In receiving the report of the
Grand Jury here in the Feb Term of
of Circuit ourt.Judge Hardy made
some. commendable observations rel
ative to the necessity from human
tartan standpoint as well as legal one
for the provision of separate apart
ments for the races as well as sep
crate apartments for the sexes in Jail.
He cited that this was statutory re-
uuirement and hence incumbent upon
every Board of Supervisors to pro
vide. He stated that Wayne County
has recently FASTENED to make that
provision and that he trusted Greene
will also. Every true Caucasian sit
ting on a Board having the power
under our laws devised by Southern
ers for such relief should thank God
we have the power, and diligently
set his influence to work to this end.
The placing of whites and negroes IN
same or even adjoining cells is a rot
ten shame and should be discontin
tinued wherever it is being practiced

The Ledger feels that Unnecessary
alarm Is felt in South Mississippi
over the proposed reduction on the
lumber tariff. We are unable to see
where such great and immediate ca
!amnities would befall us,as such a
great per cent of our lumber is export.
Then too, we have been taught to
favor low tariff as a principle, and
we should not now lose our heads
and take the same inconsistent po-
sitions that we criticize our northern
and eastern friends for. We favor the
restorining eff a tariff on lumber from
across the Canadian border to CORE
spond to that of other manufacture
ed products in other parts of the
United States, only so long as it is
retained on these other products.

do not accord with schedules ia effec,

are based largely on mileage.
The new rates are divided into six

Oats Yield 200 Bushels To Acre.

BOHEMIAN, Oct. 27.-During the past
week the papers have contained dis
patch after dispatch telling of won.
derful yields of farm produce in vari.
Gus parts of the state and through it
all Gallatin county has preserved
silence. The threshing operations in
the valley are nearly completed now
and some of the results are almost
past belief. A phenomenal yield of
oats ls automatically reported from
the ranch of R. VOCAL, just north of
this city. From two and one.half
acres of Swedish Select oats Mr..
VOCAL threshed 480 bushels weighing
40 pounds to the bushel. The is al.
most 200 bushels to the acre and If
not supported by the statements of
and friends, who measured
the ground and saw the crop threshed,
it probably would not be believed.
1t is probably the heaviest yield of
oats ever raised in the state.
