DRINKING CUP MUST GO.
Mississippi Railroad Commission Author
ICES EnforcementHo Order.


Jackson.-T Mississippi Railroad
Commission, in session last week, passed
an order which in effect empowers The
state board of health to enforce the order
passed at the last meeting of that body,
requiring all railroads passing through
or operating entirely within the state
to abolish the public drinking cup. This
matter has been under consideration for
quite long while, and the commission
has given the subject careful thought.
The order passed, which will become eff.
fective on and after October 1 next, is
the natural following up of the general
agitation of this same subject through
out the country. The order is as fol
lows:
"The Mississippi Railroad Commission
VS.. All Railroads in Mississippi

tons.
"This case coming on for final action,
all interested being heard, it is ordered
that commission circular No. S5 is cor-
rected to read as follows, to-wit.

lieu thereof the order of the state board
of health is hereby adopted, prohibiting
public drinking cups on trains and III
depots This order to be effective on and
after October 1, 1911"
This order, it is believed, will be ac-
cepted without serious protest by the
carriers, and while the railroad commits
sion grants authority for the abolish
ment of the public cup, it is left to the
state board of health to adopt admins.

] w. M'LAURIN WARD.
Late Methodist Minister Bequeaths
$4,000 to Charity HOSPITAL.

Jackson.-The will of the late Rev.
j. w. McLaurin, of the Methodist min
istry, whose death occurred quite re-
Gently at Monteagle, has reached this
city for probate, and was filed with the
chancery clerk by Watkins & Watkins,
attorneys. The jackson Bank is made
executor and the will directs that the
sum of $4,000 is to be placed in the
hands of the trustees of the state char
ity hospital, to be reinvested by the
executor bank until the principal and
interest shall equal $4,000.
From the investment of this bequest
the will directs that the annual income
shall go toward the equipment, main
tenance and support of the -. w. Nc
Laurin ward" which is to be devoted to
''The relief of poor, needy, sick and af-
flcted persons" The will further de.
vises and directs that the inscription
"ln the name of the Lord,' shall be
placed as a motto above the entrance
to such ward or wards.
1t appears that Rev. McLaurin years
ago, when property was comparatively
cheap, had invested his savings in real
estate, which has multiplied exceedingly
in value since then, and his estate is
estimated in value to be about $4,000.

AUDITOR ADVISES ASSESSORS.
Gives Some Information About Changes
on the Rolls.

There has been a good deal of con-
fusion in the minds of the tax assessors
as to how the changes in the tax rolls
should be made, and this should now be
dissipated by the following lucid letter
sent out from the auditors office this
morning to one of the inquiring officials; u;
Dear Sir-The supreme court has held
that when the board of supervisors equal
ize assessments, it is necessary for the
changes to be noted on the assessment
rolls, but it is unnecessary for the
changes to be entered on the minutes.
Changes made after the roll has been
certified to the tax collector and auditor
should be entered on the minutes and
certified copies should be furnished to
both the tax collector and the auditor.
"The changes should be noted on the
assessors copy of the roll in red ink.
Section 4307 of the code of 1906 re-
quires you to foot the roll, or rather
the copies. In making the copier for
the tax collector and auditor, of the
assessment that have been changed, you
should copy with red ink, or the changed
assessment in purple ink. You should
not copy the original assessment and
the changed assessment, too. These in
structlons are given concisely in front
of the assessment rolls"

wEEvIL PROOF COTTON.
Experiments Being Made to Improve the
Plant.

Clarksdale.-An experiment of the
greatest import to Southern cotton grow
ers is that now being tried in Texas to
produce cotton that will be boil weevil
proof This test of the immunity of
certain varieties, or the effort to find
such variety, is being made at the Texas
experiment farm at Brownsville, and is
being watched with interest by cotton
growers the country over.
The seed of fifty-six varieties of cot
ton, from various parts of the world,
chiefly from Central America, the Phil
ippines and South Africa, has been pro-
cured with view to developing some
cross variety that will be adapted to
Texas, both in the producing and the
insectresisting qualities. AS an illus
tration of the possibilities in this direc-
tion, one variety of cotton obtained from
Nicaragua has squares which hang down
war0. - is a proven fact that the boil
weevil is a clumsy insect and that it
clings with difficulty. Therefore, it
would find it difficult to hang on to
this Nicaragua cotton, which is being
successfully grown i'll its native country
whence the boil weevil originally came.
1t is the idea of those having the
experimentations in hand to blend this
Nicaragua cotton with the long staple of
the South, in the hope that the trait of
the squares hanging downward may be
retained and at the same time the excel
lent yield of the long staple.
The experiment is worthy one, and
apparently practicable. If successful, it
goes without saying that it will mean
much to the cotton growing sections, and
will perhaps be of value along other sci
entifc lines as demonstrating what may
be done "a la Burbank in producing new
and insect-resisting varieties of the fleecy
staple.

MUCH DAMAGE BY PESTS.
Seems Year of Tribulation for Those
Who Grow Things.

Jackson.-1he agricultural department
is in receipt of advices fro1 the pecan
growing section of the coast of Missis-
sippi, that the crop of pecans will be
considerably curtailed owing to per-
feet epidemic of caterpillars. Many of
the trees are being entirely denuded
of their leaves, and this causes the buds
to drop off. In the case of the smaller
trees the pest can be tolerably well
controlled, but the large old trees, from
which the main crops come, are suffer-
ing severely.
Also from the Lake George section
in 1azoo county comes the distressing
news from one planter, who has 400
acres in cotton, that the boil weevils
are so bad on his place that he doubts
if he will be able to make the amount
the land would rent for-$5.OO an acre.
Capt. c. II. Neyland of the Parchman
state farm states that there are plenty
OF army worms Oh the place, and boil
worms, too, but as yet no boil weevils,
and none are expected this year, but
next year the advance guard is expected
to be on hand. The boil worms and army
worms are very plentiful, so he reports,

LOCKED JAILER IN CELL.
Negro Murderer Escapes at Yazoo
Citv.

Yazoo City.-The monotonous hum
drum of Yazoo City was somewhat re-
lieved by three negro criminals, who at
tempted to make their escape by over
powering the jailer, Mr.. Williams, lock-
ing him in and departing These negroes
had been let out of their cells to sweep
up, when one, a wife murderer, by the
name of Richard Brown, gave the jailer
dime and asked him to buy melon.
When Mr.. Williams opened the door to
hand the melon in, the negro grabbed
his arm, jerked him in, locked the door,
and made his escape When trusty
opened the door to let Mr.. Williams out,
the other two, Will Lewis and Bob John
son, attempted to escape, but were
caught and returned to their cells. John
son was shot in the foot before he could
be persuaded to stop.
The negro Brown, who made his es-
cape, wears blue shirt, navy blue pants
and is barefooted and bareheaded He
is considered bad negro and may make
a desperate stand rather than be taken
