LOCAL BANKS TOOK
THE entire issue
Farmers Expect to Make Bale of Cot
ton to Acre-SeveraI Saw Mills
Threaten to Close Down Unless the
Prices Pick Up Soon.

New Augusta, Miss, March 2.-Oul
Board of Supervisors convened in reg
ular session yesterday and they have
issued thirty thousand dollars of seri
al bonds, five per cent. payable in
twenty years, and also payable in five
years at the option of the county.
These bonds are issued as highway
improvement bonds, which will be
spent on the county roads.
The board also let a contract to the
Southern Steel and Structural Com
pany of San Antonio Tex, to steel-line
the Jail throughout the interior with
sheet steel. The consideration was
STATS.
Perry County Bank at New Augusta
took half the road bonds, and the
Bank at Richton, also in this county,
took the other half, both deals be-
ing at exactly par.
Intense farming is the theory and
practice in vogue in this section. Up
to-date farmers count on a bale of cot
ton to the acre, fifty bushels of corn
and other crops in proportion.
Several saw-mills in their sepulchral
stiffness intimate to the passerby that
Mr.. Taft's great name has failed to
present a full resurrection of bust
ness. Several are, however, running
on full time; but some Of these ar
threatening to close down unless
prices advance soon.

SHAM SKIRTS MUCH WORN.
Brought Back to Favor by the Vogue
Of overDrapsry. ~

There Is wide return to the skirt
made of silk or its imitation, instead
Of the skirt Of one material from
waist to hem. y
1t has been many years since the
sham skirt was considered possible.
1t has been revived over and again
whenever the overskirt or. tunic came
into fashion.
1t is now here In full force because
over-drapery is SO much a part OF
every costume. The silk foundation
is gored, and then bias fold or a cir
cular rufile finishes out the length.
Over this the drapery is dropped from
the waist.
Even street skirts are built in this
manner. It is not an especial econo-
my, as some women seem to think,
because the tunic takes as much ma
terial as the whole skirt would.
Overdrapery is exceedingly good
looking when well done. 1t must be
close fitting over the hips, and have
long straight line at the back and
cut in perfect lines around the hem.
Too much care cannot be given to this
drapery, as any line that cuts the
figure of is exceedingly bad when
1t is not good.
These tunics are finished with wide
braid or bands of embroidery. In fine
fabrics for house wear there is usually
only a hem, but it really needs more
than this. Nothing makes a better
trimming than one of the filet bands
now offered in every color and price.

Flowers for a Bride,

Natural flowers, whether orange
blossoms or some more exclusive, al
most unobtainable specimen of the
conservatory, appear to be the prefer
ence of the brides of to-day. White
sweet peas, gardenias and even or
chids appeal to some brides, but there
are others whose preference leans to-
ward the impossible, especially at this
season Of the year. However, lilies of
the valley and the everfragrant white
rose VIII remain the favorites of the
sensible bride Of to-day, as they were
the cnoice Of the maiden years ago
"hen there was less nonsense and
more practical sense in things apper
tanning to the tale of the marriage.

DARKEY
HAD BIG, UGLY GUN;
HE WANTED TO SHOOT

Jim Jones. 9-year old negro boy,
was before the police justice this
morning on the charge of exhibiting
2 deadly weapon in the shape of a
pistol that was nearly as large as
the boy.
The little pickininny explained to
the court that another boy put me
in the Duds,' which was the reason
he pulled the gun.
A further explanation of what put
ting one in the buds meant brought
forth the fact that it is an expression
used among the negroes when a vile
epithet is applied

I The taking of three potatoes, small
potatoes, worth not more than fifteen
cents, was the cause of the trouble
of Charley Simms, also colored. The
evidence was that Simms entered a
potatoe bank near town, which was
not of his own building, and took
three potatoes, and the act cost him
$25 in fine and costs.

when she finds out that the end OF
white or bleached flour is fast ap-

golden flour for white whip rove ben

AN extended trip through the West is
being arranged for President TAFT and a
party of friends next month, and it is said
that the President will explain the new
tariff to the weSternerS. We advise Mr..
Taft to let this subject alone. Those pa
triotic western Senators like LaFollette
and Dolliver and CumminS have shown
their people what a raScally piece of leg
islation it is, and we don't see what the
President can say about it that will help
him. Knowing it to be as bad as it could
be, he did practically nothing TO amend it,
and he must either confess to lack OF in
tereSt or lack of influence.
The less the President says about the
tariff, the better it will be for him. His
wiSest course is to smile that meaningless
smile and say nothing.

The title OF the new series is "The Tur-

Margaret g. Hays furnishes the tales.
Both are out Of the ordinary and both are

there is a little boy, and that same little
boy is possessed OF an imagination that
is always active. Most every parent
knows Of "Kaptin Kddo."
The style of the work and the reputa-

the immediate success OF the series.

ONE of the warmest epiStles we have
ever read is an open letter written to
Speaker Joseph c. Cannon by Congress
man Charles N. Fowler, OF New Jersey.
MIR. Fowler was depoSed by Speaker
Cannon as chairman OF the Banking and
Currency Committee of the House OF
Representatives, and he writes savage
letter to the Speaker on the subject. He
charges Cannon with all sorts of rotten
ness and declares that he conspired with
Senator Aldrich to force the present tariff
rates upon the country. He speaks OF
Cannon'S Contemplate trickery and
traitorous treachery, disgusting favoritism
and vengeful malice" and openly calls
him disreputable and dishonorable. He
also shows up Cannon's record as leg
islator in very plain way. He doesn't
say much about Cannon that the people
didn't already believe, but the boldness
of the attack has created sensation.
Speaker Cannon made averbal reply to
Mr.. Fowler's accusations, which is, oi
course, unfit for publication, consisting
principally of profanity and abuse.

1T is announced that Special Master
Charles E. Littlefeld, who was appointed
by the Supreme Court of the United States
TO hear the evidence in the Virginia debt
case, has heard all the evidence which was
introduced by attorneys for the States of
Virginia and West Virginia. The final
evidence was submitted to the master at
a meeting concluded last Thursday in
New York City, and when the report is
printed, the arguments in the case will be
heard before Littlefield in New York City
September 2lst.
According to the representations OF
West Virginia's attorneys, the State OF
Virginia owes this State S2,40S, S09.S7,
while the attorneys for Virginia claim the
part OF the Virginia debt owed TO that
State by West Virginia amounts to &c.,
444,5lS.20. The question of dispute be-
tween the States hinges upon what charges
the State OF Virginia has to make against
West Virginia as this States proportionate
share of the expense Of running the un-
divided State of Virginia up to the time
the mountain commonwealth was ad-
mitted to the union.
The entire proceedings in this stupen-
dous fraud would be regarded as farce
were it not for the serious possibility that
West Virginia is liable to be called upon
TO pay to a party of New York spectators,
their tools and fewlegal sharks an enor-
nous sum of money.
We have little expectation that this
matter will be settled upon its merits
There are too many corrupting secret in
fhences at work.

people had made a spirited campaign,
but the whiskey people relied almost en-
tirely upon an enormous Doodle fund
which had been contributed by brewers
and diStillers and wholesale liquor houses.
This money was used effectively and the
saloons will stay. HarriSonburg is the

There is growing sentiment that the
