and NOW THE CONSTABTES
FKEBO0STING SCHEME WILL BIZ
PROPOSED.
Think They Are Entitled to Same Com
pensation for Serving Processes
as Paid to Sheriffs.

Jacksonville campaign being waged
oil over the state by constables and con-
stables-elect in their effort to have a bill
passed by the next legislature fixing the
constables' fees the same as the sheriffs
for the same work is meeting with great
progress in the state and one of the
representatives from Jones county will
introduce the bill in the next session Of
the legislature.
According to a statement made by one
Of tAe constables in this district Rep
resentatives Jenkins and Laub and State
Senator Reed have pledged their support
to the measure and have promised to
use every effort in their power to get a
bin through.
The sonstables in this and adjoining
counties have been waging a campaign
with their friends and comforting with
the representatives and senators from
the various districts and other influen-
tial men, in their effort to have as many
supporters as possible when the measure
is introduced in the legislature.
The sonstables only think it fair that
they should receive the same amount of
money for serving papers as the sheriff
and the same for mileage. This would
not make any more expense for the
state as the cost bill on all legal papers
comes cut of the person on whom the
paper is served.
On the other hand there are many
legislators who are inclined 10 the
opinion that constables now receive
more than they are entitled to; that
in some counties the offices of justice
of the peace and constable are merely a
form Of legalized highway Robbery, and
there will be q strenuous opposition
shown to the proposed measure.

MISSISSIPPPS POPULATION
INTERESTING FACTS FURNISHED
BY GOVERNMENT CENSUS.
Whites Increasing While Blacks Are De
creasing-Few Foreigners in the
State.

Jacksop.-Statistics by the census
bureau Of the United States reveal some
interesting figures as regards the state
IF Mississippi.
1t has a total white population OF
's6,119, and a negro population OF Il
)09, 4S7. Besides the whites and blacks,
he other forms of population, such as
Indians and Mongolians, number only
1,5Os.
From these figures it is apparent that
the white population of the state forms
43.7 per cent of the total, as against
ALB per cent of the total in 1900, the
increase in white population proper
tionate to the whole being "a per cent
within the past ten years.
On the other hand, the negro popula'
ton has decreased from 5S.s per cent
OF the total in 1900 to 56.2 per cent OF
the total in 1910, a loss of 2.3 per cent
in the ten years for the black race,
which is really equivalent to an increase
in the proportion of whites of about
per cent.
Another interesting fact in connection
with Mississippi's census is that OF the
total white population of 7S6,11s, the
number of native born whites is 776,
72S. In other words, less than 10000
citizens of Mississippi are OF foreign
birth, and no state in the Union shows
a smaller percentage of foreigners.
The number of births of foreign par
entage is only 1e,4s5, or just IL per cent
of the total, whites and colored.
The conclusion from these figures II
that the negro population is on thu
wane in Mississippi, and the native
white population is steadily increasing
also that there has been practically nj
influx of foreign born residents.
The census of 1900 gave Mississippi
total population of 1.551,27O, and there
fore the increase for the ten years !
245,s44, which is a per cent increase o
1873.

A RESTRICTION ON PASSES.
Railroads Are Shutting Down Their Own
Employees.

Jackson.-A curtailment in the num-
Der of passes issued by the railroads is
expected as a result Of the rules of the
interstate commission govern
ing the issuing and recording of passes.
Heretofore the practice has in many
instances been for employees Of n road
to apply directly to an officer of an
other line for a pass.
Local railway officials who have been
accustomed to request officials of other
lines for transportation, having it sent
direct, have been given formal notice
that hereafter they must file their re-
quests for this exchange of favor with
superior officers, where It will go
through the regular channels
The evident purpose of this is to put
more restrictions on the issuance of
passes, and limit the amount of free
transportation

esteemed ladies in Mississippi and her

MORE AND BETTER LIVE STOCK.
Mississippi Farmers Will Invest $S,oo0.'
600 in High-Bred Cattle.

Jaskson.-That the farmers of Missis-
sippi will invest more than $5,ooO,c coo
this year in high-bred cattle imported
from ether states is the opinion ex-
pressed by live stock experts who have
returned from the annual meeting of the
Mississippi Live Stock and Dairy Asso-
ciatisn at Starkville.
More genuine interest is being mani
tested in the live stock industry than
ever before in the history of the state,
due 70 the agricultural evolution through
which the state is passing as a result
of the advent of the boil weevil, and
general realization of the fact that di-
versifed farming, crop rotation and
more modern methods must be adopted
in every department Of farm life.
The demand for standardized cattle
and hogs is general in all parts of the
state, and breeders are finding Missis-
sippi q fertile field for their operations.

BOARD of Health Bulletia.

Jaskson.-The Mississippi state board
of health has just issued another one of
it's admirable bulletins, designed especial
" to call the attention of the incoming
legislature to needed legislation, and at
the same time keep the members o. the
medical fraternity of the state posted
on health matters and the work bang
carried on by the board. Satisfactory
progres is being reported in all lines
Of endeavor in the state, and especially
in the eradication of hookworm, against
which there is no abatement in the fight,
and upon typhoid fever also. As a gen.
tie suggestion to the legislature it is
shown that Mississippi has the smallest
appropriation of any state for health
works O00-and is next to last in the
list, Arkansas being the tail-ender.
