Farmer. Unior Matters.

President Hightower, Of the Farm
ers' Union intimates that there will
be a general meeting of the county
leaders early next month, when a
number of matters will be discussed
and IAaced before them with the pur-
pose of bringing about the harmony
and uniformity in action in respect
to marketing warehousing and finan-
cling the cotton crop. Whether the
compulsory acreage proposition will
be a live question from a practical
standpoint at that time is specula-
tive only. depending on the views the
Executive should the matter be Sc
riously presented to him for action,
Mr.. Hightower is satisfied that the
plans for holding back the surplus
cotton and for the financing of the
crop by the combination with the
bank are fixed and practical, and con-
siders the outlook to be very bright.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENT OF
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Noxubee County First to Provide
For Establishing Agricultural
High School. Other Items of
General Interest.

That the educational spirit is on
the upgrade and the tendency OF the
people is TO give more thought to the
problems connected with the carry
ing on of public schools is demon
strated quite clearly, and perhaps
more fully, by the large attendance
at the State normals and the educa-
tlonal rallies which have been held
in the rural districts for the past few
weeks. State Superintendent j. N.
Powers has just returned to his head
quarters from a round of visits IN
south Mississippi, including his visit
to the interior of Jackson county. In
fact Mr.. Powers has been almost en-
tirely in the remote districts, which
he deems of more Importance than
the residential and commercial CEN
ter,.

Beauvoir Trustees Assembled.

The Board of Trustees of the Beau
roir Soldiers Home will assemble in
quarterly session on Friday, July 3,
for the consideration of a number of
regular routine matters. 1t is posi-
BILE that the Board will take action
in among which will probably be q
superintendent. The legislative COM
mittee, after visiting the Home and
making careful inquiry last Febru-
ary, intimated that the interests of
the Home might be subserved by a
change in the superintendent IS office,
the present incumbent having created
antagonisms among the inmates. The
matter was left open after the April
meeting Of the new Board and it is
not altogether probable that choice
will be reached at the forthcoming
meeting; if not then it will so over
until October.

Bench end Bar Roster.

Attorney General Fletcher is de-
voting his spare time to preparation
for getting up complete roster OF
the bench and bar of Mississippi, a
work that will be most valuable, and
which someone connected with the
courts should have done some time
ago. The last edition of the "Bench
and Bar of Mississippi" was COM
piled by the late Attorney General
Williams, which is out of date, there
having ben SO many changes since it
was issued, some five years ago, Gen
eral Fletcher does nat expect to COM
plete his compilation at one sitting,
but will devote spare moments to Sc
curing the data and the compilation
progress in the northern part Of the
State.

Convict Returns.

William Cox a few days ago made
his escape from. -the farm in COM
pany with fellow-convict by the
name of Young and went to the home
of his mother in Lawrence county,
where he has remained since, until
in@company with brother-in-law, he
started for Jackson. Uupon meeting
Governor Noel he identified himself,
and intimated that he had come for
for further orders, the Governor in
mating, of course that the only orders
that he could give him were to return
to the custody of the state prison au-
thorities. That he is mentally un-
balanced seems quite evident, and. in
fact, he has been treated by Surgeon
Mitchell at the State Insane Hospital
since he became State convict, re-
naming therein several months.

Mahatma is a Sanskrit word, ex-
plains the New York American, and
means the man who has retired from
the world and by means of long and
severe discipline has subdued the pas
sions and gained a reputation for
sanctity and knowledge. In India the
word is applied to certain Buddhist
saints. or teachers of supposed extra
ordinary business and wisdom. In
theosophy the Mahatma is one who
has reached perfection" in each OF
his ''three natures" the physical, in

sequence of this, is in state OF "di-

Death OF CLEVELAND
Former President Of the United
States Passes Away.
The news WAS UNEXPECTED
Despite Fact That He Had Been Ill For
Some Time--Only Democratic Presi-
dent Since the Civil War.

Princeton, N. J.-Grover Cleveland,
former president of the United States,
died here suddenly at his home West
land" Death was due to heart failure,
complicated with other diseases.
The following statement was given
cut by his physicians:
"Mr. Cleveland for many years had
suffered from repeated attacks of gas
tro-intestinal origin. Also he had long
standing organic disease Of the heart
and kidneys. Heart failure, compli
Gated with pulmonary thrombosis and
oedema, were the immediate cause OF
his death"

Ex-Pre.ident Grover Cleveland in 1908.

While Mr.. Cleveland had been Sc
riously i'll from time to time during
the past eighteen months the an
nouncement of his death was a sur
prise to the entire country.
Heroic steps were taken during his
illness to thwart the ravages Of the
disease with which he suffered but
each attack left him in more weak
ened condition and the end came at
$3.50 o'clock Wednesday morning,
June "a.
Mrs. Cleveland and three physicians
were at his bedside when the distin-
guished partent passed away. =
The three children were at the
Cleveland summer home at Tamworth,
New Hampshire, in charge of Mrs.
Perrine Mrs. Cleveland's mother.
ThS funeral took place Friday, June
26, at Westland, the Cleveland home
at Princeton, n. ].
Mr.. Cleveland was seventy-one
years old on March 1S last During
the past winter he kept close to his
home in Princeton until the approach
of his birthday, when he went to
Lakewood, with his family. He was a
trustee of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society of New York City, and
up to the time of his going to Lake
wood had attended to correspondence
in connection with his duties for that
society.
After he went to Lakewood, how
ever, he discontinued that work and 1t
soon developed that Mr.. Cleveland
was suffering from an attack of diges-
tive trouble, which he had experienced
many times before.
He was attended by DR.. Joseph D
Bryant, of New York City, and Dr.
George r. Lockwood. a. specialist in
stomach disorders, was called into
consultation. DR.. Bryant made fire.
quent visits to the distinguished pa
tient at Lakewood.
The fact that Mr.. Cleveland remain
ed at the Lakewood hotel after it had
long been closed to all other guests
and that for many weeks no attempt
was made TO take the former presi
dent to his home in Princeton, only a
short distance away, early made 1t evi.
dent that Mr.. Cleveland's condition
was regarded as very serious.
President Roosevelt, who had made
all arrangements to attend the Yale
Harvard boat races, upon learning OF
the former presidents death immedi
ately cancelled the engagement and
wired Mrs. Cleveland his coincidence
and Of his intentions to attend the fun
eral. The president then issued the
following proclamation:

Asia and the Golden Rule.

The western powers have insisted
on equality for all missionaries and
others who may go to China. Yet
they claim the right to bar all Orien-
tails at pleasure. This attitude, pre-
walls everywhere. 1t is illogical, un-
fair and opposed to international law
and comfy 1t is up to the western
nations to follow the golden rule in
their treatment of and attitude to-
ward Orientals. II they persist moth
ing but brute force can make their
position respected or respectable. And
If persisted in the inevitable war will
come. The theory of an interminable
conflict between the west and the
east savors of psssimism and the doc
trinaire. The inevitable increase in
intercourse between the nations will
cause them to be more tolerant and
they will grow to realize that there
Is room enough in the world for every
body and that war produces ills in
finitely greater than those designed
to be cured. ed.-Ex-Secretary Olney.
