WILL DEMONSTRATE
USES OF DYNAMITE
EXHIBITION TO Be GIVEN HERE
Messrs. Brooks MCGOWAN and A.
Fl. Pegues VIII Demonstrate
the Uses Of Explosive
on Farms

Many innovations have been
introduced in the vocation of
farming during the past few
years. and prominent among
them is the use Of dynamite for
the removal Of stumps from
land that is being cleared up for
cultivation. Farmers in the
West have been pursuing this
method of freeing ground from
stumps for quite a long time, and
with the view of interesting
local agronomists in the matter
Messrs. Brooks MCGOWAN and A.
II. Pegues will on next Tues
day give a demonstration of the
practical uses of the explosive as
an adjunct to up-to-date farm
ing.
The demonstration will take
place on the premises of Mr..

enth avenue, at two o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, and the peo-
pie of Columbus and the sur
rounding country, especially
those engaged in agricultural
pursuits, are extended a cordial
invitation to be present.
The removal of stumps by dy-
Mantle was given a practical
demonstration at the A. and M.
College several weeks ago by

partment Of agricultuse Of the

THE COTTON CROP IS
ABN0RMAlLY LARGE
YIELD LARGEST ON RECORD
Report of Agricultural Bureau
Which was Recently Issued
Indicates $4,000, 900
Bales Grown

A statement of the crop re
porting board of the Unite,
States department of agriculturr
indicates that the cotton croI
of the country for the curren
season will reach a total of NOR,
than fifteen million bales.
This report confirms the pre-
dictions of Secretary of Agricul.
ture Wilson and other cotton ex-
perts who have recently Travelled
through the belt and bears out
the claims of various brokers and
statisticians to the effect that
the crop would be a record break
Ter. The report covers the period
up to November the 1st, and
shows that a total of 9,968, 172
bales had been ginned up to that
date.
The figures confined h the
report indicate that 81 ID in
nearly all cotton grCa VS. yates
will be in excess s'AA q last
season. The ore stn ioaNng
a decrease is GAahonia, VII re
the yield will be slightly less tAan
it was last year. although about
double what it was Tor the sea-
son of 1908.09.
One of the most significant
features Of the report Is that it
indicates that there il little rea-
son to expect an advance in the
market al any time in the near
6ture. The price of any COM
modify Is regulated by the law
d cup ~ and demand, and when
la ssA uly of cotton is perfectly
aaaaus. ~ All demands it fol-
lows " anatnral sequence that
there Ill be no advancein prices.
This fact IL disappointing ia the
people Of the South generally,
and especially to the farmers of
owndes county, many of whom
have been holding their cotton in |
the hope that they could obtain
better prices later in the season.
Officials of the Farmers Union I
nave advised farmers through
'ut the South to hold to their
otton, but such a course really
ccomplishes nothing as a stimu-
BUS to prices, as the reports is
ued from time to time by the
overnment keep the spinners
onstantly informed as to the
umber of bales ginned, and
1ey will not pay inflated prices
DR. the staple when they know
nat the supply is commensurate
'ith the demand.

BOND BILL PASSES
HOUSE AND SENATE
ADMINISTRATION WINS OUT
Both Houses Pass Bills Prcvid-
ing for Redemption Of State
Bonds BY Direct Appro-
priation

Governor Noel and his support
ers won a signal victory at Jack
son Thursday, when both branch
es Of the Mississippi Legislature
passed bills providing for the
redemption Of bonds issued BY
the State in 1910 by a direct ap'
preparation of 5000, 600.
In both wings of the capitol
the administration forces worked
zealously to put through the
measure for which the extra
session was especially called.
Their efforts met with gratifying
success, the bond fund bill hav-
ing been passed in senate after
lengthy debate and the Bird
bill. which has the same effect
and purpose, having received a
majority in the house.
There is one feature of the
Bird bill which may possibly i'm
pede its smooth passage further
or delay its effect. The law pro-
vides that all appropriations to
become effective must be sup
ported not only by a majority OF
those voting but majority OF
the entire membership of the
house. In order for the Bird
bill to become effective it will
have to be ratified by a majority
when every member of the house
is present, which was not the
case last Thursday, and those
opposed to the measure contend
