Come South, Young Men.

For several days there was in
session at Galveston, Tex, a con-
vention of people who had immi.
grated from Northern States and
settled in Texas. In addition to
the settlers themselves, there were
numerous visitors from Northern
States, attracted by the peculiar
character OF the convention.
| Among the visitors who addressed
the convention was Mr.. J. II.
Hunter, a banker and stockman
from Springfield, Ill. In the
course OF his address, after ex-
pressing his attachment to his State,
he said:
''We have surplus Of popula-
ton in Illinois. Some 45 or so per
cent of our land has gone into the
hands OF renters. Because of
the high price of land our poor
young men have no hope Of ac-
curing l60 acres. Many have moved
into our towns aud become clerks,
etc. They have abandoned hope
of acquiring land. What should
have been DINE? They should
have been sent here to Louisiana
and Texas and shown your wonder
ful resources. Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa all have q large class OF
,nen Of this character who should
be led here.'
Here is presented striking view
Of state Of things which ought to
be rebound not to the benefit of the
young men Of the overcrowded
Northern States, but also to the
development of our own States.
We want white population Of the
right sort, and there can be nothing
better than these young men from
the Northern States. Here they
can buy land OF the best quality at
low rates. and here oil the natural
conditions are in their favor.
The Northern farmers who have
come 10 Louisiana are prosperlng
as fruit and truck growers and rice
planters. There are no mytslies
to be learned in these matters, no
apprenticeship to be served. Lou
islana wants two millions more Of
white :mcn. Mississippi needs as
many millions more, and there is
room in Texas for ten million
people. Let the young men from
the North come on. Here are all
needed opportunities to enable in
sober and thrifty men |
to acquire early prosperity. Plcay-
une.

The oldest mule in Mississippi IS
the property of a negro farmer
named I. J. jefferson, who lives
in Copiah county, and the darkey
is inordinately proud Of the vener-
able possession.
The mule in question Is thirty-six
years of age, and was born during
President Grants administration.
The old darkey bought the animal
in 1871 from a planter named Will
liam Flowers, and has been its son.
tinuous owner ever since, not even
being compelled to plaster her
with an occasional mortgage. Her
name is Maud and she was two
: ears old when Jefferson became
her owner. Since that time he has
made "a crops with this animal,
and she is still hale, hearty and
frisky and bids tair to live for at
least another decade. The passage
of years is plainly marked IN
Maud's coloring however, for in
early girlhood she was dark and
beautiful sorrell, and now her COM
plexlon is strawberry roam, while
her head is almost as white as that
of her venerable master, who cher.
ishes for her a most ardent .affec-
ticn. Jefferson has frequently de-
clared that he wouldn't swap Maud
for pair of the finest mules in
Mississippi.

The Car Nav Abdicate.

st. Petersburg, May 31.-General
Linevitch wires the cZar that the news
of Rojestvensky's defeat has become
generally known among the troops,
and that the army is on the verge of a
revolt. A call for a c%onvocation OF a
representative assembly ls expected
within t%wenty-four hours. The grand
dukes, generals and ministers have
been called for a conference with the
car at Tsarskoe Sep palace tdnignt.
Russian patriotism is rising in a great
wave of indignation al the present
regime of grand dukes, to whom is at,
tributed this climax of disasters. On
all sides cries for a change of admin.
istration are heard. The car is no
longer considered. People do not con
slider him personally responsible, but.
for the sake of the country, they would
put him aside. Even Souvorine, editor
of the Novoe Vrema, demands that the
people take the helm of state in their
hands. The newspaper is controlled
by the Grand Duke Alexieff, and de.
mands a change of regime that will
bring peace. Rumors everywhere are
that the 2 will abdicate.

lacerated fingers on the left hand, sus-
tanned at II o'clock yesterday fore

the room. passing dangerously near a
couple of other children. 1t was found

was quite restless and feverish last
night, but Mr.. Wallace stated today
that he thought there would be little
trouble, except that possibly one or
both the injured digits would have
to be amputated. SO badly lacerated
was the skin and muscles by the burst
ing shells.

been able to examine the wound and
apply some dressing, told how the &C.
