Montgomery, october e.--Farmers in tho Southeastern states are beginning to ap- preciate the value of increasing their crop yields and are paying much atten- lion to diversified farming, according to the eighteenth annual report of the South ern Railway company. which was made public today.
 The report was for the year ending June 30, 1912. and shows that during the F months $2 100000 in preferred dividends was paid. Comparing this with s1,200,0 900 in 1911, the increase was s1,500,000. The expenses of operating the railroad sys- tenn were s43, 6.S9, and 7osS.0S miles of trackage were operated during the period. In 1911 7041 95 miles were in operation.
 Referring to the progress of agriculture in the district traversed by the railroad, the report says; "Southeastern farmers are appreciating more fully their mani fold opportunities and progressive men in all parts of the section are demonstrat- ing the practicability of greatly increas- ing the average yields per acre of all the staple farm crops. Notable work fin this direction has been done by the com pany's cotton culture department. 2
 The cotton culture department having demonstrated it's efficiency not only ganst the boil ueeyil, but also in se- curing increased yields per acre, has been merged into a larger department of farm improvement work. created for the purpose of extending the same system of cooperative farm demonstration work

IT WILL NOT COMPLY
Declares Law Violates Constitution and Curbs Freedom of the Press. Would Not Assist in
 Carrying of Mails

New York, October '9.-Suit to test the right of the government to enforce the federal law on August 24, 1912, requir- ing newspapers and periodicals to pub fish their circulation figures twice year.
 and imposing other publicity require ments, was filed in the United States dis trict court here today by the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin com pany publishers of the Journal of Com merce.
 The suit Is directed against Postmas- ter General Hitchcock, United States Dis trict Attorney Wise and Postmaster Nor gan of New York. The petitioner charged the law is unconstitutional and prays for temporary injunction restraining It's enforcement until final adjudication.
 It also requests that the defendants be required. by subpoena, to answer. Back of the action, according to Robert C. Morris. of counsel for the complainant, is the American Newspaper Publishers association. The association declined re- gently to file list and the Journal of Commerce. MT. Morris said, in filing it's petition. has the sanction and cooperation of the association.
 
 of 25.ooo newspapers and periodicals in the country affected by the law. It charges
 that the law is void because it violates the federal constitution and particularly the first and fifth amendments and abridges the freedom of the press. The law is characterized as of no benefit l to the postoffice or any other department
 of the government in as much as obedi- once by the periodicals and newspapers would not ''aid or assist in the operation of the postoffice department or in the carrying of mails or the regulation thereof"
 In its petition the complaint announces 1t will not comply with the law for the reasons given and declares the defend ants are able to enforce the law by denying the complaints the use of the malls. With reference to the portion of the Inv which requires that all printed
 matter for which there is any compensa- ton received shall be labelled "adyer- tisement." The petition reads. "All such matters are matters of busi-
 ness arrangement or a favor or other- wise between your complainant and its advertisers, and such provision of the act is not necessary or proper to assist the government or any department or official thereof to carry out or perform any power or duty intrusted or granted to the United States by the several states under the constitution or otherwise" It is charged also that the law. if en- forced, would result in the confiscation of complaints property without due pro- cess.
 Tt is not within the power of Con gress," the complainant confines. Ito en- act said act: and 1t is an usurpation by Congress of powers expressly reserved to the several states. and is constitution ally eaffecting matters with which the | several states of the United States alone have the right to treat.

GOVERNOR BREWER BACK FROM EUROPE Mississippi Executive Will Explain Absence at
 Proper Time

Jackson. Miss, October 9.--(special.) J. Governor Brewer tells where he has been. but withholds, for the present, the object of his journey into Q far land. The gov ernor was at his office yesterday morn- ing for the first time In about one month and is looking the picture of health
 The newspaper men were among his early callers, and got a cordial. vice like handshake, accompanied by several of his broad, characteristic smiles, but their curiosity was not fully gratihed It was generally believed the governor Of Missis- sippi had been in Europe-at least it had been so stated timo ana again during the past several days. but there was a dou- ble or triple conjecture as to why he had crossed the waters. It had been noised about that he had gone to negotiate a sale of the Wesson Cotton and Woolen mills, others declared he was in Europe to gather up the old and repudiated Planters and Union bank bonds. while there were those who insisted he was there on private business. involving tho English syndicate Speculation has there- fore been rife and the curious were on ths tip toe of expectancy. pending the re- turn of the gove nor. expecting. of course, he would tai the public into full confidence immediate P. Color Is lent to the Wesson NH theory in explanation of the governors tril, because of the un- derstanding that he spent most of his time at Manchester while in England. He would not have gone to Manchester after Planters bank bonds but rather would have spent his time in Thread- needle street, London where bonds are said to be accumulated mountain high-- and among them those bearing the prom ise of the state of Mississippi to pav about sSo0O.ooo squandered three-quarters of a century ago by the Planters and Union banks.
 Evidently Governor Brewer has good reason for not taking the public into his confidence yet awhile. He promises. however, to do so in due course of time.
