MERIDIAN WORKING
 FOR MORNING PAPER
Enthusiastic Meeting of Business Men Was Held Last Night and Much
 of the Capital Subscribed.

Meridian, Miss. March 27.-(Special)- The supporters of the proposition to or ganlze a new morning newspaper for Me ridian met tonight in the Board of Trade and Cotton Exchange building for the purpose of taking definite steps toward completing the corporation, the capital stock being proposed at $25Oo0 of which amount A. D. Beard of Padueah, Ky, subseribes one-half.
 The proposition to start a new morning paper here has been live one for some time. and the demand was believed to have reached the stage when something definite could be materialized. The at tendance was made up of prominent mer- chants. business men, lawyers and citi- zens generally.
 The proposition is to publish a seven- day paper, carrying the full Associated Press service the equipment to consist of three tYpesetting machines. full assort- ment of necessary head letter and job type and a perfecting press. An active campaign was proposed for the surround ing territory, and plans were advanced to show that the schedules for the invasion of the outlying territory were such that no improvement could be desired.
 Notwithstanding the very indictment weather. the attendance at the meeting was enthusiastic and representative and resulted in the expressed determination to launch the project within sixty days. A strong committee of leading business men, K. Threefoot, Gus C. Kendall, s. A.. Witherspoon and Frank Hess was ap- pointed to secure the remainder of the capital stock less than one-fourth of the tCtal

Memory of Wheeler.

"'No one more completely eXemplified this sentiment than him in whose mem ory we meet today; couragemous re- sourceful and loyal to his cause in war; upright steadfast and incorruptible in time of peace, deeply beloved and revered, his memory will ever finger with us christening and refining influence as pure as the fragrance of a beautiful flower.
 q was honored in being present at the White House when the martyred President Mckinley appointed General Wheeler brigadier general of the regular army, and 1 saw there before me, two great men who, in the past, had been engaged on opposite sides in deadly combat who shad peace being restored. resumed the duties of citizenship, climbing the ladder or fame and, at a time of the nations con fict with a foreign foe, one as President and commander-in-ch chief was great enough to accept the services of his former an tagonist, and the other was great enough to lay his life and skill as a soldier upon the nations altar.
 q come therefore today to do that which my great kinsman would have been proud to do, were he living, to lay upon the casket of your friend and neigh bor, our comrade and the nations hero Gen. Joseph :, neeler, my humble tribute to his lasting memory as a citizen and a soldier of the nation"

PRESERVATION OF
 FIRST WHITE HOUSE
Alabama Women Still at Work
 to Preserve Historic House
SOME VALUABLE RELICS
Are Waiting to Be Transferred to a Permanent Place In the Old House Occupied By Pres
 ldent Davis.

Some of the most prominent women of Alabama have for many years worked for the preservation of the First White House of the Confederaey and their hopes and disappointments would make thrilling reading. Many valuable relics were procured by them and now rest in the State capitol at Montgomery, in what is known as the Jefferson Davis Room, awaiting a permanent place in this old home, to be placed just as they were in those critical days when Pres- dent Davis and his cabinet walked in and out beneath it's portals.
 Among the plans adopted by the White House Association for raising money for preserving this building are the White House souvenir spoons, a sample of which may be seen at Bromberg's jewell ry store in this city. The association has also procured the crepe-myrtle tress which grew at the window of Mir Davis study, and have fashioned souvenirs therefrom which they sell at some profit. These also can be procured both in this city and Montgomery.
 The ladies forming the First While House Association declare they will never rest until their State arises to it's duty and gives to posterity this beauti- full monument this object lesson of a glorious past.
 In view of their untlring efforts the committee read with pleasure recent communication to the Montgomery Ad- vertiser, which follows:
 w H. Howard, of Emporium. Pa. who spent few hours in Montgomery yes terday, was so impressed with the di lapidated condition of the old house on Lee street, where President Jefferson Davis of the Confederate States resided for a short while, that he sent B to the Advrtlser with a suggestion that the house ought to be preserved for the sen timental attachment which clusters about it.
 The letter of MT. Howard is as fol- lows:
 Montgomery Ala, March A. Editor the Advertiser:
 T am from Pennsylvania and being delayed here for some time owing to my train being late, l took a stroll around your city and was shown the old resi- dence of Hon. Jefferson Davis.
 'I can not understand why the peo- pie of the South and particularly those of Montgomery, should let this house go to ruin and to decay as 1t is doing. Why not start q movement for it's preserva- tion while the movement for 10000 people in Montgomery for 1910 is on?s
 'I incose you a contribution of 8 towards a fund for the restoration of this old home that ought to be sacred to the people of the South.
 Yours truly,
 "W.NH. HOWARD,
 Emporium. Pa The contribution of Mir Howard was forwarded to Mrs. c. A. Lanier, an of ficer of. the White House Association, whose purpose it is to purchase the old Davis home and remove 1t to the large vacant lot owned by the city adjacent to Oakwood cemetery.
 The property on Lee street Is entailed and it is said to be impossible to pur- chase 1t before several wears have passed

There are yet more lustrous occasions when warriors and people or the same lineage and land forget the hostile steps already trod on bloody ground, and having learned the law or brotherly fellowship, press forward to- gether to make their restored union a commonwealth indeed and their country grandeur in peace an example of true national greatness for all the world to follow.
