TWENTY BUSHELS
Splendid Crop Made Near Greenwood.
Sample Grades High.
Special fo The Netas.
.Jackson, Miss., Sept. 27.—The first
] large shipment of wheat from Leflore
j county was made by S. F. Jones, own
j er of the Race Track Plantation, six
miles north of Greenwood, according
I to information brought to the planters
in this section. The crop was har
vested from thirty acres,and although
the planter did not take special care
of it it made a splendid crop, and a
successful experiment.
The net was twenty bushels to the
acre, which is far above the average
for the United States as a whole, and
i was sold .to an exporter in New Or

j A. St. Louis grain expert who ex

it to be one of the highest quality, and
the only reason the carload was sold
in New Orleans was because of the
low freight rate.

27 CONDUCTORS
ARE SUSPENDED
N. O. a N. E. Said to Have Laid off
Men For Failure to Observe
Rules.
It is understood that by order of
Superintendent S. E. Flanagan of the
New Orleans and Northeastern road,
about twenty-seven passenger and
freight conductors were suspended
yesterday morning for a period of five
days for alleged improper registra
tion upon the arrival and departure of
their trains at each terminal.
One of the strict rules of the road,
it is said, is that conductors shall
make proper entry on blanks provided
for the purpose of the arrival and de
parture of their respective trains.
This, It is claimed, has been violated
by nearly every conductor on the road
and the suspension is the result.
During the suspension of the reg
Ailar conductors trains will be run by
extra men.
The suspension is thought to be
merely a reminder that no rule of the
road shall be violated.
It is understood that conductors
have not neglected to register, but
that they have improperly used the
wrong columns in the blanks for mak- ]
! in g their registrations.

CUPID'S EFFORTS

Culmination of Hinds County Ro
mance Delayed By Bride's
Tender Years.
Special to The Ne tot.
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 27.—A pretty
little rural romance was shattered
this morning when Frank Sterett, a
stalwart youth from Madison county,
and pretty Annie May Stegall, who
lives in the same community, attempt
ed to secure a marriage license from
Clerk Ed. Fondren, clerk of the Cir
cuit court.
The couple came from Madison sta
tion on the noon train, accompanied
by the father and sister of the groom
to-be, and a sister of the bashful,
blushing bride. The father and sister
of the young man were anxious to see
the young fellow united to the girl
of his choice, but the sister of the
bride raised an objection, and after
a scene that rivals anything ever in
jected in Bertha Clay's novels, she
won her point.

MARION COUNTY
TO PROTECT GAME
Reckless Slaughter Of Fish And Game
Causes Supervisors To Take
Action.
a
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 27.—W. W.
Connerly, of Columbia, has been ap
pointed game commissioner of Marion
county by the Board of Supervisors at
the meeting which has just been
brought to a close. The appointment
was made necessary by the wholesale
killing of fish in Pearl river by dyna
mite and seining with gill nets. The
sportsmen of the county have also
awakened to the necessity of protect
ing the wild game which is being
slaughtered and shipped out of the
state. The appointment of Commis
sioner Connerly is an innovation for
the reason that the county had never i
had its game and fish protected under
the law.
The board also took up the matter
of fixing the levy for the year, but
nothing was done. It is understood
however, that the levy will be less i
than eleven mills, which wsb the
. „ . . , . ,
amount paid by property ownere last I
the board reduced i

county was already- paying into the !
