Mobile, Ala., April 28 —With baltiug steps and trembling limbs gray-bearded and feeble, with eves in which the fire of youth has been dimmed by none too gentle passing of years, but with hearts full of pride and joy. 15,000 vet eran soldiers of the Confederacy marched today beneath the battle scarred flags which they followed in the ’6o’s. Shoulder to shoulder with comrades who endured to gether the hardships of war, to the soft strains of “Dixie,” played by two-score bands, encouraged bv the cheers of the biggest crowd Mobile has ever entertained, the annual parade of the veterans passed into history. The preliminary arrangements of the parade were so perfect that the head of the column was set in motion three minutes before the time of starting. There were some curious features in the pa rade. A number of old negro soldiers were m line among the 1 Jefferson Shields, one of whom claimed to be Stonewall Jackson's cook. Jeff was covered with re union badges and carried a live chicken under his arm. When asked what he was doing with the chicken, he replied he was just carrying his lunch Gen. Clement A. Evans, who was to have commanded the pa rade, was too weak and ill to even review it and the new command der-in-chief, Gen. George W Gor don, surrounded by his staff, re placed him. Gen. Gordon ex pressed deep regret that the white haired old commander could not rouud out his office by direct ing the closing movement of the troops of the reunion. The exodus from Mobile began immediately after the parade, but a great many of the guests will re main here for the balance of the week and many side trips have been arranged for Friday and Sat urday.

LOS ANGELES HOTELS BARRED TO JOHNSON. Los Angeles, Cal., April 29 — Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, was refused accommodations in the Los Angeles hotels. On ar riving here he traveled up Spring street m an automobile and wet.: to one of the best hotels. With a considerable number of attend ants he entered the lobby, but a few moments later the party de parted and tried another hotel. The same excuse was offered for not receiving tile black champion —the hotel was filled to its capac ity. As Johnson refused to try to find lodging at any ot the cheaper hotels, arrangements were made for his entertainment at the home of a negro editor Cotton Seed Meal.

James Fowler, Sopertoli, G* ImILLIONS OF ACRES OF LAND j IN CULTIVATION IN U. S. Atlanta, April 30 —Government , experts estimate that 283,000,000 , acres of land are under cultiva tion in the United States this spring, which is an increase of 17,875,000 a*.res more than last year. Imagine a farm with St. Louis m the south-eastern corner; run the fence line north to Fort William. Canada, on the north shore of Lake Superior; thence west, along the international boundary line to the Montana line; then south to Colorado Springs, Col., and then east to the starting point. St. Louis—every inch of it plowed and seeded—and I you have an idea of the amount of 1 land under cultivation this spring by the farmers of the United States. The New England states, the eastern states and the south eastern group of states could all lie put in the area covered by this | immense farm and you would 1 have room for several European I countries without crowding.
