DIR. THOs. ALEXANDER HARRISON.
DIR. Harrison was unsurpassed In at
tractive manners, handsome person and
intelligent conversation by any gen.
tleman who lived in the Canebrake. He
was ambitious and resourceful.
Born in 1916 in Charter City county,
Virginia, he entered upon tho stage of
life as a physician. Charleston, s. c.,
was then the social capital of the south.
On his visit there he met Miss Louisa
Collins of Edenton, n. c., and In due
time she became his wife.
In 1S43 he visited the canebrake In
search of plantation for sale. The re-
suit was the purchase of several ad-
Jacent tracts, consolidated by him In
the "Faunsdale" plantation. In the
winter of 1894 he sent out from
Edenton train of wagons with negro
slaves for the canebrake. He took his
bride to New York and thence over the
western rivers, via New Orleans. to
Mobile, up the Tom Bigbee to Demop-
oils and the plantation.
The young physician proved himself
to be an apt cotton planter. He made
and saved money. He often charged
himself with superstition, jocularly ex-
planning that after years of solicita-

sell to him tract of 240 acres adJoin-

DR.. Harrison read much and he spoke
fluently on the rostrum. On an occa

called on and among others addressed

planters were divided on the federal
questions of the day. This one was an

ST. MIcHAEL's PARISH.

Parish means here nothing more than
the territory inhabited by certain cotton
planters who associated as neighbors with
each other, and whose families in the
majority of cases attended the same
church, st. Michael's Episcopal church.
There was no post office in St. Michaels
parish, no trading place, great or small;
no shipping and receiving station, no sign
of active commerce except that In the
fall and winter months cotton wagons
heavily loaded, drawn by six splendid
mules. passed over the wide roads to De-
mopolis warehouses, whence the freight
went by steamer to Mobile. Nevertheless
the forest had been taken from the land,
except in patches too scantily left even
for safe fire wood use. From my fathers
front door the Cedar Grove" plantation,
a glass discovered the color of the cattle
on Mr. Glover's pastures, seven miles way
as the bee flies.
The lands of st. Michael's parish were
the most fertile in the canebrake, In so
large area. No available records show
when the parish was organized by the
Episcopal church. A cedar squared log
church was built on the Atwood" plan
tation land of Mr. Richard H. Adams in
the late eighteen-thirties perhaps In
course of 20 years church of gothic
architecture was built on land that be-
longed to the "Faunsdale" plantation

py local ventilation, as it is called, the
uust Is carried out by means of exhaust
rams. OF course, where the object of
the manufacturing processes is the pro-
ouctlon or dust iself, as in the case Of
nour and cement, methods of preventing
dusty substances from mixing with the
general atmosphere are governed by cpm-
merclal desire to eliminate the element
OF waste. AS pointed out in the report

There will always remain some occu.
pations where dust avoidance will be
practically impossible. The use of eff
c1ent respirators is to be insisted upon.
One very. simple precaution, however, is
to breath through the nose, and during
work at dusty processes there should he
as little conversation as possible. The
nose is peculiarly adapted by nature to
interpose effective obstacles against the
admission of particles injurious to the
air passages and lungs. The nose should,
therefore, be kept in a thoroughly healthy
condition and its cleansing morning and
night insisted upon, as equivalent in Inn

In its large aspect. all matters of this
kind involve the question of community
responsibility What is required today
is effective public sanitary supervision and
control of schools, factories, public con-
veyances, public works, highways and
public buildings Throughout the nation
there Is now vivid realization of the
economic value of human life and health.
In no field is the outlook for successful
work more hopeful than in that of dust
prevention as tie first successful step
toward the elimination, of an agency de-
cidedly harmful to human health and
life.
The control of the dust nuisance on
public highways must needs have its
effect on real estate values. which are
now in many localities, depressed be-
cause Of the diminished attraction of
country life. Enormous gums which are
now wasted on account of sickness will
become available for other purposes.
Those who now die in the midst of a
useful career will survive to old age.
Thus the dust problem, all comprehen.
sive and all inclusive, constitutes one OF
the greatest sanitary problems of the
present day. 49,

No Cause for Worry

Representative Cordell Hull of the
Fourth Tennessee district, likes to do
things to impress his constituents with
the idea that he is always trying to bene-
fit them. On one occasion he persuaded a
good roads enthusiast to travel with him
through his district and lecture on good
roads, of which there are few in that part
OF the state
You tell these people," said Hull, that
you'll show them how to build good roads
so that they can get their corn out to
market"
At the first meeting place the good
roads expert said to the constituents:
MY friends, I'm going to show you how
to build such roads that you can get your
corn out"
well, stranger" drawled one of the
Tennesseans, you needn't to worry.
Down here we raise a lot of corn. but we

cRowDER'S LAST SEASON.

The Cotton States will have to
look around for another president
ne1t year, as Mayor A. c. Crowdor,
who has guided the League through
this season, will not accept , re-
election. He took tho job this year
without compensation, furnishing
his own stsnographer and paying
his own postage and telegraph bills.
Much of the success of the League
is due to President Crowder, who is
not only . bug, but = successful
business man. He has devoted a
great deal of time to the affairs of
the League, and has brought it
through in good shape, and will
vacate the Office with his affairs 50
arranged that his successor will
have but . mere shadow Of the
trouble he has had this season.
It 10 believed Frank Scott, of
Vicksburg, will be Mayor Grow
der's successor. Mr.. Scott, like
President Crowder, is vol posted
on the game, and would make an
ideal head for the League.
It il practically certain that
Greenwood will win tho pennant
this year, with Jackson second,
though a slump on tho part of the
leaders at this time might send
Jackson home q winner.
Tho Jackson team in tho last few
games has shown improved form,
and has been playing at something
like its resl speed. Jackson has
four moro games to play than Green
wood, but If the lattsr wins Ill her
games, and it looks like she will,
except tho three contests here. Sept.
3, 4 and S, Thornton will carry the
bunting home with him.
Jackson has . bare fighting
chance, but she must win svory time
Greenwood does, and then take the
last three games Of the season from
the leaders, in order to do 80.
Whether jackson can do this, only
actual results of the remaining
games can tell, but the race will be
. close one, keeping interest at
fever heat, until the last man ia out
in the last game of the Labor day
double-heador.

President Crowder Serves Notice.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 14.-Less
than three weeks of the 1910 Cot
ton States League championship
season remains, and then the cur
tain will drop on active field work
for another period. President
Crowder serves notice on the fans
and people of the circuit generally
that the series of games to be play
ed on Labor Day will close the sea-
son, and that the gate receipts, as
was the case with the July 4th
games, will be pooled for the gen
eral pro rata of league expenses,
the net balance to be apportioned
according to the constitution. The
closing series will be put on at
Vicksburg, Jackson and Meridian,
just as the season was opened,
with the same visiting teams, and
while tho matter is not definitely
decided, it seems to be a foregone
conclusion that the rag will 60 tc
to Greenwood. The present week
will decide that question without
doubt, and as there does not seem
any likelihood that Jackson car
come back, judging from the list
less and almost Indifferent game
which her men have put up during
the past fortnight, the odds are or
Woodie Thornton's hustling aggre.
cation.
The next step will be during the
winter days, either at the end o.
this year or early in 1911, wher
the question of reorganization fol
1911 will be up. It will then be {
question, not so much what towns
will be taken into the company fol
next season, but rather which K
eliminate, according to the view O
Mr.. Crowder, and some lively tus
selling is anticipated.
