4 RN1ER0US PRACTICE.
Railroad Company Appeals to
Mississippi Farmers in the
Interest Of Its Patrons and
Employees.

The killing of live stock. while
trespassing upon the waylands of
American railroads, has for years
been gradually increasing, ard
more lately to an alarming extent,
resulting in an unnecessary waste
and another contribution to the
high cost of living. In Mississip-
pi, the situation is especially bad,
as evidenced by the fact that, on
the waylands of the Illinois Cen-
trail and Yazoo & Mississippi VAL
ley Railroads alone, more than six
thousand head Of stock. or "a per
cent Of the total for the system,
are aunualfy killed, this while but
% per cent of our total mileage is
operated in your State. Claims
paid on this account have increas-
ed to a point where the resulting
expense now amounts to tYeineu-
dous annual drain upo7, our gross
revenues and, with the fake damage
suit industry and other evils from
which We have suffered. it is ci:e
of the charges which, in the last
anslysis. effects materially the
pocket books Of the people them
selves.
We have gone TO considerable
expense, in the WY OF fenci ng
constructing cattle gvarls, ETC.. in
Ian endeayor to overcome the pres
ent situation, but despite every
effort it has grown entirely beyond
our direction and control. 1t is
one OF these troubles requiring the
|attentiou Of our farmer neighbors
to correct, and in the interest OF
our patrons and employees, whose
safety is menaced by this grave
danger. we appeal, for your CO.
Ioperation and support.
\ 1t Is a we'll known fact that trains
are frequently derailed BY striking
an otherwise. harmless COW, and
lconditious are now so bad that
ltrainmen in Mississippi your own
4 people largely-must perfom their
]duties under great Strain
We appeal to ) ou. therefore, to
discontinue permitting your cattle
| to roam at large and to see to it
that private gates. opening on our
| way lands. are kept closed. There
| already Is law forbidding this
practice, but we are laath to in
woke it, preferring to acquaint the
! good people Of Mississippi with the
exit eme urgency Of the matter,
feeling that your usual fairness
and regard for the rights and the
welfare of others will prompt the
immediate adoption Of necessary
4 corrective measures.
In common with other railroads
Ne have for some time been waging
an active campaign in the interest
of Safety First, and good results
| have so far attended our efforts.
The matter Of stock trespass. how
lever, is almsot entirely within
your control.
Won't you please. therefore,
4 unite in assisting US to better very
bad condition?

RuBONIC PLAGUE STILL
THREATENS.

am in receipt of a circular let
ter from the state board of health
of Mississippi relative to the APP
pearance of bubonic plague III New
Orleans.
In July 1912, plague infected
rat was found in New Orleans. A
conference of health bodies of the
Gulf STATES was had-war was de-
clared on the rat. $40, 900 was
spent in New Orleans for the de-
<truction of rats and then they all
went to sleep and slept two years,
when human case of plague turn-
ed ND and all told. they have had
18 cases of human plague and half
hundred infected rats, extend
ing over the city of an aera OF one
mile vide by Eve miles long. The
city realizes now the gravity OF the
situation and has already appropri-
ated $780, 600 for ths extsrmina-
tion OF rats, which should have
been done two years ago,
In the past two years, doubtless
many infected rats have been ship
ned out of New Orleans in freight
cars and boat as there has been no
inspection until the last month, and
some Of them may have come to
our towns. The bubonic plague
can only be carried by the rat and
Aea, just as malaria is carried by a
mosquito, or typhoid fever by the
house hy, or the rocky mountain
fever by the wood tick, or infantile
paraly sis by the small stable fly.
Ithas been found that rats frequent
ly associate with ground sqirrels in
their dens aud thus infect them
with the plague.
A dozen OF more years ago San
Francisco permitted itself to be-
come infected aud several neareby
cities caught it from them. and not
withstanding hundreds Of men
spent their time in hunting rats and
squirrels, the public health report
Tor the past week shows that infect
ed animals are still being found.
What shall we do about tue stu
alton? A circular letter has been
sent to the mayors Of all large
town in Mississippi, among them
being Greenwood, ,Greenville and
Clarksdale. calling on them to
Appropriate money to pay fer
\ general "clean-up's and a rat
killing. A general cleanup is al
ways good for the health and we,
on this occasion, should not only
do a general clean up. but should
keep it up and watch for rats every
day.
Occasionally you find q rat dead
from sickness. not from violence
or poison, Iwould like to impress
upon all. the Importance of send
ing all such rats te the Laboratory
State Poard of Health at Jackson,
where they can be examined for
plague. / hope this scare will
bring to our minds the Importance
Of building our houses and barns
rat-proof.
Our doctors should all be wide
awake to our danger and should
promptly report every case which
could be called suspicious

Washington, Nov. 2.-The first in

capital of the federal reserve banks
are due today. 1t is expected that all
twelve banks will be opened stimuli

One of the reasons for selecting q
later date than that suggested by

sorts, as well as the reserve notes to
be issued under the new system. One
Of tho first direct efforts of inaugu-

KILLED HIMSELF FOR LOVE
OF MOVIE GIRL

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 2.--Because
he fell in love with a beautiful "girl
on the movie SCREEN" though he had
never seen the original, G. v. Will
liams, 10 years old. drank carbolic
acid in his room on Whitehall street
late Friday afternoon and was found
dead, with the picture of Alice
Joyce, motion picture star, smiling
down on him from the wall. An open
Bible was by his side. The boy came
to Atlanta several months ago from
Middlesex, N. c., and went to work
for railroad company in the offices.
He was lonely in the city, and made
few friends. He began going to
the movie shows. and his acquaint-
ances say he was especially faithful
in following the pictures in which
Alice Joyce was featured. He talked
often of her beauty, and expressed a
desire to meet her some day.

Johnson, local manager of the Or

Citrus Exchange, "has already
drugged the market, and reduced the
price of grapefruit to the lowest
level. Up to the 9th 1925 cars,
mostly grapefruit, had been rushed
to northern cities, Cutting the
markets with quarter of million
boxes and bringing a decline of so
cents on the box, and as result
grapefruit is now down to 81 per
box delivered, and hard TO sell at
that-a deplorable condition which
was brought about by the shipment
of green fruit. OF course, some of
the fruit was practically ripe, hav-
ing been raised on the shell ham

in Dade and Lee counties, where the
trees had blossomcd earlier, and
where the fruit natures earlier than

EDISON AIDS NAVY MEN

New York, Nov. "A special
type Of storage battery for use in
engines has been invented
by Thomas A. Edison, which will
replace the present lead batteries.
Mr.. Edison has been working on this
battery for two years, but 1t was only
recently announced by him to party
of 200 from the Brooklyn navy yard,
headed by Lieutenant Sterling, who
visited the Edison plant in West Or
ange. The battery now used in sub
marines generates chlorine gas when
its cells become flooded with salt
water. This gas weakens the crew
and makes them susceptible to pneu-
monia for months a;terward. The
new battery has received thorough
tests and passed them all satisfac-
torily. The invention is small
compact cell, taking only one-half
|the space of batteries now in use. 1t
Is much lighter than the old and
produces more energy.

NAVAL STORES

Fletcher is about to initiate an in

agreement that naval stores may
be shipped from America to Europe
as ballast on cotton cargoes without
danger of being seized as contra
band. He will call on Secretary of

Now that cotton has been declared
out Of the contraband class, Senator
Fletcher says there is no reason why
naval stores should not have the
same rights. He points out that
naval stores being shipped in bar
rels serves admirably as ballast.
