WILL Be GREAT SWINE SHOW
HOGS AT STATE FAIR THIS FALL
FINEST IN SOUTH.
Number of Entries Will Double That Of
Last Fall List Of Premiums.
Special Premiums to Be Given
For Corn Club Boys.

Jackson.-That the Mississippi State
Fair has grown to be the greatest exhibi-
tion of live stock in the Southern States
is amply proven by the large number OF
applications for ground space, which Sec
rotary j. H. Mcdonald receives through
almost every mail. In the cattle, and
particularly in the swine department,
these applications have been most nu-
merous.
Last fall the Mississippi State Fair had
the largest swine exhibit of any fair in
the South, 1899 head of hogs being on
exhibit. All of last year owners have
re-applied for space, and great many
more besides, so that the secretary does
not hesitate to say that the swine shows
will be twice as large this fall as they
were last. This will make one of the
greatest swine shows ever held in this
section of the country.
All hogs entered at the fair must be
registered stock. Furthermore, all ex-
hibitors in the swine department must
make and file with the secretary an aft
davit that the swine exhibited has not
had a contagious disease among them for
three months prior to the opening of the
fair, or been exposed to infectious dis
eases for a period of thirty days prior to
the opening, before they can secure an
exhibitors ticket.
Unlike last year, all swine pens for
exhibiting animals will rent for $1.00
each; swine for sale, $500 each.
Auction sales of swine will be held
on the grounds this year on two different
dates. Here is chance to buy the best
blooded stock on the market.
The premium list has been prepared
for all the standard breeds of swine, in
Guiding Berkshires, Poland China, Duroe
Jerseys, Essex, Tamworth and Harp
shires.

Initiative and Referendum.

The recall, together with the initia-
tive and referendum, are institutions
OF Switzerland. where they have been
established for many years. The re-
call became law In this country for
the first time when Los Angeles put II
into it's city charter In 1908. From
what source In this country the idea
came is not exactly certain, but It
was q part Of the agitatioA Of the last
decade Of the nineteenth century,
which gave the country the Farmer5
Alliance. the Peoples party and sfmt
lar movements. There does not seem
to be any one mans name prominently
connected with the recall: II arose
out Of the popular enthusiasm for IN

the people directly responsible for I'M

them in the hands Of elected represenr

Wooing Covers Four Nations

In Havana the young folks Quarreieo
and Miss Andrews left the theatrical
company and Cuba In hurry ana
went to Mexico City.
That was precisely where the young
man could not follow her. De La Tore
wrote bushels of letters to Miss An
drews and kept a submarine cable hot
with messages imploring forgiveness.
Miss Andrews relented enough to
go to Pueblo, Colo. and there her lover
met her, and there was another quar-
rel after short interval of bHssful
peace. Miss Andrews vanished again
and this time brought up in 5fontreal,
where she was located by Senior De

MAJOR WOODRUFF RETURNS.
After Attending Meeting of Mississippi
River Commission.

vicksburg-Maj. ]. A. Woodruff, en-
gineer in charge of the Third engineers
Mississippi river district, returned from
st. Louis, where he was called to attend
a special meeting of the Mississippi
river commission to confer regarding the
proposed allotment for the Third district
for the coming year and the closing OF
the leyee crevasses in this district. The
commission agreed to recommend his plan
of the government paying the largest
share of the expense of closing crevasses
and the state levee boards paying part
of the cost. The matter will now be
taken up by the secretary of war and
Chief Engineer Bixby for approval, and
if approved the crevasses at Salem, Beu-
lab, Panther Forest and Lake Jefferson
will soon be under way.

Where to LOOK Tor Heroes.

Through many generations the hab-
It Of mind has become fixed aid with
rare exceptions we look fer heroism
on the field OF activity alone. 1t Is
easy to see In the midst Of battle

other, easy to see In the cab OF the
locomotive which Is rushing TO de-
struction as the engineer stands with
his hand upon the throttle, easy to see

NEED OF A BANKING LAW.
Five Failures Since Legislative Session
Adjourned.

Jackson.-Five state bank failures
have occurred in Mississippi since the adj
journment of the legislative session at
which bill providing an adequate sys-
tenn of supervision and inspection OF
banking institutions was defeated.
While all of the defunct institutions
had been in solvent shape for several
months prior to the legislative session,
and none of the failures created any sur
prise in financial circles, their closing
serves to illustrate the utter inadequacy
of Mississippis banking laws.
