vince the Lord that he was good.
Pap called to him: Anthony, it
will be alright when day comes.
All, Grant, was all he said, and
would never have much to say
about the affair after wards and
left town the next day."
As collateral infor nation on
the subject we quote from
Southern "reminiscences" an
article by the late Major J. w.
A. Wright, in an old issue of the
New Orleans Times Democrat:
Col. Winston is still at eighty
years, in vigorous health, with
the full use of all his faculties
and bids fair to be with US
decade yet, or longer. Gov.
Winston, of Alabama, was his
first cousin, and among other in
teresting items the Colonel now
gives Of their early life was their
experience on one occasion in
1888. They had been with other
friends to the land office at Col
umbus, Miss, to buy lands.
When returning they camp
ed on the night of November 10,
on the well known Cold Fire
creek, near Pickensville. They
were having a lively game of
cards by their camp fire when
suddenly the sky seemed all
ablaze with falling stars It
was the the shower of stars or
meteors, so celebrated in the
history of astronomy. It is al
most needless to add that as
matters looked a little like the
world was coming to an end
their game was cut short and
not renewed that night
This Col. Winston was q son of
Anthony Winston and had pre-
ceeded his father from the land
sales to their home near Gaines
vile, Ala.
In the mention of Coal Fire
creek Major Wright was evi-
IDENTITY following one of the ira
ditional origins of it's name. In
Smiths History of .Pickens
County, Ala, occurs this state
ment. This Cold Fire is large
and useful creek. having six or
seven mills upon it's banks in
this county. There is a tradi-
ton as to the way that this creek
got it's name. At a very early
period some Tennessee movers
forded it in mid winter on an ex-
ceedingly cold day. They were
cold when they entered the
stream with their teams. colder
when while IN it, but became
warm soon after they got over.
The passage through the cold
water produced a natural re-
action and warmth and heat was
the consequence. They, there
fore, called it Cold Fire, and so
it has been called to this day."
The circumstantial evidence
producing this reaction and
warmth points clearly to arti-
fetal means, probably, the inter-
nal application of some old time

The Lee County court house
was burned at Tupelo last week.
The fire was a total loss only the
four walls of the building being
left standing. The citizens of
Tupelo have long wanted a new
court house and now 1t will prove
a necessity.
Twelve new banks have been
organized and their charters ap-
proved since the first of January.
Another bank is to be organized
at Tupelo with a capital stock of
100000. The majority of the
charters approved by the gov
ernor have been for institutions
of this kind
The first batch of the Govern
or's appointments are expected
to reach the Senate today. Gov
ernor Vardaman has been be-
sieged with Office seekers since
his election and his position has
not been an enviable one.
The Republicans of this State
are making preparations for the
district conventions to be he'd in
March for the purpose of elect.

convention which convenes in
Chicago. On next Friday after
noon at ? o'clock the Republican
Executive Com mittee of the

comp posed of the counties of

borne, Franklin, Jefferson. Lin
coin, Pike and Wilkinson, will
meet in Jackson for the purpose
of calling the district convention
to elect delegates and alternates
to the Chicago convention on the
21st of June. The Eighth dis
trict com mittee meets in Jack
son on the same date, and for
the same purpose.
The appointment of Dr.. ".
/ S. Simms, Superintendent of the
Blind Intitute. is almost an as
sured fact, while it is generally
believed that Prof. w. S. Dob
/ byns will be retained as Super
intendent of the Deaf and Dunn b
Institute. No opposition to the
reappOintment of DR.. j. NJ. Buc-
hanan as Superintendent of the
East Mississippi Insane Hospital
has as yet developed, and no
logical reason is offered why he
should not be reappointed. The
term of DR.. T. J. Mitchell, Su-
perintendent of the Mississippi
Insane Hospital, does not ex-
pire until two years hence.
There will be considerable shak-
ing up in the two levee boards
and in the trusteeships of the
various educational and eleemo-
synary institutions, and it is not
likely that many Of the members
of these boards will be retained.

EDITOR DISPATCH.
Columbus, Miss.
Dear Sir: | herein inclose to
you copy of a letter received
by me few days ago from the
Director of the Geological Sur
yey. I have been endeavoring
since I have been here this SEES
sion to interest that department,
in making a Typographical and
geological survey of the State of
Mississippi, and you willnotefrom
this letter that the Department,
through the Director. proposes
to set apart any sum which may
be appropriated by the State for
the purpose of making such
survey.
In my Judgement the benef-
cial results to be derived from
such a survey would be of great
value to our State and the peo-
pie generally. [ would be glad
to have you publish the letter in
your columns for the informa-
ton of the people and if possible
awaken an interest along that
line so as it may be brought to
the attention of the State Legis-
lature, where [ hope some action
may be taken during the present
session. Thanking you in adj
vance for the courtesy, I am

City.
Sir: Replying to your inquiry
of the 10th, instant, asking the
altitude of this bureau toward
possible cooperation with the
State of Mississippi in making a
typographical and geological
surveys:
Our position in the matter is
well set forth in the accom- pany-
ing extract from the 23nd, an
nual report of this bureau.
w lille we are not in a position to
urge cooperation upon the State
Governments. we are always
prepared to carefully consider
requests for such co operation
as may formally reach US as a
result of legislative enactment,
and to meet the same in so far as
the appropriations made by Con
gress for the maintenance of this
bureau will permit.
Should the State of Mississippi
appropriate the sum of five or
ten thousand dollars per annum
for such cooperation, I have
every reason to believe that we
will be in position to meet the
same by allotting an equal sum
to the same purpose. We would
not care to undertake co-opera-
ton ia topographic mapping for
a sum less than $4,000 as such
work is so expensive that it
would scarcely be economical to
attempt to handle a lesser
amount than $4,000, (the other
half being provided by this bu-
reau. AS to cooperation in geo.
graphic or photographic surveys
they should naturally follow upon
the topographic mapping, as the
latter is essential as a basis for
their careful study.
A smaller amount than S., 900

amount from this bureau in CO.

you any further information in
the matter, providing the above
is not sufficiently full. [ might

A BIENNIAL SCARE.

That biennial scare about the removal
Of the state capital is beginning to stir up
the state in general, but Montpelier which
is ordinarily the most interested, still IN

the legislature meets this fall and the usu-
al bill for the removal Of the capital from
Montpelier to Burlington, or some other
place equally far from the geographical
center Of the state, ia introduced, then
Montpelier will be awakened from its
dream and be stirred TO action. But there
is really little danger. Burlington might

Il is Composed Of Nineteen National
Councils.

ST. Louis, Oct. 27.-The Worlds fair
of Women, held Wednesday in Libra
ry hall, was devoted to an address by
Mrs. May Wright Sewall, Of Indian
apolis, honorary president of the coun-
Gil. In defining its aims and purposes,
she said: "The international council,
composed of 19 national councils,
stands for social peace and interna-
tional arbitration, a single standard OF
morality, and the abolition of every
right and privilege of governments
that is limited by sex.
''In' many ways the progress of our
council has been retarded by the sew
eral wars which have arisen since its
organization. The action taken by
Christian nations during the late Box
er troubles, such as the looting of tenn
pies, the ill-treatment of priests and
the violation Of women deserves most
severe criticism. Relative to the pres
ent conflict raging in the Orient, if
every one of our seven million mem
bers had done her duty war would
have probably been averted. The
present attitude of our government to-
wards the extension of the navy is
subject to condemnation. The argu-
ment advanced that the building of
warships will establish a feeling of
security is ridiculous. Are we not
mad? Have we not forgotten our orr
gin? Have we not forgotten our des-
tiny?
I'm speaking of single standard of
morality, it is blasphemous nonsense
the race to advocate else.
Gas for woman suffrage, it is an in
suit to womanhood not to have it.

LAID DOWN ON THE TRACKS.
Two Young Men Killed BY Train
Near Athens, Tenn.

Athens, Tenn, Oct. 27.-Two young
men, aged about 21 and %, locked in
each others embrace, laid down upon
the tracks of the Jellico railway,
about four miles from here, and let
the train run over them. There is
nothing on their persons to indicate
their identity. The engineer on the
train states that he saw the forms of
the men on the track, rang the bell
and blew the whistle, but they did not
move. Every indication is that they
are brothers and desired to commit
suicide.
