LARGE DELEGATION.

According to reports received by Maj
Gen. Robert Lowry, commander of the
Mississippi division, the attendance from
this state at the Richmond reunion will
be notably large, despite the long dis
tance the veterans must travel to reach
the reunion city. Mississippi furnished
large number of soldiers for the Army
of Northern Virginia, and many of the
survivors have not visited the Confed-
crate capitol since the surrender at Ap-
pomatox, and they win take advantage
of what will be the last opportunity
many will have to revisit the blody bat
tlefelds of '61- '65. Gen. Lowry expects
to arrange for special train to carry
the Mississippi delegation direct to Rich
mond without change of ears. The Rob
ert A. Smith camp, of this city, will
send about twenty of its members.

EFFORT TO GET

TRAINING SCHOOL.

Prof. Jee Cook, president of the Mis-
sissippi State Teachers Association, an
nounces that he has secured pledges from
five of the six candidates for governor
that, if elected, they will recommend the
establishment of State Normal and
Training School for teachers, with an
adequate legislative appropriation for its
support.
Prof. Cook issues an appeal to the can
didates for Legislature throughout the
state to pledge their support to this
cause, and also asks the teachers to take
up the subject personally with the can
didates and enlist their support. The
matter will be fully discussed at the an
nual convention of teachers in Gulfport
during the month of May. President
Cook sets forth the following concrete
reasons why the State Normal and Train
ing school should be established:
90 The people want good schools.
'Good schools cannot be had without
trained teachers. |
''Trained teachers cannot be obtained
unless Mississippi establishes school
for their training.
Persons who expect to become teach.
ers are anxious to secure this training be
fore they enter the work.
"The people have to pay for the train
ing of every teacher who is trained en-
tirely in the school room.
"When the teacher is trained entirely
in the school room the children help to
pay for the training g-not from thek
pockets, but from their life equipment.

GULFpoRT MAKES RECORD.

The Gulfport harbor established a new
record for lumber exports during the
month of March, the shipments amount
ing to 33,2s7 900 feet, board measure,
valued at $76l, ,055
The shipments for the first three
months of the present year amount 10
S9,291 900 feet, and if this average is
maintained during the remaining nine
months the total lumber exports for
1907 will be approximately 360,000,000
feet. Last year g record was 293, 125, 900
feet, as compared with 20T614,0 900 feet
for the previous year. 1t viii thus be
seen that the business OF the hartor is
increasing at rate of about 80 per
cent per annum.
In reality Gulfport's export business
is limited only by the capacity of the
harbor and loading facilities. More ves-
sells are applying for anchorage each
week than can find room in the basin.
During the month of March thirty-four
vessels cleared from the harbor, their
net registered tonnage in the aggregate
being 3S,13 tons. Five of the number
carried cargoes of more than 100000
feet each, and twelve of the number car
ried caroges considerably in excess Of
100000 feet. The vessels clearing were
Russian, British, German, American, Nor
wegian, Dutch and Italian and the bulk
of the shipments went to South America
ports, with a godly number Of cargoes
to Hay.na, Colon, Hamburg and Rotssr'
dam.
The harbor is now filed to the limit
with vessels taking on cargoes, and the
export trade is so heavy that it has been
necessary for the Ship Island road to
adopt stringent rules relative to requisi-
tions for cars to carry export shipments.
New rules regarding the unloading of
cars on the pier have also been adopt

MILITARY AFFAIRS.

Adjutant General Fridge is busy fig
uring as to. the time at which the Stats
encampment will be held, though the dare
is approximately fixed for above secon
week in August. 1t rs the purpose of the
officers to hold the encampment, if posi-
bic, between the first and second prima
ries, and as the first will be probably or
dered about the 7th of August, it is fig
ured that the will be plenty of time for
the time and the concluding primary. The
city of Columbus has secured the encamp-
ment, and the active business men of that
community will spare no effort to oe
ready for the event and to do the right
thing by the National Guard.
General Fridge reports that the in
vestigation and perfection of titles and
details preliminary to the transfer of the
ground for the state rifle range near the
city of Vicksburg is progressing slowly,
and this is partly due to the fact that
some of the parties interested in, the land
are nonresident, and difficult of access
In the meantime the practical details are
going ahead as fast as possible up to the
point of entering upon and preparing
the tract for rifle practice purposes, and
when once the legal transfer is effected
the finishing details will not require
much time or be attended with any leng-
thy delay. There will be opportunity be-
fore the National Rifle Association shoot,
which will be held in the fall, for the ea-
tending marksmen to get some helpful
practice at tht Vicksburg ranges, and
this will enable Mississippi to show bet
ter in the general averages than she has
been enabled to do heretofore.

Hon. Walter Clark of the Cotton As
sociation is giving to the people of Mis-
sissippi some wholesome advice these
days, and it is safe to follow the coun-
sci of this gentleman. He is man of
vast experience and does not say what
to do unless he knows that it is practi-
cable. With reference to diversifcation
he says: eff we would see prosperity
in Mississippi this fall, let US plant corn
and grasses abundantly and then all of
the cotton we can work and gather To
every farmer I would say, see that your
tenants plan and cultivate their gardens
well, and do not forget your own. This
policy will reduce very much your buy
ing bills. If you are buying feed a
few acres of sorghum broadcast, three
bushels to the acre, will give you sup
ply of green feed by the middle of May,
which will reduce your feed bill. "

borders valuable deposits of phosphate
rock which is largely used in the manu-
facture of fertilizers A recent visit OF
Land Commissioner Nall to the coast,
taken together with notice that appears
in the Manufacturers Record to the effect
that C. H. Wood of Moss Point would
develop phosphate properties discovered
on Greenwood Island, leaves the impress
sion that something has been found down
there, although it would come as some
thing of a surprise if the immediate
coast country was to develop phosphate
mines. There is likely good phosphate
in the state and it is to be hoped that the

fact.
