COUNTY COTTON
ASSOCIATION.
AIN IMPORTANT MEETING HELD AT
THE COURT HOUSE SATURDAY.
Officers Of National Association Unani-
mOuSIy Endorsed.
PRES. JORDAN COMING OCT. 18TH
BIG MEETING ARRANGED FOR
THAT DAY.

At a called meeting of the Lin
coin County Cotton Association,
held at the court house, Saturday,
Oct. 18th, President Summers in
the chair, the following business
was transacted:
A committee composed of j. w.
McGrath, P. u. Jones and j. M.
May, Sr., was on motion, appoint
ed to secure a hall for the meeting
of the Association, to be held on
Wednesday, Oct. 18th, on which
date Hon. Haryie Jordan, presi-
dent of the Southern Cotton Asso-
citation, is to be present and de-
liver an address; said committee
to make all necessary arrange
ments.
A committee composed of B. I.
Hobbs, W. K. Wood and A.
Mikas were also appointed to ad-
vertise said meeting.
On motion, the County Associa-
tion unanimously endorsed the
actions and efforts of the officers,
State and National, of the South
ern Cotton Association, in their
supreme and untiring efforts to
secure to the cotton growers,
their legitimate share of the
profits of their labor.
A motion was also unanimously
adopted requesting the trustees of
the several white schools of the
county to call a meeting of the
cotton growers of their school dis
tricts, for the purpose of organic
ing district associations, said asso-
Citations, when organized, to elect

THE DELTA COrTON CROP.
Thirty to Forty Per Cent. Short Of
Last Year.

The cotton crop of the Delta is
short; there is no doubt on this
point. There is but little top
crop and an early frost would do
small damage on a majority of the
Delta plantations, because the cot
ton ceased its work of making
forms, blooms and bolls several
weeks ago and the cotton bolls
now on the stalk have matured.
There is, however, some cotton
in the Delta that has kept grow
ing and making" cotton bolIs
right along and cotton of that
kind, which is only small per
cent. of the crop, would be damag-
ed by an early frost. The con-
census of opinion among the cot
ton planters generally, is that the
crop of the Delta is forty per cent.
short of a full crop and thirty per
cent. short of the crop of last year.
If crop conditions in the South,
as whole, are similar to condi-
tons in the Yazoo- Mississippi
Valley, the finest cotton growing
section of the South, the Southern
Cotton Associations estimate OF
5000, 900 bales is not far wrong,
but it is probable that other sec
tions have better crops, compare
lively, than the elta.-Green-
vile Democrat.
The Democrat has not overesti.
mated the shortage of the crop.
In this portion Of the Delta the
indications now are that the crop
will fall fully 80 or 40 per cent.
behind last years, which was not
full crop. Planters here all say
the yield is poorer than they have
ever known before. -Yazoo Her

Stealing Examination PAPERS.

Attention has been called more
than once to the fact that the
State Superintendent of Education
had a great deal CT trouble in pre-
venting questions to be put to ap-
plicants from becoming public
property. 1t has also been ex-
planned how the secrets were
guarded from the teachers by hav-
ing the questions printed in the
Office of the State Superintendent
of Education-the printing Offices
of outside cities having failed to
accomplish the desired result
and it was believed that success
had crowned the efforts of the su-
perintendent, since he had come to
sending the questions to the coun-
ty superintendents under sealed
covers and by special delivery.
But the cat got out of the wallet
again at a certain point a few days
ago. The negro applicants for
license to teach had managed to
get advance copies of the ques-
tions and bad fortified themselves
with proper answers. The coun-
ty superintendent caught on, how
ever, obtained other questions
from the State Superintendent and
fired some of the applicants from
the examination room. 1t seems
impossible for the State to sue
cessfully hide these question
blanks from the teachers. Jack

PubIIc.SpIrlted Mississippi Woman.


The numerous friends of Mrs.
Fannie j. Kicks will sincerely re-
gret to learn that she is thinking
Of giving up her citizenship in
Yazoo City and becoming a resi-
dent of Washington City, where
she has spent the last two winters.
Yazoo City has never had a more
progressive or enterprising citi-
zen than Mrs. Kicks, nor one who
took greater pride in its growth
and prosperity. There was never.
a cali made upon her for any en-
terprise that would assist The city
that she did not literally respond
to, and while her subscriptions to
public enterprises were large, she
was also liberal contributor to
many worthy objects Of charity.
In many ways that the public
knows not of has she of her means
given aid and assistance.
Mrs. Kicks Iiberality was not
confined to Yazoo City. For
three years she maintained at her
own expense, summer normals at
the State University, and hun
dreds are the girls and boys of
Mississippi who were vastly bene-
fitted by these. In addition to
this, she has given the money to
numbers of girls that they might
pursue their studies at institutions
of learning. 1t would be hard to
recount the many ways in which
her generosity has been extended,
for she never refused to assist any
call that appealed to her.
She is the largest individual
holder Of property in Yazoo City,
owning numbers of buildings
both stores and residences and in
addition to this is largely inter
ested in several of the city's fnan-
cial and manufacturing enter
prises. In the disastrous fire of
May 25, 1904, a large portion of
her buildings were swept away,
including her costly residence and
its contents. Nothing daunted,
she returned to the city. from
| Washington where she was visit
Iing-and with a heroism that elic-
| tied the admiration of everyone,
she begun the work of rebuilding,
and before year bad elapsed
every building burned was re-
built, each one of them being bet
ter than were the ones destroyed.
And in addition to replacing the
buildings destroyed by fire, she
purchased other lots upon which
she has had handsome buildings
erected.
The rebuilding of her residence
Mrs. Kicks left to the last, and
this she has not yet begun, saying
she preferred waiting until her
hands and mind might be free
from other cares that she might
give to its erection and furnishing
the time that she desired. 1t is
hoped that after she has become
thoroughly rested from the ordeal
through which she has passed be-
cause Of the disasters of the fire
and Of rebuilding, which taxed
her energies and strength to their
utmost, that she will decide to
again make her home in Yazoo
City, where she has so many
friends. This has been her home
for many years, and it is in Yazoo
City that she will ever find a
warm welcome. But should she
decide otherwise, and we're every
house of hers again swept away,
and the Yazoo Library building
left, that would be a monument to
the generosity of this public-spir-
tied woman. Upon that building
and it's unexcelIed furnishings and
equipment she spent more than
! t$25, 900 as a memorial to her hus-
band, Gen. Benjamin S. Ricks.

company in Trabuco canyon, Orange
county, and the stock of that concern
has scared slkyward in consequence.
Information upon the discovery has
been slow in leaking out, as the direc-
tors of the company, of which Gail
Borden is president, G. w. Hoover vice
president and L. c. Conner secretary,
have been suppressing information un-
til they should have all loose stock
bought up. In speaking Of the COM
pany and the recent discovery Mr..
Conner said: There is now no stock
of the company on the market, for we
have succeeded in tracing and obtain
ing all outstanding blocks.
"As for the mines, think we have
something good. We are now turning
platinum to the ton, and platinum is
worth $27 an ounce. Besides the plat
mum we find a small by product of
iradium and enough tin to pay us for
the running expenses of the mine.
"Our mines are in Trabuco canyon,
fifteen miles from Ell Toro, in Orange
county. Work was begun there four
years ago last March and our original
intention was to mine tin. Some little
time ago, however, traces of platinum
were found while making a test for a
new grade of ore. On the strength of
the discovery we began to buy ur
blocks of the stock and now that that
is accomplished an electric furnace
costing $1,000 is to be installed for the
melting of the platinum.
''At the mines we have sunk main
shaft of eighty feet with a drift of
fifty feet, a secondary shaft thirty feet
deep with a short drift. Besides these
we have two tunnels, one Of 300 feet
with a drift of 125 feet, and the other
with no drift, but 200 feet deep.
There is plenty of water at the
camp, for we have nearly 1000 miners
inches of running water in the canyon.
Before the discovery of platinum we
had erected a ten-stamp mill for tin
mining and since the discovery we
have installed a laboratory and assay
office. Besides these buildings we have
a camp, consisting of five cottages, a
store house, a blacksmith shop and
cook house.
