section.
An opossum caused a race riot

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.

very close to the heart of the

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.

_
The late Capt. Jas. Kincannon.
Every one throughout this sec
tion regrets to learn of the death
of Capt. 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
