zoo county planter and capitalist who
moved 20 Jackson several months
since has been notified of his appoint
ment as postmaster at Silver City, his
old home. The place was formerly
known as Palmetto Home, but a
change has been made in the name by
The postoffice department, and DIR.
Powers is expected to qualify for the
office on the 1st Of January. Although
he will probably accept the place, DR..
Powers is not likely to bother with
the work Of handing out mail to his
old neighbors, but will have a deputy
lock after the Office. Just at present
DR.. Powers is engaged in formulating
plans to build large cotton oil mill
at Silver City, and work on the plant
will be commenced during the early
spring.

ROMANCE TURNS TRAGEDY.
Girl Comes to America to Marry,
Finds Herself Deserted.

New York. "A pretty and well-ed-
heated German girl, Anna Gertrude
Radeke, is under detention at Ellis
Island, and her romance with a young
doctor from East Liverpool, o., ap-
pears to have been shattered.
According to her story, she was to
have married him here Immediately
upon her arrival from Berlin. In that
city the 0hian met Miss Radeke while
be was taking a special course Of
study.
Six months ago, she says, they were
betrothed at her home, and the stu
dent returned to America. Two
months later she received 500 and a
letter instructing her to sail for New
York. She arrived in due season, but
the immigration officials refused TO al
low her to leave the ship until some
one could prove his right to protect
her. AS her name was called out III
the second cabin a woman stepped ur
and cried:
"This marriage can not take place;
the doctor is my nephew, and / have
come inform this woman that she must
go back to Germany.
Miss Radeke was taken to Ellis Is
land, where she wept for hours. An
attorney representing the persons who
had stopped the marriage Wis
tied her later and offered to
supply funds for her return
home, but she spurned his offer and
declared she could earn her own live
ihood if allowed to land.

respective States by appointing a
chairman, who in turn will selecs an
executive committee to assist him.
"Fourth-The County Executive
Committee will enroll the names Of all
the cotton farmers Of their county,
sending the names to the State Exec
utiye Committee, who will in turn re-
port to the National Executive CON-
mittee.
"Fifth-We recommend that each
state raise a sufficient fund among the
cotton farmers, merchants and bank
ers to carry on this work.
Sixth-We recommend that the va
rious State Legislatures and Depart
ment Of Agriculture, through the Bu-
reau Of Plant Industry and the Divis-
ion Of Entomology, cooperate in the
campaign Of education with the State
Executive Committee and County Ex-
ecutive Committee to reach each in
dividual planter as they have done in
Texas, and that a sufficient appropri-
alton be made by Congress TO pro-
vide the necessary literature and in
structions to carry out he cultural
methods.
"Seventh-Until some remedy is
found which will destroy the boil wee
vii and eliminate him from the cotton
fields Of the South, to make a cotton
crop will depend upon the individual
efforts Of each cotton farmer, and
without this organization the Govern
ment cannot aid the farmers as they
should.
GAS 72 per cent Of the cotton farm
ers are tenants, it is absolutely inn
perative that they and their landlords
be organized. As so per cent Of the
cotton farmers are negroes, it is more
important that they be all organized
as the boil weevil will affect the ten
ants and negroes more than the land
lords or those who own their own
farms"
