An Appeal for Funds.

Hon. Walter Clark, president of the
Mississippi division of the Southern
Cotton Association, has issued the fol-
lowing:
'To the People of Mississippi: Did
you contribute to the support of the
Cotton Association last year? If not,
why not? Do you know that it helped
you out? Are you now willing that it
shall go out of business for lack of
funds? We ask of you only the price
OF a small sample out of each bale you
make. Some of the other States have
paid their full share of the operating
expenses of the Cotton Association, and
if the people of Mississippi fail to come
forward, l see nothing but to disband.
This would be extremely mortifying to
many of us, after the brilliant lead of
last year.
IF we fail to get the necessary funds
by the annual meeting, Jan. 2, l shall
offer resolution to disband. This, l
think, would be extremely unfortunate.
If you do not want to disband, and wish
to keep up the organization, pay to
your county treasurer at once any sum
you wish to contribute. L hope you
will not only do this, but that you will
send good delegation to Jackson on
Jan. ?, and to the Birmingham conven-
tion on Jan. Ills
"By virtue of our cotton crop we
ought to be the richest and most pros
porous people on earth; yet the fact re-
mains, we are not.
"Please do not get discouraged be-
cause everything has not gone just
right. Do your duty and let your
neighbor alone, and l feel sure you will
be rewarded. Perseverance pays.
c II am daily receiving encouraging
letters enclosing checks from various
parts of the State, and all say that the
work should be continued. Do your
part now, and let us make the Cotton
Association what it ought to be-"

MISSISSIPPI NEWS
TEN-YEAR-oLD BOY
Blows Top Of His Aunt's Head Of
at Blue Springs.

at Blue Springs.
His aunt dead, the back of her head
being shot almost entirely off and two
families plunged into unspeakable sor-
row is the result of the ten-year-old
son of w. N. Basden, of Blue Springs,
swapping, as he thought, an unloaded
gun at Mrs. Henry Greer's head. Mrs.
Greer was spending the night with her
brother, Mr.. Basden. 1t seems that
Mr.. Basden had been keeping his gun
in the house unloaded, and that his son
had been in the habit of playing with
it. The day previous he loaded the
gun to shoot hawk, and failed to ex-
tract the shell when replacing it. This
his son did not know, and thinking to
frighten his aunt, he picked up the gun,
pointed it at the back of her head and
pulled the trigger. The report brought
the other members of the family in,
who were horror stricken to find Mrs.
Creer's lifeless body upon the floor.
Mrs. Greer leaves husband and two
small children.

ORGANIZED SMUGGLING
Of Chinese Said to Be in Practice in
This Country.

Ell Paso, Texas.-That a thoroughly
organized band of smugglers for the
importation of Chinese into this coun-
try exists, amply supplied with funds
for the corruption of officials, was de-
veloped at the trial at Las Cruces today
of the twenty-eight Chinese who ap-
peared there concealed in box car
some days ago.
Today they offered to the official in
terpreter $1,000 if he would tell the
court story, which would entitle them
to remain in this country. They also
told him that the headquarters of the
syndicate engaged in the wholesale
smuggling of Cinnamon and forging of
certificates was in San francisco, and
had an immense amount OF money.
The court ordered them deported.

Unusual Pardon Petition.

A rather unusual pardon petition las
been received at the governors office in
behalf of Buster Thompson, convict
sent up from Winston county to serve
ten-year term for manslaughter. The
killing for which Thompson was con-
victed occurred in 1902, and he was in
Jail two years prior to his trial. After
conviction Thompson sought to have
his case appealed to the supreme court,
but, according to the pardon petition,
the court stenographer failed to tran
scribe the evidence, and afterwards left
the State, thus depriving him of the
right of appeal. Thompson was only
sixteen years of age at the time of the
killing, and claims that he was made
drunk at Christmas festival by older
men, and did not realize what he was
doing.

kind arrived from Bremen at the port
of Charleston, S. c., having on board
about AIS aliens destined to various
points in the State of South Carolina.

migrate to the United States by the
State of South Carolina, the State act
ing through the medium of its commits
sioner of agriculture, commerce and

time in August for the purpose OF in
ducing desirable immigrants to come TO
the State.
The passage money of the aliens Was
paid by the State from a fund. part OF
which was appropriated by the State
and the balance being contributed by
various cOrpOratiOnS and individuals.
