At a called meeting of Vim. L.
Brandon Camp of Sons of Confede-
rate Veterans, held at the Court
house on Tuesday, the following
officers were elected to serve for
the ensuing year.;
S. 0. Stockett, Commandment.
R. G. Jones, 1st Lieut..
]. K. Sessions, I'd " "
Robt. Lewis, Adjutant.
DR.. c. E. Catchings, Surgeon.
w. ]. Miller, Quartermaster.
Geo. J. Adams, Treasurer.
w. J. Stockett, Chaplain.
Abe Cohen, Color Sergeant.
Mason Snowdon, Historian.
The following set Of resolutions,
by Mr.. w. ]. Stockett, were unan-
imouslY adopted:
Resolved, That a barbecue and
reunion be held on the 18th OF
August next, by this Camp.
Resolved, That Hon. w. F.
Tucker be and he is hereby invited
to deliver an address on the occa-
sion in behalf of this Camp.
Resolved, That all Confederate
Veterans be and are hereby invited
to participate with the sons.
Resolved, That a committee OF
FIVE be appointed to have charge of
the barbecue and reunion.
This action on the part of this
Camp will meet with general APP
proval, and in fact every old Con-
fed we have spoken to on the sub
ject is heartily in favor of the move
ment. The lack of spirit and en-
thusiasm among old Confeds has
been apparent for many years and
such a reunion as this is calculated
to renew the ties and love for the
cause for which the young manhood

The list of officers who fought so
CALAMITY in the cause they believed
to be right, is gradually being
thinned out to rest beyond the river.
The last to join the legions gone
before is General Wade Hampton,
the famous Confederate cavalry
leader, who died at his home in
Columbia, S. c., on last Saturday.
His greatness did not end with his
magnificent achievements during
the civil war, for upon his return to
his home state, he brought order
out of chaos and rendered a service
for the state during his executive
career, that will cause his name to
be brought down to posterity as the
states deliverer from carpet bag
rule. The people of South Carroll
ma must certainly bow in shame
over their treatment of him in later
years-a lack of appreciation for
worth, that is blot upon a civiliz-
ed people.

Hon. w. ]. Bryan has moved
from Lincoln, Nebraska into his
barn on his farm four miles from
that city, where himself and family
will live until their handsome new
residence, now being erected, is
completed. From a barn to the
White House at Washington seems
like a pretty big thing, but who
knows but what the Nebraska
statesman will yet cover the dis
tance?-Yazoo City Herald.
The distance pales into insignifi-
canoe when the step is attempted
by the right man, but two trials
made by Billy Bryan proves conclu-
sively the futility of men of his
stripe making the test. Bryan is
resting easy at present, and for the
sake of the Democratic party, let
him remain so. A little pap at in
tervals will keep his heart beating
and his tongue wagging.

The beef trust has raised the
price until now a 6rst-class steak is
selling In New York at thirty-two
cents per pound, with the prospects
of another rise of one half cent. The
northern people now have a sample
of the work of the vampires they
have been fostering, and perhaps
they will join the South in sup
pressing them. Should the trusts
be allowed to run scot free to prey
upon the people at will, such rev.
olutiop will be the outgrowth as
this country has never before wit
messed. The working-mau, when
deprived of his bread by putting it
out of his reach by raising the price,
must of necessity, resort to some
stringent means or die of starva-
ton.

Strange Life of Miss Hall Who Mas
uueraded ms n Nynn Comes Out
Through Legal Proceedings.

The story of the strange life OF Miss
Caroline Hall, who died on the steam
ship City of Turin last fall while COM
ing TO America dressed as MAN to
obtain money from her father. John
Hall, of 26 Center street, Roxbury,
Mass, has at last been made public.
Miss Giuseppina Boriani. who came as
the wife" of the supposed man on the
steamship. and who went back to
Milan, Italy, has returned to sue John
Hall for $4,000 for ten years salary
as companion to his daughter and for
$500 loaned to the strange woman.
Miss Boriani is handsome woman,
45 years old She says she was under q
salary of $50 month for ten years as
Miss Halls companion, but was never
paid. She states that Miss Hall was
known as a woman when she entered
her service, but soon after abandoned
skirts for trousers. because she loved
hunting and was hampered by skirts.
"She frequently had men as her
guests on shooting trips. said Miss
Boriani, ''and she was the best hunts
man of the set. She lived the life of G
man about town in Milan, and drank
and smoked with men in cafes. He7
| friends knew she was woman, blu,
| others did not"

HER DREAM BROUGHT LEGACY
Small Sum of Money Which Had
Been Left to Her.

A dream was worth $500 to Mrs. Jen-
ME Cannon, former resident of Sioux
Falls, S. D., but who now lives at Min
neapolis. Mrs. Cannon is the daugh-
ter of Austin Carson, farmer living
in Minnehaha county, S. d. Some
years ago she left home and was mar
ried and living in Duluth. A couple of
children were born and gradually she
dropped off all her correspondence. 1t
was not long before her relatives in
South Dakota began to think she was
dead. In the meantime Ole Ostensen
had died, leaving her a legacy. Search
was made for her by the admfnistra-
tors of the estate, but without sue
cess. Then came the dream. Mrs.
Cannon dreamed that her father was
sick unto death. The dream was so
vivid and impressed her to such an
extent that she wrote him letter
of inquiry. The answer to her letter
was the news that she was entitled
to a portion of the money left by Os-
tensen. Mrs. Cannon at once went
to Sioux Falls with her children end
secured the money.

SHOWS MARKED IMPETUS.
Some Facts Rearding Direct Trade
Relations between United States
md Ernfhcrrt Er,,nrN

One of the features Of the year 1901
in connection wiTh the Importation Of
manufactures from the United States
to southern France has been that, for
the first time in the history Of the
trade, direct importations have &C.
CURED from the manufacturers to the
docks at Nice. Interested parties had
for some time been indicating that q
marked impetus would be given to the
trade by this means. 1t was pointed
out that the geographical position of
Nice was such that the hnrbor need
not depend upon the distributive cen
tiers. as was heretofore the case, nor
submit to the increased cost caused by
long railroad Journeys, to the very con-
siderable profit of the middlemen. d.
rect Importation was noted of small
machinery, job and newspaper print
Ing presses, paper-cutting machines,
patent clasp envelopes, fine emboss-
ing card work and paper; and orders
are now on the way for o number of
other manufactures. The result will
be that the list of United States arti-
Giles figuring in the custom house re-
turns as importations will, 1t is esti-
mated, be doubled, II not trebled, in
1902. The final results of the inaugu-
ration of this direct trade can hardly
be realized yet, as the saving must GER
tainly amount to not less than 80 per
cent. When it is said that goods may
be carried by sea on through bills of
lading from New York at about rs
shillings per ton, weight or measure
ment. the source of great saving will
readily be perceived. If the saving of
commissions and middlemen's profits
be added, the enormous incentive to
trade that will result can be readily
understood
Direct importation, inaugurated by
some of the consular officers of the
United States, appears to be the sys-
tenn of commercial expansion Of the
future.

MANY NEW BUILDINGS

Measure.
BILL HAS OVERWHELMING MAJORITY
Distributes S17.4O5,45O for Public
Buildings In IVA Cities Gen.
Smith Again Subject of
Senate Discussion.

Washington. April 3O.--Under spe-
cih order. which allowed three hours
dsbata, but which cut off I'LL oppor-
tunity OF amendment, the house on
Tuesday passed an omnibus public
building bill, which will distribute $17,-
4O5, 45O among 174 cities. AS the bill
covers into the treasury 81 ,5s5, 900, the
total amount carried by the bill is re-
duced to that extent The bill pro-
vides for ~ new buildings and sites,
six buildings on sites already pur-
chased. II buildings on donated sites
and So increases in appropriations for
buildings already authorized. 1t also
provides for the purchase of 16 sites.
The majority for the bill was SO
overwhelming that only nine members
backed demand for the ayes and noes
on the passage of the bill. There was
SOME criticism of the method by which
it was proposed to pass the bill with
out opportunity for amendment,
which Mr.. Mercer. chairman of the
committee, answered by stating that
If the bill had been subject to amend
ment the appropriations carried by it
would have been increased to Sex, OOO,-
900. The consideration of the agricul-
talral appropriation bill was resumed.

Wants to Apologize for 177e.

David Christie Murray, the novelist
and playwright, has written letter
to the London Daily Chronicle with
reference to the Anglo-American COM
mittee, which was inaugurated under
the presidency Of the duke of Suther-
land at Stafford house couple of
years ago, to promote an entente cor-
dale, but which has since remained
dormant and is now sending circulars
to its members asking them to assist
in platform propaganda. Mr.. Muir
ray thinks that all impartial English
men have for century past regretted
the blunder which led to the war. He
says: "We owe it to ourselves by all
the means open to brave and honor
able race to repair and atone for the
folly of ancestors"
