Mr.. and Mrs. Will Pile were
up from the farm near Radium
Saturday on a shopping trip and
for a visit with relatives and
friends. Will reports that most
OF the wheat out in that neigh
borhood was good. The fields are
threshing cut about 90 bushels
per acre and the quality of the
grain is excellent. Mr.. Pile had
cut large acreage and for the
first time in four years is going

Attorney R. J. McMullen, of
Stafford, was visiting with his
friends and loking after business
matters here the first of the

DR.. EldOn Amend returned
home the first of the week after
spending the last three weeks
looking after the harvesting Of
their wheat crop in southern
Gray county. He and his broth
er have a large farm near Mon
tezuma on which they had a big
wheat crop and are expecting a
heavy yield as the crop was very
fine out in that part of the state.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. F. Hall, Of
Route /, were made very happy
last Friday evening by the arri-
val of a fine baby girl at their
home. The three other children
in the Hall family are all boys
and the arrival of the little Miss
was especially joyful on this
account. Being the only girl and
likewise the youngest in the fam
lily, it is a mighty safe guess as
to who is going to be the dictator
in the household from this time
on for the young lady will doubt
less assert her sovereign rights
as queen of the home.

engaged in interviewing hands
when they have a big crop Of

himself as well pleased with the

would be lost on account Of the
grain going down.
Geo. F. Trump was up from FL

Henry Maybach was in from
the south side Saturday on a bus
mess trip and visit. Mr.. May
bach has made a study of the
business and needless to say has
been successful. He is a strong
advocate of diversified farming
and believes thai the one crop
idea, if persisted in will be the
ruinatiOn of the country. Con-
tinually robbing the soil viii re-
suit in the country going back
wards instead Of forwards and
dairying and other Stock-raisins
must be Sandwiched in with the
wheat raising in order to keep
the soil up to lis proper state of
fertilization.
Peter Rudiger was Ill from
west Liberty township Saturday
on a business trip and visit and
reported that things were getting
pretty dry out that way and that
a good rain was needed for the
corn and fed crops and that the
farmers might get their land
plOwed for wheat. Pete had a
fine young horse cut in a runa-
way during harvest, but says that
the animal is recovering nicely
and will be all right again in a
short time. Pete is one of the big
wheat growers of the west side,
and while he has not threShed
yet, he believes that most of his
wheat will yield in the neighbor-
hood of 20 bushels to the acre.

Opening of The Exchange.

The cotton exchanges Of Ne" Or
leans. New York and Liverpool re-op-
ened last Monday after having been
closed since August on account OF
the European war. Their effect on the
cotton situation win be watched with
interest On this subject the Flcks-
burg Herald well says:
"From the view point Of the cotton
growers there must be some dubIety
whether to accept the rcopening Of the
cotton exchanges as being the occa-
ton for "a feeling Of checrfulncss"
Alone and unaided from any quarter
save a CLEAN Of encouragement oil
greater foreign exports, cotton mas
made advances in price and stability
that were, to say the least, unlocked
for n month or more ago. That II
was more feared that cotton would
touch r cents than so above T. In
the overbalance of supply to available
demand il would be surprising Tor
cotton to make n further advance. AS
there is no condition that the dealers
in futures are more hostile to than
stability, or stagnation, is 1t not 10
be feared that in the present attitude
they will seek to force n decline 10
form n margin for speculation! II Is
this seemingly reasonable appreheh-
sion that causes The Herald to regard
the opening of the exchanges, DOM"
mated as they are in New Orleans ana
New York, by gambling, with DIS
trust.
'If the bears should push cotton
back to the six cent level, from which
IL has been raised by the normal, un-i
manipulated market, they will inyise
enmity to future dealings, and thy ex-
changes. beyond the restrictions the
new fdw -nor yrt-fn effect, pro-
yides. The fact that cotton has SO
well sustained itself without ex-
change facilities, is going to serve as
nm argument against their claims as
a necessity, or benefit to cotton
growers; an argument that, while 1t
may be falacious, will be hard to
satisfy, II reopening of exchanges
should be followed by u decline IN
prices. In othcc words the cotton ex-
change, as beneficial medium for
future buying and selling, is now on
trial as never before, There will also
he a test Of the efficiency of the new
federal law regulating trading in cot
ton futures"

The Meridian Star, whose editor is
usually one of the best informed men
in the State on any subject, in an
article on the Torrens system, men
tions ten States where the system is
in operation, but among them we do
not find Mississippi. The Legislature
at its last session passed an act max
ing the Torrens system effective in
this State, and to our mind IL was one
Of the best acts passed by that body.
The bill was introduced by Representa-
tive b. N. Edens, Of Monroe County,
and passed without much opposition,
As many Of our exchanges, in writing
Of the Torrens system, seem to for
get this fact, we think proper to make
this correction. So far rs we know,
no one has taken advantage Of the act
as yet. but possibly the reason is that
the press Of the State has said so lit

Death of Capt. Burkett.

We noted two weeks ago the fact
that Capt. Frank Burkett had been
stricken with paralysis, and that there
was no hope for his recovery. He
fingered until Wednesday of last week,
when death came to his relief. He was
in the nth year Of his age.
Capt. Burkett has been notable
figure in Mississippi for the past
thirty years. We give the following
brief sketch Of his life, taken from an
exchange:
He was elected a member Of the
Legislature from Chickasaw county
first in 1884 and reelected three
times in succession. Doubtless, even
greater honors would have been be-
slowed upon him by his party had he
not deserted Democracy in the early
nineties to become a Populist.
He was leader of that branch of
Popuism known as the "Middle-of-the
road Populites," and he was credited
with large share in the authorship
Of the famous Ocala platform Of that
now defunct political organization. He
became the nominee for Vice-Presi-
dent in 1892, and in 1895 ran against
the Democratic nominee for Governor
A. J. McLaurin, and polled over H.
600 votes.
Rejoicing in the fact that many
Of the governmental principles he adj
vocated as a Populite had been adopt
ed by the Democratic party. Capt
Burkett returned to the fold after
his defeat for Governor and enthus-
astically supported Bryan for the Pres
idency in 1900. In 1907 he was elect
ed to the House of Representatives
Of the State Legislature, and later be-
came one of the leaders of the "Im-
mortal Seventy-two" who stood for
Vardaman in the secret caucus of 1910.
He was elected to the Senate in 1911,
and was filling that Office at the time
Of his death.
Undoubtedly Capt. Burkett's most
conspicuous service to his State was
rendered as a member of the Consti-
tutional Convention of 1890, when he
actively participated in the framing
of that great document which gave
the white people of Mississippi legal
control of their government and de-
stroyed the negro as a political fac
tor in Mississippi.
He was an ardent advocate then
of the elective judiciary and made a
strong fight for its incorporation in
the constitution, but lost by ma
jority of only one vote. Singularly
enough Capt. Burkitt's opponent on
the floor in the elective judiciary de-
bate was Hon. j. S. Sexton, of Hazel
hurst, who twenty-four years later, as
special judge on the Supreme Bench,
rendered the opinion upholding the
constitutionality of the elective jude
iary amendment.
Captain Burkitt was a devoted and
learned Mason. In 1879 he occupied
the high office of Grand Master of Ma
sons in this State, and was Grand
Commander in 1904.
