For the first time in the history of the city Mobile had a president of the United States within her gates on Monday. The great northern lakes were visited on the 20th inst by the se verest storm in years. Ten vessels were wrecked and many lives were lost._ The frost of Sunday night ex tended almost to the coast line. The temperature at Jackson was 36 degrees, five degrees below the frost temperature for this section. An opossum caused a race riot at Rosetta, Miss., on Saturday night. If there is one thing among the list of edibles that a darkey will risk his life for it is a ’possum. While President Roosevelt is touring the south over the line of the Southern railroad making speeches in favor'of railroad rate legislation, President Spencer of the railroad is in the north making speeches against it. The state board of health has authorized the opening of ah state and private colleges on Wednesday November the first. Pupils who have been matricul ated are receiving notices that they will be received on that date President Roosevelt was not booked to stop at any point in Mississippi on his southern tour. Mississippians have not been very close to the heart of the president since the unpleasant ness over the Indianola post of fice affair, which was resented by the people of the entire state. B. B. Comer, president of the Alabama railroad commission, has authorized the announcement that he would make the race for governor of his state next year. Mr. Comer was elected commiss ioner on the question of railroad supervision and will make the fight for governor on the same platform. He will be opposed by Lt. Gov. Cunningham and rail roads. Upon his arrival homo Boron Komura, the peace plenipoten tiary of Japan at the Portsm nth conference, was cordially re ceived by the emperor. The baron found the route along the way ti the place however, a little frosty, receiving the same cold reception from his people that awaited Mr. Witte when he arrived at St. Petersburg. Out siders are unable to judge of the value of the recent con ference the result of which is distasteful to both sides. President Roosevelt has about completed his southern tour and during the entire trip he received that courteous treatment which is proverbial among southern people. Crowds met him at every place he was invited to stop, and at no time was there anything of an unpleasant nature to mar the occasion. While the pres ident was well guarded by secret service men there was no danger of any harm coming to him from any man of southern blood. The only danger that might have aris en would have been the pos sibility of some socialist or an achist being sent out to inter cept him in an Unguarded moment We do not have such people junong southerners. library For Graded School Prof. J. T. Wallace, and his associates, are making a united effort to raise a fund sufficient to supply a library for the school. There is already a small nucleus to build to but a more extensive line of books should be added as soon as practicable. To do this will require a neat little sum and the patrons of the school and the public generally should be liberal in the amounts subscribed for this most laudable ob j ect. Read ing is the order of the day and the man or woman who does not con tract the habit of reading when young will hardly form it in af ter years. To the person of lim ited opportunity it is the only means by which an education may be secured and a taste should be cultivated for it and as the years go by an educati on can be gain ed that would bring great honor and distinction. Through the love of books, the papers and magazines, the boy is often kept at home where he is most pleas antly and profitably entertained while without books he seeks other means of spending the time which is,to say the least, neither profitable mentally or morally. A school library would be selec ted with the view of inculcaC ng only the best knowledge end ideas of life. Cheap trash would be kept out of it and only such works as would benefit the pupil would find its way into a well selected library._ Compress Sold. The Tupelo Compress Company was on last week sold to the G ulf Compress Company with head quarters in Memphis. The sale was the result of negotiations which have been going on for several weeks. The agreement to dispose of all the stock was finally secured and the transfer was made and the property turn ed over to the new people. The price was $2.25 which was-t:beap enought for the property. The stock has been ever since the first buildling of the compress here one of the best paying in vestments in the city and it was impossible to buy any of it except at very high figures. The Gulf Compress Co. have been buying up the compresses in this and ad joining states for several years. It is understood that high officials of the railroads are behind the. project. The Tupelo property is the best in North Mississippi, with splendid equipment and a magnificent warehouse. The ca pacity of the plant is ample for 100,000 bales annually. Roll Company C. 43rd. Ala.

James Kincannon of Verona. He was a landmark of the old school of ante bellum make, his political principles having been moulded under the influence of the great John C Calhoun. Capt. Kincannon was a veteran of two great wars—a victor in one, but vanquished in the other. He fought under old Zack Taylor with Davis, Grant and other victorious Federals in in the plains of Mexico, that the Stars and Stripes might float over Texas and her sister common wealths. When the clash between slavery and abolition came Capt. Jim Kincannon volunteered to pro tect his state in her domestic instutions, against the threats of a ‘‘rabble majority” that threatened to upturn social and political customs in the South. He was born in old Fayettville Tenn., back in the days when Henry Clay was in the zenith of his power, and grew up to man hood when the South controlled the political destinies of the Nation; and he saw his beloved S' etion shorn of her mighty power ai d humiliated past endurance; and he saw a pall of the Dark Ages hang over his native state during the early ’70s. The rabid negro equalizers who n auraded the halls of congress ai the close of war under the If adership of old Thad Stevens who wanted to mulattoize the nr.tion and confiscate the lands 0 the slave owners because they tried to secede, was enough to c? use men of Capt. Kincannon’s p >litical mould to hate the very v ord, Republican principles. But the old Captain who fought for the Nation’s expansion under 1 >lk dispared of the Union when Lincoln was elected, and shoul dered his musket, marching off te attempt to server his section from the undesirable confeder a ion with perpetual abolition s Raters, almost doubted demo cracy itself when he saw a fan atical Northern majority attempt to supplant the white race of the £ ,uth by elevating the newly liberated slaves to power. But he saw his sections unite the shackles of malicious hate,, t' ough inside of the Union, and tee domestic peace of the Did Confederate States restored, and the dawn of prosperity beam on Southern hope. Going through such political upheavals was enough to make a man slightly intolerent and bit tor of soul when dangerous po litical extremes befall his path like those that cost the country so much blood. Capt. Kincannon never did become reconciled to Republican tendencies, yet he.became liberal enough to render unto Ceasar the things that were Ceasar’s. He was!an able writer, learned in the great classics, and a good stump speaker; though able in convention he was not a success n,3 a politician, which was no discredit. Whether his keen acrimony against the opposition counterbalanced his high flavor t wit, turning aside his logic; :>r having been reared in a purer political atmosphere, the mass es may have failed to comprehend :is lofty ideals.—Lee County .itizen. It is announced that President loosevelt will bear personally ;he expenses of his recent trip, ucluding railroad charges. The juestion of the expenses of such rips has given rise to a discuss on of the advisability of congress laking anappropriation to defray hem. It has been suggested hat a private cat be purchased 'or the exclusive use of the pres ents on such trips. President loosevelt has gone farther than ny former president in availing limself of the use of government Property in having the Mayflower ittedup for his personal use, md it is to be supposed that any cheme to afford him personal onvenience or pleasure at gov ’rnment expenses would not be rowned on by the president.
