COMMON DRINKING CUPS TABOOED
Order Passed by the Railroad Com
mission Being Sent to the Super
intendents for Information.

Jackson.-Formal notification was
sent from the state board of health
to the superintendents of the various
railroads in Mississippi of the cnsetment
Of the separate drinking cup law. Sec
retary Mclean is sending out the fol
lowing letter:
Il am enclosing copy of the order
passed by the Mississippi state board of
health on October II, 1909, prohibiting
the use of the public drinking cup on
all trains and i'll all railway stations.
This order has not been heretofore en-
forced because the board OF health de-
sire the cooperation of the railroad COM
mission.
"The said railroad commission has
finally passed an order cooperating with
the board of health, copy of which has
already been sent to you by railroad
commission.
"You are hereby requested to observe
and strictly enforce said order for the
protection of public health, same being
effective on and after October 1, 1911"
The resolution of the railroad com
mission is as follows:
''Whereas, 1t has been repeatedly
demonstrated that the use of what is
known as the common drinking cup is
dangerous and is an undoubted source
of communication of infectious dis
eases.
"Now, therefore, in the interest of
public health, be it ruled by the Missis-
sipp state board of health:
''That the use of the common drink
ing cup on railroad trains, in railway
stations, in public and private schools,
and the state educational institutions
of Mississippi, is hereby prohibited from
and after January 1, 1910.
mo person or corporation in charge
or control of any railroad train or sta
tion, or public or private school, or state
educational institution shall furnish any
drinking cup for public use. And no
such person or corporation shall permit
on said railroad train or station or at
said public or private school, or state
educational institution, the use of the
common drinking cup"

NO MERCY FOR O|EGLE
Ohio Confess0r Will Have to
Wear Stripes.

At Columbus, O., Prosecuting At
Attorney E. c. Turner and Attorney
General T. S. Hogan went into con.
ference to consider the confession of
Rodney j. Diegle, former sergeant-at-
arms of the Ohio senate, who was con-
victed of aiding bribery. They an.
nounced beforehand that the confes-
sion did not tell everything Diegle
knows in connection with the alleged
grating in the legislature and that
clemency for Diegle probably would
not be recommended.
After only fifteen minutes together,
Hogan and Turner parted and the lat
ter made this statement:
Our position las not been changed.
Diesle came to us and volunteered to
confess. He has not told everything.
II he tells all we will give him some
consideration. The confession he has
made will not do. Unless he tells the
remainder-the whole truth-he will
have to wear stripes"

MAY USE LASH ON CONvICTS.
Crops and Stock on State Farms in Fine
Condition.

Jackson.-All the members of the
board of pentientiary trustees were OF
hand for their regular monthly meet
ing with w. A. Montgomery of the
First district, Charles c. Smith of tho
Second and Leroy T. Taylor of the Third
who is also chairman Of the board
through choice of his colleagues
Among the live topics of discussion
which characterized the conference was
that of convict whipping, which was
precipitated by Superintendent j. c
Gathings himself, who stated to tho
board that he was very anxious to have
an official declaration from the body
lie wanted to know whether the boart
approves of the use of the lash, and de
scribed conditions which exist at Rankin
farm, which is the white colony.
The opinion of the board was that the
handling of these cases be left entirely
to the superintendent, who is directly il
charge of and responsible for the treat
ment and well-beng of all convicts.
Col Montgomery submitted his month
ly report, and in the course of that docu
ment expressed the belief that they vii
make perhaps about half crop of cot
ton, on both Parchman and Belmont
while on the Rankin place, on cult
waited acreage of 140 acres in cotton
the best that they can expect will bt
from forty to fifty bales.
All other crops and the stocks are il

are being raised III abundance.

STATE NEWS NOTES
Weekly Budget of News items Gathered by Cur
Special Correspondent at Jackson
CLAIBORNE LEADS THE LIST.
First County to Enlist for Tomato Clubs
Next Year,

Jackson.-Claiborne county is the
first one of the Mississippi counties to
enroll i'll the Tomato Club list for the
girls for next year, outside of The two
original counties, Copiah and Linccln.
Ihe demonstration in those two conn
ties of the work under the able leader
ship OF Miss Susie V. Powell of the
school improvement work of the state
department of education has been so
successful that counties all over the
state are anxious to get i'll the list and
have the tomato clubs organized for
work among the girls next year The
organization and work is carried on IN
der Miss Powelrs direction through the
local teachers, and they in turn are
backed and stimulated by the business
organizations and public spirited indi-
vlduals, who arrange for prizes and con.
test to keep up interest among the girls.
The September number of the Educa-
tional Advance will contain the plan of
organization in detail, and those coun-
ties which want to get organized for
the work next year would do well to
communicate with Miss Powell at Jack
son, at once
In the work in Copiah and Lincoln
counties has been all that Miss Powell
desired, and it came as pleasant sur
prise the interest the mothers of the
girls took in the work At every DEM
onstration nearly every mother was on
hand, and numbers of the little mex
pensive yet eifectual canning apparatus
approved by the department of agri-
culture and used by Miss Powell were
disposed of at actual cost to the inter
ested ladies.
The display of the Girls Tomato Clubs
at the State Fair will also be an eye
opener to the people One little miss,
fourteen years old, in Lincoln county,
planted less than IA fourth of an acre
in tomatoes, tended and picked them her.
self. She never saw canning outfit
until Miss Powell came and demonstrated
its use.
Since that time this young lady has
canned some twelve hundred cans Of
tomatoes and figures that the remain
ing crop on the vines will make three
hundred additional cans. The United
States department of agriculture has
provided her with attractive labels, lith-
ographed with luscious red tomato Oh
each. Also there is place on the label
for her signature. The department fur
nishes the labels free to all who desire
them.
She will be able to sell her output at
ten cents a can, the price for standard
size cans such as hers are The can
ming outfit cost about $3.50 and the can
very little more. AT that rate she will
get returns in the neighborhood of six
hundred dollars an acre.

WILL HANDLE
100000 BALES
FARMERS UNION EXPECTS THIS
AMOUNT OF COTTON CROP.
Has More Than Sixty Warehouses in
the State, Which Are Widely
Scattered.

Jackson.-A, A,ccording to President G..
r. Hightower, of the Mississippi division
of the Farmers Union, the chain of
warehouses of that organization will
handle at least 100000 bales of the
states cotton crop during the current
season.
"Granting that the Mississippi crop
does not exceed one million bales, | am
confident that one-tenth of the amount
will be handled through our ware
houses" says President Hightower. I'VE
expect, of course, to handle a great deal
of cotton grown by farmers who are
not members of the organization, as
was the case last year. As we are now
in control of the principal warehouses
of the state, and our system is i'll first
class working order, there is no reason
why the volume of our receipts should
not show heavy increase.
"The Farmers Union headquarters in
this city now occupy the entire second
floor of the Neal building, Oh South
for the warehouse department, it was
necessary to secure additional floor
space, and the building has been fitted
up in first-class shape for sampling and
the clerical work incident to warehous-
ing aud marketing the crop.
Eve operate sixty-odd warehouses in
the state" said Mr. Hightower, 'and
we have asked for careful reports from
the managers of each of them. These
warehouses are widely scattered, and
represent all sections. In addition we
get many letters from our people, and
the result will justify me in saying
that | believe the crop this year has
been underestmated considerably, even
after estimates made of deterioration
and damage.
an the boil weevil district, the wee
wills have been extremely active and
have inflicted extraordinary damage.
Then comes the reporting of army worms
and caterpilars. The army worms and
the caterpllars have destroyed the last
vestige of a chance for a top crop.
Practically all the cotton that will be
gathered is that made along in July
and the early part of August, therefore.
at occurs to me that in view of the
reports of crop shortage all over the
country, and the address of President
Charles IT, Barrett, the national presi-
dent of the union, it would be a wise
move for the farmers to go slow on
marketing cotton for a while-but as
to predictions as to what the Missis-
spp crop will be, | am not prepared
to give the figures. Suffice it to say it
is going to be great deal shorter than
most people think"

NIP PLOT TO ESCAPE.
Would Have Freed White Man Charged
With Murder.

Jackson.-According to a report from
Rankin penitcntiary farm, plot has
been nipped in the bud which, had it run
ITS destined course, would in all prob
aoIilty have meant the escape of w. A..
Sorsby, white, held there for the mur-
der OF Charles Fitzgerald postofrice in
spector at the Clinton depot, nearly three
years ago. Through trustv convict at
Rankin by name of Stockman. the Off
Gals there were apprised of what pur-
ported to be well laid plot to procure
the freedom of Sorsby without warrant
of law. 1t seems another convict. one
Clark, also trusiy guard, as reported.
had been prevailed upon to permit
Sorsby to pass the guard unmolested
After passing the line he was to make
his way to nearby cabin, where he
would find pistol and, armed with that.
was to make his way to the high road,
at certain point ON which there was
to be an automobile in waiting, in which
he was to make his escape
1t appears Clark took Stockman into
his confidence which the authorities be-
ieve was eventually worked up by
friends of Sorsby on the outside, and
the latter realizing the possibilities of
just such a scheme, communicated it to
the authorities.

GREAT DRAIN ON STATE.
One Small Town Sends Over $4,000 to
Foreign Houses.

Jackson.-As indicating the extent to
which Mississppians are addicted to the
email order habit" of sending money
away out of the state to the big con-
Germs of the North and East for goods
which they can purchase at home prac-
tically as cheaply, and at the sinne time
keep the money in circulation in their
respective communities, the figures of the
postmaster of Charleston, Tallahatchie
county, are startling.
According to Mr. William Quarles,
Jr., who holds that office, from June
80, 1910, to July 1, 1911, the staggering
sum of $24,s00 was sent to mail order
houses. This does not include the eX-
press money orders, or the amount sent
through banks and by exchange. These
mediums would augment the amount
half as much again.
Charleston is little town of not
much over two thousand inhabitants,
and the county surrounding it is not
thickly settled.

NEW SHRINER TEMPLE.
Second Lodge in Mississippi Starts on
September 27.

Jackson.-September 27 is going to be
one of the long remembered days i'll this
city, 1t will be most auspicious day
in Masonic annals, being the birthday of
he second temple in this state of the
Ancient Arabic Order Mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine.
Formerly Mississippi, although it pos
sesses a membership of over 800 Shrin-
ers, has had but one temple, Hamasa, OF
Meridian. That is now changed, and
at the last meeting of the imperial
council at Rochester it was determined
that Mississippi was large enough for
two shrnes and the petition of Wahabi
Temple was favorably acted upon.
The jurisdiction of Hamasa Temple,
Meridian, hereafter will be all of Mis-
sissippi lying east of a line drawn north
and south through the commonwealth
and located one-half the distance be-
tween jackson and Meridian. Wahabi
Temple jackson, will have all that por-
tion west of the aforesaid line, which
places almost two-thirds of the state i'll
the Jackson jurisdiction.
