Prof. ]. r. Preston.

The nominee for State Supcrin
.tendent of Education is receiving
the most -hattenng mention from
all sources, anu all deserved. The
following Is what the Oxford Ea.
gle has to say: y,
= Prof. Preston, who Is the nomi'
nee of the democratic party, is q
most excellent selection and the
party have done themselves credit
in nominating him. A State Su.
pcrintendent of Education should
he q man thoroughly qualified as an
educator, whose aims are high and
whose pride would DO in elevating
the standard of education within
his State. He is not unknown IN
Mississippi as an educator of abili'
t.. HIS school at Water Valley
il acknowledged by the press es.
pecially to he one Of the most com
plete institutions of its character
within the South. All of the de-
partments arc thorough and most
Systematically arranged, clearly
showing that Prof. Preston is
master of the situation. We pre-
diet that in the person of j. r.
Preston, the State of Mississippi
will have an able superintendent
and the cause of education warn
and jealous friend.

prospects s,,,.. Of Good Times.

There Is agcncral feeling In all parts
Of the country that better times arc
Just ahead. 1t is in the air. Even
cautious business men are beginning
to feel It in their bones. TIE first and
most important symptom Is the
steady growth and progress OF the
South during the'past few months,t tho
persist ent development Of its resour'
ces and the continual increase OF Its
industries, both large and small.
Everything seems to be picking up
and improving. Prominent merchants
of Atlanta say the fall trade has
opened earlier this year than for
several years previous, and they re-
port general feeling OF confidence,
not to say citation in quarters where.
depression has heretofore prevailed.
This certainly means something
Perhaps It means even more than VIC
have assumed Perhaps it is symp-
tom of returning good times and OF
increased prosperity. Certainly the
crop prospects in the south were new
er better. Corn in every State fro m
Virginia to Texas is at Its best, anu
in the cotton growing region there
is no complaint. GOOD crops in
the South certainly mean pros.
perity for the southern people. They
mean, moreover, an increased and
enlarged demand for all sorts OF
northern products. The condition OF
the crops is, therefore, to be put
down as another and surer symp-
tom Of returning prosperity.
twill be remembered that Ia 1873,
the good crops were the first sign OF
returning tide of prosperity that had
stood at so low sn ebb since 1878.
Tie conditions at that time were
pretty much what they arc to-day
except that the depression was more
&C, tain and had covered muc h long.
er period.
mother symptom OF returning
confidence is reported by the gov
eminent in an increased demand for
silver dollars from all parts OF the
country, the demand being slightly
in excess of the regular monthly COL
mage. Much of the depression with
which the business of the country
has been recently visited, may be
ira &C d 10 the contraction OF the cur
rency effected by the banks in pursu
ing their policy of boarding gold an
legal tender notes for the purpose OF
making an impression" on the
administration and congress.
Altogether the outlook is hopeful.

Railroad Accident.

A terrible disaster occurred on
the Natchez and jackson road, oil
last Thursday, between Utica and
Myles Station, in which three per
sons were killed and ten or twelve
injured. The bridge across Bayou
Pierre gave way rs the passenger
train was crossing, and the entire
train went to the bottom with the
exception of the rear car, which
was left OH tie edge, hanging emo
downwards.
The killed were, Mr.. Powell, OF
Water Valley, engineer; McClutchy,
of Natchez, fireman; and Robert
Perry, of Learned, brakesman. j.

Shall the Lien Law D. Repealed.

That it will be better tor the
country should the lien law be re.
pcaled seems to be generally con'
coded, but how to do this without
disturbing too violently the farming
and mercantile interests and the
general welfare of all classes is the
great question. The subject has
been brought up In the legislature
Mt several different times, and its
agitation developed the fact that
our leading men were divided In
opiaion, as many being against as
for its rercal. There are two sides
to the question, and it is doubtful
whether any one can form o correct
opinion rs to whether or not q re.
peal of the law would be beneficial.
They can only give their belief,
which is ut once met ty views OF
others holding n different opinion.
For n while there might be some
friction and q good deal of incon'
venience attending its repeal, espe'
cially if it were done abruptly and
before the country was prepared
for it. 1t would completely revo'
lutionize the commercial and agri'
cultural business. These two in
terests are mutually dependent mp
on each other, therefore what eff.
iects one likewise effects the other.
IL is very unfortunate that the deed
in trust system ever became n ne
ccssity. 1t was one of the results
of the war, and it is now time that
1t should be wiped from our statute
hooks. The country demands q
change OF some kind. No prosper
ity can come to us so long rs this
system prevails. y great many
are of the opinion that the farmers
are the only ones who desire q re-
peal, but in this they are mistaken,
for we find the professional men a
unit on it, aud also n large proper
ion of the merchants. There can
be no doubt but what large ma
jnrity of the people want q repeal
of this law, and 1t il democratic
doctrine that the majority should
be heard. Our Legislators should
not be t,mid about agitating the
subject, nor should they be rash to
indulge in legislation beneficial to
one interest and detrimental to IN.
other, but the interest of the far
mer, merchant and professional
man must be regarded. We cannot
help hut think if the deed in trust
system was abolished our county
and State would enter on renew
cd prosperity. W are not
advocating the measure pro or con,
we merely throw out these sugses'
tons for consideration, and We be-
lieve the law can be repealed in
such q way as to injurc no one.

1t may as we'll be understood,
right now as ut any time, that no

that none Of our patrons can think SO

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES
If the Book Of Common Prayer were
to be got up new, there would be in
corpolated into it: "From all munich
pal corporations, Good Lord deliver
us; from city councils, mayors aud
police, Good Lord deliver us; from all
ward politics, extravaganza and big
machinery for small business, Good
Lord deliver u.s. The subscriber has
been witness for forty years of all the
nonsense, the cumbrousness, the COM
plicated and superfuous machinery of
city governments for villages, modelled
on the example of great cities. 1t is
a parallel to the old fable of the frog,
which undertook by swell to increase
to the size of the OK. The swell was
great success, but it "bust him."
That is just what happens every time
when villages try to swell into cities
before they are cities. l hope Haley
will not fall into this folly.

Of PROBATE COURTS
1t Will Probably BE Defined Soon by
the Supreme Judges Of Idaho.

Judge Waters, counsel for the Min
ers' Union boys, informed the TINES
reporter yesterday that, three weeks
ago, he had taken steps to have the
Jurisdiction Of Probate Courts in Idaho
under the Organic Act authortatively
defined. He went to Cassia county
prepared to argue the question before
Judge Morgan, and even filed brief.
But as the Judge was very busy
Other wise, and it was very desirable
that the entire Supreme Court Bench
of Idaho should pass upon the ques-
ton, Judge Waters RETAINED from
pressing for decision.
In short time Judge Broderick
(who is now busily engaged) will be
able to give to the question the at
tention which it requires, and Judge
Buck will also be requested to state
his views Oh the question, and their
joint decision will be announced.
If the decision is adverse to the
jurisdiction of the Probate Court, all
the cases begun in that court-except
for probate or estate Matters will
have to be begun anew.
