May Maneuver in Mississippi Battlefield

The proposition and movement being
launched in certain circles, especially in
Vicksburg, and by others interested, to
have Mississippi reach out for the gen
eral maneuvers of the Regular army or
CARNATIONS in conjunction with the
several State National Guard organiza-
tions in 1910, has received a fresh i'm
petus by the discussion which has nat
urally grown out of the mingling to-
gether of so many practical military
men here the past ten days. 1t is not in
any sense a competition for an encamp-
ment of state troops along with regu-
lars, such as is in progress here now,
but the scheme is more ambitious. 1t
contemplates the bringing of from 5000
to 10000 troops to Mississippi soil, and
transfer the periodical maneuvers from
Chickamauga to the historic heights and
redoubts around Vicksburg.

Both Have Histories.

Among the companies comprising the
Mississippi National Guard there are
some of them that boast a historic
lineage and glorious past, among which
may be mentioned the famous Volunteer
Southrons of Vicksburg, which boasts OF
no less illustrious a founder than Jeffer-
son Davis himself, which was organized
back in the latter '4Os, and formed a
part of the First Mississippi regiment,
which he led at Buena Vista and Cheru-
busco. Just as historic and interesting
is the organization known as Company
C, Second infantry, or the Columbus
Rifemen, which was organized in 1887,
and was engaged in the Mexican War
along with the Volunteer Southrons;
went to the Confederacy in the early
part of 1861, and has the distinction of
having furnished four brigadier-generals
to that service.

Petition tor Soil Survey.

A petition is being circulated in the
Seventh congressional district asking the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton to authorize soil survey for that
district. The chief reason offered by
Congressman Dickson for asking soil
survey at this time is the fact that the
boil weevil has invaded every county in
his district, and he believes that a soil
survey would enable the agricultural
interests to more intelligently determine
the crops, other than cotton, to which
the soil of that section is best adapted

Another View of the Saloon as Bust

recent local Prohibition battle in Bat

it paid some $26,50O revenue, half of
which would support a large number

Cotton growers in the southwestern
counties of Mississippi, where the boil
weevil has made its appearance, are, as
a rule, indorsing the theory advanced
by Prof. Newell, State entomologist of
Louisiana, that the intensely hot weather
now prevailing in this section is literally
cooking the eggs and larvae of the boil
weevil, and greatly diminishing prospects
of continued ravages by the pest, thus
showing that even sizzling weather has
its uses in the plan of nature.

the formation of trusts and combines.

various fire prevention and inspection bu.

The contents of the injunction bill
have not been officially announced, but
it is learned that the penalties claimed
will even exceed two penalty suits in
Clay and Harrison counties against the
Standard Oil Company, aggregating $22,-
100000 and the suit against the alleged
lumber trust, filed by the attorncy-gen-

more than $14,000,000.
Best Encampment Ever.
Major-General Keesler, speaking IN re-

This Is without doubt the best camp
the Mississippi National Guard has ever
had, which is correct from several differ
ent points of view. First, it is a work
ing camp, and second, we have instruc
tors in every department, infantry, cav
airy, artillery, signal corps, hospital
corps and general staff work, who are
regular army officers, who know how to
do things and when to do them. In adj
dition, this is undoubtedly the best camp
site, taking it all round, that we have
ever had, with the sanitation as well
looked after as possible. We are outside
the city, yet convenient for all practi-
cal purposes, and have most every con-
venience that a soldier could have or
expect"

THE LIQUOR ISSUE
IN A NUTSHELL
Two Pointed Arguments Which the

Two Pointed Arguments Which the
Saloon Defender Can Never Answer.
While editors and philosophers are

misery, especially in our great cities,
two simple arguments against the
liquor traffic have been worked out
which go long way toward solving
the problem of all our economic trou.

The liquor traffic throughout Amer.
lea daily robs the grocer, the baker,
the butcher and all other legitimate
business of millions Of dollars which
otherwise would have been exchanged

Transforming a Nation at 10 Cents a

The first and perhaps the more
widely circulated OF these two argu-
ments now in use in all Prohibition
campaigns is the simple list of provi-
sions. fruit and other groceries which
the drunkard's family might have in
one years time if the victim of liquor
invested in the items listed the 10
cents day he spends for beer or other
liquor. The details Of this argument
vary in different sections, but here is
one striking presentation of the argu-
ment as recently circulated in Day

Federal Position Goes
to Outsider---Not a
Carpetbagger.

A Washington official, at present con-
Eected with the Department of JUS
tice, is to be appointed the Second
Federal Judge for Hawaii. He has al
ready been selected and there has been
correspondence on the matter going on
for some time between Washington and
Honolulu.
Governor Frear yesterday stated that
this news was correct, but he declines
at this time to give out the name of
the official SO selected.
The candidate for the iudgeship was
chosen by President Roosevelt, who
asked Governor Frear If there would
be objection raised in Hawaii to the
appointment of his man. The Presi-
dent was told that there would not be-.
Last evening Governor Frear stated
that the matter of the appointment of
this official to the new judgeship was
proposed some time ago by President
Roosevelt, this being before any can
didates from Hawaii had been an
nounced The Governor stated that he
had not heard from the present Ad-
mnistration as to what course might
be pursued, but gave as his opinion
that had Judge Ballou remained cam
didate, he would most likely have been
appointed.
The Governor stated that the Wash
ington candidate was man OF ability,
and his appointment would be of great
value to Hawaii, to both the commu-
nifty and the bench.
DIT would be case of merit and
worth. then, and not of earpetbag-
ging?" was asked of the Governor.
The latter reiterated his statement
that such a man as the President then
had in mind could not be regarded as
being in the carpetbag class by any
means
