BOLD HORSE
Theft CAPTURED

Nose Sloan, a negro living in Ar

IN his residence in the county Jail.
Saturday afternoon while walking
down Mobile street he spied a horse
that looked good to him. Needing a
little money and thinking that to sell
the horse would be an easier way than
working for it, he unhitched the horse
and rode it over to Jno. Petros' store
and offered it for sale, pricing the
animal at S25.00. Mr.. Petro purchased
same and paid Nose the money.
The owner of the animal arrived
about this time and found his harness
in the wagon but horse gone. He at
once reported the matter to Sheriff
Magruder. Mr.. McGruder went to the
negroes home and found him. The
negro told where he sold the horse
and the price paid for him, 1t The

JACKSON, Miss, August 9.-The
Mississippi railroad commission is
going to encounter a very hard time
in adopting the proposed new gcEed-
ule of rates on cotton as framed by
Chairman F. M. Lee, owing to the Wig
orous protests being made by boards
of trade and commercial bodies in the
interior towns

day at which this subject was dis
cussed between the commissioners,
freight traffic officials, and represen-
tatives of commercial organizations

centers have Joined in the protest
against the proposed rates, and it re-
mains for Mr.. Lee to demonstrate
to the satisfaction of the communities
involved that they will not be un
Justly treated by the schedule
The contention is made by the com
mercial organizations that Chairman
Lees schedule is r&Iically in favo,
of river towns, and will result in large
quantities of cotton being diverted t.
points having water communication
leaving the interior towns high and
dry, so to speak; that they will cause

made to carry them into effect the

the union because he is making an ef-
fort. in conjunction with the executive
committee, to restore members to the

Charges are also brought concerning
the count of the votes for the recent
constitutional amendments. The execu

in charge. They acted on their owl
tiative. They declared the result O
the vote on their own motion, ant
