WHAT WAS THE REBEL YELL?
Various Accounts and One Denial OF
Its Existence.

Macon, Mo- March 3.--"The rebel
yell? Yes, heard it once in a
way I'll never forget" remarked
Comrade Dan Magruder reminiscent
ly. 1T was the night Stonewall
Jackson stampeded the Eleventh
Corps. The Johnnies yelled then.
and their crazy screeching was most
as bad as their bullets. How does
1t go? Something like this: 'Ya-a-
a-sh-e-e-e! Ya-he-ya-he-e-e-e-e!
That's like mule brays.'
Well" said Comrade Magruder,
shaking his head, this didn't sound
like any mule I'd ever heard 1t
was more like the noise of some
big machine that was out of oil"
THE rebel yell?" repeated Capt.
Newt Ketchem, who was in the war
up to Fort Wagner. when half a doz-

look twice to see whether it was

Capt. Ben Eli Guthrie, who fought

There is more Catarrh in this sec

doctors pronounced it local disease

constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.

Easter approaches, and aside from
its character as a religious festival, 1t
is significant in the feminine mind of
spring millinery. Miss Vanity finds
Easter much to her liking, for, while
the church goers are thinking of the
religious import, she is regaling her.
self in her new dress and bonnet
The great gown of radiance and
splendor is hooked in the back Miss
Vanity takes a deep breath and pulls
hard. The atrocious deed of squeez-
ing a natural 26 waist into an un-
natural IS inch gown is accomplish
ed. The collar is choking. What
matters? The hat that looks like a
bee hive, with great ceremony is Sc
curely anchored to Psyche knot
that is transferable. Miss Vanity is
in full uniform. After drawing on
her gloves she sails forth to church,
the happiest woman in all Christen-
dom, feeling so swollen Win Dohhet
glory that she walked boldly to the
very front pew where all might see
the splendor of her top piece and
she stood up first of all and sat down
last and walked the longer way home,
and then sat in state on the front
porch. Does she hear the church ser
vice? Not a word. She is wonder
ing if the back hooks are showing and
if the ] 8 inch waist will produce inn
mediate death or slow destruction.
But she is beautiful, therefore she
is happy. Whether or not she is
comfortable is a different and less
pleasant matter. Certainly the new
Easter is strong contrast to the old.
We know that things do move, but
what's the use of their running.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-03-18

Easter may be as early as March
22d and as late as April 25th. This
year we come within five days of
striking the earliest date possible.
The high price of the necessities or
life made it necessary to have it
early. while the more fortunate OF
men had a little cash left with which
to purchase an Easter bonnet.

Auylc. 10 Mothers.

Be positive with the children. Lay
down the law. It Is remarkable how
soon they discover when you are in
earnest. Do rot go TO the breakfast
table In a furry, but stop long enough
TO count 100 slowly, and then enter
with a calm manner determining that
there will be no squabbling. 1t is
natural for the young animal TO scrap,
and while not criminal. still IT must
pc checked to self-control.

Easter is a movable festival 1t is
always the first Sunday after the full

Poplarville, Miss, Aug. II. SEN

last night after filling quite num-
Der of engagements IN different
parts of the State. and spent the
forenoon here today for the purpose
of filing an answer to the bill filed
in Chancery Court against himself,
Sheriff Harding of Kinds county,
and the Jackson Bank by the Bank

the case could not come up for trial
at this term Of court, on account oi

left on the noon train for Oxford.

Keep IJp the Fleht.

We hope that this bright glowing
weather has instilIed into your
feelings renewed energies. and
that you are putting forth every
possible effort to have your cotton

ing condition.
We can only add these words
keep up the fight. You know the
set rules. and also know the great
Importance of continually gathering
up the punctured squares, and
keeping up the rapid shallow culti-
walton that is SO necessary to make
your cotton bloom and fruit we'll;
and. too, don't neglect the use Of
the bush attached to the handles of
the cultivator.
RecolIect keenly that d golden
prize is at stake in a valuable cot
ton crop. Lose it and you get the
shock of a distinct setback. On
the other hand, save it by intense
labor and unfinching courage. and
you are a self-made man, or at
least. a self-preserved one. prosper
ous and happy.
We hope we can soon hear Of
some very satisfactory reports,
and that you are taking advantage
of every hour of this good weather
which is indeed SO essential for
your welfare.
Don't become unduIy alarmed
or in the least demoraIized if you
find the weevils are largely increas-
ing at the present time. This is
to be expected, taking the exper-
ience of all boil weevil fights as a
criterion. II we have been cor
rectIy informed. and we think we
have, you are now getting a fair
number Of bolls set on the stalk.
Let this good weather be an in
spiration and give fresh hope to
win. Remember well that races
are won in the stretch. So we
urge you to keep up the fight with
all the pluck and perseverance that
has in former years placed cotton

In defending his position on the
lumber tariff, Mr.. Dickson alleged
that 50 per cent of the lumber
manufactured in Mississippi and
|other portions Of the South was
shipped to the Northwest: that 10
per cent was shipped to European
countries; 5 per cent to South and
Central American republics; and
only 5 per cent sold at home, SO
that by far the greater proportion
Of the tariff tax on Southern lum-
Der was paid by the consumers of
the Northwest. who thus contrlbut-
ed to the maintenance of great
Southern indus .ry.
Mr.. Dickson also read the letters
published in last Saturdays Leader
from Senators e. o. Smith and
Wyatt Aiken, of South Carolina,
acknowledging the valuable in
formation he had furnished as q
member of Congress, in the effort
being made by the Government to
stay the ravages of the boil weeyiI

cream and a fine dinner being the
features outside Of the speaking.

by Congressman Dickson before
beginning his speech and bid off by
MIR. j. w. McGrath at $25, when
he found the proceeds were to go
for the benefit of the school.

The Suit Against BiIbo.

Commenting on the suit filed by
the Bank of PoplarviIle against
Senator BiIbo for possession of the
Dulaney -Bilbo bribery money. for
an Indebtedness alleged to be due
by Bilbo, the Magnolia Gazette
says:
A peculiar thing about this re-
markable suit. is that it was
brought wholly without the Knowl.
edge or consent OF the vice -presi-
dent Of the Bank Of Poplaryille,
who is none other than j. q. Bilbo,
father Of the much-maligned State
senator. Mr.. Bilbo was wrathy
when the newspapers brought him
the first information he had that
such a suit was even IN contempla-
tion, and he at once resigned his
position as vice president and
director Of the bank. Mr.. Bilbo
stated that he knew the charges
in the bill Of complaint were un-
true, and believed that the bank
had permitted itself to be inveigled
into filing the suit by its attorneys
for no other purpose than to worry
and tlarass his son, and for political
purposes solely.
The Dulaney money has been in
the possession of the sheriff of
Kinds county since that memorable
day last March when Senator Bilbo
appeared before the grand jury and
divulged b part of the rottenness
land corruption Of the senatorial
caucus. It occupies the same re-
Ilation to the Dulaney case as would
d pistol with which a murder has
been committed, and it lis difficult
to see how q creditor Of Bilbo
could hope to secure possession 81
lit.
This being true, the opinion of
1.-THE elder Bilbo that the suit by the
Poplarville Bank was brought for
political purposes will be con-
curred ID BY d majority Of the peo-
lpie Of this State.
