CONVENTION OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE
Commissioners Of Agriculture for
the Southern States to Meet in
Jackson.
Special TO The Mems

Special to The Mems
JACKSON, Miss, October 23.-The
convention of agricultural comission-
ers of the Southern states to be held
in Jackson from November 16 to IS,
inclusive, promises to be the most
successful gathering that has been held
since these officials perfected an or
ganization.
Because Of the fact that diversified
farming, the employment of more mod
ern methods of agriculture, and the
good roads movement have brought
about a general awakening of inter-
est among the people of the South,
which promises to be almost revolu-
tionary in its development, the con-
vention will be one of national inn
portance.
Plans for the gathering are in
charge of Commissioner H. E. Blakes-
lee, and during the past few days he
has received letters from the commits
sioners of other Southern states, all
saying that they will be in Jackson
without fail on the dates named.
The organization has extended a
cordial invitation to all persons VII.
are interested in the subjects to be
discussed, especially cotton growers,
live stock raisers, horticulturalists
dairymen, ETC., to be present and heal
the discussions. The program cover;
wide variety of topics, including
cotton growing, feedstuffs, live stock
dairying, etc., and it is expected tina
the agricultural commissioners o
several of the western states will &C
cept the invitations that have beef
rendered them to be present.

Contract for Much Coal.

Four railroads, according to The
Black Diamond" the official organ Of
the coal trade, have just closed con-
tracts for approximately 100000 tons
of coal for use during the entire year.
In and of itself this is probably not
important, because the coal would
have been used whether purchased on
contract or In the open market. The
significance attaching to the transac-
ton is that the railroads had been
holding off their purchases and appar-
emily only rushed to cover on the eve
Of what promises to be rising mar
ket.

ment on inspection day. The guns shone
and the brass accouterments OF the uni
forms were sparkling.
The other companies followed in quick
order. Although there are nine companies
in the school, there are but five 'faml-
lies" that is FIVE houses where the boys
live, and but one company from family
drilled. The program included seventeen
field movements and sixteen orders in the
manual of arms, and the boys executed
them all-each company averaging ABOUT
fourteen minutes.
When it was all over the companies
formed in column, and Maj. McCathran

Potomac Steamboat Company, and was
also largely interested in excursion traf-
fic, was the first to go, his death having
occurred in April. 1905. Capt. c. w. Rid
ley, who was for many years manager of
the old Washington Steamboat Company,
limited, and at the time of his death in
control of the Mount Vernon and Mar

reer of a man endowed by nature with
especial gifts for steamboat organization

The proudest boy in the National Train
ing School for Boys today Is William
Swainey, captain of Company, one OF
the companies that went through rat
thing competitive drill in the presence of
Attorney General Wickersham and a
small group of other interested officials
yesterday afternoon. Capt. SWainey
shares his pride in his lieutenant. John
Blair, and next in order comes Capt
Russell Smith of c Company, second
prize winner, and his lieutenant, Ben
Johnson, a full-blooded Indian boy from
Oklahoma. These young men will be re-
tanned to fame by having their names
put upon the two handsome pennants
that were presented to the winning COM
panies yesterday afternoon.
There has been a system of military
drill at the National Training School for
Boys for a long time, but it has been
only these past five weeks that the boys
have had real guns. Those who know
the boys, notably Supt. o. e. Darnall and
Assistant Supt Porter. have long con-
tended that the drill without guns is only
a milk-and-water substitute for the real
thing, and recently, through the interest
of Gen. Crozier, chief Of ordnance. the
nine companies have been supplied with
Springfield rifles minus firing pins.
During these five weeks the young SOL
diers have accomplished wonders They
have been working hard every day FOR
the great event yesterday, and to the
eyes OF the unmilitary spectators they
seemed to put up drill almost without
fault The three judges-Maj. w. A. Nc
Cathran, Capt. Henry Coope and Lieut..
G. r. Sherwood, all of the 1st Infantry,
D, c. N. G.-were loud in their praises,
and when these three experts say a good
word 1t may be taken high praise in
deed.
Done in Snappy Style.
All work was stopped at the school yes
terday for the drill. Promptly at o'clock
the captains stepped forward to choose
a number from the hat of Superintendent
Darnall, getting their position in the drill
by lot. The first company to drill came
out on the parade round with a snappy
look and went through the long list of
movements without A break, saluted and
