ROWE FOR CHANCELLOR.

WinOna, Miss, June 1I-Chancery
court convened here with Judge J. G.
MCGOWAN, of Water Valley, presiding.
The docket for this term is light. there
being only a few divorce cases, the
usual guardianship and administration
matters and several litigated matters
of minor importance.
Judge MCGOWAN has many ardent
supporters in this county in his race
for supreme justice, and he has made
a fine impression upon the people as
chancellor.
In case he is elected to the higher
position, to which he aspires, this
county, in all probability, will furnish
a candidate for the office of chancellor
of this, the third district, in the per
son of Vernon ID. Rowe, of the Win
ona bar. Mr.. Rowe has practiced law
here for fifteen years, is a man of
broad experience, and is held in high
esteem by all who know him. Attor-

Biloxi Miss, June 19.-The Auto

1000. The apparatus includes a
large castnet operating in a revolving

This imparts to the net a motion which
opens it and allows it to reach the bot

In hauling it up the net is changed
to a bag shape, thereby gathering in

MOTHER AND : Pigs
RODE ON THE STORM
CYCLONE CARRIES HOG FAMILY
TO INTERIOR OF
LEAkE.

Jackson, Miss, June 19-Did any
body in Jackson have a SOW and five
pigs carried away by the cyclone?
If sc, the property can be found over
in I.eaFe County.
Advicea received here from Carthage
say that a negro living near that
place found SOW and five pigs in
his front Iard Tuesday morning one
week ago.
Two of the pigs were rather badly
bruised, and other debris scattered
about the place indicated very plainly
that they had been carried there by
the cyclone.
Pieces of slate roofing, probably
from the Deaf and Dumb Institute, a
life insurance policy. several articles
of clothing, window shades, ETC., were
picked up in the vicinity
From this evidence it is believed
that the sow and five pigs rode the
storm all the way from Jackson to
the interior of Leake county.

State Has 10000 Who
Can't Read and Write

| Jackson, Miss, June i'-According
ITO the United States census records
4, of 1910, by information dug up from
the statistics of Miss Elise Timber
lake, field agent for the Mississippi
commission for the suppression of
adult illiteracy in the state, with the
aid of Assistant State Superintendent
Of Education, W. NJ Taylor there
were in 1910, 30,002 white people, ten
years of age or older, in Mississippi
who can neither read nor write. This
is the first count of the indictment
against the present condition of a peO-
pie, living in this age of free schools
and cheap school books
Brought forward as a second count
is the fact that there are, or were.
1862 white males, of voting age, who
can neither read nor write.
Miss Undertake is now making the
rounds of the summer normals. with
the purpose in view of getting certain
salient facts in connection with adult

| ITO assist in removing illiteracy
i from Mississippi, volunteer service is

spirited citizens"
| To this blank is attached the follow.
ing pledge card:
81 desire to volunteer for service in
the crusade against illiteracy in Mis-.
sissippi. During this fall, | will help

The blank suggests ways in which
such volunteer service can be given,
such as teaching in evening schools,
if needed giving individual instruc-
ton, enrolling other volunteer helpers
and sending names to the secretary;
serve on county or local committees;
report illiterates to the county super
intendent, or contribute money, either
in lump or monthly installments.
Miss Timberlake will leave with
the conductor of each normal a sup
ply of the official blanks, which will
be distributed to the teachers, or those
willing to undertake this missionary
work, and it is hoped in this way to
get substantial and practical results
1t is an uphill task, as all connected
with the work recognize. and the com
behind it starts out with no
other more tangible capital than faith
in the intelligence, loyalty to race SUI
