The Underwear Mill.

Operatives are being engaged and
all arrangements are being made for
the Columbus Underwear Mill TO re-
sumo operation on July l. Although
the mill has been idle for more than
a year, a competent care-taker has
been kept to look after the plant, and
the machinery is in perfect order.
w. H. Rowe Knitting Company, the
concern which has leased the mill.
and Mr.. Shaver, the machinist of the
company, were in the city last week
and made a thorough investigation of
the plant and found everything in
perfect condition. The company that
has leased the plant has been running
an underwear mill in Huntsville. Ala,
for a number of years, and its officers
are thoroughly familiar with the bus
mess in all it's details. They not only
thoroughly examined the plant, but
considered carefully the labor pros
poets and other local conditions be-
fore signing the lease, and are salts
fed that they can make a success of
the venture.
The Dispatch learns from relia-
BILE source that arrangements which
will result in the resumption of work
at another large manufacturing plant
that has been closed down for several
months are about to be perfected, and
it is probable that by the first of Sep
tember every mill and factory in Col
umbus will be running full time.

Plans for Federal Building.

Advices from Washington state
that plans are now being made for
the Federal buildings which are to
be erected in the various cities over
Mississippi, including the one which
is to be located in Columbus. Mr.. j.
NJ. McQuown, the owner of the prop
erty at the corner of College and
Sixth streets, which was selected by
the government as site for the local
Federal building, was seen by Dis
patch reporter yesterday, and stated
that the deal for the property had
not as yet been closed. Mr.. Buch-
anan, the assistant United States dis
trict attorney for this district, was in
the city several weeks ago for the
purpose of examining the title, and
took the matter under advisement,
stating to Mr.. McQuown that he
would hear from him later. As yet,
however, nothing has been heard.

The Same Officers Were Reelected
= by Aeclamation<-APpr a Ppronriation
of $4,000 to Mark Confed-
crate Graves i'm North.

The seventeenth annual reunion OF
the United Confederate Veterans is
now a matter of history. The reun-
ion was held in Richmond, around
which so many fond memories cling
and amidst historic scenes the heroes
who wore the gray met old comrades
of Wartime days and pledged anew
their love for the land for which they
fought SO brave1y.
On Saturday the report of the com
mittee on resolutions was submitted,
and was adopted without debate. The
report recommends that the speeches
of Gen. Stephen d. Lee, Senator Jno.
NJ. Daniel and Gen. Robert E. Lee be
printed in pamphlet form for distri-
button, and endorses the objects and
aims of the Arlington Confederate
monument in the Arlington National
Cemetery. The report favors the
preservation of all papers, manu-
scripts and historical sketches of the
the endowment of the Confederate
hospital in the~house formerly owned
by Generel "StonewalF' Jackson at
Lexington, Va. 1t suggests that the
centurial birthday of Gen. Robert E
Lee be celebrated by a permanent
memorial at Washington and Lee
University, the institution of which
he was formerly president. Thanks
are returned to. congress for return
ing the flags captured during the
civil war, and for the appropriation
of 100000 to mark the graves OF
Confederate soldiers who lie buried
on Northern soil.
Birmingham was selected as the
place for holding the next annual re-
union. Nashville and San Antonio
presented invitations, but the senti-
ment was overwhelmingly in favor
of the Alabama metropolis, and Bir-
mingham won on the first ballot by
a decisive vote.
All of the old officers were re-elect-
ed by acclamation. The general of
ficers of the organization are as fol
lows: Commander-in-Chie General
Stephen d. Lee, Columbus, Miss.
lieutenant general, department OF
Virginia, General C. Irvine Walker
South Carolina; lieutenant general
department of Tennessee, General
Clement A Evans, Georgia; lieuten-
ant general, Trans-Mississipp depart
ment, General w. L. Cabell, Texas.
Some of the local veterans who at
tended the reunion returned to the
city yesterday. Many, however, are
still in Richmond. and some will visit
historic Virginia battle grounds be-
fore returning home.

CROP CONDITION
WORST ON RECORD
GOVERNMENT ESTIMATE PLACES
THE PRESENT CONDITION
AT 20 O5, WHICH Is
EXTREMELY LOW.
Lowest Standing Previously Record
ed Was in 1908, When June.
Showing Was s4.O1-Ten
Year Average Is S4.O9.

The government estimate on the
June condition of the cotton crop was
received at the Office of Mr.. w. F.
Leigh yesterday, and gives the pres
ent condition, which is based on fig
ures received in Washington up to
May 25th, at 1905. This is the low
lest June condition on record. the
in 1903, when the report showed a
condition of 74.O1. The condition
last year was S4.06, with a ten year
June average of S4.09. From the
above figures it will be seen that the
crop prospects are exceedingly poor,
which fact is due to the unreasonable
weather which has prevailed through
out the cotton belt.
The report on the acreage planted
was also received yesterday. and
places the total acreage at 32,06O,-
600, against 2S,6S6, 900 last year.
Local cotton men, however, place lit
tie reliance in the acreage estimate,
as the government figures were too
low last year, and the consensus of
opinion as far as local brokers are
concerned, is that the figures this
year are too high by twenty-five mill
lion bales.
As a result of the receipt of the
two reports there was a furry in the
market, and prices declined about
forty points. Later in the day, how
ever, there was a reaction and the
loss was recovered, the market hav-
ing closed at practically at he same
figures as on the previous day. The
closing figures yesterday afternoon
were as follows: New York spots,
1890; October futures in New York.
11.76; New Orlenas spots, IL 9-16;
October futures in New Orleans,
1919. In the local market middling
was quoted at II 1s.

A telegram received from Oxford
the board of trustees of the State
University which was held there yes
terday, Hon. A. A. Kincannon was
elected chancellor of the university
to succeed Chancellor Fulton, who re-
signed last June.
The announcement OccaSioned lit
tie surprise here, as it was generally
understood that Professor Kincannon
would be elected. He was offered the
chancellorship last spring, but refus-
meeting the trustees increased both
the salary and powers of the Office, it
was generally understood that this
action was taken with view of in
ducing him to accept the position.
Mr.. Kincannon's election was unani-
nous, and after having been notified
of this fact he Immediately signifed
his acceptance.
For several days past it has been
generally conceded that Mr.. Kincan-
non WOulu De leHueTcu he CudHCeI-
lorship and that the tender would
be accepted. There has been a deal
of speculation as to who would sue
ceed him as president of the Indus
trial Institute and College, but it is
as yet too early to venture predic-
ton in this direction.
While the Columbus friends of
Mr.. Kincannon congratulate him on
his election, they sincerely regret his
departure from the l. l. and C. His
administration has been wonderfully
successful, and it will be extremely
difficult to find a man who can ac-
ceptably fill the position which he
is about to vacate.

rock shall fly from its firm base as
of these facts, but have said nothing
until Senator A. J. McLaurin attack
ed me yesterday by innuendo in a
Commercial Appeal interview, strik-
ing me over the shoulder of the
Vicksburg Herald. He knows the
Herald is supporting me, and for that
reason made the following statement
in the interview just mentioned, to-
wit: If the candidate belongs to the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad
Company, he is not only acceptable to
the Herald, but receives it's unstinted
encomiums. But il the candidate be-
lieves in equal rights for all, to use
its own language, it repudiates him.
The Herald needs no assistance from
me or any bnea else, but in refuting
this gratuitous and unfounded charge
the same that the clan is repeating
daily through the mouth of Brewer,
want to say right here that the Her
aid vigorously supported John Sharp
Williams in late congressional cam
paign against the McLaurin candi-
date, and John Sharp won out in a
handsome style. The Herald, in the
last gubernatoriaf campaign, WAS a
man against the McLaurin candidate,
and Jim Vardaman came out also
with flying colors. / am proud to be
supported by any paper that has
championed the cause of these two

SENATOR BEvERIDGE's COMMENT
Says Report of House Judiciary Com
mittee is Absurd.

Commenting on the report of the House
judiciary committee on the child labor DILL
Senator Beveridge, author of the Senate
child labor BILL said 1T is absurd as
matter of law. 1t deliberately ignores
decisions of the Supreme Court, like the
famous lottery decision; ignores the exist
ence of a dozen similar existing laws. such
as the meat law, food law. or the law pro-
hibiting interstate commerce in insects, and
numerous other similar laws: completely
ignores the fact that the power or Con-
gress over interstate commerce Is the same
as the power over foreign commerce, which
has been so held by the Supreme Court OF
the United States more than dozen timeS
ignores the existing law prohibiting the i'm
portation of convict-made goods. which the
Supreme Court says We have the right to
prohibit from interstate commerce. SO the
report of the committee from a legal point
of view is absurd and inexcusable.
But ii has a worse aspect. If reform
bills can be killed by referring them to
small committee of men, then there is an
end of the whole reform movement. Why
not let Congress vote on these measures?
This new scheme of creating a junior
supreme court within Congress itself. be-
hind which congressman and senators can
hide and keep from voting on reforms or
other measures. is the most dangerous de-
yelopment of recent years.
