CHANCELLOR DENTON
MAKES DECISION,
Saws Pelucla-BiS Sand District Too
Expensive, So AbOlishes 1t.

Chancellor M. E. Denton was
occupied most of last week with tie
disposition of the Pelucia-Rig Sand
Drainage District matter. Several
DAYS were consumed in hearing the
petitions and the arguments, pro
and con, for the district.
Before leaving Greenwood last
Saturday night, Judge Denton
made his decision that the Pelucla-
Big Sand District was too big a
proposition, and would prove too
expensive, and virtually said that
he would abolish same. lie SAID
that upon his arrival at home he
would write out bis decree IN the
matter.
The Pelucia Big Sand District
matter has been pending for some
time, and has already incurred
large expense. The petitioners fol
the Drainage district stirred ut
considerable opposition when the
matter was set for hearing, and tht
majority of the members OF our bal
we're engaged in the e~ontrovers!
before Chancellor Denton.
Chancellor Denton was Of TIT
opinion that a smaller dlstr1c
could be made and hat am woult
be granted anG approved. Hi
opinion is expecred the latter par
of this week OF next week, and i
awaited with much eagerness b.
both sides, as he will give an elabo
rate expression of his views in tn
matter.
Very likely Judge Denton will
suggest a more practical district
for which he will set another hear
ing, in case a petition is mad
according to the suggestions.

At the Especial meeting Of the
LefIore County Board Of Sopervls-
ors last Monday, parties interested
IN the subject appeared before the
hoard when the matter Of the DIS
Of school funds was con-
sidered. They showed to the Board
that the Boulevard Subdivision
Company had leased them hall q

lege of buying same at the eNplra-
ton of the lease, at present prices,
provided a school building would
be erected within a year or SO. And
they further showed that various
citizens Of that portion OF the town
known as North Greenwood would
contribute $4,000 toward the cree
Ition Of a school building.
According to the law, the Board
allowed = similar sum as was to be
given by citizens of that town, anc

MOGULS
ARE TO MEET.
Annual Meeting of Cotton States
Called For October goth.

President Crowder has issued a
call for the annual meeting OF the
Cotton States League IN Jackson,
Saturday, Oct. goth, which will be
Drummers' Day at the State FAR.
In addition to Greenwood, Yazoo
City, Vicksburg, Hattiesburg, Me-
ridian and Jackson, it is believed
that Columbus, Natchez, Baton
Rouge, Monroe, and, possibly,
Shreveport, will be represented at
this meeting.
Aside from lining up the circuit
for 1911, a president is to be elected
and it looks like Mr.. Frank Scott,
of Vicksburg, will be the new exec
ntive, though every magnate IN the
circuit will try to persuade Mr..
Crovder to come back, although
he declared, long before the season
closed, that he would not be a can
didate for the place next year, bu'
1.-The demand may be SO inslstent thai
he will accept.
If Mayor Crowder declines te
accent, it may be, in the event Mr
Scott does not take the place, thai
some man out Of the circuit Will bf
chosen. Mr.. Scott would make al
ideal boss for this League, It ht
could be persuaded to take the Joo
but he hasn't enthused over it, ant
may decline to pay the role OF Moses
to the Cotton States.
It is not believed that the circul
will be increased, unless two 0,
more Louisiana cities are admitted
and it really looks as though it VII
be six clubs again. Columbus Il
too far away to be desirable, though
the Business League OF Coiumbui
, wants to secure a franchise. Batol
Rouge and Monroe would maxi
. desirable members, as would ohrev
port. but it may be that these appil
cations will be turned down, and
looks that way, and the circuit 70
main as it was during the past sea
son.
Natchez would like to come IN
but if the Bluff City is admitted
another city would either have t
be dropped or an eight selected
which would cause a disarrang elnen
of The circuit, to some extent.
