.CONSTITUTIONALITY
OF Law in QUESTION
Bond Purchasers Write City Attorney
Sullivan Asking for Full and Def
mite Information Upon This Sub
ject.

Since the constitutionality of the
law providing that municipalities of
Mississippi issue bonds for the pur-
pose of erecting State Normal Col
lege has been brought into question
by We'll, Roth & Co., the Cincinnati
firm which agreed to purchase both
city and county bonds for this purpose,
it is probable that friendly suit to
test the legality of the issue may be
instituted in the state supreme court.
City Attorney Sullivan has received
a letter from the purchasers in which
they ask for full and definite informa-
tion on the subject, suggesting that
in the event Mr.. Sullivan fails to prove
to their satisfaction that the law au-
thorizing the issue is constitutional
and regular in every respect, the SUI
preme court test will be resorted to.
The question at issue is whether or
not municipality has the right, un-
der the constitution, to issue bonds
for the erection and establishment of
state institution, and City Attorney
Sullivan, while believing that the law
will stand the constitutional test has
expressed the opinion that the best
and quickest way to settle the contro-
versy, is to put the matter before the
supreme court.
The outcome of this case will be
awaited with much interest by Hat.
tiesburg citizens, as it is believed that
the trustees of the Normal will not
determine upon what site the school
will be located until after this matter
shall be disposed of.

Women Voting a Joke.

Mrs. Darden knows every politician
in Texas, and does not hesitate to
work for the advancement of her
friends, yet she scorns the ballot.
"Votes for women! That's a joke"
she says. What do we want with
ballots, when every woman can infiu-
ence as many votes as she chooses
almost without limit?'
AS aforesaid, Mrs. Darden is enthu-
siastic in her work as business wo-
man.
What can be more inspiring than
working for the development of state
like Texas?" she explains. 81 find
it absolutely fascinating. There is so
much to tell people about Texas, and
there are so many things to do to de-
velop the great resources at our COM
mand."
This young woman can tell you on
hand what grows in every section OF
Texas, the nature of the soil, the prin-
cipal Industries and what any particu-
lar county needs most

Washington IS MUM
ON Reported FRAUDS
In ORLEANS SUGAR
officials Refuse to Talk About the Cur
rent Story That the Government
Plans New Move.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Officers of the
department of justice would not dis
cuss the report published in New York
on Friday that the government is plan
ming to make another move against
the sugar trust, this time at New Or
leans.
Frank L. Garbarino, special agent
of the department of justice, who made
an investigation Of alleged frauds at
New Orleans, has submitted a report
to Attorney Dennison.
The department would not give out
any information as to what this re-
port discloses. So far as can be learn
ed here the department has no infor-
nation which would warrant the facts
being laid before the federal grand
jury, and it was doubted here that the
situation disclosed at New Orleans
was as serious as indicated in the New
York publication.
The department of justice is not yet
ready to give out any information.
Nothing could be learned today from
officers of the treasury department.

new CONSTITUTION
SEEMS NECESSARY
In Order to Bring Necessary Amount
of Money Into the Treasury of
Mississippi.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 17.-To those ia
miliar with the conditions of the state,
it is more apparent than ever that
something must be done to bring more
money into the state treasury for gen.
eral purposes. But the question is,
how to do this?
Several plans have been suggested,
but it is not believed any effective
remedy can be had until new con-
stitution is framed for the state, pro-
viding for a state board of equaliza-
ton and that each county must sup
ports it's own schools.
There is no semblance of equaliza-
ton in Mississippi's tax system, and
cannot be under existing circumstanc-
es, as each board of supervisors has
it's own ideas on the question of valua-
ton, and as long as they can gel
enough money for the county govern
ment they care nothing for the state

At the summer cottage of Mrs 0 0
Melaas, at Dewey Bay, Lake Kegonsa,
took place Thursday the marriage of
Mrs Melaas' only daughter. Gaea, to
Mr. Gustav Roe, younger son of eX-
Mayor and Mrs O K Roe. The cere-
mony was performed at high noon by
Rev j A Stub, pastor of Christ Luth-
eran church, and present at the happy
function were only the nearest rela-
tives of the contracting parties.
Mrs G w Becker is suffering from a
stroke of apoplexy and a niece is here
from Fort Atkinson caring for her.
Mrs Becker has been occupying her
home here since her husband, ex-Mayor
Becker, left, in fact he disappeared
mysteriously and no trace of him has
yet been discovered, though his alb
sence has covered more than year.
When Mrs Becker was told by a neigh
boris wife that one Becker had COM
mitted suicide in New York she fell
over and has been in a critical condi-
ton since.
The first shipment of carp was made
on Wednesday night to Chicago and
amounted to about 5000 pounds. It
was sent by express as there was not
enough for car load and the weather
is too warm to risk keeping them until
more could be seined. The largest haul
has been only some over 5000 pounds,
though various stories were told of
much greater catch. Mr. Johnson from
Madison is the game warden who has
supervision over the work. Four good
sized pickerel were taken from the
seine and carefully placed in the out
side water when haul was made We'd
nesday afternoon. The heaviest carp
caught to date weighed about 80 pounds.

About thirteen acres of marsh at
Door Creek. ten of them owned by
Theodore Braaten and the remaining
belonging to the Olson brothers, have
been burning since Thursday of last
week and nearly twenty men have been
at work for the past several days try
ing to get the fire under control. Two
large stacks of hay have been burned.
A ditch has been dug entirely around
the burning section and a well dug
near by to supply water to flood the
trench. The fire burned under the
ditch at one place and at one time the
entire marsh was in danger, but at this
writing it is thought that the fire is
under control. In places it burned
down several feet into the soil. The

In getting {. start in the sheep bust

This is much the same as the meat

Handling Breeding Sheep.
When ewes are bought of q breeder
they will usually be bred. In raising
lambs for market on any considerable
scale ewes bought on the general mar
ket are a good deal cheaper. and very
good results can be obtained if mated
to a good. pure bred ram. The same
points of form spoken of in connection
with the eve should be looked after
in selecting the ram. In addition, he
should show masculinity in a strong
head. thick neck and large chest. His
legs should be strong. especially in the
pasterns. and he should not be over
fat. The ram should be from a strain
of profitable producers.
Where a ram lamb is used for serv-
ice fifteen or twenty ewes are as
many as he can we'll handle. 1t is
better and more profitable to use a
more mature sire. A yearling can
serve thirty to forty ewes and an old
ram sixty when they are left to run
with the flock all the time A better
plan is to turn the ram in with the
ewes for short time. only at morning
and night. keeping him in a pen by
himself the rest of the time. In this
way the ram can serve double the
number of ewes. 1t is a good plan TO
smear the rams breast with paint be-
