Bullock has written to the New York Press, sug gesting General Fitzhugh Lee as vic* president on ticket with President McKinley. We think the suggestion is a good one. Governor Bullock says: “Now I claim that we, as ex-Con federates, have a right to ask of our national party something new to which we can rally with patriotic fervor. Let it be McKinley and Lee, under the flag of the Union, against the world if need be.” Gov. Bullock is a good and true Confederate veteran, of Atlanta Camp No. 159, and he knows how and when to make sensible suggestions. The president is on record as favoring the care of graves of Confederate soldiers by the national government. We approve the sentiment. Let the suggestion of Governor Bullock be adopted, and we may then have a substantial hope of the practi cal adoption of the suggestion of the president, and thus our brave dead Confederate comrades may be forever honored by our Federal government, and their memory may be cherished by all the people of this republic. So let it be McKinley and Lee. “CHILDREN OF THE CONFED ERACY.’*— This is the name of a society com posed of young children of Confeder ate veterans. Mrs. C. F. Rice is gen eral manager.

Reports from Vicksburg, Jackson, Utica and other points in Mississippi state that one of the heaviest rain falls experienced in recent years has visited the cotton delta.
