Jitneys In Legal Fight.

Whether the City of Jackson or any
other municipality In the state has
sufficient power under the general
law to regulate iitney operators with
out the enactment Of specific legisla-
tion seems to be q moot point, upon
which Jackson lawyers seem TO dis
agree. Some OF the lawyers contend
that each jitney car operated comes
under the head OF q common carrier,
| and as such is subject to supervision
and regulation.
The jitney lawyers, on the other
hand, contend that they are not com
mon carriers any more than hack
lines, taxicabs or animals and vehicles
which are hired u by livery stables.
They claim to be on the same basis
of public service operation as a gar
age which hires gut autos.
All this will be threshed out wher
the pending quo warranto case /:
reached in the regular course on the
docket Of the circuit court at tn
September civil term.

The American farmer who grows
the wheat and corn and hogs and
cattle and other things man must
live upon should surely have his
innings this year and find a ready
and profitable market for every
pound of such stuff he can produce.
Europc is largely ems aged in plant
ing corpses rather than wheat, and
with scant prospect for crops of her
own she will look TO America TO feed
her in great part while the whole
sale murder goes on. The South
should get in this game up to heI
eyebrows, and giving cotton much
needed rest, devote all her tillable
soil to growing the stuff that people
must live on. Here is para
graph from western paper that
puts it "a a clear truth any man
should be able to see:
What seems to be plain is thai
every acre of the soil OF the United
States that can produce food fol
man and beast should be placed, il
possible, under cultivation, for thu

AN ANNIVERSARY THE
SOUTH NEVER FORGETS

Today is the anniversary of Gen i.
eral Robert E. Lees birthday and 1t
will be appropriately observed
throughout the South. Nor Will
this be done in any cold or perfume
tory spirit, for the Southern people
love the memory of this great man
with warm personal affection
which is true of no other large fig
ure in history except that of Lincoln
in the esteem of the North.
It is the glory of Lee that since
he passed away he has conquered all
enemies and silenced all malevolent
criticism, and throughout every part
of this country and all the civilized
world his name is spoken only with
respect and his greatness ungrudg-
ingly conceded.
1t adds to the dignity of the HUI
man race that it has produced sucf
a character, and for our part we are
profoundly grateful that he was oul
countryman, that we lived in hi
day and time, and that the luminous
splendor of his life still rests like ;
benediction upon the people h
served with such utter devotion.
