Revive Railroad Promotion.

Columbus.-Several local capitalists
have become interested in the project
to build the railroad from Columbus to
Aberdeen and thence on to Okolona.
This is the Aberdeen and 1'ombigbee
Valley railroad survey, which was not
brought to a successful contamination
because the funds gave out and the
promoters of the road under that name
becam involved in several lawsuits and
other misfortunes. The project has been
in the dormant state for several months.

REVIVE COTTON ASSOCIATION.

Says H~ightower.


Jackson.-President G. r. Hightower
Of the Mississippi Farmers Warehouse
Company has received letters from bus.
mess associates and other source which,
he s~tates,N indicate quite clearly that
some persons are attempting to revive
the cadaver of the erstwhile Southern
Cotton Association, and for Interior mo-
tives. One such letter received by him
from a correspondent in Choctaw county,
stated that the writer had been ap.
preached by the socalled representa-
tives Of the Southern Cotton Associa-
tion," who claimed that they represent
ed his (Hightower's) plans and projects
for handling the cotton crop. The writer
of the letter says in closing:
eff you are acquainted with the prop
o%sition, may I ask if you think it good
for the cotton grower"
As stated by Mr.. Hightower, the only
proposition which has for its object the
handling and financing of the cotton and
its products from the grower to the
spinner or merchant, is that embodied in
the Farmers Warehouse Company sphere
of operation, and that there are men
who are quite ready to spring some
other scheme under the same alleged
dictatorship, he is quite certain. AZ he
is informed, Farmers Union locals in
different sections of the state, who are
in touch with the warehouse system,
are quite likely to turn down any prop
osition which does not wear the stamp

Mrs. Julia Moeller, a middle-aged
lady who arrived last Thursday from
Milwaukee, Wis, to visit her daugh.
ter, Mrs J. Edward Cheesboroush
was drowned yesterday afternoon III
the Wishkah river, about two miles
above Aberdeen. and Charles Beers
a young man who attempted her res
cue, lost his life in the endeavor Mr..
and Mrs Cheesborough, Mrs. W. B.
Fetterman, mother of Mr.. Cheesbor-
ough, and Mrs. Moeller, the mother
of Mrs. Cheesborough, were out for
a drive in surrey belonging to the
S. w. Johnston Transfer Co., and Mr..
Cheesborough had turned out of the
road, close to the river bank, to per-
init team coming from the opposite
direction to pass.
Team Backs OF Bank.
The occurrences that led to the
double drowning are somewhat cloud
ed in obscurity, owing to the excite
ment that all the witnesses We're nat
urally laboring under According to
best accounts obtainable, the team
passing that of Mr.. Cheesborough be-
came restive, and that excited his
horses, which were standing while the
others passed. He got out of the sur
rey to go to the horses heads, when
they cramped the vehicle and backed
over the bank into about twenty feet
of water
AS the team backed, Mrs. Chees-
borough jumped out and probably
saved her lie by doing so. although
her mother had cautioned her not to
jump, saying there was no danger,
and in another instant the surrey,
horses and Mrs Fetterman and Mrs.
Moeller were in the river. Mrs. Fet-
terman was pulled from the water
by the driver OF the passing team,
but none Of the witnesses OF the ac-
cident knew how to swim, and Mrs.
Moeller was allowed to drown.
Young Hero browns.
At this juncture, Charles Beers, a
young man who was returning from
a visit to his bride of two weeks,
came along on bicycle. Seeing the
the lady in the river, he stripped to
his underwear and plunged i'll to her
rescue. After striking the water,
young Beers struck out boldly in the
direction Mrs MOeller was floating,
when suddenly he was seen to double
up and disappear under the water,
evidently warm from riding the wheel
the chill waters of the Wishkah river
caused cramps, something the young
hero had not considered in the knowl-
edge OF his ability to swim.
The body Of Mrs. Meoller was re-
covered by Mr.. Cheesborough a short
