Congressman Bowers Active.

| In a personal mention appearing in
TheEcho last week Of Congressman Bow
ers' departure for Washington to as
sumo the duties OF his office, comment
was made to the effect that he would
soon be heard from. And he has. He
has hardly taken his seat, scarcely be-
come acquainted with his colleagues,
many OF whom have seen years of SER
vice in the Legislative Halls of the Ma
ton, this young and new member at
onces rises and intr oduces not only one
but two bills--measure calculated to
rebound to the immediate benefit of the
people he represents. The first Of these
is bill providing for the establishment
Of fish hatchery and culture stations
along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, to be
located by the United States Commis-
sag=Ter Of Fish and Fisheries. For this
ar appropriation OF $t5, 900 is askoi, an
amount considered ample for the work.
The second bill directs that a survey be
ma 10 by the Government OF Pearl River,
from and including it's mouth in Ham
cock county to Monticello in Lawrence
county, to ascertain the extent to which
the river shall be further dredged and
improved to meet the constantly increas :
ing demands of commerce. There is n
great deal OF traffic upon this stream,
from its mouth north, and the growth of
business is being retarded by the lack
water. The press Of the section contig-
uous to the river is urging that better
water facilities be given the farm
ers and others along this stream. The
Secretary Of War, under the terms of the
bill, is directed to report plan for the
necessary dredging and improvements,
together with an estimate of the cost
and advisability of doing the work. He
Is also directed to examine the improve
ments along Pearl River and the prov..-
sions OF the rivers and harbors act of
March 80, 1899, reporting its conditions
and advising what additional dredging
may be necessary. He is further direct
cd TO make separate estimate of the
cost of The improvements of the river
from Monticello to Columbia, Miss. AS
Representative and State Senator Mr..
Bowers has been exceedingly active and
successful and already at this early stage
he is showing his ability and activity.
The people of the district are aware how
wisely they have chosen and they will
return him to Congress to continue the
good work. We understand Congress-
man Bowers has many more bills in
store which he will offer as speedily as
consistent and these are to benefit not
only the country and State generally but
every immediate section OF his territory.

TOMB OF ZACHARY TAYLOR

A subscriber to The Echo at Louis
vile sends the following interesting lines
anent the resting place Of the twelfth
President Of the United States:
~. Taylor. Died 1885,"
That is the inscription on the tomb of
Zachary Tailor, twelfth president of the
United States.
A correspondent who recently visited
the tomb Of "old Rough and Ready
says for over half a century It has lacked
the care OF a kindly hand and is fast fall
ing into decay.
Apparently nobody cares
The tomb lies FIVE miles from Louis
vile, and is off the road. Ivy riots over
the weather-beaten blocks of granite.
The fastenings on the door are red with
rust. So far as is known no key has
turned the locks for city years. Visitors
are rare. 1t is doubtful If half dozen
tourists visit the tomb during twelye-
month.
And the neglected spot is the last rest
ing place Of the hero of the Black Hawk
and Florida wars. Here is the dust Of
that great soldier who withe 1000 Ame-
rican riflemen drove an retreat 10000
Mencans under Santa Anna at ,Boena
Vista. Here are the remains Of the
American Cortez and President of the
United States. He who conquered the
swamps and everglades Of Florida and
made Mexico surrender is forgotten by
his countrymen. Not one in ten thous-
and knows the place o.. his sepulchre.
The plaintive words Of Rip Van VIM
kle are appropriate, "How soon we
are forgotten when we're gonel"

Of her death. II was Mrs. Harvey's life
ambition to build locks for the canal and
the Mississippi River, and only about
one year ago she started this enterprise,

vey. She was the originator of the
Merchants and Planters, Ferry Compa-
ny, which crosses the river at the head
of Louisiana Avenue to Harvey's Canal.
Possessed of great business ability, Mrs
Harvey has fought the battles Of life
with wonderful results. At the death OF

family to support, and heavily in debt
but with business sagacity and strict
economy she soon recovered the fortune
and raised the large family, consisting
of four girls and and five boys, Of whom

colony of Louisiana under the French
domination, who granted by the Kine
of France large tracts of land in Jeffer'
son and ST. Charles Parishes. The Des.
fireman Plantation, now owned by Judge
Emile Rast, was formerly the old home
stead, and the Red Church and cemetery
were founded by him. N. N. Desire

Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother

You can almost draw mental picture
Of the boyhood and manhood Of John A.
Mooney, New Yorker. He is dead. In
his will $1,000 to the college Of st. Fran
els Xavier, New York, for medal, to be
awarded yearly to the undergraduate
who will write the best essay on the So
cial Importance of the Fourth Command
nient. The will breathes filial affection.
There is scarcely bequest that is not
made in behalf Of the memory of father
or mother. The man who made that will
must have lived it. You can see him as
boy, who was glad to be tied to his
mothers apron strings. She represent
ed to him all that was good. She shar-
ed his secrets and his sorrows. She
healed his boyhood hurts with a kiss and
his manhood disappointments with keen
sympathy. She gloried in his achieve
ments. Inher eyes there never was such
boy, never such young man. His af-
feotion for her was the tenderest and
holiest thing in life. Some boys never
grow away from their mothers. They
make the best men. And his father was
his chum. II was written between the
lines of that will. There was little
pickering and scolding in their lives.
There was wise counsel and cheerful
obedience. AS they grew up together
they were more like brothers than faith
er and son. They enjoyed the same
sports, the same books. They placed a
queen on a throne and both worshipped
her. The boy believed his father was
the sum and substance Of all that was
good and wise. He would fight for his
father and die for his mother, il needs
be. He didn't have to have secrets.
There was man to confide in "a man

Southern Freight Wrecked and Com

Asheville, N. c., July ia
wreck that was certainly complete
in every sense of the word occurred
yesterday on the Asheville and
Spartanburg division of the South
ern Railway. One of the heaviest
freight engines employed in this
mountain country started down the
mountain a short distance beyond
Saluda, when the crew lost control
of the train and it ran away down
the grade, which has been the scene
of similar disasters. Members of
the crew jumped for their lives
when they realized their peril, and
then the train sped on for several
miles at frightful speed before leav
ing the rails. When the huge en-
CINE did leave the track it was
hurled down the mountain side
with fourteen cars after it. When
the engine and cars settled down
there was nothing to be seen save 6
shapeless mass of timber and irOr
from which arose smoke from thu
engine. TIE traok, however, wa
not ola mayed seriously. In couple
of hours passenger trains were run
ming by the scene Of the wreck.

vices Of 10 negroes for the next 30

the wheat growers in the surround

The bidding started at $3.50 a

BY the terms of the contract the
negroes hired themselves to work at
any labor their purchasers have for
