roMeloeEE IMPROVEMENT.

The convention of the Tom
bigbee River Improvement Asso-
citation held at Columbus the
past week was a successful meet
ing of business men determined
to arouse an interest in river
traffic.
The delegates to the conyen-
ton were men prominent in the
various counties through which
the river traverses, and their
combined efforts will be directed
towards securing recognition OF
their rights to demand that the
waterway traversing so fertile a
section should be improved.
At one time the Tombigbee
river was the only means by
which the great cotton crop rails
ed in this section found its way
to market. Only since the rail
roads have entered has this cheap
transportation been denied the
shipping public.
The Federal government has
turned a deaf ear to the appeals
for improvement of most OF our
waterways in the South, and the
maintenance of our rivers for
commercial purposes.
1t is not a chimerical scheme
to discuss turning the waters OF
the Tennessee river through Bear
creek, and a short canal into the
Tombigbee, and if such resour-
ces for cheap transportation were
in the North, the government
would consider them available
and appropriations furnished to
make such a project a success.
The Mississippi river will soon
be connected with the Great
Lakes, the work being done by
the State of Illinois, and the
Tennessee Valley should be con-
nectad by a water route with the
Gulf of Mexico.

Amory appointment last week.
AS it was Saturday. the mer-
chants busy day, the assembly
consisted chiefly of farmers, who
gave the distinguished orator an
enthusiastic reception. His
speech was regarded by all as
one of the ablest efforts of his
life, and served to 'let the bles-
sed sunshine in" on many shady
phases of the Vardaman cam
paign. The speech came at op-
perfume time and place, for hum

Nh. ALIENS come BACK.

In the report Of John NJ. AL
lens address the past week at
Meridian, the correspondent Of
the great dailies who reported
his speech had the following to
say Of Mr.. Allen:
"A new factor entered Missis-
sippi's senatorial campaign last
night when Private John Al
len, the famous Tupelo states
man and humorist, made his mai
den speech here in behalf of
Senator Leroy Percy. It was
the first political address that
the celebrated wit Of congress
has delivered during the past
twelve years, and his come back
was a complete success. Despite
the weight Of advancing years,
he was in splendid form, his
voice was strong and resonant,
and he has lost none of his pow
err to sway and charm an audi
ence at will. His address was a
masterpiece of irresistible humor,
good-natured ridicule, whitening
sarcasm and biting satire"

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

In an opinion handed down by
the Supreme Court Monday the
validity Of the Swamp Land
drainage bonds which have been
issued by districts in various
counties of the state was estab-
lished. The rights of the COM
missioners to issue such bonds
was attacked by a citizen OF
Leflore county, and the case ap-
pealed from a decision of the
courts sustaining the commits
sioners. The Supreme Court
Monday affirmed the judgment
of the lower court.
This opinion will prove of great
advantage to owners of swamp
lands that need drainage. This
drainage can only be secured
through the formation of dis
tricts. Frequently an owner OF
only a small tract of land can
block the improvement of a great
section by refusing to join with
his neighbors in cutting the nee
essary channels. Under the
drainage Act districts can be
formed and a muzzle placed on
the obstinate land owner and I'M
provements made regardless OF
his opposition. 1t is a wise stat
ue, and it's validity being estab-
lished beyond question, it will be
put in operation more frequently
than heretofore.
The great value of our swamp
lands when properly drained is
being realized all over the state
and many thousands of acres are
being brought into cultivation
each year.
Swamp land bonds will now
find ready sale at a low rate OF
interest and the real estate val
ues in the state will be increased
each year by the reclamation of
lands that have been of no value
since the timber was cut off years
ago.

The latest revelation touching
upon MI. Vardaman's record is
the disclosure Of the payment il
legally to the Mississippi Bank
& Trust Co., in 1905, of$2O98. As,
and to the Equitable Life Insur-
ance Co., 1906, Of S1740. 80, max
ing a total of illegal payments to
these companies of $3838. 70,
These transactions came about
through an act of the legislature
authorizing Governor Vardaman
to borrow $500. 900. 90 to meet
certain Indebtedness Of the state.
The Act authorized only the
payment of 5 per cent interest,
but Mr.. Vardaman in issuing the
notes dated them the first OF
May when they should have been
dated July and August, compel
ling the state to pay two months
interest before a dollar of the
money was received. This was a
very bad business transaction to
say the least of it, and Mr.. Var
daman nor his friends can offer
any explanation for the trans
action.

BUSINESS NOTICE.

From and after this date the
Journal will be an all home print.
We have contemplated this step
some time, and now we begin
the publication of a paper gotten
out entirely in our own office.
The demands upon our columns
have grown each year, and it is
necessary to provide more space
to accommodate our growing
business. We have been handi-
capped for space, and the
advertising department and our
news columns have been c~urtailed
to the detriment of the paper,
The Journal has purchased the
new Cranston news press, along
with other material, of the Tu-
pelo Tribune, and the office is
improved by these purchases.
The change of press necessitates
the change to a six column, eight
page paper. and as soon as our
readers are accustomed to the
new paper, we feel sure that
they will like it.
With our additional space we
will be prepared to handle a con
siderable quantity Of local and
county news, and we want cur
friends to help us in furnishing
it to our readers.
The business Of the paper dur
ing the past year was the best
in the history of the paper under
it's present management. and
with rnore time devoted to it we
feel that we can come nearer
satisfying our patrons and SUBJ
scribers.

Governor Woodrow Wilson has
just completed a speech making
tour of the West and states upon
his return that the West is with
the democrats. Governor Will
son, at this time, is in the pub
lie eye more than any democrat
and is our strongest presidential
possibility. The conflict in the
convention, if there be one, will
be between Governor Harmon,
of Ohio, and Governor Wilson,
with the East favoring the lat
ter. There seems to be no doubt
now bat that Mr.. Taft will be
nominated by his party.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY

THE r

Tho first, railroad In the Unit,
ed States, In the modern sense
Of the term, was the 5aitomors
4 Ohio. One or two little roads
had been built before, but they
were mere tramways, operated
by force Of gravity or BY
stationary engines. Tho Bal
timore 4 Ohio was char
tered In 1897, and Ito oon-
structIon begun In 1s2S. the
first rail- being laid on July
4 Of that year. Tho work did
not 90 forward very fast, only
thirteen miles being open for
trafic In 1890. After that, how
ssvr, better progress was made,
and five years later 1875 miles
were In operation. The first
railroad built in England was the
Stockton q Darlington, twenty
five miles long. II was opened
for traffic In 1925; hence rail-
way transportation, in the mod
ern meaning Of the term, began
with this railway. "Tlme's
Telescope" a sort Of year book
published In London at the time,
said:
"The strides which steam Is
making in the economy OF the
country are more gigantic and
surprising than those who are
domesticated at a distance from
its Immediate operation imag-
inc. The c~apabiIity of the loco
motive engine to travel with
ease and safety, with a weight
Of ninety tons in its train, at
the rate Of eight miles an hour,
was exhibited to thousands at
tho late opening Of the Darling
ton & Stockton Railway, and Is
q striking proof Of the immense
progress Of this new power"

what did he do with the original
amount paid to him during the
time that interviewed?

In a joint debate between Hon
orable John M. Allen and Judge

agreed between the gentlemen
that the name of Bilbo would
not be used at any subsequent
