Mississippi State News
Weather and Crop Report.

The bureau of agriculture, in its
report of weather and crop condi-
tions for the Mississippi section, is
sued last week, has the following to
say:
The mean temperature for the week
was from two to three degrees below
normal, cloudy weather with moderate
to heavy showers was general during
the first five days of the week, while
the last two were fair with consider
able sunshine. Cotton on lowlands
has been considerably damaged as a
result Of continued showery weather.
The excessive moisture and rank
growth of both cotton and grass have
caused lower bolls to begin to rot;
complaints of rust and shedding are
serious in many localities, especially
owe the central, western and south
ern portions of the State. There has
been some injury from boil worms and
blight. On uplands the crop con
tinues in quite good condition al
though there is some complaint of
oHeuuihS VI Sduuy sui, plants oiC uH-
usually large, but only fairly well
fruited; bolls are opening very slowly.
The week was unfavorable for saving
hay and fodder; a few correspondents
state that early corn is beginning to
rot in places. Late corn on lowlands
is not SO promising owing to pro-
longed unfavorable conditions. Minor
crops are generally doing finely al
though too much rain has caused
signs of deterioration in cane and pea
crops in the extreme southwestern
counties. The peach crop in the north
ern portion of the State has been ma
terially damaged by rotting. Pastures
and meadows continue in fine condi-
ton.

fhe Whole Push Are Preachers.

There is a family in Amitc county
that surpasses all others in this State
for its many ministerial connections.
Mr.. James E. Lea, an old farmer liv-
ing near McComb City, had three
daughters, all of them marrying
Baptist ministers. The eldest dangh-
ter is the wife Of DR.. Charles Fl. OF
ken, present superintendent Of edu-
cation of Amite county, and their
youngest daughter married Rev. B.
F. Lewis, who was then pastor of
the Methodist church at Summit.
The father of Rev. B. F. Lewis is
also a Methodist minister, and he
has a brother and five Or six sons
following the same profession. The
uncle of Rev. B. F. Lewis father is
also a preacher, and he has three
sons preachers, and a daughter who
married a Methodist minister. No
similar family history has ever been
known in Mississippi.

In Spite of Republican Strenuosity.

The Bank of Indianola has fur
nished another evidence of its Won
derful growth and prosperity by in
creasing its capital stock from $780,
900 to $250,000. The bank has also
amended its charter so as to give it
the powers and privileges of a bank
ing and trust company. Though one
of the new banks of the State, the
Bank of Indianola is now one of the
most substantial financial institu-
tions in Mississippi.

Annex at Beauvoir.

The Mississippi Confederate Vet
Grams have decided to build a large
annex to the soldiers home at Beau
voir for the accommodation of wild
ows and mothers of the old soldiers.
This movement has met with much
favor throughout the State and do
nations will be asked for within the
next few weeks so that the work can
be commenced on the addition as
soon as possible.

Whitecaps of Pike.

The whitecaps in Pike county are
still going on with their ~lawlessness
despite the many efforts of the gov
ernor and other authorities to ex-
terminate them. A few nights ago
a band of whitecaps visited the little
town of Sartinville and riddled the
houses of several negroes with buck
shot and warned the occupants to
leave. Many negroes have already
left that section of the State and if
these outrages are not stopped soon,
all of them will be compelled to go.
Much trouble is due to the fact that
some of the negroes are prospecting
and acting like they w the whole
country.

Damage Suits at Oxford.

Three damage suits, amounting to
nearly $4,000, have been filed
against the town Of Oxford by prom
inent citizens, who make the same
complaint. In each declaration it
is held that the city was repeatedly
asked to remove certain disagreeable
and unhealthy odorous nuisances,
but that the city council paid no
attention to the petitions, and the
complainants were forced to go into
court to seek redress.
