Overwhelmed With Work.

Secretary of State Power is over
whelmed with work just now. In
addition to the work that ordinarily
falls on the Office he has all the ex-
ira work of the legislature, which
is considerable. He is working hard
now trying to get together the laws
passed by the recent legislature for
forwarding to the printers, as the
law requires that the laws must be
out in three months after the legis-
lature adjourns. The first batch of
laws will go to the printer at once,
and from 10Y on they will follow in
rapid succession until all Of them
have been sent.

Young Cotton Killed.

Reports from several sections of
Mississippi, especially the northern
counties, are to the effect that a con-
siderable amount of young cotton
was killed by the frost last week,
and a large amount of replanting
will be necessary. To the southwark
of Jackson the damage on account
of the cold snap was not of much
consequence, but some of the north
ern communities suffered heavily,
according to the reports received. 1t
is usually the case, however, that
crop damage from adverse weather
is never so bad as painted, and that
with the recurrence of warm wealth
err it is anticipated that many of the
estimates heretofore made will not
have such a gloomy aspect.

The Negro Normal.

Gov. Vardaman has not as yet re-
ceived official notice from the board
of trustees of the closing of the ne
gro normal college at Holly Springs,
the appropriation bill for the sup
port of which was vetoed shortly be-
fore the Legislature adjourned. 1t
is learned from other sources, how
ever, that the institution has closed.
The governor appointed a board of
trustees for the negro normal be-
fore he vetoed the bill, but this
board, like Othello, finds its occu-
patton gone.

Holding Our Own.

Mississippi continues to prosper
industriously, and hardly a day
goes by that some new industry is
not started in some Mississippi
town. It was announced last week
that Columbus had secured a knit
ting factory, and a new foundry.
Jackson capitalists have organized a
pants factory, and a brick and tile
factory has been started at Robin
sonville, in Tunica county. Missis-
sippi, seems to be holding her own

Sprino Chickens Scarce.

Spring chickens r scarcer than
gold dollars in Jackson and equally
as valuable. The retail merchants
of the city are unable to get chick
ems from the country, and all the
fowls on the local market are being
shipped from Missouri, Kentucky
and Tennessee. Spring chickens are
selling from 40 to 60 cents each.

Uniform Textbook Commission. 1t
is understood that the governor is
giving the matter a great deal of
thought just now. This is one of
the most important duties that the
governor will have to perform this

Dynamiting Fish.

Reports come from points along

that unknown parties have been
playing havoc among the fish in

fish have been killed by the thou

Turpentine Output.

Advices from the southern part of
Mississippi state that the turpentine
operators are making extensive prep
arations for the commencement of
the new season. The sap has COM
menced to flow freely from the pine
trees, and the indications are that
the turpentine output will be larger
than for several years. Quite a
number of new distilleries have been
established during the past year.

Didn't Touch Adams.

1t transpires that the recent leg
islature did not disturb the laws
governing the State revenue agent.
The revenue agent made a recon-
incubation in his report that he be
limited to ten years. The bill en-
bodying this recommendation got
through one house, but was not
passed by the other. Mr.. Adams
announced last week that he had al
mtst finished examining the solvent
credits in all the counties of the
State, and that there are only ten
which remain to be examined. 1t is
expected that these ten counties will
be finished up very shortly.

The BeIIed Buzzard Reappears.

The people of Lee county are very
much excited over the temperance
of the belled buzzard, after an alb
sence of about a dozen years. The
bird was seen near Verona one day
last week by a negro farmer named
Henry Robinson, who declares that
he plainly heard the jingling of the
bell around the fowls neck and that
the bird flew very lear to him and
appeared quite tame. About thirty
years ago a farmer named Thomp-
son Meadows, living nea Keown-
vile, in Union county, caught a
buzzard and placed a dinner bell
around its neck. At frequent inter
walls the bird has been een in North
Mississippi, and, on several occa-
sions, superstitious negroes have
been greatly frightened by the
changing of the bell as the buzzard
flew through the air over their heads.

POLITICS
AND FINANCE.
CHEHAulS COUNTY ELECTIONS
FROM FINANCIAL VIEWPOINT.
The Holy Rollers Will Manage Campaign With
an Eye on the Funds Of the County. Active
Work Has Been Already Commenced by
Them. Political Forecast.

That there is something doing among
the republican politicians of Chehalis
county, OF the Ankeny brand. is becom'
ing quite evident to those who give such
matters attention, and the county NOM
mating convention of that party promises
to be even more strenuous than the
former convention that was held in this
city to elect delegates to the state con-
vention.
There will be no sentiment or political
friendships in this convention. 1t will
be a cold FLOODED matter Of dollars and
cents. The fact that Chehalis county
has about $4,000 OF public money on
deposit in the banks the year round,
which is usually placed with one or two
favorite banks without interest, will
afford the bone of contention. and can
didates for the various offices will be
slaughtered right and lett in the struggle
of the banks to name their favorites for
the office OF county treasurer.
For several years past one OF the
Montesano banks has had almost a
monopoly OF the custody OF the county's
money, which loaned out at ten per
cent interest means profit OF $1,000
year, and The other bank in that city
proposes to take hand in the matter,
it's manager having joined the republican
party this year, probably for that pur-
pose. At any rate, according to our
Montesano correspondent, plans have
already been made to secure candidate
for treasurer favorable to this bank.
This bank is said to have secured9the
services of B. F. Huff, tyee of the Holy
Rollers, who aspires to the legislature,
and suitable candidate for treasurer
selected. 1t has been accepted BY q
large majority Of republicans that Frank
Taylor, of Montesano, was the logical
candidate for this oftice-in which he
has been employed as deputy and clerk
for the past twelve years. But, as he is
deemed to favor the present beneficiaries
OF the county funds, a plan has been
formed to lay him on the shelf, and tc
nominate a popular young man from
Hoouiam who will edo business" with
the other banks. In order to accomplish
this, the scheme is to name so many
candidates from Montesano as to elimi
nate Taylor's chances. In pursuance
OF this>plan the Holy Rollers will pre-
sent nearly enough names from Monte
sano to fill the county ticket, ard the
following have already been practically
agreed upon: For superior judge, Masor
Irwin; attorney, ]. A. Hutcheson; au
dtor, w. d. Campbell; surveyor, II. $
Shorey; school superintendent, N. d
McKillip; representative, B. +. Huff
commissioner, w. II. Bush.
Thus it will be readily seen there vii
be no room for Taylor. who will propably
be offered the deputyship. But. Taylor
has legion OF staunch friends who vii
not see him turned down for the financia
accommodation OF coterie OF republi
cans who have yet to cast their nader
vote for that ticket, and who will b,
heard from when the nominations arr
made. Oh yes, theirs will be somethin.
doing at that convention.

Chehalis county, celebrations on elabor.
ate plans being held at Hoquiam. Mont
esano, Elma and Oakville, and numerous
small picnics were enjoyed in the more
remote country districts.
HoQUIAM.
The celebration at Hoquiam drew most
of the inhabitants of Aberdeen to our
sister city, and was huge success from
start to finish, the only shadow to mar
the day being the death OF p. j. Mar.
don, who was killed while jumping
into the Hoquiam river from the bridge,
hei Int of IS feet. The parade was a
most interesting feature, and the exer-
cises and sports were so well arranged
as to keep things moving without per.
hitting dull moment during the day.

team defeated the nine from the torpedo
beat destroyer Perry in the forenoon,

MoNTEsANO.
At Montesano a delightful time was
had by the residents Of the county seat
and surrounding country as we'll as

elaborate program had been arranged,
which was carried out to the letter.
The exercises and parade, and the adj

finest features OF the program. and the
athletic sports afforded lots of amuse-

ELMA.
In the busting little city OF Elma no
efforts had been spared to celebrate the
Fourth in Il manner befitting the occa-
sion and the ambitions of the town.
From the parade in the morning until
the grand ball at night there was some
thing doing. The exercises were held
in beautiful grove adj oining the home
of Senator O'Donnell, and Prof. W. T.
Walton delivered spirited address suit
able to the day. In the afternoon fine
program of sports was pulled off in a
very successful manner, the whole con-
Guiding with grand ball in the opera
house. There were probably l 1000 visit.
ors in the city during the day, and all
appeared to be enjoying themselves to
the limit.
