Want the Next Meeting.

An effort will be made to capture
the next annual convention of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy
for this state, and a strong delegation
will be sent to the annual gathering
in San Francisco in October for the
purpose Of urging Gulfport, the me-
tropolis of the gulf coast. The gen.
eral organization of the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy has never
held its annual session in Mississippi
although this state is one of the
strongholds of the body, and it is
believed that the invitation to be ten
dered at the October session in San
Francisco will be accepted by an al
most unanimous vote.

HAPPENINGS
in MISSISSIPPI
tTEMS OF 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.
Values Two Miles at $4,000.

According to.the verdict of a jury
of eminent domain rendered at Val
, ley Park, Issaquena county, in con7
nection with right of way condemna-
tion proceedings, delta lands are ,ac-
quiring fabulous valuation. The pro-
ceedings were brought in order to en-
able the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
Railroad to obtain right of way
through the lands of W. w. Mangum
and II. B. Alden for the Valley Park,
Silver City extension. These parties
it was understood had tentatively
agreed to give the right of way at
nominal value figures, but when the
operations began they receded and
declined to meet the railway promot-
ers. 1t was then that the jury Of en-
inent domain was invoked. The
award by the jury on Aden's land for
fve-sixths of a mile, or about ten
acres was 81, 7,250 or 1925 an acre. The
same body awarded Mangum $2650
for sixteen acres, five of which are
timbered-or nearly $4,000 for two
miles of right of way. The proceed
ings were held before Magistrate l.
Lucas, of Filters, with Hon. Murray
T. Smith representing the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad and McLaurin & Armis-
ted the defendant land owners At
present it is difficult to say what will
be the outcome, or whether the rail
way company will accept the verdict.
1t will have the effect of delaying
construction of this important tap
line for some time longer than was
anticipated however.

smashed to considerable extent, one

preparing a letter to a personal friend
indorsing Secretary Taft as the logi-
cal candidate for the presidency.
This, it is asserted, will be the way
that the president will show the other
prominent politicians within the Re
publican ranks what he thinks of their
aspirations. Every act of the Pres
ident within the past two months has
tended toward such a announcement.
1t is understood. that the letter will be
addressed to Efihu Root, who, of
course will make it public. 1t will be
issued while Taft IS. awaS:in the Phil
ippines, so he may be spared the trou-
Die of denying that he has his eyes up
