fine SHIPMENT OF
LOUISIANA CORN
Cargo of tn New Grain Has Been Re-
ceived at New Orleans and Made
the Top Grade.
By Associated Press


NEW ORLEANS, September 49,
For the first time in the history of
the Board of Trades supervision of
the grain inspection at the port of
New Orleans a shipment of corn was
inspected aboard river steamer
Tuesday. The shipmnt included 166
sacks of the Louisiana crop and the
corn was among the finest ever seen
here. 1t graded No. yellow, the top
grade, and sold shortly after being
inspected at the top of the market.
The shipment arrived on the steam
boat VIM. Garig and came from the
Blue Cane plantation on the Black
River, in Catahoula parish. It was
raised and shipped by ]. S. Trisler, a
prominent planter of that section, and
was consigned to W. B. Thompson &
Co. After making the No. 2 grade IL
was sold through James G. Duncan,
local broker, to George B. Matthews
& Sons. 1t is understood that the
corn will not be exported.
Not little interest attaches to the
arrival of the river shipment. 1t

||R. MOSS ADVOCATES
FLAT CULTIVATION

Mr.. B. L. Moss, special agent of the
United States Department of Agricult-
ure, has made careful inspection of
Mississippi crop conditions, and sug-
gests a remedy for some of the ex
listing evils, especially as this applies
to cultivation. Mr.. Moss says:
IN examining the cotton fields of the
piney woods section of the state dur
ing the present hot, dry spell, have
been especially struck with the i'm
mense number of young bolls and
squares that have parched up and
fallen off. This shedding seems to be
especially bad on the poorer, thinner
lands, and on all lands where the cot
ton has been laid by with a high,
sharp bed to it.
For several years l have been con-
WINGED that the farmer who laid by
on high ridge suffered an average
annual loss on both cotton and corn
OF from to dollars per acre. Of
course, this loss will vary very little:
but If it turns off dry, as it did this
year, any crop will suffer. There was
some shedding on all cotton fields
this year, but generally the higher
the bed the worse was the shedding
Here is the reason for this: The food
that the plant uses is taken up
through it's roots, before being taken
up this food must be dissolved in the
water in the soil. No plant can take
up food from the soil except in the
water taken up by its roots.
"In the first place, when throwing
up high ridge to your cotton or corn
you are generally using a pillow that
cuts large number of feed roots, the
very mouth of the plant, as it were

Back in 1884, according to Repre-
sentative Humphreys. Virginia and
Maryland, before they had Surren'
dered any Of their powers to the then
unborn government of the United
States, entered into treaty by the
terms of which they were to exercise
concurrent Jurisdiction "of all pira-
cieS, murders and other crimes, y
committed on the waters Of the PotU.
mac river where it formed the bound
ary line between them.
The supreme court of the United
States, Mr.. Humphreys says has de-
clared this compact still in force, and
it is being insisted that there is am
pie constitutional authority for con-
greSs now to empower any of the
states to enter into similar agree
ment If the resolution is agreed to-,
we will witness the unique spectacle
of plenipotentiarieS from these states
of the union assembling in dignity TO
negotiate a solemn treaty between

river where it forms the boundary

places witch have been cut off from
the man body of their respective
states by the shifting channels Of the
Mississippi river.
1t is claimed that at several points
notably Beulah Island, in Bolivar
county; Lake Jackson, in Washington
county and Centennial Island, at
Vicksburg, the river by making cut
offs has left these small tracts discon-
nected from their original jurisGic-
tiOn, and the due process Of law has
therefore been seriOusl. hampered

Breathe hyomei and Kill the Loathsome
Catasrh Germs.
Just as long as you have catarrh
your nose will itch, your breath will
be foul, you will hawk and spit. and
you will do other disgusting things
because you can't help yourself. The
germs OF catasrh have 2ce you in
their power; they are continually and
percistently digging into and irritat-
ing the mucous membrane OF your
nose and throat. They are now
making your life miserable: in time
they will sap your entire system OF its
energy, its strength, it's vigor and
vitality.
But there is one remedy that will
kill the germs and cure catarrh, and
that is Hyomei, the Australian dry,
air treatment.
Hughes the druggist, will guaran-
tee Hyomei to cure catarrh, or money
back. Don't delay this pleasant
antiseptic treatment. Breathe in

Charter Amendment De-
Clared Invalid

that whatever action the council had
taken in seeming antagonism to it
was done on his advice.
The Judge took the case under ad.
viSement; however. he said enough to
indicate that his holding would be
adverse to the city. In tact, he al
most stated that he did not believe
the city had a right to do electric
wiring and other kindred wCrk, re-
gardleSS of what its charter contained.
The case will doubtless find its
way to the supreme court unless the
council backs down.
LATER. The judge sustained the
contempt proceedings and imposed a
fine of $50 each on the mayor and
Councilmen Pierson, Brown and Nc
Daniel and j. w. Lowry, superin-
tendent water and light plant. The
collection Of the fine is to be suS-
pended.
The judge also declared the charter

brought against Mayor Tatum and

heretofore issued by the Chancellor
restraining the city from doing elec

council was presented to the Chancel-
Ter by CowleS Horton. Mr.. Horton
took the position that the amendment
to the city charter recently approved
by the Governor was invalid because
of Some legal delinquency in conven-
ing the council when it was ordered
and hence, if invalid, the council was
in the same attitude as before the
adoption of the amendment. S. A.

The opening address to the Union
was made by Hon. j. N. Powers,

tion. Mr.. Powers discussed former
organizations of the farmers in the
Grange and the Alliance and the les
sons learned from them. Mr.. Powers
devoted quite a deal Of his address to
education along industrial lines and
urged the farmer to support the

evidence OF an earnest effort to post
himself on the needs of the farmers OF

that would be for the betterment of
the farming interest. Briefly sum-
