Der of the Board against whom
it might become his official duty
to proceed.
The legislature passed a con
current resolution endorsing
Gov. Brewer in the investigation
which he is having made in the
affairs of the penitentiarY. A
bill authorizing the Governor to
borrow $40, 900 with which to
further prosecute the investiga-
ton was introduced.
Both bills will doubtless be
passed today and signed by the
Governor and the legislature ad-

From statistics gathered by
the agricultural department the
shortage in meat producing ami
mails is steadily becoming great
err. For the past six years there
has been a steady decrease which
has amounted to thirty per cent
yearly and for the first six
months of this year there has
shown a decrease of thirteen per
cent. With the failure on the
part of the farmers to produce
meat animals it is evident that
within a few years the great
bulk of the people can't afford to
pay the prices that meat will
bring.

The President and eighteen
other officials of the United
Mine workers of America have
been indicted in the federal court
of Charleston, W. Va, on a
charge of violating the Sherman
anti trust law. The indictment
charges that the defendants con-
spired with other coal operators
to raise wages and to prevent
competition in coal mining.
Heretofore indictments under
the Sherman antitrust law have
sought to prevent the operators
from keeping down the wages Of
employees.

TUPELO, MISS, JUNE Is, 1918

A militant suffragette at Lon
don threw herself on the race
course in front of horses and was
struck and killed by the Kings
horse. Just how she hoped to
influence the nation by such a
rash deed can never be imagined.
The use of force by the militants
in England has caused that
country grave trouble and re-
suited in loss of considerable
property.

The appearance of the boil
weevil in South Mississippi has
caused considerable uneasiness
among the business men and
farmers of that section and org
anizations are being effected to
relieve the section of the pest.
1t is estimated that it will cost
in the neighborhood of $1.85 an
acre to pick the weevils from the
cotton. When this IS done in
early stages a good crop can be
made.

The north and east was visited
by a severe cold spell the first of
the week, much damage being
done to gardens and fruit. In
New York state there was ice in
several places and~snow fell as
far south as Chicago. The south
felt the effects of the storm and
the thermometer fell 20 degrees
on Monday. Cotton was not
perceptibly damaged but the
plant was held at a standstill
during the cold weather. Fruit
was beginning to appear in the
form of squares, but no progress
was made during the week.
