Argument That Fight Should be
Postponed for a Time.
BUT ELEVEN CANDIDATES ARE OUT.
Feeling Around the People, But the
Right Man Not Named.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. pa hue and cry
is being set up in several parts of the
state against the premature opening
of the campaign for governor and
consequent formation of minor po-
iiticaI alliances.
The argument is being stoutly
advanced that the fight ought to be
dropped until next February at least,
and that the candidates who are now
industriously engaged in touring the
state should go home and behave
themselves until 1t is the proper time
to launch the fight.
Whether or not the opposition of
the people to premature politics will
have the desired effect cannot be
toretold at present but 1t is likely to
throw cold water on the aspirations
of some of the candidates of the early
bird and worm variety.
Several feeIers have been thrown
out by prospective candidates during
the past week and the list of candi-
dates, actual and wouldlike-to-be, is
as follows:
Judge F. A. Critz, of Clay.
Prof. A. A. Kincannon, of Lowndes.
State Senator f. F Neel, of
Holmes.
Maj. James K. Vardaman, of Lee
fore.
Lieut.. Gov. J. H. Harrison, of
Lowndes.
Circuit Judge J. H. Neville, of
Harrison.
Gen. Wiley n. Nash, of Oktlbbeha.
Judge Thomas H. Woods, of Lau-
derdale.
Hon. A. @. May, of Simpson.
Circuit Judge w. F. Stevens, of
Carroll.
In some quarters the intimation is
being rather broadly asserted that
the man who will occupy the guber-
Material chair during the next term
has not yet been mentioned in con-
nection with the Office, and this is
mentioned as an indication that a
dark horse is yet to be brought out.

A WOMAN DEPUTY SHERIFF.

One in the United States.
pecial to the Daily Progress.

.pecial to the Daily Progress.
Holly Springs, Sept. 29.-Missis-
sippi claims the honor of having the
only woman deputy sheriff in the
United States.
Miss Jane McWllliams of Holly
Springs is the chief deputy of her
father who holds the office of sheriff
of Marshall county, and she actively
assists in the discharge of the duties
of the office, both in civil and crimi-
nal business. A few days since Miss
McWilliams captured Arthur Gam
mon, a noted diamond thief, or, at
least, she followed his trail and
through her work he was landed in
jail at Memphis
Miss McWilliams is forccful ano
energetic young woman, cool anc
daring, and quick reader of charac
ter. When not in search of crimi
nails or engaged with the civil worI
of the office she spends her leisur
time teaching music and is an &C

The Plan is to Join Issues With the
Local Capitalists
AND ESTABLISH MILLS OVER STATE
Abundant Resources at Hand, and 1t
is Expected to Be a Success.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Sept. pa New York
syndicate of capitalists interested in
the textile industry, will send rep
resentative to Mississippi next month
for the purpose of touring the state
to encourage interest in the estab-
lishment of cotton factories
The plan of the syndicate is to join
issues with local capitalists having
cotton mill enterprises in cOntempla-
ton, and to subscribe from twenty to
fifty per cent of the capital stock of
such companies where assurances
are given that the management VIII
be placed in the hands of experienc-
ed men.
The company has abundant re-
sources to assist in establishing a
dozen or more mills In Mississippi,
and it is strongly endorsed by Prof.
Arthur Whittam, director of the
textile school at the Mississippi
Agricultural & Mechanical College.
An offer has already been made to
contribute to the capital stock of the
proposed cotton mill at Macon, and q
similar proposition will be submitted
to the citizens of Senatobia and
Glostcr.
The general plan is to establish
small mills having from 5000 to 10,-
600 spindles, such concerns giving
employment to from five hundred to
one thousand people.
Prof. Whittam is also interesting
capital from othes sources in cotton
mill building in Mississippi, and he
has set about the work of encourag-
the establishment of factories in
active earnest. The textile school
will graduate men capable of taking
. hold and managing the mills and he
expects to secure employment for all
of them upon completion of the
course of study.

Too Heavy and Clumsy and Hard
to Pull on Wet Ground.
MINUTE DESCRIPTION OF MACHINE.
Drawn by Two Horses and Runs
Like Moving Machine.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special TO the Daily Progress.
Greenville, Sept. 29.-Accordlng to
reports from prominent Mississip-
plans who journeyed to Washington
county to witness the work of the
mush-heralded cotton picking ma
chimes, the device is not wholly sat
isfactory, nor is it likely to solve the
labor problem of the south or throw
thousands of negroes out of employ
ment.
The chief objection urged against
the cotton picking machine is that it
is too heavy to work in fields during
wet weather, especially if the ground
is inclined to be boggy, and in pick
ing cotton 1t is imperative that ad-
vantage be taken of clear skies, re-
gardless of the state of the ground.
The machine will not go into the
field until the latter part of the pres
ent week. A description of the de-
vice has never been secured, but is
now given out for publication for the
first time. Each machine is drawn
by two horses and runs about as
light as moving machine. 1t has
a drum carrying four perpendicular
spindles which revolve vertically
with much rapidity. The spindles
are hollow and on the interior of
each are round steel rods about ten
inches long covered with teeth, these
teeth pull the staple from the boil,
while brush takes it off the rod and
carries it to fiue where it is emp
tied into sacks holding one hundred
pounds each. The operator stands
on a platform, ties the sack and
throws it to the ground where it is
picked up by wagons and carried to
the gin. The machines are not Of
fered for sale, but make contract to
pick cotton at thirty cents per hum
dred, which is considerably cheaper
than the price paid for negro labor.

SOLD SEED TOO EARLY
And Scarcity of Seed for Planting
Purposes Anticipated.


Special 20 the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. 29.-Closer observ-
ance of the tacIt agreement among
the mills has caused drop in the
price of cotton seed in all parts of
Mississippi, and the hope of the mar
ket going to $50 per ton seems very
remote.
The price of seed now varies from
$l4 to $l7, according to locality and
demand, and many farmers are
greatly regretting that they did not
make contracts for sale of their seed
still IN the field when the price went
to the SIS mark.
In some counties the farmers have
been selling off all their seed and
when the spring season arrives they
will have no seed for planting pur-
poses, being compelled to buy from
the reserve supplies of the mills al
fancy prices. This is especially true
of the small white farmer and negro
lcroppers.

AN INCIDENT OF
 PRINCE HENRY'S VISIT.

One of the very pretty incidents Of Prince Henrys visit took place in New York last Saturday. The Prince had heard that Mir Fritz Cunliffe Owen, an old friend, and a godson of his father, the late Emperor Frederick, and grand son of the Countess von Bernsdorff, who was attached to the royal household for years, was living in New York. He sent imm ediately for him at his club, the Calumet, and the two old friends had an hours chat at the Waldorf-Astoria, making the Prince little late for the luncheon at Mrs. Ogden Mills's. MT. Fritz Cunliffe Owen is the son of the late Sir Philip Cunliffe Owen, who was for so many years the president of the South
 Kensington Museum in London. MT. lCunliffe Owen and his sister were fre- quent visitors to Berlin, and were play
 mates of the imperial children.

SUMNER ACQUITTED ON
 CHARGE OF LARCENY
Alleged to Have Robbed Drunken Man at Bessemer-Pal of George
 Bullard.

In the Criminal Court yesterday A. J Sumner was acquitted of the charge of grand larceny. Sumner is pal of George Bulard, one of the men who es. capped from the Jefferson county jail January 20 with Frank Duncan, and they were jointly indicted on charge of rob- ping man named Newell in Bessemer last September. Newell was afterwards found dead. but there was no evidence to connect Sumner with the crime.
 F. Costillo. who keeps a saloon in Bes- semer, testified that he saw Bullard take the money out of Newell's pocket, who was drunk. and hand s2O to Sumner.
 The body of Newell, who was robbed and afterwards killed. was found placed across pair of bumpers on a freight train and thus carried out of Bessemer for about three miles, when it fell off and the cars passed over it. The fact which showed that death was due to a crime and not an accident, as the mur- derers intended it to appear was the finding of a sleeve in the railroad wards which had been torn from his shirt.
 Sumner is the only one connected with the Miller-Duncan gang who has escaped conviction. He was defended by R. L.. Leatherwood.

With few exceptions the audience failed to applaud There is but one solution to the question-What was the matter with them? They had their breath taken away and did not realize what was going on until it was over. Men and women were heard to say after the performance that they had just caught their breath and their hearts were only then returning to the place where they belonged.
 The act deserves all that could be said about 1t It stands alone among the dan gerous feats. How these riders remain on the little laths which compose tfie track and go at the rate they do with out being killed Is a mystery. Last night one of them came near going over the rail and gasps could be heard from the audience.

Brufrey, who was a few years ago the best-known authority in sporting circles in the South. He is again doing local work on the Constitution and will handle baseball during the summer.
 MT. Bruffey is widely known through out this State as much on account of his work at the time of the great Hawes case as from any other cause. It is true, many Alabamians used to read all his baseball and fighting stories, but he played such conspicuous part in Bir- mingham life at the time of the Hawes affair that he is best known through It.

WoMAaNNc aNciRrv

One of the London papers publishes rather an amusing story in connection with the coronation. according to the New York Herald's European correspondent
 It says 1t is probable that in the pro- cession ir the Abbey peeresses of noble birth may be paired off with peeresses who had stepped from music halls or the gaiety into the charmed circle of the mo- bility.
 As instances, it says, Lady Clancarty, once Belle Bilton." will walk with Lady Limerick or Lady Fowls; that the Coun- tess of Orkney, Connie Gilchrist' will find herself next to the Dowager Ladies Seafield and the Marchioness of Head fort. "Rise Boote." will get right there, " as she used to sing at the Gaiety, next to the Marchioness of Sligo.
 It is disappointing, however, in view of the possibilities unfolded in this tale, to find that no arrangements have been made so far for such a procession as the historical march from Westminster Hall to the Abbey does not figure in the Earl MarshaTs programme.
 According to present indications peers and peeresses will go to the Abbey early, direct from their homes, and take the seats reserved for them, and there await the arrival of the King and Queen
 The same paper is authority for the statement that certain peeress who has never been recognized at court has re- gently been approached by daughter of an American millionaire, who offered 8 large sum of money to be her proxy al the coronation.
 The American girl had looked up thu records and found that substitutes o deputies had been permitted at formei coronations.
 The peeress, though poor, declined thu offer and the American girl went back t' her hotel sadly disappointed.
 At this coronation, however, there vii be no substitutes permitted, and it il also understood that every one entering the abbey that day, apart from royalties will have to show the invitation whicr will be issued from the earl marshals Of flee after the King has approved the lis of names.
 It is said that owing to this regulation certain persons who by marriage woulS have reason to believe that they are cer tain to be present az the ceremony vii not be in evidence at the abbey on tht day of the coronation.

ENTITLED TO LOWER RATES.
Appeal From Cotton Men Is Referred
 to Court of Appeals.

Austin. Tex, March 10-The Su preme Court has referred to the Third District Court of Civil Appeals for hearing the case of Weld & Neville vs tue State Railroad Commission, which the Court of Appeals had previously dismissed The Dlstrict Court decided that the plaintiffs were entitled to lower rates on shipments of cotton in round bales than the commission had put into effect, the commission rate being the same fer round and square bales.
 The District Court would not under take to say how the regular price should be obtained, the commission being the only rate-making power rec ognized by the statutes. The Court of Civil Appeals must determine this question under the ruling of the Su- preme Court. The case is a very im- portant one.

Let Us Take Thought for Trees.

From the Westfield Times.
 Unfortunately. the natural enemies of bugs and insects, the birds, are not nu- merous enough to be of great assistance in the extermination process. Then, again there Is much that is reasonable In the claim that the trees along our residential streets are not properly nourished. Ed ward Moseley of Union street who is greatly interested in this subject, says that the same principle of a poorly fed man may be applied to a tree, and other forms of vegetation. Man without a suff- cient quantity of nutritious food loses strength and the consequent power to re- cuperate from disease. Thus 1t Is with the tree. Take away the water as our sewerage system has done and the trees do not assume the healthy, vigorous ap- pearanee of their more favored kind in other localities where the soil Is richer and morc moist.
 Mr Noscley would have the citizens realze that much good might be accom- plisncd by individual work. Let every man. woIlau and child see what can be done l., destroying the insects on the treor . iort bis own particular home. Let the afhr rg slso in our schools, impress upcn ths "''dren the necessity of helping the 'cos iu the battle against their ene- mi, s. Pace 'ch foam and fertilizer about the b's, "f the trees, flor this is necessary even though it may be decided that spray ing of the l'avcs will, in great measure save ht foliage. Spraying has proved ef- fectiVe in other places, but, as MT. Nose ley says let us not be satisfied with that alone Let us give the tree the nourish- ment that its roots are seeking.
 In a recent issue of the Sunday Repub- lcan, therc is a resume of the recent re- port of Samuel Parsons, Jr.. superinten- dent of parks in New York City, upon the neglect of the trees on the famous Boston Common Tn conclusion. MT. Parsons says Well cared for. an old tree will generally display astonishing vitality and vigor Of foliage to the latest days of its life, and 1t is sometimes really aston ishing to how an old tree may be revived by the application of rich soil to it's roots and years of greenness and beauty may be added to its life"
