| of lieutenant colonel of that regiment.
In the spring OF 1862 he was elected
colonel of the Twenty ninth Mississippi

| ship in December, 1862. BY valor and
efficiency he then went to the position OF
major general in June. 1864, After the
| surrender of the Confederate troops ne
resumed the practice of law at Coffee
/ vile. and there remained until January,
| 1871, at which period in his career he
moved to Grenada and continued his
practice there until March, 1885. He was
delegate at large to the following ma
tonal Democratic conventions: 1858
1876. 1880. 1884, and 1896. In 1868 he
was one Of the vice presidents Of the con.
vention. and in 1876. 1880, 1854 and
| 1896 he was chairman of the of the Nils.
| sippi delegation of that body. He was
appointed TO the United States Senate as

and on March Il, 1885,, he took his seat.
He was elected by the Legislature of

entered the Senate in March. 1895, by
virtue of his election in 1892, and his
term of service would not have expired
until March 3, 1901.
General Wathall was one of the most
dashing and heroic soldiers of the Con.
federacy, performing succession of un.
usual achievements Of conspicuous mill,
tary service. His steadiness in defeat
and unquailing spirit and ready resources
in appalling disaster were signally shown
on several occasions and saved armies
from wreck. He was a manstay in
trouble, and came out of the war with o
rare fame.
In the Senate he made some powerful
expositions of the race questions. AS {
lawyer public man and United State.
Senator. he had shown the same valuable
qualities that marked him as Il soldier
and had been loyal, fearless and capable

Delta CrOp PrOSpects,

Dr. Sol Mcdowell manager of w. p
Richardson's farming interests in the
delta, was in jackson few days ago
visiting his family. DR.. Mcdowell has
about twenty plantations in charge,
comprising something like 100, ,00Oa
and says it will all be planted this sea-
son, fear of an overflow, especially
above Grcenville, having passed. Crops
are twenty days late in those sections
of the delta | have visited, says DR..
Mcdowell, but the prospect is good
for large yield The late Col. Ed
Richardson made as high rs %. 600 bales
of cotton and it is possible the several
plantations now owned by his children
will produce that number this season.

to the whole truth. Ten years
ago, the date of the last So
called special educational report,
less than four per cent. of the
inha bitantS attended such wretch
ed public schools, and almost use
less private schools, as Spanish
rule permitted. This means that
only one child out OF five hundred
was learning even reading and
writing. Taking the whole pOpu-
lation, less than l. per cent. Of
the colorcd, and less than - per
cent. Of the white, could read and
