was not long after that this young

of medicine to the freedmen. The
work was first begun in connection
with the Central Tennessee College

Later, with her stem twisted and port anchor gone, the Dumos proceeded to Newport News for repairs. The big coast ing schooner Ruth F. Merrill from Port land, Me, and the coasting barge Ohio also were swept ashore by the gale near Sewels Point. With the wind from the southwest ships passing along the coast were blown seaward. This accounted for many escapes'

PUT OUT OF
 BUSINESS IN MISSISSIPPI

Jackson, Miss, February 22.-(Speeial.) )- When the house reassembled last night it was expected there would be something in the way of pyrotechnics over the anti frat bill offered by MT. Russell of La fayette, and passed by the Senate last week. but there was not. A great many visitors were present, 1t having been promised that MT. Russell would be per- mitted to unllmber his guns once more on the Greek letter fraternlties in state colleges, but he never got the opportun- ity, all debate being cut off at the sug- gestion of Mr. owen that there be no discussion of the bill wherefore 1t was simply read and the roll called in si- lence The fraternities were put out of bt siness by vote of v to % as was generally conceded would be done
 MT. Owen got the floor on question of personal privilege and read an eX- tract from report of Tuesdays pro- ceedings he found in the Meridian Dis patch Wednesday, wherein he was dubbed the dictator of the house, and which he denied with characteristic modesty.
 MT. Davenport followed with another personal privilege request, and proceeded to eulogize Mir. Owen, when he was called down by MT. Johnston of Lowndes on a point of order and the house settled back

their dispersion flight, encountered fields which had been stripped by the leaf worm, and continued their flight indefi- nitely. If the fields just beyond the bor- der of the previously infested territory had not been defoliated the weevils would have stopped and the total area GOV cred would have been much less.
 This extensive disperson of the in sect caused it to regain much of the territory it had lost in. Texas and Okla homa, and Florida became invaded for the first time.
 "The reasons for the great scarcity of weeyils in 1911 are plain. The reduction was due to a combination of climatic influences which can only be expected to reeur at very infrequent intervals. With the return of seasons favorable to 1t the boil weevi will undoubtedly regain all of the lost territory and multiply to the same extent as it has in the past 1t must not be supposed from the sit uaton in 1911 that there is any hope whatever for a permanent reduction in the importance of the boil weevil. On the contrary, it is necessary for planters to continue their fight against the pest, ac- cording to the plans that have been de- tailed in the publications of the depart ment of agricuture.'

 Free railroad transportation for the dele gates! It would be interesting to know whence come the "sinews of war so munificently proffered to fight the rapidly growing parcels post movement 1t would also be interesting to witness the spon- taniety and enthusiasm of the delegates, marsha1led together by means of the rail road pass. The big express companies are doubtless beginning to read the hand writing on the wall The profitable parcel carrying trade will not continue to be committed to their charge ad libitum, ad infinitum. Every important nation of the world has extended the benefits of it's postal service to the people except the United States Here the -four reasons mentioned by John Wanamaker have so far proven insurmountable. The dis patches today tell of the passage of gen eral parcels post bill by the democrats of the House.
