Jefferson Davis (Written by Miss Irene Jeter), 'efferson Davis was born in Kenky in 1808. It an early age he went with his ents to Mississippi, where he reved his early education. He ened West Point Military Academy, iduating there in 1828. 'or seven years he saw important vice on the frontier. Vs to his personal character, no n stood higher than Mr. Davis for lor intpirritv nnrl In the relations of life. He was n dest man, and very mild of man , while being: mild and gentle he 1 convictions, and the moral cour> to stand by them. He was a sine Christian in word and deed and s a gentleman of wide and varied ture, especially versed in political tory and philosophy. He is crowned the creator of a new order, and irified in history. Mr. Davis was elected to congress 1845, where he was an ardent folrer of Calhoun. Vfr. Davis entered the senate in " 17 and became the leader of the uthern party in the slavery and ites' rights. He was a genuine patriot, the wise der, the able statesman, who unrstood the pv:nciples of civil and reious liberty, and was willing to ike every sacrifice save honor, in tense of the constitutional rights of > South. Mr. Davis tried in every honorable y to maintain peaceful relations' th the federal government and to ert war. During the war he acted th good judgment, dignity and detion to principle and was especially xious to mitigate the suffering and rrow caused by the war. He was ver seen looking in houses as he ssed along the streets, or running ring to see who or whnt hp conlH S ?. * Davis was a man of positive con:tions and of strong prejudices ainst individuals and policies. He d his. own theory of how the war ,s to be conducted. The greatest weakness he showed is when he removed General Joseph Johnston from command, much ainst his will, but because advisors ked for the removal. This was to Did friction in the cabinet, or elselere, and that crippled the Confedicy. Sherman would never have irched through Georgia to the sea, t for this. He was much criticised d misjudgd by many of his own intrymen even after the war, and it ased him much heartache, but he re it patiently for he loved the uth, and did all that he honestly { ew how to do. ( His gallant conduct at the battle of ena Vista made him next to Scott d Taylor, the most popular heroes ^ the day. In this battle his regi- < mt, the First Mississippi, wa3 at- ( :ked by a force that outnumbered it to one, and wa3 sorely pressed. t t Davis, knowing that if they were ^ ven from their position the Amern line of battle would be so weak- v ;d as to imperil the safety of the ;ire army, held his ground with inicible resolution. Santa Anna, j >wing desperate at the successful istance of the Mississippians, final- ( ordered a brigade of cavalry to irge them. Davis formed his regint in the shape of a V, opening to- ^ rds the enemy, while he sat at its ^ jx. The Mexicans rode gallantly into the V. The Mississippians 8 od with their rifles on their shoul- ^ s and their fingefs on the triggers, aiting the orders of the colonel. . len Davis called out the word, 1 ire!" his troop shot the Mexicans m their saddles. When Davis was ? badly wounded that the surgeon d him to retire, he refused to go. r had his wound dressed while he c in his saddle, and held on. The 1 1 soon came and the wounded col- y ;1 was able to seek relief which he ( much needed. The Mississippians * re victorious from their desperate * uggle. Je was taken prisoner soon after e fall of Richmond and was confined * Fortress Monroe for two years, but 1 s liberated by the general amnesty 1 1868. * \t the close of the war his inten- ? ns were to remain in Richmond, be ? estcd, and if need be suffer as a rtyr for his country, but he was wailed upon to try to escape. 1 dr. Davis published "Rise and Fall ' the Confederate Government." It is ^ best history of the war and sets ^ th very clearly his character, his v iievements. the principles for which v stood, and the difficulties he en- P intered. f dr. Oliver Dyer, in publishing a >k on the great senators said that " became attached to Davis on ac- a nt of his personal kindness and b t he noticed it always gave him v asure to do an act of kindness for o rone. a )avis was secretary of war during n rce's administration, and while s ding liis position there introduced d era] marked improvements in mil- e ry affairs, coast defense, armament d I transportation. Upon the Feces p l of Mississippi he retired from n senate delivering a notable fare1 address, and in the same year f ? elected president of the Confed- u te states. He did not desire the of- h of president, but accepted the ii ce only in deference to the wishes v his colleagues. o [e lacked the suDDort of conerress. e en, when conditions demanded im- g liate action, congress refused to(V ept his policy, and had no policy lj ts own.

Canton, South China, June 4 ^By an Associated Pi ess Statl' Correspondent, >y mail).?The former Chinese Minster, Wu-Ting-fang, received today he correspondent of the Associated ress and set forth the reasons why ic believed the powers should recoglize South China. He presented the ause of the Chinese republic in this egard during a long interview in vhich he explained, also the vital lifferences between Sun Yat Sen and >hen Chiung-Ming, and dwelt upon china's financial difficulties. Dr. Wu, who is riow the civil govirnor of Kwangtung province under he Southern government, received he correspondent in his Canton office, le answered evei y question asked lim with great care, and was intertted in 'seeing that his answer was rrectly transcribed. "For nearly five years South China las been practically independent, and or about two years we have been ex sting as the Republic of China," Dr. Vu said. "During all this time we lave been running our government without assistance from the outside vorld, and the outside world is not fotng to help us until we gain some orni of recognition. "How are we going to build up a nodern government without boing ble to contract loans and without icing able to make treaties; in other /ords, without recognition by the ither governments in the world? We re so handicapped that we are alnost powerless, and if we continue to it and wait, we will be waiting until loomsday. We must force the powrs to recognize us. As soon as they o this civil war will stop, and the reople of Kwangtung and South Chia will set up a model government. "At present we are in reality a deacto government," Dr. Wu contined. "Fof months this government ias been functioning perfectly. Dur rig al lthis time we have been dealing nth other governments, although unflicially .

Mice and Locust Damaging Grain Moscow, July 10.?Field mice and locusts have damaged millions of acres of grain in several Russian districts already seriously affected by last year's drought and famine, and which were expected this year to produce good crops. A report of the bureau of agriculture states lhat more than 20,000,000 j acres are in the belt affected by these pests. IxH-usts have swept in from Persia, and the field mice have not been far behind. Chemical warfare squads mobilized to fight the plague have been greatly hampered in their work by lack of destructive chemicals.
