Drowned While
Fording Greek.

A farmer who resided about
twenty miles southeast Of Wibaux,
whose name w are unable to learn,
was drowned at Elliott crossing
last Wednesday morning.
AS near as we can learn, the
gentleman had evidently ventured
to cross the creek on a saddle
horse, and fearing the horse could
not carry him over, he quit the
saddle and was drowned. How
ever, the horse got through alright,
and was found Oh the opposite
side of the stream from which the
man ventured to cross.
Later-We learn that the un-
fortunate man was Erwin Her.
rick, and had been in the employ
Of Chas. Elliot. The body has
not been found up to this time,
and it is believed that It was car
ried away in the swift current.

part of town. DIR. Dcnohue made a
trip to- Livingston last week to Sc
cure it.
The immediate necessity Of a
building is due to the fact that DR..
Donohue has entered into a con-
rract with Wrenn 4 Greenough,
the railroad contractors, to act as
company physician at this end Of
the new road. He must therefore
prepare for the reception and care
of patients at once. The hospital
will, however, be a public institu-
ton, equipped along most mouern

ere electrical shock au his home,
on Bever creek four miles north of
town, in recent storm.
No material damage was done,
but it was, evidently, a narrow
escape for the youngest child who
was sleeping in carriage, of which
the tightening tore the handle off.
The brick chimney was slightly
damaged, and number of mirrors
and pictures were broken as re-
suit Of the tightening burning the
cord by which they we're suspended.

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget of State News Items Gathered by Our Special
Correspondent at Jackson.
Education Statistics.


y pamphlet recently issued under the
auspices of the conference for education
III Mississippi contains considerable in.
formation i'll the way of statistics, tab
ulated and collected with much care and
after painstaking research. Among
other contents is Il table showing what
has been done in the counties in regard
to the special county and rural district
lcvies. This table shows that of the
seventy-eight counties, forty-seven of
them, or slightly less than two-thirds
of the number, have levied special
tax with which to supplement the State
appropriation, and SO lengthen the exist
ing terms for the rural schools. This
special levy ranged from one-half to 3
mills, and the length of term was in
creased thereby an average of SO per
cent.
As to municipal separate school dis
tricts, the report of the State superin-
tendent for 1907 is quoted from, show
ing that there were at the time of that
report 119 of these in the State, which
employ 913 white teachers at an av-
erage monthly salary of $3.50, and
enroll 36,767 white children, the schools
being run on an average of 166 days in
each year. They expended the sum of
SS42,5S5 on their schools, nearly one
half of it being raised by local levy. In
the same year these districts spent an
aggregate of S239,071 for school build
ings alone, while in the rural districts
there was similarly invested only $685.

No Shelter for WHISKY Boats.

The Judiciary committee of the house
reported favorably the Humphreys res
olution, authorizing the States of Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Arkansas to en-
ter into compact or agreement as to
the jurisdiction of offcnscs committed
on the Mississippi river. Heretofore
there has been considerable trouble in
dealing with whisky boats on the Mis-
sissippi river, because of the difficulty of
proving whether the sale was made Oh
the one or the other side of the thread
of the stream, and in consequence con-
victions in either State have been rare.
Under the terms of this resolution these
States can now appoint commissioners,
who may negotiate an agreement by
which all three States can exercise con-
current jurisdiction over all offenses
committed on the Mississippi river, and
so make the further operation of whisky
boats impossible.

Shredded Pea Vine.

Commissioner of Agriculture Blakes-
Ice has in his office something new in
the way of fiber, or rather substance
that, while not new in itself. is capable
of development into material which may
yet mean much to the man who accom-
plishcs 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 Il shred of Spanish moss,
but when several are taken and twisted
together they are as unbrcakable as a
piece of galvanized wire, and, as Com
missioner Bakcslce observed. there is no
doubt some process by which the same
material could be spun into yarn or
packing twinc, and he intends to take
the matter up with Director Hutchin-
son, of the State experiment station,
and see what can be done.

notice that the commission would be
ready to receive proposals for the privi-
lege of keeping and handling the public
funds of the State for the year begin
ming Feb. II, next, and that said pro-
posals would be received up to Feb. /.
With the circular was sent Il blank form
for proposal, upon which all informa-
tion required under the depository law

Silver Service Fund Secured.

When the State commission which has
the business of providing a silver scrv-
ice to be presented to the battleship
Mississippi meets to cast up its accounts
and to give the order for the service it
will find that the entire sum needed to
meet the expense of this donation will
have been raised. Mrs. NJ. +. Lockwood
of Crystal Springs, whose business it is
to raise the money as the agent of the
commission, announces that she has all
the money required with the exception
of about $500, which amount she will
have no trouble in raising. The service
is to cost $1,000, and there is an addi
tional expense of about $500, making
total of $500, and Mrs. Lockwood
has raised over $1,000.

License Tax Unconstitutional.

In the case of the Royal Insurance
Company VS.. the Yazoo-Mississippi Del
ta Levee Commissioners, being a suit
brought by the appellant company in re-
sistance of a privilege tax license levied
by the board, which was additional to
the State and county tax, the supreme
court held that the law was unconsti-
tutionally passed, and in direct conflict
with section 234 of the constitution,
which declares that no bill affecting
boundary changes or taxation matters
pertaining to the aforesaid district shall
be passed before the same bill shall have
been published for three consecutive
weeks in some newspaper published with
in the district.
