A Change of Leaders.

Mrs. w. w. Scales. Jr., Of
Starkeville, Miss, who for many
yeas was President of the North
Mississippi Conference Home
Mission Society, and who also
served in that capacity for the
United Societies of that Confer
ence for the past twelve months,
was a most efficient officer, and
her voluntary retirement from
the place of leadership was gen.
eraly regretted. The fine SER
vice which she rendered did
much to strengthen and establish
the woman's work in North Mis-
sississirpi and will not soon be
forgotten.
AS has been announced in our
columns, Mrs. Scales has been
succeeded by Mrs. Victoria
Thompson Hoyle of Tupelo. AS
an Epworth League and Sunday
School worker the new President
has for years been known
throughout Mississippi and be-
yond its borders, and she has
also, amid her other Christian
activities, always taken a deep
interest in the cause of missions.
With a sound religious eXper-
fence, a clear and practical judg.
ment, the gift of impressive pub
lie speech, and an uncommon
force of personality, Mrs. Hoyle
may be expected to make her in
fluence strongly felt among her
worthy fellow-workers in the
Magnolia State.
We do not believe that if the
women of North Mississippi had
had the privilege of selecting
from the entire connection they
could have found a more capable
leader, and we heartily congratu-
late them upon the choice that
t2-
they have made.-N. O. Christ

Mrs. Sallie Richey.

Was born Aug. 2, 1880, died
May 8, 1913, at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. O. L. Kennedy,
of Saltillo, Miss.
She was the last of one Of the
oldest families in this section,
her father, Stephen w. Smith,
having moved from Tennessee to
this state in 1889.
At the aye of sixteen she was
married to Mr.. ]. G. Thompson.
His death a few years later left
her heart-sore and with the care
of the four small children that
had come to bless this union.
In 1880 she was married to
Mr.. Robert Richey. Again in a
few years death robbed her of a
good and kind husband.
She professed Christ in early
life and became a member of the
Methodist church in which she
remained a CONSTANT and loyal
member. She was a woman of
fine mental powers, possessing
enduring patience and fortitude.
With it all she was modest and
refined. gentle and kind, loving
and true.
She bore her illness uncom

attention. Everything that low

do was done for her.
For many years her home was

Crop Conditions.

The first report of the con-
dition of the cotton crop as is
sued by the Commercial Appeal
on Monday shows an increase in
acreage over the entire belt OF
3 per cent. The condition as
compared to normal is 829 per
cent. The early spring has
made it possible to get the crop
in many sections from two to
three weeks earlier than usual.
In fact the season is the best we
have experienced in the past ten
years. Preparation of the soil
was never better and perfect
stands should have been oE-
tanned. Heavy rains, however,
following the planting delayed
the plant and only during the
last few days has the plant
shown a good stand.
In Texas the acreage increase
is 5 5 per cert with a condition
of SO. This is the best reported
condition.
Louisiana gets back into the
business after the boil weevil,
showing an increase of 20 per
cent and condition of 80. Mlssis-
sippi shows an increase OF l
per cent with a condition of 50.
Alabama shows a decrease in
acreage of l per cent with a con-
dition of 70. Georgia shows the
worst condition of any of the
states with a decrease Of 4 per
cent and a condition of u. The
latter state has been holding
second place in the number of
bales. but unless conditions i'm
prove greatly, the state will fall
far below the average.

ever, reports do not indicate
what the result will be.

Warning Against Typhoid.

The following warning against
typhoid fever was received yes
terday by DIR. T. c. Graves,
physician in charge of the Coun-
ty Board of Health.
The writer is DR.. R.. @. Lillard,
secretary sand executive officer
of the State Board of Health.
He says:
the reports to this office,
with the approach of spring and
summer months, bring an in
crease in the number of cases of
typhoid fever in Tennessee.
Il m writing you to insist that
in your official capacity you in
augurate a cleanup campaign in
your county, as this disease is
preventable by sanitary measur-
es. It's eradication should be
one of the principal duties of the
local authorities, and where ty-
phoid assumes an epidemic form
would respectfully suggest that
you use vaccination as a pre-
ventive.
THE disease is an infectious
or communicable disease, caused
solely by a specific germ, and
the neglect to recognize it as
such often results in it's spread
ing through families and is very
frequently the cause of an cpl
demic. This often comes about
by throwing the excreta from
the typhoid cases upon the
ground before having first been
disinfected. This excreta may
be washed by rains into a nearby
we'll or stream from which peo-
Pile are supplied with water; or
it may gain entrance to the body
through food or milk with the
germ; or by flies carrying the
germs and depositing them upor
the food.
"As the laity becomes more
enlightened along sanitary lines
the fewer deaths we will have
due to typhoid fever. Where
the disease is prevalent to any
extent | would suggest the i'm

The Uplift in Cotton Handling.

1t is notorious that cotton has
been the most slovenly handled
of all of the agricultural
products of the United States.
The farmers often leave it ex-
posed to be damaged by the rain
infiltrated by mud. Even when
offered for shipment it is some
times in this condition. All too
frequently it is loosely baled and
inadequately marked. 1t has
been said that upon receipt at
foreign ports bales of cotton look
more like rag-bags. For many
years the railways have sought
to have the cotton shippers ex-
ercise greater care, but the rail-
ways in this country have no
such autocratic power as those
of Germany, where no shipment
is accepted unless 1t is packed
and marked in accordance with
rigid specifications. Government
experts have estimated that OF
the cotton crop of the United
States there is between the gin
and the spinner a wastage and
damage amounting to $50, 600, 600
per annum.
The Japaneses several years
ago ruled that they would not &C
cept cotton that was not clean,
securely packed and plainly
marked. They get what they
want. The possibility of losing
the custom of a nation makes a
difference. The transatlantic
lines who in recent years have
been mulcted in heavy damages
because of the poor condition in
which cotton has been delivered
to foreign consignees have now
taken action that will re-enforce
the efforts of the railways. From
September l, 1912 to March 81,
1913 on the average one bale OF
cotton out of every six offered al
the South Atlantic and Gulf
ports was condemned; one bale
out of every ten was improperly
marked. Beginning July l, 1915
their requirements will be more
rigid; higher charges will be ex-
acted for cotton loosely baled.
The railways in the cotton
growing regions are therefore re.
doubling their efforts with cotton
compressors, cotton glnners,
farmers and shippers. When
those concerned in cotton grow,
ing and shipping find that shift.
lessness reacts upon their pock-
etbooks it is probable that a bet
ter order of things will come
about. Not only the money but
the good will of the foreign con-
sumner is worth while, especially
in these times when he is en-
deavoring to stimulate the growth
of cotton in other countries than
the United States. Bureau of
