Barbecue and Picnic at WheatIey,

Our neighboring city, Wheatley. did | herself and St. Francis county proud on "Wednesday at the grand picnic and barbecue given by the citizens of that enterprising little city, at which a large part of the population of this and adjoining counties were guests. Representative-elect H. Beechei Lewis delivered the welcoming ad dress, and it was given in his usua happy style He was followed by Sen ator Jeff Davis, who spoke for over two hours, bringing his speech to a close as dinner was announced.
 The dinner proved to be one of the most sumptuous feasts ever spread be fore St. Francis county picnic crowd, and to say that the multitude of guests did full justice to the appetiz. Ing spread is putting it mildly indeed.
 After dinner Congressman Bruce Macon addressed the people, devoting most of his speech to an indorsement of Amendment Nc 10 10 the state constitution, which will be submitted to the voters at the September cleo tion for ratification or rejection. The speaker read the text of the proposed amendment and enlarged on it's expla- nation, urging the people to vote for it's adoption
 Attorney Dyson, of Moro, followed Mir. Macon, painting in glowing Ian guage the greatness of this section from an agricultural and industrial standpoint. Dr. C. H. Trough, pro- lessor of economics in the State Uni yersity at Fayetteville, followed NIT. Dyson in a speech setting forth the advantages of the University.
 Attorney Gregory of Wheatler, ,intro- duced all of the speakers. He was in an exceptionally happy vein and con tributed much toward keeping the large audience in good humor
 Quite large crowd from here at tended the barbecue, among whom we noted the following Messrs II. w. Cook, Will Pope, James Fondren, Leo Grobmyer, Robin Williams, E. A. Rolfe, w. E. Williams, Tom Bridg- forth, J. E. Terry, Devine Carr, ]. T. Johnson, Chas. Walker. Oscar Lam- bert, J. +. McDougal, F.. R. Downey, Jim Thompson, Luther Royal Char ley Sanders, Will McCutchen, M. r.

ENCLAND'S KING

Worry Over Political Sit

Caused Fatal Illness.

London, May king Edward
VII, who returned TO England
from a vacation ten days ago in
the best of health, died at 11:45
o'clock last night in the presenc &C
OF his family, after an illness oi
less than a week, which was seri.
Gus only three days. The Prince
Of Wales succeeded to the crown
immediately according to tie
laws of kingdom, without official
ceremony.
His first official act was 10
dispatch to the Lord Mayor OF
London the announcement OF his
fathers death in pursuance Of
custom. The telegram read:
81 am deeply grieved to inform
you that my beloved father, the
King, passed away peacefully at
l1:45 tonight.
Signed GEORGE"
Physicians soon afterward is
sued an official bulletin which was
as follows: "May 6, 1850 p. m.
His Majesty, the King, breathed
his last at 11:45 tonight in the
presence of Her Majesty, Queen
Alexandria, the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales, Princess Royal,

ess of Argyll.
Signed: Lakin, Reid, Powell,

Pneumonia following bronchi-
tie, is believed to have been the
cause of his death but the doc
tors thus far have refused to make
a statement. Some OF the Kings
friends are convinced that worry
over the critical political situa-
tion which confronted him with
sleepless nights, aggravated if il
did not cause fatal illDess. Be-

 Reuther was stricken with noseblood three weeks ago, and while he was not subject to such attacks, little heed was paid to it until several hours elapsed and the flow did not cease. At length his parents summoned his fam fly physician. For nearly fortnight he remained at home, growing weaker day by day, until last Saturday he blood.

March 2.-That the Board of Health Commissioners will not hesitate d moment in closing every school in the city in an effort to check the spread of scarlet fever, if the epi- den1ic keeps on increasing in it's num- Der of cases at it's present rate, is the statement of pr. W. J. Butler, presi- dent of the Board of Health, who says that a, number of new eases of scarlet fever have been reported in the city in the last forty eight hours.
 There are now over 110 cases of the disease in the city. there being but seventy cases in the city recently. When asked regarding the matter, Health Officer Wright stated that he had heard that one case had been re- ported last Friday He would say nothing regarding the cases which are said to have been reported over Satur- day and Sunday.
 The fever has been discovered in the Ninth ward. and cases are reported from the Third, Fourth. Seventh. E1ev- enth and Twelfth wards. The state n1ent made by Dr. Butler, to the effect that there is a possibility that all schools may be closed as a result, would indicate that a general epidemic of the disease is feared by the Board of Health. Physicians on the board deny. however. that such is the case. The situation is claimed to be well un- der control

STEAMER RAMS THE
 REPUBLIC Both Vessels Inward Bound to New York Collide Off Jersey Coast-Wire' less Report Picked up by
 Fire Island Station. Steamers Minnesota and Sidra Also Come Together With
 Crash in inc Fog.
Especial from United Press.)


 New York, March 2.-A wireless des- patch received here from the Captain of the steamer Tagus of the Royal Steam Packet Company, states that the steamer was in collision today with the schooner Republic of Thomaston, Me, 20 miles southeast of Barnegate Light but that the damage to the steamer is inconsequential The schooner is badly damaged and the Tagus is standing by.
 The big wrecking tug Relief has been sent to the scene by the officials of the line. The collision was due to the dense fog that has enshrouded the coast for the last 72 hours.
 The Tagus was inward bound from while the Republic, which is a vessel of some 500 tons, was inward bound from Porto Rico with a cargo of sugar. The point of the collision is off the New Jersey coast and the first wireless report picked up by the station off Fire Island, was that both crafts was bad ly damaged. This was later followed by a statement by Captain of the Ia gus that he had taken sOundings, that his vessel was taking no water and that he would stand by the Republic until aid arrived.
 The Tagus is one of the biggest ves- sels that ply between here and the canal zone. She is 3,056 tons burden and has a heavy passenger list while
 
 cers- The wireless operator on the Ia gus was in communication with this city almost as soon as the accident oc- cured. He was directed to try to get some of the coaStwise steamers that are believed to be in the vicinity but so far has failed The fog is very dense off the coast and all steamers reaching port reported that they had to proceed at steam reduced speed since Sunday.
 The fruit steamer Minnesota, Captain Doman limped into Atlantic Basin, Brooklyn, today, with her steel bow plates smashed. She reported that she was in a smash up with the Sidra in ward bound from Spanish ports late yesterday off Ocean Grove, N. J. The two steamers came together in the fog, the Minn esota striking the Sidra on the port bow. All of the damage to the Spanish steamer was above the water line but the Minnesota. will have to be docked to have her damaged plates re- moved.
 The Sidra made port later in the day. Her captain reported while she was heading north a vessel lomed up directly ahead of her and although he reversed and used every means to avoid a smash the two vessels came together, the Sidra being badly dam aged above the water line the port bow. Her air tight compartments held and she was able to make port. Her forward anchors were put out of com mission and it was necessary to rig a spare anchor when she came into Quarantine.
