Mississippi Matters
News of Interest Gathered from Over the State
for the Information of Our Readers
IS THERE A COMBIME7
Inquiry Being Made As to Low Price Of
Cotton Seed.

Cotton Seed.
Jackson.-Is there q trust among the
cotton seed crushers of Mississippi to
keep the price of cotton seed DOWN. That
is a question some people interested in
the market at Jackson are trying to
solve.
Last year, in October, cotton seed were
selling all the way from $2s to $35 a
ton at various points in Mississippi, and
the mills and their buyers were fighting
for them ven at those high prices.
This year, with the Mississippi crop
very short, the highest price recorded
has been $3.50 a ton, and the vendor of
cotton seed runs against the same price
all over the State at every point. Same
price, $3.50, and no bidders for any
higher price.
Some of the States law officers are
conducting a quiet Investigation and en-
%deavoring to find out just what the stat
us is, and if there is a trust agreement
there will be something doing when the
grand Jury meets, if the evidence car be
secured.
The meeting of the cotton crushers at
Jackson just before the opening of the
season and the close communion they
held with one another, coupled with the
subsequent low prices for seed, appear
significant to those who r studying
the proposition.

Jacksonville resignation of Prof. W.
H. Smith, elected this spring as president
of the new State Normal School, in pro-
cess of erection at Hattiesburg, was a
surprise. Prof. Smith states that his
heart is more in the rural school work,
improving the common schools Of Missis-
sippi, and he believes he will be OF nor
service to the State in that capacity than
at the head of the normal college.
If Prof. Smith never does another
thing to endear him to Mississippi, he
has done enough in starting the Boys
Corn Club movement in the State. When
he was superintendent Of education Of
Holmes county in 1907, he organized the
first Boys Corn Club in Mississippi, and
the first Girls Improvement Club. From
that start there is today an organization
Of over 1000 boys competing. It has
done more for the agricultural regenera-
ton Of Mississippi than all other agencies
combined; it has done more to breed a
-lop of expert agriculturalists; it has
y SA more to awaken an interest in sci
Ssea'k>' agriculture than any other one
th<e that has happened in Mississippi
since the war.

INSTALL SYRUP PLANTS.
che Growing of Sugar Cane Has Proven
Highly Profitable.

Decentralization are that the
State will have a number of syrup fac
tories next year. There are only one or
two in the State at present putting up
the pure can juice, notably at Brook
haven, and it is being swamped with or
ders for the syrup and booking orders for
next year. One concern has ordered this
year 100000 gallons of the syrup. A
ear of syrup is about 1000 gallons, and
is worth about $500.
1t has demonstrated to the farmers of
Lincoln and Copiah counties that the
growing of sugar cane for syrup pur-
poses is highly profitable, really more SO
than raising cotton and a much more
certain crop. A cane grower from near
Hattiesburg reports that he will make
twice as much on cane as on cotton,
and with less than half the work and
worry. There are several syrup canning
factories projected for next season.

THAT EXTRA SESSION.
Not Probable That Governor Will Add
to Expense of State.


Jackson.-Gov. Noel has given no fur
ther intimatiOn as to his intentions in
regard to the extra session of the legis-
~lature, but those who profess to be able
to tell what he is going to do state that
he will issue q call for it just IS soon
as the strike situation SINNERS down
q bit.
In view Of the fact that in November
the State treasury will be called upon to
meet approximately $3s6,519.62 it has
not and will not have until the collec-
tons of taxes for January are made
and turned in on February 1, and the
further fact that maintaining a garrison
Of soldiers at Sort McComb" and an
other at Water Valley is costing the
State considerably over $1,000 a day, It
is somewhat doubtful if the governor in
the present state of affairs will issue the
call and add another $4,000 OF 100000
to the expense which seems to be piling
up rapidly.
1t is believed that he has about come
to the conclusion that the next legisla-
ture will deal al fairly about the $1O,5oo
interest on those State bonds which the
supreme court held was not a legal obi
cation o n the State, but which the gov
ernor considers a moral obligation, as the
present one, and will content himself
with a ringing declaration in his message
to the next Legislature to put the good
faith and credit of the State upon q
high ground and pay the sum.

fight COURT COIL ssIONERS
Think Three Members & the Bench
suhicient-Msy hsa supreme
Court Judges Elective.

Jaekson.-From autheasls sources It IL
earned that a determined effort will be
MADE at the approaching legislative Ses-
sion to repeal the statute enacted two
years ago creating two supreme court
commissioner.
These positions are now held by Albert
II. Whitfield, former chief justice, and
Frank A. McLain, former member of con.
gress from the Sixth district, who were
appointed for nine year terms.
The constitutionailty Of the act was
seriously questioned at the legislative
session of 1910, but the supreme court
rendered an opinion to the effect that
the lawmakers had the right to create
the offices. For several years there had
been an agitation for the enlargement of
the supreme bench to five members, but
this could be accomplished only through
constitutional amendment, and the legis-
lature decided to create two commission.
ers, with practically all the powers OF
judges save the right to vote on de-
c%isions, and allow the next legislative
body to frame a constitutional amend
ment Oh the subject.
1t IS expected that an effort will be
made to provide the elective system for
supreme judges at the approaching SEES
sion, and ordinarily it could be expected
that such a measure would provide for
five judges, but some Of. the newly-elect'
ed lawmakers have ideas Of economy
roaming around in their heads and will
try to reduce the bench to the original
number.

While it is still a good ways of, if a

must be gotten under way by the next
legislature, and the Board of Trade be-
lieves the best celebration would be an
exposition showing the progress of the
State.
The details of the plan will be worked
out at the next meeting of the Board
of Trade, and the idea is to have some
thing really notable and worth while in
the way of an exposition.
