The three hundredth anniversary of
the rule of the Romanoffs is to be
celebrated by the car in 1913, and it
is expected that one feature of the
celebration will be amnesty to polite
al offenders-not only amnesty to the
extent of setting them free from i'm
prisonment, but to the extent of re-
storing their political rights. This
will be a good act on the part of the
czar, but three years is long time for
the political prisoners to wait for it
especially those who in the first place
were unjustly condemned.

JACKSON.
MANY HAVE HOOK WORM.
Some Districts Show IS Per Cent Arc
Infected.

tnIGCL6O.
In the districts of the state, as laid
out by DR.. feathers, in charge of the
sanitary work for the Mississippi
board of health, 50 per cent of the
people are infected with hook worm.
This is in the more remote parts oil
the state, but even in the cities and
towns, the infection ranges from 5 to
10 per cent of the population.
This would be appalling, under ordt-
nary conditions, but with the. hysl-
clans all over the state, the druggists
and people generally cooperating the
field agents of the board of health in
the work it is not as bad as it appears,
nor any worse than in other states
where the work has been taken up.
Every state in the Union is more or
less affected, but the infection is more
general where little or no attention is
paid to sanitation and hygiene.
While the infection is worse in sonic
parts than others, it is due entirely
to conditions. In the cities, where the

nothing like as bad as even in the
smaller towns, where they have no
sewerage system.
The infection, according to the re-
ports, is more serious in South Mis-
sissippi, but the people there realize
the situation fully and are giving the
field agents every cooperation in
their work.
DR.. feathers says the disease is so
prevalent it is attacking our econcm-
zeal conditions. The children are
dwarfed, physically and mentally, and
are unable to do good work in the
schools, while they are Indifferent to
their work at home.
One of the field agents made a re-
port on one school in South Missis-
siupi, where there are % pupils. OF
this number q were infected, nine
seriously, while the teachers also had
the disease.

Seek Better Rate on Cotton.

Jackson Mississippi Railroad
Commission at its meeting Tuesday
took up the question of better rate
on corn-native corn at that-of which
there is considerable quantity avail
able for marketing and transportation.
The fact that this subject was placed
before the commission and rate
asked for is of itself significant of
progress and development, and there
are those who believe, at the present
rate OF advance, that it will not be
many years before the importation of
corn into the state will be at an end.
