Papers for Veterans.

Mrs. Helen d. Bell, of Jackson,
president Of the Mississippi division
of the United Daughters of the Con
at the Beauvoir Soldiers Home. The
suggestion that boxes should be
placed in the hotel Hobbies and rail
way stations of the principal towns
of the State in which the public will
be requested to place old newspapers,
magazines and other periodicals to
be sent to the Confederate veterans
at the Beauvoir Soldiers Home. The
veterans at the home have very little
reading matter, and, in consequence,
their minds are unoccupied save for
for the time they spend fishing. 1t
is believed that if this arrangement
is made the express companies will
carry the bundles of newspapers and
magazines to Beauvoir free of
charge The matter will be discussed
at the convention Of the State chap
ter to be held in Greenwood.

Whitecaps AGAIN. 4

Advices from Hattiesburg state
that a band of whitecappers is de-
moralizing labor conditions at
Mitchell, a sawmill settlement seven
teen miles from that place. The
wiretapper outrages were provoked
by the discharge of six white team
sters at one of the sawmill plants
and the employment of negroes IN
their stead. The manager of the
mill, j. G. Nelson, states that he
was compelled to discharge the
white men on account of their in
competency. "Read This and Rum"
were the placards placed on the ne
gro cabins by the >whitecappers, and
Immediately there was an exodus of
negroes from the community, leav-
ing the sawmill plants badly Grip
pied for want of labor. One negro
who stuck to his post was seriously
wounded by shots fired into his
cabin by unknown parties.

Cotton choppine Weather.

The weekly crop bulletin of the
weather bureau Says: ''The first
two days of the week were quite cool
but thereafter much warmer weather
prevailed and the mean temperature
for the week as a whole was about
normal. Moderate showers occurred
over the northern and western por-
tions Of the State, while in the east
ern and southern counties there was
little or no rainfall. Conditions were
very favorable for farm work which
generally made splendid progress,
but termination and growth have
been retarded considerably as re-
suit of the dry and cool weather
which prevailed up to April 20
Since that time the showery and
warmer weather has had a very ben
eficial influence on all crops, al
though a good rain is now needed
in the eastern and central counties.
Cotton is nearly all planted in the
southern portion of the State, where
much has come up nicely and chop
ping out is now in progress, while in
the central and northern counties
cotton is generally from one-half to
three-fourths planted, and some is
coming up. Replanting has thus far
been. necessary in only few locali-
ties Early corn is slowly recovering
from the injurious effects of cool
weather and is being worked out the
stand of late corn would be consid-
erably improved by more moisture
Oats are doing well some fields are
beginning to head already. Minor
crops and gardens have done fairly
well, except in the extreme southern
counties, where rain is much
needed"
