Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment,
and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent,

Jackson. Miss, November 17.-(Special)
Warden Henry has been instructed to as
semble all cotton from the convict farms
at Clarksdale at once and 1t will be sold
on the open market next week. Fifteen
hundred bales are ready and as much of
the long staple is expected to bring over
a hundred thousand dollars.
A movement in favor of Walter Clark.
head of the Mississippi division of the
Southern Cotton association. for national
president to succeed Harvie Jordan has
been naugurated here. In an interview
Governor Vardaman gives the suggestion
unqualified endorsement and says, HE is
pre-emmently fitted and quarifed for this
position" Mr.. Clrak is not a candidate,
however, having other business interests.

successful ventures ever handled in the
south. He has given all this service gra-
It's and is regarded as one of the most
unselfish public-spirted men among Ala
bama citizens. 1t is not known whether
he would allow himself to be considered
for the position or not. He has not ex-
pressed himself one way or the other.
There was some effort to have the next
meeting of the Cotton association held In
Montgomery, but the movement was not
attended by any enthusiasm. because OF
the fact that at the time 1t is called to
meet the legislature will be in session
and Montgomery would have difficulty in
taking care of the delegates
President Seymour of the Alabama d.
vision was satisfied with bringing the as
ISOLATION to Alabama. and did not interest
himself especially as to which town should
get it. There has been some talk of max
ing Mr.. Seymour president of the South
ern association. His success as head of
the Alabama division would fit him won
derfully for the executive duties.
On Small Things.
On what small things do important mat
tiers sometimes hang. This is illustrated
| by two instances which transpired in the
supreme court of the state this week.
In the case of John Williams. the con-
victed murderer of Robert L. Hipp, the
failure to have the court record inscribed
upon a certain kind of paper caused the
postponement of the case for two weeks.
In certain will litigation In Montgomery
county the refusal of the trial judge to
allow witness to testify to the up or
down curl of the final stroke of an "r''
caused the reversal of the case
The supreme court rules require that
petitions and other instruments like unto
those of the John Williams case shall be
upon certain kind of transcript paper.
When it came up to the time for the
hearing of the Williams matter last
Thursday it was discovered that this rule
had not been compiled with, although in
other respects the record seemed to be in
shape and properly presented AS a re-
suit the hearing was postponed.
In the will contest a witness swore that
in what purported to be the last will OF
the deceased the handwriting was not uni
form with what he knew to be the Chi
Biography of the deceased. He was led to
this conclusion by having had In his pos
session number of checks signed by the
dead man, and there was no uniformity in
the signatures.
One of the peculiarities of the check sig
nature which did not show on the will
was the curl of the letter "r" The court
allowed the witness to testify that this
curl was not the same on the two wills
presented, but excluded the question as to
whether or not 1t was the same on one
of the wills and checks which he had re-
ceved. Because of this exclusion the case
was remanded the supreme court at the
same time finding that no other error an
peared in the record
