Farm Work That Counts.

Mayor D. w. Robins is bring
ing his great farm, south OF
town. to the front as fast as he
can install the best and latest i'm
plements in farm work. A visit
to his farm the last week afford
ed an opportunity of seeing the
latest in farm implements at
work and, also the advantages to
be gained in labor saving. We
saw two of his men bedding
eight acres of land each day
with Avery's Uncle Sam middle
busters with four mules to each
plow. Another man was run
ming an Avery two-roW stalk cut
ter, with three mules pulling It,
cutting about 20 acres OF corn or
cotton stalks a day; one more
mule being required, but twice
as much work done as a one-roW
cutter would do, and much bet
ter work because of greater
weight-nearly twice as much as
with a one-row cutter and the
draft as light on three mules as
a one-row cutter on two.
We noticed another improved
implement, one of Avery's two
way disc harrows, with four
mules to it, narrowing the land
twice going over it once, cover
ing about ten acres a day.
Another date plow was a
three-mule sulky plow, breaking
land broadcast. cutting a uni
form width and uniform depth
furrow, and completely covering
all vegetable matter.
Mr.. Robins is clearly demon
strating that horse power is
cheaper than mule power, and
labor-saving implements great =
cheaper the cost of producti
To witness the work going on ~

abreast of the times.

Mr.. w. w. Trice received a mes
sage from Tampa, Fla, announc-
ing the death there at Z o'clock
Of his brother-in-law, Mr.. |. w.
Phillips.
While Mr.. Phillips health had
been impaired for more than a
year, his family and friends were
not prepared for the sudden end
ing of his life. Only last fall he
and Mrs. Phillips spent several
weeks here and other points in
North Mississippi, and at that
time it was believed that he was
convalesants and hope was enter
tanned that he would soon be re-
stored to health
The afternoon preceding his
death he was able to go on a
drive over the city in company
with his wife and friends and re-
turned home about 6 o'clock. He
collapsed suddenly and died
shortly afterwards from heart
failure.
Deceased leaves a widow, for
merly Miss Carrie Trice, of
Verona, and the following child

Adrienne Phillips, Miss Eleanor
Phillips, Alfred Phillips and /.

above. Mr.. Phillips leaves a bro
ther. Levi Phillips of Bonneville,
and a sister who also resides in

Mr.. Phillips was reared in AL

young entered the grocery busi-
ness in Corinth. He was sue

business to the wholesale trade

Bonneville where he did large
advancing business, having as
his partners his brother and E.

In 1895 Mr.. Phillips moved
with his family to Tampa and
again entered the wholesale gro
cery business, building up an ex-
Itensive trade. During the war
with Spain his firm secured a
contract with the government
for supplies for the army which
was stationed at Tampa.
On account of his failing health
Mr., Phillips retired from active
business a year ago. In all bus
mess he maintained the conf
dence of the business public and
was recognized in all the walks
of life as the soul of honor. In
the affairs of his town and state
he supported every measure look
ing to the public good and his
counsel was always safe in such
matters. His genial nature, his
hopeful views of life made him
one of the most companionable
of men and the circle of his
friendship was wide and the ties
that bound others to him. were
strong and lasting. He was an
Iindulgent and devoted husband
and father and those nearest him
have sustained an irreparable
loss in their bereavement. Many

Stockholders Gather in First
Annual Session-Successful
Years Busine ss- Banquet
Given Tuesday Night.

The annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Cotton States
Life was held Tuesday afternoon
at the Comus theatre. Presl-
dent E. c.. Kinds called the meet
ing to order and Messrs. j. H.
Ledyard and King of Egypt,
were appointed tellers to assist
Secretary Archer in arriving at
the number of shares present.
A majority of the shares were
represented by proxy but a num-
Der of the stockholders were
present in person to take part IN
the meeting.
The Secretary, Mr. Archer,
was then called on by President
Kinds for his report of the busi-
ness done during the past year.
The Secretary went into detail
and reported under the head of
the various items carried on the
books of life insurance companies
the condition of the affairs of
the company. This statement
showed healthy increase in the
surplus account which is a re-
markable showing for the first
years business of a company.
The amount of insurance in force
was bevond the expectations of
the officers at the beginning of
the year and places the company
on a most substantial footing In
going out after new business.
Practically no forfeitures on pol
ices have occurred and no death
claims during the eleven months
in business have been filed.
More than S100,00000 Of ap-
proved securities have been filed
with the State Insurance Com
missioner which are first class in
every respect. The loans from
the capital stock and surplus ac-
count have been made upon good
real estate, mostly farm lands,
bearing the legal rate OF inter-
est on valuations from 35 per
cent to 40 per cent.
On a recent visit here of the
actuary of the company, Mr.. W.
R. Halliday of Birmingham, Ala,
examined the affairs of the COM
pany and in statement compli-
mented the company upon the
admirable condition in which he
found it's affairs.
President Kinds here called on
the treasurer Of the company, S.
J. High, who made detailed re-
port Of the disposition of the
funds of the company.
The terms of four of the di-
rectors having expired, nomina-
tions were made and the nomi-
nations were UNANIMOUSLY voted
for.

the affairs of the company. En-
tering the executive department
of the company a little over a

IS IT FAlR2

The report few days ago that when a quorum was called for in the lower congress that body could regis, ter but 69 members, did not starte any except that few who keep close watch on affairs. The press com mented on the situation to awaken the people because the roll call was demanded at a time when important national legislation was on tap.
 It is hardly fair to the country that about one-eighta of the membership of congress is acting for congress. We have brought to our close per sona attention this fact. We hap pen to know that there is a certain contingent of "hroad axe" congress- men who are on the job slashing ap- propriation items. They are after an item in the civil suadry bill in which we take much interest.
 We happen to know further that the congressman from this district has worked industriously among his colleagues generally for the support of this item, and that he is prepared to make an unanswerable argument in favor of the item, and to believe that if he had full and complete hearing, the item would stand
 Congressmen generally who are ab- sent are absent through necessity. It is the first law of nature to take care of one's self. The congressman are at home looking to their future in congress. They have opposition for their places. They cannot be gen erally condemned for going to their people and campaigning and report ing on the responsibility they have been entrusted with.
