FOUND A NEW "WOODCHUCK.n

ditures for Salary as the Board of

The alleged woodchuck is in chapter
Is, relating to the duties of local boards,
and provides that expenditures for
current expenses and salaries shall not
exceed in any year such proportion or
the whole sums available for the uses of
board of control shall prescribe.
Mr.. Ware contended that the clause
quoted was new matter and gave the
board Of control the authority. to fix
the salary of the president Of the state
university or any other person en-
ployed under authority of a local board
in charge Of state institution. w. p.
over pending a further investigation,
and Mr.. Ware consented. 1t is con-
tended that the amendment would
ultimately result in the board of con-
troll fixing the salaries Of the en-
ployees of all state inst buttons, by
limiting the total appropriation for sal
aries.

THE PROSPECT GLOOMY.


Clarion Ledger: The average Missis-
sippi farmer is getting mighty blue be-
cause of the continued wet weather and
his inability to get cotton in the ground
There is no doubt that planting opera
tons are from three to six weeks behind
in the state, and the present prospect is
that they will never be any nearer even
Not one-fourth of the cotton land has
been planted, and it is now time that il
should have been worked over at least
once.
The farmers of the Cotton Association
have worked assiduously for IS per
cent reduction in acreage and the chances
now are that they are going to get all they
asked for, and more too. Providence has
been on their side this time, and has done
what, perhaps, the farmers would never
have done-reduced the acreage according
to their promise.
The excess of moisture, and the beat.
ing rains have done great damage in many
ways. The strawberry crop has been
curtailed thousands of crates, and that
means thousands of dollars to the truck
ers. While other vegetables have grown
and prospered, the grass and weeds have
been doing the same, and many patches
are simply overrun.
There have been numerous washouts
on the railroads and traffic and travel has
been demoralized in every direction.
In several localities the wind has played
havoc with fences and fruits, blowing and
beating the young fruit from the trees
and doing damage that cannot be re-
paired.

Headquarters Rankin Camp, No. 2o5.
Brandon, Miss, May 3, 1905. !
General Order No. 2o. The camp will
meet promptly at 10 o'clock, on May 9th,
at the court house. All members are
urgently requested to pay annual dues
(25c) on or before that daay. Delegates
are to be selected to the Louisville and
Jackson reunions. The commander begs
full turnout of the camp, and invites all
who are interested to participate with us
in paying fitting tribute to our dead. Our
ranks are being depleted by the fell de-
stroyer; the living should fill up the gaps,
as in days of yore, doing our duty now as
then. Come then, and held.
The Daughters will confer crosses of
honor upon the following veterans who
must be here in person if possible, to-wit:

At 1890 a. m. the veterans will form on
the square and march to the cemetery,
followed by the Daughters; they by the
school children, and then such citizens as
feel disposed to fall in as token of their
kindly feeling for those dead heroes, who
in the flesh fought that they may be free
men. We feel that all will give a few
hours to so righteous cause. We ask
all, whether their predictions were with
the blue or the gray. The grave of each
is to be honored, regardless of what flag
was followed, or preferred. Brave men
always honor worthy foe, but we are
now all Americans, and should give a
little time to our country.

sippi. He came to his home in this city,
and was given the most skillful treat
ment at the command of the medical frat
ernity and the loving care of wife and
daughters, but steadily grew worse until
a few weeks ago when he was taken to
New Orleans for treatment.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
DR.. Solomon Willard Mcdowell was
born in Green county, Alabama, on June

Dowell. The family moved to Missis-
sippi some years before the war and took
up their residence in the northern part of
Rankin county. DR.. Mcdowell attended
the medical college of his uncle, DR.. N.
Mcdowell, who was afterWard surgeon
general of the Trans MiSsisSiDpi division
Of the Confederaoy. DR.. Mcdowell did
not fancy the practice of medicine, and
after few years he gave it up, for the
freer life of a planter. In December IL,
1862, he was married to Miss Matilda
Love McLaurin, daughter of the late
Judge Daniel McLaurin, and of this
union there were born eight children,
seven of whom are now left to mourn the
loss of their loving father.

ing interests of this family. DR.. Nc
Dowell has not been we'll man for more
than year and for the last nine months
his loved ones have known that the end
was not far off. The most skilled medi-
cal attention was given him, but it was
deereed otherwise. Last Saturday he was
taken to New Orleans for an operation at
the Turo infirmary, which operation, on
the advice of the physicians, was not
performed owing to the weakness of the
patient Yesterday afternoon at o'clock
he passed away in New Orleans, and his
remains were brought to the city last
night. The funeral took place from his
