SOIL SURVEY PROGRESSES.
DR.. E. N. Lowe of Geological Survey
Makes Report.

Jackson.-After some months OF
hard and continuous work and close
application to the extensive soil sur
vey which has been in progress, Dr..
E. N. Lowe, director of the Missis-
sippi geological survey, gives an inter
esting summary of what has been
done. Speaking generally, DR.. Lowe
says:
The field work of the geological
survey has made rapid progress dur
ing the good weather of January and
February. The three field parties On
soil survey have bsel continuously al
work since January /, the work being
carried on in the counties of Lowndes,
Wayne and Forrest. The weather has
been so favorable and the soil condi-
tions so closely parallel to those OF
Noxubee county that Messrs. Smith
and are now engaged upon the soils
of Lowndes, are rapidly bringing the
work of that county to completion.
Work in the other counties was not
begun until January l, hence has 10
progressed as far, but is moving aloag
rapidly.
''Dr. Logan is at work upon the
structural materials Of the state, and
the report will be ready for publica-
tion at an early date.
The director has completed a pre-
liminary study of the soils of the
state, the report on which is now
ready for the printer. An insistent
and growing demand has been coming
in to the office of the geological sur
vey for information about the soils Of
the state. The requests have come
both from citizens of the state and
from prospective investors and home
seekers from other states. To meet
this demand a bulletin, which will
cover about 200 pages of print, has
been prepared.
"The soils CT every part Of the state
have been treated as fully as space
would allow, giving their character
istics, distribution so far as at present
known, present state of agriculture,
analysis of the soils, showing the per
cent. of phosphoric acid, nitrogen and
humus-the essential plant foods
adaptations OF different crops and
best treatment of the soil. The water
supply of each soil region is also
given, including available artesian
watef.
ITO meet the boil weevil crisis in
the southern half of the state, and
the immediate necessity for diversi-
iication of crops, this region has been
somewhat more fully treated than
others, and the majority Of soil anal
ysis are from that part of the state"

VICTORY FOR CUMBERLAND,
Suits Involving More Than One Million
Dollars Knocked Out.

Su'tS tiNOiViH9 wore ! nan One Mlllion
Dollars Knocked Out.
Jackson.-Th Mississippi antitrust
law has no application to the rates
charged by the Cumberland Telegraph
and Telephone Company, according to
a decision rendered by the supreme
court in the celebrated Prentiss coun-
ty case, in which complainants sought
to collect, in the name of the state,
statutory penalties aggregating about
one and one-half million dollars
Five individual suits, instituted in
the same tribunal asking for penalties
aggresating 100000, were also dis
missed, and the Cumberland wins a
sweeping victory, the supreme court
holding that it is a common carrier
subject to supervision by the railroad
commission, and that the antitrust
law does not apply TO complaints of
this character.
Briefly stated, it was alleged that
the Cumberland Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company had been discriminat-
Ing In rates in favor of the town of
Bonneville, and against other locali-
ties
The Cumberland replied with a de-
murrer that the matters complained
of were within the jurisdiction of the
railroad commission, and the anti
trust statutes had no application
thereto. This demurrer is sustained
by the supreme court, the decision
overruling the ruling of Chancellor
Robins, and a dismissal necessarily
follows.
