About Hamper Park.
Hattiesburg, Aug.

Hattiesburg, Aug. 8, 1909.
Editor Daily News.
Upon visiting "Kamper Park" few
days since, was most agreeably sur
prised to see such rapid advancement
in the work of making a splendid park
for our splendid city. The lay OF the
land is a kindly gift of Nature. The
natural basins for the lakes, the sweet
green islands. the splendid bridges
spanning the stream, the baseball dia-
mond, the pavilions under the cool,
green shade of the trees, the magno-
las, the grand old oaks, the splen-
did driveways, are taken together, a
fine combination, which in the near
future will be a realization. To the
members Of Hamper Park Commits
sion" who are earnestly endeavorins
to complete this worthy work, and who
are giving their energy and time,
would give unstinted praise and man!
thanks, for out of almost chaos, the.
are bringing fairy land" where the
citizens of our busy city will enjo!
their leisure hours and the children
spend many happy times.

NO ADVERTISING OCCASION.

The question of the proprlety of our
business men using the occasion Of
the picnic for distributing advertising
matter has been discussed and it mas
been decided that it would be very bad
taste to do so and that any advertising
matter used on that OCCASION would not
have the sanction of any member OF
any of the committees. It will not be
out of place, however, for business men
to have their cards for the occasion as
it will be the time for getting acquaint-
ed and business card is always prop.
er. 1t should be kept in mind that
this picnic was planned for the pur-
pose of getting our business men in
terested in knowing the extent OF our
agricultural resources and by doing so
it is hoped that it will encourage de-
velopment along this line, and that
they will also appreciate the import
ance of the farmers trade and put
forth forth extra efforts to provide
more conveniences for them. On this
occasion the matter is purely social
and educational and it is believed the
business men who attend will fully
appreciate this fact, and keep it free
from any business features.

ABOUT
SPECIAL
TAXES
Matter of Levying Taxes For School
Purposes is Left With the Boards
of Supervisors.

| JACKSON, August 11.-Those coun-
ties which levied a special school tax
| prior to the adoption of the code of
1906 may continue to do so, and to
change the rate or amount of the levy
| at pleasure, according to an official
opinion just issued by Assistant At
| torney General Butler, in response to
an inquiry from the board of super
visors Of Covingtou county, submitted
to State Superintendent Of Education
Powers and referred by him to the
attorney generals office.
That county has been leyying a
special school tax Of IL mills. but
now wants to reduce it to mills,
and desired information before reduc-
ing it without submitting the ques-
ton to a vote of the people, thing
they were not sure they had a legal
right to do. The opinion follows:
Dear Sir:-I have your inquiry in
which you submit the following:
For period of six or seven years
the board of supervisors of Coving-
ton county has levied a special school
tax of 1-2 mills. Before the law
was passed providing for an election
for same the board assessed every
year the rate mentioned. If the board
should so desire, can it reduce this
to mills without submitting it to
an election?"
The answer depends upon the pro-
per construction of section 1872 Oi
the Code of 1906 This statue was
fully considered by this office in an
official opinion to you under date Of
July 18th, 1908
It was there held that as to coun-
ties which had not adopted the plan
prior to October 1st, 1906, an cleo
ton was a condition precedent to
the levying of the tax and that as to
those counties the board of supervi-
sors was Invested of all discretion
in the premises It therefore becomes
material only to inquire if the levyins
and the amount of the tax is discre-
with the board in those coun-
ties which prior to the date men
toned had adopted the plan. The |
proviso reads:
provided, that boards of supervi-
sors in those counties where the tax
S now being levied shall have the
power to continue levying the tax
without an election"
There is nothing in the statue
-hioh. Is mandatory as to such boards
here is no way Of compelling them
0 levy the tax if they decline, as
acre is in the other counties, and it
ould therefore seem clear that to
lis extent, at least, the matter rests
the discretion of the board.
But does it say that if they do levy
e tax the amount thereof is discre-
mary with them. Or they shall be
MINED to the amount of the several
yies made prior to October LIST. 1906
d now allowable by law, I think
e amount of their levy is left to
cir discretion the same as the levy
elf.
therefore advise that the board
y continue to levy such tax as it
ght have done under section 4047,
le of 1892, the amount thereof not
exceed the maximum allowed by \
=, which by Chapter 2, laws of -

will doubtless grow to- great propor- tions, and forty inches will probably be needed to cultivate properly As to distance of plants in the row, the av- craze in Egypt is fifteen or sixteen inches. Two plants are always left standing together. Holes are made in the slope of the ridge, near the top, into which eight or ten seeds are placed to a depth of two or three inches This means one and one-quar- ter bushels of seed per acre. A water ing is then given. In about ten or twelve days the seeds germinate. To re-seed the misses, the seed Is soaked in water overnight, and the next day planted in the missing places, in same manner as the first showing.
 The writer has compiled this from the Bulletin on Egyptian Cotton, pub lished by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, with the hope that the information given may be of value to the planters in Imperial Val ley who propose trying cotton the present year

EPISCOPAL SERVICES
Arehdeackon Octavius Parker Comes to Valley to Organize New Par
 ish and Missions.

Imperial Valley is to have regular Episcopal services. and it is probable a valley parish will be organized with services maintained at Fl Centro, I'm perial and Brawley.
 Archdeackon Octavius Parker, from the Sacramento Diocese, has come to Imperial Valley to undertake this work He held services in the Water Company Hall at Imperial last Sun day, and nineteen communicants were present.
 Tomorrow forenoon at II o'clock Archdeackon Parker will hold public services in the Fl Centro Masonic Hall. and all Episcopalians of Imper- ial Valley are invited to attend. A choir will furnish music.
 On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day of next week he will make per sonal canvas of Fl Centro. to meet adherents to the Episcopalian Church and those who care to support the proposed new work. If sufficient en- couragement is given it is probable that arrangements will be made to have regular services in Fl Centro ev- cry two weeks. Weekly services are to be held in Imperial and services on alternate weeks in Brawley

PICKING COTTON BLOSSOMS.

G. H. Wilsie last week picked a fine boquet of Egyptian cotton blossoms from last years cotton stocks, on the Wilsie ranch, which had put forth new growth and blossom this spring. The blossoms were sent to friends in Green Bay, Wisconsin, who are hug. ging red.hot stoves and signing for spring to arrive. The new growth which produced these blooms was at the top of the old stocks, but shoots have also been sent out the past month from the roots and are now more than two feet in height

W. Fl Holabird, of lOs Angeles. takes great interest in the cotton growing prospects of Imperial Valley and is giving valuable aid to the farm CTS by gathering and compiling infor. nation on the subject Following is s recent contribution by Mr. Holabird to the Los Angeles Times:
 The Nile Valley of Egypt is about $50 miles in length, land under cul- tivation and in process of reclamation, about 2,S20,000 acres. This is the area under basin system of irrigation The acreage under cultivation in the Delta of which Cairo is the apex-is 3,43O. 900, making the total area of irrigable farm lands in the Nile Valley. 5,75O,- 900 acres
 It is not necessary to go into de tailed description of the irrigating systems. The object of this article is to show the similarity of the Nile Valley in Egypt to the Colorado river Valley below Yuma and in Imperial Valley.
 The thirtieth parallel passes direct ly through Cairo. while Yuma lies ex- actly midway between the thirtieth and thirty-fifth parallels The water of the Nile at time of flood contains from 150 to 200 parts per 100000 of suspended matter If TO parts are as sumed to be an average about t3O parts are deposited in the irrigated basins. The annual deposit is equal to between 14,OO8 and 15.OOO pounds of sediment per acre
 Similarity of Soil.
 One noticeable feature in the chem ical elements of Nile soil is the de- hciency in nitrogen Two wheat crops cannot be satisfactorily grown in -uc. cession- As the Nile mud does not contain sufficient nitrogen, they alter nate with a bean crop. which removes more phosphoric acid and more pot ash than nitrogen. which element the bean obtains from the air. Wheat av- erages< thirty to thirty-fve bushels -ifeT atr'5s;-S3eans. thirtyfve to forty
 Upper EgyQt is densely populated, in some proyiDee4, as many IS two persons per acre. Labor is cheap, ot which l will write later on Egypt has been inhabited so many centuries that neither the memory nor history of man runneth back to the beginning. SO it is not surprising that the nat ural soil is worn out. Manure is greatly appreciated, but is obtainable only in limited quantities.

Cotton Cultivation.

It is an axiom of all good cotton planters that the land should be plowed early and left exposed to the ! weather for some time. In a rainless ! region there is nothing to fear from the teaching effects of rain, while it is universally accepted that cotton sown on such land germinates better and grows more regularly. The land thus plowed is made into ridges Gas we would term it, "back-furrowed, :" which I observed is the universal prac- tice in China and Japan. All the i'm mense fields of Manchuria were back furrowed and the seed planted on the slope of the ridge)
 This brings the cost of the several plowings (say four times) and the ridging to total of $6 or S7 per acre per annum
 (How much an intelligent American farmer would save by the best of tools and his own excellent sense will have to be demonstrated.)
 Cotton has deep tap-rOot and re- quires a deep stirring of the soil When cotton is soWn on badly-pre- pared ground or very lumpy ridges, germination is uneven and irregular
 The writer has often seen land be. ing prepared for seeding in Imperial Valley that was extremely lumpy, in no condition for any kind of crop, doubtless due to blowing in unfit con dition. Unquestionably a poor crop resulted and the soil or climate cursed when man alone was to blame.
 Growing cotton is not irrigated by flooding the land, the water Is run in the rows between the ridges, the plant getting the moisture by percola- tion. Thirty inches between the rows is an average distance in Egypt. as against four feet In America

BRIEF COMMENTS ON
THE CHRONIC KICKER
Though a Disagreeable Factor He
Has His Uses in the Councils
Of Men.
Third of Series of Contributions
on Trade Union Characters
by Rev. Charles Stetzle.

Whenever a resolution is introduced
he is sure to offer an objection. Some
times he kicks on the subject matter
itself. Then he protests against the
form in which the resolution has been
presented. Frequently he finds fault
with a word in the construction Of
sentence, and often he will offer an
amendment which puts the original
resolution out Of business. He is
primed for every parliamentary dis
pute. He seems to he familiar with
every communication that is read at
the meeting Of the local. He knows
the leaders and their foibles. He is
on the job all the time, with both feet,
both fists, and with a tongue that is
sharper than tWo-edged sword. He
takes himself seriously. Never does
he crack a smile. He has mission,
and everybody soon comes to know
It, Often have we wished him In Tim
bucto, where he could spout to his
hearts content on all the "isms' that
so glibly glide off, the end Of his
tongue.
A Necessary Factor.
But, honestly, we'd miss him II he
should 60. Miss him not because we
love him, perhaps, but because he is
one Of the necessary factors In our
development. =: AS a matter of fact,
without him we'd soon drift into r1t,
| because most of us are too lazy to
think of an objection, to say nothing
of an original proposition. There's at
least one thing that we must say to
! his credit-|he always attends the
meetings. Furthermore, he must spend
considerable time In reading and In
study to know as much as he does
about current events and the theories
which men are discussing. He ac-
tually thinks. He may not always be
right, but he certainly Is awake-and
that's another point to- his credit.
Also, he. keeps the rest Of US awake.
And that isn't bad. But he is more
often right than not. We object to
him because he is like bee b11zzinR
about our heads, but even the bee Is
a usemul creation. e. .., #5s
