Mississippi Archaeology
By Calvin S. Brown. Professor OF
Modern Languages and
Literature.

Mississippi is one of the leading states
in the investigation and preservation OF
historic records; yet but little has been
done in the study of its Indian remains.
! Almost every part of the State was
| either inhabited by Indian tribes or
used as hunting grounds for them.
| Their remains are everywhere encount-
cred in the form of mounds and graves,
and in the artifacts which they have
left. such as arrow-heads. spear-heads,
stone hammars, axes, beads, grinders,
pipes, banner stones, perforators. dis
| coidal stones, and pottery. Some OF
the mounds are very large and some OF
the graves yield interesting finds.
Several good collections of archeoiogl-
cal material have been made, yet much
remains to be done. Unfortunately
some of the best material has already
been taken out of the State before our
own museums are supplied.
The Peabody Museum of Cambridge,
Massachusetts, has done some excavat-
ing in Coahoma County and has pub
lished a record of its work. Mr.. Clar-
ence B. Moore of Philadelphia has writ
ten a valuable book entitled Certain
Mounds in Arkansas and Mississippi
The Mississippi Historical Society has
also published several brief papers re-
lating to the ancient inhabitants.
1t is hoped that in the future We
shall take more interest in the preser-
walton of these prehistoric remains and
in their accurate and scientific study.
No important mounds or other signifi-
cant archaeological works should be
ruthlessly destroyed, and none should
he opened except by trained investiga-.
tors. The University of Mississippi
will be glad to have notes on mounds,
enclosures, and other remains, and on
all collections in the State.

SCHuMANN-HEINk REVIEW.

In a current number of a musical
magazine is an advertisement OF
Schumann-Heink which declares that
she is the greatest box office asset In
the world Topeka did its best to
verify the statement Thursday night.
when it filled the Auditorium with an
audience to hear the prima donna who
comes nearer, perhaps. to the popular
ideal of a singer, both as musician and
woman, than any other idol of the
concert stage. Her prestige is part
of the drawing power for the public,
but having persuaded the public to
come, she gives 1t pleasure to the
highest degree of her wonderful abil-
ity, either in simple or difficult music,
according to what she thinks that pub
lie wants. She has been in Topeka a
number of times before. and each time
she is welcomed with added en-
thusiasm.
The years have demanded slight
tribute of Madame Schumann-Heink's
marvellous voice. so far as one may
judge by last nights numbers, and the
rich sorority of her cOntralto is full
and sustained. Her musicianship Is
of the highest order, and freshness and
vitality still thrill through the warm
beauty of her voice. Her songs are de-
livered with instrumental accuracy
wide range of emotion that belongs to
artistic maturity. Through a careful
observation of her methods and its
results. one discovers how technical
mastery can become the servant Of
mood.
The program last night included
large share Of German numbers. This
was natural enough, considering that
the singer is herself a German. Still.
in the face of conditions abroad and
the attitude of Americans toward the
German nation, it seemed something
like a challenge to consider the un-
rivaled beauty in literary and musical
art which that nation has given to the
world. 1t has little to do, Of course,
with a spirit of aggression of which
that country stands accused in this
part of the world, yet it might have
been a loyal woman's way of seeking
to temper the prejudice she meets
against her home land. At all events
she sang the German songs with I'M
mistakable feeling, and after Hugo
VOLTS "Heimweh," the lines of which
were sung with dramatic intensity, the
singer turned her back to the audience
minute for artist and audience.
AS to the program in general, it
seems to have been planned with the
idea that as the prices were popular.
the audience would be made up Of the
uncritical and the unlettered in mat
tiers musical. The only selection of the
evening that in any way tapped the
resources of the singer was the Ar
diti number. "Bolero.'' The exquisite
trills and the staccato work in the
piece, give a glimpse of what Schu-
mann-Heink was capable of doing.
Other numbers from the classics were
an aria from the opera Titus by Mo-
Fart, a sustained and somewhat mas
sively constructed recitative and aria

army in France is rested, reftted
and REINFORCED for the next great
battle, according to an announcement
last night by Lord Kitchener. In a
statement based on reports from Sir
John Frehch, commander of the
British expeditionary forces, the Sec
rotary says that the British, after
struggling against tremendous odds,
retired TO a new line Of defense
where they have not been molested
since Thursday. Their casualties are
between 5000 and 5000. Since the
fighting ceased the French on the
right and left have brought the

suburban towns, such as Neuilly,
Versailles, Vincennes and sweep ev-
cry approach to the city. 1t is as
sumed that the Governors orders is
intended to clear the way in front of
these defenses, that no protection
will be afforded an advancing enemy.
The order probably applies also to
the outer circle of the city's triple
line of defenses. These are the most
modern of the forts. They are built
of steel and masonry and known to
be equipped with the heaviest guns
of the famous French artillery, al
though details as to their armament
have been closely guarded. They
are located among the hills, however,
and while it may be necessary to
destroy numerous buildings in order
to open the country to the fire of
their guns, it is thought the destruc-
ton will not be of such wholesale
proportions as in the case of the Sec
ond line forts which are embedded
among costly dwellings and thriving
towns.
Something Of the magnitude of
the defenses Of Paris is shown by es-
Inmates that only an army of half a
million men could hope to invest
them and cut them off from the out.
side world. Some of the forts still
bear the names under which they
resisted the German assaults in 1870,
but they have been remodeled and
newly equipped many times, as the
science of gunnery progressed, and
today are considered by military eX-
perts among the strongest defense
works in the world. The two outer
lines are so placed that each fort has
a cross.fre over the territory swept
directly by the guns of adjoining
forts. The result is to make attack
ers face fire from both TANKS as well
as the front in advancing on any
position.

At the H. B. NJ. A. Meeting
Held Friday Night,
Aug. Is.
COMMITTEES ARE NAMED.
To Take Up Several Import
ant Branches of New
Work.

Friday night at the regular meet
ing Of the Hopkinsville Business
Mems Association, a protest was
made against the change, recently
announced, made by the L. & N.
Railroad increasing the freight rate
on cabbage, potatoes and other veg
etables and green groceries. This
change will take effect Sept. /. The
increase will raise the rate from
Nashville to Hopkinsville from 26
cents to 80 cents and from Evans
vile to Hopkinsville from q cents to
SO cents.
President r. E. Cooper appointed
as a committee to take the matter up:
Messrs. T. E. Wyatt, w. r. Wheeler
and Sec. Bleich. The committee
will first protest to the L. & N. Off
cials and then if necessary take the
matter TO the Railroad Commission.
President Cooper. who had been in
Washington comforting with Gov
eminent officials there, explained the
manner in which the government
will make loans on tobacco.
The Fox Bros. Company was asked
by the H. B. NJ. A. to rebuild their
plant and again open their creame-
ry. The Company was doing big
business and the influence of its bust
ness was largely felt in the town and
in the county.
! A. H. Eckles was appointed as
Chairman of a committee to confer
with the city council in reference to
having the L. & N. Railroad place
gates at certain dangerous crossings.
1t was also announced at the meet
ing that large Iron Foundry, from
Indiana, is contemplating opening up
here and is investigating the suita-
bility of this locality for such an en-
terprise. Secretary Bleich is making
every effort to secure this enterprise
for Hopkinsville. Such a concern
would help materially in the prog
ress Of the city.
