the county in which the school is
situated to assist in supporting it. A
county with 10000 inhabitants will re-
ceive $4,000 from the government, in
addition to the $1,000 given by the state
to assist in maintaining the school. 1t
is of the utmost importance that the Da-
Wis bill become a law before March 4. l
urge every Mississippian to send a strong
letter, or even a postal card, to each of
the congressman and senators from this
state, in behalf of the Davis bill, at
once. 1t is most important that you
write an emphatic letter at once to Hon.
j. G. Cannon, speaker of the house Of
representatives, Washington, urging him
to give the Davis industrial education bill
right of way. Also send a strong letter
TO Hon. Charles F. Scott, II. r., Wash
ington, chairman of the committee on
agriculture, to report out the Davis bill
at the earliest possible moment"

Man 80 Years old Discovered Alive On
der Wall.

Messina.-Reports come of the re-
markable recovery from the ruins of
Gaetano Militello, an ~octogenarian, alive
after 20 days. He had managed to es-
cape from under the walls of a house a
few days after the earthquake, fleeing
in terror to the outskirts of the town.
For a time he sustained life with herbs,
but at length fell exhausted under a pile
of wreckage, where he was found by the
soldiers.

tional expense of about $500, making
a total of $500, and Mrs. Lockwood
has raised over $1,000.

Shredded Pea Vine.

Commissioner of Agriculture Blakes-
lee has in his office something new in
the way of fiber, or rather a substance
that, while not new in itself, is capable,
of development into material which may
yet mean much to the man who accom-
plishes that development. 1t is nothing
more nor less than shredded pea-vine
hay, the vines having lain out in the
neld exposed to the weather for weeks.
The threads, taken by themselves, are
as fragile as a shred of Spanish moss,
but when several are taken and twisted
together they are as unbreakable as a
piece of galvanized wire, and, as Com
missioner Blakeslee observed, there is no
doubt some process by which the same
material could be spun into yarn or
packing Irvine, and he intends to take
the matter up with Director Hutchin-
son., of the State experiment station,
and see what can be done.

Tick Eradication.

The members of the Mississippi Live
Stock Sanitary Board are very much
pleased at the prospect FOR continuing
their work of tick eradication under fav-
orable auspices, and especially that they
have obtained a start. This is something
to have accomplished, and the Mississippi
legislature has taken quite an advanced
step in the direction of building up the
live stock, and especially the cattle in
dustry, in the state into the degree of
development which should characterize
that department of material activity.
The board decided that instead of trying
to stretch their resources so as to cover
more counties than the number in which
they are now working, they will con-
tinue in the same this year, and thor
oughly eradicate the fever tick. This
territory is embraced in the counties of
Benton, Marshall, DeSoto, Tate and Tu-
MICA, in the three former of which most
of the work has been carried on, and to
a less general degree in Tate and Tunica.

Tuberculous Cattle.

DR.. J. +. Mitchell, superintendent of
the State Insane Hospital at this place,
and Secretary o. B. Taylor, of the board
of control of that institution, were be-
fore the Mississippi Live Stock Board
with reference to the t~uberculous cattle
which nave been found among the dairy
herd at the insane hospital. DIR. Mitchell
was DESTROYS of securing advice and of
placing the institution before the board
for the purpose of securing official adj
vice and assistance in dealing with his
affected cattle. There are several head
among them, and it was thought advis-
able, after applying the tuberculin tests
thoroughly, to have the most seriously
affected animals slaughtered and the
others segregated, in order to observe
them more thoroughly.

New Capitol Settling.

New Capitol Settling.
The State capitc' commission and the
legislature of Mississippi may have quite.
a serious problem before them before
many years have passed, in the matter
of correcting the defects which are found
to exist in certain details of construc-
ton, notably in the foundations. 1t is
believed that the big building has settled
quite considerably, and, while there IS
no likelihood of a direct collapse, it is
quite evident that some system of ul,-
derpinning and strengthening of foundt-
tions will have to be devised.

The State of Mississippi is not setting
an illustrious example to the general
public in the matter of mule raising, al
though that is q fault attributable to.a
system, rather than to individuals or
officials. 1t is a fact, and has been so
demonstrated, that mules can be raised
in the State, and at less than they can
be purchased for in Missouri, Kentucky
or Tennessee, but, like improved cultured
methods which will enable every farmer
to live at home if they are properly fh
lowed, the business must first be started
and must be Incorporated as a f~eatlis
Of industrial economy.

Consumptives May Live and be Cured
 in Any Climate.

New York, Dec, Many physi- clans have claimed that person suf- fefing with tuberculosis must live in a cold or dry climate in order to be cured.
 This idea has been disproved by an eminent European professor, who. af- ter experimenting with combination of drugs. has discovered positive cure and preventative of consump- ton, and as proof of this he has in his possession over thirty thousand letters from people who have followed his advice and have been cured.

Before leaving they will select the sight for new passenger station
 While here today, they looked over the situation, inspecting the ground north of the water tank and that ly- ing between the present depot and Main street crossing as possible sites. a decision will probably be made on the matter before the party leaves to- night.
 As far as the citizens of Stuttgart are concerned, they would prefer the location to he near Main street cross ing, or at the Union avenue or Third street crossings, rather than near or north of the present station Such a location would be more convenient, and better serve the interest of the public.

FIRES ON ARRIOLl
 BARELY MISSING

DOUGLAS, Oct. Special )-
 Fred Pochon, well known about Douglas as a gardener is awaiting his hearing on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon for attempting, as 1t is alleged, to fill David Ariola with buck shot. It so happened that one shot only hit Ariola, that striking him on the chin and affecting little in- jury the rest passing over his head and riddling his felt hat; he dropped and was missed by the second barrel.
 Andy Scott and Pochon have been working the Lewindowsi ranch and could not agree which those who know Pochon consider natural. Scott, after difficulties arose engaged Ariola to look after his horse in pssturage there and it is said this displeased Pochon who is alleged to have made threats to do for Ariola" to Scott and to the Mexican himself and others. The story is that this morning, on the ranch, armed with an old shot gun. Pochon opened fire and the object of his enmity escaped. Then Pochon gave himself up. His hearing is to- morrow afternoon.

GRADERS WESTOF FOREST CANYON
 AT PRESENT

DOUGLAS. Oct. Especial. )-
 When the Southern Pacific graders passed the diverging point on the Naco survey to Bisbee and Douglas 1t be- came fixed that nothing would proba- bly be done In building to Douglas and to the Warren mining district until af- ter the line is completed to Naco. The main camp has been moved west oI Forest Canyon and the grade work now covers several miles west of the can yon mouth in the direction of Crook where it will cross the main line of the E. P. & s. w.
 Rock work was started yesterday on the heavy cuts which will be necessary in reaching Crook from Forest canyon. Drillers were attacking the rock at many different pointss along the line.
 Mir. Mcdonald. superintendent of con struction for Grant Brothers, was en- countered yesterday afternoon when he was coming from Bisbee. He stat ed that nothing would be done on the Bisbee and Douglas line until after the work had been completed to Naco. He said that it would probably require two months to complete the heavy rock cuts, but that the graders would com plete the balance of the work to Naco in less time.
 While the present contract calls for building the Naco line only 1t is the hope that both the Douglas and Bisbee lines will be built before the Grant Brothers construction outfit leaves the county. The line to Douglas from the diverging point on the Naco line will be about fifteen miles long and could be graded by Grant Brothers in fifteen days
 There is now considerable travel be- tween Forest Station and Douglas by those connected with the railroad work

The Philosopher.

Philosophers are numerous, but the only ones have ever come across ip all my life were those who had every. thing their own way. How in the dickens can a starving man philoso. phize? How can a man who has just lost his job philosophize? Zoroaster was the most profound philosopher of his age, theoretically, but he was easily put out of temper. He once carried his irritability so far as to break marble table to pieces with a hammer because he happened to stumble over 1t in the dark. The time to philosophize is when your stomach is fat with good capon lined and yos are clipping coupons in 8 cubbvhole of a safe-deposit tault.-Nsw York Press.

When Water Gets Into the watcl

A watchmaker who has w1iAed al the bench for over quarter of cen. tury gave this advice to watch owners who may accidentally get water iata their watches:
 Do not open you watch until yon secure some sort of dish into which to place it. and also enough kerosene to cover it all over; any old tin can will do. Open your watch case, both front and back covers, and carefully move it around in the kerosene until you have filled it with oil. Allow it to remain in the kerosene until you can have it cleaned. It will come out of the oil without any of the parts rusting. thus saving much expense and the watch.-Popular Science,

BISBEE EXTEN. WILL PROVE
 PROPERTY

According to F. L. Harrington, president of the Bisbee Extension, there is no truth to the report that the company will permanently sus- pend operations on account of the breakdown at the shaft, located nine miles west of Bisbee.
 The drum shaft of the engine was broken, and it will be necessary to wait perhaps ten days before Il new one, which has been sent for and will have to be specially cast, is received.
 Tt is supposed that the stock in this company is controlled by Bisbee peo- pie" said Frank Graf. the broker, who is one of the large stockholders. This, however. is not the case. The stock is owned largely by eastern capitalists"
 The report has also gained currency that the suspension of work was due to lack of funds, and was a perma- nent shutdown. However, as the Bis bee Extension companS is controlled by w. H. Yawkey. the Detroit capital ist. worth in the neighborhood of $90,O00,e00, this story is rather ah- surj.
 The stockholders have absolutely decided to push the work on the prop erty until it is ascertained whether or not it is paying mining propOsi- tion. Recent ore indications have been pronounced most encouraging.

story of pyInu Trees,

Attention has recently been directed to the number of trees in Glasgow which are in a dying state, their sick. ly condition being attributed to smoke. A correspondent mentions a singular coincidence in regard to five trees which John Pattison planted in the center of his garden in Kelvingrove on the birth of his five sons. Two of his sons died early in the nineteenth century, but three lived till after 1850, when there were only three of tho trees standing. On the night that his son Mattkaw died one of the trees fell. and on the night of Frederick and Johns death (some years be- tween) one Of the trees fell. certain ly, as the writer remarks, . singular eosncidence.-Glasgo Herald.

Sheep Beasts of Burden.

fn the northern part of India sheep are put to a use unthought of in Flu ropeaD o- American countries. They are made to eerve as beasts of bur. den, because they are more sure-foot- ed than larger beasts, and the noun. tain paths along the foothills of the Himalayas are steep and difficult The load for each sheep is from 16 to 20 pounds. The sheep are driven from the village to village, with the wool still growing, and in each town the farmer shears as much wool as he can sell there and loads the sheep with the grain which he receives in ex- change. After his flock has been sheared he turns it homeward, each sheep having oa Its back small bag containing the purchased grain
