LEvEE CONVENTION OCT. 27.
The Meeting Will be one Of Great In.
terest and Importance.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 16.-On
October 81 will be held in New
Orleans the convention of the
Interstate Mississippi River I'M
proVement and Levee Association,
and at the sessions to be held then
many prominent men will advocate
Cove, nment Control of the Mis-
sissippi levees in order that the
vast tracts some 20, 900, 900 acres
of now useless swamp lands in the
states of Mississippi, Louisiana
and Arkansas be reclaimed
and brought into cultivation. 1t
will be argued that State and pri-
vate control of the levees will
never result in the reclamation of
this vast and rich territory for. the
reason that the necessary funds
are not and cannot be available for
many years to come; that within
a decade or so the world will re-
quire twice as much cotton as it
does today; that The cotton fields
of the South are now producing
practically all the cotton that can
be made to grow; That this now
useless territory, which is about
three times as large as Holland
and as rich as the valley of the
Nile, is Americas only hope to
continue supplying the world with
all the cotton it requires; that
the question of Government con-
troll is purely a national one be-
cause every State in the Union
will be benefited either in the
sale of the new crop or the sale of
supplies and manufacturing ar
ticles to the new population; that
the State revenue now going into
levees should be turned into edu-
cational channels whele it is badly
needed.
1t will be shown that wherever
the Government has taken charge
of the Mississippi levees absolute
success has followed. Govern
ment levees do not break. The
State levee boards will not be
criticised for the reason that, con-
sidering the difficulties they en-
counter their work has been all
that any reasonable mind could
expect.
Delegates to the convention are
expected from at least thirty
States and territories. The rail
roads have granted one fare rates
for the round trip. Special invi-
tations have beer. sent to many
prominent men, and many of
these, warm advocates of plans
and purposes of the Levee Asso-
citation, have advised the commit
tee that they will attend. Elabor-
| ate plans for the entertainment of
| all delegates are now being per-
fected. These plans OF entertain
Iment will include trips to several
of the large sugar and cotton plan
ltations, inspection of levees, etc.

looked with marked disfavor upon the
attentions of Mr.. Hailfellow to Miss
Fairlady. Sad to relate, that led these
two young souls, who were rather fond
of communion with each other, free
from foreign Intervention, to seek the
protection, now and then, of subter-
fuge-not to say deceit.
One particularly bright and beauti-
full Sunday Hailfellow called at the
Overnice residence just the regulation
time before church. He and Miss Fair
lady started away, as if of course they
were going to the most approved place
of worship in the city. But they were
not, unless worshiping nature in her
most attractive temple is the approved
worship.
They went off for a long, delightful
stroll into the suburbs. And they
artfully returned. just about the time
they would naturally be expected back
from church.
Probably no suspicion would have
rested upon them had not the harum-
scarum Hailfellow remained at the
house SO long that Mrs. Overnice was

ed to do. Something in his manner ex-
cited the DANES suspicion, and at the
table she commenced to examine the

it should be known, Mrs. Overnice had
daughter whom she had taken infinite
pains to train up in the way that she
should go, and she had no objections
to her taking the matrimonial route,
under favorable auspices, and was not
at all sure but that Hailfellow was
himself a favorable auspice.
So it became all too apparent for the

The great telescope, the white dome
