Author.
Mr.. Doubleday of the publish
ing house of Doubleday q Page,
has small son whose regard for
Rudyard Kipling, borders on
heroworship. Mr. Kipling, when
in America, is a frequent visitor
at the Doubleday home, and the
small boys admiration quickly
grew to devotion. He watched
with the most frequent interest
every step OF progress in book
OF Mr.. Kipling's as it went through
the publishing house, and he had
a moment Of real ecstasy when he
held in his and the first printed
volume. One day he came to his
father with an eager questioning
race, "Papa,'' he asked, "don't t
you believe Mr.. Klpling is going
to write any more children's stor-
les, something like the "Jungle
Books you knew''
Don't know, my son. answer
ed Mr., Doubleday, 'but wish he

"I've been thinking Of some

I've been writing a letter about il

make great stories out OF Where
the Camel Got his Hump and
about 'Wha; the Elephant Puts in

the father laughing.

should stop over at Memphis, drive
up and down Poplar boulevard

city III the Southland can boast of
more, or more beautiful children
than are seen every afternoon this
summer season on the different
drives III the city, especially Pop
lar boulevard. There are few
equipages that do not contain one
or several of these dainty South
ern children, and nowhere are the
babies and tots, so beautifully or
tastily dressed. Many turn0uts
contain four or five, ranging closely
IN age, and the dainty sheer white
frocks, the daintily dressed feet,
even to the bowl match in the
fluffy hair above the child's face,
and so bewitching is the low neck
and short sleeves, the slender
neck chain and bracelet. And who
can adorn these things like a
Southern child, they are "to the
manner born -
Coming from long residence

number of children in family is

Young rlan Killed.

The body of a young man was
found on the line of the Mobile &
Ohio railroad track, north of the
depot at Verona, on last Saturday
morning in such mangled con.
dition that it was impossible to
identify the remains. 1t is pre-
sumed tnat he had fallen from a
passing train that he was riding
and from all the circumstances this
twas the case. The body was scat
tered for some distance along the
track and nothing could be found
TO indicate who the party was. 1t
was afterward learned. however,
Sthat it was Lee Dunderberg, a
young man from Sulligent, Ala,
who has been III this county for
several months working for differ
ent parties. Some time since he was
arrested by the city authorities
here and carried before Mayor
anderson. He was idling around
town and had an old pistol and
was taken before the mayor for
Investigation. The mayor upon
questioning him had his suspic-
IONS aroused as to the young mans
sanity and did not fine him. Mr..
p. w. Robins took him, agreeing
to give him work if he was capa.
bic of doing ordinary labor. After
trying him several days Mr.. Rob-
!. ius decided that he was not capac.
;aated for work and didsnot' send
him out. The morning before the

MISSISSIPPI NICHE
In Memorial Hall May Forever Remain
Untitled.

UlIllleQ.
AttorneyGeneral Williams has
received a letter from James w.
Oates, of Santa Rosa, CAL, who
Writes to get information as to
rumored movement in Mississippi
among the Confederate veterans to
have the statue of President jeff
erson Davis placed in Memorial
hall at Washington.
The attorney general has never
heard of any such movement nor
do prominent veterans here know
OF such movement. 1t seems to
be a case of going away from home
to hear the news.
Mississippi is entitled to two
inches for statues in Memorial hall
and as yet no suggestion has been
made as to whose statues should
be placed in them. The matter
was discussed a little some years
ago and many names were talked
of. 1t is possible that the name of
Mr.. Davis may have been, and
doubtless was, mentioned in such
discussion, but there has been no
such a thing as movement in the
State to have any statues placed in
Memorial hall. In fact, the idea
seems to have been general that if
any statues of Mississippians were
placed IN these two inches at all
the statue Of Davis should be one
OF them; but it was understood
that such suggestion would cause
howl from the G. A. r. people
and South -haters, and nobody ever
seriously thought of taking the
matter up. Two inches are there
and they will, doubtless, remain
empty for some time. One novel
suggestion made was to offer the
statue of Davis and that if it should
be rejected then the people of Mis-
sissippi should leave the niche for
ever vacant. This, it was thought,
would emphasize to future gener-
ations the place held by President
Davis in the hearts of his own
people, and the empty Davis niche
would all the more conspicuously
recall his memory by the very fact
of its being vacant.
In his letter to the attorney gen.
eral, Mr. Oates. who is an old Con-
federate soldier and a citizen of
Alabama, states that he has been
approached by close friend and
neighbor, member of the Grand
Army, who has no animoslties left
over from the war. This gentle
man said to Mr.. Oates that certain
members Of the Grand Army were
discussing this alleged movement
in Mississippi and were showing
some bitter hostility to the idea.
Mr.. Oates fears that these partl.
sans may make an unseemly row
in the Grand Army convention,
which is to be held at San Francis
co on the 17h Of August. He
therefore writes for the facts In
his letter to the attorney general
Mr.. Oates expresses his own senti-
ments on the subject as follows:
~ told him that it occurred to
me there was nothing in it (the
rumored movement in Mississippi
pi), since, if [ understood Mr.. Da-
Wis, he would prefer that his peo-
pie maintain, as to his memory,
& consistent line with his career
and convictions, and that none
knew this better than the people
where he lived"

VETS WIN
Two Years More Of Sa-
looms In Canton
Township.

A majority of the citizens of Canton
township voted in favor of continuing
the saloons Saturday. The majority
was 105. The only activity at the polls
was shown by the saloonkeepers and
their friends, who had workers and
rigs out getung in the voters who were
in favor of the wet side of the contro-
versy. The "drys" made no special
effort and the result was that many
who signed the petition asking for the
election did not take the trouble to
turn out.
Roth the Canton and North Industry
precincts went wet" At the base
ment of the court house 637 votes were
cast. OF this number 346 were for the
sale and POI against the sale of liquor.
At North Industry the vote was for
LOG, against Sc. This settles the ques-
tion for two years, and gives new
lease of life to the two saloons at
Meyers lake. the one on Smith avenue
and the three at North Industry.

said DIR. Riker He gave instances of
persons who in spite of adverse circum-
stances secured a liberal education and
made successes in the higher arts by
persistent struggle. The man of the
present day is not a perfect Ole. The
best we see in him is wha. is left after
5000 years of wrick, ruin, and sin. The
object is to redeem him and restore
him to a state Of perfection. This
can lie done through proper education
a development that will cultivate every
faculty.
In speaking of Mt. Union college
DR.. Riker said that the school belongGa1
as much or more to Canton than It did
to Alliance. The gifts of liberal Can.
tonians had done much for the endow.
inent of the institution. Canton money
had built the museum and assisted in
paying for the other buildings. Since

stated that the scholarships of Mt

Columbus, July 20. = Former men,
bers of the Eighth Ohio regiment will
be interested in knowing that condi-
tions in Santiago. Cuba, where they
participated in the campaign which re-
suited in the capitulation Of that city
to the American fofces, on July II,
1898, just five years ago last Friday,
have changed vastly for the better
since that time. Hon. Ross Holiday,
formerly representative from Highland
now United States consul at Santiago,
stopped off in this city recently en-
route from the former place home,
where he will remain about six weeks.
He was allowed 60 days leave Of alb
sence, beginning July 1. When the
Eighth was quartered at Santiago the
city was one Of the most undesirable
places on the island. Filth abounded
and there was an utter absence of san
itation.
Mr.. Holiday says that under the
cleaning up methods and health rules
OF General Wood wonders have been
accomplished, making the city one of
the healthiest In Cuba. There has
not been q single case of typhoid
fever, which carried of many Amer
dean soldiers, for two years. The pop
ulation approximates half million,
and includes many Americans who
have gone into business there. A new
railroad has been opened between the
city and Santiago. 1t facilitates the
transmission of mail so that 1t now
only takes four days to receive mail
from Ohio In Santiago whereas 1t for
merly took nine days.

ber and agricultural products being
