While the unveiling was in
progress the band played My
Country, 'Tis of Thee" and at its
conclusion the monument was
formally accepted on behalf of
the Lowndes county veterans by
Gen. E. 7. Sykes, a prominent
member of Isham Harrison Camp
No. 27, U. C.. ", of this city.
Gen. Sykes in accepting the
monument paid a high tribute to
the women of the South, declar-
ing that they played as promi-
nent part in the fortunes of the
Confederacy as did the men, the
hardships which they underwent
at home having brought as much
suffering as was entailed upon
the soldiers on the field of battle.
Gen. Sykes was followed by
Hon. Blewett Lee of Chicago. Mr..
Lee is a son of the late Gen. Steph-
en- ID. Lee, after whom the local
chapter of Confederate Daugh-
ters is named, and he spoke with
much feeling. He is a scholar as
well as an orator, and his address
was both erudite and eloquent.
Mr.. Lee was the last speaker on
the program, and at the conclu-
sion of his address the audience
was dismissed, the benediction
having been pronounced by Rev.
B. de Waddell of Meridian.

IACESSAhT RAINS HAVE NOT
HURT THE CROP PROSPECTS
Cotton is Fairly Good, While the
Corn Yield Promises to be
Unusually Bountiful.

While incessant rains have fall
len throughout this section dur
ing the past week. they have
brought no injury to the crops.
having had a tendency to improve
conditions. especially in the up
lands. In some extremely low
places there is too much moisture
but the rains were needed in
most localities. and taken as a
W hole, have had tendency to
improve rather than injure either
cotton or corn.
Capt. ID. =. Davis, who buys
seed for the Independent Cotton
Oil Company. and who always
keeps thoroughly posted regard
ing crop conditions. stated to a
Commercial reporter yesterday
that he had recently gone over
the territory contigous to Colum-
bus, and from his observations
was inclined to estimate the cot
ton yield at about two-thirds of
what it was last year. He says
that the crop is spotted, being
decidedly better in some locali-
ties than others, this condition
being due in a large measure to
the samount of work that has
been done in the fields.
The corn crop is fine. This
grain thrives on wet weather,
and it is generally conceded that
the yield throughout the county
will be larger than for many
years past.

P|CKENS COUNTY ANXIOUS
TO SECURE new RAILROAD
Mr.. Coleman Says Construction
Of the Line Means a Great
Deal For Columbus.

Mr.. ]. H. Coleman, a promi-
nent citizen of Pickensville, has
been spending the past few days
in the city, this being his first
visit to Columbus for more than
a year.
Mr., Coleman is an enthuslas-
tic booster for the Memphis. Co.
lumbus and Gulf Railroad, and
declares that the construction of
the line means as much to Colum-
bus as to Pickensville. Mr..
Coleman sssays that for many
years the merchants and farmers
of Pickensville and Pick
ems county have been doing the
bulk of their trading in Columbus,
and that the only means through
which this trade can be retained
is by building the new line. Mr..
Coleman calls attention to the
fact that the completion of the
Cochran line has given Pickens-
vile direct connection with Mo-
bile and that some of the trade
of its citizens has already been
diverted to the Gulf City, but
that in the event the new line is
built Columbus will regain this
trade.
1t was further stated by Mr.
Coleman that the people of Pick
ems county feel very kindly to-
ward Columbus. many of then
having relatives and warn
friends here, and he declared
that should the new line be bull
they would be glad to give loca
merchants their patronage.

The nominations of both were

After numerous nominating and
seconding speeches had been
made. the vote was put to the
delegates and the responses on
both cases formed a mighty
chorus of ayes.
During one of the addresses
seconding@ the nomination of

Gov. Johnson arrived at the con-

accept their nominations. Col.
Roosevelt stepped to the plat

Col Roosevelt also paid glowing
tribute to Gov. Johnson, saying:
He is a man fit at the moment
to be president or the United
States the type of man that
should be nominated for vice

After Col. Roosevelt had earn

Columbus made it three
straights yesterday afternoon,
having won the closing game
with Jackson by score of 10 to 4.
AS the score indicates. the
locals had every thing their

one sided to be interesting.

tween Columbus and Jackson at
Lake Park Thursday afternoon
resulted in a victory for the To-
Gals by a score of 5 to l. Red
ding was on the local mound, and
was in great form. IIe held the

the first session, and this, coupled
with an error and q single, en-
abled three Columbiafs to cross
the plate. A trio n hits and
another borgie brork ! e locals
two additional runs b the third.
Jackson made her one run in
the ninth, when Kennedy hit for
two bags and scored on Steele's
single.
The feature of the game was
the base running of the locals,
who purloined no less than nine
bags during the course of as
many innings.
Fridays game was one of the
most exciting of the season. hav'
ing gone to fourteen innings and
having been finally won by the
locals by a score of A to 3. Al

CAMP BREWER SCENE
Of SERIOUS ACCIDENT
BULLET HITS NAN AND WOMAN
Revolver in Hands Of Louis Owen
ExplOdes Prematurely Wound
ing Mrs. Clarence Lance
and LaRue Holloway

A serious accident occurred at
Camp Brewer about five O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, when a bull
let from a prematurely dis
charged revolver in the hands of
Louis Owen. a corporal in COM
pany F of Columbia, struck La
Rue Holloway, another member
of the same company. in the
neck. and then sped on for a
distance of fifty yards and struck
Mrs. Clarence Lance in the hip,
both having been painfully
wounded.
Mrs. Lance was taken to the
Columbus Hospital, while Hollo-
way was carried to the brigade
hospital at Camp Brewer.
1t seems that Owen was toying
with his revolver, and that the
weapon went off accidentally.
The wounds of both Mrs. Lance
and Holloway are considered
rather serious. though it is be-
lieved that both will recover.
The accident is most deplorable,
and a source of regret not only
by Owen but by all the officers
of the camp. 1t is stated on
high authority that Mr.. Owen is
a good steady man.

COLONEL JUPITER PLUVIUS N
COMMAND At CAMP BREWER
Rain IntsTsTss With Program at Rendezvous Of Soldiers
Showers Make Il Impossible TO Give Dress PaTades and
Necssstaes P0spOnemsnt Of MaTch--Other Camp News

Jupiter Pluvius has been in
command Of Camp Brewer dur
ing the last few days. and his
reign (no pun intendei) has
made it necessary to cancel sew
eral events scheduled to take
place in the past and to materially
change plans for the future.
Rain prevented the brigade re-
views scheduled to take place
Thursday and Friday, and also
made it necessary to postpone
the practice march upon which
the troops intended to start
Saturday morning.
In anticipation of the brigade
review scheduled to take place at
five O'Clock Thursday afternoon
a large crowd of visitors assem-
bled at Camp Brewer at that
hour. Just before the clock in
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege, which is situated only a
short distance from the camp
grounds, sounded five rain began
to pour. After the shower had
continued for an hour Col. Van
orsdale called off the brigade re-
view. but promised the visitors
that if they'd come out again
Friday he'd try to give them a
peep at the troops in action. The
weather man was in an i'll humor
again Friday, and in view of
threatening skies Col. Van 0rs-
dale thought it best not to order
out theifull brigade. He didn't
want to entirely disappoint the
visitors, however, so the Second
regiment was sent on the field,
and went through a few man
euvers.
It has not been definitely de-
cided when the practice march
scheduled to begin Saturday will
take place. If the skies are clear
the soldiers will leave Monday,
but their departure depends en-
tirely upon the weather, as the
officers deem it unwise to run the
risk of encountering a rainstorm
while out on a hike, for to do SC
would jeopardize their health.
The practice march is scheduled
to extend over a period of two
days, and will involve a combat,
comwonly known as a sham bat
tie, followed 10y a shelter camr
and individual cooking. The line
of march will be in a northeast
erly direction, toward Steens,
and the entire distance covered
will be twenty miles.

Il have, during the past winter, re-
ceived approximately 100 letters from
farmers in various portions of this
state asking whether there is any
sale for flax straw for the making Of
fiber or other products, and have al
most invariably had to answer h a at
the present time there is no industry
in operation of sufficient magnitude to
justify the baling n shipping of
flax straw any long distance" said
Prof. II. L. Bolley today.
Practically the only use that is
made of the flax straw which is grown
in this state for the production of
seed is that which is made by a few
mills scattered at various points in
the state, each of which has its own
local supply greatly above its needs,
and the use that the average farmer
makes of the straw for feeding pur-
poses. Our correspondence this win
ter on the feeding end of the sub
ject has been very extensive, and we
find that the consensus of opinion,
with few exceptions, is wholly favor
able to ascrfbing a high feeding value
to the thrashed straw whenever it has
been properly saved. Most farmers
consider the straw which has been cut
green, due to late ripening, as superior
to any other type of forage, excepting
only the best prepared types Of hay.
1t is apparent, however, that the
chief value of the straw, viz. the fiber
as produced in America, remains un-
utilized.
Il have stated many times in publica-
tions of the department of botany OF
the North Dakota Agricultural college
and elsewhere that my studies upon
the fax straw as grown in this state
and upon the straw as used in the
manufacture of fiber in other countries
convince me that there is a very large
amount OF valuable fiber material,
valuable to many OF the industries OF
this country which is now allowed to
go to waste in the flax producing dis
tricts of this country.
IT think the experiments as detailed
in our experiment station bulletin No
IL published in 1904. conclusively
prove the correctness of this state
file in this Office, harshly criticizing
me for even mentioning the fact OF
my belief that the fiber which a be
grown in North Dakota and the north
west is OF any value whatsoever.
have been accused OF being one Of
those who ignorantly or otherwise
have made e~xtrayagant claims, FOL
this portion Of the FAX crop upon the
basis OF which a considerable amount
Of i'll advised promoting has beer
done. Whether the promoting feature
has been based upon my statements
Or not has little to 10 with the rea
question whether there is q valuable
product Ia the fax straw OF the north.
west which is now being allowed Il
go to waste.
1T should be taken into account a
this time that though the old methoC
Of taking out the fiber BY hand ar,
too expensive for our type Of labor tx
allow the fiber to be used in compe.
tition with fiber essentially free from
