Alumni Organization.

Chancellor A. A. Kincannon,
of the University of Mississippi,
was here Eonday and at his sug-
gestion an alumni association
was organized among the former
students of the University. A
meeting was held in the Office OF
Clayton, Mitchell and Clayton
with number of old students of
the University present. c. P.
Long was elected chairman and
J. w. 7. Boggan secretary. The
Chancellor explained to those
present that a plan was on foot
to organize branches of the
alumni association Of the Univer-
sity all over the state and
through this means to keep alive
the interest and welfare of the
University wherever students
reside. A vigorous effort will
be made to induce young men to
attend their state university
rather than to leave the state and
become educated among stran-
gers.
The organization was made
permanent with Messrs. Long

Resolutions by Biloxi
Commercial Club.
To the Biloxi Commercial Club.

To the Biloxi Commercial Club.
Gentlemen: - Your committed
on legislation would respectfully
report and offer the following
resolutions:
Whereas, the state Of Missis
sippi is essentially an agricultur-
al state; and,
Whereas, the condition of the
public roads throughout the state
is as rule far inferior to what
1t should be; and,
Whereas, good roads that are
easily passable at all seasons of
the year. shorten the time, wear
and tear, and expense of the
farmer to reach the market,
makes the schools more acces-
sible. mail service more extend
ed and efficient, thereby increas-
ing the literacy of the people, at
the same time increasing the
value Of property ard encourag-
ing farm life and the making of
country homes on which the fu-
ture of the state depends; and,
Whereas, the states OF Illinois,
Virginia and Alabama have sue
cessfuliy used state convict labor
to construct public highways at
about one-half the cost of former
methods; and,
Whereas, the convict farms Of
the state of Mississippi are over
crowded; therefore,
Be it resolved, that it is the
opinion of this Commercial Club
that the surplus convict labor Of
the state should be used to build
public highways throughout the
state, said roads to be construct
ed in each county so as to afford
the greatest accommodation for
reaching the markets Of that
county, and with a view of con-
Meeting with the same class of
roads in adjoining counties; and.
Resolved, that Governor E. F.
Ncel be retitiored to investigate
The workings of state convicts on
public roads and to recommend
suce action to the legislature at

Splendid Showing
Made For the Year

The Tax Assessor, Mr.. w. r.
Gardner, has just completed the
Recapitulation Of the Tax Rolls
for the year and the same are
now on file with the Chancery
Clerk. Considering the condition
that has prevailed for the past
two years in financial circles, we
doubt if any county in the state
will make a better showing than
of Lee County.
The increase of the personally
is small, but that is due to the
fact that some of the larger
assessments were this year listed
as realty, whereas, the corpora
tions listing them have hereto
fore reported them as personally.
The personal roll shows an in
crease of S8, ,S32.43. while the
realty gain is $3.50, ,866. 90, making
a grand total of s239, ,698 43 gain
for the year.
The people Of the county have
listed their property well as a
whole and the increase of the
realty values would indicate that
they have an abiding faith in the
value of their lands.
Mr.. Gardner, the Assessor,
devoted all of his time toggetting
up all taxable property and the
increase is due very largely to
his efforts to comyly with the
law in getting all propert, listed.

REMOVED FROM THE FORCE
Policeman Foran Received His Dis
missal From the Police Force

of the parties got to joshing him on
his condition and the policeman slap
ed one of the parties two or three
times, it is said. That person in
vited the policeman to take off his
star and step outside. The police
man did so and removed his over
coat, which contained his billy and
revolver. The policeman went out
side but changed his mind and went
back into the store. In the meantime
parties in the store took possession
of the overcoat, considering the po-
liceman was not in condition to han
die a gun.
Mayor Hitchcock Informed himself

action recorded above. The
mayor stated to The Republican that
he would consider it a favor if any
citizen would inform him of the mis-

ed that he had given the officer warn

duty. and that some such action was

Wesley SPEAKS ON FARM
South Dakota's Governor Says Cities
are Dependent on the Farms and
Speaks Of Farmers in the
Hall Of Fame.

Chicago, Nov. 19-Governor r. s..
Wesley of South Dakota delivered an
address on THE Call of the Farm, at
the National Farm Land Congress
here.
I'm the present age, while our. pop
~ulation is increasing. while our cities
are SO c%ongested, while our towns
are SO quickly developing into cities,
while immigration is so heavy and
the demand is so great, the call of
the farm is insistent and cannot be
gainsaid." he said.
"In the nrst place. we must ac-
knowledge the Importance of tho
american farmer, for he certainly is
one of the most important factors in
this epoch of our history. His mind
money, muscles and machinery
are having more effect on the world
to-day than ever before. His wealth
is almost Incredible, for be it known,
the proceeds of one American harvest
would buy the kingdom Of Belgium,
aE-s.
while five harvests would purchase
vast and mighty Russia.
Next. the farm is and always has
been the basis upon which our Unit
ed States was builded. Practically
every active industry depends upon
the farm-every wooden mill looks
to the farm for its wool and every
cotton mill is dependent upon some
farmer for its cotton. We can have
nc sugar without the sugar beet and
cane, no foar mills without the
farmers wheat, and no stock industry
without the farmers cattle. And so
pass along the line and find the
products Of the farm always in evil
dence. /

maries is not fully decided, but in an
interview he indicates his position on.
present Issues in a manner that cam
not be misunderstood. Visited by a
committee which sounded him as to
his views and the possible candidacy
he said:
II am willing to become a candidate
for congress provided no more worthy
party worker is available or suitable
under present conditions. I am op-
posed to all that Aldrichism or Can
nonism stands for and feel that SEN
ator A. b. Cummins, of Iowa, sound
ed the keynote Of the situation in his
remarks before the Marquette club
of Chicago on Saturday evening. Re-
garding the candidacy for congress,
l firmly believe it is a position in
which the office should seek the man
and not the man seek the Office. and
further. that the man chosen for the
Office should represent the people of
the whole state, and that that which
benefits the state should be para
mount with him. I favor a revision
of the rules of the House so as to
make It's deliberations representative,
SO as to permit a representative from
South Dakota the right to express
himself on all questions without in
curing the disfavor of accredited
leaders. So far as the currency ques-
ton is concerned, l believe it one re-
quiring careful study. So far as 1
am now prepared to state 1t is my
opinion Senator Cummins sounded
the proper sentiment. If a central
bank is beneficial to the interests of
the country. it is all right. but IL 1t
means placing arbitrary power in the
hands of a few, it is something to
be guarded against"
Mr.. Shrader has served the state
in both house and senate in the legis-
lature. has been a member of the
state board of regents, and has been
a power in building up the School Of
Mines, which is located near this
city. Four years ago he vas sought
by the stalwarts Of the Hills, who
were out of harmony with MI. Martin

Itional interests in the Black Hills
