Chief Of Artillery in Longstreet's Corps,
Araiy Of Northern Virginia.

In the Picayuf1e Of April 20 is chron-
icled the death Of Gen. E. P. Alexander,
which occurred at his home in Savanl
nah, Ga, on Thursday, April z8
The soldier, distinguished on many
bloody fields Of battle, was Brigadier
General in the Confederate Army, and
chief of artillery in Longstreets Corps
Of the Arm yof Northern Virginia.
Born in Georgia in May 1885, and
graduating in 1857 from the United
States Military Academy at West Point
into the Engineer Corps Of the Army,
and later after service on the Western
plains and in the territories on the Pa
cifc coast, he resigned his military po-
sition on the breaking out of i1ostilities
between the sections Of the Union and
offered his services to his native State.
He was appointed captain Of engineers
in The Confederate States Army ans vas
ordered to duty with the troops in Vir-
ginia
From the first dramatic battle at Ma
nassas. or Bull Run, where be die, serv-
ice IS an engineer and signal officer, an
til ne was ordered tos active artillery in
the field, commanding the artillery of
Lonestreet's Corps, General Alexander
was in the most noted of the Virginia
arrny's operations, including Chancel-
lorsville, Gettysburg, the wonderful Viii
derness campaign, N which Lee against
immense odds repeIled Grants repeated
assaults upen his lines and forced the
greatest Of the Union generals to aban-
don his attempted march on the Confed-
crate capital for an indirect approach
by siege which lasted a year
In all Of Lees splendid strategy,
backed up by desperate fighting, General
Alexander participated, and nearly forty
years after the close of that terrible
warfare.s when heated passions had
cooled and blind prejudice had given
place to sense and reason, the records OF
both sides being attainable, General
Alexander published volume, Mill
tary Memoirs of Confederate" in
which those campaigns are clamly and
professionally reviewed, constituting 9
most important commentary on some oi
the most remarkable military move
ments of the modern age.

REPLANT WITH CORN
Georgia Agricultural Commissioner Has
Optimistic View Of the Situation.

Atlanta, Ga, April 28. Every plant
er whose cotton has been injured should
replant in corn and not attempt to grow
a second stand of cotton said State
Commissioner Of Agriculture Hudson.
Mr.. Hudson was discussing the effect Of
this weeks cold wave on the cotton
crop, at least 50 per cent Of which had
been ruined. Cotton never grows well
where it has been killed BY the cold,' he
said Mr.. Hudson is inclined to take an
optimistic view of the situation in the
South What the planters have lost in
quantity will be counterbaianced BY the
increased price. of cotton which its
scarcity win cause and the South will
suffer little financially by the cold
wave, ne said.

CANDIDATE MURFF
His First Visit to Dodson-A Favorable
Impression.

The Dodson Times; Judge Murff Of
Shreveport, who is an avowed candidate
for Congress from this district, was
here a short while Tuesday for the pur-
pose OF. meeting tthe people of Dodson
and getting acquainted personally with
them. He had been to Winnheld and
decided to take advantage of the oppor-
ttinity of extending his trip to this place,
and had about two and half hours
here.
The judge says he is not out making
political speeches yet Or trying to ex-
tract promises from any one, but being
a stranger to the people of this section
he deemed it but fit and proper to stir
among the citizens of such localities
whenever an opportunity afforded.
When Congress has ended its present
session and Judge Watkins returns
home, Candidate Murf says that he will
pay Dodson another visit and win then
discuss the issues of the campaign in
tue 10TH.
This was Judge Murff's first visit to
Dodson, but many of our people in
formed him that while they had not met
hifn previously in person, they had
learned of his record as a Judge in
Shreveport, where his efforts to enforce
the prohibition law has been stubbornly
opposed by certain interests, but rigidly
enforced By him Just the same, The glad
hand was extended to him by our people
and many warm congratulations fen
Idered him on his record as a judge.
That Judge Murff made favorable inn
preston on those he came in contact
with while in our little town goes with
Iout saying.

TIE TRACTION COMPANY
1t Has Moved One Step in the Right
Direction.

A few days since the Traction Conn
pany moved on step in the right direc-
ton, for which it has received and is
being given full credit.
The midnight car service was one of
the stipulations or promises offered by
this company in the proposed extension
of franchises and other privileges.
The public viewed this proposition
with disfayor for the reason that as a
business proposition the company should
establish this service in response to the
peoples needs.
In all cities and towns of the first class
the midnight and the early morning car
service is esteemed a necessity.
However, this move of the company
in providing car service to midnight, be-
ginning today, will be appreciated by the
public
The next move should be in the grant
of general transfers as prevail in New
Orleans. The general transfer system
should be suggested strictly from bus
iness view. Instead of decreasing the
receipts Of the company would be in
creased through the system of transfers.
More people would ride and ride fire.
quently, that do not now use the cars,
if transfers were in vogue,
In all cities and towns of the first class
transfers, as are applied in New Orleans
are effective, and why not in Shreve-
port2 -
The Traction Company has much
more to gain by a system of general
transfers than in withholding such a
privilege and such a right from the peo-
pie. Whatever feeling or prejudice may
exist or be entertained against the COM
pany by reason of its past opposition to
such reasonable demands of the people
would be removed.
After all. while money and power are
potent, the good will of the public is
greater than all these

will of the people by a system of trans
fers such as prevailsii1 cities and towns

KERN NOMINATED.

The Democrats Of Indiana in conven-
tion held at indianapolis on Thursday
nominated John W. Kern for United
States Senator Tom Taggart was an
active aspirant but failed in this ambi-
ton. The endorsement of Kern will
lead to harmony in the party, whereas
with Taggart there would have been ir-
ritations and complications which would
have intensified the entanglements
threatened by the endorsement of Tag
CART. as was urged by his friends who
were in the minority. Taggart has joined
in the hearty support of Kern, one Of

WEATHER BULLETIN
FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
THE NEXT DISTURBANCE
Temperatures. Will Average Lower than
Usual and Rough Weather Will Be
the Rule with Principal Rains in the
Eastern Sections.

Copyrighted 1910 by w. T. Foster.9
Washington, April 3o.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
the continent May l to 5, warm warm
April 80 to May 4, cool wave May 8 to
7. This disturbance is expected to be
more radical than usual High temper
atures will be followed by great drop
and rains will occur, principally within
900 miles of Springfield, Ill, and east
ward from Columbus, Ohio, to the At
lantic Southern Florida and parts of
Canada wifi get moderate rains.
The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about May 5, cross Pacific
slope by close of 6, great central valleys
= TO 9, eastern states 10. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about May 8, great
central valleys 10, eastern states IL.
Temperatures of this disturbance will
average lower than usual and rough
weather will be the rule with principal
rains in eastern sections. Rough weather
may be expected on the Pacific slope
about May S, and the disturbance will
continue as rough storm across the
continent
The disturbance to be described in
next bulletin will cross the continent 10
to IS, and will be the most dangerous
storm of the month. Sailors have long
held to the belief that when the eclipse
node occurs severe. storms may be ex-
pected and that disturbing position of
the moon occurs Nays Let us watch
that date and Try to learn whether the
sailors know anything about weather
matters.
But. you should not be SO silly as to
adopt the methods of orthodox scientists
in determining this matter. They would
count it a failure If severe storms do not
occur at every place on earth These
severe storms can occur only at very
few places.
Wherever there may be disturbances
moving around the earth on May those
disturbances will greatly increase in
force. The lows Or storm cefters drift
around the earth about 5ooo miles apart
with highs or cool waves between them.
The Weather Bureau maps give the
locations of these drifting highs and
lows every day, and if you viii watch
them. from May 10 to "a YOU will see
that they greatly increase in intensity
and that will prove to you that the moon
does have large effect on weather feat
ures.
Probabilities are that the storm center
on May 8 will be in the great central
valleys and that il will grow more Sc
we're as ii drifts eastward A more dam
gerous storm period will occur near
May II when severe storms may be eS-
pected in eastern states, great central
valleys and on Pacific slope.

equal to the occasion. Lack OF
