IT'S franchise rights have expired

company a basis for amicable settle

nance and the company turns il
down, the city still holds the club
which was given it by the decision in
the Fort-st case-the right TO force
the company from those streets
where it's franchises have expired, a
right, the enforcement OF which would
paralyze the company completely.
True, II would deprive citizens tenn
porarily of street car traffic, but the
experience of other cities can be
cited to show that the cessation OF
car operation merely brings into
existence other modes of travel. The
car strike in Columbus, two years ago.

Conditions on State Farms

/ Col c. Harrison Parker, president
Of the penitentiary board of control
|snas issued the following statement
| Of crop conditions on the states sew
eral penal farms:
Agricultural operations on the
state farms are well advanced. We
| comm enced planting corn this week
at Angola. Seed cane is nearly all
down, except at Hope, where wet
weather has delayed work somewhat.
Eve have over $500 acres ploWed
and ready for corn planting, and have
commenced rough harrington of
plant cane at Angola.
I'VE are cultivating this year on
ali the farms $500 acres of land. OF
this, 1920 acres is in sugar cane,
3413 in corn and 1908 acres in oats
planted this winter, besides the acre
age planted in vegetables, etc, for
our own use.
eve will probably make some trial
paintings of cotton at Angola, to see
what can be done against the boil
weevil there. We are promised
some seed of new variety of long
staple, early maturing cotton, which
is said to bring % cents per pound,
being a variety of Sea Island. The
big money in cotton is in the long
staple kinds, but they are late and
slow maturing, and had to be
abandoned at Angola, as the boil
weevil destroyed about all the crop.
If we can get quick maturing sta
nj hn
delta lands to cotton.
f.Our policy will be to use no fer
tilizers on the farms, but to rotate
the crops and plant heavily in peas.
We have purchased for April delivery
5000 bushels of peas, besides what
we raised, and will put them down
on 1000 acres of land.
eve tried oats for the first time
this winter and have in more than
enough to feed our stock this spring
and summer.
with the large corn area at An
COLA, We expect to house there about
$4,000 bushels and have something
to. go. into hog raising on.
1.-THE water has not troubled us
any at Angola. The old levees
we're patched up and repaired as
bes88 we could in the limited time,
and the crevasses closed. We have
had from 100 to $50 men and so to
100 mules at work there since the
last overflow.
eve will begin work March 1 on
the new line of levees. These will
be up to the highest standard, and
capable of Withstanding any flood,
even three or four feet higher than.
that of 1912. It will take fully one
year to complete them, and they
will cost over 100000

Ann and six hands around, who ever

exchange that does the business for
the editor-kind words and church
social tickets. When you see an
editor with money, watch him. He'll
be paying his bills, and disgracing
his profession.
Never give money to an editor.
Make him trade 1t out. He likes d

in for three extra. copies by one Of
your weeping children, and when
she reads the generous and touching
notice about you, foreWarn her to
neglect to send the editor fifteen
cents. It would oTerwhelm him.
Money is a corrupting thing, and
the editor knows Il. What he wants
is your heartfelt thanks; then he
can thank the PRIMERS, and they can
thank the grocer. Give all your job
work to the travelling man, and then
ask for half rate for church notices.
Get your letterheads and stationery
printed out of town, and then flood
the editor with beautiful thoughts in
resolutions of respect and cards OF
thanks. They make you spicy read

local paper when you pick it up filled
with these glowing mortuary articles.
But money-seorn the filthy thing.
Don't let the pure, innocent editor
know anything about it. Keep that
for sordid trades-people who charge
for all their wares. The editor gives
his bounty away. The Lord loves a
cheerful giver. Don't worry about
the editor. He has a charter from
the state to act as the door mat for
the community. He will get out the
paper somehow, and stand up for the
town and Whoop itSup for you when
you run for office. Don't worry
about the editor-heIl get on. The
