inator of the corn club movement in
the state.
Governor Noel called special atten-
tion to the three constitutional amend
ments to be voted on in November.
One of these is to make the judiciary
elective as it was before the civil
war. One is to remove the restric-
tions on special meetings of the legis-
lature, which as the constitution
stands, permits the enactment Of laws
on appropriations, revenue, and such
rs the Governor may suggest by mes
sage. The other amendment proposed
is to permit any succeeding legisla-
ture after an amendment is offered,
to incorporate it in the constitution.
He dwelt with vigor on what the
present administration has done for
public schools, colleges and charitable
Institutions, such as blind, insane, and
deaf mute asylums. He advocated
the need of as great intelligence to
succeed as farmer as to succeed in
any learned profession. He laid much
emphasis on the necessity of conser-
walton of all available resources to
increase the fertility of the soil, and
the general betterment of farm life.
He challenged comparison between
his administration and the administra
tion Of any, and especially the last
predecessor.
He showed that by the abolishing
of municipal treasurers, and making
county treasurers only a nominal Of
flee that the last legislature abolished
three hundred more offices than it
created by the act giving each county
an attorney to assist the district at
torney. In this change of offices he
showed that there is a saving of about
three hundred thousand dollars a year
to the state and it's subdivisions.
He avowed his readiness to explain
to any and all inquirers his expendi--
ture of the contingent fund. He went
so far as to invite inquiry into any
of his official acts, and expressed a
confidence that his administration has
been more economical than that of
his immediate predecessor, and
showed by reports from the state au-
ditor that far more money was now
going to schools than under his pre-
decessor.
His address was we'll received, and
his encouraging words as to the fu-
ture of the state in farming.

FOOTBALL SEASON
opens TOMORROW

The. opening of the football season
takes place in Mississippi tomorrow,
and devotees of the great autumn
sport are looking forward with eager
interest to the outcome of two of the
contests slated to take place.
The University of Mississippi will
meet the Memphis High School at
Oxford, and the Mississippi College
team goes to Starkville for clash
with the A. & M. College.
While it is generally believed that
"Ole Miss" and the A. & M will be
victorious in their respective events,
interest is none the less keen for they
will show the character of material
that has been recruited by the two
state institutions and the degree of
familiarity the players have acquired
with the new rules.
Coach Stauffer, of "Ole Miss" and
Coach Chadwick, of the A. & NJ, both
claim that they have better material
than last year, and that their respect
i've organizations are certain to be
much stronger than formerly.
The A. & ~, pernaps, has more new
material for development than the
University, although Coach Chadwick
has several of the old players in whom
he is placing much reliance.
While the clach between the A. & M.
and Mississippi College tomorrow will
probably be rather one-sided, it will

BROKERS RA|DED
Sensational Arrests Made Yesterday
BY Force of United States
Officers.

New York, Sept. 3O.-Following one
of the most sensational raids ever en-
gineered by Federal authorities in
this city, directed yesterday against
the firm of B. H. Scheftels & Co., curb
brokers in Broad street, seven men,
bers Of the company, including B. H.
Scheftels, its president, were held in
heavy bail last night for hearing Oct.

defraud. Search is being made by
the police and government inspectors
for George Graham Rice, whose real
name is said to be Simon Hersig, the
originator of the race track bet tip
ping system, who is declared to be
the real head of the concern.
At the time of the raid here an
nouncemeht was made from Washing
ton that warrants had been issued for
the managers of the company's
branch offices in Boston, Providence,
Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago and Mil
waukee.
According to agents of the Depart
ment of Justice, the Scheftels Com
pany has been engaged in promoting
the sale of mining securities of doubt

Estimates of the firms dealings are
placed as high as s5,000,O0O. The sew
en- men arraigned here are B. H.

of the company; George T. Sullivan,

been issued, but the Others, including
Rice and Charles s. Hersig, who is
said to be his brother, eluded the raid.

Rice had been in his offices earlier
in the day, but left before the officers
swooped down upon the place.
A surety company gave bail in the
sum of $4,000 for Scheftels, $500
for Seagraves, $4,000 for Stone and
$4,000 for Delaney. Belser, McCor-

: BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

The Columbia, S. c., States notes
that "The prevailing and growing
prosperity of the South is so great
that it cannot escape the most casual
eye. 1t 10 visible everywhere. 1t
deepens the busy hum and stir of our
cities and towns; and it adds to the
pleasing variety of all rural scenes by
flushing hills and valleys with the
richer green of cultivated fields and
orchards and by stimulating all the
activities of country life"
Notwithstanding this pleasing con-
dition, the State says we are not alive
to our opportunities and natural bless
ings in this section, and adds:
Almost any one, for instance, who
has journeyed much in the South dur
ing the last six months must have
been Impressed by our devotion to the
game OF politics. tt is game we for
merly played with unrivaled skill and
stiIl play fairly well; but we now play
Il trifie too much. The game has
shrunk, too, to quite small proportions,
and the board or arena we play on has
become a bit soiled. And eevn the
great clamor We raised over the sport
fails to give to the game an air Of
dignity or Importance. Yet for weeks
and months at a time it seems that
politics constitutes our chief business
in life, and nearly all of it's stir and
glamor. Politics is, however, far
from being our chief concern, and it
is essential to us to understand thai
it is not. An earnest and patriotic
consideration of politics is necessary
to any progressive people; we need to
be wisely governed; but the chief
business of life is to make life, in its
eevryday aspect, clean and progress
sive and successful. And that is pre-
cisely what an ever-increasing proper
tion Of the Southern people is doing.

COTTON CASE GOES
TO Federal Court
Many Station Agents Have Been Sum-
moned to Appear Before Federal
Grand Jury at Aberdeen.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 30.-The Unit
ed States marshal's office in this city
has completed the task of serving
subpoenas on local freight agents of
railway lines at the principal cotton
shipping points in this section to ap-
pear before the federal grand jury at
Aberdeen during the week beginning
next Monday.
1t is the purpose of the federal au-

| ing. 1t is the act of preserving,
guarding or protecting and implies
preservation from loss, decay, injury
or violation. The conservation of our
natural resources, therefore means
not merely the preventing of their
being made use of but their preserva-
tion from harm in order that they
may be made use of in a sane and
profitable manner. The United States
is trying to profit from the expert
ences of other nations, particularly
in the matter of forest preservation.
Our forests will not last forever, and
1t is better to begin now to guard
them from fires and from the ravages
of unscrupulous lumbermen who care
nothing for the younger growth and
seek only to reap the profits of the
day, than 1t is to wait until We awake
to find our forests gone.
The advocates of conservation are
the guardians of the public welfare
They seek to not only preserve but
to increase for the good Of the people
what ruthless private greed would ut
terly destroy for its own selfish profit.
Nothing less powerful than the gov
ernment can do this. We doubt If the
individual states even are powerful
enough to accomplish a great deal in
the way of conservation. The rapac-
iousness of big corporations is some
thing almost unbelievable, and moth
ing but the strong arm of the national
government can prevent their laying
waste every portion of the country
they may seize upon for their own
aggrandizement.-B Herald.

Apropos of criminal charges against

Civil suits against we'll known lumber

JUDSON HARMON.

Gov. Judson Harmon in opening his
campaign for reelection in Ohio made
the kind of speech characteristic OF
the man and of the old-time Democ.
racy which he represents. He talked
tariff reform after the manner of Grow
er Cleveland in whose Cabinet he
served and he showed a due regard
for the Jeffersonian doctrine of equal
rights for all and special privileges
for none without any radical interpre-
tation of its meaning.
| Harmon Is strong man and an
entirely safe man. He is a good law
yer and experienced politician, and he
has large fund of common sense,
withal that is at last the saving grace,
whatever mans other endowments.
1t was great achievement when he
was elected Governor of Ohio in a
presidential year, when, too, an Ohio
man was the opposing presidential
candidate. He has made an excellent
Governor, meeting firmly some trying
situations that required the executive
attention.
The Republicans in Ohio are now
far from being united and if Gov. Har-
mon succeeded in 1908 it would seem
that to win in the pending campaign
should be comparatively easy task.
If Gov. Harmon is a second time
elected Governor of Ohio his availa-
bility for the Democratic presidential
nomination in 1912 will be strongly
suggested and his chances for being
made the party candidates will be diff
ficult for any other aspirant now prob
able to overcome.
Gov Harmon was born in 1916 and
therefore in 1912 will be Sc years old
His age would be about the most
serious impediment to his candidacy
for the presidential office. No man
so old save VIM. Henry Harrison has
ever been elected President. Harri-
son was 6S when elected, James Buch-
anan was 65, Zachary Taylor was GA
and Andrew Jackson 61. All other |
Presidents weer under so. AS Gen
Harmon is strong physically andse,
every respect a remarkably we'll Zap
served man his age alone should }old
prevent either his nomination or

LARGE ASSESSMENT IN
COUNTY Of george
Special to The NetDs.

Lucedale, Miss, Sept. 29.-The
county auditor has just completed the
assessment rolls of this county. This
is the first assessment of the new
county, and shows the valuation Of
the real property to be, $1,051 ,76S.00,
and the personal to be, $500, ,463.00,
giving total of 81, 1,442,231.0
This assessment, however, does not
include any railroad property. There
is only about forty miles Of railroad in
George county, the value of which is
fixed by the railroad commission.
The assessment is somewhat late,
owing to the fact that it had to be
taken from the rolls of Jackson and
Greene counties, out of which George
county was created.

CONSERVATION.

There is so much talk now Of con-

gress and politics that it would be
well IL someone would come forward
>and explain just what conservation
means as the word is popularly used.
There Ia some opposition to the con-
servation process we believe on the
part Of persons who have mistaken
idea as to the real purpose of con-
servation. Because they have been
told that the government is setting
aside large tracts of forest lands to
save the trees from the Woodman's
axe, the impression prevails with
them that the government is trying
to hoard the resources of the country,
that It either expects to reap some

Slayers of an Empress.

Simultaneo sly with the announce ment that the international prison conference, held recently in Washing ton, had declared against solitary COZ finement, came the news Of the death of Luigu Luccheni in Geneva.
 Luccheni was the man who killed the empress of A Austria.
 In this country he would have been tried and executed There would have been the end of il all. The same is true of Eng land, or France, or Germany,or most any other country of Europe.
 In Switzerland capital punishment has been abolished. The Swiss, long years ago, decided against taking human life, even where murder most savage had been committed. The Swiss did not decide against solitary contins- ment.
 Such punishment is worse than death. ometime the offender is placed in dark dungeon, beyond the light of the sun, forb dden to speak or be spok- en 10 It is yet custom in Italy. There Is but one end 10 such a sent ence. It is insanity or suicide. Nohum- an mind is sufficiently strong to stand such tax. The nerves are the first to go, and then the mind. Death is far more merciful than this. It is much easier for man to suffer the brief shock of electrocution or the hang mans drop than the days and weeks of silent tortore.
 The various countries of the world were represented at the Washington conference There were, in all, near ly forty nationalities and govern ents participating in the discussion of the prison affairs of the world.
 The parole system was almost unani- mously indorsed and there was gen. eral vote against silent incarcerant, The discussion as to whether capital punishment should be abolished was not brough up. The governments of the world are general opposed to 1t. Soli- tary confinement is a relic of ancient
 
 of the feudal barons of Englan and with the days of ancient dynasties Of other countries in Europe. It is relic of barba ism and it is well that the nations of the world ae beginning to realize that more good can be accom- plished among the criminal classes by humane methods than by cruel ones.
 The death of Lucceeni is the same death that others have encountered in their solitary cells. He became rasing maniac before the end. The d ip of the damp cell in which he was hid den from the light Of day, brought about insanity and his removal to an- other cell brought death, for he hang ed himself to the bars of the window.
 It would have been far more human in the first place to have executed the poor wretch.-Ex.
