At the present time the lumber bust

efforts are being made to accumulate
surplus stocks.
Nearly all Of the lumber mills in the

ELS of corn, or an amount equal to the
states usual consumption, if normal
weather prevails, according to the es
innate of G. B. Harper, assistant iii
dustrial and immigration agent of the
Illinois Central railroad.
Mr.. Harper has just completed a
tour of the state, and reports that
farms everywhere are preparing the
soil for spring oats and corn. There
never has been time, he says, when
so much spring oats we're being sowed
in the state.
~Mississippi is fast coming to tn
front as a corn state" Mr.. Harper
said. 'Tn 1911 the corn production in
Mississippi was 2S,000,000 bushels. In
1913 the corn production was 66,000,-
900. Last year the state produced co.
900, 900 bushels in the face of lone
drought and unfavorable weather con
ditions.
'"This year the acreage will be in
creased and the farmers will gather
more corn to the acre than ever be
fore. Mississippi annually consume:
100000, 900 bushels of corn, and II thu
weather conditions are anything neal
normal the state will supply its owl

FLOWING AND POLITICS.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 24.-Just at
present there are just two principal
lines of activity on record in the state
of Mississippi-if one may Judge from
the press of the state - and those
whose business requires them to get
out into the highways and byways.
These are blowing for and otherwise
preparing for corn and potatoes and
running for office. To judge from the
columns of the papers, while the for
mer is of the most decided ultimate
Importance, there is no doubt that for
the time being the latter holds the
greatest human interest. Indeed, it
is as though an intense and statewide
industry, business or occupation has
been precipitated-the business G. OF
fice-seeking.
There is scarcely county in the
state that has not to date an array of
from two to four of it's most prominent
and worthy citizens who are offering
their services as sheriff for the four
years beginning Jan. 1. There are
proportionately as many who desire
to be county tax assessor, superin-
tendent of education, county treasurer,
clerk of the circuit or chancery courts
cotton weigher, coroner, etc. In add.
ton to those running for county Of.
fee, each county has its full quota of
candidates for beat offices, either gu
pervisor, justice of the peace or con-
stable, and 1t is estimated that by
the middle Of March the crop of legis-
lative candidates will be full-grown.
Eliminating from the calculations
the candidates for general state and
supreme court district offices. from
governor down to land commissioner
and bank examiner, it is estimated
that when the entries are closed for
all the races to be started in the PR
mary campaign. fully $500 citizens Of
the state will be involved head over
heals in the office-seeking industry.
It is also conjectured that in arriving
at results the principle of personal
equation or political pull will enter
as largely into the determination OF
the nominees in August as any other
consideration or factor.
