CHARTERS GRANTED.

Jackson, Miss, April 13-Goyernor
Brewer today approved the charter of
incorporation of the Premium Mercan-
tile Company of Lucedale, George
county The purpose is for carrying
on a general mercantile business with
a capital stock of $4,000
Amendments to the charters of three
state banks, proposing to reduce their
capital stock, were also approved, as
follows:
Citizens Bank and Trust company of
Belzoni, Washington county, from
800 900 to $4,000 capital stock
Farmers & Merchants Bank of Ocean
Springs, Jackson county, from $4,000
to $4,000 capital stock.
State Bank of Sunfower, Sunfiower
county, from $4,000 to $4,000 cap
ital stock.
While it is not stated, the presump-
[ IN is that all these reductions of
bank capital stock are due to the close
inspection and supervision of the state
bank examiners, who, where banks
seem to be overcapitalized, are known
to bring pressure on the officers and
directors to take just such a step.

expert, has issued the following sum-
mary of conditions in this section of
the state for the week just closed:
Until very recently the temperature

normal, especially during March, which
is averaged Z degrees below normal
The past few days have been much
warmer, maximum running into the
seventies, and vegetation is now max
ing rapid growth. Rains during JAN
uary and February were frequent, but
during March the rainfall was below
normal, and in that respect conditions
are also much improved. The soil il
in splendid condition for cultivation of
crops.
Tomato plants are quite small for
this date, being about the size they usu-
ally are the middle of March, and a
few are larger, but even those are
much below usual size at this date
Many have been set out in the fields
the past few days, and al of them will
be set out within week. Favorable
weather conditions may bring the croI
in nearly on time. Acreage still prom
ises to be larger than usual.
Cabbage is much smaller than usua
and the crop is fully three weeks late
No car-lots will move before May l
if then. Acreage not quite equal to las
years.
Peas are in splendid condition. bu
late; earliest now blooming; acreage
considerably below normal
Beans will be later than usual. Earl.
paintings did not do well because tn,
soil was wet and cold; acreage nearl.
equal to last year.
= Beets and carrots are doing well
but acreage will not be nearly SO larg'
as at first indicated, because man.
paintings were abandoned on accoun
of poor stands"
Strawberries in the Louisiana dis
trict are now ripening, and few cal
loads going forward daily. Later whel
the general crop comes on the move
men is expected to be very heavy
Present weather conditions are ideal.

WILL FILE DEMURRER.

Jackson, Miss, April ia demur-
rer will be filed to the libel action in
stituted by the master of the steam
ship Huso against the state of Mis-
sissippi. based chiefly on the ground
that the state cannot be sued in the |
federat SQUIRT.
The master of the Huso wants $751;. |
5000 from the state because of can
collation. of contract to carry the pris
on farm cotton crop of 5.597 bales
from Gulfport to Copenhagen.
have not yet received a copy OF
the bill of complaint on which the libel
action is based" said Assistant Attor-
ney-General Ethridge today. How
| ever, it is my present plan to set forth
| in defense that an action of this char.
acter cannot be sustained against
state in the federal courts"
! Mr. Ethridge held a conference yes
. terday with Governor Brewer on the
subject just before the latter left for
Raleigh, where he will deliver an adj
dress today.
The amount involved in the action
| is $78,3S0.30, being freight claimed due
on 1859 bales of cotton which the
master of the boat had already receipt
ed for at the rate of $275 per 100
pounds. The cotton was levied on late
Saturday night by United States Mar
shall ]. d. Money, who went to Gulfport
for the purpose. The cotton is stored
in the warehouse of the C. & S. L.
railroad
The action grew out of the proposed
shipment of state cotton to Copen-
hagen, Denmark, by penitentiary trus-
tees, and was originally consigned to
the state of Mississippi at Gulfport in
care of the steamer Huso. Upon ar
rival of the cotton the master of the
vessel receipted for 3,059 bales. which
were delivered at the warehouse, and
for which a bill of lading was issued.
Thinking the cotton might be seized
by vessels of the European nations at
war, the contract for the steamer was
abrogated by the trustees, who sold it
to Boyce & Co., of Memphis. No blame
is attached to Gov Brewer, who, it is
claimed, was double-crossed, four tele-
grams from Brewer to the steamship
company being attached to the peti
ton, showing that he had fully author
lied the shipment. The case is an
important one. and since the sale t.
Boyce & Co, after delivery to the
steamer for shipment it has. attracte
considerable attention.
! The cotton involved contains to-
tai weight Of 2,19S.916 ponds.
