MERIDIAN, MISS.

Meridian. Miss. October 1S.-(Spe- cial)-Meridian took another step to- day toward building and operating it's own ice manufacturing and cold stor- age plant when the date for an elec- tion on a bond issue of s150,oo0 was fixed as November 23. At the same meeting motion made by Mayor John M. Dabney and adopted by the council authorized that immediate steps be taken to determine the cost of the establishment of an electric plant by the city for the purpose of lighting streets and municipal publil buildings. It is the purpose to have Meridian g qualified electors pass on the proposi- tions as early as possible in order that the proposed ice manufacturing plant can be placed in operation if the bond issue is favorably votede before the warm season next year and the electric plant ready for operation by October 1, next year, when the lighting franchise of the Meridian Light and Railway Company expires.

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, October 1S.-(Special.)- Si Robinson, a negro cook of Scotts- boro. was acquitted of the charge of Illicit distilling in the United States court here last night. although he ad- mitted that he had tried his best to make some whiskey. Robinsons ignor-
 ance of the art of distilling led him into making a product that was only an average brand of stump water" according to one of his friends that he had invited to his home to get drink of something good" He rigged up a lard can with gallon pail cap and cemented the two utensils together with clay mud. A tin pipe leading through q wooden trough of water was the worm and the mash was a few pints of meal mixed with water. After making one run, Robinson invited his friends to call. Each of them told of drinking some and sitting down to wait for the results which never came and it all became such a joke that

the conferees here today at time when dispatches from Shanghai brought ru- mors of the overthrow of the Peking government of China and proclamation of a monarchy.
 The British representative, who spent many years in China and who Is now head of the Hongkong- Shanghai bank of London, characterized the Chinese as people distinguished with a national capacity for self-government, with a standard of rectitude deeply rooted in the belief that right is might.
 It was explained that no specific loan to China yet had been considered, but that an extensive programme for get ting the public on it's financial feet was being outlined.
 Absence of the United States from the councils of the League of Nations was mentioned frequently by the speak CTS. and references 10 the consortium as a means of continuing the bond be- tween the late allies were cheered.
 Thomas W. Lamont of the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co. chairman of the consortium, referred to it as a forge to weld together in warm friendship the five nations participant Ing in efforts to aid China.

M0ULT0N

Moulton, October 13.-(Special.)-So far as it can be determined no more gins in Lawrence county have been notified to stop since the raid of the night riders last Sunday night upon Moulton. Monday morning mass meeting was called at the courthouse in Moulton, after the first excitement subsided, and the matter discussed calmly by a number of the sixty or more men present. The opinion seemed to prevail that the gins should con- tinue their work and resolutions were unanimously passed urging them to do so, also requesting the city authorities to see that sufficient police force be appointed to guard as far as seemed necessary the properties of the town. At the mass meeting number of sub stantial farmers from the eastern part of the county. from Landerville, west of Moulton, and from Loosier. north east. were present. They were earnest in their appeals that cotton be ginned as they could not in any way store it unginned. It is a noteworthy fact that practically no cotton is being sold Ie the county, but is being stored at the homes of the owners. The gins at Moulton are running as usual. The sentiment of the county as far as can be ascertained is opposed to such ac- tion, and the general belief seems to be that the notices were placed at each of the gins and at two or three points on the outskirts of the town for the public by parties from outside the county.
 The Moulton Public School Improve ment Association gave a Brunswick stew a few evenings ago for the benefit of the school of the town with gratify- ing results. The proceeds netted above expenses about sS5. The greater part of the meats, etc, required for the stew were donated by patrons and friends of the school. The hope is being enter tained that by the opening of another school year a new building may have been erected to take the place of the present very unsatisfactory one.

Jubilee for Woman's Suffrage.

Women are meeting in Chicago to celebrate
fifty years of effort in behalf of their SEX While
they are not fully clothed with the voting
franchise, they have 50 far advanced the posi-
ton and condition of then sex within a half
century that they have ample for jubia-
ton. The work of the society has primarily
been to secure the vote, as that would perhaps
include all other things they have sought, but
its influence has brought about reform in so
many directions, has so broadened and ex-
tended the vista of woman's activities, that it
is open to question if she could have done more
had the vote been given her fifty years ago.
Without debating this The Bee extends its
congratulations to those women who have
steadfastly worked to definite end. The ef-
forts they have put forth have brought much
fruit, and they are justified now in reviewing
with some lcomplacence their achievements. Be-
fore them is yet work to be done, for the full
franchise has not been won. A reasonable GER
tainty exists that the federal amendment will
get the requisite number of endorsements but
a relaxation Of f'effort now might jeopardize the
whole victory, or at least postpone it. Vigil
ance has not been lacking among the suffragists,

Whu We Work

- Poverty is hateful condition. and yet ii
is not the greatest among the handicaps under
whNh men struggle to find their places in the
world. A professor in one of the most famous
eastern universities insists that it is spur to
all worthwhile endeavor, stimulus.
Every one who is not in prosperous cir
cumstances desires to be, and poverty subjects
the individual to such rigorous experience that
the imperatveness of diligence and economy is
inculcated so firmly in his mind that future
success is made much more probable than it
would otherwise be if these necessary qualities of
human nature were left undeveloped.
Our authority points out that the majority
of the worlds benefactors were men who were
not favored in the beginning with the possession
of the luxuries of life, and, in many instances,
were men who even lacked the commonplace
necessities of life. But the insistent spur of
want urged them ceaslessly; it compelled unre-
mttihg toll, and the result of their labors is
evidenced by the high stage of civilization
which humanity has attained. - Cincinnati

AL v. DRESHER.

The luck which dogs the human race upon
this hapful sphere is frequently unrighteously
and needlessly severe. You never spill the plate
of soup, thick, greasy, fresh and hot, upon your
last years suit, OF course but the best you've
got; and when your motor takes fit and balks
and bucks and rants, you're 20 miles from over
alls and i'll your ice cream pants.
But while we meet disasters in this vale of
bunk and tears, there also is occasion for ap-
plause and joy and cheers; for when your
proudest garments are abashed by dirt and
smell and make you think of words no nice
compositor could spell, their pristine youth and
freshness is restored in speed and style and your
redecorated face presents a glowing smile.
That is to say, these things occur and glory
fills your heart if you submit aforesaid clothes
to AL V. Dresher's art He runs laundry
where the work is full of jazz and class where
water is thing unknown-they make the suds
with gas: and fluid which can push truck at
40 miles an hour can clean your flannel or your
duck with promptitude and power
He's made brilliant building with an ala
baster front to signify the thoroughness of his
dry-cleaning stunt; to indicate that dirt can be
and ought to be efaced from garments where
by accident error it is placed. We'd be a
most unsightly mob,i unpolished crude and
raw, except for Dresher's fancy work in clean
ing Omaha.
