MAJOR HENRY TO
Be COMMANDER
Will Probably Succeed Col. Mont
gomery as the Head of the
Confederates.

It is understood that at the annual
reunion of the Mississippi division,
United Confederate Veterans, to be
held at Gulfport next month, the name
of Maj. Pat Henry. of Brandon, will be
placed in nomianton for the office of
Mai. General commanding.
Announcement was made a short
time since that Maj.-Gen. w. A. Mont
gomery, of Edwards, will not be an
aspirant for reelection. Thus far
Mai. Henry is the only officer of the
organization who has been suggested
for the prospective vacancy. In reali-
ty, he is next in line for promotion to
the office, being now the Brigadier-
General commanding the first brigade,
which is the largest division of the
organization in the state.
There is not a Confederate veteran
with a more gallant record or more
soldiery figure in Mississippi than
Mai. Pat Henry. Indeed, he is the
ideal soldier, both in personal bearing
and character of service. Tall and
commanding in appearance, his is
figure that invariably attracts atten
ton in the largest crowd. His devo
ton to the Lost Cause amounts al
most to a passion, and there has no
been a Confederate reunion in recen
years where he was not conspicuou
figure.

JOHN FOLEY HAS
TRYING EXPERIENCE
ON THE MISSISSIPPI

Greenville, Miss, Sept. 16.-John
Foley, an employe of the government
on the river Improvement work near
here, had an awful twelve hours eX-
perience in the Mississippi river last
night. Foley was coming down to
Greenville in a skiff, and about 8 o.
clock yesterday afternoon, when in
midstream above the city, the side of
his boat caved in and sank. Foley
reached log and was floating fairly
well until the Sadie Lee, coming to
Greenville. passed close to him last
night and the waves sent him from
his perch. Foley floundered in the
water for a few moments and caught
chunk" on which he floated until
3 o'clock this morning, when Patrol
man Parker, of the city police force
heard his cries, secured a skiff ant
went to the rescue.
Foley was absolutely exhausted
when rescued, and could have held hi,
position but a little while longer H,
was given stimulants which restored
him somewhat, and tonight is though
| to be out of danger.

Beginning Monday, the 18th instant,
the Mayor and Board of Commission
ers will be in session at the City Hall,
and from day to day thereafter as long
as necessary, for the purpose of equal
izing valuation of city property as
sessed for taxation, and hearing com
plants from property owners.
The work before the city fathers
will be hard task and require con
siderable figuring and financing to ar
rive at a total assessment from which
sufficient taxes may be derived to
meet the budget for next year. To
furnish an idea of what they are up
against the valuation of property Civ
en- in by the owners is some $900,0O0
less than the assessed valuation for
this year, and the taxes to be derived
will necessarily have to be more. The
taxes from real estate and personal
property last year was approximately
$91 100000 expended as follows For
school purposes $4,000; interest or
bonds $4,000; fire department $40,
600: lights $4,000; leaving $4,000 fol

Catania, Sicily, Sept. 15.-Clouds OF
smoke from Mount Etna hid the sky

today. The volcano continued to
throw out lava from the craters and a
hundred new assures. The river Of
lava flowing North has separated into
four main streams, the largest of

two miles from Frankvilla. The rail
way station of Solicchiata is in inl-

The earthquake and volcanic explo
sions were less frequent today an
hope is entertained that the eruption
is beginning to subdue.

COTTON CROP IS
SIXTY PER CENT
Estimate Made of Crop in Counties
Near the State Capital.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 16.-According
to conservative estimates received
from the leading merchants and cot
ton buyers within a radius of fifty
miles of Jackson. the cotton crop viii
average about sixty per cent of the
yield of last year.
This estimate is especially true Of
Kinds county, and very few figures
show any variance with the statement.
Four weeks ago prospects were good
for yield considerably in excess of
the 1910 record, and a deterioration
of at least forty per cent has taken
place within that period.
The weather man is evidently try
ing to make amends for the damage
caused during the past month, fol
ideal weather is now prevailing
Throughout the past week there has
| been plenty of hot sunshine and very
little rain, two favorable features thai
tend to lessen the ravages of the Dol
weevil and hasten maturity of the
staple. The boil worm, however, has
inflicted more damage than all othe
causes combined. However, Pari
green and arsenate of lead are bein.
used in large quantities, and thes'

ODD lengths OF
LUMBER NOW USED
Times and Customs in Manufacture
And Sale Of Lumber Are
Changing.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 16.-The
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
cooperating with lumber manufac-
turers in the South, to determine the
saving that can be effected by using
odd lengths of lumber as well as even,
has begun to bear fruit. That in
vestigation showed that a material
saving was practicable, and at a re-
cent meeting of a southern lumber
manufacturers association the fact
was brought out that beginning has
been made in putting the new plan
into practice, and that an increase in
the sale of odd lengths is anticipated
for the near future.
1t was formerly the custom, and p
orally is so still, to sell lumber
even lengths only. Waste resu. i.

HON. MONROE MCCLURE DEViSEs
PETITION FOR coNsTlTu-
TIONAL CONVENTION.
The DEMAND IS IMPERATIVE
Gov-Elect Brewer is Said. to Favor
Holding the Convention. South Mis-
sssippi is Unfairly Treated Under
Present System.

Hon. Monroe McClurg, of Green .
wood, former Attorney General. and .
one of the foremost members of the |
Mississippi bar, has taken the inita |
tive in a movement to secure a con- !
stitutional convention, and the adopt
ion of concurrent resolution at the
approaching session of the legislature
providing for an assembly of that
character to revise the organic law
of the commonwealth.
Gen McClurg urges that petitions
bearing the following caption be cir
culated at every polling precinct in
the state prior to the first of January:
"To the Honorable Legislature of
the State of Mississippi, Session of
1912: The undersigned qualified vot-
ers of said state, residing in --

, ly petition your honorable body to call
a convention of delegates equal in
number to the present membership
of the Legislature now organized, and
to be elected from the counties and
election districts as the senators and
representatives are now elected, and
a number to be elected from the state
at-large equal to the number of Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress
from this state, to meet at the capital
at the earliest practicable date to or
dain such constitution

cence that Gen. McClurg is one OF
Governor-elect Brewers most init
mate personal friends and political ad
visers, and, while he says that he is
not acquainted with Mr.. Brewers
views on this subject, it is neverthe
less believed that he has good reason

not destroyed the freshness of her
beauty.
Her mother died when she was a
week old, and she was taken to the

him till she was 10 years old, when
she went to Milford for a visit.
The seashore was new to her, and
one day she engaged in a frolic with
Ollie Baldwin. They playfully splash
ed each other in the water and thus
formed a friendship that resulted in
the elopement. Baldwin became the
village blacksmith. His bride was dis
owned by her wealthy relatives. The
couple have struggled against poverty
and sickness, and say that, if need be.
they are willing to keep up the strug-
gle One of the reasons why the rela-
tives of Mae Deffney objected to her
marriage to Baldwin was that she was
a Catholic while he was a Protestant.
Baldwin two years ago was received
into full communion in the Catholic
church.
The millionaire uncle inserted in his
will clause containing his wish that
she marry George Curtiss of Minneap
oils. 1t is not believed it will prove
an obstacle to the fullfilment of the
Wills declarations. Mrs. Baldwin has
placed the matter in lawyers hands
