ROADS ABANDON NEW RATE
Carriers Thought to Believe Interstate
Commerce Commission Won't Stand
for Advance.

Meridian.-A tremendous victory has
been gained by the commercial bodies
of Mississippi and other states who en-
tered protest against the action of the
railroads in their efforts to put into effect
November /, 1910, the advanced rates,
which have been suspended numerous
times, in the last instance to March I,
1919.
Secretary Moore, of the Meridian
Board of Trade, announced that accord
ing to information received by him, the
roads had abandoned the raise under the
belief that the interstate commerce com
mission would not allow it, as the matter
is now before them.
The advanced rates affected both class
of commodies and were effective between
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michi'
gan, Indiana, Ohio, Western New York,
Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama
and points in Mississippi and Louisiana
The advance would have amounted to
five and ten per cent on nearly all
classes of commodities handled between
these states, with tremendous increased
revenue to the railroads.

TO DRILL FOR OIL.
Expert to Drill Wells at About Twelve
Points in the State.

EOlutS III INC 0tdtc.
Jackson.-The Statewide Oil and Min
eral Company has perfected organiza-
ton in this city with the avowed pur-
pose of drilling not less than twelve
wells in Mississippi with the hope of
striking oil or gas.
1t is announced that the first well
will be drilled at or near Jackson, and
operations will be commenced as soon as
machinery can be placed on the ground.
The company is chartered under the
laws of Arizona, the laws of that state
allowing broader latitude for enterprises
of this character, which are now re-
garded as a legitimate form of specula-
ton.
Hon. R. c. Lee, federal district at
torney, has been named as president
of the company, and Capt. John A.
Webb, chairman of the railroad commits
sion, as secretary. Charles Hill is the
general manager, and w. H. Drummett,
the expert geologist, who will locate the
wells to be drilled. Both of the last
named gentlemen have had several years
of experience in work of this character.

Jackson.-As the end of the admins
tration approaches it is a matter OF con-
siderable interest to know just how
many pardons have been issued in the
four years drawing to q close.
A compilation made in the office OF
the penitentiary board office about two
weeks ago gives the number of feionies
pardoned as being 800 to that date.
The misdemeanor record is also in
teresting, and there are 293 of them,
making total therefore of 653 par
dons issued thus far and the admins
tration has until January 10th to run.
Also the offenses for which the mis-
demeanor pardons were issued are in
teresting, and curious to relate, the
greatest number were issued to whiskey
sellers, than any other one or two or
three offenses.
One hundred and ffty-one pardons
were issued to "blind tigers" Assault

larceny 80, and carrying pistols 2S.

was attached three coaches, containing
about $50 sturdy farmers from the
Northwest, passed through jackson Sat-

west, particularly from Illinois, Iowa and
Nebraska. They are all thorough farm
ers, men who have come to this coun-
try from Holland, Germany, Sweden and
other countries. They are all interested

tensive advertising through the North.
Many of the farmers have already de-
cided to purchase farms in this state.
Some are already the owners of large
tracts. They are making the second trip
for the purpose of getting their farm
in condition to move their familes.

its affairs badly managed, bill will be

that the grand lodge expended the sum
of $3,7OO ON the funerals of Grand Mas
ter E. w. hampton and Grand Secre-

that the expenditures for these obse-
quies were nothing short of outrageous,
and that no authority existed for bury

badly mangled by the machinery, one
leg and one arm being broken, besides
internal injuries. Just how Hagmaier
came to fall into the mixer is not
known, as he was said to have been
alone in the building at the time. His
wife could give no possible explanation,
as Hagmaier was an experienced baker
and would naturally use care around
the machine. When discovered Hag.

returned from visit to Calhoun county,
in the interest of the rural school de-

cotton crop in that section, the boil
weevil not yet having reached there, but
the low price is worrying the growers to
some extent. A large corn crop was
made, and the farmers seem to be in fine
shape, according to his statement.
