CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS
ON The increase

Jackson, Miss, April 12.-Civic i'm
provement is the order of the day in
Mississippi, and numerous counties
and communities are issuing bonds for
the purpose of building good roads
or constructing public utilities.
1t is roughly estimated that more
than one million dollars worth of
securities floated by counties and
towns in this state have been market
ed during the past sixty days, and in
every instance they have brought
fairly good premiums, and no trouble
encountered in securing bidders.
Bonds issued for the purpose of
building good roads seem to be in es-
pecial demand, and it frequently hap
pens that local banking institutions
or home capitalists offer better bids
than the agents of western banking
syndicates.
Announcement is made that the
city of Tupelo will hold special elec-
tion on April 22nd to pass on the
proposition of issuing $5O,OOO in bonds
to be used in improving the electric
! light and water plants.

ENGINEER ADAMS
KILLED IN WRECK

Meridian, Miss, April 12.-Engineer
M. j. Adams, better known as Jack
Adams, whose home was at S02 Twen-
ty-sixth avenue and Eighth street,
was instantly killed yesterday after
noon when passenger train No. of
the Mobile and Ohio road was wreck
ed between Mulden and West Point.
The entire train, with the exception
of the rear Pullman is said to have
left the track, but not passenger
was reported injured to any great ex-
tent.
The negro fireman, Eugene Will
liams, of Meridian, who was caught
under the engine with Engineer Ad-
ans, was reported badly injured and
the only other person to receive in
juries of any great extent was a ne
gro porter who lives in Mobile, but
whose name could not be learned.
Just what caused the wreck could
not be learned last night, but it is
thought to have been the result of the
collapse of a trestle due to the heavy
rainfall of yesterday morning.

LAST YEAR WAS
HARD ON MILLS
Lancashire as Well as United States
Mills Have Been Having
"Hard SIedding.'
(By Associated PreSs.)

Boston, Mass, April 12.-President
Franklin Hobbs, in his annual address
to the National Association of Cot
ton Manufacturers, said the past year
had been a particularly hard one for
the mills. He referred to the fact
that the Lancashire mills had been
having hard sledding," as well as
those in the United States. "The cot
ton crop has been disappointment" "
he said.
'Curtailment has continued and a
most unsatisfactory condition has re-
suited. Buying is on hand to mouth
basis, and this added to the perplex-
ing business conditions, has been the
upset of the political situation, and
the uncertainty due to the expected
decisions of the supreme court which
will have far-reaching effects with
these two factors removed, we will
know where we stand and be prepared
to go forward"

CHAMPAGNE RIOTS"
Are GROWING WORSE

Damery, April 1.-THE Cham
payne Riots" which began in this de-
partment yesterday, continued today
by the excited populace. Wine cellars
were destroyed and disorder is spread
ing in spite of the troops being called
out to preserve order.
The trouble in the department of
marine began yesterday on receipt of
the news from Paris that the Senate
had passed a resolution favoring the
suppression of all territorial delimita-
tions of the area in which wine can
legally be designated champagne.
Seven thousand wine growers left
here this morning marching to Eper-
nay to destroy the wine cellars. They
sang revolutionary hymns and carried
red flags. The rioters proceeded to
Venteuil, where they destroyed huge
wine presser.

ECLIPSE OF The
SUN ON APRIL Is
Will Be Only Partial In Southern
States and Total in the Pacific
Observations To Be Made.

A total eclipse of the sun is sched-
uled for April 2S, visible in the south
ern states as partial eclipse. AS a
totality it will be observable only on
the archipelagoes of Tonga, Samoa
and Union, of which Vavan Island, of
the first named group, has been select
ed by the English expeditions as the
best point of observation.
American observatories will send
out no expeditions because of the at
mospheric conditions on the island
named. On some of them at this sea-
son rain falls on an average of seven
out of twelve days. The Germans,
having a permanent meteorological
station in Samoa, will endeavor to
make observations. Three English ex-
petitions are announced, comprising
one for the government, directed by
the Rev. F. A. L. Cortie, of Stonyhurst
observatory; one by F. X. MCLEAN, of
Tunbridge Wells, and one by J. H.
Worthington, of High Wycombe.

signal HONOR
FOR SENATOR
Mississippi's Junior Senator's Ability
Wins Him Prominent Place
On Committee.

Washington, April 12.-Perhaps the
most notable recognition accorded to
new senator in many years will be
that Bestowed upon John Sharp Will
liams, successor to fernando D. Mon
ey, when the Democratic steering
committee, as is now understood,
meets tomorrow and assigns him
to the committee on finance. Mr..
Williams exceptional ability and his
knowledge of the tariff with the high
rank he occupied as a member of the
house of representative readily OBJ
waited objections in any quarter to his
dearth of service in the senate.
1t is stated that even the Republi-
can senators favored placing him up
on the finance committee. 1t is a
most unusual honor accorded the bril-
liant Mississippian and those outside
of the senate who have learned of the
intention of the steering committee
are commenting favorably upon the
aptness of the proposition. The steer
ing committee for the minority are
Senators Martin, Culberson, Clark of
Arkansas, Simmons, Bankhead, Fletch-
er, Williams, Kern and Hitchcock.

THE DEATH RATE OF
INFANTS increases

New York, April 12.-An increase
of nearly so per cent in the death rate
of infants suffering from dystentric
diseases in New York is shown in the
report of the department of health for
the first quarter of 1911. The in
crease has taken place almost wholly
in the institutions and hospitals
where children are cared for, the re
port states, the greatest increase be-
ing in the borough of Manhattan.
In 1910, according to the report,
there were II deaths in institutions
and 80 private families in Manhattan,
in 1911 there were 200 deaths in in
stitutions and 127 in private families.
OF these 10 deaths occurred in In
stitutions in March.
No reason is given for the increase.

FIRST INVITATION FOR
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Bessemer, Ala, April 12.-The first
formal invitation to the National Dem
ocratic Executive Committee to award
the national convention of 1912 comes
from Bessemer, Ala, today, the twen-
ty-fourth birthday anniversary of the
great coal, iron and steel city of the
South.
The invitation is unique in that the
Board of Trade of Bessemer, which
formerly tenders the invitation, en-
phasizes the necessity of return to
Jeffersonian simplicity, to the princi-
pies of the pioneers. The committee
is urged to award the convention to
the heart of the country, and Besse-
mer offers to erect tented city for
the comfort of the delegates in the
heart of the beautiful groves adjacent
to the city and provide a colossal tent
for the convention business. The
most tempting part of the offer is that
of feeding the delegates and attend
ants upon Southern barbecue Ala

HAIIIESBURC MISSISSIPPI WEDNESDAY, AFTERNOON APRIL r. 1911
CITY'S COTTON RECEIPTS
ARE RAPIDLY INCREASING

Hattiesburg is rapidly becoming
one of the best inland cotton markets
in the state, and the receipts of the
fleecy staple grow larger here each
year.
Last year the receipts were about
$4,000, compared with $4,000 the year
previous, and there are now about g.
900 bales on hand at the compress
ready to be pressed.
There are several reasons why Hat
tiesburg is growing as a cotton mar
ket. The city has excellent ware
house facilities, the warehousemen
and buyers are liberal in their
dealings with their patrons, and give
them the benefit of all the financial
assistance proper in keeping with safe
business methods. The merchants of
the city carry large stocks of goods
and their prices are as low as are
consistent with safe merchandising,
and the city's railroad facilities are
equal to the best. These and other
reasons account for the awakening OF
the farmers to the fact that Hatties.

from the country.
The Bessemer Board of Trade
stresses the point that the Convention
should be taken from the metropolitan
cities where it has been held so often
in the past and given to the country,
in the heart of the South. Such a
convention only, it is claimed, would
have been endorsed by Washington,
Jefferson and Jackson.
The formal invitation was delivered
today to Chairman Norman E. Mack
at Buffalo, N. Y, Secretary Urey
Woodson at Owensboro, KY, and also
to each member of the National Demo.
cratic Executive Committee. A com
mittee will wait upon the national
body at it's meeting to award the great
convention and further elaborate the
claims and advantages of Bessemer. A
weeks outing in tents in the groves
would refresh and inspire the thou
sands who attend.
