To Try Growing of Eastern Hard
woods in California.

The Pacific coast viii soon be the
scene of an interesting tree growing
experiment. The United States For
est Service is planning TO introduce
a number of the more important east
ern hardwoods into California, and
will this year experiment with chest
nut, hickory. Eastwood, red oak and
yellow poplar or tulip trees. Small
patches of these trees viii be planted
near the forest rangers cabins on the
National Forests, and if these do we'll
larger plantations on a commercial
scale will soon be established on
wider areas.
There are over 125 different species
of trees in California, a number of
which produce some of the most val
liable varieties of lumber in the coun-
try. Although considerably over one
half of the species are hardwood or
leaved trees, yet, with the exception
of the exotic eucalyptus, there is not
a single species of hardwood here
ranking in commercial Importance
with the leading hardwoods. Climatic
conditions in many parts of California
are undoubtedly favorable for the
growth of a number of the valuable
hardwoods, and the absence OF these
trees is due mostly to unfavorabl fac
tors of seed distribution.
If the experiments are successful, a
valuable asset Will have been added
To the forest resources of that State,
which should prove of special benefit
to the local furniture and vehicle in
dustries. Chestnut and red oak are
highly esteemed for furniture, while
with hickory, Eastwood and eucalip-
tus at its command, California should
lead all other States in the vehicle
industry.

Bishop c. b. Galloway Dead.

: At 3 O'Clock a. NJ. Wednesday,
the brilliant churchman and publ
cist, Bishop Charles 3. Galloway
breathed his last, at his home in
Jackson, Mississippi. This eminent
man began his ministry at the age
of 10 years, and exhibited such
marked gifts Of oratory, reasoning
and executive powers that he rapid
lily advanced in the calling until he
reached the pinnacle of bishopry.
In the Methodist church, he was
easily the foremost spirit of the
Southern branch, and exhibited
fearlessness in championing princi-
pies for the advancement of man
kind in the secular field, that won
him many caustic criticisms. So
well founded, however, were his
positions, and so we'll fortified were
they behind his matchless powers of
intellect, that the attacks strength
ened his contentious always, and
won victory for moral advancement
| for almost every cause he champion
ed. He was the chiefest advocate
Of the local option laws that accom-
plished so much for Mississippi,
and later, after these laws had blaz-
ed the way. was the potent influence
for state wide prohibition. If the
; life Of this great man had beer fruit
! full Of no other results than these,
he would be commemorated in the
hearts and homes Of his country
men as a benefactor. On other
| public questions affecting the aes-
thetic and civic affairs Of life-so-
sial, and educational, as we'll as
moral, his strong intellectual pow
| ers and indomitable energy were
exerted towards the elevating sid
Of the contention. The broadness
Of his views. especially on the ques-
ton of universal education with fair
ness towards all races and classes Of
mankind, marks his splendid efforts
| with unsellish endeavor.
| In the religious sphere, which he
graced and promoted, no church
man Of contempOraneous times was
| his superior. His fame in this call
| ing, as well as in other fields he
chose to occupy, was not gagged
| by the width of states, countries or
nations-it was world wide. In his
/ degth, the church has lost its bright
/ est intellectual luminary, and Miss
issippi the most fearless religious adj
vocate of secular principles that ele-
vate citizenship. The whole State, as
we'll as the nation, will mourn the
| loss Of so great an agency for good
and will go forward to the attain
ment If those ideals, which charac-
terized his life. and which set the
mark of emulation for others.

Judge Byrd, in his charge to the
grand jury of the Rankin county
court, instructed that body to indict
all well-to-do property owners who
failed to give their assessments in
honestly. If the grand iuries were
to do that in all counties, the ex-
pense of running the courts for long
er terms, which the multiplicity of
indictments found would require,
would more than overbalance the in
crease of revenue to the county.

The outlook for cotton crop, as
summarized by Mondays New Or
leans Times Democrat. is as follows.
The summary is made up from adj
vices received from correspondents
of that paper stationed all over the
cotton section:
The cotton crop starts on a nor
NAL basis, according to advices Of
Louisiana and Mississippi correspon-
dents. II is true that the first
stands were damaged in some sec
tons by the cold wave that ushered
in the month of May, and that re-
planting was made necessary. How
ever, fue weather succeeded this
brief period Of unfavorable tempera-
ture, and whatever check may have
been given has been more than made
up.
1t is manifest that the cotton acre
age will be materially reduced in a
great many sections, and that more
attention will be given to corn and
diversified crops.
Early reports Of the presence Of
the boil weevil are being received St.
Landry Parish finds that the pest /;
numerous, though there Is little OF
which the weevil may feed. Plauch-
Vile reports that a planter trapped
several of the insects.

Col. Fred q. Barry.


West Point, Miss, May S.-Col.
Fred G.. Barry died last night at
near the midnight hour after many
years of i'll health. Col. Barry was
one Of the most brilliant characters
among Mississippi's galaxy Of brill
liant men-a gallant knight of the
old regime. As boy soldier he dis
tinguished himself for bis daring
bravery. As lawyer he measured
the profession by the highest ethical
standard and was for years one of
the commonwealth foremost prac-
titiOners before the bar. In politics
he was for years referred to as the
silyer-tongued orator of the South, 3"
and in the SOS served in the United
States with marked distinction, and
ct the time of his death was serving
as state senator from Clay and Web
ster counties. AS citizen he was
one of those intrepid leaders who
blazed the trail that led the South
land out of the darkness and desola-
ton of the reconstruction period.
In fact the major portion of his life
was one of self sacrifice upon the
altar of friendship and patriotic du-
ty.
At 11:20 this morning the re-
mains accompanied by his daughter.
Mrs. DR.. Nisbett, party of veter-
ans and. friends and Rev. J. L.
Sykes. were taken to Aberdeen where
the funeral occurred at noon.
In paper read before the Mis-
sissippi Bar Association at West
Point last week, Associate Justice
r. B. Mayors of the Suprme court
presented some strong reasons why
the Mississi ppi Constitution should
undergo revision. His contention
was along the line touching civil
and criminal Jurisprudence and
law reform, and did not urge a
constitutional amendment to secure
more equitable representation
or better assessment laws. The
element of sectional selfiishness was
not discernible in his suggestions
as it was in those who led the fight
the last session of the legislature.
Doubles the effort to revise the
Constitution will lie renewed next
January, and the reasons for re-
vision. adduced by Justice Mayes,
will be used to advantage by those
favoring the change.

continuous strain, and the consequences
of such unreasonable haste and excite
ment are manifest in breakdowns and
nervous collapse. To counteract these
evil effects Of our business and social
life, those who have the means will
solute Quietude of which they will seek
to regain their exhausted energies.
The annual exodus into the country
is nothing else but such a going into a
retreat. But what good is the most
quiet spot to q man, who, like Thales
of old, carries with him all his trou-
bles, cares. anXieties, and whose rest
less spirit is to him a source of con-
slant irritation and excitement?
King David in our Psalm tells us of
a better retreat, saying: Rest in the
Lord and wait patiently for Him." Why
was his soul SO quiet and content? Be-
cause he had sought his souls recon

THE wicked" says Isaiah, ARE like
the troubled sea when it cannot rest
And st. Augustine, judging from his
own painful experience, says: 'The hui

restlessness will be removed and it will

Has not God Himself recognized the
necessity of such a retreat by setting
aside one day out of seven to give time
and occasion for seeking recreation for
the body and rest for the soul? Has
not the church recognized it by fixing
the Lenten season, which is a retreat
into the hottest of holes, full Of rest
and blessing to the soul? And does not
the state recognize it by eagerly watch

retreat in which even the poorest can
