MISSISSIPPI VETS
ENJOY REUNION
MEMBERS ARE MADE GUESTS AT
THE STATE FAIR.
500 PARTICIPATE IN PARADE
laany of Them Manned and Tottering
Under the Infrmities of Age, and
Scarcely Able to Hold Them
selves in Line.

Jackson.-The Mississippi Division, u.
G. V. reunion has come to an end. Dur
ing the afternoon the veterans were the
guests of the state fair. The parade of
500 veterans. many of them manned and
tottering under the infrmities of age and
wounds received fifty years ago, scarcely
able to hold themselves in line, but re-
fusing to be left out, was one of the In
spring features of the closing hour.
Maj.-Gen. Pat Henry was unanimously
reelected commander after H. Clay Shar-
key of Jackson and Col. j. r. Binford
of Lexington had declined to have their
names considered in opposition to him.
Greenwood was chosen as the next
place of meeting. The following bri-
gade members were chosen:
First brigade, w Calvin Wells, Sr.,
Jackson.
Second brigade. w. G. Vaught, Magno-
liza. He succeeds Gen. G. M. Shivers, who
declined a reelection.
Third brigade, E. J.. Sykes, Aberdeen.
The parade, from the new capitol to
the old capitol grounds, took place i'm
mediately after the conclusion of the
business meeting, which was held in the
senate chamber. The line was formed
by members of the local camp, headed
by Maj.-Gen. Henry, with his staff and
the ladies who accompanied them as spon-
sors, chaperons and maids of honor, with
band in the lead. Following came the
imposing line of gray-clad, grizzled and
in some instances tottering veterans of
the great cause which they represent,
marching two and two, stretching out
for three blocks. By actual count there
were over 700 veterans in line, which
was swelIed by a score or more of ladies
who accompanied their husbands, and
appeared proud of the privilege.
As this interesting line passed slowly
through the streets, men who stood in
the line of spectators barred their heads,
paying thereby voluntary and sponta-
neous tribute of respect and veneration
to those in that thin gray line, while
women waved handkerchiefs and fans
as signifying the honor which they, too,
would pay these worthies.
The most inspiring moment was when,
just as the line was passing through the
gate leading into the grounds and in
front of the old capitol, within which
the first chapters of Mississippi's Confed-
crate state history were written in 1861,
the band struck up "Dixie." To this
there was immediate chorus of Confeder-
ate or "Rebel" yells, which passed down
the line, and Notwithstanding some Of
the voices had lost their piping timbre,
the effect was, upon the whole, harmoni-
GUS and inspiring.

ALLIES CAPTURE
TURKISH TOWNS
5000 TURKS REPORTED KILLED AT
KUMArIOVA.
FIGHT NEAR ADRIANOPLE
In District of Novibazar Montenegrin and
Servian Troops Are Within Few
Miles CT Each Other.
(Copyright.l

London-After four days heavy
battle the Bulgarians are resting. The
Bulgarians have not yet decided whether
they will attempt to capture Adrianople
by assault or to starve out its garrison
by siege The fuH extent of the Turkish
disaster at Kirk-Kilisseh is still un-
known, but it is almost certain that the
bulk of the garrison there effected re-
treat before the town fell into the hands
Of the Bulgr jams.
It is reported that 5000 Turks were
killed near Kumanova.
The early capture of Kirk-Kilisseh was
great surprise even to Bulgarian staff
officers and their allies, and the swift
progress of the war was unexpected by
Europe generally. 1t has been now nine
days since Turkey declared war and yet
events have marched to the point where
the possibility of intervention by the
powers already is talked or.
Muct interest centers in the nature of
the alliance of the Balkan states. 1t is
said on good authority that one of the
provisions of that alliance is that no
one state shall conclude peace without
the others agreeing to do so.
Details of the terrific battle between
the Bulgarians and the Turks at Kirk
Kilisseh are still lacking. 1t is said
that the Bulgarians expected the fortress
to hold out longer, and its fall within
week of the opening of hostilties is con-
sidered by them great achievement.
Even after the fortress was overcome
by the fire of the Bulgarian artillery
fierce fighting took place in the streets of
the town.
The Turks, on their part, declare the
evacuation of Kirk-Kilisseh was "stra-
getical retirement"

FIGHT PRIVILEGE TAX.
More Bills in chaucery Against Law
Aimed at Big Land Owners.

Jackson. = Two additional bills in
chancery with a view to testing the le-
gality and constitutionality of the act
of the Mississippi legislature of 1912
to levy and enforce payment of an an
nual privilege tax or occupation fee on
holders on large tracts of timber land,
have just been filed in the chancery
court of Kinds county.
The point is made in the bill that the
constitution provides that such meas.
ures as that controverted are required
to have passed both branches of the legis-
lature three full days before final ad.
journment and before approval by the
governor.
The actual physical facts are that the
measure was rushed through both houses
on the last day of the session, while the
clocks were juggled with in order to
show on the Journals that the statutory
time had elapsed.
Four or five cases precisely similar in
terms and facts have already been de-
cided unconstitutional by the chancellor
and are now pending on the civil docket
of the supreme court.

MANY REBELS SURRENDER
Col. Order One Of the Diaz Staff of Off
GERS Who Were Not Taken Into
Custody.

Vera Cruz, Mexico.-The revolt OF
Gen. Felix Diaz, nephew of the exiled
president, has been short lived. The town
of Vera Cruz, which he occupied with
about 1000 adherents for several days,
was captured by the federal forces. Two
federal columns commanded by Col. JIM
inez Castro and Gen. Joaquin Beltran en-
tered Vera Cruz from the north and
south.
There was slight opposition to their
advance-Col Castro with less than fifty
men capturing Gen. Felix Diaz, whose
three hundred men &C police Aaeadquar-
ters refused to fire at his command
The revolutionists in the barracks say
they will hold out until the last man is
killed. However, the weaker spirits
seem to be trying to escape. The killed
and wounded number less than one hun
dred.
No foreigner was hurt. Desultory
firing continued after the federals en-
tered the town.
The rebel officers have been made
prisoners. 1t is believed they will be
ordered shot by summary court martial.
1t is announced the soldiers viii not be
punished.

ACCUSED OF KILLING MOTHER
15-YEAR OLD MINNIE NOVEL; IS
HELD TO GRAND JURY.
Philadelphia Girl Protests That Mothef
Was Killed in Scuffe Over What
Was Thought to Be an
Empty Gun.

Philadelphia. - Miss Minnie Novel;
the 15-year-od daughter of Ben. NOVEL;,
who lives about four miles south of this
place, who was placed in jail here, charg-
ed with the murder of her mother, was
arraigned before Justice Quinn on a pre-
liminary charge of murder, and held to
the grand jury on $500 bond.
Quite large crowd was in attendance,
all anxious to learn the particulars that
led up to the killing. Every one sat
breathless when Attorney Richardson
waived arraignment and entered plea
of not guilty, and following the first
waive with a second of trial and ac-
cepted an order of the court committing
Miss NOVEL; to Jail without bond.
The next step taken by the defense
was to sue out writ of habeas corpus
before the Hon. G. L. Dobbs, circuit judge
in this county, who was holding civil
term of the circuit court at this place.
When the crowd learned of this step
they made a rush for the courtroom there
to learn that there would be no testi-
mony taken in the case. The attorneys
on both sides are keeping their testimony
secret and none of the throng of people
which crowded the courtroom is any
wiser for having attended the trial, as
not word of testimony was taken in
either trial.
Judge Dobbs, after considering. the
youthfulness of the girl and the fnan-
cial condition of the family, gave her
bail in the sum of $500, which she made
in about five minutes.
The girl claimed that the killing was
an accident, resulting from playful
scuffie over what she believed to be an
empty gun, but another girl who was
present seemed to think that the scuftie
was a real fight and that the killing was
