organizing any such clubs. The re-

Wants a Pardon.

The governor has been petitioned
to grant a pardon to J. F. Campbell,
a white convict from Carroll county,
who was sent up two years ago to
serve a life term in the ~penitentiary

the chief witness for the State at
the trial of Campbell was a nine
year-old boy, who told a very con-
ficting story of the tragedy.

Mississippi State News
Damage to Crops.

There is no question of doubt that
the Mississippi cotton crop has suf-
fered heavy damage since the latter
part of August and much specula-
ton is being INDUCED in as to the
percentage of shortage that will be
shown when the crop is harvested.
The damage to the crop is of
course in spots, but these spots cover
wide areas. For instance, in Clai-
borne county the reports state that
che crop is almost a total failure and
similar reports come from portions
of Holmes and several points in the
delta, especially Bolivar, Washing
ton, Sun1ower and Tallahatchie
counties.
The farmers in Leake county are
firmly convinced that the insect
which has wrought such havoc in
that section is the much dreaded
Mexican boil weevil, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they have received
no confirmation to this effect from
the State entomologist. The insect,
regardless of its species, has almost
totally destroyed the crop.
Three or four weeks ago it was
believed that Mississippi would raise
an average crop, but now this view
is not entertained in any quarter
and many close observers of crop
conditions believe that the State will
be fortunate if the total yield
reaches 1000, 900 bales.

Gen. Kuropatkin, who, when the
war between Russia and Japan began,
informed us that be would drive the |
Japanese into the sea and dictate terms |
in Tokyo, has not yet fulfilled his pur

the terms of his flight. But few
days ago, after long and unDroken
march with his rear toward Tokyo,
and the japanese army, which went
out where he could drive it into the
sea, he suddenly faced about, and as
he planted his grim war vlsage in the
face of the enemy. sight they had not
for months beheld, the world stood
aghast. Selling this, his first opportu-
nifty to about face, and remain in one
position long enough to read as bis own
production an order written for him
at the Imperial Palace at Selo, he is
said to have waved his sword in mid
air, and with the first sentence which
was my beloved army, the time has
now come for us to compel the japanese

was wonderful. All Russia was ablaze

every nook and corner of the Empire,
