Ny DEAR SIR:-I have heard with
great surprise the action of the District
Executive Committee, which met at
Jackson, May 5th. This action is es-
pecially open to objection and criticism
in view of the fact that the personnel
in said Committee meeting, could
scarcely be considered representative,
in that personal representatives from
only six counties were present and
four of these counties through their
representatives, protesting against the
hasty action and the measure finally
adopted almost entirely by Kinds coun-
ty votes, cast bv Kinds county mem bers
and Kinds county citizens, who were
acting as proxies, for members from
other counties. Now / write this open
letter to ask whether you will join me

What means the petition now being
circulated for signatures and appeal
ing to the Supervisors to continue the
pittance now allowed by the county to
our disabled Confederate Veterans?
Perhaps we fail to understand correct
ly the intention of the Board in the ac-
ton proposed, but if they even harbor
the thought of casting these old heroes
overheard and throwing them upon the
pauper list. then, with all the emphasis
of our nature, we are led to exclaim
GREAT GOD, WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING
TO! A mere hint of such action is a
humiliation to these old battle-scarred
veterans as well as to the people whose
sacred duty it is to honor and protect
them. To keep them in comfort and
to steady their totterlng footsteps at
the sunset of life is not charity, but a
DEBT we owe to the noblest souls who
ever spent four of the best long years
of their lives in the grandest saturnalia
of war ever invoked by human deprav-
ity, and barred their breasts to the
storms of shot and shell in defense of a
cause, though lost, still dear to every
Southern heart. Dismantled and dis
abled old warriors, twice conquered in

last by old age and misfortune. In a

The sunfiower crop is one of the best
paying in Russia. A good crop is worth
as it stands in the field, $25 an acre.
The seeds are sold by the farmer for
from four shillings to six shlllings a
pound: then the merchant salts them
and retails them for twelve cents a
pound, and at every street crossing in
Russian provincial cities are stands and
peddlers with baskets, selling to the
passerby the sailed product of the big
sunfower, which is eaten.-Chicago

nation comes from Canton and its
reliability cannot be questioned. II is
the opinion OF the president-eleot that
no revenue legislation can be accom-
plished this winter, and, though news
paper dispatches disagrea regarding
his attitude toward the present agita-
ton for the Dingley bill, there Is sub
stantiaI authority for the statement
that Mckinley Is averse to raising ex-
pectations as TO its enactment which,
in his judgment. cannot be realized.
He fears that the business community
would become demorallzed should the
bill be passed in the house again only
to be laid aside by the senate, and he
does not share Senator Sherman's opin-
ion that the measure can pass the SEN
ate before the reorganization Of that

Mckinley wants Hanna to accept the
treasury portfolio. Hanna, however,
believes 1t to be a greater honor to be
senator But Sherman stands in the
way of that. Mckinley will offer
Sherman the position of secretary of
state. Should Sherman become one Of
McKinley's advisers thus giving up
his seat in the senate, Hanna will be-
come his successor. Mckinley will
not decide on his course until he learns
exactly what position Sherman will
take.
