MR.. Il. Jones, travelling auditor
for the NJ II a. l.. Rail Road, was
a visitor to st. Joseph this week and
audited all the books and accounts
of the local office. Mr.. Jones made
J a most favorable report of bis work
here, having found everything in
beautiful shape and the affairs Of
the road kept in thorough and bust
ness-like manner. This report must
be gratifying to Agent Morris, but
it is not unexpected, as his close
attention to his duties and untiring
energy deserve the appreciation Of
company and patrons alike.
The long and disagreeable drought
of some weeks duration was broken
this week by several copious and
very much welcome showers. The
first rain to come was on Sunday
night, which was followed by good
rains every day until Thursday.
While perhaps we have not had
enough rain, it is the fear of some
that we are in for wet spell that
may not let up as soon as we wish.
DeVoe says for next week 23rd to
9th, sultry. On the 18th belt
of thunder storms will move across
the country, followed by cool wave.
26th to 9th, cool and pleasant.
18th to Both, pleasant.
Attention is called to advertise
ment of Brown & Douglass, brok-

careful attention. They are MEM

change and New Orleans Cotton
Future Brokers' Association and
associate members of Liverpool
Brokers Association. These con-
nections give them many advant-'
ages in both the local and foreign
markets and the personnel of the
firm is sufficient guarantee of fair
play to satisfy any one as to their
reliability.

Mgr. ID. w. Lacy OF the Natchez Tele-
phone Exchange, was visitor to Tensas
parish this week and spent several days
here looking over the ground and in
speeding the general service. Mr.. Lacy
informs us that the Newellton Exchange
now has some forty-three subscribers,
and in addition to present rural routes
has under adviscment the building Of
lines to the plantation homes OF the fol-
lowing gentlemen: DIR. Jos. Whitaker
at Somerset" DIR. X. B. Mcmillan at
''The Burn" Winterton Bros, at ''Rar-
itans" and Messrs. Denny and Bergin
Bros. at Winter Quarters. With the
completion of these routes the entire
Lake st. Joseph country will be verit-
able net work of telephone wires and will
be in direct communication with the out
side world Mr.. Lacy is also endeavor-
ing to interest residents of the New Light
section in what the telephone company
terms their Farmers Contract" This
contract offers the following inducements:
The New Light people are expected to
build and equip line from whatever
point Of beginning they may elect, to in
tersect the Cumberland's wires at nearest
point, either by dirt road or air line,
which in this case, entering st. Joseph
Exchange, would probably be at Ridge
land" plantations $500 station. The
cost to the New Light subscribers. after
the establishment OF their own line.
would be the cost OF this station, six dol
lars per month, to be pro rated among
themselves, and in addition each phone
ON the private line is taxed two dollars
per year for switching charges. In adj
dition they must build and maintain tier
own line, furnishing all material, &c.
This is considered about the best contract
the company has to offer to rural patrons
remotely located and we sincerely hope
our New Light friends can see their way
clear TO make such arrangement, as the
heaviest part Of the expense will be TIE
initial cost Of equiping the private line.

easily average 800 pounds each. fur

This wholesale slaug. or of calves
has attracted the serious attention of
the united master butch ars OF Amer
lea. At the last national convention
a resolution was passed 70 seek a ma
tional law to prohibit tn slaughter OF
calves and lambs during March, April
and May.
There is ene feature of the meat
packing busine-5 that does not -eem
to be understood or Considered. It is
learned from current market reports
that cattle sell at 81 per hundred
weight, but 1t should b. remembered
that cattle do not dress out on the
average over 56 per cent. of the live
weight, so thai when these cattle are
on the books they stand the slaughter
er over ten cents a pounL, with other
expenses yet to be added. There are
some returns, of course, from by-prod-
ucts.
Regarding pork products, the coun-
try Is more happily circumstanced.
The SOW easily bears Awo filters a
year, each litter averaging from eight
to twelve pigs.
Hogs dress out on the average so pei
cent. Of their live weight, and losses by
condemnation by the government are
balanced by adding to the price of the
finished product, of those hogs that
pass inspection.
AS inspection is for the benefit Of
consumers, why should they not pay
for it? This may account for the high
cost of pork products, as the depart
ment of agriculture estimates the
losses by condemnation as exceeding
s3,000,0 900 annually.
Retail meat dealers must charge ac-
cording to the prices they pay whole
salers, and it will be found on investi-
cation that they do not charge over
25 per cent. above the cost price. and
with that profit they must pay business
expenses. The statement that delivery
and telephone service, ETC., are respon-
sible for high prices, is absurd. Nc
meat dealer has all these modern con-
veniences, unless the volume of bust
ness demands and warrants it. Losses
on credit trade have been greatly re-
duced.

FORMER OFFICIAL,
DEAD IN ORANGE
Passes Away While Planning
for Elks' Lodge of
Sorrow.

When the death roll of Orange Lodge
of Elks is called at the nnual lodge of
sorrow on Sunday, December 3, one of
the names to which no response will be
made is that of former Freebooter
Charles n. Romine, the popular Repub-
lican leader, who passed away last
night. BY a strange coincidence, the
deceased was on the committee arrang-
ing for the lodge of sorrow.
The funeral will probably take place
on Saturday afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
Rev. w. Warren Giles, the pastor of
First Reformed Church, a warm friend
of the deceased, is expected to officiate
at the services. The members of the
Elks and knights of Pythias lodge will
be present.
Mr.. Romine died last night at his
home, Il Hillyer street, surrounded by
the members of his family. Death
came after his failure to rally from an
attack OF typhoid fever. He mad been
in ill-health for some time, and had
been confined to his bed since last Fri
day. On Tuesday Afternoon. he became
unconscious and sank steadily until he
succumbed about Z o'clock.

States for 1910 exceeded $500, 900. AS a
COW bears only one calf a year it is
easy to figure out that with the present
slaughter of cows and calves We must
eventually catch up with the cattle
supply.
This Wholesale %slaughte- of calves is
not confined t. the United States. for
official statistics 'cc Germany for 1910
show that the slaughter of calves there
was 5,125,000. In France, and, In fact,
all through Europe, veal is the popular
meat, and, Notwithstanding the in
creased price, the demand is greater
than the supply.
If the calves slaughtered yearly in
the United States were allowed to live
fifteen months we should have beef
in plenty, not onl. for home consump-
ton. but for export.
Allowing that the average weight of
the calves slaughtered is S twenty-five
pounds, they would furnish only $751;
