ALL CANDIDATES CONFIDENT.

FORD BROS. CO.,
Per II. B. Ford, Sec

Jackson.-That in little more than
one month there will be some OF the
most badly fooled and thoroughly dis
appointed people under the sun wtkn
the state Of Mississippi is the straight
est line of dope than can be ventured,
so far as the result CT the senatorial
contest is concerned, it is s,rstLns
forecast, not that the Vardaman sr the
anti-N ardaman forces either viii have
the cnch thing on the situation, but
that one side or the other is going to be
right badly fooled when ths votes ara
all counted and the returns are all in.
Both sides profess to see victesg writ
ten in these blue June skies, and this
is given as the straight tip after care
ful survey OF the statewide field. The
forces at work to promote the campaign
interests of both Mr.. Alexander and
Senator Percy are as optimistic and sure
that eX-Gov. Vardaman will be defeated
as are the supporters of TIE latter that
he will secure a majority over both his
opponents in the first primary.
Never before in the history of NIissis-
sippi politics or within the history of the
present generation, has the interest in
the canvass for general state offices
been as decidedly subordinated in the
popular mind to that felt in the contest
for United States senator as in this
present year. But then interest in con-
tests for general Offices has generally
hitherto centered in the all-important
gubernatoral end of the campaign, which
on this occasion has been as good as
eral months.

MASoNS MUST PAY BENEFIT.
Husband Died Two Days After Lodge
Issued Certificate.

Jackson.-A decision which threatens
to change the charter of number of
state benevolent associations wa. rem
dered by the supreme court in the case
OF the Masonic Benevolent Association
against Anna HoalSins. The case was
instituted in Yalobusha county by Mrs.
Hoskins to recover 5000 for the death
OF her husband. The court gave her
verdict-a and the society brought the
case on an appeal to the supreme court.
The decision of the lower court was af-
firmed and the society will be compelled
to pay the death benefit.
Tie facts in the case are Interesting.
Morris HoslSins, the husband of the
plaintiff, was a member of the society,
and in 1895 he procured certificate
which entitled his widow to recover a
certain sum of money in the event of
his death. A provision in the constiu-
ton of the order is to the effect that
each holder is required to pay 81, with
out notice, to the endowment fund, or
forfeit the certificate.
The testimony taken on the trial of
the case shows that Hoskns failed to
pay dues for March, April, May, June,
July and August, 1907, and that under
the charter of the society he forfeited
his certificate. He took sick two or
three days prior to August 13, and on
that date he applied to the secretary
for renewal certificate and paid So
required by the laws to have himself
reinstated. The renewal certificate was
issued ON August II, and on its face
it provided that it would not be valid
until thirty days after its issuance.
He died on August 81, seven days
after he appealed for a renewal and
two days after the certificate had been
issued.
The attorneys representing Mrs. Hos
kins contended that she was entitled
to the benefit by reason of the issuance
of the renewal certificate and the ac-
oeptance Of the dues. The court holds
that the defense is without valid rea-
sons, and must pay the claim.

DR.. j. G. Robert, Sec. Centrevile Busi
ness League:
keplying to your request for informa.
ton relative to our truck farm we state:
Last December we bought so acres
of land for $1,000 adjoining the town OF
CentrevilIe. We put on it improvements
amounting to $500, including therein a
good deal of woven wire fences for our
herd of pure bred Berkshire hogs. Twelve
acres OF this ground we put in tomatoes
OF which three acres were killed about
the 10th of March. From the remaining
nine acres we have gathered and sold
S5,175 worth of tomatoes after paying
freight and express charges. The cost OF
growing and gathering was $s6S. Cost
of 5,40O crates, $432. Total expense,
S1,SO0, leaving net proceeds on nine
acres $3,s75. The twelve acres that
were planted in tomatoes will now be
put in peas with double purpose of max
ing feed for stock and of enriching the
land. On this ifty-acre tract we have
also twelve acres in pasture, six in sweet
potatoes, sixteen in corn with peas
broadeasted therein, one acre in sorghum
and an acre or two in woodland.
We have ten select Berkshire sows and
fine crop of spring pigs. We expect to
sell $2,5oo worth of pigs this year. |
would further say we have averaged
$400 per acre on tomatoes the past two
years.

RULING HTS PACKERS
Judge Carpenter Denies Motion for
Rehearing at Chicago.

Judge Carpenter at Chicago Monday
denied the motion of the packers for q
rehearing Of their motion to quash the
indictments against them.
The motion for rehearing is de
MED"
In six words the judge brushed aside
the latest plea of J. Ogden Armour
and the other indicted packers.
The packers based their right to the
rehearing on the ground that the Grim
inal provisions of the Sherman act
were not definite enough to warrant
the return of indictments or prosecu.
tion for an alleged violations of its in.
hibitions. They also argued that the
restraint alleged was reasonable, >
and referred to the United States su
