State Cotton Seed Brings S32

Gov. Noel has been spending consii-
cradle time likewise portions of the
contingent fund in his endeavors to
float at least a portion of the recent
state bond issue, but without success.
1t remained for the State cotton seed
to pull them out of the hole for the
current month s bills-bonds not want
ed, cotton seed licked up at good sub
stancial price.
Secretary Yerger has just closed a
contract for the sale of 400 tons of
seed from the Parchman farm at $31
ton, which is pretty close to the top
price paid this season. Up to Septem-
Der 25, cotton seed was bringing $32
a ton, but there has been a slight drop
in the price since that date
This price is paid for the seed +. o.
b. at Parchman and Neyland stations.
This means total of $124,000 will go
into the State treasury during this
month from the sale of cotton seed.

Sicillians In South Mississippi.

There has been an influx of Sicilians
in parts of South Mississippi recently.
the foreigners coming into certain
counties in such numbers that many of
the people of that section have become
alarmed. Governor Noel has received
several letters in the last few days.
The writer's fear that the advent of
these people means the coming of 9th
ers, and that the whole country will be
overrun with them. The impression
prevails in that section that MISSISSIPPI
pi is seeking this class of emigrants
but Governor Noel, in reply to these
letters, assured the writers there was
no such intention on the part Of aay
one, so far as he knew.

Trouble In Winston.

Threatening letters are being posted
at the homes of witnesses in the Per
menter case in Winston county, and
many persons are in fear of being as
sassinated. Mr. C. w Sharpe, father
of Miss jamie Sharpe, who was muir
dered, fearing to remain IN Winston
county, where fractional lines have
been tightly drawn, has disposed of all
his property and removed to Koscius-
ko, and it is understood that others
of his friends will follow.
Trouble was feared between the aPer-
menter and Sharpe factions during the
recent trial of Swinton Permenter, and
feeling ran so high after his convic-
ton, he was brought to Jackson Tor
safe keeping. 1t was feared, on the
one hand, that he would be taken from
the jail and lynched, and, on the other
that an attempt might be made to
take him from jail.
Feeling is still running high, 1t ls

toric body meet in reunion IN Jackson

adoption of the organic law under
which we live has met the hvellest re

derstood that about half of the mem
bers of that body are still alive, and
that the meeting suggested by MI
Wilson who has been in correspondence
with members, will be largely attend
ed, and is in fact looked forward to
with most pleasant anticipation. 1t
will take place in the Senate chamber
at the State capitol at II O'Clock a. M,
as above stated.
1t will no doubt be one of the most
notable and interesting gatherings held
here for wears. Many of the members
have not seen each other since they
signed the historic document to which
they gave their best thoughts twenty
years ago, and departd for their re
spective homes. Some of them will
see the new capitol for the first time,
the constitutional convention of 1890

To Honor Memory of Col. Burt.


1t is the intention of the Confede-
rate Veterans composing r. A. Smith
camp Of Jackson, to dedicate a mem
orial headstOne to the memory Of Col
Erasmus r. Burt, commander of the
Eighteenth regiment of Mississippi
Volunteers, who fell at the battle of
Leesburg, "Balls Bluff" on October
p, 1861.
The body of the gallant soldier was
brought from the field at Leesburg and
buried in Greenwood cemetery at Jack
son just 40 years ago, and for nearly
half a century ii has remained without
a stone to mark his last resting place
But now through the efforts of some of
his comrades a stone has been erected
at the head of his grave near the
Barksdale street entrance.
Colonel Burt at the time the war
broke out was Auditor of the State.
and. as such was not liable to military
duty but the patriotic instinct within
his breast prompted him to resign that
secure position and tender his services
to his State He organized company
in this city, and on the formation of
the Eighteenth regiment was elected
its commander. At the head of that
regiment he fell on the field of Lees,
burg, being the first commissioned of
icer from Mississippi to fall upon the
field Of battle.
In addition to his military services
he was the father of the Deaf and
Dumb Institute of the State of Mis-
sissippi, having as a member of the
legislature, introduced the bill authori-
zing it's establishment.
Col. Burt was a loyal Mississippian
both in peace and war, though native
of another State, and Mississippians
should honor his memory by attending
the dedication of this stone.

ii ACKIE CLARKE nosed out FRANK
Kramer by three inches yesterday
afternoon at the Velodrome IN the
second race of their 1910 match before
one of the largest crowds that ever at
tended a bicycle race here. The speedy
Clarke was able to hold a sprint ne
started on the stretch when Kramer
started TO unwind the final squirt that
has meant defeat TO all the fast ones
for years. The two will meet next
Sunday in the deciding race.
1t was one of those races that only
those at the finish line could name the
winner. The vast army of ans had a
divided opinion, many thinking that II
was a tie. while others believed the
East Orange rider had beaten Clarke
byN inches at the tape. For several
minutes it was impossible for the OF
fcials to the result as the
crowd surged about the stand.
Either Kramer's knowledge Of the
track was lost to him for a homer
toward the finish or he was unable TO
make the final dash at the critical
moment was a solution that appealed
to the fans. Frank has generally been
able to give a ina dig to the pedals
and flash home the winner when nearly
abreast of his man. but his jump did
mot materialize yesterday until the
tape was reached. If the riders had a
foot longer to go Frank would have
won.
FLOYD MacFarland's joy knew 70
limit when his little protege finished
ahead. He jumped around like a child
and ran TO those who had been so lou
in the claim that Kramer was to re
the winner to tell them about 1t. over
in a box close to the line sat Mrs
Clarke, and she smiled and laughed
continuously after 1t became known
her husband had won.
If it was Clarke's intention to tire
Frank by getting all the pace makers
FLOYD Krebs, "Pedlar' Palmer, Nor
man Anderson and Eddie Rooot, TO
carry the pair around the track at
such a clip that would cause Kramer
to waste his energy so he would nol
be capable of putting up MS usuai
grand finish, Jackie was disappointed
When Root was carrying the tWo
Clarke complained that he was not DO
ing his best. None of the pacemakers
went fast enough to tire either or the
two riders.
Kramer Said Tie.
Kramer was exceedingly disappointed
with the decision of Referee Kelsey
He was of the opinion that he had
drawn up ever with Clark just before
the sape was reached, and that ne Went
across the line on even terms.
mcfarland held up proceedings JUST
before the race was to start, wnen ne
affected to the selection of any riders
as pacemakers who a taken part %

to the articles of agreement every pace
