5 BALES COTTON have
BEEN RECEIVED HERE

Two bales of new crop cotton were
received here yesterday, making five
bales thus far received in Hatties-
burg.
Mr.. R. c. Hauenstein this morning
received a letter from a prominent
cotton factor in Vicksburg, congrat-
ulating this section on being first with
this seasons crop.
The letter contained the information
that the boil weevil are very much
less numerous in the section north OF
Vicksburg than at the same time last
season and that but little damage has
thus far been wrought by this pest.
The prediction was made by the
writer that the yield in Mississippi
this year will be quite up to last years
crop.

Railroad Commission
Fixes Rate on Gravel

the whole number of miles of such
shipment.
The adoption of the above, howev-
er, shall not prohibit any railroad
from transporting sand or gravel at
a less rate when used for the can
struction of public highways, or pub
lie buildings.
That this order take effect and be
in force from and after the 4th day
of September, 1912.
Ordered this the Goth day of Aug.
ust, 1912
The Railroad Commission authoriz-
ed the following statement regarding
the rates on sand and gravel after
passing the above resolution:
There is not subject in the state
that is of more vital Importance to
the taxpayers than that of construct
ing good roads. During the present
year hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth Of bonds have been is
sued by the taxpayers of Mississip-
pi for this purpose. One of the
greatest hindrances of this work is
the rate charged by railroads for
the transportation of sand and gravel
the price charged therefor being so
exorbitant as to be almost prohib-
itory Mississippi has sand and grav-
ell of her own to construct every road
within her boundaries. If the pub
lie roads were so constructed, it ap-
pears to us that it would be a good
