So Aviator Gives Up Attempt to Fly at
Mexican Capital

Mexico City. Mex, March 24.-Al-
berto Braniff. the Mexican aviator, has
abandoned experiments here and has
shipped his aeroplane to Vera Cruz
Braniff never succeeded in flying very
high nor in staying long in the air. He
and turned them loose. They invari-
ably flew close to the ground and not
more than mile or More than
half the birds died upon alighting.
This proved, Braniff says, the impos
sibility of flying in this altitude.

ency: That John Wells charged with
numbering Joe Sanders, in the Circuit
court of Rankin county, Miss, about eleven
(II) years ago at the August term of said
court by agreement sentenced to imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for life. That
he has served as such convict for III
years, and has been obedient to orders
and established good reputation for a
convict. That the man he killed had
threatened to kill him and was a DANCE
rous and violent character, and John
Wells had good reason to believe his life
was in deadly perial. We think Wells
has been sufficiently punished under the
circumstances and therefore pray that he
be pardeTsd.

TOWARD A LIFE OF SANITY.

The tendency of modern life is toward

Mr.. Fallo speaks no English, but
through his daughter he explained yester-
day that he remembers well the appear
ance of the comet in 1885. AT the time
he was living in Italy. The comet then,
as now, was best seen at about 4 O'Clock
in the morning, but toward the end of
its appearance, was best seen at about S
o'clock. 1t attracted great attention then
and was brilliant.
Mr.. Fallo came to the United States
in 1852, and engaged in the fruit bust
ness. His "reminiscences of early New
Orleans are interesting. His present hcme

A MARVEL OF NATURE.


Changeless arctic temples of ice amid
the icy deserts of Greenland were found
by the survivors of the i'll fated Erickson
expedition to the north pole, says a re-
cent writer. A crystal place of super
human architecture, vaster than a dozen
catherdrals and Egyptian temples, re-
splendent with jewels and endless decora-
tons of ice, is described Created by ma
ture in forbidding wilderness, it frigh-
tened and awed the explorers The dreams
of poets and the fancics of epic bards
were surpassed by this vision Of colossal
lcvliness which the painter Achton Friis,
member of the expedition, endeavored
to carry away for the benefit of the dwell
ers in civilization.
More than a mile in length the lofty
nave of this temple was pierced at inter-
walls with windows through which the
cleaning sun rays sparkled on columns
and cubes and immense clusters of sta
lactites like pendent jewels. Through the
center of the ice palace flowed stream
of water whose occasional ripple and
splashing fall the majestice silence.
Far north it is possible that ice palaces
and temples should endure without change
longer than human structure of stone.
The carcasses of prehistoric monsters have
remained inviolate in arctic tombs for
thousands of years, while granite pyra-
mide have worn away and Babyloian civil
lization has been buried deep in the earth.
Some day the world may decide to store
its most valuable records of posterity at
the poles.

for several decades. Much of the cotton,
when the freeze came, had been worked
one time and was growing nicely. The
farmers reported better conditions than for
many years. They had planted early,
making careful selection of seed, in or
der to circumvent, as far as possible, the
boil weevil. Crops were farther advanced
at that time than in any time previous
year, and conditions generally were bet
ter. While much of the land was repIan-
ted, the crop will be late and the yield
light, is the opinion of well informed men
from all parts of the state.-Yazoo Coun-

STATES COTTON SHORT-PRO
DUCTION WILL BE Is PERCENT
SHORT ON ACCOUNT OF
FREEZE.

According to the best information OBJ
tainable, IS per cent will cover the loss
to the cotton crop of the state through the
recent freeze.
While much of the cotton was destroyed
by the freeze, it was SO early in the sea-
son the crops could be replanted. The re-
planting has practically been completed
in most parts of the state, but the acreage
will not be as large as last year, because
of the scarcity of seed.
The oil mills, most Of which had fair
amount Of seed on hand, shut down i'm
mediately following the freeze and placed
the seed on the market at $35 a ton.
Much of this was not choice planting
seed, but it was the best to be had, and
the acreage while fair, will fail of last
season.
Many planters, unable to get seed, ex-
cept from individuals at from SIS to $r25
ton, planted their cotton land, or that
part of it for which they could not get
seed, in corn or other crops. The Gotten,
in many places, while not killed, was so
badly damaged it will be stunted and
the yield light This condition extends
over the southern part of the state, but
covers only small portion of the cotton
lands. In other places the cotton was
killed only in spots and rquired but lit
,, tie replanting.
The condition of the growing cotton is
only fair, and crops will be backward,
giving the boil weevil, which has infes-
ted several southern Mississippi counties
a full sweep at the staple. The loss in
those counties from the weevil will equal
if not exceed that of the freeze, accord
ing to reports.
1t was at first reported that practically
the entire crop had been wiped out, and
it was in some northern counties, but
generally speaking the damage was not
SO great as at first reported or expected
by the farmers themselves.
But the production of cotton in Missis-
sippi according to the best information,
will fall far short of any previous year

ing waged against swollen fortunes. The
fight should not be upon the individual
bur upon the laws and lawmakers that
are responsible for such conditions. Many
of the individuals today who have their
millions are using money toward the
ameleioration of human kind or the
founding of institutions for medical re-
search, for the placing of libaries in
communities for the public good Others
are maintaining schools, hospitals and
contributing to missions.
Why treat the individual that has
amassed his millions with contempt and
thus destroy the milk of human kindness
that is within him. Make war upon the
conditions that make him such.
Money is something that the human
race is striving for. It enables us to
have the comforts, surplus gives us the
uxuries. If we have it and want a
work of art we can buy it. If we feel
worn-out and feel the need of change
of climate we can get it. 1t enables
one to take time for the pursuit of cul-
ture.

TENNESSEE GUSTS STANDARD
OIL.

Suppose all the other states followed
the course of Tennessee forbidding the
Standard Oil Company to do business
there? The supreme court of the United
States has just sanctioned the action of
Tennessee, and would do so as to all states
that prohibited the monopoly from doing
business. If the Standard Oil Company
were expelled from all other states the
monopoly would not be destroyed, be-
cause it is the name or the form of the
monopoly that has been banished
Mr. Rockefeller and Mr.. Archbold
have net been forbidden TO do business in
Tennessee. They can organize another
company. They can sell oil as individuals.
Nobody can buy oil from their refneries
if they do not want to sell it to them.
All proceedings like those taken by
Tennessee, including the federal suit now
awaiting decision by the supreme cours,
are likely to be unavailing as check
to the crime Of the individuals who main
tain the monopoly. Mr.. Justice Holmes,
who writes he opinion overruling the
argument of the Standard Oil Company,
uses an illustration that suggests the right
remedy when he says: at hardly would
be an answer TO an indictment for for
gerry that the instrument forged was a
foreign bill of lading, or for assault and
battery hat the person assaulted was en-
gagged in peddling goods from another
state Evidently the supreme court thinks
of the transactions liz terms of crime.
Judge Lands put it more strongly when
he said that Standard Oil rebates were
worse than counterfeiters. The remedy
