Governor Noel is especially anx.-
Gus to see Mississippi represented
with a good exhibit at the Ohio VAL
ley exposition, which opens at Gin
cinnati in a short time, and is work
ing in accord with Commissioner or
Agriculture Blakeslee and Prof. T. N.
Low with a view to securing the
best obtainable for this purpose.
This is good opportunity to adj
vertise the resources of the state, and
it will be so close to the recent i'm
migrants convention in this city. Not
only Is desired for the state in par
ticular, but getting good exhibit for
the state will impress the Importance
of such an exhibit upon the indivi-
dual business men and farmers of
Mississippi
1t should be borne in mind that
the railroad lines such as the N. O..
G. NJ, the Q. and c., the l. c., Y. and
M. " and the NJ and o., are ready
to tender the use of their transpor-
tation facilities in order to move ex-
hibits of any character from Louis
lana and Mississippi to the Queen
City. All that the railroads ask the
people to do Is to place their speci-
mems or products at some point along
their right-of-way and they will do
the rest, delivering at the Mississip-
pi-Louisiana booths, space free of
all cost. and guaranteeing return if
the exhibitors so desire.
That exposition is to be an in
dustrial exhibition, to advertise moth
ing except the states and sections
from whence the exhibits may come.
1t is not to be trade show, nor 90
the railroads expect to make it in
sense an advertising medium for
their system. 1t is to advertise their
contingent resources and thereby
strengthening their system and devel-
oping the territory.

A question of validity of titles to
swamp lands held by the Wisconsin
Lumber Company, which was decid-
ed adversely to the company will be
carried to the supreme court The
point raised was that the titles to
some $4,000 or 10000 acres of land
were irregularly obtained through
subterfuge many years ago. The
subterfuge alleged to have been en-
ployed in the acquisition of these
lands was in the bringing in of ne
groes in carload lots, who duly set
tied upon their quarter sections
which has been obtained through the
land Office
This was especially the case in re-
gard to riparian lands, which were
thus "homesteaded, to be after
wards, as alleged, taken in by
big syndicate which had engineered
the homestead scheme.
The chancellor has held that as no
one ad tie right to acquire more
than the prescribed quarter section
in his own right, neither has he
the right to dispose of them for
syndicate purposes, and the question
to be decided by the Supreme Court
is as to the validity of the wholesale
transfers of these quarter sections to
the syndicate, which afterwards dis
posed of them to the Wisconsin
Lumber Company, the latter entering
into the contract apparently in good
faith
Should the chancellor be sustain
ed, it would mean the opening of the
door to wholesale litigation and the
forfeiture of numberless titles to
lands, which have been vested in in
dividuals and syndicates, not only
in the swamp section, but through
out the State generally.

adopted and cabled TO the leading
American bankers to the effect that,
beginning in November, American

New Plans for State College.

The new board of trustees of the
state college has adopted a new
plan, and one it is believed will i'm
prove the various institutions more
than any other one thing that could
have been done. The change is a
simple one, but has never been un-
dertaken heretofore for some reason,
though 1t seems apparent to those
who have discussed the matter that
it will be prolific of good results.
The plan is to place the institutions
on a business footing. 1t will sep
arate the educational and financial
features, making them distinct in
each of the colleges of the state.
This plan was suggested at the first
meeting of the new board July l.,
and since the recent tour OF IN
spection Of the /. I. & c., A. & M.
College at Starksville, University
Charity Hospital at Vicksburg and
Alcorn A & M. College, the trus-
tees are more impressed than ever
of segregating the financial educa-
tional and administrative branches
Of these institutions.
The board will look after the fl
nances of each of these institutions,
while the president will look after
the administration of affairs at each
while the faculty of each will be
responsible for the educational fea-
tu-e. A modern system of book
keeping is to be installed at each,
and every possible improvement
made along this line. A secretary
will be the financial man of each in
stitution, and will be responsible to
the trustees, while the executive
committee of each college will do
tho buying for that institution. The
entire board will assume to let all
important contracts, instead of al
lowing this to be done, as hereto
fore, in some instances, by the presi-
dent.
The trustees will, in future, en-
ploy a consulting architect. 1t has
been decided to engage Mr.. Link,
who designed the state capitol, for
this place and he will see that all
buildings come up to specifications.
It is believed a great deal of money
can be saved to the state institu-
lions in this way, and the trustees
are adopting every means that looks
like advancement or economy, with
out crippling any of the education
al institutions Of the state.
The governor has appointed dele
gates to the second National Con-
servation Congress to be held at st.
Paul, Mimi, Sept 6 to 9, and hope
to attend himself.

Making Educational Campaign

Milking EUuCaC1On6I campaign
State superintendent of Education
Powers is out on a round of campaign
visits with view of alulng in the ex-
tension of the educational work, and
school branch.
From the way things are going at
the present time towards the devel-
opment Of the agricultural high
schools in the state, there will be
fully fifteen in commission at the
opening of the next scholastic year,
all of which will be operated through
a nine-month period, and that is on
ly a starter. The course of study
for the four year period has been
drafted and is now in the hands of
the printer, and will be distributed
during the coming year.
On Aug 6, at the Patrons Union
camp ground, near Lake, there will
be a gathering of the people and tax
payers of Scott and Newton Coun-
ties to decide whether an intercounty
agricultural high school shall be es-
tablished. The chances are in favor
of the adoption of the proposition,
and Superintendent Powers will
urge cooperation, as under the law
as last written the two counties be-
tween them would be entitled to $3,-
600 from the state. In other words,
it would amount to a per cent in
vestment on $4,000 outlay, which
is attractive enough to interest the
people of any community or section.
