the boil weevil present.
The Corn club boys are coming to tell
how they grow one hundred and even
two hundred bushels of corn to the acra
in this state. Other farmers will tell
how they grow fifty bushels and forty
bushels of corn to the acre on larger

Mississippi farmers should not grow
forty bushels of corn to the acre in
stead of less than twenty as they now
do.

Jackson.-For the first time the taxes
in Mississippi in the delta section have
been reduced. At a meeting of the
Yazoo-M Mississippi Delta Board at Clarks-
dale, the levee taxes were ordered re-
dnced from mills to mills and the
acreage tax was reduced cents per acre.
The tax of a dollar bale on all cotton
raised in the delta section still stands,
but with the assistance of the United
States government in building revet-
ments and stopping the washes on bends,
it is hoped that by next year this tax
also can be reduced somewhat, as most
of the levees are permanent now and
the main cost will be in maintenance.
Some of the counties back from the
water front will have q further reduc
tion.

PAcKERY BROOM STOCK RAISING.
$4,000 Head Cattle Found Not on Adams
County Assessment Rolls.

Natchez-The board of supervisors
stirred up something when they discov-
cred that $4,000 head of cattle and q
large number of hogs had not been
placed on the assessment rolls in &C.
cordance with the law regulating such
matters. The total value Of the cattle
and hogs to be added by the additional
assessment will be more than $780,
900. The largest number of cattle as
sessed, according to the records, was in
1908, when 2,23s head were on the rolls,
the valuation being $3O,s95.
Under the law a person is entitled to
exemption on two cows and calves and
ten head of hogs. The erection of the
Natchez packing plant gave tremen-
dous boost for stock raising in this sec.
tion.

State Health Board Report.

Jackson.-Dr. S. H. Mclean, secre-
tary of the state board of health, has
transmitted to Governor Noel sum
married report of the work of that
organization during the past two years.
During this period the board of health
has performed more active and effec-
tive work for the improvement of health
and sanitary conditions than ever be-
fore in the history of the state. Using
this report as basis, Governor Noel
will transmit a message to the legisla-
ture, urging that a more liberal appro-
priation be allowed for work of this
character, and also that an appropria-
ton be made for the establishment Of
a bureau of vital and mortuary statis-
tics.

Jackson.-During the past few days
there has been considerable discussion
OF the proposition made by some of the
staunch friends of Ex-Governor Varda'
man for the purchase of home for his
use in this city. The proposition was
made in all sincerity and with bona
fide intent, and it is understood some
men had already prepared to subscribe
or contribute to any fund started for
that purpose.
Governor Vardaman was out Of the

Jackson.-S. J. Taylor, one of the sup

to the other Vardaman supporters to
contribute money and buy the new sem
ator home in Jackson. 1t is estimated
it will take from four to seven thousand
dollars. Already Mr.. Taylor has re-
ceived some contributions. Governor
Vardaman does not own a home, and

NO LOCKER CLUBS.

Governor Noel Declines Charters to Many
Applicants.
Jackson.-The following statement
elative to the flood of applications for
charter of social clubs in Washington
county and vicinity, has been given out
at the executive department.:
Governor Noel has about fifteen ap-
plications for charters of social clubs
from one county, which he will refuse,
or if granted, will attach to them condi-
tions making the charters void if any
spirituous, vinous, malt, or any other
intoxicating beverage is kept, handled or
sold in connection with the club.
In speaking of this matter Governor
Noel said:
"No charter has been, or will ever be-,
approved by me that contains any in
timation of q purpose to establish a
locker system, or in. any way to keep
or provide liquor for any person or pur-
pose. No form of charter, if granted,
can constitute any defense for any VIC.
lation of any of our laws against sell
ing, giving away or keeping liquors, nor
against acting Us agent of buyer or seller,
nor of soliciting liquor orders. No form
of club charter nor method of associa-
tion can constitute any legal defense to
what would be any crime against the
liquor or other law, if perpetrated by
an individual. Social clubs are as much
subject to the laws which impose pre-
sumptive guilt where federal license
or appliances for sales of liquor are
found, as any individual would be. With
our present knowledge of the workings
of our prohibition statutes and the
methods in which they are violated or
evaded, the next legislature, if the peo-
pie will elect legislators opposed to
blind tigerism and other crimes, can
absolutely stop such crimes in this state
unless it be an occasional offense by a
transitory bootlegger. l shall put the
proposition to the legislature with GER
tain enforcement of the law if the
means suggested by me for its Enforce
ment are adopted"
