A BILLION DOLLAR
INDUSTRY.
Estimated Value OF Country's
Poultry; and Egg Pro
duct for 1911.

A billion dollars is set down as
the value of the poultry and egg
products of the United States for
the present year, as estimated by
the 1911 catalogue of an incubat-
or company.
The United States census of
1900 gave the value Of poultry
and eggs at $3.50, ,686'429. In 1905.
according to the ninth annual re.
port of Secretary Wilson of the
Department Of Agriculture, po-
ultry products had "climbed to
place more than half billion
dollars in value, - so that the
farmers hen now competed with
wheat for precedence; while at a
banquet given by the Washington
Poultry Association in December,
1909, Secretary Wilson said that
"the poultry and egg products of
the United States ir 1908 amount
ed to S7OO,OOO,OOO and were Sc
cond only to the corn crop in
value"
The catalogue goes on to show
that totals supplied by the Gov
ernment show that in 1905, 1906
and 1907. the increase was 80 per
cent more than from 1900 to 1904,
and "if this rate of more rapid
increase Was kept up for l9Oo.
| 1909 and 1910, as no doubt it was,
then it is clear that in 1911 we
shall have a billion-dollar poultry
industry, and with a good marg-
in to spare"
Regular poultry courses are
now taught at more than 20
agricultural colleges. of the Unit
ed States and'Canada, and gradu'
ates IN poultry husbandry are
now receiving displomas at the
rate of several thousand each
year, These graduates are re-
turning to the farms of the CO.
untrv to raise more and better
poultry by improved methods, or
they are taking places as prof
essional poultrymcn, or starting
plants of their own.-Exchange.

Something More About the
Damnable Secret Caucus.
In Vicksburg POstl

yesterday. Thewriter evidently
knows a great deal about the
corrupt secret caucus of the Miss
issippl Legislature which was
held in jackson in the early part
of 1910. Although an Alexand-
er man, he is telling the whole
truth in regard to events and
happenings as he saw them He
criticises Mr.. Alexander for not
exposing the trickery of the abo-
minable secret caucus, and also
says that Governor Noel is the
meanest man unhung, or words
to that effect. His suggestion
that the next Legislature should
make a thorough Investigation
of all the deviltry at Jackson
during the secret caucus, is ex-
cellent. Here follows the letter
which will we'll repay peruaal:
[ ask for enough space in your
paper to present some important
facts to the people of Mississippi.
In writing what I have to say |
will use plain language, but [
will not indulge in any vitupera-
ton or abuse.
To begin with, [ will first ex-
plain why [ am writing this
letter. [ am writing it because |
believe the truth should be known
in this political crisis.
Before proceeding further [
wish to state that [ am support
ter of Hon. G. III. Alexander for
United States Senator. [ am Op-
posed to Vardaman because |
think he is wrong in his veiws
and politics, or many of them
I am also against Percy, and /
do not think greater calamity
could befall the State than to re-
elect him to the Senate. | am
against Percy because he was, in
my opinion. elected by unfair
means, and [ am opposed to
"Lorimerizing" Mississippi.
Having made these prelimin.
ary remarks I will now proceed
to give the facts which [ wish to
relate to people of Mississippi:
I saw some of the work of the
sercret caucus at Jackson during
the session of the Legislature in
1910. My business called NE to
jackson three times while the
Legislature was in session, once
early in January, again the lat
ter part of January and third
time about the middle Of Feb
ruary. When [ first went to
jackson the secret caucus had
just begun operations. Being a
. Mississippian, [ naturally felt
/. interested in the contest and
watched everything closely,
circulating among the members
!. of the Legislature and around
!. the different Senatorial head,
q uuarters at night after finished my
days business. am personally
acquainted with several members
! of the Legislature and talked
with them about the Senatorial
situation. On my first trip to
Jackson hunted up two men,
hers of the Legislature with
] whom [ was acquainted and found
them occupying modest rooms in
nriyate boarding houses They
told me that Jackson was a high
Snlace in which to live. and that
sthey could not afford to pay the
nrices demanded for rooms and
meals at the hotels. Later or
during the month, when | return
ED TO jackson, I found these
lsame members of the Legislature

why are you so much stuck
on Percy?" I asked. Because" I"
he replied, Percy is the ablest
man in the whole bunch. We
are doing our best to help elect
him. We have sent John Allen
TO jackson to assist John d. Nc
Innis, our other representative
in the work. McInnis says John
IS doing noble work and the out,
look is good for Percy in the
end. We have score to settle
with Vardaman for vetoing the
Mobile and Ohio merger bill"
1 did not discuss the matter
further, seeing that it would be
waste of breath. [ left the office,
wondering if these railroad offic.
ials realized that they were COM
hitting wrong in using the
money of the stockholders of the
Railroad Company in political
contest.
A few days after my trip to
Mobile [ had occasion to go to
New Orleans on business, and
while there [ called at the offices
of the Queen and Crescent Rail
road. In some way the Mississ-
ippi Senatorial question was
mentioned and I remarked that
| had recently been up to Jack
son. One of the officials, who
is at the head of the road said
Il hope Percy will beat the stuff
ing out of Vardaman.'I II remark
ed: Il hope Alexander will be
elected" To which he replied:
Il don't know anything about
Alexander; we re for Percy here
and he ought to win." I did not
pursue the conversation any fur
ther. 1t was plain to me that
the railroad influence was being
used for Percy for all it was
worth.
In February I returned to
jackson, and the night [ arrived
Speaker Street was brought into
the race. ] was in the lobby Of
the House end of the Capitol just
before the caucus convened,
when [ heard John d. McInnis,
of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, i,

night. [ have worked hard to
get him in the contest, and now
it S cinch that he will pull sew
eral votes away from Vardaman.
That will make it easier for
Percy" This again impressed
me with the potent railroad in
fuence. Col. Street, [ know, is
an excellent gentleman. I have
often wondered if he knows that
it was the railroad infuense that
| brought pressure on him to ent-
er the race, and that he was
used as a stalking horse to help
Percy.
l see the newspapers have
been publishing great deal
about John M. Aliens speeches
in which he charges Vardaman
with riding on a railroad pass
and in which he calls on Varda.

a private house to the hotel he
replied: This aint costing me
nything, It's coming out of

then went to say that he intend
ed to vote for Percy on the rema-
ming ballots. [ expressed as
tonishment at this expenditure Of
money and he answered ooh.
hell, other are dong it; Why
shouldn't I do it?' [ reminded
him OF the fact that he had pro
missed me to vote for Alexander.
and he answered.: Your friend
| Alexander aint worth a cuss. He
won't be in the race much long
er. Us Percy folks will push
him off the track" At this juno
ture John M. Allen came up. We
were talking in the lobby of the
Edwards House. Allen heard the
latter part Of the conversation
about Alexander and chimed in:
No, Alex won't be in it much
longer. We're going to push
him off the track and put Percy
over the plate"
"How will you do it 20 [ ask
ed. "Walt and see," he replied.
The next night [ met my other
legislative friend. referred to
above. He, too had moved to
the Edwards House. AS [ had
been over to Vicksburg that day
and was unable to secure a room,
my friend invited me to share
his room with him, which offer |
accepted. When we went up to
the room to retire my friend
pulled out big roll Of money
and counted it. 'Looks like you
We struck it rich,' [ remarked
to him. Yes he replied, Il
won this money from John Allen
and a bunch of Percy fellows in
a game Of poker" [ expressed
surprise, whereupon he said:
"Oh, them Percy fellows amt
bad. [ am for Percy now" On
my previous visit to Jackson my
friend told me he would support
Alexander, and when I reminded
him of it he said:
Alexander don't stand the
ghost of a show IN this fight. The
Percy people have the money
and they are going to win. See
ing it was useless, L did not
argue with him any further.
The next morning. when [ went
to pay my bill at the Edwards
House prior to taking a train. a
man who was pointed out to me
as Mr.. Percy's campaign manag-
er, stepped up to the desk in
front of me aud told the clerk or
| bookkeeper to charge the rooms
occupied by four members of the
Legislature, whom he named, to
him and the clerk replied that he
would do so.
A day or.so afterward my bus
mess called me to Mobile. and
when I reached this city [ called
at the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
offices to look after some trans
portation matters. While [ was
in the building, some of the rail-
road officials. learning that had

toned me about the Senatorial

in retiring. When the train re-
ached, Tupelo, Miss, the home
of Mr.. Allen, he boarded the train
and came into the sleeper occu-
pied by me. In my presence he
pulled out his railrood passes and
told the conductor he was going
to Washington. The conductor
| took down the numbers and Mr..
Allen retired for the night. Mr..
Allen went ON through to Wash
ington and | saw him get off the
train. He was at that time a
member of the House of Represen
tatives and the Mississippi law
prohibiting State officials from
using passes was then IN force.
Mr.. Allen may attempt to get
out of this by claiming that he
was a Federal official. 1t is true
that he was a Federal official,
but he was likewise State offic-
ial and held a commission issued
by the State of Mississippi. If
1t is wrong for a Governor to
use a pass it is equally wrong
for a member of Congress to ac-
cept passes from railroads.
Mr.. Allen has called on other
people to show their books, and
now it is time for him to show
his books. 1t is also time for
the railroads to show their book.
The Edwards House at Jackson
should also be made to show it's
books, and Percy's campaign
manager ought to come across
with his books.

tions. | am of the belief that Mr..

support. When [ was in Jack

judgement it was the railroad in
fuence that stemmed the tide

ment. if Mr.. Alexander, in open
ing his campaign before the peo-
pie, had exposed the trickery
and rottenness of the secret eau
Gus, his chances would have been
greatly improved in the primary.
In closing I wish to fire a part
ing shot at Gov. Noel. In my
judgementhe is the worst Govern
or the State has had since the
days of reconstruction. Every,
where I have been in the State I
have heard the people denounc-
