ciate its beauty, one must see the
harmonious blending of colors in the
materials used in construction which
enhance the simple yet effective lines

the superstruclure while brown flashed
brick forms the basement walls and
trimmings.
The building occupies the southwest
corner of the school block and faces
south. A broad flight of easy steps
leads to the heavy outward swinging
double doors which are equipped with
self-releasing fire latches, which open
the doors from within upon slight
pressure.
Throughout the structure space has
been eoonotnized to the greatest degree
and the plans leave little to criticize
in the way Of arrangement or utility.
The entrance hail is no larger than is
necessary to give access by stairs to
the basement and through swinging
doors to short flight of stairs to the
rooms Of the first floor.
Upon this floor is the assembly room
library, one recitation room, superin-
tendent's Office and girls and boys
cloak rooms. besides a spacious open
hall. The Office. with its built-in book
cases. is in the pleasant southeast corner
and between it and the stairs is the
boys cloak room. having over-shoe pig
con holes, or boxes. as well as the usual
number Of cloak hooks. the latter ar
ranged at two heights, high and low
hook. alternating. The girls cloak
room in the southwest corner is SIM
ilarly equipped and in addition has
stairs leading to the girls dressing
room and toilet in the basement.
Next the Office on the east is the
library, which also has built-in book
cases. and the corresponding room on
the west is a recitation room which
Supt. Berg will use for his classes.
Both these rooms may be thrown into
the assembly room by raising the Wilson
horizontal rolling partitions.

tire north end Of the building and has
light from both east and west. 1t is
34x70 feet with seating capacity of
$50. A stage 20x22 feet, with side
dressing rooms, is built out at the
north. An open arch 11x12 feet, con-
meets this room with the hall and as
one passes the swinging doors the view
Of assembly room and staae is entirely
unobstructed and the effect very good.

For the Second Time in History Girls
School Suffers.

Jackson.-For the second time III
it's history Belhaven College, one OF
the most popular and successful girls
colleges in the south, fell a victim TO
the flames.
The flames communicated with the
main building, which includes dorml-
tory and study halls combined, and
with a stiff breeze prevailing the
structure was a mass of flames In a
very short time. The loss was practl-
cally total, amounting in the aggre-
gate to about $4,000, with about two
thirds insurance.
Fortunately, there was plenty Oh
time for the students and teachers 10
get their effects out OF the building,
although some of the furniture was de
stroyed. The students and teachers
are chartered among friends in the
city, and will be cared for by Mr.. Pres
ton pending the rebuilding OF his
school. He states that he hoped to re-
sumo class work early next week, Sc
curing temporary quarters, which a

The Peanut Exhibits.

Peanuts-just peanuts-both plain
and fancy, form one of the interesting
features Of the agricultural exhibit at
the state fair. When this great an
nual exposition was launched six
years ago an exhibit of peanuts would
have excited much merriment, for 1t
was a product almost unknown to this
commonwealth-unknown, at least, as
an article of commerce. But the pea
nut is coming into its own, and the
boil weevil has brought 1t about.

J.. A. p. Campbell and Tim +. COOPER
Judge Campbell, as chairman or the

In responding to which Commissions
Whitfield spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the Bar:
Having served on this bench WIN
Judge Woods for some six years. 1
have been requested by the Cher JUS
tice to respond on behalf Of the court.
Judge Woods was an ornament 10
this bench. His recorded opinions make
his fame secure. He was an accom-
plished scholar, at home in every oe-
partment of literature. And this spleh-
did scholarship added lllster n nnlsh
to the style of his opinions. he nae d

he suffered much inwardiy' ana uh-
necessarily, from having erected lor
others, the high standard to whlch ne
severely held himself. 1t is better far'
in this rough. Grass life, to bury a
injuries in the ocean OF an all-pardoh-
ing charity, than to magnify innings
no amiss, into the seriousness OF OF
lenses.
"In his judicial labors, he was n
scientiously painstaking, dlllgent anu
faithful. an earnest tudent, 1mparllal
and fearless. And in his deportmeht
on the bench, and in the consultatlon
room. a model of all the perfect Judge
should be. Socially, Judge Woods was
one of the most charming OF men-a
pr;nca among gentlemen, and to his
associates in the consultation room ne
brought daily the full measure or a
most gracious spirit.
In the war between the states he
bore himself with marked CALAMITY
and great distinction, discharging the
soldiers full duty, fearlessly and faith
fully. And by none was his real ma
ture more thoroughly appreciated, ano
more deeply honored, than by the com
rades who had stood with him IN

.Jackson.-Capt. John A. Webb, adJu-
tant of the Mississippi division. United
Confederate Veterans, has called at
tention of the veterans of the state to
the fact that Monday, November Il,
has been set aside, by resolution
adopted at the Hattiesburg reunion,
as woman's memorial day, and on
which day funds will be raised for the
monument to be erected to the women
of the C~onfederacy on the capitol
grounds.
Much interest is being shown in this
event. and it begins to look as though
practically enough funds will be raised
on this date to erect the monument.
Some funds are in hand, probably $2,-
300. but it is estimated that the shaft
will cost about $4,000, and the vet
Grams will call on the school teachers
and school children of the state to aid
in raising the money.
In due time further notice will be
sent out, asking the people to contrib
ute to this fund, while the children OF
the state are taking as much Interest

The funds collected by the school chill

COTTON MUST GO HIGHER.
WeIl-known Meridian Man Talks D:
Conditions in Market.

Jackson.-"COtton will go to seven
teen cents before the holidays" said
Col. C.. c.. Wyatt of Meridian, who was
in Jackson Monday. 1T can't go much
higher thar that" he continued, "for
when ii does, it ONE into compete
ton with foreign linens and cheap
wool, but l expect TO see it go to six.
teen or seventeen cents and stay
there for some time"
Col. Wyatt has just returned from
a trip east, and bases his prediction
OH the fact that few of the mills have
more than enough cotton to u them
yer a week.
Long staple cotton is working the
trade. There is but little of this cot
ton to be had, and the automobile
manufacturers are afraid they will be
unable to secure a supply sufficient
to meet their own demands. The auto
mobile makers are using a great deaf
of long staple cotton, and the demand
for it is increasing every year. 1t is
used for tops and in the tires, and
other grades of cotton will not do, but
where they are going to get long sta
pie is a question.
1T is not a question of price with
them, but one of supply, and If the
boil weevil gets into the long staple
belt of Mississippi it is going to hurt
the automobile industry. They are
going to Egypt for the long staple, but
the supply is limited, while the de
mand is increasing, and this cotton
will bring record prices.
81 find Mississippi is attracting {
great deal of attention in the east,
continued Col. Wyatt. People wan
to know about this state, and every
where l went they were asking for In
formation. There is a great deal o
interest in this state and this is prom

MISSISSIPPI MAKES FINE REcoRr
Cattle Shipments Increased 800 Pc
Cent Within Five Years.

Jackson.-Mr. G. e. Thomson, repre-
senting the ST. Louis national STOCK
yards, is in the city for the purpose
of making a personal study. OF the i've
stock exhibit at the State fair, ana.
incidentally, he brings with him some
statistics thai show very concluslveiy
the growth of the cattle industry OF
Mississippi, and the fact that the
farmers of the state are being aWak'
ened TO a realization of the fact that
this is one of the best cattle raising
states in the Union.
For the first eight months OF the
current year, the period ending sep
TENDER 30th, ST. Louis had received
over $50 cars of Mississippi cattle,
containing about $4,000 head, and the
number of cars will easily go to the
900 mark before the close of the year.
There is no reason whatever why
Mississippi should not be one OF the
geatest cattle-raising states. OF the
Union," said Mr.. Thomson. You have
the splendid ranges, magnificent Tor
age crops, mild climate, excellent Wa
ter. and all other essential conditions,
IF Mississippi will get rid of the
cattle tick, which causes a deprecla
ton in the value of your cattle, it will
mean the establishment of a branch
of the farming industry that will bring
millions of dollars into the state eacf
year, and add to your wealth in a de:
gree second only to the cotton crop

FUNDS ARE APPORTIONED.
Pensioners Will Get More Money This
Year.

Jacksonville state Of Mississippi
will pay her INDECENT soldiers and sail
ors $37.55 a year in the future, in
stead of $41.05 last year, while the
other classes will receive the same
pay as heretofore.
A soldier or sailor who has lost
both legs or both arms or n arm
and one leg, will receive $12o a year,
payable quarterly. A soldier or sailor
who was married after 1885, will re-
ceive SIS a year, while the remainder
come under what is known as the
'pro rate" class. Servants of soldiers
or sailors who were wounded or are
INDECENT will receive the same as the
"pro rate" class-$37.55 a year.
The last legislature increased the
appropriation for pensions 100000,
making it $500, 900 for the two years,
1910 and 1911, which gives the lowest
class of pensioners an increase OF
$3.50 a year.. The funds will be sent
out to each county and paid out by
the chancery clerks, who will certify
to the state auditor that the funds
have been properly expended.

Director Says Tuberculosis Display
Not Missionary Movement.

Jacksonville tuberculosis exhiDl-
ton Is not a missionary enterprise. 1t
is not sent to any city because that
CITY is worse Off than any other. 1t Is.
only a part of the international war;
fare against the chief u OF death
in all lands and in every state and
every city as well"
These statements from Director
Routzahn are supplemented by a sum-
mary of the travels of the exhibition.
The exhibition has been sent to the
strategic centers in the entire eastern
half of the country, as well as In Can
ada and in Mexico. it was shown at
important points in FIVE Northeastern
states; it was then transferred to the
jamestown exposition, preceding he
campaign which has included three OF
the chief cities In every state east OF
the Mississippi.
With the close of the North Carolina
campaign the exhibition was brought
to the Mississippi valley, thence to
Louisiana and then to the North and
West again. until the entire country
has been started on the way toward
the control of the great unnecessary
disease. This Is emphasized because
some people have the idea that the
exhibition Is sent to cities which are
thought to be In special need. Such
Is not the case. All the cities are
alike, so far as tuberculosis Is con
cerned. Every city has the same prob
lem. Each city must do Its part IN
fighting the common enemy.

BETTER THAN TRI-sTATE.
Mississippi state Fair Has More s1
perior Exhibits.

jackson. - Persons who attended
the Tri-State Fair at Memphis, con-
sidered one of the best shows of its
kind In the South, declare that only
in amusements did the Memphis show
excel that of Mississippi, though
drawing from three states for its ex-
hibits and patronage.
In stock Memphis also had q slight
advantage over Mississippi, because
Tennessee has always been a stock
raising state, but in agricultural pro-
ducts and natural resources Missis'
sippi leads the Bluff City. There Ia
no state fair in the South, many claim,
that excels the Mississippi industrial
exposition in farm products.

Ciemency.


Indianola-When Judge Ward called
court for the purpose OF passing sen
tence on Walter Turner, a negro VINO
had previously been convicted on the
charge OF manslaughter, having some
two years ago killed his wife, there
was displayed the fairest and pest evil
.dence of the delta white mans ap-
preciation of what is termed a good
negro"
The evidence before the jury justi-
fed it in returning a verdict OF man
slaughter, but it was plain hat the
strong arm of the law does not always
admit all facts to go to %juries, as much
was told to the court in the negrOs
interest that had it been before the
Jury the verdict would have read dlf-
~ferently. Before sentence was passed
a large crowd of the best citizens OF
this community assembled IN the
| courthouse and more than twenty stal-
wart white men made speeches to the
| court in behalf of clemency to the pris-
oner. so much so that Judge Wards
better manhood was visibly touched
and as he said, in passing sentence,
he "had never seer in all his expert
ence at the bar such earnest display
of white mans esteem of a genuine
good and faithful negro, D..
Judge Ward said it was Their PLAIN
that Walter had accidentally killed his
wife while trying to kill the negro who
had despoiled his household, Walter
having caught another man, whom ne
tried to kill, when his wife caught the
shots. The sentence of the court was
that Walter Turner be kept in the
county Jail n day.

FARMER BRUTALLY MURDERED
Lured to Chicken House and Then
Shot to Death.

Shot to Death.
Biloxi. T. Broadus, a farmer
near Winnie, was called to his door
and shot to death by unknown assas-
sins. Broadus fell dead at the feet OF
his wife, who had unwittingly held
the lantern for her husbands murder
ers.
The rufians inveigled the farmer
from his bed by making a noise in the
chicken house. Broadus was bending
over the lock on the chicken house
door, his wife holding the light, when
the first shot was fired. He pitched
forward on his face; the terrified wife
screaming ran to the house.
After Broadus fell his murderers
poured more lead into his body. The
back of the farmers head was blown
off by a charge from a shotgun. An
other charge tore its way through his
back under the left shoulder. The
body was peppered with scattering
shot.
