A large amount of business vas done
this week by the board of supervisors,
which met last Monday and was IN seS
sion until Thursday-too late to get n
proceedings for this weeks paper. One
of the most important things done was
the letting of the contract, according
to the plans and specifications by Prof.
E. C. Ard of Starkville, for the repair
Of the court house. The work was
let to RUBBISH & Co., of Meridian Tor
the sum of SO, 500 and bonds for that
amount will be sold by the county.
Noxubee's court house, in the past
ten or fifteen year, has cost the county
a considerable sum of money. When
the. old court house began to crack a
number of years ago several thousand
dollars was spent in trying to repair 1t
but without success and it was finally
condemned and the present house cree
ted, at a lost of $50, 900. In the cree
ton foundation ofiithe southern wall was
put on a solid rock, and the balance
much nearer the surface, the conse-
Quence being that the north half has
given away and cracks more than an
inch wide have appeared in the walls
especially in the chancery clerks office.
Considerable work has been done and
much money expended in trying to
stop the cracking but without success
and the last grand jury called especial
attention to the dangerous condition.

board will be published next week.

Former Premier Balfour says
the world is within measurable
distance of the time when the
United States will require all
homegrown cotton for its own
industry; and he advises the cul-
ture Of cotton in other regions
of the world. The easiest pros
pect for the extension of cotton
raising is found in the United
States. MI. Balfour is not
aware, it seems, that the South
ern states could raise twice as
much cotton as at present if paid
to do it. There is not any great
encouragement. however, when,
the moment a decent price is
demanded for the staple, the
worlds cotton mills curtail their
spinning and refuse to buy.-Mo-

WHY Meat is Dear.

The New York World attempts
to explain why meat is dear and
cites the statement submitted by
Armour & Co. in connection with
the listing Of a bond issue OF
$50, 900, 900 on the stock eX-
change, which, the World sub
mits, shows the packing industry
to be even more profitable than
had popularity been supposed.
"The company, it appears"
comments the World, by its
own showing made a gross profit
of $40, 582, 900 for the year of a
capital stock Of $50, 900. 900 and
earned a surplus Of 81, 127, 926,
or the equivalent of a dividend
of 35.6 per cent.
Here is something more than
the potenUiality Of wealth beyond
the dreams Of avarice. 1t is ava
rice itself in the manufacture
and sale of a necessity of life.
Armour & CO. by their own adj
mission'have justified the charges
of extortion brought~against the
beef trust.
I'm the light ofrthis enormous
profit the explanation of the high
price of meat recently made by
the chairman of the packers
committee requires modification.
That explanation was in effect
that the packer, being obliged to
pay a high price for livestock,
passed on the additional cost to
the dealer, who, in turn. shifted
it to the consumer. This, how
ever, is not the whole story of
the rise Of mess beef from $3.50
a barrel in 1906 to $500 in
1908. For its full understanding
there must be taken into account
the millions in surplus profits re
served by the packers Ito con-
vince Wall street of the safe and
lucrative nature of their bust
ness.
1T is the necessity the. con-
sumer is under Of paying So. per
cent profit and guaranteeing
bond issues that makes meat

ing rice on his delta plantation,

considerable interest in that in

The Patton Case.

Considerable excitement on the main
portion of Main street was occasioned
last Saturday evening by the actions of
DIR. j. L. Patton, who was greatly
under the influence of whiskey, and in
that condition very quarrelsome. OF
fcers interfered and prevented any diff
iculty between him and others, but
own shoulders. By the exercise of a
great deal forbearance on their part,
however, everything was settled with
out any arrest or violence.
Sunday afternoon DR.. Patton was
again on the street in the same condi-
ton, and when Marshal Sargent was
seen approaching, advanced to meet
him, greeting him in rather a
jocular way. Mr.. Sargent met his ad-
vances in the same temper but pro-
| ceeded to caution him against such 0 n
duct as he had been guilty of on the
preceding afternoon. Whereupon DR..
Patton became very abusive and
threatening, and finally made a most
suggestive gesture toward his right hip
pocket. These who know the circum-
stances are unanimous in the opinion
that MI. Sargent would have been full
ly justified at that moment in shooting
his threatener O. in using the heavy
stick which he carries in lieu of a po-
liceman's billy. Instead he used only
his hands, and Selling his antagonist,
with one hand at his throat and the 9TH
er holding his right hand. succeeded in
o~verpowering him and with the assis-
lance of deputy marshal, Frank Cole
and deputy-sheriff Vernon Clark car
ried the prisoner to Jail. For his cool
ness, forbearance and courage in this
matter, to say nothing Of the physical
strength displayed. Marshal Sargent
deserves and has been given great COM
mendation.
The prisoner remained in Jail until
Tuesday when his father paid his fine
and took him away with him. He was
arraigned on four charges, two of car
rying concealed weapons, and two of
resisting officers. Mayor Allgood en-
tered sentences of one hundred dollars
fine and thirty days Imprisonment in
Jail, unconditionallv, in each case. But
he then told the prisoners father, a
most worthy gentleman. hat if he
would pay $500. 90 of the fines and the
prisoner would leave on that days
train, the balance of the sentences
would not be pressed. AS z result, the
$4,000 was paid and DR.. Patton left on
the $40 train. The action of the may
or too, meets with cordial approval; it
was both merciful and firm, and meets
the justice of the case and the welfare
of the town squarely.
Little censure of or u~nkindness tow
ard DR.. Patton is felt. It is we'll
known that when sober he was a very
genial, kind man, and that it was only
when greatly under the influence of in
toxicants that he manifested those
traits which got him into trouble. He
has many we'll wishers, here for his
future SUCCESS and haDOineSS

The Corn Question.

AS a result of the fact that so
many Louisiana farmers planted
corn on much of the land that
they formerly devoted to cotton,
the very heavy shortage in the
cotton crop did not produce the
calamity that would have been
experienced otherwise. The
prudent forehanded farmer
knew that it would be folly to
devote all his lands to cotton,
the chief result of which would
have been the fattening of boil
weevils; hence he reduced his
cotton acreage and put his sur
plus land in corn.
Fortunately the year was one
favorable to the production of
corn, the price of the cereal was
satisfactory, and the loss infict-
ed by a short cotton crop was
largely made up by the money
derived from the sale Of an ex-
ceptionally large corn crop the
largest by far in the histor of
Louisiana. In addition to the
benefits derived directly from
the sale of the corn, there are
more fat pigs in Louisiana this
winter than was ever the case
before, and a greater abundance
of everything needs for the sue
cessful conduct of the farm upon.
the cheapest possible basis.
1t is to be hoped that the les
son learned so we'll will not be
forgotten next year. The time
is here when the plans for next
years crop must be laid. Let
corn, oats and other forage crops
cut a still larger figure in the es-
innate for next year. Let COWS
and dairy products, pigs anC
poultry, fine colts and sheep be
given the attention they deserve,
and then with intensive farming
a small acreage in cotton will
produce as much as it will be
safe to experiment with during
the coming year. The thing is
to live at home and by diligent
work produce other money crops
which when properly developed
will pay infinitely better returns
than cotton ever did or can pay.
