action for the failure to ship
5,597 bales of state cotton from
Gulfport to Copenhagen, Den
mark. The amount involved in
the action is $78, $1,000, being
freight claimed due on 1859 bales
of cotton for which the master
of the steamship Huso has re-
ceipted for freight at the rate OF
$2.75 per hundred pounds. The
cotton was levied on by the u. S,
Marshal for the Southern District
of Mississippi. The Board OF
Prison Trustees had contracted
to ship the cotton to Denmark
but owing to the fear arising
that the cotton might be sieZed
as contraband the shipment was

Frisco Raises Rates

The Frisco Railroad Company
has recently put in rates on
gravel to points east from Tupelo
which are altogether out of pro-
portion to rates formerly existing
for similar service in this ter
ritory. Heretofore the road
would haul gravel from Tupelo
to Plantersville or Nettleton at
the rate of $500 a car. This
rate was in existence during the
past summer when the contract
ors bid off the roads which were
let TO be constructed as early as
possible. The rate from luka,
where the Thishomingo gravel is
bought, to Tupelo is 60 cents per
ton, for a haul Of seventy miles,
and the same rate holds good as
far south as Meridian. The new
rate put in by the Frisco is 80
cents per ton to Plantersville or
Nettleton, making a charge of
S32. 90 for a car of forty tons for
a distance of only twelve miles.
This rate is a third higher than
the rate from Iuka to Meridian,
a distance of nearly two hundred
miles, and on the face of it the
road has decided to sQCe re every
contractor building a gravel road
in that direction. The firm of
Worthington & Company, of
Memphis, has the contract to
build the road from here to the
Monroe county line via Planters
Vile. The difference in the
freight rate on gravel between
that made when the bid of
Worthington & Co. was made
and accepted is $2700 per car
and will amount to a difference
against them of SIC, 000.0 on
their contract.
The officials of the road have
been appealed to without relief.
The Mississippi Railroad Com
mission was also appealed to, but
were unable to remedy the In
equalities in the rate made by
the road. D. w. Robins, the
Commissioner and a representa-
tive of Worthington az Co. viii
visit st. Louis for the purpose OF
interviewing the higher officials
of the road with the hope that
justice may be done the con-
tractors and the county.
La the meantime the company
will begin the construction of
the. road from this end of the
line, hauling the gravel from
Tupelo where the rate remains
at 60 cents.
The contractors had agreed
with the officials to begin work
at Nettleton and build this way.

MOUNDING TREES TO
KEEP AWAY RODENTS
important to Scrape Away Vege'
tation That May Be Close
to Trunk of Tree.

Mounding trees with soil piled about
a foot high around the trunk, keeps
away mice which, during some years,
are very destructive. II one does not
mound his trees, he should either put
wire netting collars around them, or
be prepared to tramp down the snow
around each tree if there is much veg
citation in the orchard.
1t is not necessary to do the mound
ing or banking before the weather be-
comes fairly cold, but there is no
reason why this should not be done at
any time during the fall.
One important point is to scrape
away the vegetation that may be close
to the trunk, so that the earth that is
thrown in by the shovel will rest up
on earth, instead of upon a mat of
grass or leaves through which the
mice may burrow and thus reach the
trunk and girdle it beneath the mound
which you have added.
There have been cases where the
short-tailed meadow mice burrowed
through the base of the mounds be-
cause there was so much organic mat
ter or vegetation under them to make
them loose and vulnerable.
