No silkworm Business for Kansas

Wichita Eagle.
Secretary Wilson. who is weak on geog-
raphy and hair-trigger of speech, has
secured an appropriation of $4,000 from
Congress for the purpose of making ex-
periments in the raising Of silkworms and
the production of raw silk.
Kansas experience with the silk-worm
proved several things Among others,
that the silk-worm would pass a mulberry
tree by to eat himself cross-eyed on
Usage orange leaves. That he was as
delicate as a Poland China hog in chol-
era times and that he demanded as much
attention as teething baby in summer.
At first there were visions of fortunes
in every township, and ideas of forcing
FraSlce into bankruptcy became general
throughout Kansas. But by the time 5000
individual Kansans had crawled out OF
bed at midnight to roll French worm
over on his back and feel of his pulse, the
anti-silk-worm movement in Kansas grew
quite vigorous, and the silk-worm prop
uganda so far as this State was concern
ed, curled up like a caterpillar and died.
This isn't saying the silk industry
couldn't be made to succeed in Kansas.
1t is saying that the Kansan isn't built
on the French peasant model. We are
not the worm kind. Our style is more
in the line of a good, substantial Poland
China hog. damned so full of corn from
the semi arid regions that his fat has
shut his eyes and his kinky tail has dis
appeared in a dimple.

DEATH CAME TO LOYAL OLD
NEGRO AT MATTEL.
He Was Conspicuous Figure at
Confederate Reunion and His
Love for Men Who Wore
Grey Was Intense.

The Confederate war relics so fondly
cherished by Frederick Pouncy, an aged
negro of Mattel. Montgomery County.
were yesterday delivered to Sophia Bibb
Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy.
The receipt of the relics in Montgomery
signified that the faithful old negro had
passed from this life and that his last
wishes had been respected.
The devotion of the old negro to the
Confederate cause made him a remarka-
BILE figure among the members of his
race. He died on August 18th at his
home near Mattel. In accordance with his
dearest wish in life the relics which he
captured on the field of battle and which
he so highly priced were turned over to
the Sophia Bib Chapter.
The monetary value of the relics is
small, but they are no less priced by the
recipients who will carefully preserve
them in memory of the faithful old negro
who went to the grave proud that he
had followed the stars and bars and had
been loyal to the Confederacy.
The relics, which the old man bequeath-
ed to the chapter consists of blue uni
form, the sword of a on-commissioned
officer of artillery. a knife, fork and
spoon.
The Sophia Bibb Chapter, Daughter Of
the Confederacy received these relics
yesterday. They will be placed on exhi-
billion and preserved by the chapter at
the State capitol.
Pouncy went into the Confederate army
with his young master and with him he
served to the end. 1t was his boast that
he captured the relics at one OF the
rbloodiest battles of the war. They were
his dearest possession and he guarded
them with jealous care.
At the annual reunion of the Confed-
crate Veterans of Alabama held in Mont
. gomery last November one OF the most
UNIQUE and interesting figures was that

RELICS PRESERVED BY FREDERICK POUNCEY
DELIVERED TO DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY

OF Pouncey the negro veteran. He was
dressed in a time worn uniform of blue,
girded about with an old sword belt from
which dangled a weather beaten and
heavy artillery cword. He was present
at all exercises attendant upon the re-
union. At every gathering special atten-
ton was paid the old black soldier and
his face shone with the enjoyment of it
all
1t was here that he became acquainted
with the work of the Daughters of the
Confederacy and their labor in perpetual
ing the memory of those who wore the
grey. From the members of the chapter
he received many little kindnesses which
he did not forget when he returned to
his home in the country.
He became i'll about two months ago.
He was old and. realized that the end
was near. He sent for j. G. McLendon,
a leading citizen of Beat Is. In whom
Pouncey had the greatest confidence. He
told Mr.. McLendon that his years were
heavy upon him and he feared that he
would soon die. 1t was his wish he
said that the relics which had been the
pride of his life. should be given to the
Sophia BIB Chapter when death had
claimed him. He wanted to bestow them
where he said he knew that they would
be preserved.
At the old mans request Mr.. McLendon
wrote out a will bequeathing the relics
to the Daughters of the Confederacy, he
named Mr. McLendon as his executor
to see that his wishes were observed. The
old man never left his bed again. His
remains were laid to rest atSEbenezer
Church near Stoddard.
Pouncey was II years of age. Nearly
his entire life was spent in Beat 10.
From his childhood he lived in that sec
ton of Montgomery County with the ex-
ception Of the four years that he spent
in the service of the Confederacy. BY the
people among whom he lived he was
held in the highest esteem and respect.
White and black esteemed him and his
word was considered as good as his
bond.
He was the only negro in Beat Is tc
whom the registrars of Montgomery
County gave a certificate of registration
hut death summoned him before he had
| an opportunity of availing himself of the
! right and privilege that it bestowed.
