Oil Mills Shut Down.

Three of the four cottonseed oil mills
located in jackson have closed down
and only one will run until about May 1.
There has been a decided advance in
the demand and the price for oil mill
products lately in this section, due to
many causes. Probably the greatest OF
these is the more general use of cotton
seed meal for fertilizing purposes, due,
in some measure, to the fact that many
farmers are this year mixing their own
fertilizers, purchasing the ingredients
separately, and using this meal as the
principal ingredient.

The anti-gambilng bill, which has

was passed last Monday afternoon
in the, senate by a unanimous vote

tackled onto it. The bill as passed
prohibits the indulgence in bridge

does not become effective until Oc-

INVOLVED IN SUIT

A$50, 900 damage suit had the a.
this week. The plaintiff was John
Hohshulz and the defendant. the
Potosi Zinc Mining company of Good
Springs.
Hohshulz was formerly employed In
the Potosi mine and in March, 1908
met with an accident which deprived
him of his eyesight, besides otherwise
disfiguring him for life. 1t appears
from testimony introduced that
the workmen employed on the grave
yard" shift had left missed hole"
and that 1t exploded while Hohshulz
was engaged In mucking out dirt.
The plaintiffs attorneys attempted
to prove that their client had no
knowledge of the existence of the
missed hole Notwithstanding that
fact had been reported to the shift
boss on the early morning shift
while the company's attorneys, adj
mitting that the hole" had been left
claimed that the men who went to
work on the next shift had been duly
notified of the danger. The plaintlffs
side of the case was represented by
