COMMISSION ENJoINED.
YazOO and Mississippi Valley Railroad
the Plaintiff.

Jackson.-The railroad commission
found themselves served with notice OF
injunction, and thereby made defend
ants in one more suit. The plaintiff III
the case is the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley Railroad Company, and the bone
OF contention is IN order passed at the
last meeting Of the commission that the
aforesaid railroad company take steps
to provide better and more commo-
dious depot facilities at Owen, in the
county of Holmes, on the Durant-
Tchula branch
The bill of complaint specifies that
the present facilities at Owen are amply
adequate for all purposes, for both
freight and passengers, and the plaintiffs
are ready to go into court and demon
strate the fact.
There was quite a large delegation
from Charleston, Tallahatchie county,
before the commission to present their
claims for more adequate train service,
claiming that the population of from
1000 to 5000 people of Charleston and
its immediate environment entities it
to more frequent trains in and out.
They have a mixed train in during the
afternoon or evening, but think they
are entitled to a forenoon train in
from either Memphis or Tutwiler. Sev-
eral prominet personages of Charleston
and Tallahatchie county gave testimony
as to the need of this improved SER
vice. As representing the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroad, General
Agent John G. Jones was on hand with
documents and statistics to indicate
that the Char%lestonians are doing pref
ty well in the matter of train service,
and giving some practical views as to
what putting in effect of such schedule
as demanded would bring about in con-
nection with existing arrangements and
schedules.

St. Louis Pays the Limit for Mississippi
Beeves.
Jackson.-That the livestock industry
is a paying proposition is demonstrated
by the fact that during the past week
Mississippi cattle brought the highest
price of any sold in st. Louis. The cat
tie were the property of w. S. Lowell, OF
Birmingham, receiver for the bankrupt
firm of Knight, Yancey & Co., but they
were raised on his Mississippi plantation
near Palmyra. The cattle not only
brought the best price OF the week, but
the highest price for the entire season.
Mr.. Lowell shipped 40 head of Here
ford beef cattle from his Mississippi
farm to st. Louis, and they brought $6.25
per hundred.
Mississippi also established another
record during the week, shipping her first
consignment of homemade lard from
home-raised pork. This was done by the
Natchez Packing Plant and the lard was
consigned to Liverpool, England.
This is the first export shipment from
the plant, which began operations in Jan
uary, and it is also the first shipment of
its kind in the history of the state. The
car contained rs tierces of prime steam
lard and will go direct to New York to
be transferred to steamship.

Death Rate in Delta.

Jacksonville keeping of statistics Ga
health is a new thing in Mississippi, but
in Coahoama county, one of the most
progressive of the Delta counties, a COM
plete record was kept last year, and
which has been made public in a bulletin
issued by the state board of health. The
report shows a total death rate per 1000
inhabitants of only 1914 per cent, which
is a refutation in itself that the Missis-
sippi delta is not a healthy place in
which to live. One startling feature dis
closed by the report is the alarming prev
alence of tuberculosis among negroes,
there having been reported 220 cases
among this race with so deaths-a death
rate of 227.2 per thousand.
