Keep Up the Work.

Atlanta The annual reorganiza-
ton and election of all the officers of
the Southern Cotton Association in
all OF the cotton growing counties and
parishes is near at hand. The election
OF officers and delegates for all the
civil subdivisions, townships, militia
districts and school precincts, as they
are differently termed in the several
states, will take place on the first Sal
lrday in December. Farmers, mer-
chants and bankers are urgently re-
1Hested to meet on that day at their
local meeting points in the various
sections of the county and choose
from one to five delegates to repre-
sent them in their county organiza-
ton. The County or parish meeting
will be held at the county site on Dec
ember 9th, or the following Saturday.
These delegates will then perfect their
county organization by the election Of
officers and the selection of from one
to three delegates to represent their
county or parish at the general state
meetings. The state meetings will be
held at the different state capitals on
January 3rd, and the delegates so
chosen by the county organizations on.
December 9th will elect their state Of
ficers for 1906, and also the members
OF the Executive Committee Of the
Southern Cotton Association on the
same basis of representation as for
1905. The Executive Committee IF
the National Organization so chosen
will meet at Hot Springs, Ark, on the
third Tuesday in January 1906. Far
mers throughout the cotton belt are
urged to promptly attend this call
on the first Saturday in December and
get the machinery of the local organl-
zation in motion. Follow the differ
ent meetings up and let the Associa-
tion get on sound, systematic and
substantial basis. Members of the
Farmers Union, and other organic
tions are cordially and earnestly in
vited to join the Association that
every farmer in the south may CO.
operate shoulder to shoulder for The
one purpose of handling the great sta
pie crop of the south at profitable
prices to the producers.

Asks Helps to Get Her Children.

New York, Nov. Madame Schu-
mann-Heink, opera singer, has ap-
pealed to the State Department at
Washington to arrange her affairs 80
that her estate in Germany and her
children, who are now being held there
in accordance with the German laws,
can be restored to her.
Madame Schumann-Heink, after her
last marriage, went abroad with heI
American husband, and after weeks
Of effort to obtain possession of her
children and the estate, returned with
the three youngest of the family, two
boys and a girl.
They were permitted to accompany
their mother on condition that they be
educated in accordance with German
ideas, and when the boys are of age
that they return to Germany for ser
vice in the army.
The other five children, one of
whom is married, must remain In Ger
many.
Madame Schumann-Heink married
de Leon Rapp of Chicago, who has
been manager Of the diva's business
affairs in America.

Gilhooley's s Trial.

Chicago. With the ending of thc
eighth week of the Gilhooley trial
and with no additional jurors in sight,
Deputy Clerk Charles Trimble Of the
criminal court has prepared statistics
showing that the examination of We
nire men had cost the state $6500, and
that the court expenses have been
$4,000. The board Of he jurors al
ready acceped has cost $500, and there
stands due to jurors $500. The total
amount is $11,800.
This breaks all records for expense
and length of time in securing a jury
in Chicago. The nearest approach was
the Luetgert wife murder trial. 1t IS
ended the Gilhooley case will cost the
taxpayers close to $4,000.

Property Takes a Big Jump.

The city assessment roll for the com
ing year, which has recently been
completed at Columbus, shows the to-
tai valuation of Columbus real estate
to be $2,433, ,4S0, against $2,04S, 800
last year, an increase of 1886, lS0.
The total assessed valuation ON per-
sonal property is $1,14,510, against
$1,112,727 last year, an increase of
$1,7S3. While this is a splendid show
ing, it does not begin to tell the sto-
ry of the progress which has been
made there during the past year. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been expended in the erection of mills
and factories, and the assessment does
not include these as all manufactur-
ing enterprises are exempted from
taxation for a period of five years.
Were all these mills and factories in
cluded the total valuation of property
would be at least $5,00,000. Notwith-
standing the fact that the growth of
Columbus has brought large increase
in the amount necessary to defray the
expenses of the municipality, the tax
levy has not been increased, but re-
mains at IL mills, the same as last
year. This was made possible by the
increase in values which the growth
of the city has brought about.

yer. The state health officer, d most
competent official took charge of the
situation but with what result Mem
bers of the medical profession denied
the existence of yellow fever i'll that
city. Business men claimed that the
state health officer said that there was
yellow fever there because he was
from Key West and he wanted the
ships Of the United States navy to
rendezvous there. Citizens refused
to allow their premises to be inspect
ed, and one man obtained an injunc-
ton against the disinfecting corps.
There are now more new cases I'M PEN
saeola than in New Orleans: Observe
national government vs. state control.
1t has been said that this national
service would not be friendly to the
south. Forty per cent of it is from
the south. At the bureau in Washing
ton three out of five of the assistant
surgeon generals are from the south.
Is 1t hard to choose between trained
corps and state and municipal quar-
antine officers who seldom ever re-
main long enough in their official po-
sitions to become a part of their
work? Will you people who live in
the interior cities submit to the intro
duction Of yellow fever because of in
efficient quarantine service at certain
ports of entrance, when you have it
within your power to remedy the evil,
and forever shut out this disease?
Consider the loss of trade to the whole
south, and legislatures inadequate
measures for your protection, for this
IS a fight against measures not men.
You, who seek to bring to us the best
class of immigrants, do you not know
that yellow fever prevents the Anglo
Saxon from settling in the southern
states. Do you not know that you may
show that typhoid fever, in the north
ern and western states kills more peo-
pie than yellow fever does in the
south and yet the sturdy immigrant
from Great Britain and northern Eu-
rope seldom comes our way. Is not
this, also, true of northern capital?
You may speak of the fertility of the
soil, of the openness of the climate,
and Of all the other good things we
possess, but the fact remains that the
Anglo-Saxon fears yellow fever, and
he will not come to us. The Latin,
the world over, whether in New Or
leans, the West Indies, Central or
South America, not only tolerates it,
but it would appear that he uses it as
a protection against the coming of the
stronger race. You may talk of an
international conference on the sub
ject of yellow fever, but the protection
Of the southern states lies in the pre-
vention Of its introduction. You can
have this protection for the asking of
it. VIII you ask?
Only one other paper was present
ed at this session. 1t was by DR.. w.
H. Sanders, health officer of Alabama.
His subject: "Public Health, How to
Protect it," was treated exhaustively.
On the motion of Gov. Glenn, Of
North Carolina, the officers of the con-
ference were instructed to agree on
time and place for future meet
ing of the conference with the intent
that it shall be made of annual recur

MISSISSIPPI STATE
HAPPENINGS
ITEMS Or INTEREST FROM ALL
SECTIONS:
AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From the Important Happen
ings Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed in
Brief.
Appeal to Teachers.

Chancellor R. B. Fulton, of tho
State University of Mississippi direc-
tor of the Southern Educational As
ISOLATION, has issued an appeal to the
teachers of the state to attend the two
educational meetings to be held in
Nashville on November % and 23rd.
A portion of the address is as follows:
"The Southern Educational Associa-
ton deals with general problems that
concern us and our sister states. The
Association of Colleges and Prepara-
tory Schools deals with questions that
affect high schools and colleges, and
that makes for better scholarship. Ev-
cry principal and superintendent and
every progressive teacher, should ar
range to attend. From these meetings
he will bring inspiration and knowl-
edge that can nowhere else be pro-
cured, and that will make better his
work for the school which he serves
and the community in which he labors
School boards should realize that the
most vigorous and efficient work can
only be done by teachers who keep IN
touch with the best thought and work
of others, and these boards cannot bet
ter serve the schools under their care
than by making liberal provision for
the attendance of at least one repre-
sentative of their schools at the Nash
vile meetings. Mississippi occupies
position of leadership in certain
lines of educational work, which posi-
ti6p can be maintained only by the
Improvement of every opportunity u
increase the efficiency Of our work.

Experimental Cotton Farm.

w. M. Bamberge, special agent of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, established farm at Sum-
NIT for the growing of cotton along
the improved lines advocated by the
government which have proven sue
cessful throughout Texas. Mr.. Bam-
berge is authority for the statement
that if the cultural methods outlined
by him are followed by the planter the
boil weevil will be exterminated and
a great yield of finer cotton will re-
suit. A farm was established at Nc
Comb City. Mr.. Bamberge will con-
tinue his tours throughout the state
disseminating the new government
plan of raising cotton and corn.

The Catholic University.

ashington.-T Board Of Trus-
tees of the Catholic University de-
cided to apply the remaining $51 900
Of the gift of $1O1,O0 to the institu-
ton made by Mrs. Gardiner of Balti-
more to the debt of the university. A
special collection will take place in
all the Catholic churches on the first
Sunday in Advent for the benefit Of
the institution, at which the trustees
hope to raise $150,0OO. In this event
$4,000 will be applied to the cancella-
ion of the remainder Of tie debt and
the balance will be invested to meet
current and other expenses.
