FLOWERS STREWN ON GRAVES.
Confederate Services Held at Camp
Chase, o., for the First Time
BY Southern IN

Columbus, o., June 12.-The graves
of 1880 of confederate dead were
strewn with flowers at Camp Chase,
Thursday, in the presence of repre-
sentative Sons and Daughters of the
~Confederacy and prominent men who
fought on the other side. The serv-
ices were held for the first time at
Camp Chase under the auspices of
Robert +. Lee chapter, Daughters of
the Confederacy.
In answer to an appeal recently is
sued by Gen. Gordon, several boxes
of magnolias, roses and wreaths ar
rived from chapters in the south.
Veterans of both sides during the war
walked side by side down the long
rows of mounds and placed upon each
a token of love in the form of fresh
flowers.

confederate officer; Col. w. III.

Deed for a Child.

A very unusual deed was filed in
Kinds county in the chancery clerks
office last week. The property con-
veyed in the instrument is a child
from a divorced woman to her hus-
band, and the instrument is drawn
up with all the formality of a con-
veyance of realty or chattel proper
ty. The deputy clerk was at a loss
for some time to determine in what
book to record the instrument, but
it was finally decided to place it in
the chattel book. The acknowl-
edgment of the divorced woman was
made before the chancery clerk of
Leflore county, and the Introductory
is as follows:
Having separated and been di-
vorced from my husband, E. N.
Harris, and believing that the best
interests of my minor son by the
said E. M. Harris would be greatly
promoted by committing him dur
ing his minority to the custody, care,
support and maintenance of his
father, who is amply able and desir-
Gus of having the care, custody and
support of said child, and is a suit
able and proper person to raise and
provide for him, | hereby voluntar-
lily give over and surrender said
child, Walter Ellis Harris, to the
custody, care, maintenance and
support of his said father, E. NJ.
Harris, and hereby relinquish unto
him during the minority Of the
child all right or claim to the care,
custody, support and maintenance
of said child, which / now or may
hereafter have. The said E. NJ.
Harris promises that on proper oc-
%casions l may visit said child, but
| do not make this a condition in
this gift"
In the opening clause of the
above the words, 'Eand desiring to
soon marry another man." have
been struck out. The instrument
is headed, "Deed of Gift"

A Handy Question.

Joseph Chamberlain was delivering
a political speech in Birmingham,
England. The hall was so packed
that not another human being could
have crowded in. The enthusiasm
was tremendous; but suddenly q
scowling man arose in the middle Of
the crowd.
"What did Mr.. Gladstone say in
1922" he howled.
"Shame!' "Put him out!" yelled
the crowd.
Three sturdy men hurled the in
terrupter a few yards, and others
helped hustle him to the street.
AS he was picking himself up and
brushing off the dust, he grinned
pleasantly at a man who had fol
lowed him from the hall, and who
asked, "What did Mr.. Gladstone say
in 1922"
81 don't know" he replied, "and !
don't care. I had a terrible tooth
ache, and / couldn't butt my way
through that crowd, and the only
thing to do was to get thrown out
IN. Y. World.

THE RELIANCE AGAIN LEADS.
Cup Defender Demonstrates Her SUI
periOrfty Over the COnstitu-
ton and Columbia.

New York, June 12.-That she has
no equal in American waters in a
smooth sea and a light wind the Re-
lance demonstrated again Thursday
by another victory over both the Con-
stitution and Columbia. After a sharp
brush, which continued for nearly an
hour, the Reliance secured the lead
over the Constitution and held it to
the finish, defeating her by 5 min
utes SO seconds. The Columbia lost
five minutes by a shift of wind which
placed her to leeward of the others.
The Reliance beat her by IL minutes
"a seconds. The race was sailed over

A Remarkable Claim.

The most remarkable claim ever
submitted to a railroad corporation
is on file with one of the claim
agents of the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley road, whose territory overs
the southern part of the State.
According to the statement made
in the claim, an old lady living at
Hamburg, in Franklin county, owns
a flock of geese, which strayed out
on the track recently, and when a
freight train came along they flew
into a large briar patch ear the
track. The old lady claims that the
geese lost twelve pounds of feathers
before they got out of the briar
patch, and she wants recompense
therefor at the rate of so cents per
pound.

PLACED UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Jackson. KY, Under Martial Law With Pro-
vost Marshal Longmire In Charge
Citizens Disarmed.

Jackson, KY, June 12.-There was a
great change here Thursday. Putting
the town under martial law with
Provost Marshal Longmire in charge
of everything has created consterna-
ton in some circles and relief in 9TH
ers. The soldiers who are now on
guard at different places and on
picket duty are able to make arrests
anywhere and take those who are un-
der arrest before the grand jury and
not before the county judge.
1t was openly stated during the day
that B. L. Even would not have dared
heretofore to have told about being
offered $4,000 if he would not testify
against the defendant. 1t is thought
the jurors, as well as the witnesses
will have less fear in the discharge of
their duties. The soldiers are dis
arming all whom they find with con-
cealed weapons, and maintaining such
known here for some time.
Mrs. Mary Johnson, when put on
the stand, said Jet admitted to her
hat he killed J.. B. Marcum. "After
my brother was Dead" she said, 81
started home. Curtis Jett and Tom
White overlook me. / asked Jet if
he killed Jim. He answered, 'Hargis'
money did it, but I fired the shot
white denied that he fired a shot,
But once l saw White lying in wait in
a rock quarry to kill my brother. 1t
was near my brothers house last
June"
Even was recalled and denied that
he had told anyone that he had fired
a pistol after Marcum was shot.
VIII Clements said he was in Hargis'
store and caught a glimpse of the
assassin, whom he did not recognize.
Miss Maggie Combs said she heard
Jett say to Mrs. Johnson: yes, ]
killed Marcum; there can not be a pis-
toll fired in Jackson unless l do it."

Pushing to the Front.

Even the president of the United
States cannot check Southern prog
ress and advancement. Though he
undertook to put a crimp in the on
ward march of Indianola by depriv-
ing her citizens of postal facilities,
he has failed. The Sunfower town
is rapidly pushing to the front in an
industrial way. A cotton compress,
new oil mill and a number Of lesser
enterprises are being built, and the
new railroad-the construction of
which through the county is contem-
plated-will undoubtedly be given a
liberal support.

Claiborne County Leads.

Claiborne is the only county in
the State having a thorough high
school system in its country schools,
and a term covering a period OF
eight and one-half months. The
system is conducted ON a plan in all
respects similar to that of a separate
school district.
81 hope to see the day when every
county in Mississippi will have a
school system equal to that of Clai-
borne county," said Prof. Hardy of
the A. and NJ. College, last week.
'The plan is doing more for the ad-
vancement Of the county than any
single factor in its development,
and its effects are plainly discern
ible among the masses. It means
an educated citizenship of the high
est class, and the expense is small
as compared with the magnificent
results achieved"
