The Situation is Now Well In

This Expected to Give Growers Needed
Relief Some Alarm Over To-day's
Prospects But Outlook Is
More Cheerful.

Paris, june 24.--A profound sense Of
relief peryaded the French capital SAT-
urday night at the check to the out
break in the south, which is described
by ex,Premier Riot as the worst inter
nal crisis in France in the past 81
years. The government now apparently
il satisfied that it has the situation well
ia hand, and that the overwhelming
forces of troops garrisoning the whole
area etfectually will prevent a rerud-
escence of the armed revolt against the
central power Such a mobilization Of
military forces has not previously been
witnessed in the life Of the third rcpub.
lie. All the towns and the majority Of
the villages in the two disturbed de-
partments are armed camps.
The Chamber of Deputies at Paris
passed as whole All the clauses of the
wine frauds bill previously adopted
separately, thus enabling the govern
ment to put the measure into immediate
effect, and remove the principal grien-
ances of he wine-growers and, finally
the bishops in the disturbed area ex-
horted the people to avoid any. further
violence. The dinner which wayto have
been given the French chambers Of COM
merce tomorrow in honor Of Sir Wilfred
Laurier, the Canadian premier, w S.
Fielding, the Canadian minister Of f.

of a sporting dog. II has screw" tail,
a smooth tongue, its limbs are short and

Tha Vaaetahln Garden.

(Se4~A The Vegetable Garden.
= Size is, and always must be, a de-
sirable quality In vegetables, but when
1t is obtained at the expense OF sue
culence, flavor and other good points
then striving after It becomes dis
tinct loss instead of a gain, remarks
Gardening. One Of the commonest
vegetables is, of course the cabbage.
and II IS the rule in almost every gar
den to grow large heads and let them
develop into great, white, hard mon
strosities as big as a football. What a
difference there Is between the favor
OF these and nice little green cabbage
Just beginning to turn yellowish white
at the heart a great many people do
not know because they have never
tried the latter. For storing away In
winter and for turning into all kinds
Of prepared cabbage the white hard
heads are all right, but any one who
has a garden aud knows the tender
green cabbage as it-should be will not
be likely to let the cabbages all grow
that way.
Beet root, again, Is never so good as
when the roots are about two or three
inches In diameter. and the large tough
roots obtained by sowing early on
heavily MANFRED soil are ct only for
cattle feeding. A few rows Of beets
sown now will produce excellent roots
either for use IN late summer and au-
tumn or for keeping through the win
ter, and these are far better in color
and flavor than large, coarse roots.

that Railroad Commissioner X. l.. Brad,

General Passenger Agent John Scott, of
the Illinois Central system, in reply to
his recent demand that an Improvement
be made in the passenger train equip
ment on the Eazoo-Delta branch and the
Jackson-Clarksdale division of the Y. q

Mr.. Scott states that supt. W. S. King,
Of the Y. a. NJ. V. system, has bad this
matter up with the head officials at Chi
cago and an Improvement la equipment
will be shown in a very short while a;
that the passenger coaches are being
given thorough overhauling and re-
novating in the Chicago shops, being
withdrawn from time to time for this
purpose, as business will permit,
but on account of the large amount OF
labor involved the progress has been
somewhat slow, and all branches of the
mechanical department are severely
overtaSed. Mr.. Scott concludes with
the request that the railroad commission
deal as patiently as possible with the
system, and guarantees that tho re-
quests set forth in Commissioner Brad

Yours very truly,
FIRED BEALL.

Greenwood, Miss, May @, 1907.
Editor Commonwealth:
BY way of answer to the above clip
ping from the Clarion-Ledger, would
state that the Richard Montjoy men
TONED therein was brother OF our es-
teemed citizen, Gid. Montjoy, sr., who
holds an Office in the city government Of
this place, and has resided in or near
Greenwood ever since the war. In 1854
they resided in Greenwood. When the
war between the states came on, Rich
ard, whose middle name Is Paul, and his
brother, Gid, joined the Confederate
army; the former joined the 9Th Louis
lana Regiment, and went to Virginia,
was wounded In battle and sent TO the
hospital near Richmond. The Yankees
made raid on the town, but Richard
Paul Montioy, who was then sergeant,
and by reason Of his wounds had not
been able to rejoin his command, on
hearing that the Yankees we're coming,
gathered together all Of the GONZALES
cents and gave to each Of them two
guns, and then had them conceal them
selves till the enemy approached closely
when they fired their two guns apiece,
with the result that they killed and cap
tured most of the enemy and drove the
others back. Richard Paul Montjoy
then turned over TO the proper Confed-
erato authorities the prisoners and hors-
es which they had captured. For his
gallantry on this occasion the war de-
partnent promoted Sergeant Montjoy
to the rank Of captain, and gave him
permission to join any command that he
desired. He chose Mosby's cavalry, In
which he distinguished himself, and in
memory OF whom his surviving comrades
are now erecting monument at War
renton, Va.
His brother, Gid, Montjoy, ST., now OF
this place, was also daring soldier. He
was member Of Swett's battery. On
one occasion he was sick at Grenada, on
iurlough, and the Federals having taken
possession Of Grenada, Yankee colonel
rode up to headquarters and hitched his
fine horse to rack. Gid. Montjoy, see-
Ing 1t. stealthily crossed the street,
mounted the officers horse, and rode to
The Yallobusha river az fast m he could,
into which his steed plunged, and made
his escape, W. A. GILLESPIE.
