Democratic convention. He did not wish
to cause trouble.
The resolution was adopted, but the
motion to transmit it to the Democratic
convention was lost by a close standing
vote.
Judge Fisher said he would carry no
such insult to the Democratic convention.
Recess to 8 O'Clock.
When the evening session opened Sec
rotary Adams read a communication from
the Democratic convention certifying to
the selection of five candidates for the
constitutional convention and the endorse
ment of Mr.. Morgan as the odd man.
The note was filed.
The conference committee reported that
the resolutions transmitted to the Demo

that body. The report was received.
W. NJ. Mast moved hat the conven-

The Bagging Trust Revived.

When the announcement was made
about a month ago that the jute bag
ging combination had expired by linn
itation, and that many of the mills
were unwilling to continue the ven
ture, the cotton trade congratulated
itself upon the prospect that the next
season would witness the return of
bailing material to reasonable prices.
This hope seems to have been prema-
ture, however, as the news now comes
from New York that the combination
has been recognized under another
form.
When it was found that many of
the mills were no longer willing to
maintain the combination ON the old
basis they were quietly permitted to
withdraw, after which the eight firms
who had originally started the trust
set to work secretly to buy up all the
jute butts available, whether in this
country, afloat or in Calcutta, until
they became possessed of the entire
available supply.
Thus, the mills which left the com
binatiOn find themselves in the posi-
ton of being compelled to re-enter it
on the terms of their late confreres
may be disposed to grant, or remain
shut down owing to want of raw ma
terial.
AS the stock of jute butts held by
the new combination comprises the
entire available supply until January
next, it will be seen that the planters
are as much at the mercy of the COM
bine as they were last year.
It's hardly probable that prices will
again be pushed up to last years ex-
travagant figures, as the large amount
of bagging carried over must have
convinced the manipulators of the
"trust' it would be better policy to be
content with more reasonable range
of profits.
The patent rights for the manufac-
ture of pine straw bagging have, it is
said, been purchased by the Standard
Oil Company, which will virtually re-
move it from the field as an active
competitor with jute bagging unless
the coil Trust" decides to fight its
brother combination, the "Bagging
Trust" Nee Orleans Picayune.

GEN. STEPHEN ID. LEE.
He is Willing to Serve as Cover
nor if the People Want Him.

To the Editor of the Appeal:
SIR-In your issue of the 4th inst.
you ask "What does Gen. Query say
to this?" alluding to what the Stark
vile Times had said about Gen. Lee
not being candidate.
In answer, l say that the Times, al
though one of the best friends Gen.
Lee has in the State, was innocently
mistaken in what it said.
In my article of last month present
ing Gen. Lee to the voters of Missis-
sippi as a proper man for the Office of
Governor, | spoke by authority when
| said che would accept the Office if
the Democratic convention nominated
him and the people elected him to it,
"That he was no politician and would
not resort to the ways Of Office seek
ers to get the nomination." That he
was satisfied where he was and would
only voluntarily leave the place Eat
the call of the people" l repeat
what | said then: If the people of
Mississippi want n cleaD-handed,
pure minded, courageous Governor,
they can get him in Gen. Lee. If
they want Il Governor who will dare
to do right because it is right, without
ever stopping to think what effect it
VIII have on his political future, they
can get him in Gen. Lee. Many hon
orable names have been presented to
us and | would not disparage any one
of them, but Gen. Lee possesses in
large degree the very elements of
heart and mind which our State So
much needs just now, and there are
thousands of our voters who realize
it and have been persistent in their
appeals to him for this use of his
name. Now that he has consented, it
is to be expected of them to attend
the primaries and county conventions
so as to be represented fairly in the
State Convention. Some one has said
the great farmer movement, number
ing now nearly 100000 voters and
still growing, is making the mere pol
itician tremble. Gracious knows it is
time these farmers were moving in
some direction. | know that many,
very many of these same 100000 vo-
ters in Mississippi are anxious to have
Gen. Lee for their Governor, for they
know him and can trust him with i'm
plicit faith. They know he has had
the brain and the nerve to discharge
faithfully and well every duty which
has been required of him in the past,
and if Governor the State will be safe
in all its interests.
Yes, answer emphatically, Gen.
Lee will accept the office of Governor
if the people call HIM to it, and will
enter upon its duties with all the
earnestness of his great soul, fixed on
the one purpose of doing all he can to
advance the interest of his State, but
he will not canvass for the place or
resort to any trickery to secure it. If
the people want him to be Governor,
let them say so in convention, and he
will show them "what's in him." Let
his friends take this as settled and
govern themselves accordingly. Very
respectfully, N. d. GUERRY.

S tories About AmeIie Rives.

A lady who lives but few miles
from Amelie Rives-Chanler, the ec-
centric and famous novelist, is here on
a visit, and tells me of some incidents
and freaks connected with her marriage
that have never appeared in print, /
think, says a correspondent of the
Louisville Post. The novelist is
nothing if not sensational; so after the
ceremony, instead of going Immediate
" away on bridal tour, she changed
the whole order of things, packed her
whole family up and started them off
up the country, remaining in supreme
possession of her home, where she
fingered several days before finally GO
ing east.
The night of the wedding the house
remained brilliantly lighted far after
the gay streaks of dawn lit up the
eastern horizon, and the pretty bride
was then fitting through the rooms,
first in her own and then in the parlor,
where she played her harp and sang
many songs. The day was fully born
before she saw fit to seek rest, and not
until a 6 o'clock dinner was am
nounced did she make her appear.
ance.
The story published that Mrs, Chan
Ter was confirmed in her night-robe,
my informant tells me, is literally true,
only that it was ornamented with
dainty and exquisite frills and furbe-
lows, and would have done credit to a
ball-dress only for the shape of the gar
ment. 1t is also said that when the
bishop confirmed the pretty girl, her
loneliness so dazed the good man that
he hardly knew how to perform the
service.
