Gives No Money for Road Building

experiments in the use of materials
are conducted by the specialists of
this bureau. Here the government
stops, for the reason that dominant
view in congress has been that this
properly delimits the governments
function.
Representative Anthony of Kansas
introduced a bill in the house last win
ter for the construction of a military
highway between Fort Leavenworth
and Fort Riley, 100 miles, by convicts
in the two federal penitentiaries at
Fort L~eavenworth. The bill was lost
after a debate that developed into a
general discussion of the good roads
movement.
The measure had the Endorsement Of
President Taft, the chief of staff of
the army and the Quartermaster gen.
eral. General ]. Franklin Bell. then
chief of staff, stated in a letter to Rep
resentative Anthony that the proposed
road would unquestionably be OF
great military value and convenience"
Farmers of many townships through
which the proposed road would run
offered to supply all the rock and
other material to be used in its con-
struction.
Like others Of its kind, this meas
ure was wrecked upon constitutional
rocks. The opponents of the bill con-
tended hat General Bell did not claim
the road to be a military necessity,
and that, If not done for this purpose,
the government could not build II, be-
cause the constitution authorizes the
construction of only such roads as are
required to meet military necessities
and post roads.

DRAG BODY THROUGH WOODS.
Horribly Multilated Corpse Is Found
by Houston Citizens.

4iouston.-A horrible tragedy was
revealed in the eastern part of this
county, near Buena Vista, when the
body f Ike Dahmer, a negro man, was
found In the thicket of Sucatonchee
creek bottom. Ike Dahmer left home
last Tuesday morning with a wagon
and team and V returned.
The wagon and team were found in
the road, but the driver was missing.
Nothing more was heard Of him till
his body was discovered in a thicket.
There were several bullet holes in his
body. The parties that committed the
crime cut the skin on the top OF the
head and had taken all of the skin off
of the forehead and face, leaving the
body more difficult to identify.
Many parts of the body were cut,
~lacerated and torn away. The head of
the victim had been burned.
The knife Of the negro was found
in his overalls, and this was the first
clew to establishing his identity.
Bruises and scratches on the body,
the sign that led up to the place where
the body was found, showed that the
body had been dragged more than a
mile through the woods.

The Mississippi Railroad Commits.

fered by the railroads of the state in
the Guifport cotton rate case and the
suit pending in the state and federal
courts to prevent the commission en-.
forcing the order, issued last Septem-
Der and October, will be withdrawn.
This compromise places Gulfport on
a parity with New Orleans and Mo-
bile as regards cotton rates, and the
rate extends into Memphis, thus CIV
ing the cotton producers of Missis-
sippi nor than was asked for in this
case.
This is considered one Of the most
impo<tant matters handled by the
commission for several years, as it
means the development of a great
port for Mississippi and one that is
capable of competing with other gulf
ports. The railroads showed a desire
to help Mississippi in this matter, as
they have in others. Though an in
junction was secured against the COM
mission soon after the orders were
issued, and are still pending, the rail-
roads had no desire to fight the COM
mission, but simply wanted to study
the situation and understand condi-
tons.

W ing hat the census will show the

DELTA.H HAS BEST LANDS.
Prot. J. w. Fox Gives Sound Advice to
Planters.

Prof. ]. w. Fox, now of the Aricul-
tural and Mechanical College, but up
to this year manager of the Stoneville
experiment station, delivered a most
sensible. instructive and interesting
speech at I%ndianola to a large sized
audience.
The speaker said that the Delta had
the best farming lands in the United
States, and this he had learned from
actual observations by visiting. The
best example he could cite was that
he raised last year ninety-four bales
Of cotton on eighty-five acres, and had
tifty-two days continuous dry wealth
err. But, he said, these people did the
poorest farming OF any set of people
on earth. Prof. Fox said his main OBJ
ject was to induce Investigation OF
crops, and he made it plain that these
lands will perish without the planting
Of corn and peas which, he asserted,
had no equal as a fertilizer.
That these lands had every element
therein necessary to grow any crop
save that one, nitrogen. which corn
and peas in one crop would afford suf
ficient to make poor lands produce one
bale of cotton per acre following, and
he Insisted at all times the sowing Of
one and a half bushels per acre o.
the peas. He said that it required
twice as much nitrogen to grow fifty
bushels of corn per acre as it did tt
grow one We of cotton per acre.
He insisted that native corn shoult
always be planted for the best yiel,
and for housing purposes, but tina
Northern corn could be grown earlier
and to some advantage, provided it il
used for immediate feed, and not KEEP
for a future use. What was s,''

ing and it is believed will bear fruit
