Futile Rally In Ninth.

A big attempt was made to tie the score
in the ninth After landing a man on sec
ond base, the Rourkes could do nothing
but pop up flies to the outfield. Schipke
went to bat for Rhodes in the ninth in

OIL FEVER STRIKES THE STATE
MANY SECTIONS INTERESTED IN
POSSIBILITIES.
SON in Northwestern Part of
Lawrence County.

Jacksonville oil fever has struck
Mississippi. The formation of the State
Line Oil Company, capitalized at ST.
600, 900, by Jackson and Birmingham
capitalists, is one of the first oil-seek-
ing enterprises to start operations in
the state. The corporation has interest
ed a number of Jackson and Mississippi
bushes men in the project, and $4,000
will be spent Immediately to start bor-
ing for oil near Van Wrinkle, two miles
from this city.
From Verna comes the news that oil
indications were discovered in the soil
at that place. b. z. Sandifer claims that
there is an oil lake on his property. He
bored a well on the land about four
years g and soon after its compile
ton he was compelled to abandon it be-
cause of the oil and gas mixed with the
water. He states that the well was
used on three or four occasions, but each
time he has been forced to abandon it.
The water is strongly impregnated with
oil, and at the present time he claims
that oil can be skinned from the sur
face of the water, and a match thrown
into it burns like gas.
The land referred to above is situated
in the southwestern part of Lawrence
county.
The United States geological survey
at Washington will be asked to make
an inspection of the land.

Thru.ts At Trusts.

The department Of justice Ii said to
have a thousand complaints against
the trusts upon its books. lnvestiga-
ton Of alleged violations Of the Sher-
man antitrust law leads the depart
ment to believe that 1t can carry
through several prosecutions with sue
cess before the end Of the year.
The decisions in the cases against
the Standard Oil company and the
American Tobacco company proved
that the Sherman law could deal with
the trusts so far as to halt their poll
cies Of greed and tyranny. But they
have not shown that the trust problem
could be settled thereby. What are
half a dozen suits, or half a hundred
for that matter, as against the forma-
ton and the conduct of e combina-
tons. new trade associations. new
pools and new agreements? They
amount to no more than the pin prick
in the hide of a rhinoceros.
Only a few politicians who still per
ceive advertising material in the do
nunciatiop of the trusts pretend that
prosecution can ever effectively stay
the course of economic evolution.
They but help to postpone the discov-
cry Of the solution. The real work of
dealing with the difficulty lies with
those who are confident that regula-
ton, not foolish attempts at destruc-
ton. constitutes the answer.

is THERE 4 C0MBINEf
inquiry Being Made As to Low Price sf
Cotton Seed.

Jackson.-Is there a trust among the
cotton seed crushers Of Mississippi to
keep the price of cotton seed down! That
is a question some people interested in
the market at jackson are trying to
solve.
Last year, in October, cotton seed were
selling all the way from $2s to $35 a
ton at various points in Mississippi, and
the mills and their buyers were fighting
for them even at those high prices.
This year, with the Mississippi crop
very short, the highest price recorded
has been $3.50 a ton, and the vendor of
cotton seed runs against the same price
all over the State at every point. Same
price, $16.5O, and no bidders for any
higher price.
Some of the States law officers are
conducting a quiet investigation and en-
deavoring to find out just what the stat
us is, and if there is a trust agreement
there will be something doing when the
grand Jury meets, if the evidence AN be
secured.
The meeting of the cotton cfushers at
jackson just before the opening of the
season and the close communion they
held with n another, coupled with the
subsequent low prices for seed, appear
significant to those who are studying
the proposition.

GOOD ROADS BUILDING.
Many Mississippi Counties Issue Bonds
for This Purpose.

Many Mississippi Counties Issue Bonds
for This Purpose.
Jackson.-An era of good roads build
ing is dawning all over Mississippi. Va
rious counties are taking great interest
in the subject.
Agricultural Commissioner Biakesles
is in receipt daily of lists Of delegates
appointed to the Statewide Good Roads
meeting in Jackson. Indications point
to a magnificent attendance.
Already more than twenty counties in
the State have issued bonds for the pur-
pose of building good roads, the list as re-
ported being as follows: Alcorn, $4,000;
Clay, 100000; Coahoma, ~$175,000; Co.
piah, $4,000; DeSoto, $4,000; Han
cock, $4,000; Kinds, 100000; Issa-
quena, $25,OOO; Lamar, $4,000; Mon
roe, $1OO,ooo; Pontotoc, $4,000; Rank
in, $4,000; Sharkey, $4,000; simpson,
$4,000; Tishomingo, $4,000; Tunica,
$4,000; Union, $4,000; Washington,
500, 900.
This does not comprise the entire list
of bond issues for road building, but is
all that have reported to the agricul'
tural commissioner.

PROF. W. H. SMITH
Returns to Work of Improving the Com.
mon Schools.

Jacksonville resignation of Prof. W.
H. Smith, elected this spring as president
of the new State Normal School, in pro-
cess of erection at Hattiesburg, was q
surprise. Prof. Smith states that his
heart is more in the rural school work,
improving the common schools of Missis-
sippi, and he believes he will be of more
service to the State in that capacity than
at the head of the normal college.
If Prof. Smith never does another
thing to endear him to Mississippi, he
has done enough in starting the Boys
Corn Club movement in the State. When
he was superintendent of education of
Holmes county in 1907, he organized the
first Boys Corn Club in Mississippi, and
the first Girls Improvement Club. From
that start there is today an organization
of over 1900 boys competing. 1t has
done more for the agricultural regenera-
ton of Mississippi than all other agencies
combined; it has done more to breed a
crop of expert agriculturalists; it has
done more to awaken an interest in sci.
entific agriculture than any other one
thing that has happened in Mississippi
since the war.

THAT EXTRA SESSION.
Not Probable That Governor Will Add
to Expense of State.


Jackson.-Gov. Noel has given no fur
Their intimation as to his intentions in
regard to the extra session of the legis-
lature, but those who profess to be able
to tell what he is going to do state that
he will issue a call for it just as soon
as the strike situation SINNERS down
a bit.
In view of the fact that in November
the State treasury will be called upon to
meet approximately $3s6,519.62 it has
not and will not have until the collec-
tons of taxes for January are made
and turned in on February 1, and the
further fact that maintaining q garrison
of soldiers at Fort McComb" and n
other at Water Valley is costing the
State considerably over 81 900 a day, it
is somewhat doubtful if the governor in
the present state of affairs will issue the
call and add another $4,000 or 100000
to the expense which seems to be piling
up rapidly.
1t is believed that he has about come
to the conclusion that the mex legisla-
ture will deal as fairly about the $10,500
interest on those State bonds which the
supreme court held was not a legal obi
cation on the State, but which the gov
ernor considers a moral obligation, as the
present one, and will content himself
with a ringing declaration in his message
to the next legislature to put the good
faith and credit of the State upon .
high ground and pay the sum.

WEEVILS, BUT HOGS ALSO.
Lefore County Is Prepared to Live at
Home.

j. ii. Mcneil of Greenwood is author
ity for the statement that while the
boil weevil exists in enough quantities
in Lefiore county to make that pest a
big factor in next years cotton crop, the
county is also quite well prepared for
the invasion. There are more hogs in
Lelore county than I have ever seen
before" said Mr.. Mcneil. "The weevils
this season did not make much of a
factor in the cotton crop of our county,
but they are now and will be a factor
next year. But our people are prepared
for it. Every section of the county has
hogs, and lots of them"

INSTALL SYRUP PLANTS.
The Growing of Sugar Cane Has Proven
Highly Profitable.

Decentralization are that the
State will have a number of syrup fac
tories next year. There are only one or
two in the State at present putting up
the pure can juice, notably at Brook
haven, and it is being swamped with Or
ders for the syrup and booking orders for
next year. One concern has ordered this
year 100000 gallons of the syrup. A
car of syrup is about 1000 gallons, and
is worth about $500.
1t has demonstrated to the farmers of
Lincoln and Copiah counties that the
growing of sugar cane for syrup pur-
poses is highly profitable, really more SO
than raising cotton and a much more
certain crop. A cane grower from near
Hattiesburg reports that he will make
twice as much on cane as on cotton,
and with less hal half the work and
worry. There are several syrup canning
factories projected for next season.
