The position of Governor William
E. Glasscock on the question Of the
Jeffries Johnson prize fight moving
pictures is that the local authorities
of cities and towns have the author
lily to suppress the pictures II they SO
desire, this authority being vested in
them by reason of their power to keep
the peace. Especially is this author
Iity vested in sheriffs. The Governor
says, however, that should there be
any disturbance following an attempt
of officials to keep the peace by sup
pressing the pictures of the prize
fight, and the local authorities find
themselves unable to cope with the
situation, he will send troops, IL nee
fessary, to prevent the pictures. So
far. there has been no trouble upon
the pictures being shown in this State.
Indeed, the pictures do not appear to
interest the colored man 10 any great
extent, and we have heard no demand
for them from the colored people.
Governor Glasscock evidently be.
lieVes that the pictures should not be
shown in this State, but he is exercis-

WORTH SEEING.

No matter whether read in books
seen acted on the stage or viewed in
moving pictures, uncle Toms Cabin
never grows old or fails to incite hu.
man sympathy. 1t is a human inter
est story and no how often or in what
manner retold 1t arouses feelings Of
resentment against the treatment &C.
corded to human beings in slavery
days. And the life of the story is the
.truthfulness of the scenes depicted.
The characters are real and true to
life. The moving picture exhibit now
being given by the Dixie Theater re.
tells the story in vivid manner.
Last evenings picture dealt with I'm.
Gle Tom, his good owner Shelby, the
cruel slave dealer Haley and Eliza,
showing her flight across the Ohio
river on the ice with the blood hounds
chasing her and her little child. Two
more scenes are to be given, one this
afternoon and tonight, the other to.
morrow. They are well worth seeing.

From dispatches sent out from
Charleston yesterday, It seems that
the first report relative to the State
levy being fixed at five cents on the
hundred dollars was in error. The
levy was fixed at four and one!halt
cents, the lowest in the history of the
State. Under the good old days." the
State levy laid by the Board of Pub.

Corn Attracts crawfish.

Prof. w. H. Hays, assistant secre.
tary of agriculture, has decided to
send special agent of the Bureau OF
Plant Industry to Mississippi, with in.
structions to do everything possible
to save the corn fields there that are
being attacked by aawfish.,
The department officials have been
amazed during the past few days by
receiving dozens OF letters from farm.
ers along the banks OF the Mississippi
who say that their corn fields are be.
ing devoured by swarms of ravenous
crawflsh. The animals burrow through
the ground and attack not only the
roots of the corn, but actually climb
the stalks and eat the leaves and ears.
The section from which the com.
plants come is low and the soil is nat.
urally moist. The water Is near the
surface, and it is supposed that the
crawflsh are attracted to the corn
fields because OF the scarcity of food.
At any rate, the complaints have come
to the department in such manner
that Prof. Hays said today he would
send one of his specialists from the
Bureau of Plant Industry to investi-
gate and see what could be done to
save the corn fields.
One correspondent asserts that he
has gathered more than 100 barrels of
crawfish. The pests have appeared in
such numbers that most of the farm.
crs seem powerless to combat them.
Mr.. Hays says that in all probability
the crawfsh are more valuable than
the corn crop. He thinks that If gath.
cred they could be sole. for good
price to the restaurant keepers Of
New Orleans and other places where
crawiish are regarded asa delicacy.-,

who has been In the habit of
eating flesh meat two or three
times a day to suddenly discon-
tinue the use Of meat for 80
days or longer; and yet thou
sands of people are doing that
to-day. Many Of these will
learn, not only that meat lis IN.
necessary, but that they are
better without It and will never
resume the daily use Of It. Ills
better, however, In making a
change In diet to do It grad.

must result from. any sudden
change In the food supply. The
best plan is to change one meal
only for a weak, then the sec.

Cowboy Notsthr Only Expert In the
Casting Of Topped Rope.

The cowboy is not the only man OF
earth that can rope things. The tug
boatman also is pretty hand with !
lasso.
When a tugboat comes alongside q
wharf there is very likely to be some
body there willing to take a line and
drop 1t over spile but II there
shouldn't happen to be there may be
on the boat deckhand who can drol
the loop of hawser over that Spite
without leaving the boat, who car
lasso the spite. In fact, there are
plenty OF deokhands who can do that
throw the hawser up oyer the rail OF
the boat and over the stringpiAce OF
the wharf, to have the loop drop with
certainty down around the hitching
post.
Twelve or 10 feet is about as far as
such a lasso can be thrown, on &C.
count OF the hawser's weight; that
length Of 1t is about rs much as any
ieckland can handle; but even at
that distance lassoing the post is a
nice thing TO do, as any novice would
discover who tried 1t. The deckhano
can do a good deal better still with a
heavier line.
Let the boat be coming alongside a
wharf or alongside another boat or
lighter moored to the wharf end, and
If the occasion requires It a deckhand
on the approaching boat will make a
bovine in the end OF a heavlng line
and throw that distance of 25 feet,
the lasso loop on the end of the line
to settle with precision around the
Spite of timber head aimed at; the
expert gets 1t every time. Then If
this Is heavy heaving line and the
tugboat isn't too big they may, by ju.
dicious handling, haul the boat along
side by this heaving line If they are
going to stay there only little while
without putting out a hawser at ALL

EXPENSIVE LUxuRIEs.

Some Of the most expensive luxur-

country are about 100 custom sta

BILE, and they garner nearly one-third
9of the money spent by billion dollar

being nothing at all, that collector Ar

4 fam grant him freedom but could find
nobody to take the place. The de.
\ partment relented short time ago,
gave Randall freedom, closed the Of:
nee and transferred the business, IL
there should be any, to New York.
n There are other ports where no DIFF
ffculty is found in securing collectors
even. II there is little or no business.
Some of these where the receipts ag-
J, gregated nothing last year, with the
i expense of maintaining them, are as
follows: Tappahannock, Va, 1894;
Yaquina. Ore, $1,OS4; Beaufort, N. c.,
$3.50; Bridgeton, N. j., with seven
employees, s2,123; Cairo, ILL.,, $434;
4 Galena, ILL.,, $4O5; Little Egg Harbor,
/ j, $685.; Nantucket, Mass, 1862;
SPaducah, Kys $549 and Patchogue, N.
Y, $66s: Tab is kept by the govern
Sment on every custom house to find
the cost of collecting the revenue. An.
napolis had customs receipts of S3.O9
4 last year and the cost to the govern
ment OF collecting each dollar was
,$S0941. There was considerable yes.
sci business at Alexandria, Va, but
Z the total customs receipts amounted
to only $40 and on that basis the cost .
of collection on each dollar was
\ $122.49. The amount paid for each
dollar collected at some other points
were: Natchez, Miss. $52.76; St.
Marys, Ga, s45.4O; saco, Me-, $41.46;
Great Egg Harbor, N. j.. $25.14; Rock
Island, Ill, $23.6S; Teche, La, s25.45
sand Portsmouth, N. H., s1G.12. In the
large ports the expense to the govern.
ment in collection on the value of
dollar ranges from a little over two
cents to five cents. In New York last
year the cost per dollar was 90 cents
i and the aggregate receipts were S2O2,.
s G55,S09. The average cost Of collec.
4 tion in the country was 3.4 cents. Gus.
toms houses are created by Congress
and can be abolished only by the
same authority. In the interest of
economy secretaries of the Treasury
have recommended that collectors be
abolished at ports where there seems
TO be not enough business to justify
the expense. Members In Congress,
however, have steadfastly refused to
rob towns in their States of the pres.
tige Of having customs houses and,
besides, they afford something in the
way of patronage.
