Little Hiram Waddell was a healthy
baby boy until last January, when no
accidentally got into a can of I've and
ate some Of the poison. The baby's
life was saved at the time with great
difficulty, and it was thought that he
would recover with little after effects.
However, from the time Of the poison
ing the baby wasted away until death
came Sunday morning and released
the child from the frail little body OF
which little remained but the frame
of bone. The I've had eaten out the

THE COTTON BOOM.

Students of the cotton market ex-
press amazement at the unparalleled
prospective prosperity Of the south
by reason of the peculiar situation
the spinners of the world are placed
in with reference to raw cotton sup
plies. The farmer holds, of the old
crop, about 800, 900 bales, now worth
about II cents per pound. Every
pound of the new crop will bring in
the open market about that much.
More than twelve million of bales of
the old crop have been sold at an av-
erage of about 81 cents. Thus the
cotton producers and the southern in
terests dependent upon them are now
in fair way to enjoy period of the
greatest prosperity they have ever had,
for the world will need every bale of
the old surplus and every bale of the
new crop to meet the unprecedented
demand for manufactured goods. AT
least for the time being, the day of
farm mortgages in the south has
passed, and one year from today the
southern farmer who hasn't snug
sum in the bank and all debts paid
will be singularly alone, and except
in very rare instances, without an
excuse other than Encouragement.
The responsible agents are; the ex.
cellent trade conditions of the world /;
continuous bad weather which has
prevented another gigantic crop and
the holding of cotton by the farmer
and thus preventing the speculator
from controlling the markets.
PROFESSIONALLY, the south as a
whole is on the eve of great prosper
ity.

WILSON P. STEVENS.

1t is not the highest manifestation
of love to wait until one has departed
from this life to speak of his excellent
qualities, but sometimes, when a use
full christian soul casts off his mortal
garment and joins the redeemed host,
his deeds stand SO prominently before
us that we cannot refrain from saying
something of his earthly career. 1t
is an impulse like this that prompts
the writer to make a few brief re-
marks concerning the life of our la.
mented friend and brother, Wilson P.
Stevens.
Mr.. Stevens was born in Lawrence
County, Miss, September /, 1850. He
moved to Rankin county when a small
boy, in which county he has since re-
sided. Being compelled to spend his
boyhood days during the trying times
of the civil war and reconstruction.
he, like many other youths of his day,
was deprived of many advantages that
the youths of today may easily OBJ
tain. Viewing the situation at a
glance, upon reaching manhood he
entered boldly the battle of life and
accomplished far more than many who
have received college training.
In the business world, Mr.. Stevens
was indeed success. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that he was deprived of
extensive educational advantages, he
left large estate for mis- family.
In February. 1876. Mr.. Stevens was
married to Miss Margaret Riddle, of
Brandon. Till the hour Of his depart
ure, they lived together sharing the
joys and sorrows of one another. To
them were born ten children, seven of
whom are now living. But the para
mount event of his life occurred in the
morning of his manhood when at Dry
Greek church he gave his life to
Christ The greatest evidence of a
mans religion is when he sees his
own weakness. Many an hour have
sat with Brother Stevens and heard
him talk of how hard it is for mortal
man to live model christian life-of
how diligent satan is in trying to rob
us of our reward. He boldly profess
ed Christ, and as an evidence of the
reality of it, he lived a God-fearing
life.
Mr.. Stevens was in delicate. health
for more than year before his death.
He bore his suffering with a christian
fortitude until May 16, 1905, and then
with loved ones gathered about him
he quietly laid aside the earthly tenn
pie, in which he had dwelt for more
than fifty years, and went to meet the
one who said: I'm my Fathers
house are many mansions.
The remains were inferred in the
family burial ground near Dry Greek,
Rev. Wayne Sutton conducting the
services.

JAMES J. JACKSON.

The subject Of this sketch lived
many.years in this community, was
born in North Carolina on June 1st,
1889, died June 9Th, 1905. He came
to Kemper County, Miss, some years
before the civil war. Soon afther the
war terminated he removed to this
community.
Mr.. Jackson lived quiet, law
abiding citizen, recognizing the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship as few
man do. His character for honesty
and integrity was SO we'll established
that all who knew him felt him en-
tirely trustworthy, and his credit was
as satisfactory to merchants as the
most reputable white man. But the
most conspicuous phase Of his charac-
ter was his usefulness among his own
people, while this was not confined
alone to his own race, yet, with them,
his influence was greater, and he d.
rected his efforts mainly from the
pulpit and in social intercourse to
them. Many times did he restrain
men. from acts Of violence and had
them to see the error OF disobedience
of law. He taught them that laws
are Of God and that to violate them is
q crime against God as we'll as against
civil government, and thus upheld
the majesty Of the law. He favored
wholesome laws for all classes and be-
lieved christian principles should

LIFE INSURANCE AND THE
SOUTH.

Southern life insurance policy
holders are reaping only minimum
reward for their thrift and industry.
For years they have been throwing
their money into the East, when il
should have been kept at home de.
veloping their own industries. -
The above statement made by q
prominent Louisiana banker to an
other at the. st. Charles Hotel last
week, resulted in developinga high.
ly interesting story due, SO the banker
explained, to some deep thinking he
had lately given subject of utmost
Importance to every wage Garner and
investor in the south.
NEARLY all Of the life insurance
companies are located in the north, !"
said he, "and accumulate huge sums
there from premiums, which are in
vested to very large extent in north
ern securities. This practice of in.
vesting funds, which are nothing
more than the savings of the people
of the entire country, in one section
of the country has immensely bene-
fitted that section, helping in a
thousand legitimate ways even in
dustry and giving employment to
millions of wage earners and opening
up profitable investments to capital
lists. We're the same principle ap-
piled to savings banks, and all the
savings sent to New York for invest
ment, the -sidedness Of the practice
would be still more apparent.
From the view point of the fnan-
cier and the policy holder in the
south, big life insurance company,
doing business all over the country
but investing most of it's accumula-
tions in the south, would o long
way in adjusting the balance, and its
success within few years would be
followed by the organization of others
which in time would keep hundreds
of millions of dollars of money in the
south which is now being utilized in
building up the north.
L have talked with a number of
bankers and southern policy holders,
and / am convinced the organization
of such company would be generally
encouraged in the south. The organ
ization should be along the strongest
lines possible, and the control should
be in the hands of the policy holders
in fact as we'll as in theory. It
should be stock company with q
million or more capital, every share
of which is to be retirable at the
pleasure kof the company. Such q
concern would be patronized, and the
south would take pride in promoting
its success. Such company would
do just as much for its policy holders
as any other, and at the same time
help, through its high class southern
investments every legitimate southern
industry. A number Of prominent
bankers and business men are already
deeply interested in the matter, and
may take it up definitely some day
Hoon.

PASS HIM AROUND
a PeddIer Gets Into
Trouble In The City of
Meridian.

One of the worst cases TO come
under the notice of the police was
on for hearing in the mayors
court this morning when a man
giving his name as c.. W. Wick
ers was up on a charge of being a
dangerous and suspicious char
acter.
1t is fortunate for Vickers that
the police found him b 0 a
WELL known citizen of this city
who was searching for him at the
time he was arrested. Instead Of
going to the street gang, as he
will likely do, there would doubt
less have been a funeral and, as
consequence, more wholesome
atmosphere in and around Me-
ridian.
Vickers has been canvassing
houses in Meridian for several
days, ostensibly to sell a rat pois-
on and other household articles.
His main purpose however, seems
to have been the meditation of a
brutal attack upon some young
and innocent child.
Two or three days ago he call
ed at house and brazenly kiss
ed and petted a little girl. Later,
while he was still there, and
while the mother was out of the
room, ne attempted caresses in
the case of a somewhat older
girl. The innocent and unsus.
pecting children made no special
complaint, and yesterday the
older of the two came down town
on an errand. She was seen by
Vickers and he stopped to speak
to her.
He asked her to walk TO the
postoffice, and on the way was
endearing in his re-
