THIS A COSTLY MISTAKE.
Shipment Kinds Cattle Improperly
Carded En- Route.

Jackson.-A minds county cattle firm
lost about $3.50 recently because some
one made the mistake of carding the
cars in which the cattle were shipped
with tags bearing the words Southern
CATTLE"
Commissioner of Agriculture Blakes-
lee is in receipt Of a letter from the in
spector in charge Of TIE national stock
yards, in Illinois, explaining the mis-
take.
Kinds county cattle are exempt, I'M
der dipping conditions, from the rule
applying to Southern cattle"
After the mistake of carding the cars
was made the dipping cattle were put
with shipments that had not been
dipped. Hence the owners were forced
to sell them at a lower price than they
should have received. 1t is estimated
| the mistake cost the shippers fully $3.50
The inspector wrote the explanatory
| letter to show that no blame could b'
attached to the stock yards officials
as the cars, when they arrived there
were carded Southern cattle"

STANDARD FILES DEMURRER
ANSWER MADE TO ROSS COLLINS
ANTITRUST SUIT.
Law Declared to Be Unconstitutional.
General Denial Made of Allega-
lions That Company Operated
in Restraint of Trade.

observation-disclosures has been made
by the Standard Oil Company to the
suit filed about three months ago in
Lauderdale county by Attorney General
Ross A. Collins, alleging a violation Of
the state antitrust law and asking for
a penalty amounting to $75o,OO0.
The demurrer was prepared by Mayes
& Mayes of Jackson, representing the
defendant company, and a general de.
NAL is made to all allegations that the
compay has acted in restraint of trade.
The defendant demurs to that portion
of the bill alleging that the defendant
has exposed OF the same day, in various
cities, towns and villages, its products
at different prices, and cites chapter
119 of the laws Of 1908, as not under
taking to make such sale a restraint
in trade, and even if sail chapter did
so do, it would then and thereby be
unconstitutional under the provisions of
the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution.
Denial is made Of monopoly, denial
of attempt to destroy competitions, OF
that there is any cause for action. In
substance the defendant demurs to al
of the allegations made under the pro
visions of chapter 119 of the laws o.
1908, and alleges that certain provis
ions are in conflict with the constitu
ton of the United States as being
deprivement of property without du'
course of law.

POOR JOHN NEATLY CAUGHT

He had returned home in the ave-

or two.
John, my love" said his little wife
sweetly, did you post that letter l
Ave you this morning."
Yes, my pet" said John, hiding his
conscience-stricken face behind the

"Wh-what is WHAT" gasped John.
What is your answer, dear?' said
his little wife. clearly. That letter
was addressed to you"
Addressed to me?" exclaimed John

And then, like a foolish man, he
fell into the trap and produced the
letter from his pocket to see. The
envelope was not addressed to him;
but a long and severe lecture was
shortly after.

AMENDMENTS DEFEATED.
Official Returns From Fifty-Eight
Counties In.

Jackson.-Statc Secretary j. w. Pow
er had tabulated returns from So coun-
ties that had sent in official returns OF
the state election. The amendments to
the state constittion all failed beyond a
doubt according to the latest official
figures. A majority of the total cast SO
far would be 1860, and the third, or
initiative and referendum amendment,
received only 19,447, being now more
than 5000 votes behind. The 21 coun-
ties to be heard from will not overcome
this sum according to the best informa-
ton to be had.
The first amendment, to change the
style of legislative bills, has so far re-
ceived 1854 votes, OF 1900 less thai
enough to carry. The amendment to al
low nine jurors to decide civil cases re
ceived the largest vote, 22,246, still
about $500 behind.

exhibition, which took the first premium
at the state fair in Jackson, in charge
OF the county government agricultural

Mrs. Louise B. Moore, superintendent

CANNOT AGREE
ON FRE|GH! RATES
RAILROAD OFFICIALS AND COMMITS.
SIONERS MEET.
SAND AND GRAVEL SCHEDULE
Injunction Suits Now Pending in Federal
Court Restraining State Commission
From Enforcing Rates.

Jackson.-It seems as if the contest
ed rates fixed by the Mississippi railroad
commission upon sand and gravel will
have to be fought out in the courts.
There was a conference held between
the commission and representatives from
practically every railroad affected in the
state. After the conference DR.. F. NJ.
Sheppard, president of the commission,
wa aked a to the outcome and wheth-
er or not the commission and officials
had been able to reach a settlement.
DIR. Sheppard replying said: "Abou.
all 1 feel at liberty to say in this re-
gard is that the proposition made to us
by the railroad officials was not salts
factory and was declined" He refused
to say what the proposition referred to
was.
Will the members of the commission
recede from their position? was asked
the doctor, but he failed to give any
direct reply.
There are now injunction suits pending
in the federal court in which the diff
ferent roads seek to restrain the com
mission from making effective the rat
recently fixed by them .on sand an
gravel. The contention of the carrier
is that the rate is such as to render tn
hauling of this commodity unprofitabl
to them.
At the time the commission passe
the rate a statement was given out fror
one member in which it was set fort
that a rate had never been in force o
sand and gravel; that in view of tn
activity in road building such a rate wa
essential and that the commission ha
fixed one that was equitable to both til
carriers and to the public.
The injunction suit will not be argue

there only remains in the state treasury
the sum of $1,7S1.54. The sums to be re-

very small in comparison with the
amounts to be paid out, so that the

Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour

VETS CAN USE WARRANTS.
State Paper Is Good to Pay Taxes
With.

Jackson.-It has been suggested that
the Confederate Veterans of this state
can use their pension warrants. to be
paid this month, for the payment
Of taxes, in case the treasurer cannot
take them up. This paper is worth face
value for this purpose. A veteran could
in all probability carry his warrant to
some one who pays a heavy tax and dis
pose of it at par. The party purchasing
could use it in payment of his taxes and
the veteran would have his money
promptly.
A large number of the old soldiers
need their money when it is due them,
and it will work a hardship on many Of
them to be kept out of it for any length
of time.
