Settlement of Case Against Lumber
CorrD9r in PrOSrcCt.

Settlement of Case Against Lumber
Company in Prospect.
While no official statement has been
issued Oh the subject indications seem
good for a compromise Of the litiga-
ton between the state of Mississippi
and the Edward kinds Lumber COM
pany, that will be satisfactory to all
concerned.
The corporation is charged with a
technical violation Of the corporation
holding clause of the Mississippi
statutes, which prohibits the holding
worth of lands.
1t is unGe stood that compromise
terms have been proposed b. the COM
rany that are vie5 ed with much favor
by the state authorities, who say thai
they have no disr O5.tion to be unjust
with the lumber co npany, or to take
any action that will retard the growth
and development Of the state.
TIE Edward Hines Lumber Com
pary has lie surveys for a new rail
rood 10 be built from PoplarYille to

1t is r2tAe-' curious that northern
farmer, C-e vEo has lived here but
lew years, snould be the first to mar
ket bale of this years cotton, raised
in Hi DIS county, at Jackson, but that
is what NJ w. Curry did a lay or two
since. The bale weighed 55S pounds
and sold for 15c. Mr.. Curry came to
Jackson 10 Or II years ago and pur-
chased an old WORKOUT farm miles
west of town. Oh this he went to
work with determination to make it
sustaining, and he has managed to do
better than that. One of the first
things he did was to set out a few
thousand peach trees, and from these
he has since sold thousands of bush
els at good prices. He has raised cot
ton and corn successfully, rotating
his crops with peas so that his land
has improved year by year instead OF
deteriorating. He has planted largely
of oats, and this year threshed more
than 5000 bushels, for which he found
ready sale on the local market.

GOVERNOR SHUTS OUT BILBo.
Declares He Whites the State Gov
eminent.

That Gov. Noel does not believe Mr..
Bilbo to be entitled to the use of
any state property in or upon which
to take his stand for the delivery of
his speeches, is indicated in the fol-
lowing statement, which he left with
Private Secretary Buck, to be given
to the press:
CAS- Bilbo villifies each of the three
departments of government, the iegis-
lature, the governor and the supreme
court, including the supreme judge
whose appointment he iDdorsed the
day before it was made, it is not
right that the property If the state
should be used as a place for the
villifcation of those entrusted by the
people of the state with its highest
offices. Especially is this true as to
Bilbo, who escaped impeachment by
but one vote, and was denounced by
that department of the government
of which he is a member, and with
but one dissenting vote, as an IN
fit associate for decent people and
as an unworthy occupant of the office
he holds. OF course. this does not pre-
vent Bilbo's speaking in Jackson or
elsewhere on property not in the GUS
tody of those whom he villifies."

Three Counties Show Decrease.

Three out of four South Mississippi
sonal assessment rolls with State
Auditor Smith, snow slight decrease,
as compared with last year. Marion
is the exception, and this county
shows a slight gain.
The counties that show a decrease
are Lincoln, Lawrence and Greene.
In Lincoln, the reduction is due to
the removal Of the Fernwo0d LuTbe"
CoTpany's plant, though the differ
ence is but slight. The assessment
It's year is S2,201,SS3, against ST.
9,S14 in 1909.
Lawrence county shows 1880. as
against s746,O24 last year.
Greene county, for this year, is
$4O2,O0S against $641 PA last year.
But the decrease in Greene county is
due to the fact that part of that
county was cut off 10 create the coun-
ty of George. Jackson county, part
Of which was taken for the new coun-
ty, has not been received, and this
county may also show slight de-
crease.
Marion county shows gain which
amounts to almost as much as the
three other counties lost. The per-
sonal assessment this year is 1884,
400, as compared with STALE.
Lincoln county shows a decrease OF
$6S,941 Lawrence, $S,074; Greene
$293,206.
Marion's increase is $120,205, while
the loss of the other three counties
is s316,221, leaving total loss OF
S1s5, 1851, most of which will be re-
gained when George county's assess
ment is received.

without works, foundation without a

Let us be practical. Do not be like
the man who built his house upon the
sand. Join the ranks of the real dis
ciples. Be learners. Handle the tools
of your religion. Practise the con-
struction of character. Begin by put

each day. Try to conquer some one
fault Go to some Christian leader
and ask him to allow you to help in
his work. He VIII give you an oppor-

Royal Comes Back.

Hon. T. M. Henry, insurance COM
missioner, has admitted to MISSISSIPPI
pi the Royal Exchange Assurance
Company of London, one Of the strong
insurance corporations which saw fit,
some years back, to withdraw from
the stse at a time when several 9th
ers of the same class stepped down

movement of the big companies for
readmission to Mississippi as an in
dication Of returning confidence, and
the fact that hey see better times
ahead and are not afraid to risk the
venture again.

Would Aid WooIgrowers

The Farmers Union has extended a
very cordial invitation to the wool
growers of the state to use their great
warehouses for the storage of wool,
provided they wish to hold it for bet
ter prices, and guaranteeing to them
the same treatment and fair dealing
that has characterized the manage

raisers. Wool has been selling at
ridiculously low prices, it is said, be-

Text: every one that hearth these
sayings of mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto foolish man,
which built his house upon the sand"
st. Matthew, vii &c.
The Christian religion is not mere
ly philosophy. 1t is a divinely re-
vealed rule of life The Church is not
a university. 1t is a technical school,
teach men how to take the raw ma
terial of life and build it into charac-
ter.
In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ
lays down the great fundamental prin-
ciples which should guide His follow
ers. He closes by telling His hear
ers that those who not only bear His
words but do them are like wise
man who built his house upon a rock.
When "the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house" it stood. But
those who hear without attempting to
practice are like foolish man who
built his house upon the sand. When
the time of testing came his house
fell. There are many such to-day
men and women whose religion is
that of hearing only.
There is a story told of a certain
new farm hand who was instructed
by his employer to feed his favorite
horse some corn ION the ear" He
was discovered some hours later en-
deavoring to pour the grain into the
ears of the unfortunate animal. We
cannot get any vital religion through
the ears only. The truths of Chris
tianity must be digested and made a
part of our very life before they can
nourish us. The only way to accom-
plish this is to practice them. Many
Christians fail when termination comes
