ing certain Improvements in the judicial
procedure of the State, which he thinks

Costs S25 to Eat With Taft.

According to the program mapped out
by the Taft day committee on arrange
ments, the banquet to be given at the
Edwards House November 1 will be a
nine course function, and incidentally the
most complete affair of the kind ever
undertaken in Mississippi. There will be
no complimentary cards sent to any one
in Mississippi, the tickets to be distrib-
uted at $25 each, and as there will be
limited number of seats about the
board, inquiries must be sent to L. B.
Moseley of the invitation committee.

States Cotton Crop.

Capt. c. H. Neylands, superintendent
and manager of the states convict farm,
states the outlook on the state farms
is anything but encouraging. The boil
worms and sharpshooters have practically
finished the work of deterioration begun
on the cotton crop by the long drouth
and other unfavorable conditions, and
the states Golfers viii not be materially
enriched by the marketing of this years

Report of American Express.

Secretary Maxwell of the railroad COM
mission has received for filing the annual
report of the American Express Com
pany for the fiscal year ending June 80.
The report shows receipts on Mississippi
business of $165,511.76, against $216,-
s07.99 for the previous year. Thus 1t
will be seen that, while there has been q
decided falling off in the amount Of busi-
ness done, the company has. been able to
still make profit by a corresponding
reduction of. expenses, which has been
accomplished chiefly by an all around
reduction of salaries.

Predicts 15-Cent Cotton.

After practically covering the entire
State of Mississippi during the past few
weeks, which gave him. opportunities for
observation and study of the cotton sit
nation, President G. r. HightOwer of the
Mississippi Farmers Union expressed the
opinion that the conditions here, taken
in connection with those elsewhere about
the cotton belt, justified the belief that
middling staple ought to command not
less than Is cents pound. Speaking
generally President Hightower OBJ
served:
1.-The cotton crop of Mississippi is ex-
ceedingly short. Texas is even worse
than our own State; Oklahoma has re-
Gently suffered a great loss from the
drouth and hot winds; Arkansas is also
considerably below par; Alabama, while
short of last year, is not quite so bad
as Mississippi, Georgia and South Caro-
lima have fairly good crops in the south
ern portion, but the northern portions of
those States are short. Neither State
will make nearly so much as last year.
SO on the whole the indications point to
very short crop for the entire belt.
Trade conditions are fairly good. The
consumption of cotton kept the pace
with the production during the last year,
Notwithstanding the fact that we had a
large crop and poor trade conditions"
Bright Outlook for the /. I. & C.
Hon. Fl. L. Whitfield, president of the
Industrial Institute and College, who
was at the capitol Thursday, stated posi-
lively that he was not there in the in
terest of any judicial aspirant, but that
he is looking after the welfare of the in
stituton which he heads, and of which
he is pardonably proud.
You can say that we have everything
ready for opening up on the 3D. of Sep
tember, and that we expect large ini-
tial enrolment, fully up to the record of
previous seasons, and | expect in excess
of the record declared President Whit
field ~
As to the home improvement idea and
principle that he is endeavOring to in
cuIcate throughout the State, President
Whitfield is much encouraged, and ex-
poets that before another two years there
will be few counties without local Or
panization. There have been several Or
ganized already, and the number would
have been increased but that he has
been occupied with considerable office
work, and also the preparation of home
improvement literature, but the move
ment has gotten substantial start, and
the follow-up will be matter largely OF

WANTS DIVORCE
AFTER A YEAR

After being married less than
year, Mrs. Madelaine e. Granholm
wants a divorce from John H.
Granholm because she alleges he
treats her in an indifferent and
cold way and says sarcastic things
about her. She began divorce
proceedings against him in the SUI
perior court today, asking that
the marriage contract be set aside
and that her maiden name, Made
line e. Beeler be restored to her,
Additional charges mentioned
in her complaint are that her hus-
band has struck her several
times and corresponded with 9TH
er women. They were married
July II, 1908, and have no chill
dren or community property.

WOULD LIKE TO MAKE The
People PAY FOR VIADUcT

The viaduct committee will
meet this afternoon at A o'clock
and try to settle on some plan of
procedure for the tideland viaduct.
The question would have been
settled long ago, but for the own
ers of tidelands and the corpora
lions interested over there whose
representatives on the committee
have been vainly hoping they
could saddle the whole thing on
to the city at large.
The people would never stand
for this, and the members of the
committee know it, and even
those who would benefit by this
sort of an arrangement hardly
have the nerve to come out openly
and declare that is what they
want to do.
1t is this, however, that has
held the proposition back SO
long. The committee finally, it
is believed, will adopt the plan of
Judge Stiles for assessing the VIA
duct cost on the property bene-
fitted.
