the reception given Wednesday

tertained with her usual hospitality
expressive of gracious warmth and
charming detail. This attractive
home on South Boulevard was sup
plemented in loneliness with beauti-
full pink decorations in grateful con-
trast to out-of-door conditions, q
pink harmony that requires a SUI
preme nicely of adaptation for its
splendid effect; and indeed it was
achieved with brilliant artistic sue
cess.
Almost two hundred of u love-
Hest matrons, smartly gowned, in
dulged the hospitality of this pref

Hunt. They were cordially met at
the door by Mrs. DR.. w. T.

Then they were escorted into tho

Mrs. Chandler was handsomely at
tired in beautiful white marquisette.
Mrs. Emma Marye was lovely in a
gray crepe de chene, Mrs. w. S.
Marge strikingly handsome in
violet crepe de chene, and Mrs.
Crull was pretty in white lingerie
over pink silk.
This deliberately gowned assem-
blege was then conducted by Mrs.

of rainfall. The cold to prevent
evaporation, and thus retain the
moisture in the soil, where it will
do most good. Every preparation
is now being pushed for planting
cotton and corn; as we'll as other
crops. From all parts of the cotton
belt there come reports of an inten-
ton to considerably increase the
acreage of cotton, as well as plant
moro corn. Much lowland is to be
put in cotton in Texas and Okla
homa, as well as in some other
states.
The warm weather during Janu-
airy and the early part of February
started vegetation much before the
usual time, but that condition is
not without precedent. IS the same
thing has happened before, and
even a freeze as late as March failed
to do material damage, as subse-
quent results showed. Provided
there be not to much rain during
the spring, and too long q delay in
the advent of warm weather, there
will be little reason to remember
later on in the season the recent
February frost. A wet and back
ward spring car do infinitely more
damage than such a frost as We
have just experienced, even though
it comes after vegetation has started
everywhere.

An NIEefSIlN6 SUMMARY.

An WITNESSING SUMMARY.
After some months of hard and
continuous work and close applica-
ton to the extensive soil survey,
which has been IN progress, DR.. E.
N. Lowe, director of the Mississippi
geological survey, gives an int
resting summary of what has been
done. Speaking generally, DR..
Love says:
THE field work of the geological
survey has made rapid progress
during the good weather of January
and February. The three field
parties IN soil survey have been
continuously at work since Jan. /,
! the work being carried on in the
counties of Lowndes, Wayne and
Forrest. The weather has been so
favorable and the soil conditions so
closely PARALLEL to those of Noxubee
County that Messrs. Smith and Good
man, who worked Noxubee and are
now engaged upon the soil Of
Lowndes, are rapidly bringing the
work OF that county to completion.
Work in the other counties was not
begun until Jan. l, hence has no,
progressed as far, but is moving
along rapidly.
"Dr. Logan is at work upon the
structural materials of the state, and
the report will be ready for public
alton at an early date.
The director has completed a
preliminary study of the soils of the
state, the report on which is now
ready for the printer. An insistent
and growing demand has been com
ing into the office of the geological
survey for information about the
soils of the state. The requests
have come both from citizens of the
state and from prospective investors
and home seekers from other states.
To meet this demand a bulletin
which will owe about 200 pages of
print has been prepared.
1.-THE soils of every part of the
state have been treated as fully as
space would allow, giving their
characteristics, distribution so far as
at present known, present state of
agriculture, analysis of the soil
showing the per cent of phosphoric
acid, nitrogen and humus-the
essential plant floods adaptations
to different crops and best treat
ment of the soil. The water
supply of each soil region is also
given, including available artesian
water.
ITO meet the boil weevil crisis
ia the southern half of the state,
and the immediate necessity for
Investigation of crops thisregion
has been somewhat more fully
treated than others, and the
majority of soil analysis are aggre
gate between 100 and $50, includ-
ing both hill and bottom soils,
cultivated and virgin soils. The
treatment is practical, and it is
hoped the bulletin will meet the
two-fold demand for which it was
written. Of cousre, it is intended
to be only preliminary to the de-
tailed soil survey, which will not
be completed for several years."

FIFTY PERSONS
APPEAR DOOMED
Pacific Coast Steamer Being
Driven Toward Rocks.

Astoria, Ore, Nov. 1.-THE steamer
Washington, which ran ashore on Pea
cock Spit, is being driven by south
east gale toward the rocks between
Cape Disappointment and North Head.
1t is believed that many or all of the
fifty persons aboard are doomed. A
terrific sea is running.
The only hope for the fifty persons
aboard is in the bravery of the United
States lifesaving crews from the Cape
Disappointment and Point Adams sta
tions. These men patroled the beach
all night and waited for the vessel to
go to pieces or for her to drift close
enough to shore to let them shoot life
lines over her.
Two tugboats left Astoria for the
scene, but their captains had little
hope that they would be able to get
close enough to the stranded vessel
to afford any aid.
Two of the crew of the wrecked
steamer Washington were washed
overheard and drowned. The lifesav
ing crew have not yet got line oil
board the vessel.

Of the murder of his wife. has been

This decision on the appeal from
the judgment of the Chesterfield court,
which sentenced Beattie to die in the
electric chair Nov. "a, is final.
Clemency or reprieve by Governor
Mann only can save the condemned
man.
Beattie's last hope of judicial inter.
ference was dashed when the supreme
court announced that 1.-The trial court
was plainly correct in Its runns s.-,'
the appeal is therefore denied" Nc
further comment was made upon the
case. All five judges were present
when President James Keith handed
the decision to the clerk. None of the
interested lawyers were present.
