lBu Associated PreSS.l

New Orleans, Jan. 31.-Indictments,
charging conspiracy to violate the
neutrality laws in connection with
the proposed shipment of large guam
tity of arms and ammunition to Mexi.
can insurgents, were returned by the
Federal Grand Jury today against the
firm of A. Baldwin & Company, a
large hardware exporting house of
New Orleans. Other persons were
indicted also, but their names were
not made public.
1t is understood the indictments are
connected with the proposed shipment
of $4,000 worth of rifles, machine
guns and ammunition, purchased here
by two Mexican revolutionary agents
and intended to be shipped from New
Orleans to Vera Cruze last August
for the Felix Diaz revolt. Federal
authorities expect soon to apprehend
the Mexicans who we're indicted.
The shipment of arms and ammuni
ton involved in the indictments IL

sents part only of half million dollars

FARMERS URGED To
ADOPT BETTER
METHODS
SHOULD COOPERATE IN THE d.
RECTIoN OF REGULATING
SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 31.-Farmers
were urged to adopt more scientific
methods in marketing their crops by
several speakers at the fifth national
corn exposition Thursday. Tillers of
the soil, it was declared, are the only
class of people who do not put a
price on their products but are forced
to accept whatever terms are offered.
AS a remedy for this alleged evil it
was suggested that farmers should CO.
operate in the direction of regulating
the supply so as to stimulate the de-
mand
1t was national farmers union day
at the exposition and the annual mid
winter conference of the organization
convened at the grounds. Among the
prominent speakers were Clarence
Poe, Raleigh; ]. D. Eggleston, Wash
ington, chief of field service in rural
education Of the United States bureau
of education; DR.. Bradford Knapp,
Col. E. j. Watson, commissioner of
agriculture in South Carolina; L. M.
Rhodes, president of the Tennessee
Farmers Union; e. w. Dabbs, presi-
dent of the South Carolina Farmers
Union; Charles S. Barrett, president
of the National Farmers Union.
Director Horace Plunkett, Irish
leader of agricultural reform, was I'M
avoidably prevented from attending
the exposition. He is expected to de-
liver an address today, which will be
celebrated as Educational Day"

PRINTING THE NEWS.

A subscriber of the Baltimore Sun
criticized that paper for publishing
news concerning smallpox in that city
on the ground that such publications
are harmful to the business interests
of the city The same objection has
been made in Montgomery and other
cities.
ut must be remembered that a
newspaper, like wise merchant, must
build not for the present day alone
but for the future" says the Sun.
IF the news of the few cases of small.
pox in Baltimore is frankly printed,
that may keep few people out of the
city for a moment. But the reader
of the paper that habitually practices
frankness will know that when there
is no news of smallpox there Is no
smallpox, and he will know that when
that newspaper says there are two
cases in the city, 1t means two cases
and not two hundred. A few years
ago the report was circulated that the
newspapers Of San Francisco were
suppressing the fact that there was
bubonic plague in that city. Did that
help the California city? Not at all!
1t simply has created the impression
in the minds Of many people that the
plague is always existent there. More
over, the effect upon our own people
is to be considered. II the news re.
garding any contagious disease is
printed, both the health officials and
the people themselves will be stirred
to far greater efforts toward the ex
termination Of that disease.
"In matters of this sort there Is
only one rule for the honest newspa
per, and that is to lay its cards or
the table, face up.-Montgomery Jour
nal.

SELECT CITY FOR
college DAY"
FEB. 9TH.
NUMBER OF CITIES IN STATE ARE
MAKING BIDS FOR THE IN
TERcoLLEGIATE EVENT.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 31.-The execn-
tive committee of the Mississippi In
tercolliage Association will meet at
the Edwards Hotel in Jackson at 4
O'Clock Friday afternoon, Feb. 7, to
select the city for holding the next an
nual college Day." on the second Fri
day in May.
Members of the committee are Dr.
B. M. Walker of the A. & M. College,
president of the association and chair
man Of the committee; DR.. ]. w. Pro
vine, Mississippi College, vice presi-
dent of the association; Prof. e. Y
Burton of Millsaps College, secretary;
Prof. ]. w. Bell, University of Missis-
sippi, treasurer.
The program of events on college
Day" will include annual track meet
athletic features, annual champion
ship baseball game, and the state ora
torical contest. The latter will take
place in the evening.
Mississippi cities who are bidding
for the event are Jackson, Meridian
Hattiesburg, Columbus, Aberdeen and
Greenwood. It is believed other places
will make efforts to secure it before
the committee is called to order.
At recent meeting of the Jackson
board of trade the question of this
event was discussed, and a motion tc
guarantee a certain sum to the asso
citation was carried. The board mem
bers discussed the matter thoroughly
and all of them were enthusiastically
in favor of trying to induce the execu
tive committee to name Jackson. The
board of trade was quick to believe

THE STRANGER AT HOME.

He had been to Mombazzazza, and
he'd visited old Lhassa. He had been
to ancient Cairo and the Cape.
He was never known to bungle on
the subject of the jungle, or the habits
of the mongoes and the ape.
He had travelled with the Switzer
and the Polak and the Fritzer He
had freckles from the burning mid
night sun.
He had dallied in Sienna and de-
lighted in Vienna, where the life of
song and dance is never done.
He had chased the festive scarab
with a donkey and an Arab, in the
land of Cleopatra and the Sphinx.
He had skirted the Canaries and the
coast of Buenos Ayres. He had scaled
the Mongol submits Of the Chinks.
Like a fellow with a pass-key, he
familiar was with Glasgie. He had
idled many days at Singapore.
He had fitted down to Rio and
jinrikkied round Toxic. Like book
he knew the Adriatic's shore.
No, there never was a hotter, more
persistent old globe-trotter to be
found at any time on any map.
From Columbus down to Peary, in
their travels wide and weary, you
could never find the equal of the chap.
But the funny thing about him,
though no one could ever fout him
when he talked Of Hong-Kong, Peters

He could never say the first thing

on the subject Of the. scenery at

Though he'd seen the haunts OF
Borgia, he had never been to Georgia

And his fate? All, what a pity!

And frozen corpse they found him,
with his Baedekers around him, in
the shadow of the house where he
was born!-From Judge.

WAREHOUSES; ARE
WORTH ABOUT
80 PERCENT
HOUSES IN STATE LISTED AT $21o-
900 WILL BRING NOT MORE
THAN $4,000.
Special to The Ne1os.

Special to The Ne1os.
Jackson, Miss Jan. 31.-That the
actual valuation of the fifty-six ware
houses owned by the concern will not
reach more than 80 per cent of the
book valuation is indicated by the re-
port now being framed by receivers
of the National Warehouse Company.
In brief, these warehouses, listed
as assets at an aggregate valuation
of about $4,000, cannot be sold for
more than S65,000. Some of them, &C.
cording to the receivers, are not worth
more than 10 per cent of book valua-
ton. Others range from 20 to so per
cent. 1t is believed that general
average of 80 per cent is approximate
ly correct.
The investigation of the books shows
that President G. R. Hightower pro-
tected money alleged to be due him,
amounting to 10000, with a first
mortgage on the warehouses at BY
halia, Calhoun City, Iuka, New Al.
bany, Pontotec and Ripley, and second
mortgages on warehouses at Coffee
vile and Oxford, and a tract of land
in Lamar county. These mortgages
are made in favor of Mrs. Sallie High
tower wife of the former president,
and are said to have been made to Sc
cure money advanced to the company
The total liabilities of the concern
thus far listed amounted to about
$1S0000, but it is understood that cot,
ton claims yet to be filed will bring
