The Scientific American, says an
exchange, has calculated what is
the maximum size of eleven pound
packages that will be accepted for
conveyance by parcel post. The
rule is that the length and girth
combined must not be more than
70 inches. Accordingly, if the
package is a cube, it can be 14.4
inches on side; or, if oblong, it
can be foot in height and width
and two feet in length; or, if a
sphere, it can have diameter of
1888 inches. The oblong package
has 40 more inches capacity than
the cube and 707 more than the
sphere. 1t will be well for the
reader to cut this out and paste it
up for reference.

SPECIAL SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE

The Legislature has been caller
to meet in extra session on June
10TH. Gov. Brewer in his proc
lamation calling the extra session
mentions only one subject THE
proper financing of the Mississip.
pi Levee District. Under Sec.
ton 121 of the constitution the
Legislature cannot consider OF
act upon any other subject OF
matter except impeachment and
examination into the accounts of
state officers. However. after it
is assembled, it can act upon any
matter submitted to it by the
Governor.
Rumor hath it that the Govern
or's veto of the elective judiciary
amendments will be taken up;
that the accounts of the Peniten-
tiary Trustees will be examined;
and lastly that South Mississippi
intends to "hold up" the Delta
and give that section no relief
unless South Mississippi is given
more school money and more rep
resentption in the Legislature.
The extra session ought to be
finished in a week. 1t may last
a month.

THE RAILROADS.

Macon and Noxubee county
have been tremendously inter-
ested in having the proposed rail-
road from Jackson to Birming-
ham come here. The route has
been surveyed and no engineer
ing difficulties hamper the prof.
ect. The matter of tonnage and
revenue seems entirely satisfac-
tory. Yet no move is being
made toward building the line.
Persons in close enough touch
with the higher authorities hav-
ing control of the project to know
whereof they speak. allege three
things as influencing these au-
thorities in deciding to build no
more lines in Mississippi for the
present at least-hostile and i'll
considered legislation, severe and
restrictive rules and regulations
of the state railroad commission,
and excessive verdicts in damage
cases against railroads. This
last is especially emphasized as a
great deterrent to railroad build
ing in Mississippi.
That there is much justice in
some of these complaints car
scarcely be doubted. So far as
this county is concerned. the last
has no standing here. Our juries
have been very fair and impair
tial to the only railroad running
through the county, and this fair
ness will stand the county il
good stead whenever the pro
posed line from Jackson to Birm
ingham is built.
