Truck Growers Meet Saturday

The Truck Growers Association
will meet at the court house at
10 o'clock Saturday morning to
take such further steps as can
be done at this time to determine
just when and what crops should
be planted this year. Mr.. Adair,
an experienced potato grower of
Bonneville, has been invited to
be present to talk over matters
of interest with the members,
and everybody who can should
be present.
The question of profitin potato
growing has been settled by 9TH
er communities in the affirmative
and our people should by all
means plant from 25 to so acres
of sweet and Irish potatoes for
market. There is hardly chance
to lose money on either crop and
at this time many of our farmers
are in need of changing the old
time policy of cotton raising.
The public is invited to attend
this meeting.

Chancellor Kincannon

For the first time in quite a
while Chance lor A. A. Kincan-
non, formerly chancellor of the
University and now superintend-
ent of the city schools of Mem
phis, made US a visit last Satur-
day. He is always glad to be
back and meet his many friends
here. He came here several
years ago and took held of the
University when it needed a
strong hand. He was urged to
take the place; he did not seek
nor want the place. He knew
the tangled condition of affairs
and refused to accept it until al
lowed a free hand. He was
unanimously given that and un-
der his supervision the Universi-
ty reached the highest note mark
ia fficiency and attendance in its
history, except in attendance the
present year is a few ahead. In
1909 the University enrolled SOB
students.
There was much discord and
dissension when Chancellor Kin
cannon took charge, but he did
remarkably well. and from the
first he had many enemies to
fight, but against all. odds he
brought the institution up to a
high standard. Without question
he has left the greatest impress
upon the school affairs of Missis-
sippi Of any Of its many great
educators,
Our sister state Of Tennessee
will find in him an enthusiastic
and a progressive leader and if
given proper support will do a
wonderful work for that state. -

Overall Factory

An enterprise that we predict
has a bright and successful fu-
ture has been established in Tu-
pelo with w. M. Houston as
promoter and manufacturer. Mr..
Houston has begun the manu-
facture of overalls out of denims
manufactured by the Tupelo Cot
ton Mills.
The enterprise has begun in a
modest way, but as its goods find
their way on the market the ca
pacity of the plant will be in
creased. The class of goods
turned out is equal to any on the
market and the prices will COM
pare favorabIy with those made
by the most extensive manufac-
turerS.
The overall has become the
working mans garment. 1t is
cool during The hot weather and
in the winter season furnishes
an ample protection against the
weather. 1t is cheap, yet it is
{, not unattractive in appearance
and one pair for every day and
another for Sunday constitutes
the wardrobe of many.
We believe that we could be
safe in saying that fully 10000
pairs are sold IN Lee county an
nually. This great number is
shipped in here from a distance
and the labor in manufacturing
them is done by people outside
of the county and the state and
the profit goes to the foreign
manufacturer. The manufacture
of this large quantity annually
would give to our home people
employment; the cotton is already
raised in Lee county and the
profit of its manufacture should
20 to our cotton mill and the
ofit to the panufacturer of the
garments should go to a home
manufacturer.
We understand that Mr.. Asa
w. Allen contemplates in the
near future the establishment of
a factory to manufacture shirts.
There is a wide field to be COW
eered and an enterprise of this
kind would furnish many profita-
BILE employment. These goods
can be made as cheapIy here as
anywhere. Our cotton mill makes
q high class grade of shirtinQ
and the saving in freight would
be quite an item to the manufac |
turer when he goes upon the
market to sell his goods.

Action probably will be started
soon to secure the Communication Of

cnnarn' lie scl'atc yesterday atol-
ished capital punishment, so that the
state pardon board, while not having
anymore authority than before, will
have some excuse to alter the Milo
sentence.
Amends Holse Bill.
Senator Wartner amended !he
house bill materially but it is not an
ticipated that the measure will be
opposed in the house. The bill as
passed makes life Imprisonment the
punishment for murder in the first
degree, but if a prisoner serving a
life term commits another murder he
may be punished by death.
Hope for "Lifers.'
This bill also gives the pardon
board authority to free ''lifer" af
ter he has served eighty percent Of
his life expectancy based upon the
Carlisle tables of mortality.
Senator Davis made one of the
chief addresses against the bill. He
said that the present law was ade.
quate enough. Few criminals, he
said, had been sentenced to death and
that the death penalty had only been
used in the most extreme cases.
Senator Steele also made an ad-
dress against abolislling the death
penalty.
Senator Mallough declared that
Milo was praying to be hung.
Challenged by Hyland.
This statement was challenged by
Hyland who said that he had talked
with every life prisoner in the peni-
tentiary. and that they would rather
live than, suffer the death penalty
He spoke in favor of the bill.
Senator Leutz also was another
who had interviewed life prisoners
at the penitentiary and after study
ing their cases, he said that he was
in favor of abolishing the death pen
atty.
The following senators opposed the
abolition Of the death penalty: Bron-
son. Clark, Davis, Gibbens, Hughes,
McFadden, Nelson of Richland, Paul
son, Putnam. Rowe, SandstOm, Steele,
Trageton and Young. All the rest
