CORN SURPLUS ON PAPER.

Vicksburg Herald,
What to do with a prospective Lou
isiana surplus OF corn, seems to b,
bothering some of the papers o.
that state. In a communication to the
Times-Democrat of Sunday last Mr.
kiex FitzHugn, of this city, has sub
mitted some timely and sensible OBJ
servations. that are we'll calculated tt
relieve concern on this score. The
legged excess over the demand he
shows are not necessary. While teh
department or agriculture gives Lou
f-::ana a 1903 excess over 1908 of some
| 100000 bushels, he cites to the fact
that the state was a heavy buyer last
year ana that her next door neigh
TORS, Mississippi and Texas, are both
rated at millions of bushels below last
year. In the ligth of these simple and
potential circumstances talk of pre-
pairing Louisiana corn for export
would seem to be wasted and ridicul-
Gus. The following passage from Mr.
FitzHugh's article will be recognized
for its pertinent truth, by all who have
noted the past claims of surplus corn
crop.
Ny observation is, after an expert
ence of nearly fifteen years in the
grain business in this territory, that
our planters are disposed to overesti,
mate their yield of corn, and very OF
ten those who state in the summer
they have raised enough or more than
enough corn for home use, are obliged
to begin buying corn in the winter or
spring.
1t will be many years before Lou
isiana or Mississippi raise an export
corn surplus. Should one section of
ithr undergo such experience, there
will be markets in other nearby ESQ.,
lions. Even with the larger crops that
would result from more systematic
and scientific corn growing and with
a better appreciation of farming econ
omies, the resultant surplus would be |
put to it's greatest and most certain |
yalue, by conversion into high priced |
neat.

this morning was the heaviest they /
have had this week.
Van Watts had to face three differ I
emit charges, one for profanity and Two
for stealing. Van plead guilty to
cussing and said he did cuss that
woman out when she skuzed me OF
stealing"
Van is one OF those persons that
shun the very appearance of work and
at the same time wants to wear good
clothes And OF late it has been his
practice to get them from somebody
else. Four negroes were at court to
identify the clothing, hats and shirts
that the officers found in an old out
house down in the old junglas, where
Van put them. Regardless of the fact
that to the mind OF Van he had a
good excuse, the court could not see
it in the same light and imposed a fint
in each case and Van will now have
some days to put in for the city.
One of the accused created quite 6

The fact that man takes up all the
sidewalk in his journey and that his
breath has the smell of whisky, the
defendant did not think was proof that
man was drunk. Judge Davis did,

aurant of Kinnard, down on Mobile
street. For some reason that neither
party would explain each had it in

Owens went into Kinnard's place he
proceeded to make Kinnard mad.
When Officer Benns arrived on the
scene they had gone at it right and
were on the floor with Winnard on top.
After the evidence had all been heard
the court placed a fine of $3.50 on
each of them
Lorraine Hicks comes to court very
often and is always getting into some
thing that doesn't concern her. This
time she happened to be in the rest
aurant where Kinnard and Owens had
their little fight. Kinnards wife tried
to prove that Lorraine cussed her but
failed and Lorraine went free.
Scott Beason and Viola Cole, and

good friends. Yesterday afternoon
Scott made his accustomed visit to
