|DRAl|gA6E Fl6HT HAS
COME TO CONCLUSION
Ihe Mister WIN Be LETT to Vote OF
the People.

The TAllahAtchie Drainage fight
came to very sudden conclusion last
Friday Afternoon, shortly after the
Hcuse lad almost unanimously for the
psssage Of the bill to submit the matter
70 vote Of the qualified electors of the
district. There were but four votes
against the bill. and that fact was q
parAlyzer to the opposition, wherefore
they soon announced that they would
interpose no further objection to the
measure, and let the Senate 60 along
and paM it
During tho afternoon the committee
on Levies held an open session in the
6enste chamber, and there was . great
AttendAnce. Scores OF citizens from
the counties in tho northwestern por-
tioa Of the State that are included in
tho TAllahatchie Drainage District Gre
a4ed At tho last session of the Legisla-
tufe, wero present. They represented
- per cent. Of the wealth and the in
telligence Of their part of the State,
and several Of them have been in Jack
son for . month or more working up
sentiment in favor of their proposition
to leave the matter to q vote Of the peo-
pie.
Tho most active worker in the cause
has been Mr.. Tom James, of Swan Lake,
and he has been ably assisted by Mr..
Emory Holmes, . former well-known
newspaper man of Memphis. They had
their matter we'll in hand before the
friends Of the drainage proposition
hardly knew what was doing.
In interviews given out by Mr..
James during the past few weeks, he
has explained that the cost of the
drainage system has been found to be
. great deal more than was at first sup
posed-that instead of costing one mil
lion dollars, it means the expenditure
OF 1t least six millions, and perhaps ten
or fifteen before they are done with it.
Government and State engineers have
been 1T work in the district some time,
and it il stated that the cost of the sur
veys made is already nearly one hum
dred thousand dollars, and they have
hardly started.
Engineer Morgan, Of the United
States Agricultural Department, was
present ut the meeting last Thursday
and made . statement as to what has
been done and what is to be expected
- to the amount of dirt that would
have to be moved and the probable cost
al Of which tended to show that the
contention Of the Protective Associa-
tion, of which Mr.. James is president,
Il largely true.
The $500 900 bond issue is now be-
fore the Supreme Court, and decision
II expected in few days.

LOTS OF COIN IN
STATE TREASURY.
Nearly Two Million Dollars Now In
Depositories.

At the opening of business March 1,
State Treasurer Edwards had on hand,
either in the Repositories throughout
the State or in the treasury vaults, just
81, ,786, ,337.73, and it is regarded as
highly probable that the $2,OO0,000
mark will be passed within the next
few days. or before the balance begins
to recede, most of the increase being
due to the payments of tax money by
the various sheriffs during the next ten
days.
When the larger appropriation bills
are finally passed by the two houses
and receive the signature of the gov
ernor, however, there will be rapid
dwindling Of the treasury balance,
very large slice Of which will be taken
out by the distribution of the common
school fund, shortly to be made.
None Of the State and district Off
GERS have received any salaries for Ell
ther January or February, and even
some Of these are growing anxious.
This anxiety will not last long, how
ever, - the general appropriation bill,
which includes these salaries and
which has already been passed by the
lower house, was today favorably re-
ported by the senate finance committee
and will doubtless be taken up and
passed during the present week.
Tho treasury receipts for the month
Of February were $S6S, S,S58.70, coming
from the following sources: Privilege
taxes 3,261. 40, state tax for 1909 $843,-
197.94, land purchases $2,556.73, state
tax insolyencies $1.05, land office fees
$25. fees $1,73S.46, pensions returned
$671o, depository interest $314.12, land
redemption fund $1s98s, oyster fund
$1, ,S75.48, sale Of codes $34, back taxes
$3,866.69, insurance privileges $22l.77,
per cent. insurance tax $7,253 93, In
suranoe fees $z8S, Denitentiary fund
$s.786.97, executive contingent fund
$115.

HE USED HIS SHIRT
AS A DANGER FLAG.
Stranger Tries to Get Money by the
Gratitude Route

Greenwood, Miss, March IAN at
tempt was made last night by unknown
parties to wreck the 1882 passenger
train on the Yazoo & Mississippi VAL
ley between this place and Rising Sun.
A stranger, whose name your cores
pondent is unable to learn, discovered
crotstie fastened to the rails and re-
moved it, tagging the passenger train
with his shirt, which he removed for the
occasion.
The train crew brought this man into
Greenwood, but he had disappeared be-
fore his name could be secured.
The impression prevails here that it
was merely an attempt on the part of
somebody to get little cash by means
of the gratitude route
However, the railroad is Investigating
affair and is determined to get at the
truth.-Commercial Appeal.

COMMONWEALTH WILL
START PIANO CONTEST
lnteSeStIn1 vOtln4 Contest WIN Gin
the 2lSt OF March.

The Commonwealth has signed con-
tract with an up-to-date piano house
and is making preparations to give
away an elegant Banner Upright Grand
Piano, which costs $350.O0 at the fac
tory.
We will start out March 21st, just
after our Easter edition has appeared,
with the determination of SURPRISING
any previous efforts, which will make it
do something out of the ordinary.
This prize IL offered to any one, re-
gardless Of sex or age, and will be given
to the person living in Lefore county
receiving the greatest number of votes.
The judges of the contest will be
men who have no connection with this
paper. No employe Of this paper nor
anyone connected with it will be per-
mitted to participate in the contest,
soliciting votes or any other way. Ev-
cry effort will be made to treat the can
didates fairly in every sense of the
word.
A large shipment of autographed vot-
ing slips are on the way now, with a
large amount of Autographed advertis-
ing matter, which will be sent all over
the county.
The votes will be bases on subscrip-
tions, accounts due, job printing and
advertisements. 500 votes will be CIV
en- with every new paid subscription
and 500 will be given with every old
subscription paid to date. Old ac-
counts will draw 800 votes. Every is
sue of The Commonwealth until the
close of the contest, will contain cou-
pom good for five votes. Other ar
rangements will be made that will en-
hance interest in the contest, and will

and the opinion that has prevailed for
