Cotton Seed Prices Steady.

Jackson.-Although mill managers
claim that the bulk of the seed crop
has been marketed, the cotton seed
market Of Mississippi is lowering
around the $25 per ton fob. at sta
tions with no indications of an ad-
vance. Competition between mills has
been lively since the opening of the
products, say the millmen, has not JUS
titled more than $25 per ton, and a
that figure a relatively small profit
margin is allowed. 1t is probable that
the length of the season will be about
the same as last year, majority OF
the mills closing about the middle Of
March.

COMPLAIN of Car Shortage.

Jackson.-There has been number
of complaints to the railroad commits
sion of the shortage of cars lately.
The commission attributes the short.
age to the fact that there has 10 been
very much grain shipped down to this
part of the country this season and
consequently there are no cars in
which to send back. This years cot,
ton has been moved earl5er than
usual, owing to the high prices. The
crop this year has been practically
moved in six weeks and generally it
takes three months.

Vicksburg.-Steps taken by Presi-

Humane Society, put an end to the
wholesale rafting of turkeys and
ducks, which has been going on in
Vicksburg for several days. Capt.
Moore consulted with Judge Waggener
and as result the so-called Turkey

MIR. BANNING A
SANTA CLAUS, TOO
Win Pay City Employees De-
CeInber Salary if Auditor
BaIkS

President Of Council James L. Ban
ming by making a proposition just be-
fore City Council adjourned last night
to advance December salaries to city
employees on the Council payrolls, I'm
the event Of City Auditor John ID.
Kurtz refusing to approve the pay
rolls, brought Joy to the many men
who thought they would have to do
without their Christmas money this
year.
Mr.. Banning made the offer in good
faith, his only object being to give
the city employees a happy Christmas
and at the same time uphold the
ordinances in the event the auditor
finds that he is prevented from ap-
proving the payrolls by a simple reso-
luton passed by Council.
The members of Council had just
passed the usual resolution calling
upon the auditor to approve the pay
rolls and despite Mr.. Banning's offer
decided to stand pat on it and put the
matter up to the auditor.
Mr.. Kurtz said to-day that until he
received a copy Of the resolution and
had given the matter his attention he
would not say what he would do He
said, however, that he would consider
the request and give an answer at an
early date.
In case Mr.. Kurtz decides not to
approve the payrolls President of
Council Banning will give his per-
sonal check to any city employee on
the Council payrolls and wait until
the first OF the month for the mems
checks.
In discussing the matter last night
Mr.. Kane said that the city had paid
the December salaries prior to Christ
mas since 1887, and he considered
the objections Of the city auditor
based on small grounds.
A discussion followed the offer made
by Mr. Banning, Mr.. Taylor being OF
the belief that Mr.. Banning's inten-
tion was to advance the money to the
city and turn 1t into the city treas
urer's office for disbursement. This
however. is not the case. Mr.. Ban
ming said to-day that he would give
each man his personal check and each
In turn would be expected to hand
over to him the check which he re-
ceives from the city treasurer on
January~1.
Mr.. Kurtz has stated that a resolu-
tion passed by Council did not repeal
an ordinance, there being an ordin-
ance to the effect that salaries must
be paid on the first of the month.
