Special from United >Press.1
 Hartford March 16.-The reluctance of the present Legislature to exempt any corporation from taxation was in Htanced this morning, when the meas ure incorporatfn the St. Johns Indus trial School in Hartford came up in the House on a favorable report from the committee on Interpretations. Repre- Nentati@ D'Esopo of Hartford made brave fight for the measure, explaining $hats this was a charitable institution which cared for boys from to 21 years 4 age. supported only by it's friends, and certainly deserving aid from the 8fafe. The House did not look with favor on the matter, however, and the oest he could do was to get 1t tabled.
 Two measures. having direct refer erlce to the number of trollies owned by the Connecticut Company in this Slate, were turned down. One prohib- 1ted the Legislature from renewing any Ivfded that all existing franchises eonstructipn had been done.
 Inc House again refused to grant Charter for the city of Orange and re- 1ected a measure which would allow n1f1lfard and RQol rooms in places where uquor is soId. but finally reconsidered fhfs action and tabled the bill.
 The committee on Senate appoint ments reported favorab1y on the two following gentlemen for members of the etate Board of Education: Schuy- Ice Merritt Of Stamford. and Wm. O. Sumner of New Haven.

 As she raved on and pointed with
 her assegai. the lightning blazed out,
 and Ishmael, who had looked round
 at her bidding, saw Zulu warriors leaptng down from the crest of the wall, and Zulu captains rushing in by sight he slid to the ground purposing to reach his gun which he had left there, and defend or kill himself, who knows which But before ever he could lay hand upon it. those fierce men had bounced upon him like leop- ards on a goat.

BOSTON 6 MAINE
 REDUCES RATES
Adopts a New Schedule for
 Freight to Chicago Today.
Special from United Prese.)

Especial from United Prese.)
 Boston, March l6.-The reduced schedule of tariffs on import freight went into effect today upon the vari- ouS divisions of the Boston & Maine rail1 cad. Freight may now be shipped from Boston to Chicago upon the basis of the 1855 cent differential rate' the same that is in effect upon shipments made from Baltimore. It was to meet this Baltimore rate. which has been in existence for some time, that the cut was made in the rate upon the Boston & Maine lines.
 It was said at the freight office Of the Boston & Maine today that while the new schedule had made no differ ence in the quantity of shipments, that could be noticed as yet, it is very prob able a difference in volume would soon be noticed.
 The rate has the approval Of the Chamber of Commerce and the Mer- caants' Association. and it is thought it will divert to the port of Boston much of the trade that has been enter ing this country at Baltimore.

 Perhaps Ishmael might have done so. for the man was beside himself, but the Kaffirs would have no more of it. They rushed between them, lifting their spears threateningly.and shouting that they would not allow the blood of the white lord and the curse of the Inko- sazana- to be brought upon their heads and those of their families. Rather than that they would bind him, Ibu- besl and give him over to the Zulus. Then whether or not he had really meant to Kill Richard, Ishmael thought it polite to give way. -

Two Fine Porkers.

Mr.. /. N. East, Of District 5,
butchered two extra fine hogs last
week. One weighed SIS pounds
and one SIS. From them lie realiz-
led 800 pounds of fine lard, sold a
portion Of the meat and kept
enough for his own family use.
From d portion of the cash pro-
ceeds Mr.. East called and paid his
Subscription to The Leader, which
was something Of an innovation
itself, since through the more than
rs years of its existence, nearly all
of The Leader subscriptions have
been paid with money realized on
cotton, and it was re-assuring, too,
in that it was an augury of chang
ling conditions. when. as a people,
we may live and prosper without
beng so wholly dependent on cot
ton as in the past. We hupe many
more Of our farmer subscribers
may soon find themselves able to
pay for The Leader with cash real
lied on something else besides cot
ton.
Mr.. East says the two fine pork
lers mentioned were Of fine breed
cross between the Berkshire and
Poland China. and we're two and q
half years old He says he finds il
Ino trouble to raise good hogs and
has not been compelled to buy his
meat for 80 years.

The Law Against RaffIine.

For the benefit of officials who do
not know what the law is against
rafting in this State, as well as for
the benefit Of all others who may
not be informed on this subject,
The Leader publishes again the
section Of the Code Of 1906. It is
as follows:
Sec. 1856. RafJles If any
person. in order to raise money for
himself or another, shall publicly
or privately pur up or in any way
offer any prize or thing to be
raffied or played for. be shall on
conviction. be fined not more than
twenty dollars. or be imprisoned
not more than one month in the
county Jail, "
There have been one or two con-
victions in Justice Daughtry' s
Court recently for violations of this
law, and the officials should see
that it is rigidly enforced without
respect to persons. Rafting is
nothing less than a form of gam.
bling and should be treated accord,
ingiy.

County COnYlcIs.

The Warren county board Of
supervisors has been wrestling for
some time with the county convict
proposition. seeming to hesitate
between the leasing of a farm for
a term of years and working the
convicts on the public roads.
Here in Kinds county the prob
lem Of wha. to do with convicts
has been settled for years. The
county owns a farm near Raymond.
and it has generally been ,self-sus.
tanning. chat depending largely on
the number Of convicts and the sea-
sons.
OF late the county has also been
working the convicts on the public
roads. When work is slack on the
farm the hands" are put on the
roads, and they have made some
wonderful improvements. it is
stated, in the cutting down of hills
and making fills work that can
hardly be expected OF the county
road contractors.
Several months ago the board of
supervisors purchased monster
cage mounted on wheels, and in
thla movable jail the c0nEicts are
carried from place to place, and
Kept locked at night.
The Kinds county system is per-
haps the best that could be devised.

would do well TO come over and
take look. Clarion Ledger.
The Kinds system is substantial

where our Board of Supervisors has
also added a portable steel cage to

METHODIST PREACHERS IN HOT WATER
Sisters Of the Church Rebel Against What
They Regard as Unjust Treat
menl.

Gulfport, Miss, Dec. 19. The
Methodist preachers who attended
the annual Mississippi conferenGe
that convened at Brookhaven fourd
warm greeting awaiting thein
when they returned to their
charges along the coast. It will be
remembered that the conference
voted down the proposition to
memoriaIize the general conference
giving the women memers Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South.
all the rights and privileges ac-
corded the lay brethren. The
preachers expect more Of the wom-
en- than they do Of the men. They
must keep the pastor in touch with
his flock: in fact. do the heavy end
of the pastoral work. They must
fit and furnish and In many in
stances build the parsonages. They
must pay, as the Lord has pros
pered them, z into the church treas
ury, supporting the pastor and the
assessments, and work for missions,
yet they have no say in the church
affairs. Many Of the women are
getting tired of picking up the
crumbs that fall to them from the
feasts of their lords tables, and
they propose to do as their Puritan
ancestors did, and throw the tea
into the harbor if they must be
taxed thus and have no say.
The first question that greeted
the ministers when they returned
from conference was, How did
you vote on the memorial to the
general conference relative to the
wofnen?" If he said he voted
against it, the women had their
say, and that, too, in quite a
spirited manner. Some declare
that if their pastor voted against it
they will not go to hear him nor
contribute to his salary. Some
who had pledged handsome sums
for the endowment fund for the
care of the wornout and homeless
ministers have cancelled the con-.
tract, declaring that they might
look to their brethren for their
care. It is seldom that the Metho-
dist church has been SO agitated-
over any question. The only ex-
cuse offered by the preachers who
voted nay was that they thought 1t
a woman S suffrage movement.
