AN EPIYOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From the Important Happen
ings Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed in
Brief.
Camp Breaks.

The officers Of the First Ohio regi-
ment a. Vicksburg had their innings
at the target before breaking camp
with the following results: Colonel G.
F. Hake led with score Of ten
straight bull 's-eyes at 500 yeards. Ma
jor Harry Bryan, of the battalion,
was second with a score Of Al at 200
yards, 40 at 800 and AZ at 500. Major
Ward, at the same ranges, fell s points
behind Major Bryan. Major Becht S
average at the three ranges was LOG.
Other good individual scores were
made, which will send a large number
Of the rank and file to Newark, Ohio,
to compete for the national champion
ship entry at Seagirt. Colonel Hake
expresses himself as greatly pleased
with the result shown by the target
practice at this encampment, the best
in his experience. The officers were
given trip on the Mississippi River
and up the Yazoo Canal on the steel
hull transfer steamer Pelican. Super
intendent E. Ford, of the Alabama &
Vieksburg division of the Queen &
Crescent railroad was the host of the
occasion. A special train was run to
the river bank and on to the craft,
which steamed several miles up and
dodwn the stream. A largely attended
reception at the Hotel Carroll con-
emded the festivities arranged for the
entertainment of the officers. Amid

the First Ohio National Guard pulled
out from the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley passenger depot, after just a
week in the city and vicinity. From
an early hour in the morning the pop
ulace began to assemble along the
roads and streets which constituted
the line Of march from the camp to
the train in order to catch a last
glimpse Of the boys in blue and buff.

COL. HENRY HESTER
CONSULTING EXPERT
HAS ACCEPTED OFFER WITH
CENSUS BUREAU.
WILL IN NO WAY INTERFERE
With His Regular Work at The New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, and He
Will be Able to Garry on Both at
The Same Time.

New Orleans H. G.. Hester
secretary of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange has accepted the position
Of consulting statistical expert to the
cotton division Of the Census Bureau.
Telegraphic information to this ef'
feet was received in New Orleans from
Col. Hester who has been in Washing
ton for some days looking into the
matter. This work will in no way
conflict with his present and pros
pective duties at the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange. The news was rath-
er anticipated by Col. Hester's friends
who appreciate the recognition con-
ferred on Col. Hester's years of work.
According to Washington dispatch
es, Col. Hester spent some time with
Director North in Washington. He
found that his duties Of the position
with the Census Bureau would in no
way conflict with the statistical work
he has been doing for several years:
and that he will be able to carry on
both at the same time.
In carrying out the law passed at
the last session Of Congress, which
called for the preparation of certain
statistics, the Census Office will arrive
at its results from a different stand
point than that from which Mr.. Hes
ter works. 1t will get accurate and
exact figures of the actual growth, the
figures on cotton carried over each
year, and will eventually arrive at the
exact figures of the mill stock left
over in this country and abroad.
The government could not, Of course
touch upon the work of gathering the
rapid-fire information that Mr.. Hester
gathers on weekly and monthly condi-
tions, but with it's immense forces it
can gather a greater mass and
fuller detail of information if given in
plenty of time. Director North real
ICES, as do all, who are interested in
the cotton industry, the value Of such
facts to the cotton people Of the coun-
try. An accurate knowledge of the
aIaount Of cotton left on hand wheth-
er stored for future sales on in the
mills at the end of the year, will en-
able the growers of cotton to intelli-
gently arrange for the ensuing year.
From time to time, as the Census
Office reports come in and are exam
ined by lrector North and his sta
tisticians, Mr.. Hester will be called
into consultation in order that the
government may have the benefit of
his exceptional knowledge Of cotton
conditions and figures. He will leave
Washington for New Orleans tomor.
row and return to Washington when
summoned by Mr.. North. Part of his
work will be done by mail, but it will
be frequently necessary for him to
consult personally with the census Of
ficials.
