Therefore. the courts ruling practical

AS far as the territory lying be-
tween Salter's creek and the present
limits OF the city is concerned, Judge
Scott expressed the belief that the
strip properly belongs to the city and
should be within the limits. but he
held that inasmuch as he did not
deem II necessary TO annex the sec
ton east Of the creek. he was without
jurisdiction as to the strip west oi
the creek. the whole of the latter sec
ton having been involved in the case

body in the city believes that thi:

ARE DISCOURAGED
Attempts to Cause Movements In
Either Direction Are Abandoned
and Weakness Prevails-Hockins
Valley Reeeivership a Factor.
(By Associated Press.1

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE stock
market sank into lethargy today. Inc
failure OF the re-opening OF the Tor
eign stock markets to revive any ac-
tiyity in the dealings was dis
couragement 10 the trading element
and caused il TO give up attempts TO
move the market in either direction
in points of material Importance.
News developments were not
scarce. but stocks were unusually I'M
responsive to such as there was.
Some influence was allowed TO the
Hooking Valley receivership as FAC
tor in the stagnation. The re-
sumption of business in Lon
don found that market under
the repressive influence of the mourn
ing perod for the dead king and with
the prospect of another adjournment
on Friday for the funeral ceremonies.
A further advance in the foreign eN-
change rates today, when the reported
bond sales in Paris. /. completed, ought
to cause downward tendency, gave
rise TO vague uneasines over a post
ponement in these negotiations.
The continued sluggishness OF the
bond market and the conservative
views regarding the money market,
he'd by bankers, emphasiz the
importance of an extensive sale OF
bands to foreigners. Rates on mer-
camille paper are rising again with
TO demand on the part of bankers FOR
the small supply in the market.
The potests aaginst the proposed
increases in railroad foreign rates,
which are being voiced from diner-
emf quarters. are not without effect
on views of values of railroad stocks,
l! the increased revenues promised by
these advances having played large
part in the more hopeful speculative
sentiment lately held.
The report of deficient temperature
contained in the weather bureau
weekly bulletin was supplemented DIV
forecasts of further frosts tonight in
regions where both the cotton ana
grain crops would be affected.
The strength of the wheat market
i'm face of considerable speculative
liquidation was remarked.

We Need a Market.

4 well known planter says thai
Port Gibson is badly in need of a
hay and grain buyer. That there
are hundreds of tons of hay and
thousands of barrels of corn that
the farmers would like to sell early
in the season in order to get suff-
cient cash to harvest the remainder
of their crops. When there was
plenty of cotton they could get ad-
vances upon their seed for this pur-
pose. He says that such a buyer
could buy bay, corn, peas and 9th.

One Of the best corn crops that
I saw last year was made on a
crimson clover sod turned down and
no manure at all applied. But the
land had had manure and a good
rotation for many years aud had
been making good crops of corn
and wheat through the gradual
building up Of the humus In the
soil, and the field of 80 acres made
nearly 5000 bushels of shelIed corns
while land right alongside that has
been worked In a less systematic
way did not make over 90 bushels
per acre and had fertilizer applied.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
ABLE sTocKrlEN TAKE, FINE
TALKS AT PORT GIBSON.

The Farmers Institute was held
last Thusrday. There were over
hundred farmers present from the
different districts of the county.
w. L. Hutchinson, the institute
conductor, opened the meeting by
emphasizing the fact that the boil
weevil in Mississippi presented a
condition and not theory that was
being bravely met by our people
He presented DR.. Plumb, of the
Ohio State College, who spoke on
general livestock husbandry. DR..
Plumb stated that the type of ami
NAL husbandry was governed by
the condition of soil, climate and
people; that there was co-opera-
tion between live stock and manu-
featuring as with mutton and wool,
beef and hides and milk and butter.
Furthermore, declared the lecturer,
the purer the race the more were
their ideals controlled by long as
ISOLATION. For that reason, he said,
we see the English still control the
worlds stock farm. You may go
10 Herefordshire, for instance, and
see nothing but Hereford cattle.
The American people on the con-
trary, have a persistent habit of
cross. breeding because the Ameri-
can is blending of different races.
Hence we are breeding backward
instead of forward.
DR.. Plumb urged his hearers
whatever they do, to stick to one
breed and then make reputation
and bring gold into their commun-
ity.
H. A. Clark. of Wartrace. Tenn,
touched live subject on mules
and breeding. He urged the breed
ing of export mules, as this direct
ed mule values in all markets. He
said large jacks were esential for
the getting of draft mules. He
said fine mules can be bred in Clai-
borne county. as well as elsewhere.
In the afternoon D. H. Sanders
of Starkville, gave practical talk
on general cattle raising and pas
lures. He urged that no radical
changes be made. that native cows
should be used and herds headed
with pure sires. He urged the use
of native grasses, supplemented
With burr and white clover.
Several stock raisers in this nei-
ghborhood had specimens of their
raising on exhibition and created
much favorable comment.

If friends of education desire to
be benevolent, they will find that
the policy of the administration OF
the Port Gibson Female College
is to cooperate to the extent of not
charging any tuition fee and charg-
ing only board, medical and Ly-
ceum fees. This enables a person
to buy scholarship for some
worthy young lady at $r37.oo for
the whole session, this to include
everything except clothes and
books for pupil taking a literary
course. The one who pays the
scholarship can name the benefi-
ciary or we can choose one out of
many who apply to us, stating that
they are able to pay a part of their
way, but not all. There could be
nobler use of moneythan to help.no
these struggling young women. In
some cases we have had friends to
furnish US with SIS or 500 to be
divided so as to give each of two
or three young ladies assistance to
the amount of $25 and $50 each.

A Protest.

Editor Reveille:
One day last week we drove
Port Gibson by a longer route tha
usual, in order to avoid the glarin
heat, and intolerable clouds {
dust, for which some Of our high
ways are famous during a pro
tracted drouth.
We went the "TngIeside road,
because of its cool, deep banks
and the protecting shadows of tree
that have in many places interlacet
their leafy branches overhead, af
fording grateful relief, for shor
distance, from the unrelenting Au
gust sun.
The road.bed was in fairly good
condition, and for some unex,
planned reason a wandering cloud
had followed its windings nearly
all the way, so there was no dust.
The one important thing lacking
ION this pleasant road is a good
stream Of water, where teams may
quench their thirst, but with the
conditions Of summer travel so
ameliorated, the water is not so
greatly needed as on most high
ways.
But there was a contrasting ex-
perience awaiting us in the after
noon. We returned home over
the Port Gibson road. For years
there have been long, weary
stretches on this much-traveled
road that never feel the GOODNESS
of any shade save what the floating
clouds may bring.
But the writer Of this had hoped
that no more of the roadside trees
and graceful vines would be cut
down or "deadened. What was

the historic "Rapiljah Hill to
find many workmen ruthlessly cut
ting down all the growth, both
great and small, with here and

their largest carbohydrate content
is starch and any process on a
commercial scale for extracting the
sugar would extract some starch
and substances similar in compo-
sition. These substances are a
great hindrance in the manufacture
of sugar., as they are not very
readily removed and, hence, cause
trouble in the capitalization of the

sufficiently promising, additional
experiments upon extraction would
be interesting and might lead to
valuable results. OF course it is
