t The Story of
t Our States
E! By JONATHAN BRACE
| MISSISSIPPI
| MHz7@M TPo9l Of n.ss.s, s'a5s
J A m& o. va slppi derives
+! RY a A lg It's name from
| AAVsaS Ell which forms
. Wa. FF ~ it's western
&-h% oundary.
! The word itself comes from the
Algonquin missi-sepe which
means great river" 1t is popu-
larly supposed to mean "Tather
of the Waters" but this interpre-
tation Is incorrect. The state is
also known as the Bayou State
from the many bayOus which are
formed by the shifting river. In
this connection it is interesting
to note the uneven course of the
Mississippi river. Though the
extreme length of the state from
the Gulf to Tennessee is $50
miles. the western border, due
to the winding of the Mississippi
river, extends for nearly 500
miles
The rivers play an important
part in this state. They are so
numerous and the country SO
subject to flood that the river
bottoms cover nearly one fifth
of the area of the entire state.
The early history of Missis-
sippi Is yoked up with that Of
Louisiana of which it originally
formed a part. Discovered by
De Soto in 1899. II was not until
La Sale sailed down the river
and claimed this territory, which
he n0med in honor Of his French
king, Louis XIV, that a perma-
neHt settlement was established.
In 1853 the territory east OF
the Mississippi was ceded by the
French to the English. For a
while the lower portion of the
present state was called West
Florida. After being captured
by the Spanish and later re-
turned to the United States, the
Territory Of Mississippi was ex-
tended to its present size of 49,
800 square miles and in 1917 it
was admitted as the twentieth
state Of the Union. At the time
of the Mexican war, although
called upon to supply one regi-
ment Of volunteers, Mississippi
responded with enough men for
two. One of these regiments
was commanded by jefferson
Davis, who later was the presi-
dent of the Confederate states.
Since its readmittance to the I'm
ion In 1870 Mississippi in ma
ticnal elections has been a Demo
cratic state except in 1872. when
Il voted for Grant.

Measures to Protect Cotton Industry
Against Pest to be Discussed.
Washington, May l5.-Measurcs for
protecting the cotton industry against
the pink boil worm will be discussed
at conference here tomorrow between
the department OF agriculture and rep
rcsentatiycs Of the cotton growing
states. Failure of Texas to provide
Tor adequate quarantine and control
work, the department said, nccessl-
tated the formulation of Il new policy
to prevent the spread of the pest.
The pink boil worm was said by c.
H. Marlatt, chairman OF the federal
horticultural board, to be present in
Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico.
The menace Of the pink boil worm to
the cotton crop OF the country is now
fully recognized" he added in his sum
mary OF the situation. Based upon
losses Occasioncd by it in recent years
I'm Egypt, Brazil, Hawaii and Mexico.
he continued the department estimated
It's spread through the cotton belt
would mean an annual loss of from
twenty to forty per cent Of the cotton
belt crop, or a money loss of several
hundreds million dollars annually"
The federal government took prompt
action to beat back the pink boil worm
when it first appeared in Texas in 1917
from Mexico, the department said, ad-
ding that with the complete co-opera-
ton of the states invaded there seem
ed to be a fair chance of eradication
Of the pest"
Mr. Marlatt said The failure of
Texas to provide for such quarantine
and control work as will in the judg-
mcnt of the experts Of this department
and of several states he adequate to
hold the pest within it's present limits
in that state, and the abandonment as
a general policy of the only method
enforcement Of non-cotton zones which
would possibly lead to the extcrmina-
tion Of the pest in the infested areas
neccssitatcs n careful consideration Of
the whole future pink boil worm work
in the United States, and more parti-
| cularly the quarantine or control ac-
ton which should be taken with re-
| spect to the insect To prevent its spread

OF Cordele. Georgia, was announced as
one Of the speakers.
The replies were in the form OF pub

case, that of Il negro burned at the
stake, declared it referred to hap

iectuIhs from washington with Claim
/ that Ills Commission Would Arrive
During the Week.
Greenville, May 16.-That he has
been appointed postmaster for Green
vile, was the statement made yestcr-
day by A. II. Gates, republican party
| chairman for Greenville, following his
return from Washington yesterday
morning. His commission, MI Gates
said, should arrive during the coming
week.
Declaring that Service and efficiency
WITH lenuhljcans first, last and all the
time" will be the motto Of the republi-
can party in filling appointments in
this state, Mr.. Gates said yesterday
that his appointment to tie Grccnvill,
Office is in line with the policy which
is to be carried out.
But two appointments, both Of
which are temporary, have been made
but others are to follow, Mr.. Gates de-
clarcd. The appointment Of himself
as postmaster for Greenvile was the
first to be made, Mr.. Gates said, while
that Of John Cochran as postmaster
for Anderson was next to be made.
All appointments in South Carolina
will be made by or with the approval
of Joseph Warren Tolbcrt Of Ninety
SIX, Mr. Gates declared. Mr. Gates,
however, will have charge OF the ap-
nointments in the fourth congressional
district, which is composed of Grccn-
vile, Laurcns, Spartanburg and Union
counties.
Many surprises are in store for those
who have not kept abreast of the
times, Mr.. Gates declared, adding that
many influential South Carolinians had
affiliated themselves with the republ-
can party. Several persons who have
been prominent in South Carolina poll
tics arc likely to be named to import
ant positions in the Palmetto State, Mr.
Gates said.
AS soon as vacancies exist they will
be filled in comparatively short time,

All Eyes on Snake.

The condition of momentary pa
ralysis prevailed for several minutes
while the sr.ake continued explora-
tions, followed by every eye in the
place. Suddenly pandemonium broke
loose. The dispenser of the one
half of one per cent took the mirage
for granted and sought safety on
the topmost point of the nearest
chair while other occupants of the
room decided that their thirsts had
been sufficiently quenched and rap
lily remembered engagements else
where. In a twinkling the snake had
all the room any self-respecting rep
tile could desire.
Then came the blow! John Clark,
owner Of the florist shop adjoining
the saloon where the excitement
prevailed. heard the rumpus and
walked in the door inquiring wheth-
er by any chance. his pet snake had
entered in search of refreshment.
Upon being assured fervently that
such was the case, Mr.. Clark cruelty
seized the cause of the riot, walked
out the door and extinguished the
life of the unfortunate reptile.
Gradually the disappointment died
down. Imbibers of the near beer
went sorrowfully back to their glass,
es, by this time firmly convinced thai
there had been q fzaist take s0pd thal
there really had been no kick hid
den in the flagons. Probably they
will all recover but none of them
will ever be the same.
