Mississippi meyer had a more
vigilant guardian of her interests
or more jealous of her name and
prestige, in congress than Senator
Money. On the Sth inst, though
hardly able to leave his bed, he
hurried to the senate chamber to
reply to an attack upon the suff.
rage laws of our state made by
Senator McComas of Maryland
who went over the same old worm
eaten plank that has been so often
traversed by our traducers. This
defense involved no new argu-
ment or presentation of facts, but
it seems that the reiteration OF
calumny demands the constant
vigilence of our defenders, so that
each copy of the Record that
goes forward to disseminate the
vilus shall carry the antidote.
Senator Moneys speech was.calm,
and thoroughly Conservative

Resolutions Of Respect.

At a meeting of the members of Som
mer's First Regiment Band, Mississip-
pi National Guard, resolutions as fol-
lows were drafted upon the death of
our lamented leader, Herman Bernard
Sommer:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Mighty
Ruler of heaven and earth to remove
from us our beloved leader, Herman
Bernard Sommer, and, while we
mourn, we acknowledge BHis wisdom
and our .own helplessness; that His
way is not our way and, that in mercy
He so governs.
The last bugle cali has sounded for
our dear comrade and leader, and he
has responded with the courage and
obedience of a true soldier. While his
feet tread the path that leads besides
pastures ever green and scenes that
knew no change, we look sorrowfully
in vain for his presence here, and real
ize with aching hearts that he has
gone to return no more. No more shall
we hear his merry jest and know his
glad companlonship; no more shall our
notes mingle with his in times OF
pleasure.
RESOLVED, ThBt while we sincerely
mourn onr leaders loss, we know that
he has gone to the reward OF faithful
servant of the Lord. His record is an
example that we may poi Mt to with
pride. He was worthy citizen, no.
BILE brother and wise and ge ltle lead
-er of our band.
RESOLVED. That in his memory we
wear the emblem of our sorrow for
thirty days and that these resolutions
be published in the Greenville papers,
a copy be spread upon our minutes and
copies furnished to his brother and Sis
ters, to whom our sympathy is exten d
ed in our mutual grief.

The mayor had up before him last
Tuesday job lot of yagrants and out
of the number he fined VIII Jones, Pat
Bookings and Randall Gray, So, $40

Hattie Adams was turned loose ION

Ella Drummond and Emma Fred

be given the water cure with little

CHILDREN'S DAY EXERCISES.

Last Sunday was Children's Day at
the Methodist Church and it was a
grand sight to see the little followers
Of the Cross neatly attired performing
their respective exercises and hear
their sweet voices singing praises to
their Father above.
From the beginning to the end the
program was interesting and the noble
christian women who directs the work
deserve much credit for the part'taken
in these exercises.
Every person who attended the
meeting came away singing the praises
and feeling proud OF all children and
instructors. who had hand in making
it the interesting service it proved to

fields of the West. This change,
though, would injure no small cultiva-
tor ready to adapt himself to it. He
might lose should he attempt to COM
pete with hand against the machine.
But if he should recognize and take
advantage of the wider market for
foodstuffs and other products created
by the conversion of of cotton-pickers
into miners, lumbermen, operatives
and mechanics, he would better him
self considerably.
The saw gin created demand for an
extensive cultivation of cotton and an
expansion Of slave-holding. 1t .was
possible, under the old system, for the
large cotton-grower to make enough
from cotton alone to justify depen-
dence upon outside sources for the bulk
of his supplies. though many a we'll
managed plantation was self contained.
The destruction Of the slave-labor sys-
tenn brought about an accession CT
whites to the body Of individual cot
ton growers, forced, however, for the
while to depart from the habit Of living
at home, and often unable to apply
most approved methods to their cotton
culture. The labor difficulties led
them to the invention of devices for
the improvement of mechanical hand
ling of the crop after 1t reached the
gin. eliminating in the round-baling
process. Necessities, too, gave an I'M
petus to the movement for increasing
the amount of cotton raised per acre,
and Jor q return to the raising of home
food crops. The invention Of sue
cessful cotton-plcker will complete the
chain Of machinery giving to the
American cotton grower an advantage
which may never be equalled, permit
ting him to enjoy all the best results of
long experience with the staple, and
yet swelling the ranks..of Southern pro-
ductive labor. 1t is hoped this ma
chine may be a success.

The St. Louis Star will have credit
able write up of Greenville, as its
hustliug representative, J. F. Morrisey
is working hard getting Data and
pictures to feature up the articles. He
has already secured large number
of pictures and his wlite ups are
written in breezy and entertaining
style. He got a picture of our base
ball team after Fridays game; the
boys looking their prettiest while the
camera did the rest. His general
write up of the city is penned in a
lively, entertaining and readable style,
and with the numerous half tones
interspeIsed between the articles will
feature the production in fine style.
He will be in the city few weeks
longer and its a safe bet GreenviIle
will receive good treatment at his
hands. These write ups of towns in
the South, is one of the features of the
St. Louis Sunday Star, and they have
made a popular hit: one good thing
about it is that it does not Cost the
city cent and it is the best kind of
an advertisement,

Planters oil Mill Sold.

The Planters Oil Mill, their ginnery
together with the Glen Allen and
Winterville ginnery was sold Wednes-
day to the Virginia Chemical Company
represented here by Mr.. A. P. Sauer,
of New Orleans, La.
The deal in dollars and cents is one
of the largest that has been consuma-
ted in the city, representing something
over 100000. We learn from re-
liable sources that it is the intention
of the purchasers to en-. arge the three
plants. From their first steps the
retaining of the competent officials
who are in charge of the mill being
among the most capable men in the
delta, their success is assured.

The Commercial convention
which was held in, Vicksburg Tues
day was one of the largest gather
ings held in the state for many
years. The delegates present re-
presented twenty-seven counties
of the state. This should alone
prove that our people have an in
terest in the perfection of our re-
venue laws now so detrimental to
the best interests of the state.
The information obtained, the in
terest manifested, the good done,
will all have a marked influence
over the coming legislators of the
state and will no doubt bear fruits
of victory.

City---Don't Forget the Day and Date and
Let the Eagle Scream

| The committee appointed by the
! Business League to make OBJ 4
program for the celebration of
the glorious ''Fourth Z in this citv
held a meeting last Mondvy night.
Mr.. X. w. Tilford was selected
President and Mr.. BIB. Goldman.
Secretary. 1t was proposed end
adopted by the committee that the
-'seaanssssvssc ~cf,.The celebration
should begin on the night of the
Srd with q grand fireworks dis
play. Another display Of flre-
works has also been suggested
for the night Of the 4th.
For the attraction Of the plant
ers and the citizens Of the cities
on the lines Of our railroads and
river, the committee will invite
Hobson or Schley, together with
all the candidates Of the state who
are ont for Office or expect to be.
Then there will be q balloon as
cension, high diving, pie seatlno

other forms Of amusement.
To interest the colored peonIe
and draw them to the city there
will be prizes awarded for the best
uniformed and drilled organiza-
.tion in the state. Also for the
best colored bands, string and I
brass.
1t was at first thought to give
the visitors a barbecue. but
beeves being scarce and the price
SO high it was feared that enough
could not be secured 50 this part Of
the program was abandoned. But
the committee will make arrange
ments to have eating places on
every street with barrels ot Ice
water, SO none can leave and saw
they had nothing to eat or drink.
On every street in the citysome
form OF amusement wiIltake place.
And it has been suggested that
there be tub and swimming races
in the river.
From the outlook the Alb pro-
misses to be one Of the biggest
days in the history Of Greenl lie.
and to say that there will be Eve
thousand visitors in the city is 70
make q small estimate of TIA
crowd that will come, if the rail-
road and boat lines will run excur-
sions into the city.
Let every business man suh.
scribe literally when called upon
by the committee to the fund II
carry oft the program.
Let the cannons roar and the

Prehistoric Relics Wanted.

Andover, Mass, May %. 1902.
Editor Of the Greenville Times:
Dear Sir-Phillips Academy, Ando-
yer, Mass, has recently established a
Department Of Archaeology. Ny OBJ
ject in writing you Is to encourage the
preservation of stone, boue and clay
prehistoric art forms. In your section
OF the country are frequeDtay -.tssas.1l,
various "Indian relics" These have
direct bearing on the hIstory-or
rather pre-history-of America, and as
such should be preserved in freproof
buildings for the study and edifcation
Of present. Iand future generations. !
am persuaded that there may be per-
sons who have found some remains Of
the ancient Indian tribes, ''Mound
builders" etc., and that, possibly,
they will be willing to send them to
us, to mention the gifts in our report
and to give the donors due credit in
our exhibition cases.
All bhese axes PtpeSs spehr nedus,
clay vessels and strange stones. "
should be carefully preserved some
where, where they may be Of service
to the public and to science. Archaeo-
logy-technically followed-is new
science in the United States and 1t is
more important than the average
reader imagines, for these "stone
relics" have direct bearing on the
antiquity OF man.
I shall be glad to correspond with
persons who have relies in their
possession, Thanking you, ! am,
Yours .ery truly,

matter can be adjusted, as the rapidity
the police could go from one end OF the
city to the other on the cars prevented

Improvement in Plants.

The superiority of our present va
rieties of plants over those grown
even within the memory of those of
us in middle life, is very great in
many instances. The results
achieved with some are indications
of those that are possible with
many, perhaps all. In the case of
staple crops the improvement possi-
BILE, even if it should prove to be but
in small degree, may in the aggre-
gate be of great economic moment.
