of Mize, who has been d~eyoting consid'
cradle study to the subject and col.
Letting a good deal of data of q val
liable nature.
As indicating the injustice in the ap'
%port;onment under section 256 of the
constitution, Senator Simmons has com-
piled the population of the three dis
tSicts. The first district, beginning with
Tishomingo and ending with Oktibbeha,
has A representatives. The third dis.
trict, beginning with Adams and end
ing with Claiborne, has 44f and the rest
Of the, state, South Mississippi, is given
"A representatives, but on a basis oil
population it has greatly outstriped
either of the other two sections, and
has a great deal more territory.
The districts as compiled by Senator
Simmons are as follows:

Caring for ~consumptives.

There are now four special methods
by which consumptive workingmen in
the United States are being cared for.
In such cities as Albany, Elmira and
B~inghamton, N. Y, the unions support
a separate pavilion or hospital. In
cities like Hartford, New Britain and
South Manchester, Conn, the work
men contribute towards the mainte-
nance Of a fund for the care Of con-
sumptives. The employers also con-
tribute to these funds. There are also
two national sanatoria for the treat
ment Of tuberculosis owned and oper.
ated by labor unions; one by the In
ternational Typographical union, and
the other by the Printing Pressmen
and Assistants union. In Massachu.
sets. Illinois and elsewhere large cor
porations and manufacturers have
agreed voluntarily to care for all their
consumptive employees for a limited
length Of time.

PEANUT CROP POOR.
Costly Week for Railroads at Yazoo
City Court.

Yazoo City.-Farmers who have
planted peanuts extensively this year
are somewhat disappointed at the yield,
and a good many of them nnoun that
there will not be another trial at the
nuts for them. Unfayorable weather
conditions, consisting of a period OF
nearly forty days of rainy weather just
after planting so stimulated a growth
of grass and weeds that, where the
seed did not rot in the ground, the
vegetation choked the young plants bad
". Other farmers COMPLAIN that they
lose so many of the nuts in harvesting
and leaving in the ground, but this, &c
cording to experts, is their W fault.

TYPHOID FEVER EPIDEMIC.
Village in Union County at the Mercy Of
the Disease.

Jackson.-A violent epidemic of ty-
bhoid fever in the little village of End
vile, in Union county, has broken out,
and the state board of health has re-
ceived an appeal for help. This is but
ono Of a number of appeals, which are
coming in almost constantly, but un-
fortunately the state board of health
cannot give the assistance which is ex-
pected of it, and which it could do if
provisions have been previously made.
This little town, of which fifteen people,
belonging to eight families, are stricken
with typhoid, must unfortunately be left
to its own resources.
The state board has sent to the peo-
pie literature, and other directions, but
cannot supply the request for typhoid
vaccine, nor disinfectants.
