LITERARY NOTES.

The Christmas number of Success
is in many respects the most inter
esting its editors have yet published.
The table of contents is timely, varied
and interesting, the contributors be-
ing some of the most noted literary
people in public life.
Women in War is the general
title of series of articles dealing
with deeds of daring performed by
women on many battle fields. These
will form notable feature of the
Woman's Home Companion during
the year 1902.
Since the advent of the so-called
new woman" no one has been more
constant in opposing her masculine
tendencies than Cardinal Gibbons
As man of wide experience, with
opportunities for studying human
nature as varied and numerous as
they are unusual, he has been able to
investigate this phase of modern
life under the most favorable circum-
stances. His views of the question,
from thoroughly secular standpoint,
will be presented in an early number
of the Ladies' Home Journal under
the suggestive title Of "The Restless
Woman"

Cotton Statistics.

At the rate of State day the New
York Commercial has been publish
ing tabulated estimates of local cotton
stocks on hand, both outside and in
side the mills, and fertilizer consump-
ton and acreage of the crop now
planted. A summary of the series is
contained in the Commercial of the
8th inst. From this is shown consid-
erably more cotton on hand outside
of the mills than at this date year
ago, but an almost equal decrease in
mill takings. All of the States except
Mississippi nd Texas report decided
increase in consumption of fertilizers;
from per cent. in Louisiana to IL In
Tennessee. And all except Mississip-
pi report large acreage. The increase
in acreage is stated as follows: Ala
bama, o. 81, Arkansas. So; Georgia, 30;
Louisiana, "a; Mississippi, o; Nor, b
Carolina. 10; South Carolina, 5.3;
Tennessee, 10; Texas, 475. Acreage
estimates are always Appropriated
and often erroneous. Reports seem
rather larger in States where there
has been most talk of reductions-a
conundrum that is respectfully sub
mitted to president Harvey Jordan
and his fellow resolutioners.-Vfcks-

Killed His Bride of Two Weeks.


Brookhaven. May i0.-News reached
here today that Luther Lambert, a
Young farmer of Lawrence county, had
killed his bride of two weeks with a
bullet of a 44-calibre Colts, which
took effect in the abdomen. There
were no witnesses, and Lambert
claimed that the shooting was acct
dental. The young wife lived thirty
six hours after receiving her death
wound, and is said to have made an
ante norton statement to the effect
that she had told her husband just be-
fore the shooting that she was going to
see her mother, who lived in the neigh
borhood, starting to leave the house as
she did so. He then told her to hand
him his coat. which was hanging on
the wall near by, and on her turning
to do so, he called to her to look out
be was about to shoot. At the same
instant the pistol, which was pointed
toward her went off. At last accounts
no arrest I'd been mad The BRIDE
wife was not quite fourteen years old
and had eloped with Lambert and
married him exactly two weeks before
the shooting occurred The Times
Democrat Special.
The sad domestic tragedy above re-
ferred to, occurred in the neighbor
hood of Salisbury, Lawrence county.
Mr.. A. NJ. Brewer, of Salisbury, who
was in Brookhaven last Friday, in
formed The LEADER that the facts in
the case were substantially as recit-
ed above. He said Mrs. Lambert was a
Miss Walker before her marriage.

Benefit for Confederate Veterans.

Brookhaven, Miss, May 10, 1901
Private z. T. Hoskins, who publish
ed several weeks ago that he would see
that free transportation to the Mem
phis reunion was furnished to all ex-
Confederate soldiers who lost an arm
or leg while serving the "Lost Cause, "
If they would report the fact to him,
said today that he had sixty-two ap-
plicants registered up to date, who are
entitled to come in on his offer, with the
number daily increasing.
A delightful entertainment was Civ
en- at Heuck's Opera House here last
night under the direction of Miss
Lulah Ragsdale, for the benefit of the
INDECENT Confederates' fund, which re-
resulted in s63 house. Miss Rags
dale, who filed several important
numbers on the program, was assisted
by the following amateurs: Mesdames
Chrisman, Johnson and Flanagan,
Miss Seavey, Messrs. James J. Nc
Grath, L. A. Ragsdale, Claude Bowen
and M. D. Flood, and little "Sweetsie"
Chrisman and Baby Flanagan, the two
last being exceedingly "cute" in char.
acter songs. "Dixie," "The Bonnie
Blue Flag" "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the
Boys are Marching" and "Just Before
the Battle, Mother" were among the
favorite Southern war songs rendered.
During the singing of tramp, Tramp,
Tramp, the Boys are Marching" file
of gray and grizzled veterans of the
"Lost Cause" fled solemnly into the
hall to the front of the stage, while
one of their number, Col. E. M. Bee,
mounted the stage and planted the
Stars and Bars in full view of the au-
dience, where the banner remained
dropping while Miss Ragsdale, with
thrilling dramatic effect, recited Father
Ryan's poem, "The Conquered Banner"
Private Hoskins, who with no funds
of his own to start with, has under
taken this labor of love for the enjoy
ment of his old comrades in arms, and
who is giving a great deal of time and
work to it, expects other friends of his
and of the old soldiers, to help out as
Miss Ragsdale has done. The old SOL
diers who have sent in their names to
him are scattered all over Mississippi.
