Alter Cotton Seed Oil Rate.

Washington.-Senator Taylor of Ten.
nessee appealed in vain to Secretary
Knox in behalf of the cottnOseed oil in
terests with reference to the adjustment
of tariff rates with France. Under the
terms of the tariff cottonseed is admitted
into france free of duty, but a heavy

American seed, admitted duty free, can
be made in France and shipped back to

Mississippi News


Maj. Gen. VIII T.. Martin, OF the JEFF
Davis Legion, C. S. A., died at his ante
bellum home, near Natchez, aged 81
years. A member of the constitutional
convention in 1890, he refused to sign
the Natohez, Jackson & Columbus rail-
road, and was president until the road
was sold to the IaZoo & Mississippi VAL
ley. He was postmaster at Natchez for
two years under former President Roose-
welt. He is survived by his widow and
nine children. On November II, 1861, he
was commissioner major of the Second
Mississippi Cavalry, jeff Davis Legion.
A daring officer, promotion came rapidly.
He accompanied Stuart in the raid at
Richmond during the seven days battle,
making the entire circuit of McClellan's
army, bringing in prisoners and import
ant information for Gen. Lee.
Because he made too able an argu-
ment in his own defense, c. C. Briggs,
formerly agent of the Kansas City, Jack
son & Mobile railroad at Louisville, must
serve a term in the State pe%nitentiary.
Briggs conducted his own case when
he was charged with transportation
of funds of the railroad. He startled
those in the court room by declaring
that he was insane and that he would
set up legal evidence in support of his
allegation. The jury could not under
stand, however, how an insane man
could advance such clear cut and forci-
BILE arguments, and Briggs was found
guilty.
In an attempt to surpass, if possible,
the free barbecue given last year, plans
have already begun for another barbe-
cue July 4, which will add another notch
to the many Greenville already has as
an entertainer without equal. The d.
rectors of the Delta Fair Association
have decided to have a baseball game
and numerous other attractions to whet
the appetite of the guests of the city on
the national holiday. The race program
will include two trotting events, one rum
ming race, a pony and mule race; some
of the events being open to entries from
any part of the country.

The TaIk of DemagogueS.

The placing of hides on the free list.
according to Democratic orators and
writers, would usher in an era of lower
cost in one of the necessities of life.
But, in spite of free hides, shoes are to
be dearer. The foes of Protection ig-
more this item. They do not attempt
to explain it because an analysis would
be an attack on their own position.
The case referred to is not excep-
tional. In the great coal strike during
the first Roosevelt administration Con-
gress suspended the duty on coal. Ac-
cording to Democratic speakers the
duty of 81 cents a ton was the main
cause of high prices and threatened to
bring on famine in the industry. But
the removal of the duty had no effect
on the American coal market. When
the duty went off in this country for
eign shippers marked up their prices.
Consequently, foreign coal was not or
dered. Nothing could be made by deal
ers or consumers by its importation.
Another example dates back to the
time when the American duty on coffee
was dropped in response to the demand
for free breakfast table. No sooner
was coffee admitted free at our ports
than the foreign exporters increased
their prices so as to cover the new mar
gin of difference. Random talk about
"robber tariff" is freely INDUCED in
by demagogues. Their party has al
ways failed in constructiveness. 1t is
recklessly destructive, and also ignor-
ant of practical results when duties are
removed.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

When the Press Starts.

Have you ever been there when the
press starts
In the misty dawn of the morn,
When lights burn low and time drags
slow,
And the tire of life is born?
A tire that comes ere the press starts,
A dullness that sears and stings,
From the time that you write the last
story at night
Till the bell for the press starting
rings.
A hush floats down ere the press
starts
For moment the world stands still;
Then the grind and roar through the
pressroom door,
Sends the news to save or kill.
For lives are made when the press
starts,
And lives are ruined in the dawn,
When the first wet sheet on the lonely
street,
Gives the stories from heart throbs
drawn.
A life in the tolls when the press starts
To tell to the world its tale,
To feed its mead to a nations greed
And to rend the sophist's veil.
There's clash and a roar when the
press starts,
And the noise of hurrying feet.
There are calls and commands from the
mailroom hands"
AS the bundles are borne to the street.
But few ever mind when the press
starts
Save those who are paid for thestress
OF their love and faith in that tickle
wrath
The Goddess of News and the press.

INTELLIGENT REPUBLICANS OF THE
NINTH,

Our esteemed Roanoke contemporary,
The Times, continues to indulge in
dreamy enthusiasm over the prospects
of Democratic success in the Ninth Dis
trict. 1t magnifes the Importance and
ability of its dear friend, Mr. Stuart;
and sneers at the ability and worth of
the present representative in Congress,
Hon. G. B. Slemp. And The Times as
sumes that Intelligent Republicans
out here will surely support Mr. Stuart.
We are gratified that The Times has at
last found out that there are ''intelIi-
gent Republicans" in this district. We
recall the fact that not a great while
ago Mr.. Williams was confident that
the strength of Republicanism in the
Ninth was based upon the ignorance of
those who voted for the party and its
candidates. When that foolish theory
was held and advanced Republicans out
here laughed. Now, when the same
authority presupposes that the 'intelli-
gent Republicans" will rush to his sup
port and elect Mr.. Stuart all such will
scorn to partake of the taffy that is
now so freely offered.
The Republicans Of the Ninth District
are the best informed and among the
most intelligent voters of the State.
They are better educated on the poll
cies of government and the records of
the political parties than are the men
OF most sections of the Union. And
these intelligent voters will be repealed
by any effort on the part of the Demo
cratic newspapers to disparage Mr..
Slemp's intelligence and his representa-
tive ability and achievements. The
Republicans will welcome comparison
of Mr.. Stuart with Mr.. Slemp along
these lines.

Strange That II Didn't Come Sooner,

The West is not going crazy for low
tariff rates. Colorado is a State in
which good deal of opposition to the
new law was said to prevail, but the in
telligent people out thsre are not to be
fooled by the silly free-trade trick of
trying to lay all advance in prices of
necessaries of life to the tariff. The
Boulder (Colo.) News remarks: eff
the tariff is the cause of high prices, as
is so persistently asserted, it is strange
that they did not come sooner. We
have had high tariff law for many
years, and it is curious if it has lust
begun to affect prices so radically, and
especially on those articles on which
the tariff has been reduced or remov-
ed" 1t is just as reasonable to at
tribute to the tariff the altitudinous
prices Of wheat, gold and other pro-
ducts during the strenuous times of the
Civil War.-Troy Times.

WHAT THEY'RE PLAYING FOR.

1t is hardly possible that the Demo
Gratis of the Ninth Congressional Dis
trict can be so stupid as to think they
can elect Mr.. Stuart to Congress this
Fall. 1t is more possible that their
eager pretense that they think they can
do so is but a ruse to cover another
scheme which they have in view, and
that Is to take from the Republicans, if
that be possible, next year the county
Offices in the various counties of the dis
trict. Nearly all the offices in the thir-
teen counties that compose the district
are held by Republicans. 1t was a ter
rife blow to the Democrats when the
Republicans captured these offices
twelve years ago, and the chief concern
of the Democrats ever since has been tc
devise ways and means with which tc
retake what they were so distressed t
lose.
The Republicans are alive to the stu
alton, and nothing will more thoroughly
unite them and make them stand fas
to party lines than the knowledge o.
the fact that the Democrats are pre-
pairing now for the battle of 1911, whel
the county offices are to be conteste,
for. Every Repuhlican voter will h.
qualified to vote at the approaching
Congressional election, and very few, il
any, will fail to vote for the candidat,
of their party. This will mean tn,
overwhelming defeat of Stuart, and tn,
election next year of Republicans TO
the county offices in nearly all the coun
ties of the district.

Underwater Farmers Institute,

The farmers of the Tidewater section
of Virginia held one of the most profit
| able and meetings in years at the Lynn
haven Hotel in Norfolk on last Satur-
day. Many Federal agricultural ex-
perts were on hand to address the as
semblage on the many phases of truck
ing and farming to which the Tidewater
section of the State is peculiarly adapt
ed. Governor VIM. Hodges Mann was
also on the speakers program, and
proved himself a real farmer" when
1T came to talking agricultural matters.
Among other things the Governor said:
I'm Virginia there is IL, 500, 900 acres
of land, but few of US realize that only
1000, 600 acres is under cultivation.
Don't understand me to say that the
balance is not fertile. 1t is Large
portions of it is in pasture and covered
with forests.
Just think, there are about 10, 900. =
600 acres of idle land in this fertile old
State. If we had the same density of
population as the State of Maine, we
could support a population of IL, 900, 900,
population greater than that of New
York"
Governor Mann then touched upon
the corn crop of Virginia, which is one
of his favorite subjects. He pointed
out that three billion bushels of corn is
raised IN the Union. Of this Virginia
produces 1900, 900 bushels, and if Mis-
souri, and Kentucky are counted in as
Southern States, the South produces
one-tnird of the crop of the Union. The
Governor pointed out that the average
corn yield in Virginia is twenty-five
bushels. Some boys, he said, in expert
menting under the direction of the
United States Department of Agricult-
ure, are producing corn crops of from
seventy-five to one hundred bushels to
the acre. Referring to the pace the
Virginia boys are setting, Governor
Mann remarked that if the Virginia
farmer would double his corn crop and
would get 70 cents per bushel for the
grain, the revenue of the State would
reach the stupendous figures of $780,
129, 900 from this source alone.
The Governor then touched upon the
potato crop of Virginia. He deplored
the fact that the Tidewater truckers
are sending to Maine for their seed DO
tato. He said Southwest Virginia is
now making experiments in producing
the seed potato, and if it ranks with
the Maine product ne hopes the Tide
water trucker will send to the South
west for the seed.

Modification Of Southern Cattle Quarantine

The Secretary Of Agriculture has is
sued an order, effective April 1, releas-
ing from the Federal quarantine for
Texas fever or tick fever of cattle GER
tain areas amounting to over As, 200
square miles. This action is taken as a
result of the good progress made in the
determination of ticks which spread
the disease.
Omitting half of Texas and Oklahoma
the territory released is as follows:
In Arkansas, the counties of Benton
and Washington.
In Mississippi, the counties of De
Soto, Tate and Tunica.
In Tennessee, the counties of Brad
ley and James.
In Georgia, the counties of White.
Habersham and Stevens.
In Virginia, Brunswick county.
The total territory freed of ticks and
released from quarantine since the be
ginning of the work of tick eradication
in 1906 aggregates about 100, 900 square
miles, or an area nealy half the size of
the State of Texas.
The recent order also prescribes reg
ulations for the territory remaining in
quarantine. Copies of this order may
be obtained on application to the Bureau

NORTON CHARTER AMENDED.
People Much Concerned Over Bill Passed
BY Legislature Amending Charter.

Norton has been concerned very much
for the past ten days over bill which
passed the recent session of the legis-
iature amending the charter of the
town. At the beginning of the session
a bill was framed by the towns attor-
ney and passed on by the town council
slightly changing the boundaries of the
wards and providing for commissioner
of the revenue. This was sent to Rich
mond where it was introduced in both
houses of the legislature. Along with
the majority of other local bills, it had
slow road to travel, and just on the
eve of adjournment it was learned that
several amendments had been tackled
on to the bill by parties in Norton with
out the knowledge of the council or
| anybody else, except few individuals
of the opposition" who have given
the present officials considerable trouble
by trying to block progressive measures
in the towns interest.
These amendments were said to con-
tain several startling provisions with
regard to the conduct of the towns af-
fairs. One of them gave the mayor
enlarged powers, enabling him to han
die the funds of the town and to desig-
nate where and how they should be
kept on deposit. Another made the
