RAILROADS SHOW GAINS.
Illinois Central, Y. & M. V. and G. &
S. |. Report.

The quarterly reports of three of the
most important and best-paying rail-
road systems in the state, just receiv-
ed, carry some rather interesting sta
tistics. The trio alluded to are the
Gulf and Ship Island, Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley and the Illinois Central
systems, which cover a large proper
ton of the railway mileage IN the
state and all sections.
The statement received from the
Gulf and Ship Island shows the re-
ceipts from transportation revenue to
have been $473,540.S9, while miscella-
neous revenue amounted to $S,277.14.
The operating expenses, taxes and mis-
cellaneous charges against revenue
amounted to $310,1S727, leaving a net
revenue balance of $171 ,63O.76,.
The report from the Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley shows a decided pick
up in revenue. There was a total for
transportation of passengers and mer-
chandise of $2,25S,2 79.0S, with an ad-
ditional $25,O64.94 for miscellaneous
revenue, which gives a gross income
account of $2,2S3,344.02, which was an
increase of over quarter of million
above the same quarter of 1909. The
report of the Illinois Central shows
the largest volume or business, and
while there was a balance to credit
account a slight increase in that re-
spect is shown compared with the
quarter ended June 30, 1909. There
was received for transportation the
sum Of $3,5OS, 64696, and incidental
revenue of $29,0S9S3. giving gross
revenue account Of 1887, 736.79 The
total for operating expenses and taxes
amounted to $2,7S3,165.72, which left
net revenue account of $754,571. The
same balance in 1909 was $7S0,S3S. IT,

STATE WANTS s115,ooo,ooo.
Suits Brought Against the Fire Insur-
ance Companjes,

The taking of dispositions in the eel
ebrated S115,000,000 penalty suits
against the fire insurance companies
doing business in Mississippi, alleging
violation of the antitrust laws, was
resumed in this city today. A dozen
or more special agents representing
various insurance companies were
present to give testimony.
This is but one branch or the insur-
ance litigation, the companies involved
in the present hearing being those al.
legged to hold membership in inspec.
ton and rating bureaus. Shortly af'
ter these suits were filed in the First
chancery district similar proceedings
were instituted against the non-board
companies, about fifty in number, by
District Attorney j. d. Thomas, in the
chancery court OF Warren county. Tho
total penalties which the state seeks
to collect from fire insurance compan'
les to about $115,0 900, and, should
the courts sustain the contention OF
the attorney-general, and impose the
maximum penalties, it would put hall
the insurance companies doing bust
ness in the state permanently out OF
existence.

MOSS EXPECTS HALF A CROP.
Government Expert Tours Fields in
South Mississippi.

OOutn WlSSlSSlPPIs
District Agent b. l.. Moss, Of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstrative
Work, has, during the past two weeks,
covered a large part of the boil weevil
area of South Mississippi, and has the
following to say relative to crop con-
ditions in his section:
"A careful inspection of cotton fields
along the Illinois Central from Jack
son to the Louisiana line, indicates
that all of this territory will, in all
probability, produce better than half
a crop of cotton, despite the adverse
influences that have affected it. This
view is shared by most of the local
crop authorities, who have closely
watched conditions. A severe freeze
the last of April ruined all chances of
a very large crop and the result of
this, coupled with reduced acreage,
an almost unprecedented wet spell,
and the ravages of the weevil, will
necessarily mean small crop.
Reports from the southwestern
part of the state, where the destruc-
dictate from so to 60 per cent of a nor
NAL crop on the acreage planted. Close
observers from these counties seem
agreed that the production per acre Is
going to be far greater than last year,
despite the bad season experienced.
I'm the territory adjacent to Jack
son the indications are for as good or
better crop than last year. The wee
vii covers all of Kinds county, but over
the eastern half the infestation is COM
paratively light, and this, with the Wig
orous war that has been made on the
pest, means good crop. In the west
ern and southwestern part of the coun-
ty the weevil has been a serious fac
tor, and only half a crop of slightly
better can be hoped for.
Without exception, wherever hard
fight has been made against the Vice.
VIII fairly good crops are the result
The farmers and business men are
that with anything like a normal sea-
son and by a close adherence to cultu-
raj methods, good crops can be grown.
In fact, this has been abundantly prov
en- this year. This spirit of hopeful
ness is fortified by the biggest corn
crop ever produced in South Missis-
sippi and by the presence of plenty of
good hogs on nearly every farm.
1.-THE community that buys meat and
corn next year will be the exception
1t is, in fact, not improbable that some
counties will export rather than i'm
port these commodities"
What Mr.. Moss has observed and
which he gives expression to In the
above interview has been noted quite
generally by other observant men who
have been over the interior and stud
led the situation at close range, and
whether there be slump in cotton,
there will be decided increase in hog
and hominy.

GUS progress, almost cyclonic sacrifice
of old ideas to the new. Traditions,
customs, habits and creeds perish
overnight. Yet even from this social
chaos few forces may emerge al
most primeval. Will love be such a
force? Or shall the twentieth century
maiden yet taste the bitter truth of
the cynic's claim that love-making
will soon be classed among the dead
arts?
/ Love! It has made humanity happy

Men have been hanged for it and
women have smilingly died for It,
Armies have been slaughtered that a
king might hold the woman he loved
in his arms once more, and modern
fortunes have been wrecked for the
kiss of woman. Artists, novelists
and dramatists have won fame by pic
