Not Ten Per Cent OF the Qualified
Electors Have
FAMILIARTZED THEMSELVES WITH
Purposes of the Three Amendments
And the Vote Will Be Light.
Special to the Daily Progress

Special TO the DAILY frOSfcSs
Jackson, Oct. 1.-THE fear Is
generally felt that the three consti-
tutional amendments to be submit
ted at the November regular election
will be lost on account of the lack of
interest among the people in the
subject matter.
It is doubtful If ten percent of the
qualified electors in Mississippi have
familiarized themselves with the
purposes of the three am endments,
and it is well-nigh assured that less
than fifty per cent of the number of
registered voters will go to the polls
on election day. With this apathy
generally manifested in the state,
slight hope is felt that the amend
ments will receive the required two
thirds majority of those participat-
lug III CuG SI0CbtOn' Inc ANOCA OAOO-
tive judiciary amendments were lost
from this self-same cause, and it
seems well-nigh impossible to get a
constitutional amendment through
in Mississippi, owing solely to the
lack of interest among the voters. 1T
is not difficult matter to induce the
legislature to submit amendments to
an election, but the rub comes in at
tempting to induce the people to
vote for them. The press of the
state has made half-hearted at
tempt to stir up interest among the
people in the three am endments, bu
with little or no success.

Of the Mississippi Division of Sons
of Confederate Veterans.


Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Oct H. ~ Arrangements
have been completed for the annual
reunion of the Mississippi division
United Sons of Confederate Veterans,
which convenes here Tuesday. Maj
General Daniel and staff, and the
various brigadier generals with
their stats and sponsors and maids
of honor are expected to arrive Mon
day afternoon, and hundreds of visi-
tors from all parts of the state will
be in attendance. The advices re-
ceived from the local camps are all to
the effect that large delegations will
be sent, many visitors coming in ad-
dition to the regular delegates.
Much interest is manifested in the
reunion ON account of the fact that
it is in the nature of ia celebration
of the completion of thekwork of
raising a fund Ito fpurchase Beauvoir,
the olds home Iof Jefferson Davis.
The deed of transfer for he.prOperty
has been finally approved by Mrs. Da-
Wis, and will be turned over to the
sons of veterans with appropriate GER
emony during the reunion.

A RECIPE FOR MAKING WHISKEY
Said to Have Been Given by an
Eminent Minister.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily progress.
Jackson, Oct. IL DIR H. +.
Sproles, OF Vicksburg, one of the best
known Baptist divines in the South,
and who was pastor Of the First Bap-
tist church in this city for many
wears, has entered vigorous denial
to the statement made by a mar
named Houston, who formerly lived
here, that DR.. Sproles gives his en-
dorsement of recipe for making
whiskey being sold by Houston.
According to Houston's story, DIR.
Sproles gave his endorsement on the
grounds that, as men who drink
whiskey will have it in spite of all
obstacles, it is better that they
should make it themselves and thus
save money. DIR. Sproles denounces
this as a falsehnod and says that.
while he knew Houston as member
OF the Baptist church OF Jackson, he
was not aware of the fact that Hous-
ton was a doctor of either men oI
LIQUIDS, and that he most assuredly
would not commend homemade
whiskey, or any other sort.
According to information received
Houston makes a speciality of ped
ding his recipes at Baptist caml
meetings and association gatherings
and he is quite industrIonsly en-
gagged in spreading the doctrine tha
every man should be his own distil
lery.

The first thing the board of trade
should do when it becomes thoroughly
organized and in working order is TO
get out a lot of circnlar letters inyi
ting capitalists here to invest in the
many manufacturing industries that
would pay large dividend on the
capital invested. The committee or
the secretary or whoever may have
that particular matter in charge
should keep his eyes and ears open and
whenever it appears to him that there
is the least probability of inducing
capitalist to invest in any particular
enterprise he should fire at him all
the information he can gain on that
particular point. This is the most
important office of the entire board
and should have man at the head
of it who is quick to discover and
quick to act in matters of this kind.
1t would be almost crime If he
should let corporation go to some
other section if it was in his power
to prevent it to establish furniture
and other such factories. A gentle
man told the Progress the other day
that he had to send to another state
to get an odd sized door and several
odd sashes for the fact they could
not be had in this state. Hattiesburg
should not send anywhere for any
thing that is made of wood. We
have the wood and the territory to
purchase the finished material and q
dozen factories in this city for the
manufacture of wooden goods would
be we'll supported. Let the board
of trade suggest this matter and the
Progress will have more suggestions to
make in the future.

MANY MEN FOR CIRCUS.
Some idea of the Size of Forepaugh-
Sells show.

IAN idea of the size of the circus
that will visit Savannah Oct. 25 can
be gained from the fact that over one
hundred men will have been here ar
ranging for the two performances, be-
fore the show arrives next Saturday
morning" said H. A. Daniels, one of
the four advance press agents of the
Forpaugh-S circus, who arrived
from Charleston last night.
THE three cars have already been
along, and completed their work. and
they will total 50 men of
the 100. From now on, contracting and
advance agents will arrive on nearly
every train up to within twenty-four
hours of the arrival of the show. When
the two "24-hour men" leave every
detail will have been arranged.
THE show jumps from Columbia, S.
c., to Charleston, then to Savannah
and Jacksonville. Those are rather
long jumps for circus, but the show
this year is so large that we simply
cannot afford to play the small towns.
The circus will arrive over the At
lantic Coast Line in five sections, and
should arrive here by o'clock on Sat
urday morning. The parade will be
a feature, and will be over mile and
quarter long. 1t should leave the
SNtipitioh SIouiluS ABOUT III o CLOCK.

Gle at both the afternoon and evening
performances. This sensational act has
created more comment than any fea-
ture since the presentation of the
World-famed Jumbo of the old Barnum
show. 1t is absolutely the greatest hair
raiser that has ever been presented
anywhere. at any time. 1t consumes
but six seconds of the entertainment
programme. There are many other
features with the great show, anyone
OF which is worth the price of admis-

WAR STORY OF A WATCH.
Mementos of Bull Run That Never
Reached Their Destination.

In Memories of a Hospital Matron,"
by Emily V. Mason, which appeared
in the October number of the Atlantic
Monthly, is a story of more than usual
interest to Savannahians. 1t is related
that at Camp Winter a fine looking
young Irishman, a member of a Sa-
yannah regiment, was brought to the
hospital, covered with blood and ap-
parently in a dying condition. He had
ruptured a blood vessel.
In his possession were a silver
watch and a 800 Confederate bill,
which. he stated. had been entrusted
to him by a dying Union soldier at
the battle of Bull Run. They were
to be delivered to the mans sister in
New York. The Savannah soldiers
condition was such that he could new
er hope to carry out this charge, and
the meagre information that he had
about the dead mans sister precluded
the idea of anyone else doing 1t, either,
and so he was persuaded to consider
the property as his own and make
such disposition of it as he cared to.
The dying man asked that the watch
be delivered to another Irishman who
had come to Savannah with him from
the Old Country, and that the money
be given to the Savannah orphans,
who had had no milk for two long
years" A lady who left the vicinity
of the hospital a few days afterward
for Savannah was entrusted with the
articles and promised to carry out
the dead soldiers wishes.
Neither the name of the man who
died nor of his friend to whom he sent
the watch is given, possibly because,
unknown to the author, but it is not
improbable that some Savannahians
whose memory extends back to war
times, may know of the incident.
In the same article the writer re-
fers to those noble Israelites of Sa-
vannah and of Carolina, who fought
so bravely and endured pain so pa
tiently and were so gentle and CRATE
full when placed with their own peo-
pie; that generous family of Myers,
whose hearts and purses were open to

CRUELTY AND INFlDELITY.
Grounds Upon Which Mary Farrell
Asks for a Divorce.


Mary Farrell filed petitions for total
divorce and for temporary alimony
against her husband. City Policeman
Thomas ]. Farrell. in the Superior
Court yesterday. She alleges cruelty
and infidelity on the part of Farrell
as the grounds OF divorce.
In the petition for divorce it is shown
that the parties were married on Oct.
90 1890, and that there are five chill
dren. The wife charges that her hus-
band has frequently treated her with
inhuman cruelty, cursing, abusing and
otherwise misusing her when he would.
She declares that he has on several
occasions pointed his pistol at her and
threatened to kill her.
The petition further alleges that he
is the friend, companion and constant
associate of Rosa M0bley, a woman
of i'll repute. with whom he spends the
evening and to whom he devotes the
time that should be given his wife and
family. She declares that because of
the i'll treatment to which she was sub
jected she had to leave her husband
and seek the protection of her fathers
roof and is now living in a bona fide
state of separation.
In the petition for temporary ali
mony she declares she is without
means of supporting herself, and is
burdened in addition with the support
of the five children. Judge Barrow
granted an order directing the defend
ant to show cause on Nov. why tenn
porary alimony and counsel fees should
no the allowed. The plaintiff is repre-
sented by w. S. Coburn and w. P.
LaRoche
