jackson, Aug. 30.-If Governor
Noel fails to dispose Of the $780,
600 of state bonds left after sup
plying the demand from investors
in this state, while in the north,
he may arrange with the bankers
of this state to take the bonds and
ask the legislature, at its next ses-
sion, to relieve the banks Of taxa
ton on the investment.
The bonds are supposed to be
non-taxable, but if they should be
purchased by a bank, under the
existing law. the bonds would be
taxable as a part of the surplus OF
the bank, as it would be necessary
for the bank to use its surplus in
making such an investment.
The banks pay taxes on their
surplus and if this fund is invest
ed in non-taxable bonds the tax
on the surplus is still taxable as il
would not be reduced in the eyes
of the law by such investment.

NO STATE PROPERTY
FOR BILBO'S USE
GOV. NOEL MAKES STATEMENT
WILL NOT ALLOW PROPERTY OF STATE
TO Be USED AS PLACE FOR ylLLlFI-
CATION or ITS OFFICERS.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. %
That Gov. Noel does not believe
Mr.. Bilbo to be entitled to the
use of any state property in or
upon which TO take his stand for
the delivery of his speeches, is
indicated in the following state
ment, which he left with Private
Secretary Buck, to be given to
the press today:
AS Bilbo vilifies each of the
three departments of govern
ment, the Legislature, the
governor and the supreme court,
including the supreme Judge
whose appointment he indorsed
the day before it was made. it is
not right that the property OF
the state should be used as a
place for the vilification of those
entrusted by the people of the
state with its highest offices.
Especially is this true as to Bill
bo, who escaped impeachment
by but one vote, and was de-
nounced by that department OF
the government of which he is a
member, and with but one dis
senting vote, as an unfit asso-
ciate for decent people and as an
unworthy occupant of the office
he holds. Of course, this does
not prevent Bilbo's speaking in
jackson or elsewhere on proper
ty not in the custody of those
whom he vilifies.

Veterans Barbecue.

In accordance with their usual
custom, the Confederate Veterans
of the county will hold their an
nual barbecue at Lake Park on
the 7th of this month. An inno-
vation will be an invitation to the
Daughters of the Confederacy to
be their guests on this occasion.
In former years only veterans
have participated, and this change
in their program will no doubt be
enjoyed by many who will attend.
The committee on arrangements
will invite several prominent
speakers for the occasion and
there is every promise of an en-
ioyable time.

ALEXANDER SPEAKS
IN DESOTO COUNTY
SPEECH WAS WELL RECEIVED
CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATES SENATE
ADDRESSED LAR6E CROWD At HER.
AARDO TUESDAY

fernando. Miss. Aug. 30
Hon. c. ii. Alexander of Jack
son. candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Hon.
Leroy Percy, addressed the
voters of DeSoto county here
this afternoon. lie began his
speech at 2:3O O'Clock being
introduced by Hon Mial Wall,
an ex-member of the state
legislature and now county at
torney.
Mr.. Alexander lived up to his
reputation of being a fluent and
finished speaker and held the
undivided attention of the crowd
for two hours while he discussed
the great political issues of the
day. He was frequently APP
plauded and his conservative
views Of public questions seemed
to strike a responsive chord with
his hearers.
He discussed at some length
the encroaching powers of the
great corporate interests of the
country and promised. if elected
to the United States senate, to
bend every energy toward a
wiser and more just regulation
of corporations.
Mr.. Alexander promised not
to waste any time proclaiming
to the white people of Mississip-
pi that they are superior to ne
groes. He said: No man
brings to the negro question any
contribution of value who merely
borrows from others and repeats
the suggestion fol the repeal of
the fifteenth amendment, or who
proclaims with endless iteration
the white mans superiority and
the negro's inferlority truths
read and known of all men,"
His speech was well received
and he made many friends in
this county. On account Of the
fact that the date of his speak
ing here was made only two
days ago there was not as large
crowd present as there would
have been had lon ger notice
been given. He left on the af-
ternoon train for Coldwater,
where he will speak tomorrow.

The DULlAEY CASE.

jackson, Aug. 80. Whether or
not the case styled the State YER
sus L. c. Dulaney. as recorded
on the criminal docket book of the
first district of Kinds county, will
be tried within its originating
jurisdiction, will in all likelihood
be determined by the end OF the
week. The hearing of the motion
for a change of venue is TO be
taken up on Wednesday, which is
accompanied by the taking OF tes-
timony, and as the array OF wit
nesses subpoenaed is a long one,
numbering upwards Of 200, should
the case be built up on the testi-
mony alone, without argument, it
would mean that almost the entire
four days allotted to the case.
would be consumed in the examl-
nation of Witnesses. Both sides,
the defense and the state, are un-
derstood to have announced their
readiness for the hearing, and
there is quite naturally considera-
bic interest felt in the outcome.
Both sides have fortified them
selves with long string OF wit
nesses, and as the same men ap-
pear to have been subpoenaed by
both sides, which rather compli-
Gates the matter, the impression
prevails about the court house that
the matter will be decided by Sat-
urday for convening the Septem-
Der term for the second district at

Henry will make every effort to
expedite matters.

HIGH COTTON PRICE
FOR COMING SEASON
BULL LEADERS ADVISE FARMERS
BROWN, HAYnE AND SCALES BELIEVE
CROP WILL Be BETWEEN II 100000
AaD i2,OOO,OOO BALES.

Although today is commonly re-
garded as the opening of the cot
ton season, the staple does not
usually appear on the market
in quantities that count much be-
fore the middle or latter part OF
September. This crop is said to
be a little later than the average.
Several bales have already been
brought in, bringing the custom
airy premium for the first produc-
ers.
There seems no doubt that the
cotton crop this season is spotted.
Whole neighborhoods in the pral-
rie will, il is said, raise less cotton
even than last year, which was
distressingly short in this section.
Less than 10000 bales were then
marketed here, whereas the year
before recorded about 10000.
Whether this years production
will equal the latter is of course at
this stage conjectural. There are
farmers in this vicinity, notably
those of the sandylands, and some
too, of the prairie, who have
splendid showings thus far and
Judging by reports from all direc-
tions Columbus will have a pros
porous fall and winter.
AS regards the price for cotton,
encouraging news comes from the
bull leaders, w. P. Brown, Frank
Hayne and E. G. Scales, who have
recently run the market up to fig
ures not touched before since the
war. They predict 20 cents for
the new crop in the event the
growth does not exceed II 800, ,0G0,
and urge farmers not torush their
cotton to market. In a statement
published Tuesday they declare
/ that a crop Of 12, 100000 would be
given away if sold under Is cents.
And between these two totals it is
their opinion the crop will fall.
/ The statement also says that the
trade is lowering over the market
like a vulture, hoping the pro-
ducer will rush his cotton and sell
it, even if he can get only 13 cents.
Some of the cotton traders,
however, are already processing
to see in this gratuitous advice
from the bull leaders a yelled cal
for help-help to keep back the
avalanche until they themselves
can dispose of what they have or
hand.
Rearish traders, in support oi
this theory, point to pressure or
the market of Texas cotton, which
the extreme prices has brought
out, it is reported, III quantities
twice as large as We're expected
However this may be, the genera
opinion is that the world is read,
for all the cotton raised this year
and will have to pay good price
before the farmer is going to turl
it loose.

BEAUTIFUL RECITAL
TUESDAY EVENING
GIVEN BY MISS SCHOLAR
EACH AND EYERY NUMBER ON THE PRO-

in this country as well as abroad
she now ranks with the artists

grandeur of her voice is beyond
description Her wonderful eX-
preston, artistic technique and
charming personality electrified
and entranced those present
Tuesday evening. Mesdames
Schumann Heink, Nordica and
Sembrich have sung in the same
chapel recently and the opinion
of our best musical critics after
hearing Miss Scholar was that
she should have equal distinction.
Endowed with fine physique
as well as wonderful mental
strength, she is in every way
equipped for the work that she
has undertaken. Itisn' any Won
der that Columbians feel proud
when they refer to this prima
donna as Columbus girl.
Each and every number on
the program was a revelation to
the admiring audience. She re-
sponded cheerfully to the enthu-
siastie applause and sang several
familiar encores. Perhaps the
climax was reached when she
sang the Call of the Valkyrie'
by Wagner which thrilled the
audience with rapture up to the
realms of holier thought.

CLARK WILL JOIN
FOR UNION DEPOT
President of the Salt Lake Road
Awaits Action by Other
Railway Companies
MORE TRAINS TO BE ADDED
Officials Make Tour of Inspection
of Track Throughout Meadow
Valley Country

That the Salt Lake Railroad COM
pany stands ready at any time, pro-
vided suitable terms can be made, to
join with the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe in constructing q union sta
tion in Los Angeles, was the statement
made yesterday by William A. Clark,
president of the Salt Lake road, who
is here on a general inspection tour.
The Salt Lakes chief further stated
that, unless some satisfactory agree
ment is reached within short time.
the Salt Lake road will proceed to
build a station here of its own ac-
cord. The likelihood of a union station
being built here in the near future,
however, is slight, according to Mr..
Clark.
II do not think the other roads can
settle their disputes in regard to de-
tails of construction and location" he
said yesterday. FOR some little time
past there was great deal of talk
among railroad men about the pro-
posed station, but lately L have not
heard the subject mentioned. Seeming
ly the other two roads cannot get to-
gether on the proposition, and If they
do not soon the Salt Lake road will
Je compelled to build a new home for
cussion of the union depot plan.
"Our new depot will not be COM
menced Immediately, however. At the
present time the thing that is occupy
ing our time and minds Is to firmly re-
establish our connections between Los
Angeles and Salt Lake City. To Sc
cure this latter, contracts will be let
Monday for the construction of the
first thirty miles of new line eighty
miles long through Meadow valley,
where our recent washout occurred.
This new line will run along the side
of the valley and be from twelve to
forty feet above the highest mark the
water has ever been known to reach.
THE Salt Lake is also planning to
add two additional trains to its pres
ent service between here and Salt Lake
City about September 1. Those trains
will be of the same high class as the
Los Angeles Limited but, unlike this
latter train, will run only to Salt Lake
City, instead of through to Chicago.
They will be fast trains, making the
trip to Salt Lake City as rapidly as
the Limited does. With these two
changes and improvements made we
will then begin to figure on new de-
pot, if the union depot question is
still unsettled then"
Mr.. Clark was met in Salt Lake City
by his brother, J. Ross Clark, vice
r. e. Wells and General Traffic Man
ager F. A. Wann. The party made a
minute tour of inspection over the
company's lines. Especial attention
was given the Meadow valley portion
of the line, the special train proceed
ing slowly so that President Clark
might inspect every portion of the
ground.
Mr. Clark will remain here a few
days attending to business, which de-
mands his attention, and visiting rela-
tives and friends, and will then re-
turn to New York He is the guest of
his sister, Mrs. e. Abascal 523 Com

And the wintry winds do blow"
OF course, when yesta Victoria sang
this ditty at the Orpheum not long ago
she had no reference to the Loie Full
Ter ballet, which is now disporting it
self there, but nevertheless the verse
is exceedingly apropos of the expert
ence OF those eight little ballet girls.
And that's one reason why those same
girls are thoroughly in love with Los
Angeles-because it's always summer
time here.
you know, in the classic dance"
says Miss Leoni Bruno, one of the
cleverest of the English beauties, "one
cawn't dawnce these classic dawnces
unless one be clad in classic garb. Our
clothes are copied from garments worn
by the ancient Greeks, yknow. And
that's why they are 80 abbreviated"
"And that's why we like it here so
much, y'know" added Dorothy Har-
kus quickly "Do you know, we suf-
fered something dreadfully up north?
In Seattle we all had rheumatism, and
in San Francisco, with the cold,
drawfty stage it was awfully bad. But
here, the weather is so fine"
Don't you feel ther-er-immodest
in your flimsy garb?" she was asked.
"Why?" was her reply in all ear
nestness. "Its what the dawnce re-
quires; 1t Is strictly correct, and of
course we do 1t wholly for art. We
look upon the costume as much more
modest than tights; in fact, we would
be dreadfully shocked, yknow, If we
were awsked to put on tights. Why,
I have never worn tights in me life
and I hope I never will.
That's just the point" she was as
sured; "is the undraped leg offensive
as compared to the stimulation of ma
kedness?"
"I should say not" said Miss Bruno,
Ginning in. 1--WE have dawnced in
this garb before the late King Edward
and the queen mother and the royal
family and they surely would not have
permitted 1t had it been immodest, No,
indeed; we would not wear tights, they
are really shocking"
Certainly the girls are the picture of
health and seem to enjoy their dane
ing immensely. But they do tell tales
of the draughty stage at the Metro
politan opera house in New York last
However, they're pretty much forgot
ten now, and what with their riding,

sent a healthy appearance that many
