ALLEGED PLOT TO BLACEEN CHARACTER OF

Mr.. J. H. RHODES PASSES
AWAY At A RIPE OLD AGE
Died at the Home Of his Daugh-
ter, Mrs. +. d Taylor, Thurs
day Morning.

Mr.. Joseph II. Rhodes died at
the home of his daughter Mrs,
+. B. Taylor, No. 1923 North 2nd

having resulted from uremic
poisoning.
Mr.. Rhodes had outlived the
allotted three-score-and-ten years
of mankind. having been eighty
two years old at the time of his
death. He was a man of temper
ate habits, and to this fact his
longevity is largely attributable.
His advanced age naturally kept
him from participating in the ac-
tivities of life, but he possessed
a genial disposition, and was
highly esteemed by those who
knew him.
The funeral occurred at the
Taylor residence at ten O'Clock
Friday a.m,having been conduct
ed byRev, w. w. Woodland, pastor
of the First Methodist church,
who was assisted by Rev. j, N.
Harker, pastor of the Christian

Proves Story False.
BREWERS FRIENDS JUSTLY INDIGNANT
The Issue, Jackson Newspaper,
and Boyce 4 Co. Said to Have
Originated Scheme.

An alleged plot to blaeken the
character of Governor Brewer
has fallen flat.
The alleged plot is disclosed in
an article appearing in recent
issue Of The Pitchfork. a weekly
paper published in Dallas. Texas,
the article in question having
been written by c. NJ. Picard, a
member of the staff Of that pa
per.
According to Picard, he was
informed that he could get a SEN
sational story regarding alleged
immoral conduct on the part of
the governor by visiting Jackson.
and he accordingly went there
for the purpose of ascertaing the
facts, with the view of writing
them up for his paper. The spe-
cific charge made against the
governor was that on his recent
trip to England he was accom-.
panied by a lewd woman, and
Picard was informed that the
evidence which he desired could
be secured from Tie Issue. a
weekly newspaper published in
Jackson. in which Lieutenant
Governor Theodore Bilbo and
Mayor S. ]. Taylor are interest
ed. Upon applying at the Office
of the Issue. Picard was told that
the information was in the
hands of Boyce & Company, the
Memphis cotton firm implicated
in alleged irregular purchases of
cotton from the Mississippi
state farms, and, armed with a
letter of introduction from G. c.
Smith, deposed president of the
Mississippi penitentiary board.
went to the Bluff City to contin-
ue the investigation.
Picard states that Boyce &
Company, through their Mr..
Wilkinson, offered to contribute

evidence, and especially in going

with a man named c. X. King.

Mississippians Won Football
Game at Fair Grounds Fri
day by Score of 81 to 0.
.OUTPLAYED OPPONENTS
Showed Superiority Not Only in
Strength but in knowledge
of the Game.

Outplaying their opponents at
every point, the football team of
the Mississippi A. and NJ. Col
lege achieved an easy victory ov.
er the team of the Central Ken
lucky University at the fair
grounds Friday afternoon, hav-
ing won the game by a score of
81 to O.
The game was witnessed by a
tremendous crowd. The entire
student body Of the A. and Nj.
College came over from Stark
vile on a special train, and
brought their band with them.
The aggregation paraded the
streets just priorto the game,and
the handsome appearance pre-
sented by the young men caused
many a female heart to flutter.
The young ladies of the Indus
trial Institute and College at
tended the game in a body, and
the vast throng was augmented
by the presence Of many visit
ors from various surrounding
towns.
The Aggies showed superiority
over their opponents in both
strength and skill. The Missis-
sippi an are not only much heav-
ier and stronger than the Ken
tuckians, but have them outclass-
ed in technical knowledge re-
| gardnig the points u tlie game.
| They have been trained by Bill
| Chadwick, ,oneof the best football
coaches in the South, and the
victory achieved Friday after
noon is due as much to his eff
cheney as a coach as to the Prov
ress of the participants.
The Kentuckians were forced
to play defensive game through
out. In the first quarter the Ag-
gies kicked off, but Kentucky
failed on downs, and the ball
went over. By series of line
plays the Mississippians made a
touchdown. the score standing
6 to 0 in their favor ut the end of
the quarter.
In the second quarter Kentucky
attempted to work the double
pass. but failed, neither team
having scored during the quar-
ter. In the third quarter the
Aggies made two touchdowns
and a goal, making the score 10
to @ IN their favor.
Long end runs by the Aggies
featured the fourth Quarter, bril-
liant dashes of from thirty to
forty yards having been made
by Potter, Wells, Baker and Kin
ney. Two touchdowns were
made during the last quarter,
making the total score 81 to 0
in favor Of the Aggies.
Special features of the game
were toe kick by Potter, and
fine work on the lines by Near
thur, Wells and Stansel of the
Mississippi team, the latter be-
ing a Columbus boy. Coleman
and Tulsey did splendid work for
Kentucky.

IMPORTANCE Of SEED

The seed Is of the greatest import
ance. It would be we'll II the grower
would always select his seed in the

vigor of the vines as well as the size
Of the tubers. One should select for
seed, potatoes of medium size. They
should be cut 30 q to give q good-sized
seed piece having on an average two
strong buds. Selecting seed and cut.
ting it thus should require in the
neighborhood of Is bushels of seed per

they ootained the most profitable re
turns.
In several Of the bulletins on petato
culture there 10 considerable space de-
voted to the relative productivity OF
