noel and STAFF
TO PARTICIPATE

Jackson, Dec. Ex-Governor Noel
and several members of his military
staff left this morning for Vicksburg
to take part in the dedication of the
Indiana memorial in the National Mil
itary Park, erected in memory of the
troops from the Hoosier State who fell
during the memorable seige.
The dedication ceremony will take
place at IL a. M, and the governor
and his party will probably return to
the capital this evening. The three
military companies in Vicksburg have
been given formal sanction from the
adjutant generals office to take part
in the ceremony.
1t is not yet known whether Cover
nor Henley and the members of his
party from Indiana will visit Jack
son on their return trip, Governor
Noel will tender them an invitation
to do so, but if trip is made to Jack
son 1t will probably be very brief.

Farmers to Plant
Tobacco Next Year

One of the beneifcient results that
is expected to follow the campaign
for crop Investigation in Mississippi
will be the planting of a larger acre
age in tobacco during the coming crop
year.
That tobacco of standard grades can
be successfully grown in many coun-
ties of this state has been indisput-
ably shown, and progressive farmers
who have made. up their minds to
plant less cotton in 1909 will engaged
in tobacco culture experiments, not
on large scale, for the purpose of
whether this crop can be
grown and marketed with profit.
The sandy lands and pine ridges are
peculiarly adapted to the bright spe-
cies of tobacco, and, while few of the
farmers are thoroughly acquainted
with methods of cultivation, owing to
the fact that very little tobacco has
been grown in Mississippi since the
war, it will not take them long to get

GOSSIP OF
Prize ring
Hart and Schreck to Meet in
Mortal Combat at Lexington,
Ky, at Early Date.
Hearst News Service.


New York, Dec. 29.-The fight fans
of the Blue Grass region must be easy
marks if they fail for the frame-up
that has been fixed for Thursday eve
ming at Lexington, Ky. Marvin Hart
and Mike Schreck, those old heavy.
weight war horses, will furnish the
amusement. There is to be twenty
rounds of it, and it ought to be
screech.
Hart and Schreck once fought in
the concert hall of Madison Square
Garden, and pulled off about the big.
gest farce ever seen in the metropo-
lis. Neither man displayed as much
science or cleverness as would be
expected Of brawling washerwoman.
Hart and Schreck are about the big.
gest jokes in the pugilstic world. 1t
is likely that Bill Squires, the Aus.
tralian wonder" could lick both OF
them"
These are bad days for some of the
former stars of pugdom. Joe Cans
is being sued for $4,000 damages be-
cause he allowed his automobile to
run over woman in Baltimore.
Aurelio Herrera, the Mexican scrap
per who once cut some ice in the light
weight division, was recently accused
by his wife of having an affinity"
and Mrs. Herrera was granted a di.
vorce in Consequence. Aurelio now
lives in California. Some of the burn
ing epistles from his affinity were
read in court. and rendered the atmos.
phere so torrid that the windows had
to be opened.
The letters of the affinity were writ
ten from Boston. kid. | love YOU So
kid" she wrote. You was SO good TO
me and just happen to be dead stuck
on you"
Ten million kisses were conveyed
to the pugilist, and his signing cores
pendent told him she had said to her
friends, "There wasn't any girl who
would not love her kid"
Herrera now keeps a saloon in
Bakersfield, His wife testified he had
not contributed to her support for
more than year. She was granted a
divorce.
Recent discussions as to the recent
of various big fights has resulted in
the discovery that the largest gate
record in in American was that at
Goldfield when Cans defeated Bat.
Ting Nelson on foul after forty-odd
rounds, the amount reaching S69,715,
of which the fighters received $50, 800.
However, Nelson and Cans hold the
record only by narrow margin. for
the memorable fight between Jeff and
Tom Sharkey at Coney Island, which
the boilermaker won on a decision by
the late George Siler at the end of
twenty-five hard rounds, drew a gate
of $66300, of which the men got S36.
465 and Jefferies $21,S7O.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

Sooo cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole. re-
lance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher,
of Ripley, w. Va, says: 81 have
never used anything other than Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, for my chill
dren and it has always given good
satisfaction" This remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child as
to an adult. For sale by Hays &
Field and Yellow Pine Pharmacy.

A Memory Of
Pickett's Brigade.

1t was years after the war, and
some veterans of both sides were
exchanging "reminiscences at a
banquet given by the Board of
Trade of New York. 1t was pre-
sided over by the First President,
Colonel J. J. Philips, Colonel of
the Ninth Virginia Regiment,
Pickett's Division.
There is nothing else so terrify-
ing as a night attack" said Col
onel Philips. ''The imagination
works with intense activity in the
darkness, and even in peaceful
times adds infinitely to the fear OF
perils, real or fancied. How much
more are the horrors of warfare
increased when the opposing forces
are hidden from sight, when the
first announcement of hostile in
tention is the thunder of guns, the
crack of rifles, the flash through

horrors, but because of a peculiar
and sacred circumstance, almost
resulting in the compulsory DISC

it were, of a higher than earthly
command.
"The point Of attack had been
carefully selected, the awaited
dark night had arrived, and my
command was to fire when General
Pickett should signal the order.
There wass that indescribable
stillness-that weird, ominous 81

everything just before a fight.
1t was so thick you could cut it
with knife; so heavy it weighed
you down as if worlds were piled
upon you; so all-pervasive that it
filled creation for you. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
"Suddenly that awesome 81
lence was broken by the sound of
a deep, full voice rolling over the
black void like the pillows of
great sea, directly in line with our
guns. 1t was singing the old
hymn, Jesus Lover of My Soul

Vote For DisfrachiSement.

Next Wednesday The state election will be

There seems to be no futher doubt but that
the nomiaeps of the Democratic party will re-
ceive the solid vote of the party. Harmony
prevails, and the Democratic voters will go to
the polls with q united front and cast their
ballots for the nominees.
There are other important questions, however
to be settled in the approaching election. One
of the most CONSPICUOUS among these is the rati"
fcation of the constitutional amendment to dis
franchise the negro.
In addition to the qualifications now in force,
the voter must come under one of the following
heads:
l. He must have the rendered honorable
service in some one of the wars of the United
States or the state of Georgia.
2. Or he must be lawfully descended from
some person who has rendered such service.
3. Or he must be of good character and
understand the duties of citizenship under
republican form of government
4. Or he must possess certain amount of
education.
5. Or he must possess certain amount of
property.
There seems no futher doubt as to the merits
of this law, as it's trainers modelled it after the
best laws of similar kind in other states. 1t

will stand the constitutional test while it is
