P~rizewinner In Corn Contest There

Jackson.-Iowa is regarded, and just
iy so, as a great corn producing State.
They hold an annual corn show out
there every year, and in the compcti-
ton this year for the largest yield OF
cc-n per acre the prize was awarded,
out of ninety contestants. to the man
who raised ~ bushels to the acre!
And they think that is some corn IN
Iowa! Why, there were 0 corn club
boys in Mississippi who made over 100
bneshels per acre. The boy who won
the prize for the State championship
raised 224 bushels. There are many
farmer in Mississippi who nave caught
the method, and are making regularly
from rs to 100 bushels per acre. There
were between 0 and 600 corn club boys
who made between IS and 100 bushels OF
corn per acre and it was such a small
yield that they did not dream of com
peting for prizes on such a pitiful show
ing.

MAINE BLOWN up !.
FROM THE OUTSIDE
JOINT ARMY AND NAVY BOARD HAS
REACHED FINDING.
Report Will Differ From That Made by
Sampson Board in Locating Point
of Explosion.

Havana.-The battleship Maine was
blown up from the outside. This will be
the finding of the joint army and navy
board of inspection, which is now III
session here, ard whose verdict is eX-
pected to end for all time the bitter
controversy which has been carried on
for thirteen years over the disaster in
Havana harbor. The report of the joint
board will not be made public until it
passes through the hands of the secre-
tary of the navy, George Won L. Meyer,
to whom it will be submitted when the
members of the Vreeland board reach
Washington next week. The members
are all extremely ~reticnt regarding their
discoveries in and around the wreck, but
it is safe to say that the principal find
ings of the Sampson board of 1898 will
be upheld.
Nothing could be more thorough than
the inspection which has beer made by
navy men since their arrival here last
Monday. They have donned overalls,
rubber boots and caps, and have mucked
around in the thin mud, coa dust and
clay which still cover important plates.
Although the reports of the divers,
which were the principal evidence before
the Sampson board, have proved singu-
larly accurate, there have been surprises
amounting almost to shocks at the reve-
~lations of the wreck itself. The Sampson
board reported that the battleship was

WORKING ON HIS MESSAGE
GOVERNOR IS CONFRONTED WITH
A LARGE TASK.
Will Set Forth a Complete Review OF
Administration During Past
Two Years.

.JacEson.-Gov. Eo.l is collecting
data from the various departments OF
the State government preparatory to
Legislature.
The lawmakers will convene here on
Monday, January 4, and the Governors
message will be sent in as soon as
the two houses are organized and ready
Tor business. Owing to the fact that
both bodies must elect officers and sew
erat spirited contests are promised, 1T
is likely that the message will not be
read unit Tuesday afternoon, IAN
uary 5.
Gov. Noel will be in office twelve
owing to a peculiar provision OF the
code which does not permit his term
TO end at the same time as other State
officials. The Lieutenant Governor Will
also serve until Governor-eicct Brewer
takes the oath of office.
All measures passed during the first
two weeks of the session will there
fore go to the present Governor Tor
approval. However, the l~aWmaklng
body is generally in j do-nothing state
during the first fortnight of the ses-
sion, the only bill of Importance passed
being that carrying appropriation to
pay the mileage and per diem o. mem
berS.
Gov. Noel's message will probably be
a doenment of considerable length, en-
bodying a large number of recommends
tions for needed changes in the %statutes
and new laws, together with a com
plete review OF his administration dur
ing the past two years.

SEED PRICES ARE SOARING.
Seed Is Selling From Eighteen to
TWENTY-FIVE Dollars a Ton.

Jackson.-There was considerable talk
here a few weeks back to the effect
that there was a cotton seed trust
in Mississippi.
The price was $40 a ton. 1t opened
that way and sagged a bit. 1t went
down wherever seed could be bought
any cheaper, and never got above SIS.
Inasmuch as last year it went as high
as S32 a ton, there was much grumb-
ling among the farmers.
Now all of a sudden the change has
come and the grower is getting more
change for his seed. The buyers nave
walked mp to the fact that the crop in
Mississippi is woefully short, and are
in n lively scramble for seed.
Prices are ranging all the way from
SIS to S25 for seed and will probably
20 higher by the end of the year. The
crop is small and the mills are in a
wild scramble to get what they can
and keep running.

BANKERS DISCUSS
COTTON BILLS IADlNG
NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN Until
NEXT YEARS MEETING.
New Orleans Man Wants Railroads HELD
Responsible for Acts of Their
Agents.

New Orleans.-After a long drawn-out
debate. the members of the American
Bankers Association in convention here
re-referred the report of the bills of lad
ing committee back to the committee for
further consideration. The report APP
proved the central bureau plan for the
valuation of cotton bills of lading,
Southern bankers, cotton men and ex-
changes in convention here recently
condemned in a set of resolutions.
The convention instructed the commit
tee to consider resolutions by Sol Wex-
Ter of this city, chairman of the bills
of lading committee of the New Or
of the report. The motion also provided
that Mr.. Wexler be made a member Of
the bills of lading committee in addition
to another Southern banker to be Sc
lected.
The bills of lading committee was in
structed not to take any action binding
the American Bankers Association to
any certain plan, and that no report was
to be made until the 1912 meeting of the
tOiN eHlIcH. HE ~ va tdNcH upOu
the motion of d. H. Pierson of New
York City, which, however. was not car
ried without considerable opposition
and debate.
Mr.. Wexler, in reviewing the entire
bills of lading question, stated that the
bureau plan had been vigorously opposed
by the cotton exchanges of Houston,
Memphis, Savannah, Vicksburg, Austin
and other organizations, giving the rea-
son that it singled out cotton from the
other vast commodities shipped abroad
and that it cast a stigma upon the honest
cotton dealers of a large section of the
country.
what we are mostly concerned in is
making the railroads responsible for the
scts of their agents. said Mr.. Wexler.

QUANTITY OF BOOZE
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
PRODUCTION OF LIQUORS WAS
ENORMOUS.
Revenue Receipts Last Year Great
est in History. e

Washington.-The annual report Of
Royal f. Cabell, commissioner of inter
nal revenue, given out here makes sew
eral startling declarations.
All records were broken in the past
fiscal year in the production of alcoholic
liquors.
The smoking of opium is a widespread
vice i'll this country and opium Joints
exist in every city of considerable size.
The double system of taxing oleomar-
gerine is corrupting grocers and gross
frauds are being perpetrated on the
butter-buying public.
The internal revenue receipts last year
were $322,526,299, the greatest in the
history of the government.
Corporations making returns under
the new corporation tax law numbered
27O,202 with an aggregate capital of
s67, ss6,43o,519. The aggregate net in
come to the stockholders was $3,250,642.
The years production of distilled spir-
it's amounted to 175,4O2,395 gallons,
nearly 100000 gallons more than in
the previous banner year, 1907. The
production of beer, ale, ETC., mount to
oo,Soi,ooI DaTieiS, nearly f,ooo,ooo odd-
rels more han in the previous record
year,, 1910.
The amount of liquor held in bonded
warehouses for ripening now reaches the
norm total of 24e,a79,346 gallons.
To remedy the oleomargerine situation
Mr.. Cabell suggests that fraud would be
wiped out if a single standard of taxa
ton for the colored and uncolored prod
uct be established, and if the manufac-
turers be required to put their product in
small sealed packages instead of selling
