The STATE FLOWER;

Number OF Pupils of the Geenvle Public School Write Their
News--The Cotton Boil Their Preference

AS the question, what shall be the
sIate hover for our state, has presented
ltsel1 TO us, it has been suggested by
Colonel Powell, secretary of state, that
the hover should be either the magno.
la, the narcissus, or the chrysanthe-
mum. Colonel Powell thinks the former
would be preferable, because it grows
wild in the state, also for the reason
that the magnolia could be used in dec
Grafton and could represent the state
elsewhere very well.

on this point; it has been suggested by
one ofmy classmates, and l had thought
OF it also, that the cotton boil should
be selected as the state flower, I do
not think the chrysanthemum would
be preferable, because it is the national
flower of Japan. l do not think the
narcissus would be preferable, for it
could only be obtained for a few
months in the spring. l do not think
the magnolia would be preferable, be-

think the cotton boil would better
represent the state, because Mississippi
is known the world over for it's cotton
production; again, because the open
cotton boil could easily be saved and be
kept in use all the year.
For our state flower l suggest that
we have the magnolia, as it can be got
ten by almost every one in the state,
where it grows wild and plentiful.
AS for its beauty, you cannot find
flower that is more beautiful than the
magnolia. Though it is white, it is
rich in color. We want white flow

should be. We hope it is as pure as
the flowers that grow In 1t,
1t is true that it is large and rather
stiff, but haven't other states flowers
that are just as large, and if we wish
to wear our flower we can have little

it is very nice to decorate with. 1t is

AS I1believe it is the question of the
hour, what Mississippis state flower
should be, | would like to ask some
questions, and give some reasons, for
thinking the cotton boil to be most
admirable one.
Where else in the universe is cotton
raised so extensively as in Mississippi?
What people depend upon it so much
as we do? 1t is our meat and bread;
our labor-in fact, our life. If the
crops in cotton fail, we fail.
During all the past years, since the
Civil war, we have been especially
noted for cotton. When we are away
from home, and see cotton, it certainly
reminds us of the South and Missis-
sippi. Whereas, should we see a
magnolia or chrysanthemum, we would
not be SO reminded of either.
We would like for foreigners, that is.
people Of other states, to think of us
in connection with cotton, for nothing is
prettier, purer or stronger.
At conventions, which, believe,
we frequently hold, we would, I am
sure, find cotton most serviceable
emblem, or badge; while the magnolia
would darken, as soon as bruised the
least bit. Another thing, right here,
should we want scarfpin, or neckpin,
of our flower, Canada has of her maple
leaf, what would be prettier than cot
ton bolls, enameled white and green?
There is no reason, that | can see,
why these other flowers should 'hold Il
candle" to the cotton boil.

RAT PROOF FENCE.

That the Hotel stables will have to
follow in the wake of the Pantheon
stables seems certain. If the Board is
TO follow out it's announced policy they
must go. The connection between the
two stables is patent. They are the
property of the same corporation, and
there has been mingling of employees
and probably interchange of harness
and Of horses as occasion required.
There were three cases of plague
traceable to the Pantheon. Two cases
of plague, both fatal, are traceable to
the Hotel stables. After the first case
of plague traceable to a Hotel stable
employe, the place was cleaned up and
fumigated, but in spite of that action
another case breaks out traceable to
the same source. There is nothing for
the Board to do but to follow out its
regular policy.
Before burning the property it is to
be strongly urged that a rat proof
fence should be put round it, With
the whole town entering upon a crusade
against rats, it is unjust to those who
are living in the vicinity of the stables
TO allow any chance for the rodents to
be driven from their present location
into the premises of others. 1t must
be remembered that there are a num-
Der of private residences around. The
cottage of Manager Lucas of the hotel
is on one side, and the Dexter premises
are on the other. H'
1t is no use saying that during a fire
the rats do not escape, or that the FIRE
men always drive them back, or that
two or three men with shot-guns can dc
the work, and exterminate the fleeing
rodents. Honolulu's experience can be
no different to that of any other city
in like conditions, and the rat proof
fence is the only effective method of
preventing the rats from escaping. The
people in the vicinity Of the stables are
unanimous in their desire for this pre-
caution.

ture Of the dead, few drives have been
taken, a buggy has broken down, some
few cigars have been smoked at the
expense of their owners, and the result
has been nil.
But such apathy should not be shown
now. There is no more pressing need
than this hospital. Every camp inspec-
tor, and every man engaged upon
camps as deputy superintendent or
guard thoroughly endorses its necessi-
ty. They have seen the homeless come
in, they have seen the squalid come in
and they have very thorough kuowl-
edge of the question. They know the
hopeless" home is necessary. The
place to die in.
The idea in this direction is that a
portion of the Kerosene camp, which
has been used as a detention camp
should be organic as home for in
curables, the bulk of whom would be
ton. The building is there, the Board
of Health could obtain the services of
physician or the services of some
charitably disposed physician might be
given, and money could be readily rails
ed for the purpose of running expenses
and the salary Of a nurse. The thing is
thoroughly feasible and has the support
of quite a number of people. Mr.. Low
rey brought the matter to the atten-
ton of the Board of Health, but no
action was taken upon it. 1t should not
be lost sight of, however, for it is an
institution that is grievously needed,
as all engaged in practical charity can

What torpedo destroyers might be
able to do against torpedo boats re-
mains yet to be seen. The Spanish
were very unfortunate with their tor
pedo destroyers the Pluton and Furor,
and one of these was tackled and sunk
by the unarmored yacht Gloucester. The
whole question of torpedo boats, tor
pedo destroyers and torpedo vessels is
an open one, which can only be settled
naval powers. A correspondent draws
attention to the fact that though Great
Britain is deficient in torpedo boats, she
excels all nations combined in the num-
Der of her torpedo destroyers.

The recovery of Hartman, the en-

stricken with plague, is an interesting
case. because it is the only one in which
the serum has played a successful part.
1t will be case which will have much
interest to the medical world. 1t should
also give confidence to patients suffer-
ing from plague and induce them to
reveal their symptoms instead of con-
cealing them, because prompt action
is the key stone of success.
