PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.

The Mississippi Synod of the
Presbyterian church will convene
in the First Presbyterian church
in this city on Tuesday, Novem-
her 18th, and will probably re-
main in session three or four
days. There will be about sew
enty- five delegates in attendance,
and on each evening during the
continuance of the session there
will be services at the church
which will be of interest to the
general public. 1t is the privilege
of the retiring moderator to ap-
point some minister to deliver the
opening sermon, but Hon. T. W.
Summerville, of Oxford, who is
the retiring moderator, has, as
yet, made no announcement in
regard to the matter. As soon as
he makes a selection, however,
the fact will be made public
through the columns of the Com

A REMARKABLE CASE.

A few days ago we were noti-
fled of a case that was awaiting
our attention, and we sent our
representative to look into the
matter and report. On his re-
turn he informed us that it was a
very important matter, to which
we had better give our personal
attention; he had found it at the
freight depot and was unable to
move it without assistance. Our
man knew that the proper course
was for him to bring it to us at
once, which he did, and it was
then at our front door. A hasty
examination showed US that it
was a we'll developed case of
Stein Bloch Smart Clothes, for
which we had been anxiously
waiting. The clothes were fresh
from the factory and beautiful
specimens of the wholesale tailor
ing art. They are now in our
store, and we shall be very glad
to show them to you if you will
call at once, but don't delay, for
the Stein Bloch habit is conta-
gious, and is spreading rapidly
in this section.

THANKSGIVING SERMON.

We mark November upon the
calendar because it is the month
of Thanksgiving Day. 1t was a
wise provision of the Pilgrims
when they set apart one day in
the year on which to turn their
thoughts on themselves and
count their blessings. We are
far too apt to forget the blessings
and count the sorrows; but even
in the lives of the most humble
it is probable that the former
outnumber the latter two to one,
and it is a good thing TO culti-
vate the habit of looking for
them. When Diogenes took the
lantern to look for an honest
man he implied pretty plainly
that he did not expect to find
one, Diogenes was a grumbler.
tt he had gone out with a smile
and more confidence in his fell
lows he would have stumbled
over honest men at every corner.
1t is the same with blessings.
Whoever sits down with a scowl
on his face and meanness in his
heart will find this world a
cloudy place. But let him take
for his lantern a smile, a little
faith in womankind and in God,
and the world will blossom abun-
dainty. A mans blessings are
all in his own heart. If he keeps
that pure and open and cheerful,
the world will appear so. He
may not be rich in material
way, but it is not of the great
things that life is made up. 1t
is of the little things. To see the
blue of the sky and many green
trees; to talk for while with a i
good friend; to read some spiri-
ted piece of verse or some help
full book; to sit down to a dinner,
however simple, with a healthy
to be able to do some
little favor Cor a friend which |

ton is in no way damaged by the
picker, and as little is left on the
stalks as is usual by the ordinary
negro.
The inventor, a Mr.. Campbell,
of Pittsburg, Pa, has been at
work on the machine for fifteen
years. He does not yet claim it
to be perfect, but the difficult
problems have all been solved !,
and before another season rolls
around the machines will doubt
less be on the market and in use
by the larger planters.
The gentlemen backing the en-
terprise have spent something
like S175, 900, but they felt that
their reward would eventually
come, and it is the belief of those
who have seen the machine work
that they will not be disappoint-
ed. To show their confidence in
the ultimate results and their
honesty in dealing with the pub
lie, they have refused to sell any
of the stock or a single one of
the machines.
1t is the opinion of The Com
mercial that this machine will
solve the labor question in the
delta, especially so far as picking
cotton is concerned.

WANT LONG CONTRACT.

At a meeting of the city coun-
Gil which was held last Thurs
day night the Columbus Light
and Power company submitted
a proposition for the city light
ing, which is virtually the same
as that submitted last spring,
before the street car rider was
tackled on. The company asks a
franchise for ninety nine years,
a contract for fifteen years and
wants the city to pay 500 per
annum for each light on an all
night, schedule or $50 per light
for moonlight schedule, the
minimum number of lamps on
an all night schedule to be SO,
and the minimum number on
mo onlig h t schedule to be
be 81. The city is now issuing
40 lights, for which the sum of
S72 per annum for each is paid.
If the proposition of the Electric
Light and Power company is ac-
cepted the city will pay S13
more per annum for each light on
the moonlight schedule, which is
the one in effect at present, or
S24 more per annum in the event
that the all night service is in
augurated. The proposition
caused considerable discussion
among the members of the coun-
Gil, and the matter was finally
referred to the light committee,
which consists of Mayor Lincoln |
and Councilmen Chapman and |
McClanahan.
The council fixed the levy for |
the ensuing year at 8 mills.
This is one-half mill in excess of
the levy for the previous year,
which was s 1-2 mills.

THE LAYING OF
THE CORNER STONE.

The laying of the corner stone
of the Mount Vernon school,
which is being erected by the
citizens of the Dow neighbOr-
hood occurred last Monday, the
exercises being conducted with
Masonic ceremonies and being
witnessed by large number of
people from Columbus and from
other sections of the county.
The new school house, which is a
handsome two-story structure, is
not yet quite completed, but its
construction is so far advanced
that the exercises were held in
the new building.
The laying of the corner stone
was preceded by the exercises

family, having been the brother
of Rev. w. B. Murrah, who is

COTTON PICKING
MACHINE.

A great deal has been said and
written lately about the cotton
picking machines now being test
ed in the delta, and there are
many who doubt that a machine
has been or can be made to do
the work. Such people, howev-
er, can have the doubt removed
by visiting the fields where these
machines are operating. The
editor of this paper was in Green
vile a few days ago and accepted
an invitation to go out and See
one of them at work. While he
had heard and read of these
wonderful machines, he had but
little faith in them, but after
spending several hours watching
the operation of one, he made up
his mind to accept it as alright and
decided that the inventor must
be genius of rare gift to live in
Pennsylvania and devise a ma
chine, the use of which never was
or ever will be available in that
state.
To describe the machine in all
of its details would be an impos-
sibility for any one not familiar
with its mechanism, but an idea
may be had when it is stated
that it is mounted on four wheels,
two of which contain the gearing
by which it is operated with an
automobile engine. The machine
straddles the row of cotton to be
picked; the limbs of the stalks
are drawn to the center of the
drill, and as the machine passes
over them the picking arrange
ment does its work. How, we do
not know, but it is done. The
cotton is then carried to the top
of the machine by means of ele-
vators-one on each side-and |
into sacks holding from
rs to 100 pounds each. The cot

MISS ANNIE
MANNING DEAD.

The many Columbus friends
of Miss Annie Manning were
made sorrowful last Monday
when the sad news of her death,
which occurred at Denver, Col
orado, reached here. The an
nouncement, however, created
little surprise, for her friends
and relatives knew that she had
been in very poor health for
many months past, and had
gone to Denver in the hope that
the climate would prove benefic-
ial to her health, but the hope
proved a vain one, and she
gradually grew weaker and more
feeble until the Death Angel f.
nally came and released her soul
from the pain ridden body which
formed its earthly encasement.
Miss Manning was young Ia
dy possessed of fine character
and of many noble traits which
endeared her to all with whom
she came in contact. The Com
mercial begs to extend to the
relatives of the deceased its sim
cere sympathies and condo
lences.
The remains were shipped to
Aberdeen for interment., the
funeral having occurred there at
one clock yesterday afternoon.

THE ELECTION.

The election which was held
Monday passed off very quietly
in Columbus, as it did elsewhere
throughout the country. Hon.
E. S. Gambler, jr., the democrat
ic nominee for congress, had no
opposition, and but little interest
was taken in the affair. The vote
against the three proposed
amendments TO the constitution
was large throughout the entire
State, and they were all three
defeated.

While these figures are antic pated. 1t must be remembered that the returns to the bureau compiled to Aug. 25th and therefore do not include the general rains which took place last night and today in the whole middle and eastern section of the belt.
