MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


oNhhC ~
There has been q big sentiment in the
State for a long time favorable to estab-
fishing a Confederate home for INDECENT
soldiers. The project has been discussed
more or less by nearly every Legislature
that has met in recent years. AT
the last regular session a bill appro-
priating what was considered enough
money to get the enterprise fairly on
its feet came very near passing. There
are evidences that the coming legisla-
ture will also have to deal with the
question. w. A. Percy Camp of Con
federate Veterans Of Greenville adopted
tho following resolutions, in which it
will be noticed that each camp in the
State is requested to take action on the
subject;
Whereas, 1t is a ~self-evident fact that
the number OF those who took part on
the Southern side in the four years war
between the States is from year to year
growing less and less: and,
Whereas, Many of the survivors, all
of whom have passed the meridian OF
life, are in needy circumstances, with
out homes or the means of even scanty
support; and,
Whereas, We believe it to be the duty
of the State to give shelter and support
to those who are now or may become
helpless, who responded to her call and
gave four OF the best years of their life
to tho cause which Mississippi believed
to be right, and whose record on many a
hard fought field will attest their devo-
ton in upholding and defending the
honor of their State; and,
Whereas, The government of the
United Sta,es has devoted largo bodies
of land to the different State institu-
tions in Mississippi, a part of which may
be purchased at a low price, with the
condition that when the premises shall
cease to DO used for the purpose of "a
Confederate veterans home, then said
lands. with ap~purtenances, shall revert
back TO the State; therefore, be it
Resolved by w. A. Percy Camp No.
23s, Confederate Veterans, first, That
We petition the legislature of the State
of Mississippi to provide asuitable home
in which worn out and INDECENT ex-Con-
federate soldiers may find a safe refuge
from adversely and want.
Second, That in pursuance Of the idea
embodied in the foregoing resolution,
We call upon every camp in the State to
Join in a memorial to the legislature at
its next session to make the necessary
appropriation for the purchase of o
suitable site and the erection of a nice,
comfortable home for Confederate vet
Grams, and to provide By suitable legis-
lation for the maintenance and proper
conduct Of the same.
Third, That the commander and adju-
tant of this camp be and are hereby in
structed to confer with the other camps
in this State in order that a proper
memorial may be prepared in time to
present to our State legislature at its
coming session.

The total value of imports during the
last fiscal year was : 3l,957,s'5' against
1854, 1874. see the previous year. an IN
crease Of $40, 1858, 253. In view OF the
great industrial and commercial oe-
preston which prevailed last year the
value of imports was large, 1t having
been exceeded ouly five times in tue
history Of the country
On the other hand, the value OF do
mestic exports was 1913, 397, $50, against
$500, 204, 937 the year before, a decrease
of SIS. sO7, O47. Notwithstanding the
large increase in imports and decrease
in exports, the latter exceeded the tor'
mer by SCI, 44O,0l5. The exports of last
year have been exceeded eight tunes
in our history, and once-in ls9@-oy
over S242, 900, 900.
In view of the fact that for ten
months of the last fiscal year the I'M
ports came in under the new tarlff law
a comparison OF some of the prlncipai
items with the same for the year De-
fore will be of interest.
OF art works, which were put on the
free list by the new law, we imported
to the value OF S3,s43,0o7 last year,
against 81, 794, 1914 the year before. VI
chemicals, drugs and dyes, the duties
on which were materially reduced, we
imported S43, a52, $50 worth, against
S37, $50, ITO the year before. OF cotton
goods we imported $50, l95, 1913, against
S22, 346, 547 the year before; of earthen,
stone and chinaware, IS, $50, 034, against
Sc, s79,437: of iron and steel, S23,037,327
against sci, 3l4,4 S9; of leather and man
ui~actures thereof, Sl3, Sl9,0l9, against
s9,4l6, las. On all these goods the
duties were considerably reduced.
But while there was a decided in
crease in the importation of all these
articles. the duties on which were
moderately reduced, there was also an
| increase in imports Of goods which
were free under the old law and still
remain free. Thus there was an IN
crease from 800, l4,676 to SOC, l29,3 1926 IN
coffee, from SIC, 1856, l52 to S26, l?@,9o IN
hides and skins others than furs, and
from SIS. 162, 1888 to Sls,477,067 in un-

MALARIA AND WATER.
Precautions Necessary for Preservation
of Health.

Precautions Necessary for Preservation
of Health.
The most recent scientific authori-
ties are of the opinion that malaria is a
water-born disease, In vast malarial
habitants breathe, but the water they
drink which brings on the much dread
Ell malarial fever. That is the case in
some sections Of the land has been
clearly proved by the immunity from
such families as depended on filtered
rain water and not on the wells of the
country. 1t has also been noted that
horses and other animals brought into
certain sections of the country thr,ved
well SO long as they were housed and
drank from the cistern supply of the
barns, but sickened and died when left
to wander in the fields and drink from
brooks and pools. If this sh ould be
clearly proven it might be possible to
stamp out one of the greatest evils Of
life in some sections of the country. 1t
is not a difficult matter to collect the
rain water in a clean c~istern. 1t
should be passed through a filtsring
medium that is frequently renewed, as
it is now known that a filter too long
in use becomes one of the most effect.
i've means of concentrating the water
it is intended to purify. The filter
that is clogged up with impurities is
far worse than o at all, and this is
the condition of a great many c~istern
filters, AS an extra pr~ecaution, even
the cistern water ought to be boiled,
poured in a clean earthen jar and
cooled in a pure atmosphere. The ice
formed from contaminated water is al.
most as Objectionable as the unfrozen
water itself, as a large number of bac.
terra are undisturbed by frost. Such a
jar of boiled water should be daily re.
newed, as if it is left standing II
length of time it will soon take on the
same Objectionable features as the
water of the country N. Y. Tribune.
