Death of James r. Mcdowell.

James r. Mcdowell, son OF
one of the pioneers in the history
OF Vicksburg, died Thursday al
the Samaritan at Holly Springs,
and was buried in the city ceme-
terry here yesterday.
His father, james r. Mellow
ell, settled in Vicksburg in 1929
and married Miss Mills Of Ken
lucky, who was here on visit
to her uncle, Judge Mills.
The father of the deceased was
merchant in business in Weeks
burg from 1929 until about 1855,
and was q prominent figure in
business and social circles.
He built the house at the corr
ner of Cherry and Crawford
streets at present the home Of
Hon. Mary Dabner, and lived
there for many years, and sub
sepuently sold it to the late DR..
Balf0ui.
James r. Mcdowell, the suo-
ject Of this notice, was born in
this house in March, 1910, and
lived in Vicksburg during the
early years Of his life, and in
fact until after the close of the
war. During the war he enlist
ed in Texas regiment and SER
we'd throughout the war.
His first wife was Il daughter |
Of the Rev. DR.. C.. K. Marshall.
She died many years ago. anu
some ten years ago he was again
married to Mrs. Amis, who WAS
a Miss Dancy.
Mr.. Mcdowell engaged in bus
mess here alter the close of the !
war ana was q member Of til"
firm or j. j. Cowan & Company, |
and after this firm went out Of .
business he moved to Madison |
parish, Louisiana, and engaged .
IN planting and mercantile Uusi-
ness there.
Some eight or ten years ago he
moved to Texarkana, Texas, for
the benefit of his health. and /
about one year ago his health ,
become seriously impair
ed, he went to Holly Springs,
where his father is now living,
and stayed there up to the time
Of bis death.
The deceased was we'll known
b many prominent men who
have now passed away, and he
always cherished the fondest
of Vicksburg, and
as before said, his dying wish
was that his remains should be
here and inferred in the
city cemetery where 80 many of
his friends had preceded him. -

When Dead Men Ate.

In the medical press is a story OF a
man who believed that he was dead
and who for that reason refused to
take any nourishment How can the
dead eat and drink" he asked when
food was pressed upon him. II was
obvious that unless something were
done to bring him to his senses the de-
fusion must soon become actuallty-he
would die of starvation. The strangest
ruse was tried. Half a dozen attend.

silently in single file into the room ad-

said the other. do dead men eatP'
ITO be sure they do, as you see for
yourself" was the answer. Well"
said the corpse, IF that Is SO, I'll Join
them, for I'm starving" The spell was
broken, and he sat down and ate like
forty furnished men.

Amendments Of the convention of
1899 regarding the laws and customs
Of land war. and the prohibition Of
throwing ofsexplosives from balloons
and the convention regarding the

NATION ALE WRONG,
y. DECLARES ROCKEFELLER
Says Roosevelt Administration is Destroying
Prosperity.

! Cleveland.-After his game Of golf,
few days ago, John d. Rockefeller
took another slap at "the Admins
tration," as he invariably styles
President Roosevelt. Curiously
enough, he said he regarded Secre-
tary Taft as sound and conservative
man, despite Mr.. Roosevelt's efforts
to nominate the Secretary Of War.
Rockefeller sees nothing ahead but
disaster to the business interests Of
the country es long as his oil trust
and kindred monopolies are pursued.
Here are some of the things said:
"The policy of the present Admin
lstrattpn toward great business COM
binations OF all kinds has only one
result It means disaster to the coun-
try, financial depression and financial
chaos.
"The country already has a fair
dose of this since the extreme penalty
impose on one corporation, with a
limited number of shareholders, has
caused q loss of confidence. reflected
In failing stock market, a tighten
ing Of money and fear Of the future.
What will be the effect when sim
liar action is taken against corpora
tons with sIayriads of stockholders
scattered throughout the country, the
investors, the widows, the orphans?
There can be but one answer The
present situation will be intensified
many fold. II, does not require an ex-
pert to, reason this out. The most
superficial thinker can do it. will
go further and say to-day that be-
cause of the Administration with its
reports every five minutes of new ac-
tions and of heavy fines, the country
is already beginning to drift toward
the rocks of financial depression.
Confidence is gone, and confidence
Is the basis OF all prosperity. With
confidence established there can be
no stopping Of the wheels of progress
Without it all is at standstill. The
investor, great and small, locks up
his money and refuses to venture
forth.
Requests are coming to me to-day
for money from quarters it was least
expected would be asking for money
some time ago. To-day was Of
fered the unprecedented interest of
seven per cent. for 81, ,000,99e or ST.
100000 or s3,o00,000. The security
was beyond all criticism. That would
be impossible in this country II there
was confidence enough to unlock the
money vault OF the country.
81 know that the railroads of the
United States to-day are unable -
borrow money for any length of time.
1t is really of no great moment
to me: Lam through with business.
LOSS or gain no longer affect me. I
/ am content as am to-day. I am IN
better health than ! have been for
many years. Il am happier than I
have been for twelve years or more.
Why are men making these offers to
me now? 1t is because of a lack of
confidence. Not lack of confidence
in the resources Of. the country, not
because there Is any danger Of foreign
entanglements, not because of crop
failures nor of the monetary policy,
5 nor OF any. social condition, but
lack of confdehce in this Administra-
ton" ~

ROCKEFELLER'S DAUGHTER
TELLS FAMILY HISTORY
Says John D.B Father is Alive snl ID
Good Health.

Chicago.-Much to the surprise of
her friends, Mrs. Harold Fowler Nc
Cormick, daughter of John D. Rookie
feller, consented to discuss family af-
fairs. She said she was led to do SO
by attacks on her father which had
imputed to him unworthy motives
with regard to the disappearance OF
William D., father Of John D. Rookie
feller.
"Is it true that your grandfather
Is alive?" was asked.
II have seen my grandfather on
many occasions" she replied. He
is one OF the most interesting men
I have ever known. l can emember
the fascinating tales he would tell
his children and grandchildren when
1 was very young. It is some years
since I have seen him. Because Of
asthma, from which he suffered, he
was frequently away from his wife
and children. These periods he
would spend in travel. lie sought
dry climates and for amusement
hunted and fished.
aRetween my father and grani-
father there has always existed the
respect and love that should prevail
between father and son. My grand
father watched with the kee1est in
terest the successes Of his son. My
father and the other children were
never happier than when their father
visited them
Mrs. Mccormick then explained
why she did not know the present
residence of her grandfather.
II hardly see just why my grand
fathers presence interests the pub
llc,n she said. II myself do not know
where he is," she said finally.
When asked whether 1t was not
strange that members Of his family
should be in ignorance Of his resi-
dence she replied:
"No, it Is not strange. According
to his own request his whereabouts
are kept secret. 1t Is matter which
is never discussed, even in the family
circle"
ais 1t true" she was asked, "that
John D. Rockefeller, because of his
methods in business or his treatment
of his father, is responsible for this
desire for seclusion?"
"No; that does not necessarily fol-
low" she said, "and 1t is not the case.
At least, 1t is a great eXaggeration Of
the truth" Mrs. Mccormick inti-
mated that her grandfather's health
was responsible in large degree for
his being out Of range Of the public
eye.
Financially, my grandfather needs
no assistance she said. 4If he
should wish my father to give him
Honey, I am sure he would get 1t.
I would not have said what I have
this afternoon had not felt that it
was time to make known the truth
about my father. I am quite sure he
will be somewhat put out about 1t,
but, then, he will know did it be-
cause love him.
Mrs. Mccormick would not say how
recently she had seen her grand
father, but asserted that the family
heard of him from time to time. She
ascribed much Of the present criticism
to her uncle. Frank Rockefeller.
