earthquake.
Hundreds are dead in the vii
lagos Of Miti, Makanbela, Tanio,
Kanda, and Kurani.
Hundreds Of small villages

MAP IS ALTERED.
According to the refugees arriv
ing here. the entirs face of the
countryside between here and
Khelat, the capital of BeIuchistan,
has been altered.
The quake tossed up huge lines
of low hills, throwing whole vii
lagos into ruins.
Fugitives from the town of Ku-
rani say that a huge crevasse
opened up in the earth with terri
bic rumblings, and entirely swal
lowed the center Of the village.
No news can be secured from
Khelat, which has a population of
1900, or from Bagh, another Be

among the nomad tr1besmen are
to the effect that both of those
cities wer ewiped out by the earth
quake.
Definite News Lacking.
Owing TO the lack Of railroad and
telegraph facilities makes 1t impossible
20 gather definite news. but it Is assur-
ed that the town Of Bell Pat, a railway
town In BeIuchistan, was wrecked, the
public buildings and many private
homes demolished, and twenty-five
known dead taken from the ruins.
Relief measures are being taken at
every railway center in this part Of
India, and searching parties are being
dispatched to the stricken district.
Relief Parties Leave.
Two parties from here have started
for Khelat and Bagh TO see II those
cities escaped disaster.

Margaret Chong by her guardian ad

divorce suit against Charles Manuel

Lena Anderson as complainant's guar

ing a suit to annul the marriage. Mar
garet Chong is seventeen years of age
and the following statement, taken
from the complaint tell the tsory of
her present trouble:
She was married to Baptistte on De-
cember 4, 1905, by Rev. John Kekipi.
At that date she was of the age of
thirteen years and had not attained
the legal age of marriage. The couple
lived together as husband and wife
for not more than two days, and from
that time until the date of this SUIT
Margaret Chong has not cohabited
with Charles Manuel Baptiste, nor has
she lived with him or been supported
by him. Within about two days from
the date of the marriage Margaret was
placed in the Salvation army rescue
home in Honolulu and has been under
the care and supervision of the Army
and it's officers up to the date of bring

COOPERATION IN ENGLAND
Carried On On Colossal Scale and Has
Been Tremendous Success from
the Very Beginning.

Contemplation of the magnitude of
cooperative merchandising in England
almost staggers one. Cooperative
stores are counted by the thousands
there, and each one is a unit in a stu.
pendous whole. Years ago the then
comparatively few local cooperative
stores combined to establish a whole
sale, from which they could draw sup
plies from first hands without paying
outside Intermediates any profits.
The movement was successful from
the start, though the beginning was
small. To-day that central establish
ment, owned absolutely by the local
co operative associations, is doing a
business of over $500. 100000 a year,
and much of the merchandise it sells
is comparatively manufactured!
This system virtually makes pro
ducer and consumer one, and the en-.
tire profits of the business go to
each in proportion to his contribution
to the business. The tremendous
chasm between producer and con.
odihCi, WHICH CUStS 80 uluCU 10 Cross
in this country, is unknown in Eng
land. So are mail order houses
those monsters that terrify the souls
OF our country retailers-unknown
there. There is no place for them
among the common people of Eng
land, and as we'll managed co-opera.
tive stores increase here there will be
less and less pickings for mail order
houses. Every retailer VINO makes of
his store cooperative unit is doing
more to embarrass big mail order
houses than a score of retailers can
do by denunciation of such houses, OF
trying to destroy them by legislation
and as rule, retailers are quite as
antagonistic to cooperative stores as
to mail order houses. Yet one or the
other will eventually do the major
part of the distribution of merchan

GOOD ROADS ADDRESS.
United States Backward.

Ruling nations of ancient history were
Egyptians, Carthagenlans, Babylonians
and Romans. Each one, when at the
height of its glory, owned more improved
highways than any other country.
France now has the most perfect system
OF highways, owning 1000 miles of ma
tional highways, 10000 miles of depart
mental roads and $4,000 miles of coun-
try roads. For the first two the pub
lie treasury gives annually $4,000, 900
for maintenance and construction, and
on the country roads there are employed
1900 inspectors and $4,000 laborers for
twelve months in the year. England,
Germany and Belgium also have a good
highway organization. In this phase
of civilization the United States lags
behind Sweden, and is on par with
Turkey, with one-twelfth of our popu-
lation. All told, the United States has
appropriated only $14,ooO,OOo for ma
tional highways.
Doctrine of State Aid.
The states have long since abandoned
the idea of obtaining aid from the fed
eral government, and over half of them
are now making appropriations for per-
manent improvement of their highways,
which are under the administration of a
state highway department. New Jersey

Suit Against Insurance Companies.

Supplementary to a suit recently filed
by the encouragement and district at
torney at Tupelo alleging violations of
the antitrust laws of this State by
twenty-seven insurance companies, Dis
trict Attorney j. d. Thomas filed suit
in the chancery court at Vicksburg
against thirty other companies operating
in Mississippi omitted in the original
suit, seeking the assessment of maxi
mum penalties aggregating S250,o0O,o0o.
The declaration says, in effect, that
the companies sued own stock in other
corporations, some own stock in other in
surance companies who are competing
corporations, and it is alleged this is in
violation of the antitrust laws of Mis-
sissippi.
The penalty for violations of the anti
trust laws is prescribed at not less than
5000 nor more than $4,000 fine per
day.

Treasurer Counts Cash.

State Treasurer Edwards balanced of
his cash Saturday, to find that the ac-
count exceeded that of one year ago on
the same date by $169, 9,673.25.
The iigm"s were: Cash in the drawer:
$65.66; cash in the repositories, $191,-
311.45, or total cash account of $685.
377.11. On Sept. IS, 1908, the cash bal
ance stood S25, ,7o3.S6, leaving the differ.
ence in favor of 1909 as indicated above
There will be steady drains on the
treasury from now on, and very little
coming in by way of offset, but the pros.
poets are that the first of November will
find quite an unusual balance of cash
for that period of the year.

led off in 1891. Connecticut followed in
1895, and then came Massachusetts, and
Vermont in 1898, etc, to the present,
when we find twenty-five states with Or
ganized highway departments. The
state aid plan, briefly stated is as fol-
lows: A direct appropriation by the
state legislature, the roads constructed
under the state aid law to be paid for
partly by the counties and partly by the
states. In Massachusetts the state pays
three-fourths of the cost; Pennsylvania
pays rs per cent, the counties 1919 per
cent, and the townships 1919 per cent;
Ohio pays 25 per cent, the counties so
per cent, the townships IS per cent and
abutting property 10 per cent.
The aid extended by the states is
usually accompanied by some form of
state supervision over highways con-
structed with state funds. The system
of supervision varies all the way from
highly centralized system to an almost
local system; in Connecticut, Rhode ISL
and and New York the highway depart
ment prepares plans, specifications,
awards contracts, supervises construc-
tion and maintains the road; in Michi-
gan plans, etc, are prepared by the local
talent, the state paying reward for
roads which meet certain standard. A
cooperative system seems to be the
happy medium: by its working the de-
partment of highways would have super
vision over all permanent improvements,
and for other work would act as q bu-
reau of information.
Solution of the Problem.
Public sentiment on the side of per-
manent Improvement is most powerful
organ, so hold agitation meetings" in
all the counties to enlist the enthusi-
astic support of as many people as pos
sible; encourage the state press to boost
good roads; invite railroads and other
corporations to take hand, all of which
will be preparatory to enacting law
creating an appropriation for perma-
nent improvement and also highway
department to make intelligent surveys
and plans for modern highways.
The appropriation should be sufficient
to give $1,000 to each county, and to
pay the expenses of the department.
When county has raised an amount
equal to its share Of the appropriation,
construct at least one-half mile of
object-lesson road in the most frequented
place in the county. When the head
of the department of highways has COM
pleted these exhibition roads, he should
report on the cost, and then will the peo-
pie know just what can be done, and
at what cost. The head of such a de-
partment should be one trained In the
art of modern highway construction,
and, more important, should be one who
should energetically and promptly study
