Touching Reunion Incident.
Texas Father and TupeIo, Miss, Son Meet fol-
First Time in Thirty.Tw0 Years.

New Orleans, May 4.(-Speci
al.)-Another touching incident
OF the recent Confederate reunion
here was revealed yesterday
James Gates of Alvert0n, Tex.
and his son, l. r. Gates, of Tupe.
10, Miss, met for the first time in
thlrty-two years. The elder Gates
enlisted in the Confederate army
IN 1862 at Petersburg, Va, and
at the close of the war he went to
Mississippi, where he married.
One year later, on account of po-
lltlcal trouble with Republican
carpetbag office holders, he left
Mississippi and went west, finally
settling III Texas. His son re.
manned in Mississippi and became
a prosperous citizen of Tupelo.
Father and son lost trace of each
other until they met at the re-
union here.
We congratulate our friend,
Lon, on having met his father af-
ter such a long absence. We ad-
mire the old gehtleman's pluck
and congra tulate Lon upon hav-
ing snch fine material in his make
up. We have always thought
that there was something in him
that would come out some day.
Genuine Confederate grit will
show up in the boys and girls of
the South like the pride IF the
descendants of Bruce and Emmett
who dwell in the highlands of
Scotia and the bogs of auld Erin.
Here's to all the Gates may they
live long and prosper.

Is It The End?
Astronomer Newcomb Says We Will
Be Burned Up Next December.

''Now let me tell you what none
but ourselves must hear, says
Simon Newcomb in the May Nc
Clure's magazine. "You all know
that from the beginning of record
ed history stars supposed to be
new have from time to time blaz-
ed out in the heavens. The scien-
tific men know that these stars
were not really new. They were
simply commonplace stars which
through the action of some cause
that no one has yet brought to
light, suddenly increased their
heat and light thousands of times.
"We have also known that
dark bodies many times larger
than the earth are flying through
space like the stars themselves.
Now, my theory is that if one of
these objects chances to strike q
star, bursts it outer envelope and
sets free the enormous fires pent
up within, which bursts forth in
all their fury.
next December one of the
objects is going to fall in our sun.
Now | do not want to frighten
You unnecessarily, but | think
we NAV as we'll look this matter
i'll the face. If my theory is cor
rect, the light and heat of the sun
will be suddenly increased thou
sands of times. Should this re-
suit follow, can there be any doubt
as to the consequences? The whole
surface of the earth will be ex-
posed to radiation as intense as
that in the focus of the burning
glass, which, you all know
will not only set fire to wood, but
melt iron and crumble stone. The
flood of heat will destroy all the
works of man and living being
that exists upon the earth. The
polar regions alone will be exempt
from the radiation, because the
sun will not be shining on them
at the time of the collision. But
they will be visited with such
flood OF hot air and steam that
their fate can hardly be different
from that of the rest of the world" "
Prof. NewcOmb has not fixed
the day when he will start his big
fire and we hope he will put off
klndling it until after Christmas.
We have a few old friends who
have way of enjoying that day
that we think the Prof. should let
them have one more chance to in
dulge. BE good, professor, and
let the old boys have one more
gee whiz!

ney Of Storey, charging the State
Board Of Assessors with having reduced
the valuation on the v. & T. r. r..

this is an error, as the gentleman will

in fact. it is their duty to bring suit
to recover, as the moment an assess.

SAME OLD
FIGHT
SHEEPREN AND CATTLEMEN
WANT LAWS
John Mack Offers a Law to
Fit the Occasion

Every term Of the LEGISLATURE
brings out the same old fight between
the cattlemen and sheepmen. In the
Assembly q measure has been intro
duced to prevent the pasturing of
sheep within three miles of a ranch
or residence. This is being fought
by the sheepmen, who claim that it
is a measure in favor Of the cattle
men. From the snap vote taken in
the Assembly, it seems that the sheep
men will be downed. In the Senate
there is likely to be a reverse order.
as several members are interested
| in the sheep industry When the bill
comes before that body there will be
! great battle, as about as many cattle
men as sheepmen are represented.
| The cattlemen claim that the sheep
men are intruding on the lands that
should go to the cattle for range, and
the sheepmen assert that the cattle
men want the entire earth to range
on. Just how the fight will come out
is hard to say, but the complexion of
the Senate looks favorable to the
sheep men.
John Mack, Of this city, who has
no use for the sheep on account Of the
destruction that they make to feed
and forest, has a bill in preparation
that he believes would meet the ap
prOval of the cattlemen It is about
, as follows:
! Sec. 1. 1t shall be lawful at al
times to prevent any and all sheer
and herders from grazing, especial,
the herders
Sec. 2. 1t shall be the duty of al
: parties On encountering the sheep o.
the herders to confiscate the sheer
and kill the herders. Reward is ais,
s offered for every seep man who i
l Brought in dead.
Sec. 3. 1t shall be unlawful at al
seasons of the year for sheep to b.
i herded on the public domain, and an
y sheep driven within five miles of
city or village are to be confiscate
y by the public authorities.

through all right, John will pass hi
