Telephone Connections Beneficial

We are very much impressed
with the utterances in the last is
sue of the East Miss. Times, which
wee reproduce, an6nt the State
interfering with the contract re-
latiOns Of the Cumberland Tele-
phone company and numerous
smaller companies doing business
in connection with it,
Here in Macon the Cumberland
exchange connects with the
Brooksville exchange and lines OF
J. c.. Cavett, and numerous
lines of Messrs. Tom and John
Paulette, These lines ramify
practically all Of NoXubee county
and run back into Alabama.
THERE'S no estimating the dam
age and loss that our citizens
would sustain if the relations be-
tween the Cumberland and other
companies should be brought to
an end. The connections are
valuable in so many ways, both
commercially and socially, that
we cannot undertake to reckon
their value in dollars and cents,
but We do say that the cutting Of
the connections between the Cum
berland and these companies
would be in the nature of a ca
Iamity, for ours is like the case
at Starkville. If the connection
should be cut the only means that
could be employed to reach the
people on these country lines
would be by having a second sys-
TEN in Macon. We think a Sc
cond system would be detrimen-
to the best interets Of the COM
munity.
The owners Of these country
lines are we'll known farmers and
business men, and they tell us
their relations with the Cumber-
land are satisfactory and pleasant,
and that they could not run their
business successfully without hav-

COURT.
Report of the Grand Jury.

To the Hon. T. b. Carroll, Judge of the
Sixteenth Circuit Court District:
We the Grand Jury, duly empan-
elled for the August. 1910, term of the
Circuit Court of Noxubee county, res
p~ectfully submit this final report of our
labors.
We have sat in session nine days and
examined PIT witnesses and returned
50 true bills. We have to report that
a few witnesses duly summoned and
personally served with process to ap-
peal before our body have failed to so
appear but have ~disobeyed and disre-
garded our summons. We append a
list of such recalcitrant witnesses for
yOur HOnOr's action.
We have examined the county Jail,
the court house and the poor house and
find them kept in good condition, and
we also examined the books of the
county officers, including the sheriff
and chancery clerk, and SO far as we are
able to determine, they are all correctly
and neatly kept.
We find the county roads in very good
condition, showing a marked improve
ment over the past few years.
We congratulate the people of Noxu-
bee county on the fact that the county
seems to be comparatively free from
serious crime, most infractions of the
law being petty misdemeanors. We
find in some sections evidence OF the
illicit sale of whiskey, but satisfactory
proof is very difficult to obtain.
We have been enabled to transact the
business of the grand jury with great
dispatch owing to the efforts and con-
slant attendance on our body of Hon.
D. F. Allgood county attorney. He
has proven an efficient and fearless Of
ficer and a great help to u body IN
the prompt and proper discharge OF Its
duty. We find that by a proper prose-
cution in the lower courts action by the
Grand Jury has been rendered unnec-
cessasy in many instances and IN mat
tiers coming before it, his assistance has
enabled them to act promptly and with
full knowledge of the matter. We are
convinced of the wisdom of the act of
the last Legislature of Mississippi IN
creating and establishing the office of
County Attorney, believing it to make
for law and order and to be an economic
measure in the end.
We wish also to express our appre-
citation of the courtesy and assistance
Hon. Harden. Brooks, the District At
torney, has shown US, and to commend
the ability and efficiency with which he
has assisted in and supplemented the
work of the Grand Jury.
This Grand Jury feels that its report
would be lacking if it contained nothing
concerning the impression your Honor
created on them. We thank your Honor
for the grave, sensible and learned
charge which at once enlighted our con
sciences and our minds, showing US our
duty and inspiring US to prefOrm it We
commed, too, your Honor's conduct Of
the court, and the fairness and con-
sideration shown from the bench to all
having dealings with the court.
Having completed our labors, we ask
to be discharged.

BILLS OF LADING.

asked today about the policy OF
that Company relative to the val
idation of order notify bills oflad-
ing TOR export cotton, said:
'The management of the South
ern Railway Company recognizes
the great commercial Importance
of this subject, and will do all that
it properly can to promote conf
dence in the markets of the world
in its bills Of lading. 1t is belived
that the effective enforcement of
certain business precautions will
go far to satisfy any doubt which
now exist as a result Of certain
alleged manipulation by shippers
of order notify bills Of lading for
export cotton last season, for which
the railways were in no responsible.
E'The system of issuing such bills
of Iading was the subject Of a
special conference between the "a
rierS and bankers. AS a result Of
this conference, which was held at
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
on the 10Th ultimO, the Southern
Railway Company will arrange, be-
ginning on September 1, 1910, to
make effective the safeguards sur
rounding the issue of order notify
bills of lading which we're then
agreed upon. Among other things
agreed upon tending to improve
the system of issuing order notify
bills of lading for export cotton,
these regulations provide for a bill
Of lading signature certificate
which will be signed and attached,
on behalf of the Railway Company
by a valuation officer, to each ord
er notify bill of lading for export
cotton issued by agents of the
Company authorized to issue such
bills of lading. Each valuation
certificate will set forth that the
agent who has signed the bill of
labing is the regularly appointed
agent Of the Company, and, as
such is authorized to sign bills of
lading in accordance with the reg
ulations of the Company, and that
the signature on the attached order
notify bill of lading is his sigma
ture. The certificate will be ire
mOvably attached to the bill of
lading covered by it, and, as an adj
ditional safeguard, the bill of lad
ing, in addition to it's own number,
will bear the number of the certi-
ticate issued in connection with it.
Agents will be instructed not to
sign bills of lading until the cotton
is in the possession of the Railway
Company.
"Realizing the Importance of
this matter, the officer in charge
are instructed to adopt every pre-
caution to make the regulations
effective, especially that prohibit
ing the issue of these bills of lad
ing before cotton has been received
by the carrier. 1t is believed that
the effect Of these safeguards will
be to prevent any such manipula-
ton of bills of lading as it is alleg-
ed was practiced in connection
with last years crop, but, as l
have said, for which the railways
were in no way responsible

Minis Spann Has Narrow Escape.

What came neal being a serious
this morning when Mr.. w. NJ.
Spann was thrown from a buggy at
the corner of Eight street and
Twenty-second avenue and dragged
over the brick pavement for some
distance. His injuries were only
slight however and he will be able
to resume his duties tomorrow.
Mr.. Spann, who is a member of
the crew that is now making soil
survey of the county left his board
ing house this morning, in com
pany with his brother, in a two
horse buggy.
About eight o'clock, as he was
driving down Twenty-secOnd ave
nue. he suddenly e%ncOunted a
number of vehicles at the federal
building on Eighth street. He
whipped up his horses intending
to turn down Eighth street and
! avoid 4 collision. In doing so he
turned so sharply that he was
thrown with his brother from the
buggy. He chung to the lines and
was dragged by the frightened
team in the direction of the county
court house. He finally regained
self-contrOl in time to get to his
feet again. In the meantime the
buggy had turned over and been
considerably damaged.
Those who witnessed the occur
ance were helpless to render any
assistance as the accident had TAX
en- place so suddenly, They say
that the young mans escape was
nothing short Of miraculous,

TRADES COUNCIL
REFUSES TO LINE
ON MARITIME PLAN
Labor Organization Declines to
Line Itself in Ranks of
PlainfeId Man.

An effort to have the Essex Trad
Council go on record as favoring thu
candidacy of James e. MARITIME for
United Stetes senator was made at a
meeting of hat body last night and
defeated. 1t happened in the form Of
a resolution offered by a delegate from
one Of the local unions which the
council very positively refused to
agree to.
Business Agent Brennan, Of the Sta
tionary Flremen's Union. said his local
proposed to have a series of lectures
by experts during the next few months
designed to improve the technical ana
theoretical, as well as the actual ex-
perience of its members, and extended
an invitation to fellow trades union
lists to attend the meetings.
Delegate ohm Roach. of the Leather
Workers Union, reported the local
strike conditions as being the same,
with little prospect of a settlement in
sight. He acknowledged the receipt of
several hundred dollars for the relief
fund from local unions and was as
sured of the receipt of much more.
Delegates John r. Mclean, James
Brennan and Henry Hilfers were
named as a committee to urge Bam-
berger & Co. to arrange to have only
union labor employed on the mammoth
new building which the firm is about
to erect.

Inside. the building the sight was ap7.
palling. Great piles of broken brick,
concrete and stone lay heaped on top OF
broken, twisted iron beams.
over this wreckage, still rocking from
the crash, the cue scrambled up to
the second level.
Victims Located by Groans
Groans came loudest from the right
and bearing I'M that direction the men
came upon a body lying under three
feet o fdebries with nothing showing
but the HEAD and one arm. The victim
was dragged forth and carried to one of
the a%mbulances drawn UP in the crowd
ed street outside. He proved to be
Grimes.
Back in the ruins again the rescuers
came quickly upon the body of the
dead man. JOIN Kalodziez. His body
was horribly mangled beneath half a
ton Of iron, beams and brick, and across
his face had fallen a heavy steel russ
He had been Killed instantly. His body
was taken out as soon as a sheet TO
cover it could be found.
The third excursion of the rescuers
brought forth Saddey from beneath a
truss that had crushed his thigh and
one leg.
Another May Be Buried.
| 1t was while they We're carrying this
man out that Henning says he heard
groans, and LOGGING the direction of q
great pile of debris. saw something that
he thinks was a mans shirt. The po-
lice say it was a white bay. Henning
ran toward it, but as he neared the
spot part of a wall of brick and mortar
fell upon the heap with a great crash,
burrying the object from sight. Further
search today refused to disclose n
more bodies and the contractors de-
clare tina a roll-call with the known
dead and injured marked off, shows
that no one else is missing.
During the work Of rescue a small
fire broke out in the wreckage, but was
quickly. extinguished by No. 5 Engine
! Company and No. l Truck.
1t had been feared for an hour that
a second party of worlkmen a been
entombed, but they were found in an
alleyway binding up the cuts and
bruises that showed for their narrow
escape. They were John Tettlebaum, IT

LOWER EXPRESS RATES
THROUGHOUT CANADA.

OTTAWA, ontario, Dec. 24.-The Can
adam Railway Commission has directed
the express companies of the dominion
to file lower tariff rates within three
months.
The commission declared that express
rates are too high, and hat as the ex-
press companies are owned by the rail-
way companies there is ne occasion for
the existence of separate companies to
handle the express business.
