a most I0llclUOuS anu HUMOROUS
speech, which was most heartily
received. He said that most Of
us had been brought up to look
upon the railroad officials as sort
of myths, not real men. and that
he was glad to be there and meet
these railroad officials and to
know that they were men like
ourselves, controlled by the same
kind of motives. That he thought
this conference of the people
with the railroad officials to talk
about our mutual wants was a
regular inspiration, and accord
ing to his judgment was one of
the most important events that
had taken place in this section in
years. He most heartily ap-
proved the plan formulating our
needs and presenting them frank
ly and candidly to the railroad
officials, and having them con-
slider them in the same way. He
felt that this meeting betokened
a different spirit of the people
toward the railroad company.
when their officials would quit
their important duties and meet
US to discuss our wants with a
view of trying to satisfy those
wants in a most reasonable and
satisfactory manner. He en-
phasized the growing necessity
for Investigation, and also for
the elimination of prejudice; this
was to be done in a large meas
ure by the dissemination of in
formation and mutual intercourse
between the people and the rail-
road company.
Mr.. w. B. Redus, of Shannon,
was introduced by Mr.. Morrison
as one Of the parties who had
some years ago bought and ship
ped a great deal of corn, and he
was informed that he was now
erecting an elevator and shelter
at Shannon to take care of the
surplus corn crop. Mr.. Redus
stated that he was not a speaker
but that he bad had an humble
part in helping the people to dis
pose of their surplus corn before
when cotton was low and re
had a surplus of that crop, Gnd
that he was preparing now Y
an elevator and

He felt assured that the M. 20
railroad company would Use all
of it's i~nstrumentalities and pow
ers to provide satisfactory rates
on these products. He had
called on them frequently for
rates when he was in the bust.
ness of shipping corn before, and
that the railroad had met all his
requests satisfactorily. He said
that the rate to Birmingham had
been very satisfactory, but he
was informed that because there
were now no shipments it had
been withdrawn, but he felt as
sured it would be re-established
when requested. He also stated
that the rates they had given
him to Atlanta, Montgomery and
Mobile had been entirely salts
factory, but he had felt that the
rate to Meridian was not as low
as it should have been. but this
was an interstate rate and not
an interstate rate.
Mayor D. w. Robins was in
troduced by the chairman. Mr..
Robins stated that he was not
sufficiently informed to be able
to make any suggestions that
would be profitable to the meet
ing. He thought that a commit
tee should be appointed to inves-
tigate the matter of rates and
determine what rates were reas-

Called dLLcHClOn TO CDe large Qc-
yelopment of the hay industry in
this section, and the wonderful
growth of the cattle industry.
There were more thoroughbred
cattle than in any other section
of Mississippi. He said where.
he came from, Lexington. KY,
none of the agricultural products
of the farm were shipped, all
surplus hay and grain was put
into live stock, and that it was
thought.to be a very paying way
of investing surplus crops Of
grain and feedstuffs; you sold it
at a good price when you sold it
in a cow, horse or mule. He was
on a branch of the |. C. railroad,
and pointed out some ludicrous
inequalities in rates. They were
interstate rates, however, and
not interstate rates.
Col. R.. v. Taylor, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad Co.,
was here introduced. Col. Tay-
Tor delivered'a most instructive,
eloquent and interesting address
on the subject of the relation of
the railroad company to it's pat
rons. We're it practical we would
be glad to publish his entire ad-
dress verbatim, but we had no
stenographic reporter and can
only give a brief account of his
great speech.
He started out by saying that
this conference comported large
ly with his ideas of what the re-
lations should be between the
officers of the railroad company
and the people along it's lines.
That the purpose of the railroad
company was to furnish every
facility for handling. in the most
satisfactory way, every product
that the community produced,
and to bring to that community
all that it consumed that was not
produced there, and that his idea
was that this should be done
with a reasonable profit to the
railroad company, and no more
than a reasonable profit, and
with satisfactory service to the
community. The railroad COM
pany, of course, was in business
Ito make money, but he realized
md appreciated that more than
d reasonable profit was not only
unjust, but was against the best
interests of the railroad company
itself. He had been over a great
deal of our country, and believed
that he stood on the favored spot
of the United States; that this
Northeast Mississippi country,
with its fertile fields and splen-
did climate. its capacity to grow
in almost perfection, everything
that grows in the ground, made
it the favored part of this great
country, and promised the great
est and highest development of
any part of our great common
wealth. But it was absolutely
essential before this was done
that there should be. especially
where the boil weevil had ap-
peared, a largely increased d.
versiication in our agriculture.
He was glad to see that our
country had surplus of corn and
hay, and it BODIED we'll for the
country that we had this surplus
amount. For himself he believed
that the best way in the world to
dispose of that surplus was to put
it into improved cattle and fine
hogs. He agreed with those who
had stated that this was the best
way to sell these products, but
for the present, as Mr.. West had
stated, we had too much corn and
too much hey in our system and
were sick from oyer-much of it.

Sunday proved to be an ideal
day for "Mother's Day" which was
observed at most of the Crabbot-
tom churches. A beautiful pro-
gram was rendered at the Union
Chapel, TO large and attentive
audience. Numerous recita ions
given by the little ones, who played
their parts remarkably well. Sew
eral solos, duets, and choruses
were rendered by the Sunday
School choir. The vocal solo,

Native Of Highland Dies

The following notice of S. W.
GiImor's funeral, and sketch of his
life, is taken from the Nevada (Mo)
Evening Post, of May 5th.
The subject of the sketch, Stuart

The funeral Of S. W. Gilmore,
who died early Tuesday morning
WAS held Wednesday afternoon at
the home of Rev. S. G. Welborn

ed the funeral service. lnterment
was made at Dcepwood.
MIR Gilmore was one Of the plo'
noer settlers Of this county Nearly
fifty of the almost four score and
five years OF his life were spent in
Vernon. In the timely activities
and development of this county, he
was closely lGentl!ed.
At the age Of twenty six he I'm
tied in marriage with Miss Allie A
Johns and the couple lived happily
and prosperoulsy together until heI
death, which occorred November

1t was in early manhood that he
gave himself fully to the Christian
| life and. service, and consistently
sustained himself therein both by
his abundant labors and liberal
maintenance of worthy Christi an

full age, like as shock of corn
cOmeth in its season.

Where to Get
A Good w atch

If you want a good watch, buy
it here. A watch needs the per
sonal adjustment to the owner that
only an expert ieweler can give a
watch.
A good watch runs differently for
different people. If you lean over
a great deal in your work, or jolt
over rough roads in wagon Or
move quickly etc your watch is
affected and needs to be regulated
by al expert watch man for a few
days after YOU buy it.
A mail order house can't send
you a man to do that so you are
just plain lucky if you get mail
order watch that keeps time.
We are watch inspectors for the
B. & 0. railroad and naturally,in a
position to give good service.
If your old watch needs atten-
ton or you need new one see US.

Supervisors Meet

At a meeting of the Board of
Supervisors of Highland county
held at the court house thereof on
the Sth day of May, 1915, the fol-
lowing business was transacted:

So cents on the 500 value.
This makes the rate for state,
c unity and district Sl.lO, which
III comparison with the last year S
levy is as follows Blue Grass dis
trict 81 05; Monterey district 81 is,
and Stonewall district Sl.1O. The

The districts, makes the whole levy
the same in each one Of the dis

For county purpose, schools and
roads the rate has been raised, yet
the total rate makes no more than
