Railroads Making Money.

Jackson.-That the past year has
been prosperous one in Mississippi Is
indicated very clearly and beyond perad-
venture of doubt by the annual re-
ports of the railroad companies now be-
ing filed with the state railroad com
mission for the fiscal year just past.
Thus far of all the systems in the
state, not one has failed to show II
Iice profit, which indicates clearly a
healthy condition of busines and active
commerce.

LIQUOR DECISION AWAITED.
Supreme Court May Rule On Vicksburg
Case Soon.

Vicksburg.-It is believed that the
Mississippi supreme court will within a
month Land down decision in the cele-
brated Vicksburg soft drink cases. 1t
will be remembered that in December
last temporary injunction was grant
ed against a number of soft drink
stands here who were accused of selling
Intoxicating liquors in defiance of the
statewide prohibition law. Later at In
dianola, Chancellor Thomas dissolved
tie injunction so as to make it not
apply to beer, ale, etc, but sustained it
as to whiskey, wine, etc. The chancel-
lor also dismissed the attachment. From
this order the state appealed and the
defendants filed a cross appeal. 1t is
now up to the supreme court.

TO START TOMATO CLUBS.
Those That Will Get the Tomato Club
Work This Year Selected.


Jackson.-Niss Susie V. Powell, of
the school improvement work, has an
rounced the full list of counties which
will have the tomato clubs for the girls
this year.
The government decided it would only
extend aid to ten counties in Missis-
sippi, and after careful delberation, she
has fixed on Lincoln, Copiah, Holmes,
Jones, Lamar, Forrest, Oktibbeha, Mont
gomery, Claiborne and Wilkinson.
These counties have shown the best
teachers organization, and the people OF
the counties have shown more anxiety
for the tomato club work to be started
than other counties. 1t is likely the
work will be extended next year, but
ten counties is the limit this time.

S1SSON ADVISES FARMERS.
Mississippi Congressman Is For Crop
Diversifcati ton.


West Point.-Hon. T. Z. Sisson, con
gresham from this district, delivered
practical address to farmers and mer-
chants at the court house. Mr.. Sisson
discussed in a plain way the great prob
lom of farmers holding their cotton and
net being forced to let it go on the
market every year as distress cotton,
thereby permitting cotton spectators
to determine the price of their cotton.
The solution, Mr.. Sisson says, is for
the farmer to grow his own bread, meat,
and mules at home and not sell his
cotton for these things freely before
the cotton itself is made. When this is
dore and the farmer is out of debt, he
will be able to demand the worth of his
cotton on the market.

The capture of the city YVES the culmi-

result of the tremendous feeling Gre

In front of the viceroy's yamen.
Among the foreigners known to have

A Good Movement Started.

Jackson.-Scott county has, through
its board of supervisors, passed an order
prohibiting the shooting, catching or de-
struction of every species of birds except
hawks, crows and English sparrows for
a term of two years. The action was
taken not alone to prevent the extermi-
nation of the birds, but in the interest
of cotton planters, who claim that num-
ber of birds, notably quail and field lark,
would, if permitted to multiply in suff-
cient numbers, materially aid in the fight
on boil weevils, army worms and cater
pillars. Now if the Scott county su-
pervisors will pass a law taxing the
dogs that rove around and break up the
quails' nests and get rid of the super
fluous lot of ours they will make COM
plete lob of it.
