Mrs. +. Bonnet of Melrose, Mass.

Martin asking for a list of voters in

in her communication what she wants

them TO further that cause.
Clerk Martin has no such list on
hand, other than the records i'm the
township books, which contains the
names of 400 voters. He does not
feel like copying all of these names
merely to crafty whim. There is a
possibility, however, that the clerk
later on will have several copies print
ed OF the names of the voters i'm the
township, and If this Is done, Mrs.
Bonnet will be accommodated with

Mr.. Martin states that the voting
strength of the township is about 81

A DELICATE OPERATION.
Copper City Man Regaining Eyesisht
After Long Blindness.


An operation of very delicate ma
ture was performed this week by Dr.
Clarke of the c. & II. hospital staff
upon George Johnson of Copper City.
as a result of which it is almost GER
tain that Mr.. Johnson will recover his
sight after blindness of three years
duration.
Mr. Johnson was formerly a miner
for the Mohawk company, but about
three years ago, approaching blind
ness made it necessary for him to
cease work. Cataracts formed over
both eyes, leaving him totally blind in
the left eye and able to see only very
dimly with the right eye He soon be-
came resigned to what he believed to
be his fate, practically, total blindness.
Friends recently prevailed upon
him to consult DIR. Clarke and after a
thorough examination. an operation
was decided upon. this being perform
ed last Tuesday, the cataract over the
left eye being removed When the
bandages were taken off temporarily
yesterday, MIR. Johnson was able to
distinguish light, something he had
not done for three years with that eye
and today he was able to distinguish
objects 1t is believed that as the eye
heals, his sight will be almost as per-
feet as ever AS soon as the left eye
which was totally blind, is cured, the
other eye will be subjected to the same
treatment.

BOIL MEENL 4 BLESSING
Has Aided Farmers in Other States, Sc
Why Not in Observation-Disclosures
Humorous Incident q Trip.

Jackson.-George w. Fryhofer, real
estate auctioneer, arrived in Jackson
from the North Wednesday.
He entered the state at Clarksdale and
came through the Delta. He says he is
uncertain about the population of the
state, but the eight millionth man yes
terday told him about the boil weeyiL.
He says:
Il think it a shame and almost in
pest that has been a great benefit to
every section of the country it has
passed through. The live farmers and
planters are r~eadjusting themselves and
will be more prosperous for the change.
Those who follow the old methods will
lose out any way in these progressive
times. The boil weevil seems to have
left the cotton and gotten into the mer-
hant's brain. I heard a rebuke to q
merchant in Yazoo City that was really
good. One of the Invest real estate men
in Yazoo City, who continues to flour
ish and sell real estate, regardless of
being impeded by people who stop him
on the street and tell him how bad bus
mess is, went into a store to buy a suit.
The merchant, by habit and without
thought, got into the boil weevil whine.
This young real estate man, with the
money in his pocket to buy a suit, could
not bear to listen to what had been said
over and over and interrupted by savings:
L came In here to buy a suit and nave
the money to pay for it. If you think
such talk from you helps business you
are mistaken, and just to show you, I
am not going to buy the suit 1 nave
picked out A few wholesome rebukes
like that would make business more
healthy.
with this change which is being
forced on Mississippi, the state is des-
tined to be the greatest agricultural
producing state in the Union. Planters
are doing themselves and their children
an injustice by selling land for 500 and
500 per acre, which is worth $500 per
acre, and thinking they are lucky in I'M
loading what they consider poor red clay
soil at SIS and $40 per acre, when this
soil, properly handled, and with the
generous climate of Mississippi. is worth
500 per acre"

BANKERS WILL
HANDLE COTTON
HAVE RAISED $5o,ooo,ooo TO GO TO
COTTON STATES.
Grower Will Be Advanced $25 Per Bale
Crop-Charge Will Be II
Bale.

New York.-New York bankers who
have been comforting here with repre-
sentatives of the governors conference
and the Southern Cotton Congress an
nounces that they have raised a fund
of $50, 900, 900 to be placed Immediately
in the cotton belt states for the purpose
of handling the cotton crop OF 1911 and
enabling growers to participate IN any
rise in the market.
The negotiations were conducted ON
behalf of the South by Gov. Emmet
ONeal of Alabama, Senator Bailey OF
Texas, who has been advising his col
leagues as to the legal aspects OF thu
propositions; Z. J. Watson, president OF
the Permanent Southern Cotton Com
eress, and Commissioner OF Agriculture
of South Carolina, and Clarence Ousley
of Fort Worth, Texas, representing the
governor of his state.
The plan proposes to advance the
grower $25 per bale upon his cotton,
based on the market value at the time
of the loan. No interest will be paid
upon the loan, the only charge being 81
a bale, which is regarded as a legitimate
minimum charge for expense of grading
and handling. The cotton is not held,
not taken from the channels of trade,
but is placed at the best advantage.
The grower is given the right TO desig-
nate the day of sale prior to January
1, 1913, and will participate in any ad
vance in price to the extent of three
fourths of the rise of the market.

TO HAVE STATE CENTENNIAL
EXPOSITION COMPANY IS FORMED
WITH THAT END IN VIEW.
State Will Be Hundred Years Old De.
cember 10, 1917-WM Invite Navies
Of World to Assemble.

Guflport.-The state of Mississippi
will celebrate the centenary anniversary
of her admission into the Union. The
Mississippi Centennial Exposition Com
pan was launched here with that end
in view. Mississippi was admitted into
the Union as a state December 10, 1917,
and the state will be 100 years old De-
cember 10, 1917. 1t is the purpose OF
the citizens behind the movement to cele-
brate that event with a big centennial
exposition in 1917 at Gulfport.
Gulfport has been selected as the place
for the centennial because it is the log
ical point. With a magnificent harbor,
Gulfport will invite the navies OF all
the world powers to join in the celebra-
ton and make the centennial anniversary
of Mississippi's birth an international
affair.
The incorporators of the centennial
abling acts to permit the boards of super
visors of all the counties in the state to
make exhibits, but the centennial exhibit
ton will not be contingent on the action
of the legislature.
The company will proceed to perfect
its plans as rapidly as possible, and the
promoters wish it understood that the
centennial will be held at Gulfport in
1917, as scheduled.
The Mississippi centennial will be
placed on a scale similar to the Tennessee
centennial at Nashville in 1897. The
plans provide for an exposition that will
not only be a credit to Mississippi, but
to the entire country. The plans of the
Tennessee centennial, which went into
history as n of the few exposition en-
terprises that made money, will be
closely followed throughout. Ample ar
r~angements are being made to finance
the enterprise.

mendations in His Report.
Jacksonville report of Hon. J. s.
sexton, president of the board of trus-
tees of the higher educational institu-
tions of Mississippi, contains a num-
Der of strong recommendations to the
legislature bearing on the government
and administration of higher education.
The report is said by the members to
be the most complete and comprehen-
sive contribution ever made to higher
education in this state, if not in the
whole country.
A complete review, not only of the
history and development of four state
educational institutions, but of tho
history and progress of legislation in
the different states bearing on this
important subject. The report was
unanimously adopted by the board and
it was predicted that it will not only
be sought and studied by the leading
educators of the state, hut by the
members of the incoming legislature,
influential citizens, officers of the state
government, and by the general public.
1t is also the belief that the report
will be influential in other states in
shaping legislation bearing on the
government and administration of high
er education. e.

CUMMINS CRIES
WHEN CONVICTED
PENALTY IS SENTENCE OF FROM
FIVE TO TEN YEARS.
Tombs-Asserts He Has Done
Nc Wrong.
(CopyrfRht 191lD

New York.-William J. Cummins, the
former Tennessee promote, and -ecent
directing head of the Carnegie Trust
Company, was 1ound guilty of the theft
of $4,000 from. the Nineteenth Ward
Bank by the jury before which he has
been on trial for tae last five weeks.
Cummins seemed stunned by the re-
suit. His attitude throughout the trial
was one of apparent assurance and cheer
%fulness. After the verdict was an
nounced the prisoner remained standing
in IN evident daze, as Judge Davis
thanked the jury. When told by a court
attendant that he might sit down, he
said huskily: THANK you sir, thank
you," and sank heavily into his chair.
When his pedigree was taken, the
convicted bankers replies were scarcely
audible, but before he was led from the
court room he seemed to have recovered
some of his composure.
At the Tombs, however, he broke down
and sobbed.
ut is not myself that / am thinking
about-there are Others" he said, as he
sat weeping on a bench in the warden's
office. Then rising to his feet, he ex-
claimed, fiercely:
"The fight is just beginning. | feel
that 1 have done nothing wrong and 1
am confident that if l was confronted
with the same circumstances again l
would do the same thing
The state holds that Cummins had
$4,000 of this fund checked to himself
and that he used it to bolster up the
nnances OF his vaflous 1ndustfIaf cUm-
panies in the South which the state at
torney referred to as paper companies.
The p%eanlty for CummiEs' offense is
an indeterminate term of from five to
ten years as the maximum sentence.
Cummins is so years old and has a wife
and married daughter.

New York.-Haying given up hope OF
an adjustment of the quarrel with he
Missouri Pacific, the Frisco threw over
its relationship with the Gould road
and made a quick deal with the Louis
vile and Nashville for a line to New
Orleans. 1t was b. F. Yoakum's an
swer to the notice sent to him by the
Texas and Pacific several days ago say
ing that it could not live up to it's con-
tract. He said that he regarded the
arrangement with the Louisville and
Nashville as being more favorable, since
it made the line to New Orleans forty
nm miles shorter and provided the
quickest route from Chicago to the gulf.
The new plan," said Mr.. Yoakum,
gives to the Frisco a line from Memphis
to New Orleans forty-nine miles shorter
than the one over the Missouri Pacific
lines west of the river, contracts for the
use of which the Missouri Pacific and
Texas and Pacific AVE not carried out.
A saving of forty-nine miles to each tran
is worth saving.

STRANGE CATTLE DISEASE.
Battles Experts in Northeast Portion of
State.

The authorities of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College have been in
formed of a battling disease which has
made its appearance among the cattle in
Alcorn and contiguous counties in the
northern part of the state.
The animals affected have a profuse
running at the ears of bloody pus, have
considerable fever and no appetite. 1t
generally is fatal in four or five days,
mi the local experts k5e kaeww- what
to diagnose the trouble as or how to
treat it. According to advices received,
the disease is widespread in that dis
trict of the state and across the Ten
nessee line and a good many valuable
cattle have already been lost by farm
ers. The trouble is not like anything
they have ever seen before and the de-
cision of the government agent will be
awaited with considerable interest.
