Il nay be sou win fail to climb
The highest pinnacle Of fame,
And down the corridors of time
May not 30 laundering your name.
Dut u few shall some day say
The while they pause beside your
bier,
That you made rosler their way,
You win not have toiled vainly here.
You may not with the heroes stand,
Or deck with medals fine your
breast;
You may not rise to rule the land
or conquer in a money quest
But if, when you haze passed away,
"A few shall mourn you as friend,
And I'VE shall miss him, sadly say,
You've al the glory earth can send
For medals cannot pierce the veil
Through which must pass the souls
Of men;
Fame only is an earthly tale
Told here, but never heard again
But II a few shall some day say,
The while they mourn beside your
bier,
That you made easier their way,
BE not afraid, the Lord win bear.

LOOKS LIKE BIG INVENTION.
Cliff Orr ~Invents Great Oil Mill Saving
Machine.

Yazoo City.-CliF Orr, of this city,
seems at last to have brought out Il ma
chine for handling the seed, pressing the
oil out OF them and handling the cake
that will prove a saving of hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars Il year to the cotton
seed oil mills OF the country. To get
the oil now numerous presses and labor
crs have TO be used, the expense of so
much labor and cost OF expensive presses
being enormous.
mir. Orr has a machine which does
away with the presses and the laborers,
the only labor being those needed to put
The seed in Il conveyor which carries
them to the machine. The contrivance
works automatically, requiring no ont
to look after it. As the oil is pressed
from the seed it is conducted off in
pipes. The machine is so adjusted that
after the oil is taken from the seed the
cake is dumped i" square blocks from
the presses.

OLD RATES ARE RE|NSIA1EO
DECISION OF RAILROAD CoMMIS.
SIONERS ANTICIPATED.
Casq Can Go Direct to Supreme Court
Without Fo:mality of Chancery
Proceedings.

Jackson.--As anticipated by many OF
those who heard the testimony and ar.
guments before the Mississippi pcil.
road Commission relative to the all.
absorbing freight classification PROPOSE.
ton. on the petition OF shippers. COM
mercial secretaries and Others for u
hearing, the commission decided in fa.
vor of the petitioners and orders the
former, or mississippi Classification
r~einstated.
Whether the carriers or those repre-
senting them will accept the decree with.
out appeal remains to be seen, as tie
railroads have the right OF appeal di. ect
from the commission to the supreme
court, without the formality of goiha
into the ~chanccry court for an ~injunc.
ton.
The following is the text of the order
relative to the classification matter:
1t appearing to the satisfaction of
said commission, after due and dcliber.
ate consideration of the testimony Of
fered in said cause, that Southern Class
ification No. SO. together with its sup.
plements thereto, the same having been
adopted by the Mississippi Railroad
Commission at its regular January
meeting, 1912, to govern and apply on
| all railroads and common carriers doing
an intrastate business in the state OF
Mississippi, is unreasonable and unius,
and imposed an unnecessary burden upon
the people of Mississippi, and hat the
same is not practicable.
1t is therefore ordered by the Missis
sippi Railroad Commission that South
ern Classification No. SO, with its sup
plements thereto, now in force in Mis-
sissippi, be and the same is hereby alb
rogated, made null and void. as apply
ing Oh intrastate business in Mississip

No. 1" with its supplements and excep
tipns thereto be and the same is hereby
adopted as the classification to govern
and apply on all railroads doing an in
trastate business in the state of Mis-
sissippi.
1t is ordered that the action of tn
commission a%brogating and making null
and void Southern Classification No. 3S
and its supplements thereto, and adopt
ng in lieu and instead thereof Missis
sippi Classification No. l with its SUI
Elements, become effective upon all raj

PROTECT OYSTER INTERESTS
COMMISSION WILL ASK Sl2 600 TO
PROMOTE THE INDUSTRY.
'ySter Reefs in Mississippi Are Not
Productive and Must Be
Developed.

Jackson.-That the oyster industry
y, me state may be properly developed,
the Mississippi Oyster Commission will
ask the legislature for an appropriation
OF $4,000 to develop the reefs between
ocean Springs and ~Pascagoula. The
oysters on certain of the reefs are val
ueless because OF the small size and
are not mcrchantable. The appropria-
tion OF $4,000 will be in addition to
the regular appropriations allowed to
Inc commission of all money derived
from the revenues of the board which
amounted to $4,000 a year.
Senator jackson, one of the leading
members of the senate from South
Mississippi, introduced u %oncurrc
resolution in the upper house, author
izing the committee on fisheries and
game to visit the oyster reefs. The
Senate adopted the resolution, but it was
killed in the house.
1t is understood that the commission
will recommend that the tax on oysters
taken from Mississippi waters be in
creased to five cents per barrel, and
that the fishermen be allowed to re-
tain the shells. The tax has heretofore
been three cents, and the state re-
tanned possession of onc-third of the
shells.
The commission has been considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of having the oyster
law changed SO as to authorize the com
mission to lease oyster lands to fisher
men, such as is done in Louisiana and
some of the other states. This will
give the fishermen the right to improve
the beds, and will also give him the
right to protect them from depredation'
of others.
Such u law will tend to encourage
the industry, and give the state Il fan
greater revenue and bring Mississippi
reefs among the foremost in the coun
try.

BIG TOMATO CROP SURE.
Will Be Greater This Year Than Amy
Previous One.

The Crystal Springs tomato crop, the
product OF that celebrated district about
twenty-six miles south of jackson, bids
fair to be the largest this year of any
previous one. Tie Crystal Springs to-
matoes are known the country over. The
growers there for the past sixteen years
have been specializing OIL tomatoes, and
have gotten the art OF growing them
down to q science. They get the crop in
right behind the Florida crop, and OF
such large and uniform variety in the
tomatoes, that the Crystal Springs pro-
duct command a higher price than that
of any other section.
