SNAP BEAN FAR NJ
TO BE MEMORIAL

Atlanta, February 2S.-"Snap bean
farm and the sign of the Wren's nest"
as the late Joel Chandler Harris styled
his home, is to be purchased by the
friends of Uncle Remus" and pre-
sented to the public as a memorial to
the distinguished writer. The ladies'
auxiliary of the Uncle Remus Memorial
association has undertaken to raise
funds for this purpose and already they
are meeting with much encouragement
in their work.
One room in the home will be fitted
up as library, and it is proposed that
this room shall contain a complete col
lection of the books and other writings
of Mr.. Harris; in another room will be
preserved many of the personal effects
of the author. On the front lawn will
be placed a memorial fount, orna-
mented with designs of the animal
friends of this great lover of nature
sind the adjacent grounds, where Mr.
Harris SO loved to entertain children
with his delightful stories, will be uti-
1zed as play ground.
Tho ladies' auxiliary has issued an
appeal to the children "of every Eng
lish speaking home" to contribute to
this fund, any amount from a penny to
10 cents, the ladies desiring that the
fund shall be secured, if possible from
the children who have found delight in
the writings of Uncle Remus.

SELF CONFESSED
MURDERER HELD
JOHN JUNklN is HURRIED TO
DIES MONIES FOR SAFE KEEP
No-MURDERED YOUNG WHITE
GIRL AT OTTUMWA.

Des Moines, Iowa, February 2S-John
Junkin, self-confessed negro slayer of
Clara ,Rosen at Ottumwa, was brought to
Des MONIES at clock this morning fro/
the county jail at Abba. The slayer was
locked up here for safe keeping as feel
ing runs high at Ottumwa, the scene of
five brutal murders of women by ne
groes.
Junkin, in confession here today, de-
clared he had deliberately planned to
commit the deed at Ottumwa while he
was still an inmate of the Madison peni-
tertiary, serving time for robbing and
beating a woman. 1t was his boast that
he would again "do the trick If given a
chance He boosted of his ability to as
sault defenseless women. This informa-
ton came in a letter from Albert Evans,
a Missouri negro, who was cellmate
with Junkin at Fort Madison.
''Junl1in is guilty Of the crime writes
the negro Evans. HE planned 1T While
still in the penitentiary, and when he left
l knew it was his intention to pull off
the stunt as soon as he had an oppor-

Evans statement is given more weight
on account of the fact that Junkin killed
Miss Rosen just a few days after he had
been liberated from prison

OF THE NEWS
FOR THE COMING WEEK

All other events of the week will be
overshadowed by the Inauguration at
Washington of William Howard Taft,
twenty-seventh President of the United
States. But while Mr.. Taft is the CEN
trail figure of imposing ceremonies on
Thursday, a considerable degree of unof-
fetal interest must follow on that day the
movements of two other men, who long
have challenged public attention and adj
miration. In the hour that President Taft
graces the ball that will bring the in
augural programme to a brilliant close,
Mr. Roosevelt relieved of the burdens
of state, will be surrounded by his neigh
bors of oyster Bay; and Mr.. Bryan, guest
of honor at dollar dinner in Pittsburg,
will reiterate, it Is believed. the convic-
lions upon which he contested the presi-
dency.
If permitted to follow the plans chosen,
Mr. Roosevelt will go to New York late
Thursday; thence to Oyster Bay. where
a homecoming demonstration has been
arranged that is likely to eclipse former
welcomes extended him, both as President
and citizen.
In the closing days of Congress, nothing
perhaps will be Of greater interest than
the action on Monday of the Senate COM
mittee on judiciary, which has agreed to
vote that day on the report of the sub
committee which investigated the merger
of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company with the United States Steel cor
poration. The majority report declares
illegal, and that the President was unau-
tho rized to permit such merger. The mi
nority report, in substance, finds that

tion of the lesser company by the greater

BIGGER AND BETTER CROPS

Jackson, Miss, February 2S.-(Special -
Commissioner of Agriculture Blakeslee and
Prof. J. c. Lloyd, superintendent of
farmers Institutes went over to Yazoo
City yesterday to organize the boys of
that county into Corn Clubs" That
county has never before taken any in
terest in this matter but it is stated that
the boys are now getting anxious, senti-
ment having been worked up through the
papers and otherwise. The same is for
tunately true of most other counties in
the state, and 1t is estimated that 5000
boys will join in this crusade for larger
crops of corn this year 1t is going to
work n revolution In corn production over
the state. The boys have discovered that
they can make three or four times the
amount of corn per acre their fathers
ever made, and they seem to be taking
a great deal of pleasure in doing so.
In Newton county last year the largest
yield credited to any one boy was 149
bushels per acre; the next largest yield
was 145 bushels. Yields of 125 to 100 BUSH
els per acre are now common and the
boy who does not get more than that
feels that he has not been doing his
duty and that he is small potatoes in the
way of a farmer.
The Mississippi Fair association has
done a great deal toward encouraging
the corn-growing spirit among the boys,
and this year has offered more and
larger premiums than ever before for the
best yields, the best bushel, the best
ten ears, etc.

Responding to a request from Gov. J.
V. Sanders of Louisiana, Gov E. F. Noel
of Mississippi has appointed a number
of prominent citizens, a majority of
whom are women, to attend the conven-
tion that is to meet in New Orleans
March % to 81, for the purpose of con-
sidering and recommending to the legis-
latures of the various states of the south
a uniform child labor law, as well as
other legislation looking to the better
ment of the condition of woman and child
labor over the south. The delegates are
as follows:
Mrs. r. L. McLaurin, vicksburg; Mrs
E. l.. Bailey, Oxford Mrs. Archie Cor
don, jackson; Mrs. Harriet B. Kells,
Jackson; Mrs. Nellie Nugent Somerville
Greenwich Mrs. d. N. Hebron Vicks-
burg; Mrs W. II. Price, Carrollton; Mrs
B. f. Small, Vicksburg! Mrs. Lily Will
kerson Thompson, Jackson; Mrs ]. p.

Clurg, Greenwood; Messrs. T. L. VAIN

ford; j. II. Ledyard, Tupelo Thad B.
Hampton, Magnolia; G. w. Pratt, Kos
ciusko; j. j. White, McComb City, Mr..
Ray of the Wesson Mills, Wesson.
These delegates are taken from among
the ranks of the men and women of the
state who have been most active in de-
handing or resisting child labor legisla-
ton. The men named are all cotton mill
managers or ownerss~ save G. r. High
tower, who is the president of the Farm
ers' union. In this way Mississippi will
be prepared to discuss the proposition
from both standpoints. The mill men
have always contended that the law
which denies the children of the poor
the right to labor in the cotton mills is
great hard ship on the widows of the
state, and resisted to the utmost the
increase in the minimum age as now es-
tablished.

the negro.
That DIR. Rowland will treat this SUBJ
ject in lucid, sane manner is not doubt

torian he has few equals In the United

possible in so short a time. Dr. Row

erary after that being left to circum-
stances.
The Louisiana Historical society, with
headquarters in New Orleans, has sent

dress them during the month of Nav,
and he has accepted, nothing giving him
more pleasure than to talk history with

The torpedo craft. around which clusters
SO much Of the romance of twentieth CEN
fury naval warfare, are a comparatively
recent invention, the initial craft Of this
type having been launched no more than
a third of a century ago. The British adj
miralty officials have the credit for having
produced the first little warrior Of the sea-
but their rival European nations We're
close behind them In the adoption Of the
new type of craft that promised SO much.
During the early part Of the torpedo
boats career none of the new examples Of
the shipbuilder'S art attained to more
than half the speed maintained with ease
by the better class of boats today. but the
records then made excited far more won
der in the engineering world than did the
recent performance of the Flusser. One
of the early torpedo boats for the lAmeri-
can navy was brought from abroad on the
deck of an Atlantic liner but Yankee ship
builders soon acquired the knack of build
ing this class of speed boats. Some of the
earlier torpedo boats built in this country
are now being used targets in the
practice of the North Atlantic battleship
fleet off the Virginia capes.
The plan on which the torpedo boat op-
crates is simplicity itself. The torpedo.
which in appearance is similar to steel
cigar. say. fourteen feet in length, is fired
from a tube on the deck of the torpedo
