VETERANS HOLD ANNUAL REUNION
Twenty-Five Hundred Assemble at
DeKalb,

Scooba.-The Confederate veterans Of
Kemper county held their annual reunion
in DeKalb on Thursday and Friday.
About so veterans were in attendance.
The annual address was delivered by the
Hon. H. R. Stone of Meridian. 1t was
strong, forceful and full of patriotism
and was approximately received by the
immense gathering. The speaker is a
son of a veteran and was thoroughly en-
Unused, inspiring his hearers of the un.
daunted bravery and matchless courage
of the Confederate soldiers. Twenty-Five
hundred people or more gathered for the
occasion.
The Daughters Of the C~onfederacy have
a chapter organized in this county, and
the exercises on Thursday evening were
held under the auspices Of this auxiliary.
A Sons of Veterans camp will be organ
lied, in readiness for cooperation by the
next annual gathering of the veterans.
Delegates were selected to attend the
state reunion, to be held in Greenwood
on Oct. 9, 10 and II.

MADE RULES FOR COMPOSERS
Frederick the Great, Talented Mush
clan Himself, AaId Down I'M
peratIVe Orders.

Frederick the Great was the most
distinguished musical amateur Of his
age, and his position gave him the
power to regulate the style of COM
position employed by the musicians OF
his period. For instance, he made the
following rules to be followed by ope-
ratio composers: All the principal
singers must have big arias and differ
ent in character. as an adagio aria.
which must be very cantabile to show
OF to good advantage the voice and
delivery Of the singer; in da capo the
artist can then display her art in
embellishing variations; then there
must be an allegro aria with brilliant
passages, a gallant aria, a duet for tho
first male singer and the prima donna.
IN these pieces the big forms OF meas.
ure must be used SO as to give pathos
to the tragedy; the smaller forms Of
time, such as two-four and t~hree-eight.
are for the secondary roles, and for
these a tempa minuetto can be writ
ten. There must be the necessary
changes Of time, but minor keys must
be avoided In the theater, because
they are too mournful."

COUNTRIES YET UNEMPLOYED

Perhaps one Of the most interesting
and least known countries on the face
Of the globe and one which has, so far,
pretty successfully defed civilization
lies secreted among the Himalaya
mountains.
1t is presided over entirely by wo-
men, who are responsible for such
rude laws as are necessary even In a
lawless district. manage the AFFAIRS Of
state, and live in a luxury Of inverted
Mormonism by possessing four or FIVE
husbands apiece. All the rough tasks
and mental labors are assigned to the
hillmen. and mere man" Is of small
account beside these Himalaya anna
IONS.
On a rough estimate, It is declared
that 1000, 900 square miles. Or one
eighth Of the total land surface Of the
world are waiting to be discovered.
Some 200, 900 Of this lies In the Arctic
regions of the north, but among the
frozen tracts that form "Antarctics"
in the south, where Scott and his gal
liant followers we're penetrating. near
ly 1000, 900 square miles are delegated
to the sole use Of the whale, penguin
and other animals and birds Of the
frozen one
In Arabia 1t seems that there IL a
tract Of land unexplored which is nea
ly five times as large as Great Britain.
Probably there Is no more desolate
waste to be found In the entire globe
than that which is called the dwell
ing Of the void" Not a single river
Is estimated to flow throughout its en-
tire 400, 900 square miles.
Although the famous Ell Dorado,
Peru, which set the Sixteenth century
ablaze, has never been unearthed. the
country might fittingly be called ri
Dorado, from the rich minerals and
priceless stones which emanate from
there. Strange, wild-eyed men cca
sionally descend from the mountains
and bring wonderful fragments with
them. But they refuse to act as guides
to those who would accompany them
back.
1t Is curious to realize that vast
parts Of the British empire have never
been seen by British eyes or the eyes
of any white man. Nearly a quarter Of
Australia is still UNEMPLOYED, mainly in
the west, where the population aver
ages only mi person in every 20
square miles.
New Guinea has baffled countless
expeditions, though many are trying
to fight their way inland from the
coast.

~Japanese Courtesy.

A country where courtesy Is a busf
ness, and business but a gentle av0-
cation, reflects its popularity in the
most trifliug details of conduct. Such
a country is Japan and such a detail
recently came into notice when q city
electric bureau of Tokyo asked the
patrons of its street car lines how
they preferred to be addressed when
1t was necessary to urge them to
move up" Out of the 2,719 sugges-
tons sent in the Independent selects
and translates six, az follows:
sThose not getting off, to the mid
die, pleased"
"The middle is more comfortable!"
I'm sorry, but all move on by one
strap"
There's a pretty girl about the
middle Of the carl"
"A pickpocket has just come Oh
board!"
The municipal authorities frowned
somewhat upon the last three sugges-
tons. but the conductors will be
taught to use some of the other forms.
Is 1t possible that the Japanese hope
to enjoy an efficient traction service
on such terms? Apparently they hope
to, and we pass along the Japanese
idea as a helpful hint to the gentle
nen who jerk a gong on the real Of
our own street cars.

TEXAS HAS ONLY "DoGARoo"

The city Of San Antonio, Texas,
boasts Of being the home Of the only
"Dogaroo' IN the world, or at least the
only one in captivity. The animal has
puzzled both Mexican and American
naturalists. The "Dogaroo" In owned,
and was brought from Mexico, by Don
Manuel Rodriguez, a former Mexican
lieutenant under General Madero in the
Mexican revolution. "Brijida," as the
animal has been named, resembles q
dog in that she barks and wags her
tail, and her short front legs and large
stout hind legs bear similarity to
those of a kangaroo. A pouch under
meath the animals abdomen resembles
the pocket in which the female kan
CARGO carries its young. The vegeta-
rian habits, typical Of the Australian
kangaroo, are missing and the animal
eats the same food as the ordinary
Mexican hairless dog. being exception
ally fond Of enchilados and tortillasI
The freaks mother Is q full blooded
Mexican dog. Its father Is unknown.
Its mode Of locomotion Is akin to that
OF a kangaroo.

BANK NOTES THAT SPEAK

An English bank-note expert has
recently invented a method that will
insure the paper currency Of that
country against forgery.
The principle Of this invention lies
In the application to the edge of a
bank-note Of a pictorial record Of
some specially arranged phrase. A
bank-note 80 provided would, when
placed in a photograph, reproduce this
phrase for the benefit of the bank
manager or the person disputing the
genuineness Of the note.
Assume that the code phrase for a
f5 note Is "G5 note" This would be
extremely unlikely, but would serve to
illustrate the point. A pictorial record
Of the oscillations produced during the
utterance Of the phrase would be made
and a die cut capable Of reproducing
the peculiar wave lines. With this die
the edge Of 95 notes would be per
forated. The note then becomes, in
addition to a unit n currency, a phono-
graphic record Of its own genuine
ness.

WITH BULLET IN
HEART, KILLS FOE
DIR. H. F. BRoYLES AND E. F. HEN
Dirk DIE IN DUEL.
z. F. Hendrix, a Tennessean, Having
Bought Timber Rights From Dr..
Broyles, Disagreement Caused
Ill Feeling.

Amory.-In a personal difficulty at
Greenwood Springs between DR.. H. F.
Broyks and L. +. Hendrix, both parties
were killed. The trouble arose between
them about Z a. n. and the encounter
which resulted in their death about 5
o'clock. Mr.. Hendrix bought a saw mill
outfit and a lease from DR.. Broyles six
or seven years ago at Greenwood
Springs. III feeling has existed between
them for several years growing out of
the rights Chained in the lease. Tues
day morning Mr.. Hendrix had given
some one a load of manure from his OK
barn, to get it out of the way, to which
Dr.. Broyles objected, and they had some
words about it, DR.. Broyles going to his
store and Mr.. Hendrix returning to his
mill.
A short while afterwards DR.. Broyles
passed the mill with an ak on his shout
der and one of his employs with a shovel.
Some one informed Mr.. Hendrix that the
doctor was up above the mill on the
creek cutting the dam that held water
which was conveyed to the mill through
piping.
Mr.. Hendrix shut down the mill anil
took two mill hands with him and
remarked, 81 want you to 60 with me 70
see that | am not going to hurt the doc
cor, but to forbid him cutting the dam
and injuring my property" On arriving
at the bridge and dam, which is about
100 yards north of the saw mill, the
doctor advanced on Mr.. Hendrix, saying:
"Get off my land, get off my land!" and
advanced to only a few feet Of Hendrix
with the ak in his hands.
Mr.. Hendrix drew a .32 caliber revolver
and fired, the ball passing through the
doctors heart, but before he fell he
struck Hendrix on the head with the ak,
telling him to the bridge floor, on which
they were standing. DR.. Broyles, falling
to his knees, continued to strike Mr..
Hendrix with the ak four or five times.
Mr. Gray, one of the mill hands,
stepped over to the doctor and took him
by the arm, saying: doctor, you have
killed him already" The doctor remark
ed: eyes, and he has killed me" at the
same time falling over on the floor and
expired in a few minutes.
The tragedy is deplored by the whole
community

CONNECTING LINK IN
STATE INVESTIGATION
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE RUNS
DOWN HEARSAY EVIDENCE.
Accountant Louis E. Crook of Meridian
Submitted Results Of Investigation
at the A. and NJ. Monday.
State University Next.

Jackson.-Rain and stormy weather
interfered with the work of the legisla-
tive investigating committee, which is
probing the public institutions here. Sew.
eral witnesses who were wanted by the
committee to testify concerning condi-
tions in the state institutions under in
Yestigation failed to appear on account
of the weather. The result was that
only a few witnesses were examined.
Nothing of an important nature was elic-
tied from their evidence, practically all
of their testimony being of a hearsay ma
ture.
The committee takes hearsay testi.
mony and follows it up by summoning
the parties who gave the witnesses in
formation. In this way rumors and re-
ports about Irregularities are run down.
The hearsay testimony made it necessary
to issue a new batch of subpoenas for
the parties whose names were furnished
by the witnesses.
The members of the committee spent
the greater part of the day checking over
the accounts and in reading the steno-
graphic record of evidence taken, with
the view of looking for missing links"
in the chain of testimony, so that the
links can be supplied by summoning
the proper witnesses.
Accountant Louis E. Cook of Meridian,
who audited the books of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College, submitted
his final report to the committee Mon.
day. Mr.. Crook was then sent to Ok
ford to audit the books and accounts of
the State University. It is quite prob
able that Mr.. Crook will be ordered to
Clarksdale and Greenville to check up
the two levee boards when he finishes
his work at the university.

RICHEST SPOT IN CANADA

blocks on King street, between Yonge
and Bay streets. and including the cor
ners Of these two cross streets, which
composes the richest strip Of property
in Canada. The land alone In these
two blocks is worth, on an approxi
mate estimate, SIG 200, 900, while the
buildings are worth $4,000 New
structures to cost $500, 900 have been
started, or will be under construction
this year. Thus, including the natural
advance in land values that may be

INSTRUMENTATION H. K. Broyles, who
was killed in a duel at Greenwood
Springs, was a picturesque figure in
Mississippi politics. He served in both
branches of the Legislature for several
years, and at the time of his death rep
resented the Thirty-eighth senatorial dis
trict in the state senate. "The news of
Senator Broyles' death is a shock to
me-" said Gov. Brewer. 81 served in
the legislature with Senator Broyles and
we were always warm friends" The
death of Senator Broyles creates a va

be filled by election. The governor will
probably fix the date of the election for
some time in November.
