sition she found her greatest
pleasure in home life. For many
years she was a devout member
of the Baptist church and OBJ
served the tenets of that faith.
She was an affectionate and de-
voted wife, a true and loyal
friend and a kind neighbor. Her
death brings regrets to a large
circle of friends.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the residence by
Rev. W. L. Duren, who spoke

Meeting

Tuesday night Tupelo Camp,
No. 13O, ". O. W., held a very
interesting meeting.
Three stalwart saplings were
carried through the mysterious
paths of Woodcraft and made
great oaks in the forest of Wood
craft.
After the usual routine of bus
mess was finished the Uniform
Rank of the camp entertained
the Sovereigns present with an
ice cream supper. Everybody
enjoyed this part of the meeting
very much as the degree team,
through its captain, Walton
Tucker, had provided plenty OF
cream. This event was intended
to celebrate the formal presenta-
ton of the charter and commls-
sions to the degree team and OF
ficers of the team. Sow. Iom
Boggan, in a very appropriate
speech, made the presentation.
This was grand night in the
history of Tupelo camp and from
present indications, this camp
will soon be ciassed as one OF tne
most progressive in this part OF
the state ONE PRESENT.

Show Good Farm Products

To the good, wide awake far
mer, we would respectfully ad-
dress this letter, for he is the
man to awaken interest in 9TH
ers. The fair will be better this
year than last. Mr.. Farmer you
are the man to make it go. You
who have good corn, cotton, hay,
potatoes, molasses, peas, soy
beans, velvet beans. kaffir corn,
milo maize, fruits and vegetables.
If you have an article that is good
it becomes a duty to show it and
help some other fellow to pro-
duce good crops. The fair is an
educational institution to teach
by object lessons what can be
done along good agriculture and
live stock lines. When you see
something good it is natural to
want to produce something good
yourself.
The way to have something
good t. exhibit is to begin now
watching your crops, spot the
best, keep an eye on it till it is
matured and harvest it carefully.
1t does not take an unusual fine
specimen every time, but good,
above the average products when
exhibited in quantities make an
extra fine show. Those farmers
who have a quantity of good pro.
ducts should exhibit as farm
display and compete for the SlOO
special prize. Whether you win
or not you show that you are a
wide awake farmer and trying
to improve. Look over the prize
list. See those handsome prizes
offered for single entry products.
Bring a bushel of potatoes, some
fine pears, good corn, sorghum
cane, or anything you may have.
Be a booster for your fair. It's
yours, not ours.

Board of Supervisors Meet.

The Board of Supervisors met
Monday morning with all the
members present. The docket
contained a long list of routine
matters, which were taken up
and disposed of promptly. On
Tuesday afternoon a number OF
the delegates sent by the Board
to the Good Roads Convention at
Meridian, appeared before the
Board and gave them an outline
of the plans for the construction
of the proposed state highways
from Corinth to the gulf. The
Board expressed themselves as
heartily in favor of constructing
the road, and will lend their as
sistance to getting it built
through this county.
An order was passed for the
issuance of an additional $40, 900
of bonds for extending the roads
In the First district A bill of
exceptions will be filed praying
for an appeal from this ordinance
to the Circuit Court, as citizens
of BALDWIN and vicinity object
to a further issuance of bonds in
that district. Baldwyn's ground
of complaint is that that town
will not receive the benefits to
which she is entitled under the
present plan of constructing the
roads. The order, however, does
hot set out just how and where
the additional bond issue will be
expended. The matter Will be
thrashed out in the courts before
the bonds are issued, if they are
issued at all.
The case will be carried to the
Supreme Court. no doubt, re-
gardless of the decision reached
IN the Circuit Court.

Mrs. Robertson Dies.

The announcement on Satur-
day morning last of the death Of
Mrs. Robertson, wife of Mr..
Alan Robertson, on the previous
night caused a genuine regret by
the entire community. But few
knew of Mrs. Robertson's S illness,
and the community was shocked
to learn that she had passed
away. Mrs. Robertson with her
three children only two months
ago joined her husband, coming
from Liverpool, Egland. Mr..
Robertson, one of our cotton
buyers, had been in the United
States couple of years previous
to the coming of his family.
Mrs. Robertson was taken i'll
with appendicitis, and grew
steady worse until her attending
physicians advised that a spec
ialist be called from Memphis,
DR.. Frank Smythe was telephon-
ed for, and came out, but he
reached the bedside short tine
after Mrs. Robertson had expired.
Mrs. Robertson was cultured
English woman and was greatly
admired by the small circle who
had formed her acquaintance
since her short stay in Tupelo.
Her untimely death among
strangers is doubly sad, and her
bere aved husband and little ones
have the deepest sympathy of
every one in the sorrow that has
come to mar their lives. The
funeral services were conducted
Sunday morning at II o'clock
from the Episcopal Church, of.
which the deceased was a
member, by DR.. Waddell, of
Meridian.
DR.. Waddell pictured the real
happiness which awaits us on the
other side, if our lives be pattern
ed after the life of Christ. He
spoke feelingly, and assured the
bereaved ones that a happy re-
union was in store in the great
hereafter.

The Baldwin Fair

The annual meeting of the
Baldwin Fair Association was
opened Tuesday with a good at
tendance and nice attractions for
the four days of the meet. Not
withstanding the hot weather
the crowds were large and the
races were fully up to the classes
of previous years. Some good
stock from over the county were
exhibited, and liberal prizes were
paid the successful contestants.
The farm exhibits were neces
sarily limited on account of the
early date of the opening. Few
exhibits of the crop of the pres
ent year could be placed on ex-
hibition, as but little is ready for
gathering. The displays how
ever of canned goods were ex-
cellent, and fully equal to these
found in our larger fairs. Those
deserving special mention were
Mrs. Buck Morris, Mrs. R. M.
Majors and Mrs. A. w. Caldwell.
The fair closes with the exhibit.

Residence Burned

On Wednesday evening the
residence of Monroe Long, three
miles east of town was consumed
by fire. No one was at home at
the time and Just how it caught
is a matter of conjecture. 1t is
thought by the family that it
was struck by lightning during
the thunder and rain storm that
passed over about six o'clock.
All the household effects of the
family were burned.

White Man Set Fire
to Oakley Cage

vict farm on the night of July
q, when thirty-fve negro con-
victs burned to death, was caused
by white man setting fire to
the wooden cage, and that three
negroes escaped from the burn
ing prison, is the statement made
here today by Will White, an es-
capped negro convict, who was
recaptured at Sumrall, and was
brought here today to tell his
story to Gov. Brewer.
The negro has already told DR..
Gathings, superintendent of the
prison farm, his story and the
name of the white man, but re-
fuses to tell anyone except Gath
ings and the Governor himself
the name of the man he charges
was responsible for one of the
worst holocausts in the history
of the State.
1t is not yet known just what
action will be taken as the result
of the negro's story. The negro
says that fear that his life will
be taken makes him refuse to
tell the name of the white man
except to Gathings and the
Governor.
DR.. Gathings TODAY said that
the white man in question had
frequently applied to him for a
job on the farm, but had been
refused. The theory is that the
man either vengefully be-
cause of his inability to get
the job or seeking a means to
curry favor and land a position
set ira TO the convict cage.
According to Whites story, he
saw this man running from the
same side of the building where
the fire originated when the blaze
was a foot high. The negro says
the man ran by the side of the
hospital building where White
was looking out of the window.
He says the man stayed away
about five minutes and then re-
turned to fire a pistol to attract
attention. He says by that time
the building and cage was
mass of flames. He further says
that he saw three negroes make
their escape at this time from
the blazing cage through an
opening in the rear of the build
ing. He says one of the three
was shot at by a negro trusty.
According to best information
obtainable the man accused by
White had been seen about Oak
ley for several months.
The fire was one of the most
terrible ever known in Missis-
sippi. 1t was discovered shortly
before midnight, and the screams
of the dying men were heard for
two miles, summoning farmers
! in the vicinity to the scene of the
fire. Although two negro watch
men were employed at time both
of them professed to have seen
nothing until the building had
become a mass of flames. After
| the discovery of the fire other
convicts used buckets in a vain
attempt to check the flames, but
the building was soon a heap OF
ashes. Following the holocaust,
DR.. Gathings charged that the
blame for the deaths Of the con-
victs rested upon the members
of the legislature for not provid
| s - IL.
| ing sufficient means to build safe
and proper cages for the pri-
soners.

The following wire from Skagway is an exemplarly mark of appreciation for his efforts:

 "Hon. Arthur Shoup,
 My Dear Sir:
 "The women of Skagway sent you a dispatch last night, but I wish to personally thank you for your efforts in behalf of the women of Alaska. l know every woman here, and they are all in favor of equal suffrage. l am seventy.five years old and have been anxious for this great right since l was fifteen. At that age l heard a boy curse his mother and tell her that she did not know enough to vote. l have been an ardent equal suffragist since that time, I am the happiest woman in the town for know what the right of suffrage means to women and their homes.
 Please thank all the Senators and members for their votes in our favor and tell them that women have never had such a large vote in proportion to it's size in any legislature .S "Very gratefully yours, # "(MRS.) E. c. LeFEVRE,"

NOME ATTORNEY
 PRAISES ORGANIC ACT

Judge B. S. Rodey, United States district attorney at Nome, thinks the organic act under which the Alaska Legislature is working, is an improve ment on the organic acts of the past. He says it gives the legislature wider scope of power, and he expects to see great good come to the terri tory through it.
 Judge Rodey lived in the territory of New Mexico for many years and was Delegate to Congress from that territory for several terms, More re- gently he was judge of the United States district court of Porto Rico. He is now at Seattle. Speaking of Alas ka's organic act to the Post-Intelli- gencer. he said:
 q regard this latest legislative or ganic act as an improvement on the older ones, because, while it restricts the legislative body in the same manner as the older acts, it prohibits the leg islature of Alaska from creating any debt or inspiring any sort of notes or bonds. This putting a new limit to the power of taxation is, in my judg- ment, to be commended.
 "Other than in this particular, the powers of the Alaska Legislature ex- tend to all rightful subjects of legis- lation. It cannot create county form of government except by special leave of Congress. It can permit the organi- zation of corporations for general bus mess purposes, but such corporations as it does permit must do their prin. cipal business in Alaska, so that ter ritory cannot foster the incorporation of trusts, as most of the older terri' tories could and in many instances did.
 Further, it cannot authorize any change in the liquor laws, nor in the laws of the United States against lot teries or gambling, but it is specifcal- ly permitted to adopt woman suffrage if 1t desires. Nor can 1t meddle with the jurisdiction of the district courts of the territory.
 Under it." concluded Mir. Rodey, "the federal government, as now pays all the bills for running governmental activities, and as well the salaries and expenses of this new legislature, but it cannot be said that the powers of the new assembly are choked by con- gressional restrictions, On the con trary, the act giving Alaska legisla- ture, confers on that body wide scope of power, and under it's provisions look to see an immense amount of good accomplished for the citizens of that territory"
