REGAINS int LECT
AFTER EIGHT YEARS

Philadelphia, Pa, March 12.-After
complete loss of memory eight years
ago, Professor Mark Walrod Harring-
ton, formerly Director of the United
States Weather Bureau and an as
tronomer of note, is at last recovering
his intellect. Mrs. Harrington said
he is competent to conduct his bust
ness affairs and had in many respects
become normal.
A strange feature of the case is Mr..
Harrington's newly discovered love of
music. Although in his former life he
knew nothing of it, he is now, at the
age of Sc, devoting all his energies to
the study of the piano, harmony and
allied subjects. 1t is thought that
the parts of his brain which were de-
veloped most fully received the sever
est setback at the time of his acct
dent, and the subject of which he
knew least therefore was the one most
susceptible of development Prior to
his accident he had taught almost
every scientific course in college cur
riculums.

GOODS At CONN0R'S
Store SACRIFICED
GEORGE H. HOLLAND, OF MEM
PHIS IN cHARGE-WlLL SELL
STOCK AT LOW PRICES.

The executors of the estate of w.
M. Conner having determined to dis
pose of the mercantile business of
that estate as speedily as possible,
have secured the services Of George
H. Holland, of Memphis, Tenn, known
as "Dixies Daring Price Maker and
Bargain Giver" and have instructed
him to sell the remaining $4,000
worth of merchandise
These instructions authorized Mr.
Holland to make such prices as would
absolutely insure the sale of the stock
by the putting on of such prices that
people would buy not merely because
they needed and had to have the
goods, but because the bargains are
so unusual it is economy to buy ahead
The sale is to start Saturday.
Mr.. Holland says a study of the
prices on goods displayed in the show
windows of the Conner store next
door to the First-National Bank Of
Commerce will convince anyone thai
he means what he says when he
states that goods in this store will
be sold without regard to cost Oh

PACKING PLANT

ING OPERATIONS AT IMPoR-
TANr NATcHEz INDUSTRY

Natchez, Miss, March 12.-It was
announced today by parties in posi-
tion to know that all details Incl
dental to the transfer of the plant of
the Natchez Packing Co. to the Mis-
sissippi Packing Company had been
closed to the satisfaction of both par
ties. This fact being true, it is ex-
pected that the new owners of the
plant will lose no time in arriving on
the ground to take steps to put the
plant in operation.
The closing of the deal has been
delayed for some time on account of
the multitude of details and technical
tiles necessary for the merging of one
corporation into another. 1t was nee
essary for a multitude of papers to be
made out, endless correspondence and
other details. Each party to the trans
action had points to be considered by
the other and all this required time.

method of publishing the statistics of
cotton was announced today by Direc-
tor Harris, of the census bureau, and
will be effective beginning with the
next report on March 20. Informa-
ton as to the production of linters.
however, the director states, will be
given in foot note so that compare
tive figures may be computed on the
basis of reports in previous years. In
explaining why he regards the change
desirable, Director Harris said;
1.-The annual reports on the quantity
of cotton ginned have heretofore in
cluded the quantity Of linters OBJ
tanned by the oil mills. Formerly
there was only a comparatively small
quantity of Iinters obtained and they
we're of such a grade as could be used
to some extent for the same purposes
as were the lower grades of cotton.
Many of the oil mills now have in
stalled machinery for the closer de-
limiting of the seed. This has resulted
in a large increase in the total quaint
ty of linters produced each year and
at the same time in lowering the aver
age quality of the fiber, so that now
only a small part, If any, is used as
a substitute for lint cotton"
