MEMORlAM.

George Leslie Hill was born in Hop
kinsville, Ky, in January, 1872, and
came to Mississippi with his parents in
childhood, where he lived until q
hood. and died of typhoid fever August
1st, 1910, in Birmingham, Ala. and
was laid to rest in the Shannon GEM
etery Aug. 4th amid a host of sorrow
ing relatives and friends.
He WAS married to Miss Susie Conley
in 1893, and she, with two dear little
boys, an aged father and mother and
two brothers are mourning his loss. It
seems hard to give him up when we
think how much he was needed, so it
seems to US, to rea and guide his lilrle
boys, but God has said Il will be a
father to the fatherless ard a husband
% the widow" and God will surely full
fill his promises. We do not know why
Leslie was taken away in the prime
and vigor of his manhood, but God
knows and we shall know in the Beau
tiful Golden Sometime" He is not
d ,ad but sleepeth. If our eyes could
only pierce the veil that i%ntervenes be-
tween US methinks we would see him
with a smile or his lips saying weep
not dear wife. children, father and
mother. ali my trials and sufferings are
passed away and / am now waiting and
watching for my loved ones to come
into the mansion Of rest.
May God comfort the sorrowing ones,

COTTON o SHOULD
ADVANCE,

The great discrepancy which
has existed sometime between
the price Of raw material and the
manufactured article in cotton
goods has proven a barrier to the
successfuful manufacturer of the
staple. Beyond II cents the cot
ton mills Of the country have
been unable to run without a
loss. This condition has brought
bout a curtailment of product
a i'd with the mills on half time
there can be no dividends.
With the present outlook it
seems highly probable that this
condition will continue through
out the next season, and if the
m lis keep their spindles running
t lere must be a sharp advance
in the manufactured article.
The South is especially inter-
ested in the good prices for her
cotton, and if prices are main
tanned there must be an improve
ment in the dry goods trade.
The disposition to hammer the
market down must be superseded
by more liberal concessions to
the manufacturer, WAC is unable
to maintain himself ia a market
where competition is close and
raw material at the present
prices.

WiTHERsPooN WINS.

In the primary held in the 9Th
District. Hon. S. A. Vither-
spoon, of Meridian. defeated
Congressman Adam Byrd for
the nomination by a majority of
265 votes. Much interest W. S
manifested in this race and it
has been pointed to as a test vote
between the Vardaman and anti
Vardaman strength of that dis
trict. If this be the case, the
result must be taken as a dog
fall because of the practically
equal division between the two
candidates. This, however, was
not the case, as the fight was
made largely against Mr.. Byrd
on account of his vote in Con-
gress on the tariff bill which
gave to the lumber mills of the
country a protection or bonus of
So a thousand.
Mr.. Byrd vigorously fought
this feature of the bill and war
was made on him by the lumber
interests of his district, which
evidently encompassed his de-
feat.
Mr.. Byrd's district is in the
p:ney woods section and many
lumber mills are located in it.
These lumber men sought to have
him represent them before the
tariff committee in their demand
for protection, but true to his
convictions as a democrat, he re
fused to vote to grant them any
special privilege over the rest of
mis- constituents.
With the opening up of the
Mobile, jackson & Kansas City
road which runs through Mr..
Byrd's district, Northerners went
into the territory and bought up
the timbered land. These men
are republicans and protection
lists and demanded of Mr.. Byrd
that he would vote them the
same protection that they had
been accustomed to in the North.
Refusing to do this, they fought
him.
Besides this, MI. Witherspoon,
Mr.. Byrd's opponent. is a man
of great ability and integrity and
in whom Mr. Byrd found an an
tagonist worthy of his steel. He
is recognized as one of the lead
ing lawyers of the state and fully
capable OF holding his own with
any one on the hustings. The
district will continue to be ably
represented.

on Iuherculin Test.

OF tupeFculIn est.
Waterloo, jan 18.-The need Of tu-
beruclin inspection Of milk and dairy
cattle is verified in the recent results
of herd of twenty-five dairy cows
owned by a farmer near Sumner, eigh-
teen of which were shipped to the Sim
clair Packing Company in Cedar Rap
ids, and showed tuberculosis in an ad-
vanced stage.
What adds emphasis is the fact that
the herd were what the owners
thought to be the best, having segre-
gated them from large herd. The
owner sold off all the worst looking
Of his cattle and those left were, the
ones that appeared to be in the pink
of condition.
When the tuberculin test was applied
to the twenty-five remaining, eighteen
responded and postmortem examination
at the time of slaughter revealed the
fact that they were undesirable and
only parts Of their carcasses fit for
packing purposes even.
This is the heaviest respondency that
has developed in connection with the
testing so far. The average has run
only a trifle over II per cent.
