Jackson, Nov. 3o.-There has been
little cotton picking in the state OF
Mississippi during the past week ow-

national holiday on Thursday.
That not excee ding 10 per cent OF

the value Of the unpiched crop.
which IS certain to show a decided
deterioration on account OF the heavy

The holding movement apparently
presents an unbroken front. and is be
ing rigidly adhered to in the principal
cotton growing communities, due to
the fact that many farmers could not
sell their cotton if they wanted to-

sensation was started here when II
was learned that John B. Eastland,
giving his home address as Meridian,
Miss, and a member of one of the
most aristocratic families OF the
state was arrested and placed in
Jail here for following his wife with
murderous intent. Mrs. Eastland is
a niece of former Governor Stone, of
Mississippi and during his term was
the reigning belle at Jackson and
one of the most toasted young
women in the state.
Several years ago she married
Evans Booman of Meridian, son OF
a distinguished Baptist minister who
was then a rising young man. The
marriage proved unhappy, and she Sc
cured divorce a year ago. lmmedi-
ately after she secured her divorce
she went to Iuka and there she met
Eastland After a short courtship
they were married and returned to
Meridian to make their future home.
The union seemed a very happy ore,
other than Eastland was always very
jealous. Several Gays his health gave

it her kin people at luke. where East
land followed her and created quite
4 sensation on a train where he was

AN ARKANSAS MINISTER
IS EXCOMMUN|CATED
ROASTS THE STATE GUARD
General Fridge to Refer Report
of Regular Army officer
To Legislature.
Morning Times Special.

Morning Times Special
Jackson, Miss. Nov. s3o-Adj. Gen
Arthur w. Fridge has decided TO
make the report OF Mai J. H. Gold
man L. s. 4. who recently inspect
ed the Mississippi National Guard, 4
portion of his biennial narrative sub
mitted to the legislature
Notwithstanding the fact that Mai
Goidnlan,s report is very severe
criticism of the military organization
in this state, Gen. Fridge believes
that the legislature is entitled to this
information for the defects complain
ed of have resulted chiefly from the
fact that the former legislatures have
been very niggardly in dealing with
the national guard, and it is onl J
thought on adequate appropriation
that the desired standard can be real
lied and the spirit d. corps main
tanned.
The Mississippi National Guard is
one Of the very strongest organiza-
tions in the United States whose mem
bers are not even equipped with dress
funiforms, it having ben found ncces-
sary to use good portion of the
clothing appropriated for its actual
support.
Other glaring defects due chiefly
to lack OF equipment, were pointed
out by Maj. Goldman. and if the leg
islators will make careful study OF
| the report Gen. Fridge feels THAI
/ more liberality will be shown.

Porter seemingly the aggressor. Ad-

arm and hip receiving bullet from
Porter's gun. Porter was shot twie,>.
both bullets entering his left side and
he died instantly.
A grudge OF long standing was
the cause of the trouble 1t is thought
that Adams cannot live through the
night.
