Reduce the Acreage.

The plan which seems to be
most popular and feasible to
help the farmer out of his pres
ent predicament and to prevent
q repetition next year, is to re-
duce the acreage. This plan
was adopted a few days ago by
a large representative gathering
of farmers and business men in
New Orleans.
The plan, briefly stated is that
farmers al over the South be
asked to reduce their cotton
acreage by at least 25 per cent.
A pledge to this effect is signed
by each farmer. 1t is proposed
to have a county organization
in each county which shall take
active and immediate steps to
secure the signature of every
farmer to such a pledge.
This is a good plan for present
relief, but it will not accomplish
permanent benefits unless ad-
hered to wear after year If the
farmers will reduce their acre
age 25 per cent. next year, it
will help the price of the present
crop, very little Of which, how
ever, we fear, is in the hands of
armers. It is certain that
,lan will not help those who
help most, for they have
The reduction in acreage
- also help prices next year,
what about the year after?

prices advance 12 to Il cents
next fall, will it not stimulate
the farmers to increase the fol-
lowing year, and, with reasona-
bic conditions, bring about the
same state of affairs that now
exist2
The thing for the farmers to
do, it seems to US, is 70 begin
now not only to reduce their
acreage, but to settle upon SOM
wise and definite plan ty which
they can holq cotton,

have a centra agency

Thirty Pardoned in One Day.

The daily papers last Sunday
morning announced that on the
day before, Gov. Blease granted
pardons and paroles (Which
means pardoned on condition.
to thirty prisoners in the peni-
tentiarv and jails of the State.
From The State, of the oath,
the following is taken:
Briefly stated, there were IL
life prisoners freed. Nine OF
these prisoners We're convicted
|of murder. One was convicted
on the charge of burglary and
larceny, and the other on the
charge of arson. Seven were
convicted on the charge Of man
slaughter, the sentences ranging
from 5 to 26 years. Several had
been convicted on minor charg-
es, and one was pardoned to re-
store citizenship.
| Of the eleven lifetime prison
ers, Samuel Reep, the Chester
county wife slayer, is the most
known. He was convicted in
| November, 1899, for killing his
Young wife while she slept IN
his home. The case at that
time attracted a great deal of
attention, and public sentiment
was against the man. He has
served twelve years Of a life
term. The parole was granted
during good behavior.
The governor assumed office
January II, and slice that time
he has granted clemency in 3lS
cases-137 pardons and l51 pa
paroles.
Taking the estimate of statis-
ticians of $500 for a conviction.
this means that the feature of
! the clemency record has cost
South Carolina Sl5S, 500.
The governor, soon after en-
tering office, dispensed with the
pardon board, and announced
that in the future he would de-
eide all cases Of clemency.
Among those pardoned were
two from this county-Frank
bailey and W. L. Manly.
/ Frank Bailey was convicted
September 1886, before Judge
Hudson, of burglary and larce-
ny. The original record in the
Clerks office could not be found

port of the Mobile & Ohio rail-
road, covering result of oper-
ations for the year ended June
80, just issued, President Fin
ley says in behalf of the direct
ors: The gross revenue for the
year was greater than for any
year in its history. The net op-
Grating income was somewhat
adversely affected by increased
wage scales. There was a ma
terial increase in the products of
agriculture handled during the
year, due mainly to cotton and
its products There was also an
increase in traffic from products
of animals and mines, and from
manufactures and miscellaneous
goods. Tnele was a slight de-
crease in traffic from the prod
ucts of forests. Probably the
most important addition to the
business Of the company for the
year came from its export and
import business via the port of
Mobile.
The passenger and miscellan-
eous business for the past year
has shown gratifying increase;
the pa SIS enger business
having been greater than for any
other year in the history of the
company. Improved facilities
now under construction at Mo-
bile will be completed about jan
uary l, 1912, when the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad company will be in
position to offer ships berthing
at its docks as great dispatch as
that offered by any other port
upon the Gulf OF Mexico.

Resolutions of Respect.

At a meeting of the Tupelo
Bar last Friday, the following
resolutions upon the death OF
Judge E. O. Sykes were unan-
imously adopted:
Your Committee on Resolutions
appointed at a meeting of Tupeio
Bar, would respectfully reports:
1t sa1dens our hearts to hear
of the death of Hon. E. O. Sykes,
late Judge of this Judicial DIS
trict. Some of us have been as
sociated with him for many
years as lawyer and friend. For
to know him was to love him.
We took note of him as a lawyer
and citizen for years before he
was clothed with the judicial err
mine, and his observance of the
rules of legal ethics and his bear
ing, both as a lawyer and citizen,
was such as to attract men of
honor and integrity to him and
them to him with hooks of steel.
When advanced to the bench.
he carried with him those kind
and lovable qualities which had
characterized him in private life.
and no Judge who has preceded
him on the bench has exceeded
him in kindly consideration to
the rights of all, and especially
in little kindly attentions to those
who were shrinking and unused
to the court house, and who were
fearful of the judial power. The
poorest and most insignificant
was never turned away without
careful investigation and consid-

make the d fident and shrinking
feel at ease.

his judgment and conscience die
tated without fear or favor. We
mourn his loss; we scatter fow-
ers over his last resting place
and drop the tear of sorrow be
cause Of his absence from US; we
cherish his memory; his image
is fresh in our minds and dear to
our hearts. Therefore resolved:
1st. That in the death of Judge
Sykes the country has lost an
able and upright judge and law
yer, a soldier without reproach,
gallant and chivalrous. and the
old soldier a friend true and
tried, and the state a citizen
without reproach and the COM
mon people tender. loving
friend. whose heart was ever
touched by their wants.
End. That we extend to the
family and friends of Judge
Sykes our heartfelt sympathy
and coincidence on account OF
theil great loss-The loss of the
loved and honored.
3rd. That a cony of the pro-
ceedings be spread upon the min

When the brick masons finish
ed work on the new Young Men S
Christian Association last Satur-
day evening they had completed
the brick work up to the first
floor and the first three days of
this week were spent in raising
the heavy steel girders over the
gymnasium and in laying the floor
ioists. Work of laying brick
was started for the second and
last floor the latter part Of the
week and it is expected that
another two weeks will see the
brick and stone work practically
completed. The work has been
DELAYED several times on account
of material, circuses and rainy
weather, but the building should
be ready for occupancy by the
first day of December.
While the structure is not quite
half done, the larger portion of
the tedius work has been COM
pleted and Mr.. Joe Angle, under
whose supervision the inside car
nenter work will be done, prom
ises to put the necessary force of
men at work to speedily COM
plete it once the building is turn
ed over to him. Practically all
the material is on the grounds for
the completion of the outside
and with sufficient force of
brick masons the second story
should be raised rapidly,
