This Is given. to show what is
brought in to the Treasurer by the
fee bill which was gotten up and urged
by the lamented ]. L. Power, Secre-
tary of State for six years.
The Board of Trustees of the Indus
trial College met in Jackson last week
and transacted large amount of bust
ness of importance. President Kin.
cannon submitted his splendid report,
which establishes the right Of our
girls college to be esteemed potent
factor in the upbuilding of the State
in all that is good and great. The
only trouble about the college is that
it is not, in size, half equal to the de-
mands made upon it by the public.
To accommodate all who would enter
there the buildings would have to be
increased twofold, the faculty would
need to be doubled and everything else
doubled or trebled except the presi-
dent. He seems able, "single-handed
and alone" to cope with the innumer-
able difficulties and to meet the mani
fold requirements Of one Of the most
exacting and important positions in
the State. Certainly, under his wise
administration, Mississippis Indus
trial College has accomplished mar
wells, despite its youth. Every State
in the South would be richer and bet
ter and happier could our example
be followed in the establishment of in
dustrial schools for their sons and
daughters.
Among the young Mississippians of
whom the State is proud, Blewett Har-
rison Lee, only son of the beloved
Gen. Stephen D. Lee, stands near the |
head of the line. This able young |
attorney has just been chosen, from
the bar of Chicago, to fill an impor-
tant position among the legal advisers |
of the Illinois Central road as general
attorney. We rejoice in his success
for his own sake and for the sake of
his distinguished father.
The town of Learned, on the Natchez
road, thirty miles from Jackson, was
almost destroyed by fire Tuesday
The loss is at least $4,000
in excess of insurance. This Is a So
we're blow to the town and its excel
ent citizens.
Senator Money has reintroduced and
will push with vigor his bill to dis
.ribute among Southern claimants the
'und of more than $5,000,000 which
las accumulated in the treasury from
he sale of captured and abandoned
cotton.
The parents and friends, as well as
he students, will rejoice that the
BOARD of Trustees has rescinded the
I'D resolution limiting Christmas holt
laws to one day. 1t now rests with
he president of the |. l. & G. to say
what time SQdll NC given AOA hOlAudJo
It Christmas, and the girls have no
ear but that the time will be ample
or the enjoyment of the many pleas
res of which already they are dream
ng.

ertaining the Mississippi (annuaD
difference of the Methodist Episcopal
,hurch, South, last week. Bishop
Iorrison of Kentucky presided, and an
nusual number of distinguished
uests were present.
