Democratic Committee Meets
Again August 9Th.

Six nominees for State Offices
were made by the State Demo
cratic Committee at Jackson,
the candidates having no opposi-
ton. BY a liberal use of p oxies
the meeting was organized. Mr..
Stirling, of Kinds, offered a res
olution declaring the following

Kincannon In Charge.

Prof. A. A. KIncannon has
formally assumed his new office
as Chancellor of the University
of Mississippi, taking the reins
of government from the hands
of Vice. Chancellor Aldreed Hume
who gladly retires to resume ac-
tive work as a member of the
faculty.
The transfer was accomplished
with quiet dignity and devoid OF
ostentation. DIR. Hume has ad-
ministered the affairs of the Uni
versity since the resignation OF
DR.. r. B. Fulton, wisely and well
and Hon. D. l.. Ross, the busi-
ness manager has kept the out
side affairs we'll in hand. The
new Chancellor finds all depart
ments of the big institution work
ing in perfect harmony and he
will be given cordial support.
A large volume of correspon-
dence shows that the outlook fol
the next university term is ex.
tionally bright.

Perfum;ng Cotton BolIs.

Further trustworthy informa-
ton from Coushatta, Louisiana,
confirms the earlier reports as to
the value of turpentine fumes in
driving the Mexican pests from
a cotton field. One application
of turpentine up and down the
cotton rows lasts ten days, and
but one gallon of turpentine is
used to every four acres. Four
applications of the pungent fluid,
would, therefore, cost but 60
cents an acre, and there is no
planter who would hesitate TO
save even a part of his crop at
that expense.
The solution used at Coushatta
consists of three parts of water
and one of turpentine. This COM
pound is placed in tub and it is
applied in the cotton rows by
means of an oat sack, which is
dipped in the tub and then
placed upon a pole, suspended
from the plow handles near the
beam. No expense attends the
distribution of the fluid other
than the cost of the turpentine,
for the pillow that keeps down
grass distributes the dripping
turpentine.
Paul Lisso, president of the
First National bank of Alexan-
dria, is interested in planting in
Coushatta, and he has direct in
formation from brother in Cou-
shatta to the effect that nearly
all the plantations near that town
have been treated to an applica-
ton of t1rpentine in the last fif-
teen days, and all the weevils
have departed from the neigh
borhood, leaving the bolls intact.
Their sensitive nostrils We're of
Tended, and they declined to dine
amid fumes of high-grade pene-
trative power.
Coushatta may have won fame
by the discovery of a simple and
easily applied remedy for over
coming the insects that came tc
us from the tropics. All eyes
are on Coushatta and the farmers
of that neighborhood propose tx
give the odiferous oatbag siren
uous test this season.

WAREHOUSE PLAN
The Farmers Onion is Getting
Together in Mississippi

Within tt past thirty days ar
ticIes of ircorportion for eight
cotton warehouse concerns back
ed by local branches of the Far
mers' Union have been filed for
record with the Secretary of
State, capits lized at figures vary
ing from So, 900 to $15, 900 each.
The build ng of warehouses is
now the most important work be-
ing carried by the Farmers
Union of Mississippi, and in a
half or dozen other counties COR
porations have been formed
whose charters will soon be pre-
sented for approval, and by the
opening of the cotton season it is
expected that the organization
will have about twenty ware
houses in operation. In nearly
every instance these warehouses
are backed exclusively by far
ners, the local merchants declin-
ing to have anything to do with
the enterprises, while the county
organizations are patronizing the
state business agency of the
Farmere' Union.
The state business agency re-
ports that it is now placing large
orders for bagging manufactured
from cotton to be used by the
farmers during the ginning sea-
son in lieu of the familiar jute
bagging, and it is expected that
thirty or more carloads will be
sold in the state during the au--
tumn months.

H0KE SMITH.
GeOrgia's Governor Shows DIP
Tax DOdging Railroads.

Atlanta, Ca, July 19 Cover
nor Hoke Smith in a special mes
sage to the legislature asks an
enactment to fix the value of cor
porate property within the state
as a basis for taxation. He calls
attention to the iAct that when
the valuation returned by tax
payer is not acceptable to the
comptroller, a plan of arbitration
is provided, but the arbitrators
under the present law are not
sworn and have not the power to
administer the oath to witnesses.
He calls attention TO the fact
that the Central of Georgia rail-
way and the Southern railway
have made returns on the valua-
ton of their tangible property
within the state, the former at
less than one-half the amount
which the county officials de-
clared on oath in a judicial hear
ing was its value, and the latter
at one-third such amount. He
urges that the taxation should be
on such valuation as these or
other corporations are allowed TO
maintain in a court of Law.
The Southern railway, he de-
clares, is resisting a valuation OF
S26, 100000 on its property in
Georgia, when an officer of the
road at a recent hearing in the
Federal courts, swore that the
pro operty Is worth not less than
4,150,000. The Southern re-
turned the property for taxation
at St4 1894, 923 in 1907.

OUTRAGEOUS
Verdict Gives Kidnappers
Life Sentence.
Mob CIamOrs For Blood OF
Lamana Boys Murderers.

New Orleans, July 1910 the
astonishment OF everybo iy the
jury in the case charging the
four Italian prisoners with the
the murder of little Walter Lama
ma did not sentence them to hang
but after deliberating only forty
five minutes brought in verdict
o. life imprisonment. The peo-
pie repudiate the prostitution Of
justice, and the organization of a
mob at Hahnsville begun at
once, Gov. Blanchard sent inn
mediately two companies of mill
tia to guard the prisoners.
The announcement of the mis-
carriage of justice caused the
widest excitement in New Or
leans. The newspapers had
scarcely posted the bulletins un-
til the mobs began clamoring
for the blood of the murderers,
and Lynch the Dagoes" was
heard from one end of the city to
the other. The streets swarmed
with thousands OF men. Excited
men mounted boxes barrels and
fire plugs and urged the people
to march on Hahnsville and
lynch the prisoners. One of the
mobs demanded a special train
ov or the Texas and Pacific aud
rendered the money to pay for
it. Another mob attempted TO
seize train but were thwarted
by the timely arrival OF troops.

Papers FAVOR Williams.

The ablest Democratic papers
in the country favor the election
of Williams among them the
Baltimore Sun, which says:
The old South is fast losing
its typical representation in the
Senate thro Ugh the death of
Senators who in long years of
faithful service did not fall be-
low the proper standard of integ-
rity, dignity and ability. So far
as it is possible, with changed
conditions, the South of today
ought to be represented in the
Senate by men of culture, of
political and economic knowledge,
of sound judgment, and all the
other qualities which make for
distinction. w h e n a man of
Senator McEnery's devotion to
his country, to his party, to his
State, makes the statement that
if Mr.. Williams will make his
home in Louisiana he will resign
his seat in his favor, it is i'm
possible not TO understand what
is in the mind of the Louisiana
Senator. He feels that the South
ought to be represented in the
Senate by men who in intellect
ual force and attainmentS, and
in the essentials of statesman
ship, will be able to hold their
own with Senators from every
part of the country. So far as
Gov. Vardaman's excellent per-
sonal qualities are concerned,
there is no reason to suggest a
comparison between him and
John Sharp Williams. But the
question which the Mississippi
Democrats ought to consider is,
whether the Senators from their
tate, while personally men of
high character. ought not also
to be men who will be at no dis
advantage in the Senate when
they challenge the leading men
in that body to test of ability.
Mr.. John Sharp Williams would
be able to hold his own, in all
probability, with the men who
are leading in the Senate. Is
there any reason to believe that
gov. Vardaman's intellectual
equipment would save him from
discontinue at the hands of
Lodge and other brilliant Repub-
licanS?
| Referring to the ability of Mr..
Williams, a recent editorial of
| the Washington Post says in part
| as follows:
/ Mr.. John Sharp Williams i:
one of the most attractive mer
I in public life, the leader of his
party in the American Congress
and a statesman of many an6
brilliant qualities
