r. S. Hendricks, representative of
Rawlins county, now a resident of Ne
braska, has packed his grip and evacu-
ated. He was disguised with the pro-
ceedings Of the legislature, and mad at
the way the bank deposit guarantee
bill was being handled. Hendricks was
Democrat, and an active member of
the house.
There was a big fight on the bill
proposed by the committee on agricul-
ture to pay 10 cent bounty on goph
ers and moles. A lot of the members
said it would bankrupt their county
to pay such a bounty. Others insisted
that a man couldn't make so cents a
day catching gophers at 10 cents each.
The bill was finally passed by a vote
of GA to II.

omnibus the following bills to which
there was no opposition, the vote stand

their taking sugar from between a

confused and, being frail, are apt to
injure themselves by striking against
objects. 1t is of no use to try to
keep them in captivity unless possibly
it were in greenhouse, where there
were plenty of flowers, for no artificial
food ever has been found which will
nourish them. Yet even IN a green

a plantation in Wilkinson County,
about a mile from Woodville, where
the boyhood of Jefferson Davis was
passed
His schooling appears to have been
carefully looked after. When but z
he was sent to the academy of the
Dominican Friars in Kentucky, and
remained there three years. Then re-
turning to Mississippi he matriculated
at Jefferson College, which he appears
to have left at the close of the year
for the purpose of going to the new
Wilkinson County Academy, where he
had for a teacher John A. Shaw, of
Boston. under whose tutelage he made
much progress. In 1921, when entering
on his 17lh year, he went to Transyl-
vania University at Lexington, KY,
then considered the best institution of
learning west of the Alleghanies. In
July, 1924, Samuel Davis died; and the
| following Sep ember Jefferson was ap-
pointed cadet at West Point. Here
he came into intimate relationship
with Robert q. Lee, Albert Sidney
~ Anston and Joseph E. Johnston
three leaders OF the Lost Cause whom
he did much to recognize and promote
while serving as President of the Con-
federacy.
We are told that the President was
faithful to, persopcl friends. Some
times the .deyetJ{ was to the injury
of the public vice; but it was there,

in Which he displayed no remarkable
ALTITUDE for his studies, he was gradu-
lied No go in class of 23-which
| shows that as a cadet he ranked just
one point above Gen. Grant But the
effect of his schooling at the military
academy was visible in the man down
to the last day of his life. He was al
ways precise in his attitude, some
thing of a martinez, and decidedly
military in his bearing. Moreover, in

Washington, June 3.-Confederate
veterans and sons and daughters of
Confederates in the national capital
are today celebrating the centennial
anniversary of the birth of the South's
great leader, Jefferson Davis. 1t was
just 100 years ago today, on June 3,
1905, that the first, and last president
of the Southern .Confederacy was born
in Christian County, Kentucky, and his
admirers throughout the reunited ma
ton are today paying homage to his
memory. In Washington the exercises
were simple but impressive, and were
participated in by many men who wore
e blue in the warfare between the
NJ tn and the South.

JEFFERSON DAVIS Centennial
Is Being OBSERVED TODAY IN
EVERY SECTION Of THE SOUTH

VERY many ways he evidenced his great
love for his alma mater.
In 1853 he resigned his commission
in the United States army and eloped
with a daughter of Col. afterwards
PresidenD Zachary Taylor. In 1886
Betty Taylor Davis died, and Davis
after remaining a widower for eight
years married for his second wife Miss
Varina Howell, of Vicksburg, the
granddaughter of Gov. Howell, of New
Jersey-who had been Governor of
that state from 1894 to 1901, through
the concluding years of Washington's
administration and through the whole
of John Adams Gov Howell was a
staunch old Federalist, and Miss Var
ina at first found it difficult to under
stand how a gentleman and a Demo
crat could be united in the same per-
son. In the end Jefferson proved as
much of an aristocrat as even How
ell could desire.
The year 1874 proved noteworthy in
Davis life. Besides wedding Miss
Howell, he was chosen a presidential
elector on the Polk and Dallas ticket
and elected to congress. When he
reached Washington in 1916 he en-
tered into a coalition with the South
erners who acknowledged John c.
Calhoun as their prophet-and whose
particular representatives in the
house at that time were Richard Barn.
well Rhett, of South Carolina, and
William l.. Yancey. of Alabama. In
June, 1876, Jefferson Davis resigned
his seat in congress to accept the com.
mission of colonel of the First Missis-
sippi Rifles enlisted for the Mexican
War. Here he won distinctian and di-
vided with Gen. Zachary Taylor the
glories of his campaign. On his return
home Col Davis and the First Missis-
sippi Rifles were lionized from New
Orleans to Vicksburg, where they were
mustered out He was later chosen
United States senator. In October,
1858, Mr. Davis, who had been spend
ing some months in Portland, Maine,
set out for Washington. He was re-
ceived all along his route as leader
in national politics. In Boston he was
made guest of the city, and was in
vited to deliver an address in Faneuil
Hall. a Accepting this invitation he was
introduced by Caleb Gushing and Rob-
ert C. Winthrop and Edward Everett
were conspicuous among his auditors.
Ben Butler met him for his first time
and became his admirer and later
fought for his legions in Virginia and
Louisiana. Ben stuck to him in his
effort to make him the Democratic can
didate for President at Charleston in
1860, voting for the Mississippian 55
times.
In 1861 the war came. Senator Da-
Wis served notice on the country in
January of that year that the South
was in no mood to put up with injus-
tice at the hands of the Republican
party and this bore fruit in the seces-
sion of Mississippi, soon after fol-
lowed by several states, The inaugu-
ration of Lincoln only embittered the
controversy with the South and six
weeks after this began hostilities. The
rest is too familiar to need recounting,
but the impartial historian must give
credit to Davis for statemanliks quail
\ tiles, even though opposed to the
II Northerly side of the contention.
