Urge Passage Bill.

At the regular meeting Of the city
council of Greenville the following
resolution was adopted:
Whereas, we, the members Of the
city council of Greenville view with
great alarm the failure of the United
States senate to pass the river and
harbor bill up to the present date,
and
Whereas, great property interests
are seriously injured and the most
necessary and important river i'm
provement work seriously retarded by
the failure to make the necessary ap-
preparation, and that. too, at a season
of the year when the, most effective
work could be accomplished, and
Whereas, the people not only in our
city. but in the district. and that part
Of the state bordering on the Mis-
sissippi river, look to congress in their
helplessness to assist them at least
in part to bear the tremendous bur-
den of protecting not only their prop
erty, but their very lives against pos
sible floods such as they have expe-
rienced in the past and may expert
ence in the future, and
Whereas. our only occurs in the
matter is to appeal to those who rep
resent us in the UAited States senate
to put forth their best efforts in be-
seeching their confreres in the senate
to unite with them in passing this
most necessary bill; be 1t therefore
Resolved, by the city council of
Greenville. that our senators from
Mississippi, Hon. John Sharp Will
liams and Hon. James X. Vardaman.
be requested to use their utmost en-
deavors to urge the senate to pass the
river and harbor bill, that the people.
not only in Greenville. but In every
part of the state affected by the flood
waters of the Mississippi river, may
feel secure at least in a measure
against a menace which. in the feeble
ness of their resources, they canno
cope with single-handed.

In a half column editorial last week

In a half column editorial last week
the Milton Globe gives the papers
readers a "hunch" as to what is supposed
to be doing in county politics on his
side of the fence. The Globe has it
figured that Senator Plain may have
opposition in the June primaries for the
republican senatorial nomination by
Ole Axvig entering the arena. f. W.
Bleakley it is also intimated will try to
regain the county judgeship from Judge
II. h. Dorval the present incumbent, and
that Jos, Power is a prospective candi-
date to make the race for the county
auditor job. The Globes unofficial
horoscope of local politics doesn't go all
the way down the line but wlnds-up
with a hint that Sheriff Drury will be
in the field against Sheriff Kelland
The forecasts are budding quite early
and there is plenty of time for the boys
to get their campaign vehicles IN the
straight and narrow way hat leads to
the pie counter by the time spring opens
up.

A WIZARD IN MEMORY,
Scott Could Retain In His Mind Any
thing He Heard Once.

scout Couid Retain IN HIS MIND Any
thing He Heard Once.
TO his rare good fellowship and his
powers Of endurance Scott added one
other quality, without which his vigor-
GUS search for literary material might
have been of little use-namely. a most
extraordinary memory. which enabled
him to retain what he heard and use it
many years afterward. James Hogg.
the eccentric Ettrick Shepherd, gives q
fine instance of this power. One night
Scott, with his friends Hogs and
Skene. was out on a fishing expedition.
While we three sat down on the
brink Of a river says Hogg, Scott
desired me to sing them my ballad of
'Gilman's Clough.' Now be it remem-
bered that this ballad had never been
printed. 1 had merely composed it by
rote and on finishing it three years be-
fore had sung it over once to Sir Wal
ter. l began it at his request, but at
the eighth or ninth stanZa 1 stuck in it
verse, on which he began it again and
recIted 1t every word from beginning
to end.
'It being u very long ballad, consist
ing Of lightweight stanzas. l testified
my establishment, knowing that he had
never heard it but once and ever then
did not appear to be paying particular
attention. He said he had been out
with a pleasure party as far as the
opening of the Firth Of Forth and to
amuse the company he had recited
that ballad and one Of Southey's ('The
Abbot Of Aberbrothok'), both Of which
ballads he had heard only once from
their respective authors. and he be-
lieved he recited them both without
misplacing a word."-From Charles S.
Olcott's "The Country Of Sir Walter
Scott"

LONDON "PEA SOUP"
Mists and eogs So Thick That Thoy
Turn Day Into Niqht,

urn Ody III tNtSnCs
London and Londoners have been the
butt of many a good joke. but perhaps
the oldest subject Of the humorist is
the London fog. The mist, which is
commonly called pea soup" dates
back to the seventeenth century. There
are records as far back as that which
indicate that the city suffered even in
those days from mists as intense as
any of those Of today.
In November, 1899. John Evelyn
made a note in his diary to the effect
that there was $50 thick a mist and
fog that people lost their way in the
streets, it being so intense that no
light Of candle or torches yielded any
direction. Robberies are committed
between the very lights which are fix
ed between London and Kensington on
both sides and while coaches and pas
sengers We're passing. 1t began about
4 in the afternoon and was gone by
night. At the Thames they beat
drums to direct the watermen to make
the shore"
Visitors to London in those days
were in the habit Of making fun Of
the fog just as the visitors of today.

Queen Elizabeth's time. said to a friend
who was returning to Spain, My COM
pliments to the sun. whom l have not

In Elizabeth's time the burning of
coal was prohibited while parliament
was in session. SO dense were the
fogs during the years of 1913 and 1914
that when the prince regent tried to
make his way to Hatfield. the home of
Lord Salisbury. he could not find his
way and was compelled to forego the
trip and return to Carlton House,
which he reached after a succession Of

cussion at the January meeting of the

was presented by residents of the
Second Ward living in the South Lang
don addition to the city, south of the
CT. N. tracks. The re-destricting OF the
wards has been agitated at several times
in years past and from the point of a
more equal distribution of representa-
ton has grounds for consideration. The
council appears to desire an expression
of the voters before taking sany definite
step, which is as it should be.
