Legality Of Indictments Against re-
batting Shippers to be
Decided
EMlGRANT QUESTION UP
Court Asked to Compel Steamship
Lines to Deport Rejected
Aliens

Washington, Jan. T." interstate
Commerce week" will be observed in
the Supreme Court OF the United
States beginning tomorrow. Prac-
tically all OF the questions to be ar
gued that week are connected with
railroad or steamship traffic.
The first case to be considered in
wolves the question as to whether
shippers may be indicted for accept
ing rebates unless it is shown that
the railroad concerned had posted
the regular rates at the railroad
station at point of origin
1t was held by Judge Speer, Of
Georgia, that the posting of the
regular rates in the community in
which the shipper lived was such an
important means Of information
that the shipper could not be indict-
ed, unless it was alleged the rates
had been posted This ruling oc-
cured in the indictments OF Harvey
c. Miller and Morris f, Miller, Of
Philadelphia, on charges OF accept
ing concessi2s for shipments over
the Merchants and Miners Trans
portation Co, jointly with the Sea-
board Air Line and with the At
lantic Coast Line.
Another case is the quarter-cen-
tury fight of Cincinnati shippers for
lower rates to Chattanooga and the
South. In 1894 shippers induced
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion to. order q sharp reduction OF
rates over the Cincinnati, New Or
leans and Texas Pacific road from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga. Courts
held that the commission could not
fix a future rate.
Later, when this power was con-
ferred upon IT, the Commission re-
duced first class rates to 70 cents,
and held that, while demand for
60 cent rate might be reasonable
on a road direct to Chattanooga, 1t
would not be so on the Louisville K
Nashville and connecting lines.
Furthermore, the commission held
that to reduce the rate to go cents
might make inequitable certain
rates from Memphis to Chattanooga
and to Atlanta, Birmingham, Mont
gomery and other southern cities.
The Cincinnati shippers made an
unsuccessful attempt in the COM
merce Court to bave the seventy
cent rate declared unjust and un-
reasonable.
Whether a loophole really exists
in the immigration laws such as
would allow steamship companies t"
shift the responsibility for bring
ing in immigrants of the excluded
classes, will be argued before the
court.
A New York court held that while
the purpose of Congress seemingly
was to make the steamship COM
panies pay the cost of returning
such immigrants as are denied en-
trance there was nothing in the law
TO prevent thea companies from cir
cumventing the law by requiring
these immigrants to put up security
in foreign ports to cover the cost of
returning them if rejected.
Another question will be whether
a special rate on coal may be given
railroads. Still other cases involv-
ing conflicts of jurisdiction between
the Interstate Commerce. Commis-
sion and the Commerce Court VIII
be heard.

As the government is now con.
templating either making use of or
making some restitution for dam
age done to lands outside the
levees which are damaged by high
water, it is interesting to know
just how such course would affect
Claiborne county. According to
the estimate made by the chancery
clerk for the government, there
are approximately 1850 acres of
such lands IN this county, and
their assessed value is $o8, ,374.
Thus it will be seen that if the
government would buy such land
at no more than its assessed value
the amount paid would be large.

Cotton dlnned.

The promising outlook. for th'
cotton crop in August was only e
will.o' the wisp, the results al
gathering time have not borne oul
the promise.
The census gatherers' statistics
show that up to Oct. 18th there
were only 1903 bales ginned in
Claiborne county, as compared
with 2I28 bales last year, a deficit
of 42o bales. Though much of the
tall.off is due TO the boil weevil, it
cannot be denied that the unfavor-
able season has been large factor
in the shortage.

An Interesting Gathering OF the
u. D. C's.


The annual mid year meeting of
the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy, which is always held on
the 2oth day of October, came last
Sunday afternoon in the chapel of
the Port Gibson Female College.
Promptly at S o'clock the presi
dent, Mrs. NJ. Berry, called for
order, and announced the object of
the meeting, which was for the
purpose of bestowal of the Cross
of Honor upon those who were
counted worthy to receive. Under
the regulations of the organization.
only two received these badges:
Mrs. Cooley Mann, the widow of
veteran, and Mrs. w. R. Magrud
er, the daughter of Confederate
soldier. In her opening remarks,
and in those when bestowing these
tokens of honor, Mrs. Berry was
happy in her conceptions of ap-
propriateness and of the signih-
canoe of these emblems which
mean so much to those of our
southland.
After the invocation by Rev. T.
B. HolIoman of the Methodist
church, and the singing of that
grand old hymn, elbow Firm
Foundation" by the College choir,
the speaker of the evening, Hon.
]. g. Spencer, delivered an adj.
dress on "The Mothers of the Con-
federacy," which, though brief,
was eminently appropriate, and
awakened memnries both sad and
pleasing.
After the bestowal of the Cross
es, the meeting adjourned with
benediction by Rev. c. M. Chap
man, President of the College.

der, this marks the date of the last
exercise of this character, and a

The name of the Chamberlain
Hunt Academy at Port Gibson has
been familiar to our people as long
as the memory of some of our citl-
zens 60 back, and in the Presby-
terian church it has become a
household word, standing for all
that is best in the preparatory
work FOR boys. For number of
years it was military school, and
many precious hours were wasted
and many weary miles were walked
when boy did wrong and had to
be demerited, and then had to
stake it out" in tramping up and
down with a gun on his shoulder,
the admiring world looking on.
Now the infinitely better and
wiser plan obtains of an industrial
system. And now when a boy
tran sgresses he is sent to get
saw or hatchet, or maybe just
hammer, and with his tools is set
to work on something worth while.
The result being that already has
the college a handsome collection
of student made furniture and oth-.
er exhibits, and the boys are rapid
ly developing the right sort of
pride in their work and apprecia
ton of the other fellows. For those
who do not care for the lathe and
similar work there is the great out
of doors, and into it the boys 60 to
"make corn, cotton and garden
sass" and to make it right.
The change has proven more
satisfactory, and certainly the ex-
hibit at the fair makes better i'm.
preston and shows a greater ad-
vancement than could any amount
of hours of military tramping on
the parade grounds.
Some of the furniture shown is
excellently made, and the manipu-
lation by one of the students of the
turning lathe this morning drew
large throng all the while. This
young man is skilled in bis work,
but frankly tells the visitors that
there are others equally SO at the
college, and that they all love the
pretty work. Well.made mission
chairs are shown, chests of draw
ers, delightfully-made shaving mir
rors, tables, chihoniers, etc., but
the most attractive and interesting
of all the displays is in the eKauis-
itely finished cypress, finished after
the manner OF the oull IN Japan'
and eHecting the richest, rarest
appearance. These dark, exquis
itely handsome cypress trays are
finished with brass mangles, and
certainly have an air of unusual
elegance, worthy to adoru the
hapdsomest dining room in the
land.
Canned goods OF excellent quail
ity attest the boys ability to do the
entire thing, even though they
must visit the kitchen to do it. !

BOTH GAMES ARE
TAKEN BY PIPPINS

Waua Walla, Wash, Sept. 2,-La
Grande made it two in a row, taking
the first game yesterday afternoon
by the score of to 3 and the second
game to 0. The first contest was
spread over II innings while the Sec
ond just got over, running but five
frames.
Both games were excellent from
the spectators viewpoint, there being
lots of hitting and catching, the most
sensational play was in the last half
of the fifth inning when Leonard's
high fly went into Ford's hands at
second but he tossed it into the air
and Luttrell caught it.
In the IL inning game Mauser and
Mountain were opponents and both
did fair.
Walla Walla was the first to score
and took two in the first inning. Chill
ders hit a high fly to the infield and
Ford and Naughton mixed, Childers
Eetting to second. Harmon sent a
two Dagger to left field scoring Chill
utTS. luOlI PSbll > ANp oebNFNNA NAAA SNS -
second scored Harmon.
In the fourth La Grande took a
couple. Jamison sent a three bag
ger to center and Naughton's two bag
ger along the left base line scored
him. McBride's single brought in
Naughton.
In the fifth La Grande forged
ahead Luttrell hit between third and
short; King sacrificed him to second;
Jsmison knocked an easy one to Chill
ders, who instead of tagging Luttrell
threw to first, his sights being raised
so that he overthrew and Luttrell
scored.
Wana walla, tied the score in the
seventh. Martini hit safe and ad-
vanced on Mauser's bingle. A balk
on Mountains part advanced both
and Martini came home on a wild
pitch.
There was nothing doing then till
the eleventh when Fitchner connected
with the ball for three bags and came
tIsme on Mountains single.
The score:
