Lieut.. General Alexander 2.
Stewart, the ranking officer Of
the Confederate Army died al
his home in Biloxi, Sunday morn
ing at the advanced age Of 81
years. The death of Gen. Ste.
wart was due to the infirmities OF
age and organic hear trouble
from which he had suffered fol-
some time. Gen. Stewart was
graduate of West Point Military
Academy and among his class
mates were Generals w. S. Rose
Grams, Earl Van Dorm, Pope
James Longstreet, and others
conspicuous on both sides. A
one time he was professor O.
mathematics at West Point an(
was the perceptor Of Gen, Stone
wall Jackson. Gen. Stewart was
the chancellor of the University
of Mississippi for more than ter
years and is we'll remembered BY
many Of the pupils Of the Uni

NOT A SUCCESS.

The dollar campaign fund is
not meeting with the success
that was expected. While the
amount is small and should ap-
peal to every democratic voter
the people generally take Dat
little interest in it. Like relig-
ion, too many people believe that
they ought to enjoy all the pol
tiles the country affords, without
cost to themselves. For instance
take the efforts of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal. For the
past month that widely circulat-
ed paper has done everything
possible through its columns to
collect funds by the dollar meth
cd for the Bryan campaign fund.
and it's work has been disappoint-
ing. The Commercial is widely
read and circulated throughout
Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkan-
sas, in fact it has a larger list of
readers in these three states than
any other paper. In Mississippi
there are more than 120, 600 dem
ocratic voters as shown by our
white primary of 1907; in Tenn.
there are $1,000 white democrtic
voters, and in Arkansas as many
as in Tenn, making OF 275, 900
voters in the three states where
the work of the Commercial Ap-
peal is directed. So far the c..
A. has been able to get from the
people the sum of $500. 90. All
of this has not been collected by
the dollar method but several
much larger subscriptions have
been sent in.
While we are glad to commend
the work of the committee in
every way yet, at the present
rate the committee will not get
anything like the money that is
needed to successfully conduct
the campaign unless better re.
suits are obtained by other meth
DDS than by appealingt to the indi-
vidual voter for his dollar contri.
button. Let the man who loves
the party and the principles it is
fighting for give all he wants
and if he comes down with his
$500, 900, take it to Offset the con-
tributions of the millionaire Of
the east.

Bryant is stronger in all sections
of the country than in either OF
his former races is growing ap-
parent and it is now evident that
he is considered in the running.
There seems to be but little in
terest manifested in Mr.. Taft's
candidacy SO far. A number OF
states are showing a strong dem
ocratic following and unless some
thing is done to stem the tide a
a number of the larger states will
be transferred from the republic
can to the democratic column.
The republicans will have the
present condition of business to
account for in the campaign and
cannot refer to the prosperity of
the country as the result OF re-
publican legislation as was the
case ia Mr.. Roosevelt's race four
years ago. The Independent
press that takes an impartial
view os the situation places Mr..

Justice, Work and Less Talk.

Arkansas is about to be Ere
formed. So says George w.
Donaghey, the governor elect of
that commonwealth. But there
are to be no sensational methods
about this reformation. On the
other hand, the reformation it.
selS is to consist in the elimina
ton of sensational methods as
applied to politics. The determin-
alton to hold the balance true be-
tween organized capital and the
public interest is not best ex-
pressed by sweeping and sensa
tional political agitation; the
whole subject of the proper rela-
ton which corporate wealth
should bear to the state is so diff
ficuIt and so complicated that on
ly through a cool and calm-blood-
ed consideration is it possible to
arrive at justice.
Agitation has its uses; the hon.
est agitator has it's function.
Without a certain amount of ag-
itation the people would go to
sleep entirely, they would snore
away their rights. But after
the agitator comes the .construc-
tor; the man who is to build upon
the ground which the agitator
has indicated-and soetimes clut,
tered up with all sorts Of debris.
And political agitation as a
means to political power has
been just a bit overworked in
the South, and the South is
ready now for an era Of leaders
who will point it to a middle
course-a course in which there
are fewer clap trap phrases and
political catch-words of what
ever sort thrown into the air
from either obstuctionists on the
one side or demagogs on the
| other. and a little more cold.

Cotton Bagging For Cotton Bales

The Farmers Union has at last
succeeded in securing a contract
for the manufacture of cotton
wrapping for cotton, the cotton
mills at Wesson, Mississippi,
having undertaken to furnish an
article that will satisfactorily
serve the purpose of bagging.
1t is announced that the mills
are now turning out the bagging
in seventy yard rolls and the
members of the Union are urged
to use it in wrapping this years
crop.
1t is to be hoped that this VEN
ture may prove to be a practical
success from every point Of view
in the matter of price as. we'll
quality of the material. Misgiv-
ings have been entertained in re-
gard to its practicability, on the
idea that the material could not
be made strong enough to with
stand the rough handling which
bales of cotton are subject to,
ard, further, that it must neces-
arily be too expensivea wrapping
material. If the scheme works
successfully, it will create a new
demand upon the cotton fields
for a grade of cotton the uses of
which are more or less limited,
and will act as a constant stimu-
lus to cotton prices generally.
Along the same lines are the
efforts being made to increase
the demands for cotton by bring
ing about a more universal use
of cotton bags and sacks by
wholesale and retail groceries of
all kinds, in the place of jute and
burlap sacks. A resolution
adopted by the Southern whole
sale grocers' association last
month at Ashville, North Caro-
lima. recommended that the
grocers of the south give prefer
ence to goods packed in cotton
and cotton sacks, and that man
ufacturers, packers, and deal
ers using jute and burlap and
other covering, use cotton when
eyer possible. The various flour
grits, and rice mills, sugar and
salt manufacturers, and fertili-
ger factories were furnished with
copies Of the resolution and ask
ed to cooperate in furthering the
use Of cotton bags and cotton
coverings for the products which
they respectfully put out.
The cotton-seed doubtless is
capable of supplying in a great
er variety of forms a greater va
riety Of things needed by man
in his living and in his business
than any other one thing can do.

Frankfort, Ky.-By announcing the
pardon Saturday of Caleb Powers and
James Howard Governor Wilson
closed the last chapter in one of the
most noted criminal cases in the his

over the United States have formally
expressed their interest by signing
petitions for pardon.
In the closing days of January. eight
years ago. while the contest of William
Goebel for the gubernatOrial seat oc-
cupied by Governor Taylor was being
held. Goebcl was shot, dying later from
his wound
The shot was believed to have come
from the half open window of the sec
rctary OF states office. and as Caleb
Powers was then filling that position
suspicion was at once directed toward
him and his arrest followed.
Four times has Powers been put on
trial for his life on the charge of com
plicity in the murder. the first three
trials resulting in conviction and sen
tcnce, death being the penalty in two
trials.
On the fourth trial. which came af-
ter the case had been carried to the
United States court. being finally ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court. which
sent II back to the state courts. the
jury disagreed and thereupon the ef.
forts for a pardon for Powers. as well
as for James Howard. who had been

Wilson says:

and order that he be forthwith released
from jail. My reason for granting a
