SURVEYOR MILNER
 HURT IN RUNAWAY
WAGON TURNS OVER WHILE CON- 7 ING DOWN MOUNTAIN, PiNNlNG
 WELL KNOWN MAN UNDER THE
 BED.

In most peculiar and unfortunate run away Saturday afternoon County Survey or Milner happened to a serious accident. He was out on a surveying trip with a party of negro linenfen on the border of the county, and had started home to spend Sunday.
 The wagon was crowded when they reached Shades mountain, and in coming down this side both the hold-5ac straps broke. There was a very steep grade, and the wagon immediately ran into the horses launches, frightening him into a run.
 Down the hill he dashed at a terrific rate. Before half the distance was cov- cred the wagon struck rut, and so steep over, dumping the occupants out on the ground and pnning both the horse and Mir. Miner under the wagon bed.
 By miracle the negroes were not n- jured, and with their assistance Mir. Mil ner was brought to Birmingham, and car ried to his home on Twelfth avenue and Sixteenth street, south. There are two very painful gashes on the head, two broken ribs, and his whole body is badly torn as the wagon dragged him several feet The clothing was torn almost to shreds.
 The horse was unusually lucky, escap- ing with only few scratches. While on the toboggan slide. all the valuble sur veying tools were lost, and probably broken Searchers were sent out yester- day in the hope of recovering the scraps.
 MT. Milner is receiving the best of at tention and 1t is hoped that he may be out in a few days.

MOBILE OBSERV
 MEMORIAL DAY
EIGHTY-ElGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF ODD FELLOWSHIP IS CELEBRAT- ED. JAMES H. WEBB IS ORATOR OF THE DAY.

Mobile, April 28.-(Specia1)-The Con- postponed from Friday on account of the threatening weather, were carried out this afternoon at o'clock. The companies of Mobile battalion, United Confederate Veterans, Sons of Veterans and Daugh- ters of the Confederacy attended largely. The members of Battery A, Alabama State Artillery, fired the usual volleys during the distribution of wreaths upon the graves of the Confederate dead.
 The Very Rev G. c. Tucker of St. Johns church and Chaplain A. c. Harte of the First regiment offered prayers.
 The eigthy- eighth anniversary of the founding of Odd Fellowship was cele- brated by the local lodges of this city this afternoon at the Mobile theatre. The attendance was very large. A most i'm pressive programme was carried out. Solos were rendered by several of Mobiles best musicians, among them being Mrs. II. w. Leinkauf and Miss Mabel Heustis.
 James H. Webb, a member of the order and state solicitor of Mobile county, was the orator of the day. He made most impressive address, bordering on the or der its birth or foundation and origin Of the name. In part he said:
 We are told by the book of Genesis that Cain was the third man, therefore he was an Odd Fellow. Adam, the first man being clad in his scanty attire of fig leaves, had any of us seen him, we would most certainly have remarked he's an Odd Fellow"
 Mir Webb was listened to with marked attention for some time, and heartily con- graduated upon his efforts by the breth- ren persent, after he had finished his re- marks.

ants satisfied to have comfortable shell ter and a good living on the farm. Now he has only eight of his houses occupied, and they are all good comfortable homes, too. The negroes have drifted away to the cities, and to other work, and none can be found to take their places.
 White labor, of course, is scarcer in our state than the negro labor, ard the movement for immigration of white for elgners is not yet felt. From my ob- servation. and from the opinions of other Mississippians, I am little dubious about the proposition to supply the labor de- mand by immigration from Italy. We have a number of Italian farmers and farm laborers in the state and I can't say that they are desirable. They are clannish and do not readily adopt them selves to the conditions they find here, which are so different from their native land, and they do not make as good citi- zens as the natives of other countries as, for instance, the Germans, Swedes and Bohemians.
 "The problem is getting more serious all the time and there appears to be no immediate solution. This is having d far-reaching effect upon the crops of the state, particularly of the cotton crop, which is, of course, the principal crop.
 Mississippi would produce banner crop of cotton this year, but for the scarcity of labor. The cotton situation is optimis- tic for the farmer, as the great demand still exceeds the supply even with one of the biggest crops on record and the in- ducement for the farmer to plant all his available land In cotton is great, yet he cannot increase his acreage for it would be merely a waste of seed and cul- tivaton. Lack of field labor keeps the farmer from planting big crop, which is satisfactory in the end as he cannot ex- pect to have sufficient labor to gather his crop. Many a planter last year let cotton rot in the fields for they could not get pickers.
 "This years cotton crop will be af- fected by the late frosts which caused heavy damage across a strip little above the center of the state. Fields must be repapted in many counties and this will lead to the abandonment of thousands of acres, or of planting sSme other kind of crop.
 Cotton planters are we'll pleased with the present price of the staple and the belief is general tl:at the price will stay

 "All cotton goods are now at top price and I understand that all mills are sold ahead for fully six months. No mill will now accept orders for delivery under six months and the buyer, if he wants the goods at once, must scratch around and find a jobbing house with a stock on hand.
 Mississippi is coming to the front in spite of these drawbacks The state is growing richer each year and a fine field is open to the world for development What we want is capital and the right kind of immigration and we have no fears for the future"
