$4OO COLLECTED FOR The
FAMINE.STRICKEN CHILDREN

Up to the time Of going to press
there has been only s4O0 collected for
the famine-stricken children Of Eu-
rope. The ladies have been hard at
work this week, but for various rea-
sons they have been unable to realize
the sum they anticipated to this time
Every one is urged to do his best
so that the amount may be increased
to at least $1,000. Mississippi is ex-
pected to care for 10000 Of these or
phans until another harvest, and Clai-
borne county must do its full share.
II is estimated that $40 will take care
OF one child until that time.
A number Of eople had already
made liberal donations to the cause
through various sources. The Rev
ellie had sent off considerable sum,
and individuals hahd sent money
through other sources.
Let US all do our best to make the
total $1,000.

pupils attending it.
Ills address was favorable received.
He then introduced Prof. r. S. Cross
ley, a graduate Of Alcorn COLLEGE. and
assistant supervisor of negro schools
for Mississippi. The Professor held
his audience spellbound for nearly one
hour and all seemed to feel that he
was the right man in the right place.
Dr. May, trustee, was then present
ed and gave the assembled multitude
the surprise Of their lives. His ad-
dress was both interesting and in
structive and, at its conclusion: it ap-
peared to be the unanimous opinion
That the Doctor was an orator as well
as physician
The chairman next introduced Judge
RI ID. Gage and Prof. TAYLOR. Now.
permit me to say that, in my humble
Judgment no addresses have SO arous-
ed our people as those delivered by the
gentlemen aforementioned.
Both speeches were in the nature of
a departure from the matter under
consideration, yet, having a direct
bearing upon it. 1t seems to us that
a few speeches ON the same lines as
those delivered, would work wonders
toward establishing better relations
between the two races that Destiny
seems to have placed side by side in
our beautiful Southland for some pur-
pose that the future will develop.
After the appointment of an advi-
sorry committee, the meeting adjourn
ed with the outlook for new building
exceedingly bright.

ANnERsoN HENINGToN pEAp.

The death Of Mr.. Anderson Hem
ington, which occurred at jackson last
Friday caused much regret to the
many friends Of the family.
The deceased leaves a young wife
and two children He was in the
prime Of life, and it was thought that
the oeration for appendicitis which he
suffered short time ago would not
be serious and that he would soon be
out again. However, pneumonia de-
veloped, and this caused his death.
An extended account Of the sad
death appears in the Pattison notes
published in another column.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE CON
STIFUTION.

A jackson despatch reports move
ment for changing the Constitution
to divest the Governor Of his power Of
calling the Legislature in special ses-
sion. The reason stated IS Governor
Russell's repeated failures to con-
vene the Legislature ito offer some
measure Of relief for existing business
conditions. "Theh power Of such call
will be placed in the hands Of the
Legislative members.
To say nothing Of the merits Of the
issue, the principle Of changing the
Constitution simply to circumvent the
Governor of the State admitting Gov
ernor Russell's talent for crossing a
current Of popular sentiment, he is
one Of a succession Of freely chosen
Governors-one of the series in fact.

ed within his capacities and qualities
when he was chosen governor And
are entitled to stand for him during

WILL WRITE A SHORT
HISTORY OF COUNTY

DR.. James F. McCaleb is preparing
to publish through the columns Of the
Reveille his observations in Claiborne
county during his residence Of TWEEN
tl-five years here. The historical O.
vents which he win give will appear
in series of articles, beginning a.
bout April.
Dr. McCaleb is a very observant
man, and his articles will be awaited
with eager expectation. He has from
time to time given the Reveille some
interesting notes about people who
figured prominently in the history Of
the county in the past; but in the ar
ticles he purposes writing now he
will largely deal with the living.
The Reveille has endeavored to give
its readers paper worth reading,
and it is gratifying to have very
pleasant expressions Of appreciation
from time to time We feel that in
giving such articles as DR.. McCaleb
is proposing to write we will add ad-
ditional interest to the paper

JUDGE FRENCH HAS
CROWDED COURT ROOM

The attendance at the preliminary
hearing Of George Thornton, charged
with the murdet Of Percy Rowan.
held at the court house before Justice
g. A. French, last Friday, was the
largest at any trial since the Watts
case was tried here last June.
The court house was completely
filed, all available seats in the gall
lery as well as on the lower floor
were taken by colored people, who
were either Interested in the case by
ties of kinship, as witnesses or simp-
" through curiosity.
The judge naturally felt his im-
portance before such an imposing
laudience. After hearing all Of tho
witnesses, the justice decided to hold
the defendant without bond TO await
the action Of the grand jury.
AT one time during the hearing, the
hearers broke into a laugh because Of
some ridiculous remark made by a
witness, and the presiding Judge
promptly warned the crowd that he
would clear the court room II trere
was another expression Of the kind,
and the warning was sufficient.

INTERESTING RELIC OF
RACE LONG Ago EXTINCT

J. M. Taylor sent to the Smithson-
ian Institute last week most inter
esting relic Of some extinct race Of
people. It is a weg-shaped rock al
most as large as a mans fist Thohugh
as hard as granite, the rock contained
innumerable lettering Of most inter-
esting shapes. There were five sur
faces Of the relic, and each bore its
tale, though none could be deciphered.
There can be no question that the
writing was made by man, but what
il is, when made and by whom is simp-
u a matter Of speculation.
The relic was found several years
ago in the northern part Of the coun-
ty, having been excayated from a
mound supposed to have been built
by Indians.
It is to be hoped that the govern
ment officials at the Institute may be
able to decipher the writing.

Big TAX COLLECTIONS
LAST THREE DAYS
$4,000 Taken in Saturday and Mon
day, and Additional $4,000 Paid on
Last Day. Very Little Remains
Unpaid.

The tax collections at the sheriff's
office just before the date upon which
damages became due were unusually
large. Saturday and Monday were
banner days for the sheriff and his
deputies, the total collections for
these two days amounting to about
$4,000. Tuesday, the last day, also
showed up well, the receipts amount
ing to about $4,000.
1t is remarkable that, notwithstand-
ing the large increase in the levy and
the fact that the depression in bust
ness came just before tax-paying
time, probably there is no more un-
paid taxes now than on any former
year. However, the public service
corporations have not paid, as no as
sessment has yet been made against
them by the state.
The deputies at the sheriff's Office
have not been able to complete the
additions Of the receipts, hence we are
not able to give the exact amount coll
lected to date, but roughly estimating,
it must be about $150,000, together
with the estimated amount yet unpaid
1t is singular that so many tax
payers wait until the last day be-
fore paying up. despite the repeated
requests made by the sheriff that all
pay before the last few days. AS
result of this delay, there is tre-
menduous rush, and many have to
wait for some time before their turn.
Just before going to press the dep
uties at the sheriff's office have COM
pleted the work Of adding up the
figures in the cash book, and the to-
tai collections for all taxes amount to
S155, ,180. 1t is roughly estimated
that the unpaid taxes will total from
$4,000 to $1,000. The way in which
the property owners of the county
have paid up has been remarkable,
far better, both as regards real estate
and personal property, than was ex-
pected. 1t was feared that because
Of the unusually heavy levy there
would be much property sold for the
tax due.
The collections for automobile tax
es has also exceeded expectations.

FEDERAL SURVEY SHOWS
SOUTH In BEST CONDITION

The cold bulletin Of figures just
published by the Employment Serv-
ice Of the Department Of Labor is
something more than mere statistics
to the South and especially to New
Orleans. It is a red-blooded story Of
business and enterprise that has
withstood the wave Of depression
here when industry over the rest Of
the country is struggling for breath
under that same debilitating reac-
ton.
The bulletin showed less than
100000 reduction in the number Of
workers employed in the South
less than in any other district Of
theh United States. II showed New
Orleans has only 1000 unemployed
less than the number in any city in

his shadow lin other words should

fright and return to his winter quar-

be safely asserted that winter is ended
Yesterday was a fine day, with

prepared by the United States Depart

Most people have a fondness OF cab
bage, served in one way or another,
as 1t contains large quantities of the
mineral salts so essential in the diet.
Early cabbage Is especially desirable,
as ii furnishes green food at a time
when IL Is needed.
In giving suggestions on growing
cabbage, garden specialists OF the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
say the proper variety must be plant
ed. Some kinds require a longer pc
riod for their growth than others. Jer-
sey Wakefield and Charleston Wake
field are most universally planted for
the early crop, Jersey Wakefield be-
ing considered earliest of all. The va
riety known as All Seasons has u
round, fiattened head and is a good
intermediate sort. Copenhagen Mar
ket is a large, round-headed early
cabbage that is very much in favor
among market gardeners. Late Flat
Dutcn ana DdnlSn Bdllnedu are COLI
sidered the leading late varieties.
Start Plants Indoors.
Plants must be started indoors. in

point farther South where the season
is advanced, If extra early cabbage is
TO be grown. One or two cigar boxes
filed with fine soil and placed in a
south window will form a seeded
for starting 100 to 200 cabbage plants.
The little seedlings must be trans
planted 70 larger boxes or TO a cold
frame when they begin to crowd each
other In the seed boxes. Cabbage
plants are quite hardy, and along the
South Atlantic coast are grown in the
open by the acre.
Plant early cabbage in the richest
part of the garden, having previously
worked into the soil all the rOtted ma
nure that can be spared and then add
ed high-grade commercial fertilizer at
the rate of ten pounds to every 100

AVOID DODDER INFESTATION
Farmer Should Use Plants Known TO
Be Immune to Attacks of
Pestiferous Weed.

The necessity of selecting plants
immune to dodder infestation when
cultivating newly cleared land was
emphasized by report which recently
reached the United States Department
of Agriculture concerning the destruc-
ton of an entire field of eggplant on a
newly cleared field in Pennsylvania.
SO bad was the infestatiOn that not a
single fruit was formed on the para
sitized plants and the entire field was
destroyed The dOdder was determined
as hazel dodder species not un-
common on hazel and other wild
shrubs and on tick trefoil and other
wild herbs, but never previously re-
ported on cultivated plants. The de-
partment recommends that on land
known TO contain the seeds of dodder,
farmers should use plants which are
immune to attacks of the pest. The
following plants are not susceptible
TO injury by dodder; corn, soy beans.
velvet beans, cowpeas. and small
grains such as oats, wheat. and rye.
Potatoes and buckwheat, crops
commonly used on newly cleared land,
are not very likely TO be injured by
dOdder. but truck crops should not
be planted on land known to contain
dOdder seeds.
