MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
NOTES OF PAST AND CURRENT EVENTS.
By KATE MARKHAM POWER.
RxsRxkNW0Sots

Jackson was full and overflowing
last week with the legislators Of 1902
and the friends and interested parties
who had gathered to see the opening
Of the session. Promptly at high noon
"on the Tuesday after the first Mon
day in January" the gavel fell and
the two houses were called to order,
the Senate by Lieut.-Gov. Harrison
and the House by Speaker Russell.
Gov. Longino's excellent and COM
prehensive message has been so widely
read ere this that comment here would
be superfuous. 1t speaks for itself
and carries to every reader the convic-
tion that Mississippi's Governor has
at heart the interests of Mississippi's
people, and that he will do his ut
most to see that these interests are
protected. The first bomb thrown into
the camp of the solons was the report
from the penitentiary investigating
committee, which met and performed
arduous labor last summer. This re-
port will be published at once, and
the people may read for themselves
the findings Of their committee. The
next matter Of great interest was the
acceptance of an invitation from Mr..
Senter of the Vicksburg American and
the Columbus Commercial, and also
a member of the House, to both
houses, to visit the l. l. G c. at Co
lumbus and the A. & M. at Starkville
at the end of the week. This courtesy
is indeed an unusual one, and proves
that Brother Senter is possessed Of
magic powers of persuasion, as we'll
as of wide influence, else the great
railroad would not have placed itself
at his disposal in so generous a fash
ion. Whatever the argument he used,
we rejoice that it prevailed, and con-
gratulate him and the State of Missis-
sippi upon the result. We believe
that the one and only thing needfnl
is that each and every member of the
Legislature go and see for himself the
grand work Of our great industrial
college Then there will be no mans
voice raised against all needed sup
port of the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College and the Industrial Insti-
tute and College.

A most unusual appeal has beer
made by some ladies of Utica, Miss.
for aid in refitting and repairing theil
church building. Their statement
which follows, has the merit of being
so far out of the common run of such
communications that it ought certainly
to command the attention of and draw
the dollars from every Yankee sol
dier" who left his autograph on those
fair walls. Autographs come high
these times, and these scribes OF
Grants army should pay we'll for their
names:
"It was in February, 1864, that Gen.
Grant with his hosts of soldiers
marched through our land from Grand
Gulf to Vicksburg and matted for few
days in our little Town, taking for
headquarters our magnificent church
house, which still stands on an emf
nence, giving it commanding view
of the country for some distance in
every direction. The Federal soldiers
camped. everywhere; the churchyard
was full and the benches of the church
>were taken out and made into horse
troughs and other things. The win
dows were shot to pieces by the Fed
erals shooting at skirmishers. In this
way the church was torn to pieces in
side. But this is not all. The soldiers
wrote their names all over the walls,
which were so pure and white. We
hope that they will now aid us in
painting and in other ways refitting
our house of worship and get others Of
their comrades to do the same. The
church house is perhaps the oldest
Christian church in Mississippi"
Prof. G. F. Boyd has been gathering
statistics upon the school library move
ment in the State, and from answers
received from seventy-three county SUI
perintendents, school principals, presi-
dents, etc., he publishes the following
results;
Number of libraries in rural schools,
10; number of libraries in separate
school districts, IA; total volumes in
rural schools, 1000; number of vol
umes in separate school districts,
1887; total volumes read in rural
schools last year, no report; total vol
umes read in separate school districts,
1875 reported; annual allowance for
libraries in counties, nothing; allow
ance for libraries in separate school
districts, nothing.
The smallest library reporting
claims II volumes, while the largest,
Greenville public school, claims 1900
volumes. The University of Missisip-
pi has $4,000 volumes on its shelves
and has $500 annual appropriation.
The A. & M. College has S,775 volumes
in its library.
Another of "our boys" has been
complimented recently, this time in
the Philadelphia College Of Pharmacy.
Mr. James S. Billups of Columbus has
been chosen by the committee on the
revision Of the United States Phar-
to make some original in
of the root of the cotton
plant, the results Of which are to be
Incorporated in the next issue of this
standard work. We hope Mr.. Billups
will contiaue to gather laurels in the
profession he has chosen, and in
which there is so Wide field for
original research,

Complaints as to the unequal prices
paid for cotton seed by the different
mills are very general throughout the
State. 1t is stated by those who know
that some mills pay $14 per ton, while
others pay as much as 500 High
prices prevail in North Mississippi,
while none of the mills in South Mis-
sissippi will pay more than SIS per
ton. Such inequality in the price Of
any product is remarkable as well as
unusual

Cotton picking is now a thing of the
past in the great cotton State of Mis-
sissippi. The fine weather of last week
enabled belated pickers to put IN a
good deal of time and thus iiEish

State will be little in excess of 1,300,.

of Importance in the State, one of spe-

''It has been some two years since the city dispensary first called my attention to this valuable medi cine and have repeatedly used it and it has always been benefi- cial.

They Cashed the Draft.

A story of old-tim banking days, forty years ago, was told by a banker in attendance at the Richmond (Va.) convention last year as a personal experience. It is repeated here by C.C. Hay, representative of the American Bankers Magazine, who heard it related in the southern city.
 A New Jersey merchant who was going to San Francisco in the days immediately following the construction of the Northern Pacific route to the coast, was desirous of taking with him 5000 as expenses. As the times were lawless in the west he was fear ful of carrying that large amount of money on his person, and he went to his home bank for draft.
 Now it happened that the bank, which was a small one, did not have a correspondent in San Francisco, while to purchase draft from one of the big New York banks would eat up the profits of the transaction. There was too great risk and expense in attempting to ship the money to the San Francisco bank and large possibility of the merchant reaching the Golden Gate city ahead of the money. The bank CT was desirous, however, of accommodating the merchant and making the profit on the draft,
The Arizona sentinel., 1902-04-23

which in those days was consid- erably in excess ofS10O; he final ly hit upon an expedient.
 "When are you going to start?' he asked the merchant.
 "Tomorrow," was the answer.
 "All right, said the banker; ''now, just before you are ready to start, want you to call into the bank to see me.
 Then he made out a 5000 draft on San Francisco bank, pay able to the merchant, and hand ed it over.
 The next day, before starting the merchant came into the bank and was handed a sealed envel- ope, which he was requested to deliver to the San Francisco banker.
 eff you will kindly deliver this letter for me" said the banker, "I will be much obliged. It is of but little consequence, and 1 would not ask the favor except that you can deliver it at the time you call for your money at the bank, and it will occasion you but little trouble" :"
 The merchant expressed pleas ure at being able to oblige the banker, and left.
 On arriving in San Francisco he went to the bank on which his draft was drawn and present. ed it.
 "We cannot cash this," said the cashier. "I do not know this banker. His bank has no 
 funds here.'
 Well, I'll be darned!" said the merchant. "And that draft cost me S100."
 Suddenly he thought of the letter he had been asked to de liver and, explaining about it, returned to his hotel to get 1t from his satchel.
 Delivering the letter, the cashier of the San Francisco in stitution opened it, dublously, to find it contained simply letter of explanation and a 5000 bill.
 ''I fnd," said the cashier, as he handed the merchant the bill and took the draft in exchange, :'that we can cash that draft after all. Twenty-Five dollars, please; that is our regular charge for cashing a draft of this size.
 "WeIl, I'll be darned!" said the merchant.
 And his only satisfaction was the thought that if he had lost it the eastern banker would have been responsible for the amount of the draft. Milwaukee Free Press.
