dria. Mr.. Wilson was unable to speak
at any of the stops en- route his ply

exposure. Senator Swanson explained
this to the crowd at Culpepper, and
Governor Wilson raised his hat to ac-
knowledge the cheers. "Put your hat
on" cautioned an aged Virginian on
the fringe of the crowd.
Thank you very much" laughed
the governor as he took the advice
and leaned forward to shake hands
with the crowd. How does it feel to
be back in Virginia" and Let me
just touch the tips of your fingers"
Hello, Woodrow" and a series of
salutations were directed at the Presi-
dent-elect as he bent from the plat

greet as many as possible individually
The governor did not respond to any
of the many cries for a speech. The
crowds were good-humored and did not
insist. II must say they are very gen.
erous in taking the thing as they do"
he said to National Chairman William
?. McCombs, who stood beside him on
the platform.
1t was at Manassas that the first Of

CONSTIIUTIONALITY
OF Law Will BE
TESTED
SUIT WILL SOON BE BROUGHT
AIMED AT PROHIBITING COR
PoRATIoN FARMING.
Special to The Nei0S.

Special to The Nelos.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 2S.-Suit will
shortly be entered in one of the chan
Gerry districts of the delta to test the
constitutionality of the legislative act
prohibiting corporations from engag-
ing in agricultural pursuits, which
took effect on November / last.
1t is stated that several of the ablest
lawyers in the state have been retain
ed to fight the case in chancery, and
carry the litigation to the United
States Supreme Court if necessary.
The proceeding will be filed within the
next fortnight.
This statute has created a great deal
Of adverse comment, and 1t was ex-
pected that, Governor Brewer would
veto the measure when 1t was pre-
sented for signature, as he had de-
clared unequivocally against the prin-
eiple involved. However, the governor
affected a compromise with the lead
ers of the Farmers Union, who were
backing the bill, and secured an
amendment providing that 1t should
not take effect until Nov. of the
present year.
Within two weeks of the date named
the governor approved charters of
farming corporations aggregating more
than is million dollars in capital
stock. Many of these charters were
secured merely for speculative pur-
poses, and the incorporators have made
no attempts at reorganization, and in
reality do not hold any lands.
How the supreme court may con-
strue the statute is of course a mat
ter of speculation, but it is a matter
of record that Associate Justice Rich
ard F. Reed, appointed at the begin
ming of the present term, was a mem
Der of the state senate when the bill
was passed, and made a strong fight
against 1t, delivering a mastery argu-
ment seeking to show that the pro-
visions were unconstitutional.
The statute contains.a clause pro-
viding that it shall not prevent cor
porations from taking mortgages on
land to secure debts, and to foreclose
on same, but after thus acquiring
title the land shall not be held for
longer period than twenty years. 1t
also provides that a corporation may
be the lessor, or lessee, of lands not
exceeding 10000 acres in extent for
a period of not more than twenty
years.
The measure was one of the most
enacted at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, and has been
a subject of much discussion since its
enactment.

KNEW DUCKS, BUT
NOT OF MAIL KIND.

Joseph Millman. of Hugenot. Staten
Island, shipped $50 ducks and ten
geese in August last to Joseph Pep
pier, who runs duck farm in the
Mongaup Valley, N. Y. The price was
$125, but Peppler did not pay, so Mill
man sued. The case came to trial
yesterday before Judge Carrick in the
First District Court, Jersey City.
Peppler was asked why he refused to
settle. He answered that when the
crate arrived at the railroad station at
Monticello, N. Y, three of the ducks
were dead, and that soon after the
others had been placed on the farm
seventy-three of them died.
"On what did you feed them?'
asked the plaintiffs lawyer.
Mixed corn. wheat, meal, salt and
an abundance of grit and sand" was
the reply
That's enough to kill any duck"
put in Millman.
Where did you gain your knowledge
of ducks and the care of them?" the
lawyer asked Peppler.
Through a correspondence school,"
Peppler answered proudly.
Millman got judgment for the full
amount.-Edmonton, Alberta, Tele-

MANY FARMERS ARE
GOING To RAISE
STOCK
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE IN
SOUTH MISS. COUNTIES TO
ENTER THE INDUSTRY.

Special to The NeioS.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 2S.-Many farm
ers in South Mississippi, especially
those with extensive land holdings. are
busily engaged with preparations to
enter the stock raising industry on a
large scale They have sent buyers
to the large stock farms of the West
and North in quest of blooded cattle
for breeding purposes, and crop prepa-
rations for the coming year are based
on the needs they will encounter in the
new industry.
The fact that cattle raising can be
made to pay in Mississippi has been
strikingly illustrated by the fancy
prices recently obtained for cattle rails
ed in this state in the st. Louis mar
ket. One recent instance of its re-
numerative feature can be cited from
Copia county, where ]. M. Mathis ship
ped herd of ten Devon cattle to the
New Orleans market and obtained the
top price of Ia cents per pound, the
herd netting over $50 per head.
Many of the stock farms in this state
engaged in the sale of cattle for breed
ing purposes have their supplies we'll
nigh depleted, and a number of large
purchases in Texas of herds to be
shipped to Mississippi have been re-
ported during the past few days.
