SUGAR MARKET IS
 MAKING BIG GAINS

New York, August 31.-Grocery circles here showed concern today over the nigh prices now prevailing in the sugar mar ket There was another advance in grant, lated during the day to 6.25c, represent ing a full cent rise in the last few weeks and the highest level in many years Coming at the height of the canning sea son this advance is of vital interest to consumers all over the country. It is at tributed primarily to poor sugar beet crop in Europe, following prolonged drouth this summer. To make matters worse the Cuban crop, which furnishes the bulk of raw material for American re- fineries, also proved short, and prices began to soar.
 Far sighted dealers bought large sup plies some months ago. leaving the mar ket almost bare of stock, and raw sugars in consequence have made new high rec ords. while many operators in the street predict that the end is not yet in sight.

 Captain Kolb, speaking for the pure food department of the state, declares that it Is the purpose of the department to sec that these regulations are strictly en- forced, and he has issued a warning that all vioiators of the law will oe prose- |cuted.

NEW JACKSON RAIL- ROAD CALLED AXE Mississippi Legislature May Call a Constitutional
 Convention

Jackson, Miss, August 31.-(Special.)-lf Governor Noel had been permitted to read A letter written to Secretary of State Power by well known CIVIL engl- neer few hours earlier he would not have issued his proclamation authorizing the organization of the Meridian and Memphis Railroad company. But as the secretary of state had not received the letter until after the proclamation mad been issued and given to the press, 1t could not be recalled
 The writer of the letter asks that it be treated in confidence. hence his name is pared to make good every assertion. He says:
 "I understand that an application for a charter for a railroad has been made to YOU. to connect Meridian and Memphis. bv Messrs. Neville Cofield & Stowell I do not know the first party. but I do know that the second two have been con- nected with several fake surveys, hav- inc collected considerable sums of money from people en ro,Ae. ''to make the sur vevs" Notable among these fake sur '- (Prince Reuline Route); also the Baton Rouge and Jackson, the Gainesville. Ala, Southwestern; also one to run from Pas cagouIa or thereabouts. to Memphis. You can find the different names from the in- corporations on record in your office for the year 1909.
 .There is an organized gang of these promoters operating in the soutnern states, incorporating railroads, making sneeches and creating enthusiasm among inc people. and incidentally collecting money flor the survey running the line where they can secure the most
 money.
 One of the demands to be made on the ,aoislature that assemblies here in Jan- nary will be for a constitutional conven- t,on and there seems to be little doubt tnot If will be ordered. Those who de- oand the convention for revision of the constitution would seem to have their quarrel just especially as to representa- | ton in the legislature, as IS to pe seen ps reference to the election rturns of foui | vars ago--the last that have been footed up by districts.
 The most persistent demands for the l constitutional convention come from the second. or middle district composed oi 2s counties south of the Alabama ane Vicksburg railroad, to and including thu coa st counties The total vote in these
 oS counties was S7,291. The number o
 senators apportioned Is now 10h; repre- sentatives. S.
 1 Telegrams were received here today an nouncing the death of Prof. w. Johnson better known as Prop" Johnson to thu older State university boys. The remains
 were sent to Oxford for interment. Pro lessor Johnson graduated at the universi
 ty about 1875 or 1876. and had been con
