Wants State Exhibit.

Governor Noel states that he is in
hearty sympathy with the movement
among the great trunk line railroad
systems of the state to get the people
of Mississippi interested in the Ohio
Valley Exposition of Resources to be
held in September. He has already
taken the matter up with DR.. e. N.
Lowe, state geologist, and with Com
missioner of Agriculture Blakeslee,
officially notifying each of his readi-
ness to cooperate with them or with
any individuals who may desire to
send exhibits to Cincinnati. Governor
Noel considers this one Of the best
opportunities that the state of Mis-
sissippi has had to take advantage OF
some frst-class advertising, and ad-
vertising which is needed just at this
juncture, following the great bid for
immigration and capital which has
just been sent out to the world by
the public-spirited men ofthe state.

DINING OUT WITH FRIENDS
How a Boarding House Romance Be-
gan Between Two Homeless Lod9-
ers Who Had No Acquaintance.

Not until boarding houses q to
exist will all their be writ
ten. Shabby romances, some OF them
are. like that of the young woman who
got so tired Of being called poor
thing" because she received no invi-
tations and had to eat all her meals
at the boarding house table that she
took to eating alone once in awhile at
a cheap restaurant; and then brazen-
ly lying about the friends who a
invited her to dinner.
There was a young man In that
house who never went anywhere eth
er. The first night the girl stayed out
life's d~esolation nearly overpowered
him. Even that poor little white
faced soul has made friends who want
her." he said. Nobody wants me.
I'm no good on earth"
Then on rare occasions his place at
the table was vacant. New friends?"
asked the landlady.
"Yes," lied the young man.
One night the man and the girl met
in a 25-cent restaurant. They blushed,
they fenced, they finally confessed.
We're a pair Of frauds" said the
girl. ITS awful to think that to-
night when we go home we will have
to swear that we have been dining with
friends"
Weir said the young man, ~ain't
we?"

Farms to Demonstrate Fertility Of Soil
In Mississippi.

Secretary L. E. Davis, of the Missis-
sippi Land Improvement Association,
states that the movement is steadily
gaining strength in the state, and a
keen interest and enthusiasm is being
manifested in all sections.
when we complete the appoint
ment of the list of executive commit
teemen, one for each county in the
state" says Secretary Davis, II am
confident the movement will be given
a great impetus, and that we will have
a membership of $4,000 enrolled be-
fore the close of the year.
From a good number Of counties
we are receiving offers to donate 40
acre tracts of land to be used as DEM
onstration farms, and which will be
placed in charge of competent agricul-
turists who will raise crops to show
the possibilities of Mississippi soil. The
recent convention in Jackson attract
ed national attention, and my office
is deluged with letters from prospect

ton about Mississippi and her cheap

shipped on a undertaken schooner
bound for Boston. There he was paid
off and landed in the dead of winter.
He had never seen a snowstorm be-
fore, he was thinly clad and suffered
terribly from the cold. An attack Of
whooping cough laid him up and took
all his money. Nevertheless as soon
as he could crawl out he shipped on
one of the winter fishing fleet bound
for the Grand Banks. He endured
hardships without complaining, did his
work with a smile. and thus won the
friendship of the men of the sea. Fol-
lowing his work on the Banks he
worked his way back to Florida as a
sailor. Next we see him as a roust-
about on a steamer on the st. Johns
river. He saved his money, bought a
part interest in a steamboat and struck
out for himself. His splendid fighting
abilities were winning him notice, the
while his kindly disposition was win
ming him friends. He was elected
sheriff of Duval county, a position he
held nine years, and in which he made
a record which attracted attention to
him from all parts of the state.
The exploit which made Broward IA
nous throughout the United States
and Cuba was his ability as a block
ade runner to Cuba, during the time
the insurgents were fighting tho Span
iards there before the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. In company with his brother
and a third partner Broward built a
stout, seagoing tug for salvage and
wrecking work off the Florida coast.
He was approached by Cuban agents
and asked to run guns and munitions
into Cuba. The work was hazardous
in the extreme, but the pay was com
mensurate with the risk and Broward
became a f1libuster. In all he made
eight trips from the Florida keys to
Cuba and his perilous adventures and
narrow escapes would make a novel
In themselves. He was chased by
Spanish gunboats, fought with sew
eral Of them and escaped capture and
death by a hairs breadth scores Of
times.

Jacksonville, F1a.-One Of the most
picturesque figures In the southland
and q mar the story Of whose life
reads like q novel is Napoleon Bona
parte Broward, ex-governor of Florida,
who recently defeated United States
Senator Taliaferro In the senatorial
primaries held In Florida.
Mr.. Broward's is a brilliant example
Of achievement rarely equaled ever
In this day Of self-made men. He was
born in abject poverty, his parents be-
ing ignorant Florida crackers" and
his schooling was practically nil. yet
he rose to the highest Office In the
commonwealth and now he Is about to
enter the United States senate. He Is
a big man, mentally and physically,
and his honesty and integrity have
never been questioned. He won sue

nacity and by keeping his word. He
stands six feet In height, weighs more
than 200 pounds and is a born fighter.
Ex-Governor Broward first attracted
political notice by his project to re-
claim the Everglades Of Florida and
making them into farming lands. 1t
was this issue which carried him into
the office of governor. He has, too,
demonstrated that his scheme is feas-
ible by converting a part of the Ever
glades into productive farms, and this
made him immensely popular.

An Easy Fit.

A number of years ago there lived
in northern New Hampshire a notori-
ous woman-hater. 1t was before the
day of ready-made clothing, and want
ing a new suit, he was obliged to take
the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made a liberal al
lowance on each seam.
The mans dislike of women in gen.
eral prevented his having a fitting.
He took the finished garment without
trying it on. 1t was much too large,
and his disgust was apparent in the
answer he made to the friendly loafer
on his first visit to the post Office,
when he wore the despised article.
Got a new coat, Obed?" said the
Eoafer.

in each hand, and both working at the
same time, Cauley cut down the seven
negroes in less than ten seconds,
while all seven were advancing on
him with axes and pitchforks, with
the avowed determination Of cutting
him down."
Henry Ashmore and a Mr.. Rich. who
had accompanied Mr.. Caulty, were by
his side to assist and protect him, but
their services were not needed, for
the massacre was over before they
realized that 1t had taekn place.
Sheriff Mckenzie of Carroll county
went to the Beck place to arrest these
negroes for an assault, and they made
him take to the tall timber, and
threatened death and destruction to
any white man who came after them.
The next day Mckenzie sent Cauley
to make the arrest, and he carried
the other gentlemen, Ashmore and
Rich, with him. All were heavily
armed. Riding up to where the ne
groes were at work, the officer told
them what he had come for. While
he was talking they advanced on him,
some with axes and some with pitch
forks. He warned them to lay down
their weapons and submit themselves
to the authority of the law. With an
oath all seven sprang forward like

Little Demand.
According to Gov. Noel, no definite
arrangements have been made for the
sale of any large amount Of the $780,
900 OF 4 per cent bonds authorized by
the 1910 session of the legislature. His
advices are that the money markets
of New York and other financial CEN
tiers are unusually tight, owing to the
general demand for money which has
sent the interest rate unusually high.
The 4 per cent bonds of Philadel-
phia and other large cities are not In
demand, while New York itself has to
fix its rate at a higher scale. There
| would be no trouble in selling Missis-
sippi bonds at a premium II the rate
was Az per cent, nor in selling them
below par at a 4 per cent rate, but the
trouble is the law does not permit q
sale below par.
The governor Is stu engaged In ne
| gotiations for a large sale outside OF
the state, and Is receiving offers from
| citizens of the state at par value for
sums ranging from $1,000 to $4,000.
The bonds are a much more attractive
investment than q 4 per cen loan to
a savings bank, for the holder of the
bonds gets a half of his interest every
six months, and the bond is non-taxa.
BILE, while loans or deposits in banks
are taxable, taxes In some instances
amounting to over three per cent, in
Guiding municipal levies.
While loans and deposits generally
in the state escape taxes, there is no
assurance that they may not hereaf-
ter be called on, legally, for taxes, or
even back taxes, but NO such cont1n-
gency awaits the holder of state
bonds, which are just as safe as
United States bonds, paying double
the interest, and are g most desirable
investment. Estate and trust funds
could be safely and proitably invested
in this way.
The payable debt of Mississippi as
shown by statistics is as small or
smaller than that Of any other state,
amounting to but little ove $1,000
900, and every obligation of the state
since the Civil War has been met in
full, without any request for extern

Gov. Noel has issued a formal proc

offers of reward for escaped criminals
or others wanted by the officers of the

fact that the contingent or other funds

legally be made out Of funds available
