Policy of the Railway Commission Has Been to Weak in Harmony With the Roads. By WM. E. CURTIS. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star and the Chicago Record-Herald. JACKSON, April 1, 1905. A - gentleman with a taste for carious statistics tells me that there are more hoes in Mississippi, in proportion to the popula tion, than in any other state in the Union; an average of more than one for every man, woman and child; but all of them are not busy. There is a great consumption of hoes. Hundreds of thousands of them are shipped Into the state every spring, but none are ever shipped out, and, like pins, it is a mystery what becomes of them. The big planters down in the Yazoo valley or der 500 and 1,000 hoes at a time from deal ers in New Orleanq, Memphis or St. Louis. Carloads of hoes ai landed almost daily this time of the year At the stations on the Yazoo and -Missip Valley railroad, and you can see them ed up in front of the hardware eta nts and planta tion supply stores. A new supply is neces sary on a plantatioii,every tpree years and sometimes, evef. freqently; not be cause " ak tte'poe" wears opit that e pie* In tWe corn and cot ton fp becapse plantation tools van ish in a unaocauntable manner. InIpIaae ef anufacturing. Mississip|1 is regarded as purely an agri cultural stte. , Niner-five per cent of the population, depend 'tupon agriculture di rectly or ipdirectly. Mechanical industries have been as scarce down here as they are in the great wheat states of the northwest; but of late manufacturing is picking up a little, especially here in . Jackson, where there. are now thiri-seven plants of va rious kinds, representing an investment of nearly $2,000,000 ant having an output of several millions. They have located here becabse of cheap rgw material, cheap la bor, good climate, .low cost of living and excellent railroad facilities. The railway companies, through' their industrial com missioners, are responsible for bringing these new Industries into the state for the purpose of creating traffic, as they have done in Alabama. Fifteen and even ten years ago there was very little freight to haul, except cotton, but now the truck farms, the saw. mills and the factories are furnishing al t as much as the cotton fields. There h-a bdreu at the state house at Jackson foil the rpose of furnishing information to' 1mm nts and investors, and it is doing,good rk; but Its jurisdic tion is limited4 It ha no outside agencies and the funds t its disposal are insufficient to accomplish / . The railroads, how ever, the Illin Cen?al, the Southern and the Mobile a Ohi9 the Yazoo and Mis sissippi Vail have agents in the northern citie n Pend large sums of money adve attractions and ad vantages of 11N4 R,ailWays. In speak g 9Z 1 the railroads have done to build dlp thersouth, Mr. V. C. Grif fn, clerk of the Ai0bama railway commis glen, said the lief day: :'5hey have - lished more and ad anhe the sta t er than any other agency. They have brought us new peo ple to farm our lands an4 to employ the native laboring classes; they have assisted wonderfully In the birth and upbuilding of ,ur cities; they have shown our people how and where to market their crops, and the advantage of work over idleness. They lave given them incentives to work and 'acilities for realizing profitable results Crom their labors. Within the last thirty rears it Is to be remembered that the city Af Birmingham was nothing; a bex car for a station and not more than 500 indolent nhabitants in the town. Today it is mak ing a bid for the first place in the iron markets of the world; and that is due to the energy and progressive policy of the railroads that go through that city. "In southeastern Alabama," continued Mr. Griffin, "there is a section of country, Lncluding about six counties, which was tormerly classified as the "wire-grass dis rict,' meaning a growth of tough, coarse grass which afforded only poor fodder for 3attle and was good for nothing else. This listrict owes Its present prosperity to the railroads of Alabama. It is now one of the thriftiest sectiohs of the state. Col mists have been imported by the Louisville nd Nashville and Southern railroads, fer tilizer factories have been organized and started by those companies, ground has iecn cleared and sown,. and the whole dis tric't is a model of Industry and thrift. In many cases the railroads have loaned mney to 'responsible farmers who have shown their earnest desire to build up the :ountry, and have given them liberal terms and tirne in which to repay it. It is sard to estimate the splendid results or his policy. EFfect of Combination. "A combination of capital rightlyr oper ated for the mutual benefit -of the people nd the corporation cannot do harm to the ountry," said Mr. Griffin. "Your church is such a combination; your court houses and school houses are the results of right tul co-operation of capital. Thus a combi ration of interests by the railroads has ipened. the country down here as nothing lse could have done, Formerly when we wished to go to New York from New Or leans we had to change oars at least five imes-at Mobile, Montgomery, West Point, Atlanta, Charlotte. and probably at Wash ington. Now we get on a Pullman at New Drleans and need not get of! even for our meals unless we so,- desire. Similarly we ride from Chicago to San Francisco with mt a change of cars. This is, of course, rost desirable. Now consider the question from the stapdpoint of freight. One of the main causes of the indolence "of our people was the waite of cultivation. Before the advent of the railroads we had no means to dispose of our op. Bome farmers tried to sell their ructs in local mar kets, but their ar ado was so limited that they gaye a ~.tept and became idlers; a ba erffilled all their wants. Bin.ecoe hw ever, we hav in touch with the whole country., we a ntol ntire cars, but e loads of pro duce, which axt uhto New' York, Chiao h.:and Washing ton without chag,adplace our goods ha .those mark al put as soon as we were formerly t -i put them into the itarkets of our to.

The attitude of the Ml. pal railway commaslot} toward the railroads is more liberal than that of Alabama. A. new com mi..on, which is said to be more radical than ever, has just gone into oslce at Mont gomery, and B. B.' Comer of Birmingham, the chairman, in Uis inaugural address threatened all kinds of discIpline. At the first meeting of the board, however, he was sat upon by his colleagues, Messrs. Tunstall and Sanders, who are more conservative and judicial in their attitude. Manufacturies Exempt Prom Taxes. The state government of Mississippi and the legislature are quite generous toward manufacturing industries and has passed a law exempting them from taxation for ten years. A state containing 46,000 square miles of territory and only a million and a half of people, cannot be expected to de velop its own riches without foreign aid, and all kinds of inducements are offered capitalists to engage in manufacturing here. Some thread has been spun and some coarse cloth has been made in the state for generations, and there are now fourteen cotton mills with 4,273 looms and 132,696 spindles, representing an investment of about $2,500,000, The largest mill is at Wesson station on the Illinois Central road, which has 1,100 operatives. But Mississippi is far behind other southern states in work ing up Its raw material. The state produces a million and a half bales of cotton a year. but consumes only about twenty thousand bales; although there Is a greater demand for cheap cotton cloth than for any other fabric. There is plenty of labor also-large families of the poor white class living in greatest privation because there is nothing for the women to do, In North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia this class has furnished excellent factory operatives, and the same people and same conditions prevail in Mississipppi. ' South Carolina consumes half of her cot ton crop within her own borders and ex ports half the cloth and yarn manufactured in the state. Mississippi does practically nothing, although its advantages are equal to those of any other southern state. A sdurce of great wealth lies unused. With the hope and expectation of the introduc tion of cotton mills, the state has recently established a textile school in connection with the Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege; so that one step, at least, of impor tance, has been taken. Cotton Seed Oil Industry. More money comes out of the cotton seed oil industry than' from any other. A few years ago cotton seed was as much of a nuisance around a plantation as sawdust around the lumber mills. But it has been discovered that every seed contains a drop of precious oil, so that which was recently thrown away now adds more than $80,000, 000 a year to the profits of cotton planters. Mississippi alone turns out about 400,000 tons of cotton seed annually, and last year it was worth $15.75 per ton. The Mobile and Ohio Railroad, like the Cunard steamship line, boasts that it has never killed a passenger. There is a tradi tion that on one occasion a tramp, who was stealing a ride on a freight train, was killed in a collision, and a number of em ployes of the road lose their lives every year. But I am assured that no first-class passenger was ever killed on any train. Oc casionally there is an accident. There was a horrible smash-up near Tuscaloosa only a few weeks ago, and during the Spanish war a trainload of soldiers went through a bridge. But no one was killed on either occasion. NEW DRY DOCK PLANNED. Appropriation Not Sufficient to Enlarge Present One at Norfolk. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NORFOLK, Va., April 8, 1905. It is now certain that the great dry dock under construction at the Norfolk navy yard will not be enlarged Prom the original plans. The appropriation of $1,200,000 is not sufficient for the 150-foot addition which has been proposed, and the doek will only be 586 feet in length when com pleted. Plans are already -being drawn for an- 1 other dock adjoining the dock- now build Ing 750 feet long, which is only fifty feet less than the length of the big dock at Newport News, the largest dry dock In the country and one of the largest in the I world. Before the present dock is entirely I completed Congress will be asked for an appropriation of $1,000,000 to build'this new dock. The recent acquisition by the gov ernment of the Schmoele. tract, adjoining. the navy yard, makes this proposed dock possible. The dock now under construction will not be completed for more than two years. 1 The contractors have had the job for eighteen months, but have been delayed a great deal by bad weather. The dock w!ll I be constructed of wood and the dimensions will be as follows: Length, 586 feet; avail able length, 550 feet; width at entrance, 112 feet; width In body; 126 feet; depth at mean high water, 34 feet. Anacostia and Vicinity. William E. Krist, a sailor attached to the Dolphin, who has been under treatment at the naval hospital in this city for some weeks, was found by Policeman Wise of the Twining City district wandering aimlessly through the wdods near that suburb yester day evening, attired only In a breechclout.1 He wsas reticent when questioned, and it< was suspected, as afterward proved to be I correct, that his mental faculties were I clouded. He claimed, however, that he had removed his clothing in order to take a sun bath, but had been unable to locate his gar ments when ready to return to the hospital. The ambulance of the institution was called I and he was sent back. An interesting ceremony, .the .consecration of the building, has been arranged to occur Sunday next at the Emmanuel Protestant Episcopal Church, southeast corner of Washington and Fillmore streets, which is being looked forward to with much interest by the congregation. The building, though3 completed for a number of years, was never] consecrated for reasons deemed sufficient by the rector and the vestrymen, but which, it is explained, no longer exist. Right Rev.
