School Book Commission.

Gov. Noel appears satisfied that the
men whom he has chosen as text book
commissioners for the next five years
will measure fully up to all the re-
uuirements, and that they will carry
out both the spirit and the letter OF
the law. In making his selections he
was careful to choose men who are
not only engaged in teaching In the
public schools of the state at the pres
ent time and who have been so en-
gagged for several years, and are in
touch with the needs and requirements
but whom he has sufficient assurance
will retain their connection or Will In
all probability.
It has been his policy to as Ar as
possible shield the appointees from the
pressure which the experience OF the
past has shown the text book commis'
sioners to be subjected in order that
they may the better carry out the du-
| ties entrusted to them. The law spe-
| officially provides that he commission
| ers shall not hold direct communlca-
| tiOn officially with book men, nor the
| book men have access to them. Inc
| commissioners have advertised for pro-
| Dosals which are to be submitted I'M
| der seal by June 9, and oil publishers
or book houses will be privileged to
| submit their bids, and furthermore
they will be expected to furnish a list
or COPY of the bid for each commls
sioner. Under the law they Will be
permitted to appear before the com
mission in regular stated session ana
explain their bids or any features that
they may desire to bring forward, but
under no circumstances will a member
of the commission be allowed to ais
cuss bids or books with any or the
representatives of the book concerns

James Wins Drainage Suit.

The supreme court Monday handed
down an opinion in the case Oh 1. u.

age Commission, deciding for James
and his associates in that h proposed
bond issue, which they were nghtlhS'
is tied up still, but not passing upon
| the final constitutionality of the act.
| The decision reinstates the INDUCTION
| and remands the case to chancellor
| Denton. None of the 100000
authorized for the Tallahatchie drain
age project can be issued as long Is
| the Injunction stands.
The case was a holly contested one.
The legislature two years ago passed
what is known as the T~allanatchle
| drainage act. 1t was intended to form
a system of drainage for Coahoma, Iu'
MICA and Quitman counties ana ina
portion of 1'allahatchie, Pamela, Iate
and Desoto counties lying in the delta.
The governor appointed eleven COM
missioners and they organized by elect
ing DR.. II. w. Crenshaw president n
Oscar Carr secretary. 1t was stated
at the passage of the act that the main
drains would cost probably not to ex'
coed 1900, 900.
When the plans began TO be formed
there was some uneasiness in the low
er part of the district from fear thai
thew would be overfiowed, but there
was no organized opposition to the
scheme until the first engineering re
port came out, showing that the main
drains would cost $4,000, 600. When the
commission adopted this, the OPPOSE
ton was crystalized. Subsequent plans
to cheaper the work have not lesseneo

our stock cars at home. They had box
cars. which were entered at the ends by
doors so low that one had to 6toop to
get through them. The cars had no
seats. and the passengers elthor stood
or sat on their baggage. All the cars

During the trip lunches were
brought in to the first-class passengers.
These consisted of tea, cakes and
sweets. We had candied citron in the
shape of little green balls and de-
licious English walnut meats, the full
kernels, imbedded in sugar. The con-
ductors on this train were English.
A ROAD TO THE GREAT WALL.
While in Pekin learned much about
the new railroad, which is now building
through the great wall on into Mon
golia- This is a branch Of the I'm
perial railway system, and it is being
constructed out of the profits of the
Mukden-Pekin line. 1t begins at Pc
kin, and goes northward past the Ming
Tombs to tho Nankow pass. One hun
dred and twenty-five miles are al
ready built, and q connection has been
made with the Mongollan city Of Kali
gan on the other side OF the great
wall. Kalgan has 10000 inhabitants;
1t Is the great center OF the caravan
trade, a half million or more camels
passing 1t each year. The road will
have a considerable traffic in carrying
meat. furs and grain from Mongolia to
Pekin. 1t viii also take tea to the
Mongols. The present plan is to ex- 2
tend it across the Cobb desert to Lake |
Baikal. where 1t will connect with the |
Trans Siberian railway. and form the |
shortest route to Europe. 1t will put |
Pekin within 13 or IA days of London, |
and the time to New York by fast |

The road starts from Pekin. and. un-
til it neaI-s the mountains, the country |
Is comparatively smooth. 1t then rises |
rapidly, and the track ascends 1S00
feet In 101a miles. At the pass itself |
tunnel about three quarters of O mile
long has been constructed, through |
which the trains pass under the great !
wall. This road is we'll built. although |

neers and constructed entirely by Chi

SHANGHATS BIG RAILROADS.
Another important railway center,
which will boom under tho new condi-
tions, is this city of Shanghai 1t is
already the Paris of China, and 1t be-
gins to take on the aspects OF a Eu-
ropean city. 1t has big business
blocks, mighty factories and magnifi-
cent residences. Along the line of rail-
road construction, 1t Is moving more
rapidly than any other city in China.
1t has recently been connected with
Hangchow, one of tho wealthiest cities
OF eastern China, and a railroad Is
building from there to the seacoaSt
at Ningpo. Another line is projected
to Chjnkiang. and the trains arc now
running over the trunk road which
passes through Suchow and Chinkiang
10 Nanking. Other projections are
planned north and south.

NEW RAILWAYS ON THE
YANGTSE.
A number OF new railways are
building along the Yangtse river. In
another letter l have written of the
trunk line from HanSow TO Canton,
for which the Americans once had
concession That is being built south

read is to be built from HankoW

thence on to CheDgtu. This Is the
famous SZechuen road, in the loan OF

capitalists are demanding a share. II

About half way up the Yangtse,
from Marking to Wuchang. is the

the Poyang lake and is about eighty
five miles from the big city of Nam
chang The latter town contains over
a million inhabitants and Is one OF
the chief business places OF China. A
railway Is now building between these
two important trade centers 1t
should be completed and in operation
by the time this letter Is published.
The road was laid out by japanese
survey ors and the construction will
be exceedingly costly. There arc three
japanese civil engineers, each of
whom has a score of Japanese aSSis-

can be made in less than three hours.

Herbert G. Torrey, Who Served
Thirty-Seven Years, Loses
His Position.

NEW YORK, October 11.-Herbert G.
Torrey. chief assayer here, has resigned
after almost thirty-seven years OF serv-
ice. He has sent in his resignation to
George E. Roberts. director of the mint
at Washington. who wrote to him ten
days ago that 1T had been called for by
the President. The resignation takes ef-
feet November I, when Mr.. Torrey will
have been in charge of the assaying at
the local assay office, on Wall street, for
thirty-seven years He blames a man
whom he placed in the service for the loss
of his Office.
When Mr.. Torrey received the letter
from Mr.. Roberts he and some of his
friends wrote to President Taft, asking
him why Mr.. Torrey was requested to
resign. Thursday last Mr. Torrey re-
ceived a letter from the President. tell
ing him that he would have to go, as it
was planned to reorganize the assay
office here.
Assigns q Reason.
Mr. Torrey said last night that he
thought his resignation had been called
for on account of trouble he had had for
many months with one of his subordi-
mates He said that several members of
his staff had told him that one of the
clerks had been making complaints to
Daniel p. Kingsford, superintendent of
the Office and probably to the director of
the mint. the foundation for which was
the fact that Mr.. Torrey for some time
had done private work In the assay office,
with official permission
