MRS IC. LONGSTREET DEAD.
Passed Away on a Train Nearing st
louis,

Grenada was shocked on last Satur-
day TO receive the intelligence or the
sudden and tragic death OF Mrs. j. e.,
Longstreet who had died that morn
ing on a passenger train destined for
ST. Louis. Mrs. LOngstreet left here
about three weeks ago, the very PIC
ture of health, to visit her son and
daughter. Mr.. and Mrs. S. M. Cain,
at,El Paso. Texas. While there she
was taken seriously i'll and it was
found necessary to summon Judge
I,ongstreet to her bedside. Only a
short while after his arrival At El
paso il was decided that it would be
hest TO carry her to st. Louis Tor
treatment. Several times on the route
a phvsician was called to the train to
minister to her, but before the train
reached its destination her soul pass
cd TO the world beyond In the presence
of her devoted husband and in spite
of the loving ministration OF her
daughter. Acute indigestion is said
to have been the immediate cause or
her demise.
Her remains arrived here on the
noon train last Sunday and were met
at the depot by large number OF
sorrowing friends and relatives: The
funeral services were conducted from
All Saints church, of which she had
long been a member. by Rev. w. ..
Holmnes on last Monday morning after
which interment was had at Odd Eel
lows cemetery. The floral tributes
were beautiful and in profusion.
Mrs. Longstreet was daughter OF
Mr.. G. w. Ragsdale and was born and
reared in Grenada where she had a
number of devoted relatives and al
mi ring friends. She had lovaole
disposition and was peculiarly possess
ed of those habits and characteristics

that awful battlefield. it almost broke
my heart to be compelled to refuse
the last request of a dying soldier. /
! could give no light to that soul
struggling for help; for had no light
of my own. and l had not yet found
Fl i'm who is the light of the world.
Sadly and in tears was compelled
to say, 'Comrade, l can't pray for
you, you'll have to pray for Yourself ,
He looked sad and hopeless for a
moment. Then he closed his eyes and
began to move his lips in prayer.
l bent closer to catch his words. AS
l did so L heard this wonderful pray
er, the most touching and eloquent it
seems to me, had ever read:
" O God, hear mothers prayer; O.
God, answer mothers prayer.'
A moment after, look of sweet
est peace came over his face. He
opened his eyes once more, seeming
to thank me for staying by him, and
then closed them for the last time.
This was more than thirty years
ago and it seems as only an hour since
that dying boy helped me to find that
light by which christian mother
helped her boy along the dark path
way OF death into the light of hope"

GAVE SOME SOUND ADVICE TO HIS RACE
Says Negroes Must BeStir Themselves
to Get Rid of Lo1fing Element
Among TfcuI. The Negroes
Friends in the South.

Booker WASHINGTON delivered ar
address a few days ago before The
Afro American Council in New York
City, in which he gave the people OF
his race some excellent admonitions
and evinced proper conception of
racial conditions. Among other
things he said:
In this connection | repeat what |
have urged on a recent occasion, every
iota Of influence that we possess should
be used to get rid of the criminal and
loafing element Of cur people and to
make decent, law-abid!ng citizens.
ITO the members of my race who
reside in the Northern States let me
utter the caution that, in your en-
thuSaStic desire to be OF service to
your brethren in the South you do not
make their path more thorny by rash
and Incorporate utteranceS. Before
giving advice to the negro in the
South, the negro in the North should
be very sure that what he advises is
that which he himself would be will
ling to take into the heart OF the
South and put into practice. BE care
full not to assist in lighting a fire
which you will have no ability to put
out.
oSne may think that the prob
lens with which we are graphing will
be better solved by inducing millions
Of our people to leave the South for
residence i'm the North, but | warn
you that, instead Of this being d Solu-
tiOn, it will but add to the complica.
tionS of the problem.

prominence to the work OF the mob in

been passing. During the racial dis

The indiScriminate condemnation

dangerous policy. We must learn to
discriminate. We have strong friends |

To Be Observed at the James,
town Exposition.
ARRANGEMENTS PERFECTED TO THAT END
Six Hundred Thousand Dollar MOnu-
ment to Be Erected to Him-The
Great Things His Invention
Has Accomplished.

Norfolk, Va.-Believing that it j
especially appropriate that the nam
OF Robert Fulton should be hOnOred a
the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Elk
position to be held at Hampton Road
near Norfolk il 1907, the authOritie!
of that great celebration have decided
to set aside a day to be known a!
Robert Fulton Day. The New York
State commissioners have appointed
Hugh Gordon Miller, now Of New
York but formerly OF this state, a
representative to arrange with the
authorities for the special hOnOrs
which will be paid to the memory OF
Robert Fulton at the Exposition. He
will appoint such committees as may
be necessary.
A movement is now on foot in New
York City to have gigantic monu-
ment erected in some part Of the city
cOmmemOrating FultOn'S name. 1t
is proposed to build this memorial at
a cost Of more than 100000. 1t will
serve not only as monument to the
man who introduced steam navigation
but also as a tomb. Cornelius Van
derbilt is the president and Mark
Twain the first vice-prcsident of the
association which has been organized
to erect the monument.
Those at the head OF the movement
desire to raise the money necessary to
erect the monument by public sub
ScriptiOn and are making vigorous e;-
forts to pOpulariZe the movement.
The official name Of the organization
is the Fulton Monument Association
and has its headquarters in Park Row,
New York. A number of designs
have been submitted to the aSSocia-
tion for its approval. The one which
has SO far secured most approval from
the committee was submitted by the
sculptor Leopold BarcOny and shows
on it's base in baS-relief the industries
that have developed through the help
of steam navigation. 1t further SYM
bOliZeS the manner in which the
has brought together the
four corners Of the earth. The mOnu-
ment is SurmOunted by a statue of
Robert Fulton contemplating model
of his first steamboat, the Clermont.
1t is proposed to mount the statue on
q hollow shaft inside of which will be
a winding stair.
Among the famous persons associa-
ted in the project to honor Fulton are
the following people: John Jacob
Astor, Andrew Carnegie, Joseph II.
Choate, Melville e. Stone, George ].
Gould. Frederick Gallatin. Governor
Frank ". Higgins, Levi p. Morton,
Bishop David II. Greer, Mayor George
b. Mcclellan, General Frederick ID.
Grant and Nicholas Murray Butler.
1t is expected that the setting aside
Of a special day in honor of Fulton at
the jamestown Exposition will give
quite an impetus to the project for
monument.

The Races the Best Ever Had. Some

Premiums to be Pub
IiShed Next Week.

The Sth Annual Fair was held here
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday OF
this week. Owing to the recent dis
aStrOuS weather, which has cast a
gloom over the whole cotton country,
few entries were made outside of the
stock exhibits. These were good. The
exhibition of fine poultry was highly
creditable and showed that the breed
erS Of fine poultry in this section were
thoroughly alive to the Importance of
this growing industry. The exhibit
tiOn Of COWS and calves was great
tribute to the results of the Fair AS
Sociation and the inspiration it gave
to fine stock breeding. The races, as
is usually the case, were the main fea-
lures. They were the best ever seen
at the Fair grounds and were exciting
indeed. Some splendid time records
were made. The crowds were fully
up to expectations, the second day, as
in the past, furnishing the largest
number. The finances were all that
are necessary to meet current obliga-
tionS and the Association faces the
future in better shape than it has
ever been before.

It would be difficult to imagine how
funny Harry Myrick, editor of the
Milwaukee Free Press must have felt
after reading the vindication Of K. L..
Philips prepared by State Railroad
Commissioner j. w. Thomas in which
he states that Mr.. Philips did not re-
ceive any rebates on account OF the
Union Refrigerator Transit Co. He
no doubt felt about that time, that he
would like to be in one of the cars
with the thermometer about 90 degrees
below zero. But then, how must SEN
ator La Toilette have felt in view Of
the fact that last fall he singled out Mr..
Philips. in his stump speeches as T
.horrible example" as rebate receiv-
err, It looks very much as if both La
Toilette and Myrick might be justl y
accused of gross prevarication TO po-
litical purpose. Let the good work
continue and justice will eventually
reach the reformers coming out Of their
own camp,
