Compress Sold.

The Tupelo Compress Company
was on last week sold to the Gulf
Compress Company with head
quarters in Memphis. The sale
was the result of negotiations
which have been going on for
several weeks. The agreement
to dispose of all the stock was
finally secured and the transfer
was made and the property turn
ed over to the new people. The
price was $2.25 which Was-cheap
enought for the property. The
stock has been ever since the
first building of the compress
here one of the best paying in
vestments in the city and it was
impossible to buy any of it except
at very high figures. The Gulf
Compress Co. have been buying
up the congresses in this and adj
joining states for several years.
It is understood that high officials
of the railroads are behind the
project. The Tupelo property
is the best in North Mississippi,
with splendid equipment and a
magnificent warehouse. The ca
pacity of the plant is ample for
100, 900 bales annually.

Inc ldte Cdpl. Jas. klRcdnIlOIl.
Every one throughout this sec
ton regrets to learn Of the death
lof Capt. James Kincannon Of
Verona. He was a landmark Of
the old school Of ante bellum
make, his political principles
having been moulded under the
influence Of the great John G
Calhoun. Capt. Kincannon was q
veteran of two great Wars-a
victor in one, but vanquished in
the other. He fought under old
lack Taylor with Davis, Grant
and other victorious Federals in
in the plains of Mexico, that the
Stars and Stripes might float over
Texas and her sister common
wealths.
When the clash between slavery
and abolition came Capt. Jim
Kincannon volunteered to pro-
tect his state in her domestic
institutions, against the threats
of a ''rabble majority that
threatened to upturn social and
political customs in the South.
He was born in old Fayetteville
Tenn, back in the days when
Henry Clay was in the zenith Of
his power, and grew up to man
hood when the South controlled
the political destinies of the
Nation; and he saw his beloved
section shorn of her mighty power
and Inundated past endurance;
and he saw a pail Of the Dark
Ages hang over his native state
during the early '70s.
The rabid negro equallzers who
mauraded the halls Of congress
at the close of war under the
leadership of old Thad Stevens
who wanted to mulattoize the
nation and confiscate the lands
OF the slave owners because they
tried to secede, was enough to
cause men of Capt. Kincannon's
political mould to hate the very
word, Republican principles. But
the old Captain who fought for
the Nations expansion under
Folk dispared Of the Union when
Lincoln was elected, and Shout
dered his musket, marching off
to attempt to server his section
from the undesirable confeder-
ation with perpetual abolition
agitators, almost doubted demo-
Ecracy itself when he saw a fan
atical Northern majority attempt
to supplant the white race of the
South by eleyating the newly
liberated slaves to power.
But he saw his sections unite
the shackles of malicious hate.
tough inside of the Union, and
TIE domestic peace Of the
old Confederate States restored,
and the dawn of prosperity beam
on Southern hope.
Going through such political
upheavals was enough to make
a man slightly Indifferent and bit
ter Of soul when dangerous po-
litical extremes befall his path
Ike those that cost the country
so much blood.
Capt. Kincannon never did
become reconciled to Republican
tendencies, yet he became liberal
enough to render unto Caesar
the things that were Caesars.
He was,an able writer, learned
in the great classics, and a good
stump speaker; though able in
convention he was not a success
as a politician, which was no
discredit. Whether his keen
acrimony against the opposition
counterbalanced his high flavor

PAPER TRUSTS REPLY.
Denies All the Allegations in the Cow

St. Paul, March Answers have

being known as that against the
Paper Trust.

general answer made by the General
Paper company and it's tWenty-three
co-defendants denies most of the al
legations made by the United States.
The twenty-three companies and the
general company admit however that
an agreement was reached in May
1900, under which the General Paper
company was appointed exclusive sales
agents for the other mills for a speci-
fed period. The contract was to the
effect that the General Paper company
should use its best efforts to keep the
various mills in the agreement sup

1t is denied. however, that the Gen.

All contracts for sales secured by the
General Paper company for any of
the mills signing the agreement were

of the individual mills concerned.

Paper company in Wisconsin or west
of the Mississippi river. The United

MINISTERIAL UNION HEARD.
Protest Against Defeat of
Anti-Sunday Ball Law.

The Topeka Ministerial union
adopted the following at the meeting
of the union on Monday:
A protest against the action of the
judiciary committee OF the house of
representatives of the legislature of
Kansas on the Sabbath question.
We protest against the action of the
above named committee of the present
legislature in session now, in voting
the request of the reform committee
of the Ministerial union of our city
down so that it cannot be brought up
as a bill before the present legislature
during its session.
We hold with the great Christian
statesmen of the past century that the
American Christian Sabbath lies at the
foundation of the free institutions and
is the back bone of our national pa
triotism. To prove this we will cite
what eminent men in the legal pro-
fession have said on this subject as it
regards the relation of the Sabbath
in the civic affairs of the nation.
Attorney General Bates of Lincoln's
cabinet said in a case on this subject:
IF the Sabbath laws are disregarded
and despised the laws of the protec-
ton of person and property will soon
be disregarded; therefore the enemy
of the Christian Sabbath is also the
enemy of the race.
Justice Mclean of the United States
supreme court said in another case on
the Sabbath: ''Where there is no
Christian Sabbath regarded free in
situations cannot permanently exist;
therefore the enemy of the Sabbath
is also the enemy of the race"
The eminent jurist Thomas Russell
of Boston said in q, case in reference
to the Sabbath: Man needs a day of
rest and worship. His constitution re-
quires it one day in seven. This re-
quires quietness in the business life of
the people. This is the foundation of
the American Sabbath, so that no con-
tract made and signed on that day is
legal and any money on it cannot be
collected; therefore the enemy of the
Sabbath is also the enemy of the law
and order in society
Blackstone wrote years ago:
corruption of morals follows the pro-
fanation of the Sabbath. The keeping
of the Sabbath is needed to imprint
on the minds of the masses that duty
toward God is needed to make them
law abiding citizens
Your committee believes that if the
Sabbath question were to be settled
by the people of Kansas as a whole it
shown by a majority of the judiciary
committee towards the respectful re-
quest of the Christian people of this
state for Sabbath legislation, and their
quick response to the law breaking
and sporting element of this city does
not in the least represent the moral
convictions of the people of this state
We therefore enter our protest against
the action of the judiciary committee
terably opposed to Sunday baseball,
theatres, etc.

BLOCK THE COAL MINE.
Atchison Has Trouble With Their
Men on Account OF Cages.

Atchison, Kan. March There is
more trouble with the workmen at the
coal mine. Nothing has been done
since Saturday noon, when the miners
refused to go to work because the
cages had not been equipped with
safety catches. superintendent Carr
has the catches on hand at the mine
but says they cannot be installed
while water is being hoisted in tanks,
for the reason that the catches would
be thrown into action by the cages
striking the water, thereby preventing
their being submerged. This would
stop operations entirely, as the water
must be raised. 1t is said the ma
jority of the men are willing to go on
without the safety catches until the
pump can be installed. but that
dozen or more are holding out. 1t is
understood that the head officer of the
miners union. who was here a. week
ago to hear a number of grievances,
told the miners that the only real
point they had was the safety catches,
but recommended, because of the
conditions existing in the shaft, to
wait until the pump was in operation
to demand them.

improved by lessees who intend to pur-
