The withdrawal Of General Conklin
from the race for appointment as adj
jutant general was one of the snrpris,
/ es the past week. In letter to TOW
enor Eirod he bases his action on the
grounds that the governor has recon-
( mended SO small an amount for the
support of the national gaurd that he
does not care to stay at the head OF the
organization under the circumstances.
The general had some time yet to
serve under his appoint four years
B ago by Governor Herreid, but taking his
! statement for granted Governor Elrod
promptly appointed Col. g. II. Engieshy,
OF WATERFOWL, in his stead, and the sen
ate promptly confirmed the latter.

regret that the situation has made it
necessary for General Conklin 10 retire
from his important position at the head
OF the national guard. He far more

toslook upon General Conklill as the

Mrs. Harriet Raines. of Jackson,
received telegram from her brother,
Austin Neely, Of Washington county,
informing her briefly that his son,
Shelby Neely, had died in Africa on
the 31st of August.
Shelby Neely was born and raised
in Rankin county, and was son of
one Of the Oldest and best families that
ever inhabited this section of the
state. He was about 3a years of age,
and had been in East Africa the past
three or four years, teaching the ma
tives how to produce cotton. He was
in the emf 10y Of the English govern

GONE BACK TO WEsTvILLE

The board of supervisors of Simp-
son county have moved back to their
old courthouse at Westville, at last,
and very reluctantly, it seems.
Four or five years ago Simpson
county voted on the proposition to
move the courthouse from Westville
to some point on the Gulf and Ship
Island railroad, and Mendenhall won
according to the decision Of the
election commissioners.
I The records were moved to Menden.
hall in single day, and that place
has been the county capital ever since.
The matter was taken to the courts.
and the removalists lost at every turn
made.
Chancellor Mayes held that that
the election did not carry for the rea-
son that the number Of voters re-.
quisite to move county site further
from the center of the county than
was the old one, had not voted.
Ihe Supreme Court upheld That
decision and gave the supervisors six
months to get back to their old
quarters at Westville. They had the
old courthouse repaired and moved in
last week.
The few citizens who had remained
at Westville are happy over their
victory and those who sold out and
moved to the railroad and the new
town are crestfallen.
Il may be that the vote will be
taken again after 3 while, and as
Simpson now has two lines Of rail-
road, the interest in removal will
be greater than ever.

NOTABLE FEVER Ep1DEMIUs.

The Jackson Clarion Ledger pub
lished the following article which
will be of particular interest to Mis-
sissippi readers:
UNIFORMED people have an idea
that yellow fever has been confined,
in country, to to tho south alone,
which is not the case, statistics show
ing that the plague swept the whole
Atlantic coast in 1898, when 2.O86 per-
sons died of it in New York city,
while 3,645 died of the disease the
same year in Philadelphia, and the
records show that 4,544 died in that
city during the epidemic in 1903. In
1874 the death list from yellow fever
in Baltimore was $50, and in 1897
some $50 died there; but in 1900 the
list was swelled to 1897.
The yellow fever epidemics have
been worse in New Orleans than in
any city in the United States, the fol-
lowing being the record

The epidemic of 1878 was the
greatest recorded in the history of
this country, as it stretched from New
Orleans to Chicago. AS will be seen
by the figures above New Orleans then
had its second largest death list, 3,976.
Mississippi suffered terribly that
year. more than she had in all other
epidemics. The plague was scattered
from Mississippi City to Holly
Springs, and from Vicksburg to Me-
ridian. Vicksburg, Grenada, and
Holly Springs were the greatest suf-
ferers.
A list of deaths from fever in Mis-
sissippi towns in 1878 is printed be-
low, and will prove of interest to all
readers in this state:

A sustaining Diet.

These are tho enervating days,
when, as somebody has said, men drop
by the sunstroke as IL the Day Of Fire
had dawned. They are fraught with
danger to people whose systems are
poorly sustained; and this leads us to
say, in the interest Of the less robust
OF our readers, that the fun effect Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla is such as to sug-
gest the proprietyiOf calling this medi-
cine something besides blood Puri-
fer and tonie,-say, a sustaining diet.
1t makes il much easier to bear the
heat, assures refreshing sleep, and will
without doubt avert much sickness at
this time Of year.

In other words, since these foreign Sc

them, the billion dollar indemnity was
paid to Prussia, partly in its own se-
