CREATED SENSATION.
Remarks of Governor Vardaman at
Cotton and Corn Carnival, in
Jackson, Miss.

Governor Vardaman made the
opening speech at the Cotton and
Corn carnival, held in Jackson, Miss,
this week, and after welcoming the
visitors, branched off into politics
and made very sensational utter
ance. In touching on the attitude
that southern representatives should
assume in the fight against the re-
duction of south ern representation,
the governor said:
"And instead of going to the con-
gress of the United States and saying
that there is no distinction made in
Mississippi because q color or pre-
vious condition of seTvitude, tell the
truth and say this: We tried for
many years to live in Mississippi and
share sovereignty and dominion with
the negro and we saw our institu-
tions crumbling, we saw the public
funds squandered, we saw the civili-
zatlon that Our toretathers had
fought away, and the law of self pres
ervation being the first law, we OBJ
served it; we rose in the majesty and
highest type of Anglo-Saxon man
hood and took the reins of govern
ment out of the hands of the carpet
bagger and negro, and SO help us God
from now on, we will never share
any sovereignty or dominion with
him again "
The remarks of the governor have
created a sensation. They are dia-
metrically opposed to those views of
the minority leader, Congressman
John Sharp Williams, of the district.

The Heather Chinee.

Former Senator BILLY" Mason

St. Louis fair. A young woman from
California, in company with some

And she directed her companions

ing Californian. "I'll bet anything
the poor thing is frightened to death
here all alone III go over and speak
a bit of pidgeon English to her"
And the girl from the slope walk
ed over to the small, dainty figure
in the odd dress. and seated herself
beside her. She smiled and nodded.
The Chinese lady smiled and nodded,
too. Then the Californian remark
ed:
You comee alice way from China?
How do likee Mclean klountry?"
The bright eyes Of the Oriental
twinkled.
"Oh." replied she, with the purest
OF English accent. Il like it very
well. indeed. You see I was grad
uated in medicine in America some
years ago.
Then the little lady. with a polite
bow, arose to meet her friends whom
she had been awaiting.
The Californian subsequently
learned that she had been speaking
her pidgeon English to the distin-
guished Dr.. Yamei Kin.

THE BED CAUGHT FIRE.
Narrow Escape Of the County Audi
tor of Chester and His Wife.

Chester, December I4.-County
Auditor I. Med. Hood had an ex
citing experience few mornings
ago. from which he has not yet re-
covered. About 5 o'clock he got up
and made a fire. as is his custom, and
went back to bed to enjoy another
nap. His feet getting too warm
for comfort. he awoke to find the bed
in flames, which had stari at the
foot and were rapidly advshcing to-
ward the head. Seeing his serious
plight. he quicker than a 16-year-old
leaped fro mthe bed and rolled the
whole outfit of covering into the fire
place. and began pouring on water.
Both of his hands were badly burn
ed. He certainly had a narrow es-
cape, for in less than minute he and
Mrs. Hood might have met death by
sufocation without awaking. 1t is
thought that a spark from the fire
place ignited the bed clothing.

COTTON GROWERS.
It Is Claimed That the South is
Facing Monetary Crisis Due to
Recent Depression.

Shreveport, La, December 14.-At
a meeting last night cf the Southern
Cotton Growers Protective associa-
ton, presided over by President
Harvie Jordan, of Georgia, the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
The Southern Cotton Growers
Protective association recognizes
that the south faces a monetary
crisis, due to the recent depression
in the price of her great money staple
crop, cotton"
The resolution speaks of the bear
ish speculative influences and con-
tinues:
eve know that at the present
prices of manufactured cotton goods
and the splendid trade condition
throughout the civilized world, that
the mills can absorb the entire out
put Of the present crop at 10 cents per
pound. paid to the producers. We
therefore earnestly call upon the
holders of spot cotton in the south
to stand firmly together and demand
a minimum price of 10 cents per
pound for the remainder of the cot
ton crop in their possession. We
earnestly invoke the aid Of the bank
ers. merchants and other allied in
terests throughout the south in sue
cessfully resisting the present crisis
which confronts southern agriculture
and commercial industries, and we
wish to emphasize Our high appre-
citation OF the voluntary proposition
of southern bankers to finance the
present situation.
I'VE urge the farmers of the south
to organize as speedily as possible
in order that they may have uni
form system of cooperation and pro-
lection.
I'VE authorize the president Of
this association to confer with the Of
fetal heads of allied organizations
throughout the south for the purpose
of holding a southern interstate con-
vention at the city of New Orleans,
or other conveniently located city in
the cotton belt, on the fourth Tues
day in January, 1905, to consider the
best interests of the producers with
reference to the cotton industry Of
1905.
1--WE urge curtailment in produc-
ton of food supply crops. We con-
graduate the producers OF the south
in the firm and loyal stand they have
taken since December 3 and their
financial ability to hold their cotton
and prevent its conhscation at prices
which are illegitimate and below the
cost of production"
A resolution was also passed COM
merding the correctness OF the re-
ports OF the government statisticlan
at Washington.

London, Nov 3.-Tuesday's attack OF

UNDERSTANDING is COMPLETE
AmicahIe Settlement of North Sea In
cident Assured.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 3.-The Asso-
ciated Press can authoritatively an
nounce that the basis for the British
Russian agreement to submit the
North sea incident to commission
insures an amicable settlement with
out a sequel. The understanding is
complete.
In the heat of the excitement follow
ing the incident many false impress
sions obtained credence abroad. Now
that the smoke has cleared away it is
possible to state that Great Britain
disclaimed any intention of trying TO
detain the Russian squadron, which
could only be interpreted as a hostile
act. 1t was never intimated to Russia
that Vice Admiral ROjestvensky's re-
call would be demanded and Great
Britain never asked Russia to pledge
herself to the punishment of any one.
The British government fully realized
that officers of the Russian squadron
may have acted with excess of zeal
The whole affair was deplOrable mis-
take, but as a result of the inquiry,
which will establish the facts, each
government is expected to take appro.
pirate action without demands from
either side and no pledges have been
requested or given by either country

DESPERATE FIGHTING.
Toxic Reports Operations in Front OF

Toxic, Nov. 3.--The official reports
of the Port Arthur operations since
Aug. form a recital OF almost contln-
uous fighting of desperate nature
The Russians first struggled desper-
ately to block every Japanese advance
and then met the concentrated artil-
lery fire of the Japanese with its kind.
Latterly since the Japanese began run
ming parallels and traverses and ex-
tending mines the Russians have been
constantly making sorties. Tney
rushed into the. Japanese trenches and
engaged in ferocious struggles with the
engineers and pioneers. With desper-
ate courage the Japanese continued to
close In upon the fortress, progressing
stage by stage. The Japanese infantry
never failed to respond when ashel TO
make an assault on almost impossible
positions and when the troops gained
foothold they generally held 1t with
unflinching determination.
