by Commercial
Bodies.
Washington, June 2Z.~ The speech
of Hup. Joseph E. Ransdell of Louis
iana, entitled "On to Dixie," deliver
ed before congress, June 14th, is now
being put in pamphlet form for gen
eral distribution.
The reason for Its preparation 1h
the activity of the Canadian Govern
ment in tempting American citizens
to try their fortunes in the far North
west where the short growing season
prevents more than one crop a year.
.Mr. Kansdell, as president of ' the
National Rivers and Harbors Con
gress, has been accustomed to con
sider national questions and his ex
planation of the national opportunity
that rests In the South is authorita
tive. 1
The speech, as delivered, is sup
plemented with a number of valuable
appendices, from various sources, to
sustain the urgent plea of Mr. Rans
dell that our people who are unset
tled in their conditions should first
investigate the great Southern States
before turning to regions of less nat
ural resources. An appendix pre
pnred.by Richard H. Edmonds shows,
in a statistical table, the progress
of the feouth in fifty years. Another
appendix that brings out many re
markable evidences of Southern
growth, is that prepared by the South
ern Commercial Congress.
Petroleum production, ns shown in
this appendix, is the most startling
of all increases. In 187G tTle South
produced I20,0oo barrels; In 1908.

EX-CHAMPION IS
TURNED DOWN
Reno. Nev., June 25. Following)
Jim Corbett’s rpfusnT to allow him
to enter Jeffries’ training camp John
L. Sullivan was the most disgusted
man in Fteno Friday. Despite the
great popular esteem in which John
\j. is held, there are many comments
i on the streets that "he got what
' was corning to him.”
Jim Corbett expressed his sympa
thy for John T,.. saying he was sorry
t the incident had to occur, but adding
that "It was the only thing I could
do.” Jeffries ordered Sullivan barred
because the oldtime fighter had call
ed the corning fight a framc-up.
Jeff, while not discussing the trou
ble. Is plainly tickled over the man
ner In whlc* Corbett got rid of the
j ex champion.

According to a telephone message
from Princeton tilts afternoon a de
cision of the county court Just reach
ed at an adjourned session renders
Minefield after duly 1 and the county
of Mercer with two solitary oases
drier than a powder factory, or the
center of the Great Sahara. This
was the second hitch which the court
had taken upon the problem, and after
a wrestle lasting several hours, the
vote in the matter put the saloons of!
the county out of business.
Frnest Freeman mfmher of the
county court from. H ram well, Hepub-,
Mean and Wirt French, member from
Princeton, Democrat, voted ngainsf
the issuance of license.. *Gol. H. M.
Smith of Minefield. Kcpuhlicjin mem-'
her, did not cast •,« .vote because if
was not necessary.
The two'remaining wet spots In the
county are the Minefield Brewing
company of llluetleld and the Hawks'
distilling company a4 Tloilfrey to
which InstilutIona license was grant
•d by the county court a few days I
ago.
A problem which Is confronting
the city of Minefield Is the matter of
having already collected municipal
license fees for various applicants
now doing business here. It is un
derstood that this money has been
invested in improvements and that
it would embarrass the treasury to a
greater or less'extent to have to dig
up the several amounts * pa I if* in by
the saloons.
Mr. Freeman was elected as a wet
man and has consistently voted wet
all along. Since the Republicans
hav< switched and nominated a dry,
man, It Is generally believed tint the
switch was made for political effect.
