LEAGUE.
favors a State Reforma.ory School for
Boys.

Meridian.-A most successful SEES.
sion of the Municipal League of Mis-
issippi cane to a close here Saturday
morning.
A number of important measures
we're discussed and action taken on
same. The recommendation of Mayor
Crowder Of Jackson, in his annual ad-
dress where he recommended that the
governor be requested to appoint a
commission whose duty it shall be to
report to the next session of the Mis-
sissippi legislature it's recommends
ton of the many needed changes and
improvements in the municipal code
chapter of the state, met with the
hearty approval of the mayors present
and the recommendation was officially
Endorsed by that body.
In the matter of a state reformatory
school for boys, which has been advo-
Gated by many leading Mississippians
for SO long a while, after listening TO
the speech on that subject, delivered
by DR.. j. d. Donald, mayor Of Hatties-
burg, the members Of the league were
ready for any suggestion that might
be made in its favor. After discussing
a committee composed of Mayor Hayes
Of Vicksburg, Mayor Benbrooke Of
Natchez and Mayor Donald of Hatties-
burg, was appointed to go before the
next legislature and ask for an appro-
priation to cover the expense of es-
tabIishing a boys reformatory school
in Mississippi. The move was heart
lily Endorsed by the members Of the
league and all seem DESTROYS of put
ting the proposition through and not
letting It die out as heretofore.

GAME IS PLENTIFUL.
Will Be Good Sport for Hunters This
Season.

Observation-Disclosures 1 will mark the
opening of the season for shooting
quail, and from present indications
there will be some good sport this fall
and winter. Quail are said to be more
numerous this season than for many
years.
The season has been open since Sep
TENDER / for duck, geese and other
fowl of that kind, but it will not be
open for wild turkey till January 1.
Doves can be shot after November Is,
but they are rather scarce this year,
as usual, and this bird will furnish
but little sport. The season will also
open for deer November Is as well
as bear, and there will be one good
sport hunting deer this season, accord
ing to reports from the delta.
Deer are said 10 be more plentiful
this season than for many years, due
to the fact that there was no heavy
rise of the Mississippi river last
spring or summer to drown them out.
The law against shooting dee is being
more rigidly enforced, and pot hunt
ers have been put out Of business,
while the negroes are no longer al
lowed to slaughter them as formerly.
There is no duck or geese in this
state thus far, but as Dol as the
weather begins to turn cool there
will, as usual, be good sport in this
line.

AGAIN HEADS VETERANS.
Gen. w. A. Montgomery Reelected
Commander.

Major General w. A. Montgomery,
Brigadier General Pat Henry and Ad-
jutant John A. Webb were unanimous
ly reelected to their old positions by
the Mississippi Division, United Con-
federate Veterans, and Gen. J.. NJ.
Shivers, Poplarville, and Gen. Leroy
Taylor were promoted to b~rigadiers at
the Hattiesburg reunion. GulfpOrt was
chosen as the place for holding the
reunion OF 1911.
General Montgomery succeeded the
late Gen. Tobert Lowry as commander
of the Mississippi division, upon the
latter's death, and this was the first
reunion over which ne has presided.
His efforts in behalf of the ~organiza-
ton were such as TO win him a unan-
imous election to the highest office
within the gift Of his old comrades in
arms.
Adjutant General John A. Webb,
who has served in that capacity sew
eral years, was honored with a re-
election. He has served faithfully and
done much to perpetuate the history
of the Mississippi veterans, and it was
a foregone conclusion, even before the
meeting. that he would be his own
successor by a unanimous vote.
General Pat Henry was reelected
brigadier of the first brigade, while
Gen. J. NJ. Shivers will command the
second, and Gen. Leroy Taylor the
third brigade. Each Of the brigade
commanders has a record as a soldier
of the Confederacy.

STATE NEWS NOTES
Weekly Budget of News Items Gathered oy Our
Special Correspondent at Jackson.
RAILROAD VALUE REDUCED.
Uniformity Of Classification Brings
Heavy Loss of Revenue to State.

The assessed valuation Of the rail-
roads of Mississippi shows a decrease
of $477,000 as compared with last year,
due to a Redistribution on many Of
the small lines in the state, and estab-
fishing a uniformity Of assessment to
conform to other states.
This is a tremendous decrease, but
it is regarded as a fair one, since the
Mississippi valuations are about the
same as nearly ell othern Southern
states for the same class of roads. The
Illinois Central assessment, which was
regarded as too high last year, was re-
duced to $4,000 instead of $4,000,
but additional lines and other improve
ments made by the Illinois Central
makes it's assessed valuations about
the same as last year.
There was no reduction in any OF
the trunk lines, aside from the Illinois
Central, and the reduction ONE from
lines many of which were built for
logging roads and are now being used
as common carriers. The total valua-
ton of railroad property in the state
this year is $51, O02, 1884, and the state
will receive $3OG,015.70 in taxes from
this source.

ERANS WE'RE IN ATTENDANCE.
DRY Of the Men and Women Of the
Lost Cause.

Hattiesburg.-The first day Of the
TWEEN ieth reunion of Confederate vet
Grams was celebrated by appropriate
exercises on courthouse square,. The
line of march was formed at the Hotel
HattieSburg at 1880 a.m., and about
500 veterans were again in line of

At the close of the parade a salute

MILAN. Mayor Donald, in a few well
chosen words, delivered the address OF

Hon. Luther Smith then delivered
an address of welcome in behalf Of the

Dixie" by a thousand young Ameri-
cans and Mississippians was then
sung, after which Mrs. w. H. Hardy
addressed the crowd on the work of
the H%attiesburg chapter.
Capt. J. P. Carter then delivered an
address for the local U. D. c., which
was pathos and JOY, after a song by
the thirteen young ladies representing
the thirteen states.
Mrs. Daisy McLaurin Stevens, presi-
dent of the U. d. c., then addressed
the audience, after which Congress-
nan Collier delivered a masterpiece of

TO WOMEN.
November 1 Designated as Confeder-
ate Women's Day in Mississippi.

dtC VoiuCH LAY tu "iSSiSS'PR!
Jackson.-Among the Confederate
veterans who visited Hattiesburg and
attended the reunion none appear to
have enjoyed the experience more
thoroughly than did Hon. H. Clay
Sharkey, whose heart is now very
much e%ngrossed in the work OF rails
ing the funds for a Mississippi memo
rial to the women Of the Confederacy.
According to Mr.. Sharkey, much en-
thusiasm was manifested by all at the
reunion in the work set out for the
members Of that organization.
Monday, November 81, has been des-
ignated as Confederate WOmen's day
in Mississippi, upon which all parti-
otto orders will make collections for
the slowly growing fund, and all
schools and colleges are especially
urged to participate in this work. The
funds turned over to Mr.. Sharkey, who
is general treasurer of this monument,
lack very considerably Of being suffi-
cient to carry out the purposes OF the
movement, and it will also take con-
siderable self-sacriilcing work in order
to make up the amount.

WHO'S WHO AND HOW?
Secretary Of State Has Problem on His
Hands.

MISUNDERSTANDING of State ]. w.
Power has rather a perplexing prob
lem to solve in four counties. He has
been trying to get a list of the official
Journals of the several counties of the
state in order to have the proposed
constitutional amendments published,
as required by law, but in Monroe,
Jones, Yalobusha and YaOzo all the pa
pers are Official journals, in that
they all print the proceedings OF the
supervisors, some of them without
charge, and Mr.. Power must determine
which of three papers in Aberdeen Is
entitled to this patronage, which or
three in Yalobusha county, which OF
three more in Jones county.
He will submit the question to the
department Of justice and ask for an
opinion as to which, who and how he
will give out this printing.

STATE NEEDS MORE MONEY.
Each County Should Be Made to Sup
port Its Own Schools.

J~ackson.--To those familiar with
the financial conditions of the state,
it is more apparent than ever that
something must be done to bring more
money into the state treasury for gen.
eral purposes. But the question is,
how to do this?
Several plans have been suggested.
but it is not believed my effective
remedy can be had till a new constl-
tuition is framed for the state, provid-
ing for a state board Of equalization
and that each county must support it's
own schools.
There is no semDlance Of equaliza-
ton IN Mississippi's tax system, and
cannot be under existing conditions,
as each board of supervisors has it's
own ideas on the question of valua-
tions, and as long as they a get
enough money for the county govern
meEt they care nothing for the state.
Some of them have made this state
ment, and since the supervisors are
all powerful in fixing the assessment
in each Of the counties of the state
there is no way to prevent this dis
elimination, except through a state
board.
Some of the counties pay a great
deal more into the state treasury for
school purposes han they get out of
the general school fund, while others
pay but little of the axes from which
they get their school funds. and If
there was a law that each county
raise its own school funds, paying
into the state only sufficient money 10
meet government expenses, it is be-
lieved conditions would be different.
But this would require a constilu-
tional convention, as would almost any
other plan of raising sufficient funds
to conduct the state government. Stu
dents of political affairs in Mississippi
do not see how it is possible, under
present conditions, for the state to go
many more years without a constitu-
tional convention, and already there Is
talk Of the legislature calling M at
the neXt session.

COFFEE WAS 1T.
People Slowly Learn the Facts.

Cali my life 1 have been such a
slave to coffee that the very aroma
of it was enough to set my nerves
quivering. l kept gradually losing my
health but I used to say Nonsense, 1t
don't hurt me-
Slowly I was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my
whole w force was shattered.
"My heart became weak and uncer-
tain in it's action and that frightened
me. Finally my physician told me,
about a year ago. that I must stop
drinking coffee or I could never ex-
pect to be we'll again.
81 was in despair, for the very
thought of the medicines I had tried
so many times nauseated me. L
thought Of Postum but could hardly
bring myself to give up the coffee.
Finally l concluded that I owed 1t
to myself to give Postum a trial. So I
got a package and carefully followed
the directions, and what a delicious.
nourishing, rich drink it was! Do you
know / found it very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum and not mind
the change at all?
almost Immediately after I made
the change I found myself better, and
as the days went by / kept on improv-
ing. My nerves grew sound and
steady, I slept well and felt strong
and well-balanced all the time.
"Now / am completely cured, with
the old nervousness and sickness all
gone. In every way / am well once
more"
1t pays to give up the drink that
acts on ONE like a poison, for health
is the greatest fortune one can have.

Der on Exhibition.
In order that they may see for them
selves what a hook worm is like and
know what he is able to do when on
the inside of a human being, Mr.. Nc
Calip of Yazoo City has secured sew
eral good specimens and placed them
on exhibition in his office. In view OF
the fact that the worms are infinites-
finally small the doctor has provided
a microscope for the use of his call
ers, and they have been numerous.
The ci liens of Mississippi have been
aroused to a sense of their danger
from the ravages of the hook worms,
and they are reading everything they
can find on the subject, while as a
topic of conversation he is second only
in Importance to the boil weevil, while
the cattle tick, a pest that is said to
have cost the state millions of dollars,
is not in the same class as a subject
of discussion by laymen.

Cotton Seed Brings Highest Prices.

Jacksonville state will get a good
price for its cotton seed this year. Sec
rotary Yerger has just closed a con-
tract for the sale Of 400 tons of seed
from the Parchman farm at $31 a ton,
which is pretty close to the top price
paid this season. Up to September rs
cotton seed was bringing 1872 a ton,
but there has been a slight drop in
the price since tnat date. This price
is paid for the seed f.. o. b. at Parch-
man and Neyland stations. This means
a total of 1924 900 will go into the
state treasury from the sale of cotton
seed.
