Resignation Of AdIutant- General 40.
cepted by Governor.

Jacksonville resignation OF Gen.
Arthur Fridge as adjutant-general OF
the State national guard was placed
In the hands OF Gov. Brewer. The
resignation OF General Fridge was not
unexpected, as he had practically ad.
mitted some weeks ago that. owing to
the paucity of the salary attached to
the position and the expense Of living
and maintaining family he could not
afford to longer continue. This popu.
lar officer has served the State as ad.
jutant-general under three administra
lions, having been appointed by Gov.
Vardaman 10 years ago and reap
pointed by Cows. Noel and Brewer,
and has given the State diligent and
faithful service, raising the standard
of the State militia to high level.
Gov. Brewer has accepted the resig-
nation of General Fridge in the abb
sence of the latter, who is in Chicago,
and stated that he would appoint as
his successor Capt. Erie B. Scales of
Noxubee County. Capt. Scales was
at the capitol during the day in COM
pany with Col. r. G. McCants of Meri-
dian, and had the acceptance or dec
linetion OF the appointment under con-
sideration. He was gratified at the
tender Of the position by the execu-
tive, but was disposed to shy at the
proposition in view or the meager sal
airy attached. However, 1t was stated
that Capt. Scales had practically de-
cided to accept the position, and he
will indicate his intentions in day
or two. The formal transfer will be
made upon the return. of General
Fridge from Chicago, should Capt.
Scales decide to accept, which seems
likely.

Calumet the Secret Of Economy

The high cost of living nowadays. and
the way prices are steadily climbing sky
wards, is making economy in the kitchen
even more important than It was In the
good old days of our thrifty ancestors.
But how to achieve economy? There's
the rub!
In many lines, 1t depends almost en-
tirely on the housewives knowledge OF
foods and on her watchfulness-but for
tunately, in one line, baking. economy
can be made almost automatic by the use
of the famous Calumet Baking Powder.
Economy in baking. as every good cook
knows. depends not SO much on economy
in buying the materials as on the success
of her bakings. Failures mean waste
bigger losses by far than the savings she
makes in buying. And the fact that Calu-
met absolutely prevents failures and
makes every baking successful has made
1t the favorite of every cook that seeks
to be economical. In other words, Calu-
met is the secret of economy In baking.
1t is the purest. too--attested by hum
drcds of leading physicians-and as for
its general quality, 1t is enough to say
that Calumet has received the highest
awards at two Worlds Pure Food EXPOSE
tions-one in Chicago, ILL.,. and the other
in Paris. France. in March. 1912. ADV.

SURPRISE IS SPRUNG
IN ANTITRUST SUIT
FORMER OFFICIAL OF MOBILE a
OHIO GIVES TESTIMONY.
Says at Time Merger Bill Was Pend
ing Neither Railroad Commission
Nor Attorney General Knew
Of Ownership.

Meridian.-The state sprung a sur
prise ON the railroads by producing
in the antitrust suit now being fought
out at Meridian, G. w. Gibson of Cor.
pus Christi, Texas, who was for many
years prior to 1901 the general agent
of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, and who had also occupied the
position of general cotton agent. Mr..
Gibsoh's appearance at Meridian
caused the sudden appearance here of
quite a crowd of prominent officials
on the various railroads from all over
the country. AS soon as his presence
here was learned R. v. Taylor, vice.
president and general manager of the
Mobile and Ohio, ordered special
train and came to Meridian from Mo-
bile.
Mr.. Gibson testified that he was the
chairman of the association called the
Aberdeen Commercial Group, which
was organized in 1901 for the pur-
pose Of fighting the consolidation of
the Mobile and Ohio and the Southern
railways, and that he and Congress
man John M. Allen of Tupelo were the
ones who were selected by the citizens
of Columbus, West Point, Corinth,
Starkville and Aberdeen, who COM
posed the association, to make the
fight against the consolidation.
He testified that the Mississippi
Railroad Commission and Attorney
General Monroe McClurg did not at
the time that the famous merger bill
was pending in the legislature know
anything about the secret ownership
by the Southern Railway of the Ala
bama Great Southern railroad, that he,
himself, was as well posted on the rail
road situation in 1901 as any man in
Mississippi and that he did not know
at that time that the Southern Rail-
way Company had bought the stock
of the Alabama Great Southern, and
did not know that while it was endeav-
oring to persuade the governor and
other state officials to consent to the
consolidation it had secretly bought
the Alabama Great Southern, and had
acquired control of the New Orleans
and Northeastern and the Alabama
and Vicksburg railroads by the pur-
chase of the stock of the English
holding company called the Alabama,
New Orleans and Texas Pacific Rail-
ways Company, Limited, which cYm-
pany owns the stock Of the Northeast
ern and the Alabama and vicksbprg,
that consequently if lAttorney-G General
McClurg or any other state official
ever assented to the merger, he did so
without having his eyes open to all
the facts and to the true situation.
Mr.. Gibson further testified that as
soon as the Southern Railway Com
pany bought the stock of the Mobile
and Ohio, that both companies began
to raise their rates on the two most
important classes of traffic, which
were packing house products and all
kinds Of grain and grain products,
and kept them raised for four years
until the Aberdeen Group Commercial
Association at the end Of long litiga-
ton succeeded in forcing them to put
back in force the rates as they ex-
listed before the consolidation.
