AMENDMENT TO OR
GANIC LAW BEFORE
NEXT LEGISLA-
TURE.

The constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the election of circuit judges
and chancellors by the people will be
brought before the Legislature at its
approaching session for insertion in the
organic law, having been adopted at
the general election in November of
last year.
Immediately following the insertion
of the elective judiciary clause, or be-
fore it can be placed in operation,
legal proceedings will be instituted to
test it's constitutionality, the contention
being set up that the amendment was
not submitted in proper form; that two
separate and distinct propositions were
submitted in the form of one amend
ment.
While the Legislature cannot take
cognizance of the legal question raised,
it being the duty of that body to insert
the measure as a part of the organic
law upon proper showing that it was
adopted by the required majority, a
spirited wrangle in the courts is GER
tain.
Ex-Chigf Justice J. A. P. Campbell,
recognized as perhaps the foremost
legal authority in the State, is of the
opinion that the amendment was not
submitted in proper form, and is, there
fore, void; that the form of this amend
ment is violatiye of sec ton 273 of the
constitution providing that, "if more
than one amendment is submitted at
one time, they shall be submitted in

such mannor and form that the people
may vote for and against each amend
ment separately; that it was not done
in this case, for instance, some voters
might be willing to have circuit judges
elected by the people, but were op-
posed to the election of ehancellors, or
vice versa.
That the Legislature cannot take cog
nizance of the question raised when the
amendments come up for insertion in
the constitution is clearly settled by the
case of State VS.. Powell, 77th Mise,
wherein it was held that, whether the
submission to the people of an amends
ment to the constitution be legal or IL
legal, it is judicial question, and not .

RAPID GROWTH Of

Company's Stock is Being
Eagerly Bought Up. "A
Home Company to Keep
Mississippi Money at

Gulfport, Miss, Aug. &c. : The Gulf
Coast Life Insurance Company, with its
home office in Gulfport, Miss, is hay-
ing an enormous sale of it's stock.
Only within the last few weeks has
there been any great effort to place this
stock among local people, and now,
after brief campaign, there have been
over sixty people in the City of Gulf
port who believe in the organic alton of
such company here at home and have
invested very literally in the stock of
the Gulf Coast Life Insurance Com
pany, which shows that the company
has standing at home and also the
confidence of the people. A combina-
ton of men and money is indispensa-
BILE to the success of any great enter
prise. Money alone is a dead thing.
Men without money may dream and
hope, and even plan great things, but
only plans that are wisely formed and
vigorously executed live, and men, no
matter how wise they be, must have
money to build and perpetuate great in
stitutions.. The Gulf Coast Life Insu-
rance Company has both men and
money. 1t has back of it in its local
support the combined power of money,
human intelligence and corporation.
Its foundations have been laid deep and
wide and strong. They rest upon the
bedrock of Mississippi's best CITIZEN

life insurance as enunciated by the

years stable manure covers 20 acres

The family garden. a map Of which
accompanies this article, is about one
acre. On IL are raised all the vege-
tables used by the family throughout
the year, and il usually brings in
about 5000 a year from products sold
In a nearby town. The principal
money crops from the garden are
kale, spinach, winter onions, toma-
toes and cantaloupes. Berries and
grapes from the garden supply the

The soil of the garden has been
carefully studied and kept up in fer.
tillty to a point far above that of the
rest OF the farm. One reason for that
il, OF course, the fact that a larger
profit is made from IL than from any
other acre in the farm; also IL needs
special care because as rapid vas one
row of early stun natures a later
variety is planted there.
Special attention is given TO the
care of work horses. Every evening
the shoulders of the horses are bath
cd in cold water. At noon in summer
the laborers are given an extra hall
hour to unharness and reharness the
horses, which assures more careful
treatment, and as result these
horses do not know what sore
shoulders are.

The first thing the city man did af-
ter setting foot on his Shenandoah
valley farm was to think out the gen.
eral management of the place. he
laid out the different fields in such
way as to utilize all space possible.
Even the roadway through the farm
was sown In grass seed, and except
in the wagon tracks something was
harvested by every foot OF ground.
He reserved the land nearest the
house for an acre garden; also the
orchard and wood lot was about the
home, giving plenty OF shade and pic
turesque surroundings.
The general crop history OF each
field may be worked out from the fol.
lowing system of rotation: Corn,
wheat. grass for hay, pasture, aud
then back to corn: sometimes two
wheat crops followed each other in
the same field. No great crops as
measured by yield per acre were har-
vested, but each field paid fair profit
each year. In 1892 the profit per acre
was $500; 16 years later II had grown
to 1898 per acre, which included
handsome increases in value OF live
stock marketed.
A portion OF the farm has always
been given over to the live stock.
changing each year. This enabled tie
farmer to turn his corn. hay, ETC., in

angles.
He early planted an orchard Of 10
acres: now II is intended TO Increase
this to 100 acres. Only last year lie
sold 500 barrels OF apples at $40 a
barrel. During the first six or seven
years OF the orchards growing il IVES

seeded to grass and clover and used
for pasture.
