Alleged Census Frauds.

Jackson, May 1.-The Federal
grand jury to-day returned an indict-
ment against Hon. D. A. McDou-
gal, prominent attorney of Savan-
nrh, late supervisor of census of the
Eighth district, and John Robinson,
of McNairy county, who was Gen.
sus enumerator. The indictment
charges conspiracy. McDougal was
in this city, and on learning of the
charges went at once to the court
and demanded a trial. He had not
read the Indictment, but said he was
ready to face any charges that might
be preferred. The government
claimed it was not ready for trial,
but Mr.. McDougal insisted that he
be allowed to show his innocence by
speedy trial, which will perhaps be
allowed by special term called at
his solicitation. A number of at
torneys have volunteered Mr.. Nc
Dougal their services.

Confederate Reunion.

1t has been proposed to the writer
that the camp of Confederate Sons
at Bolivar arrange for reunion of
the Old Confederate Soldiers to be
held under the auspices of the sons.
Acting upon this suggestion N. B.
Forrest Comp No. 33e United Sons
Confederate Veterans passed a res
olution at their last regular meet
ing heartily endorsing such move
ment.
Now, the object of this. article is
to obtain something definite as to
the wishes of the old soldiers them
selves. As Adjutant of the Bolivar
Camp Sons of Confederate Vet
Grams, l offer this suggestion and
sincerely hope all the old soldiers
who are interested will act upon it:
lst., that each veteran will write
me letter or postal card stating
what time and place would best suit
them; end, that each and every
old confederate soldier encourage
and urge their sous and grandsons
to join the camp of sons at Bolivar
for in numbers there is strength.
The sons meet tonight, Friday.
There have been three dates sug-
gest ed, July 18th, 18th, and 10th
August, 18th, 18th, and 10th, and
September, 18th, 18th, and 18th,
and hope every old soldier who
wants or expects to attend will write
me their choice of these dates. A
majority will decide.
There are especial reasons why l
think July would be the proper
month. Crops will be finished, the
weather will be warm enough to
sleep under the trees with a blanket
and there will be no cold dew, and
dust is not as apt to be flying SO
much as later. Let me hear from
all the old veterans who want 20
meet and talk over war experiences.

Obituary..

Death again entered the home Of
Mrs. j. w. Powell, and has taken
therefrom another sweet little girl,
Addie May Moody, aged seven
years. On the evening of April 18th,
after brief illness of FIVE days, she
sank into the peaceful slumber of
death.
Little Addie met each and every
one that came around her bed with
an angelic look and sad, sweet smile.
Just before the angel of God came
down to carry her to heaven, she
called mama and sisters to the bed
side and gave them a farewell kiss.
Then she asked to be raised up and,
with a sad, sweet smile on her lips,
said: "Aunt Callie, give me your
hand" Though Aunt Callie can
no longer hold her hand here on
earth, she can only say, .'Grieve
not, mother and sisters, dear; while
she is absent from your fold, we
have one blessed tbought-we can
go to her, but she can never come
back to us. May the Lord help her
loved ones to realize that the dear,
sweet baby is now safe in the arms
of Jesus. May they all live a con
sistent Christian life, so they can
some day meet her at the beautiful
throne of Gcd, where there will be
no more sorrow, weeping, nor fare
well tears shed. But it was so hard
to give up "Sweet Baby" Yet we
feel that our loss is her gain.
This is the fourth time death has
entered this home since 1898.
Little Addie May was born at
Kruger, Miss, and died at the resi-
dence of her grand father, w. r.
Hamlet, at Mt. Comfort, Tenn.
She has joined the happy threng,
There her papa now has gone;
And she waits by the golden shore,
Till God calls her loved ones DER;
Bye-and-bye we all shall meet,
And once again each other greet;
Beloved ones, grieve not in vain,
For we shall see her face again.
HER AUNTIE.
Hickory Valley, Tenn, April 9th, 1902.

IN ordering a primary fol-
State Senator in this County,
there was no disposition OF
intention on the part of the
County Committee to usurp
any authority belonging to
the Senatorial Committee.
In view of the fact that we
have two candidates from
Hardeman, and the voters
desire to express a choice, it
was not only within the pro-
vince of the county commit
tee to provide a method by
which this could be accom-
plished, but it was plain
ly their duty to do so. This
is local self government,
democratic doctrine, is right
and proper, and is not With
out precedent, as the record
will show. The candidate
receiving a majority of the
vote should and will be de-
clared the choice of the party
from this county according
to the resolution adopted.

A RESOLUTION was passed
Tuesday by the County Com
mittee which settles, so far
as the present committee is
concerned, the use of proxies.
Hereafter no proxies will be
allowed. We hope for the
good of the party that future
committees will follow this
precedent. Committeeman
are elected to discharge a
duty, are supposed to be
familiar with and are expect
ed to carry out the wishes of
their constituents. The
authority should not be dele
gated to outsiders. The
position is one of great i'm
portance, because the party's
welfare rests in the Commit
tees hands, hence its member
ship should be composed of
the very best citizens and
most loyal democrats and
they should attend to their
duties in person and not by
proxy.

Replying to your letter of
April 9TH, Commissioner Lederle
directed me to inform you that there
were sixteen samples of the "Sweet-
heart brand baking powder taken
from as many different dealers for
analysis by this Department. Upon
chemical analysis it was found that
the baking powder contained 90 per
cent. of minera' matter insoluble in
acetic acid, consisting of a mixture
of silicates of alumina and magne-
SUM. Microscopic examination
proved this to be pulverized rock
containing large proportion of fine
sharp spicules. About 900 pounds
of this brand of baking powder was
condemned and the greater portion
destroyed by dumping at sea. A
small amount was returned to the
manufacturer at Nashville.
The law of New York state does
not require that the formula and
ingredients of baking powders shall
be stated on the label, but the law
prohibits adulteration.
