ing still in the swamps near
Camden, Miss, Sheriff Owen, of
Madison, reported to Federal Pro-
hibition Director, M. H. Daily that
the negro owning and operating the
still had selected as his place Of
operation, most filthy ard un-
sanitary location IN the banks of
a little creek which furnished him
with muddy water for his product.
The barrels containing the mash
were buried in the ground to
within bout foot of the top and
left uncovered, subject to the
curious inspection of frogs and
other inhabitants of the swamp.
Upon destroying the barrels of
mash the sheriff, as well as the
negro, was surprised to find in one
of the barrels a pig partially de-
composed. Just how long the pig
had been in the barrel of mash is
hard to say, but due to the fact
that the negro was ignorant of it's
presence, he would have brewed
from this very barrel of Beer"

pig, the clear, yet filthy and poisn-

Cow Gives Half Her
Weight in Milk
in 7 Days

Wichita, Kan.-George Appleman,
a farmer residing in the big Arkan-
sas river valley, has Holstein cow
which has, within two weeks, produc-
ed her own weight in milk. By
giving 1856 pounds of milk in week
this COW has proken the state pro-
duction record, which rested at 765
pounds. Kowchow, ensilage, ground
oats and alfafa composed the food
which produced this exceptional milk
record. The average milk cow pro-
duces about so pounds of milk day
and she must be a good cow at that.
At the prevailing retail prices OF
milk in Wichita, the cow produces
more than $50 in milk every seven
days.
E. L. NcCay, Sedgwick county
farm agent, report that she has the
Kansas record. The COW was tested
by agents from the Kansas state
agricultural college, Manhatten.
F. L. Huxtable of the Wichita
health department and for years
milk inspector, reports that Mr..
Appleman is one of the states most
efficient dairymen.
The worlds record of milk in
pounds is believed to be but a few
pounds more than the Appleman COW.
The Holstein COW which won the
state record for Appleman is six
years old and was bred and raised
by Appleman. The cow was fresh
two weeks ago. Out of the ninety
pounds of milk, Appleman could get
a little more than four pounds of
butter per day.
One day during the test the COW
produced 1859 pounds.

STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION
WOIJLDPREVENT DISCRIMINATION
!. AGAINST COTTON SHIPMENTS

live stock, live poultry, eggs, butter,
cheese, packing house products, fresh
fruits, vegetables, and many other
perishable commodities that require
special handling by the railroads.
To illustrate the handling Of cotton
in bales from Aberdeen, Miss, to
New York is $1.22 per 100 pounds,
while the rate on cotton cloth made
out of the same raw cotton, from
New York to Aberdeen is $113 per
100 pounds. A car load of lumber
from Brookhaven to Chicago costs
$4,000, while a car load of cotton
cost $4,000. A car load of automo-
biles. from Milwaukee, Wis, to
Brookhaven cost $4,000, while a
car load Of cotton from Brookhaven
to Milwaukee costs $4.53.0O. A car
load of race horses from New Or
leans, La, to Cincinnati, O., costs
$161.OO, and six men are carried
along as attendants, while car
load of cotton from Jackson to
Cincinnati, over the same railroad
costs $4,000. These illustrations are
only typical of the general discrimi-
nation against the cotton farmer in
Mississippi and the Mississippi Com
mission is endeavorng to have the
rates reduced, SO that cotton will
bear no more than it's fair proper
ton of the transportation burden
The forces of the Commission, un-
der the direction of Rate Expert
Moor, have been busily engaged for
the past week preparing full and
compile case for presentation to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to show why the cotton rates should
be reduced.
This question will be presented to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
at Greenwood, Miss, on January
31st, 1928.

The Mississippi Railroad Commits.
sion has filled complaint with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
seeking a general reduction in rates
on cotton from all points in the
State of Mississippi to all cotton
markets in the United States.
Cotton is the principal money croI
of the State, and, in fact, is the prin-
cipal industry Of the state. The price
which the farmer receives is based
on the price at New York or Liver
Pool, less the cost of getting the
cotton to these markets, and, there
fore, the lower the freight rate, the
more the farmer receives for the
cotton.
The crop this year will approx
mate one million bales, and the
Mississippi Commission is convincet
that the rates the farmers have *
pay places a most unjust burdel
on the great industry Of Mississippi
The rate from Hattiesburg to Bos-
ton, Mass, is 96.78 per bale. This
is the rate that is paid, no matter
whether there is one single bale Of
a whole car load Of rs bales. Cot.
ton moves from the compress OF
points to the markets
in car load lots exclusively, SO that
q car load Of cotton from Hatties-
burg to Boston will cost $433.lS
After this cotton is spun, and woven
or knit into cloth knitted goods
the rate on the finished product
back into Mississippi is less than the
rate on the raw cotton from Missis-
sippi to Boston. The rates on cot
ton are higher than the rates or
wool from the Western states te
the Atlantic seaboard. The cottor
rates are higher than rates on almost
every manufactured article that
moves in car load lots. Cotton
rates are higher than the rates or

CHNDREN'S
DAY IN CHURCHES
Occasion VIII Be Universally
Observed Throughout the
Entire Nation

Sunday is "Children's Day" with
all Protestant churches in this coun-
try, and the occasion will be fit
tingly observed in, Americus with
appropriate services arranged by
the various congregations. f.
Dr. Carl w. Minor, pastor of First
Baptist church, in discussing this
occasion today said:
Sunday, June 10, is Cmldren's
Day, and we want to make it a real
day for children in all of our
churches. The boys and girls of to-
day will be the men and women of
tomorrow. As the twig grows so
will the tree incline. 1t is from our
boys and girls of today that we
will have to draw the church Off
cials, choir members, Sunday school
and Missionary Society workers ten
or twenty years hence. Too often
our young people are neglected and
forgotten.
"Cbildren's Day is about the
most important day in the whole
church calendar, because it empha-
cizes the Importance Of child life
A great scientific man who has
devoted his life to the study Of
childhood declares that the only way
any generation has of making itself
immortal is by passing on the lamp
of life through its children.
