There occurred at the Home
on Thursday morning, one of the
saddest deaths in the history of
| Greenville. Mr.. D. Mckay Rice,
a prominent young man of Mem
phis, was travelling in the interest
Of a largo wholesale shoe house,
and this city was included in his
MISUNDERSTANDING frequent
trips here. His bright, sunny
disposition and noble traits Of
character, had endeared him to
many who will ever remember
him and deplore his untimely
death. Ills truly said sin the
midst of Life we are in Death. "
He came here about ten days ago
perfectly well and was soon taken
with pneumonia while at the hotel,
His physician realizing he could
have better attention at the Home
under the care of Miss Carlos "a
hired nurse from Memphis he
vas taken there Monday and his |
friends hoped he would soon re- |
cover, but no! While apparently |
resting well the Angel Of Doath |
was lowering near, to swoop down
and claim his young spirit. His J
poor mother had been telegraphed |
For and arrived some hours before
ais death, which was some conso-
alton at least IT'S truly O sad
hing, aud one which touched the
hearts of the young men who knew
md loved him-they were his pail
bearers, Messrs. L. G. Gwin, I.
i. Hood, Kendall Smith, Jim
Anderson, W. G. Yerger, Jr.,
Will Newman, II. II. Jarman.
Ills remains were taken to his
Iome in Memphis Thursday morn
ng--the home be so recently left
nth promise of s happy returnl
iany we're the prayers sent up
D Heaven for that poor g1ief {
Jrioken mother in this her first {
nd greatest sorrow. She and '
Ir. Jim Anderson accompanied {
lie remains.

PRIZE LONG STAPLE COT
TON SEED.

Several years ago a stalk Of
long staple was found in q field OF
King Cotton. Two springs AGO I
secured seine of these seed, and in
the fall of 1895 l was awarded the
first prize Of $3.50 at the Wick burg
Fair, and sold the bale at Is cents
a pound. Last spring after the
high water went down | planted
this cotton again, and on rich lard
it made Just as much, aid ripeped
as early as the most prolific hot
staple. The Yicksburg Gotten
Co., sold this cotton for me "a 4
was picked by ordinary tenants
over the whole plantations at 90
cents when other cotton was SELF
ing at 81. The length of staple s
| 8 inches, and it has a small seec.

sippi River. l have a Unite /
quantity of extra pure seed which
will sell atvery reasonable rates. i

NATIONAL QUARANTINE.

1t will be seen from the re3ou-
ton published in today's paper
that Greenyille, in common with
with Vicksburg and other cities
in the quarantine district, is taking
what steps are practi cable to en-
sure national control of the sys-
tenn for preventing the spread OF
infectious diseases. The whole
South, and indeed the whole coun-
try is interested in this subject,
having in mind the generalization
and damage to all business and
personal interests consequent upon
such a condition as that which ex-
isted throughout Mississippi la t
summer, and earnestly desiring to
prevent its recurrence. While
careful inspection of suspected
places developes the fact that no
cases of yellow fever exist in
any of them, the winter has been
one of unusual mildness, and along
the coast the cold has at no time
been sufficiently severe to warrant
the belief that the germs Of the
disease have been entirely EXTERN
mated, Its temperance in New
Orleans would be the occasion for
general panic, and without wise
and systematic action, would re-
suit in the same establishment of
shotgun guarantees and universal
paralysis of business which was
the worst feature of the really
trivial epidemic of last summer.

at night, which the general rub
lie could attend, and ut which the
subject could be thoroughly dis
cussed. The matter is too serious
to be decided without profound
reflection.
The TINES will, in its next is
sue, present to its readers a very
able article on the subject of
Municipal Ownership, from high
authority, in which the subject is
treated exhaustivelv, and, while
directly opposed to the plan, is
yet written clearly, dispassionate-
ly and judicially, and is based up
on u number of examples cited.
tmust not beunderstood that The
TINES is committed either to the
system of private control or of Mu-
nicipal Ownership. There is much
to be SAID in favor of and against
each. The conditions in the COM
munity must be taken into con-
sideration, and especially the fnan-
cial ability of the city to embark
in an enterprise so extensive. THE
TINES will gladly publish any com
munications on the subject which
may be sent to it by citizens, and
earnestly solicits such expressions,
without regard to their bias.

Important Resolution.

Greenville, Miss, Feb. rs, 1898
At meeting of the Directors
of the Board of Trade, of the City
of Greenville, held this day, the
following resolution was unani-
mou5ly adopted;
RESOLVED, That approaching
the great Importance of protection,
by rigid quarantine, from yellow
fever and other contagious and in +.
fictitious disease, and realizing the
imperfections Of State and County
guarantees, which are inadequate
from the nature Of the end sought
t. be accomplished, and result in
the greatest bardships and losses
to the people, and in the complete
paralyzlng of trade and commerce;
this Board favors and respectfully
urges upon our Senators and rep
ressntatives in Congress the estab
Iishment of National quarantine,
and the placing of protection, by
quarantine, entirely in the hands
If the National Government.

REASSURlNG.

1t is stated by authority from
headquarters that steps will be
Immediately taken to repair the
break in the revetment near the
Blanton house, and that the main
levee at that point, which is threat
ened by the encroachment of the
river, will at once be placed back
at safe distance.
The experience undergone by
Greenville before the revetment
was built or the security of its
harbor undertaken is fair excuse
for the anxiety felt and expressed
whenever any damage to its pro-
lection work occurs. The prompt
and efficient manner in which the
break caused by last years high
water wasrepaired was reassuring,
and no further injury appears to
have been done to the revetment
at this point by the present rise.
The holes st the old brick yard
and in the neighborhood of the
BlantoD house are trivial by com
parison, and the assurance that
work will be commenced on them
as soon as the river recedes suffi-
GENTLY should be enough to quiet
any apprebenoions on this subject.

The seven white convicts who
escaped from the stockade of the
Randolph plantation on the Bogue
are still at large, and the
newspapers contain minute de-
scriptions Of them. Among the
number is Brooks Story, the no
tonous outlaw, whose criminal
career reads like romance. The
men escaped by saving through
the wooden walls. How they be-
came possessed of the saw is a
mystery The circumstances Of the
escape are being made the subject
of careful and thorough inspec-
ton.

Mr.. John Kemper has struck q
bonanza in the shape of an artesian
well on his plantation two miles
south of Stonewall, Clarke county.
The well is only lit feet deep, and
flows 120 gallons per minute.
The pressure is so great that the
stream shoots fifty feet in the air.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Kemper
to sink another well about a mile
from this one and irrigate bis

The following circular has been
issued for the next triennial con
clave to be held at Pittsburgh,
Penn, Oct. 10 to IA, 1898;
"Greenyille, Miss, Feb. 25, 1898.
Dear Sir and Frater:
"The Grand Commandery of
the State Of Mississippi, at It's an
nual concIave, held at Water Val
ley on Feb. 8 last appointed the
undersigned a committee OF ar
engagements for the Triennial Con
clave to be held at Pittsburgh,
Pa, from Oct. 10 to IA, 1898, in
elusive. This committee is OK
tremly anxious that the Templars
Of Mississippi shall be creditably
represented at this triennial. We
feel that much good may result to
our believed and magnanimous or
der, if we can gather together at
this conclave a large and respec-
table number of Sir Knights. In
deed we think such a gathering of
Sir Knights would do much to-
wards impressing strangers rom
other states with the nobility and
dignity of the manhood of Missis-
sippi, and would thus be OF in
calculable benefit to our state; and
we feel no hesitancy in saying that
this occasion will be most delight
full socially for those who attend.
No one can estimate to its fullest
measure the degree and amount of
pleasure that will come to each
Sir Knight from the intercourse
with other true and valiant Sir
Knights who will gather there.
''lt is the purpose Of the COM
mittee to make arrangements with
the railroads so as to give all who
go, most delightful itinerary by
taking them to Washington,
Niagara and other points of inter-
est. This will be done as
cheaply as possible. The commit
tee will also arrange quarters at
for all Sir knights and
their families. Each Sir Knight
will be expected to bring his uni
form and go in parade.
SIN order that Mississippi
Templars may be credit to them
selves and to the order they repre-
tent, the Grand Commandery has
slowed your committee asuticient
und to make our party a success.

After Buckley O'Neili had gone to the war in which he so gallantly fought and gave up his life, he wrote to his brot her as follows:
 II hope Wilson will be nominated for congress and that my friends will do all they can to elect him."
 How in the face of this can Buckley '< followers support Brodie. Buckley O'NeilI placed principle above glitter ing glamor and were he alive to-day he would be stumping the Territory in support of Wilson, for he is the de fender and supporter of the principles so dear to the heart of Buckey O'NPill He left the Republican party because "f its rottenness and asked, before his death, that his friends support the free silver champion.
