Wise Words.

we should be comparatively free from

Ny dear boy, don't begin fight, but

Don't forget this, my boy: There are

There are two things that everybody
thinks they can do better than any one
else-punch the fire and edit a weekly

There is pedantry in all things
Any man who loads up a double-barrel
gun to kill cockroach with, is cock
roach pedant.
There are lots of things in this world
we can't explain, and that is just what
makes the things we can exp lain the
more certain.
Pride is located halfway between
vice and virtue, and little Of it won't
hurt saint, and a good deal of it often
helps sinner.
The great struggle of life is first for
bread, then butter on the bread and at

best any of us can do.
There is just about humanity enough
in the whole world to supply one man

The QUeen's Finger and the
Ring.

At the coronation of Queen Victoria
a curious incident occurred in the mid.
die of the solemnity. "0ne ruby ring
had been made for her little finger in
stead of the fourth, on which the ru-
brio prescribes that itshould be put.
When the Archbishop was to put it on
she extended the former, but he said it
must be on the latter. She said it was.
too small, and she could not get it on.
He said it was right to put it there,
and as he insisted she yielded, but had
first to take off her other rings, and
then this was forced on, but 1T hurt
her very much, and as soon as the Ger
emory was over she was obliged to
bathe her finger in iced water in order
to get it off,"

The Seventh District Nomination.

II is scarcely necessary fer Us 70 say
to the readers Of The CLARION that
we cannot congratulate the voters Of the
Seventh District on the nomination of
Col. Hooker. We have eoBtrasted his
record IN Congress with that Of his dis
tinguished competitor time and again,
aud our opinion Of the two gentlemen Is
well understood. A special objection
which We urged TO the nomination Of
Col. Jooker was the surprising position
he has taken and endeavored 10 main
tain, on the subject Of tariff taxation;
and though he had been nominated by
ten times the majority he received, we
would not yield our views on the sub
ject, sustained as we are Overwhelmingly
by the best thought Of Democratic lead
ers and statesmen.
still, Col. Hooker is Democrat, and
has been nominated by u Democratic
Convention, and so devoted are We to
the Democratic party that we obey its
behests though expressed under some
what questionable circumstances.
There are States in the American
Union where public journal may serve
the people by opposing the nominations
Of It's political friends. 1t is not so in
Mississippi. Here party organization
and party disipline are the only safe
guards against return to that political
cordition from which scarcely revolu
ton was able TO wrest the State. We
do ourselves that which we advise all
good citizens to do, and that Is to sup
port unainchingly the nominees Of the
Democratic party whether they be ae
ceptable or not.

Col. Hooker s Pledges.

Our next Representative viii 60 into
Congress pledged to use bis endeavors
to effect the immediate repeal OF the In
ternal Revenue tax ION whisky and to
bacco), and at the same time to employ
his energies for the readjustment OF the
tariff so as to reduce the tax on the ne
cessaries Of life, and also to secure needed
revenue. This will be as difficult feat
az that of riding two horses in different
directions at the same time. We will
watch the performance with interest.
1t did not occur 10 the trainers Of the
National Democratic Platform that the
object sought by Col. Hooker could be
attained for in the same connection In
which the declaration is made for the
reduction of the tariff, another is made
for the continuation of the Internal
Revenue system until the war debt shall
have been paid.
The expenditures OF the government
for the past fiscal year were 1906, OO0,-
900 which we're $40 ,000,000 in excess OF
what they ought to have been. 1t Is
safe to say that s265, 600, 900 will be re-
quired for the current year. Dir. Nor
rison and his Democratic associates on
the Committee on Ways and Means,
composed of such experienced econo-
| mists and revenue reformers RS Holman,
| the Breckinridges, Burns and others, re
ported bill al the late session OF Con
Vress reducing tariff taxation S3o,OOo,
OOC If they had succeeded in passing
IL the revenue derived from the tariff
the present year would amount to SlS9.-
0OO, 600 instead of $2l9,000,000- One
hundred and eighty nine millions would
be SIC, 100000 less than is needed to
carry on the government. Col. Hooker
proposes to make the reduction of $40
OO0, 900, which is proper, but when nc
takes the tax off of whisky and tobacco
he will leave the government sac, 100000
short of what is necessary to defray Its
expenses and meet Its obligations. A
person with intelligence above that oil
ar idiot, will see that the man who pro
poses to cuL down tariff taxes and to re-
peal the Internal Revenue system at the
same time, is talking nonsense. The
Republican protectionists understand
that to repeal the Internal Revenue tax
simply means, not only to keep up, but
increase the tariff taxation on the ne
cessaries of life; and hence, to man
they are in favor Of repeating the tax OF
whisky and tobacco, just as Col. Hooker
proposes. Mr.. Randall, who leads the
faction of so called Democratic protec
tionists in'the House &C Representatives
also understands it, because at the late
session, he introduced bill to remove
partially the Internal Revenue tax, anc
to make up the deficiency, he provided
in the same measure for almost doubling
the tariff tax on wooden goods, iron and
tin cans, cotton ties, etc. In plain words
he illustrated by his own bill, that t.
reduce the tax on the Injuries of whls
ky and tobacco, means an increase o
the tax on the necessaries of life. Bu
Col. Hooker sees it differently, and W
will await the solution of his problem

The bulgarian Crisis.

Prince Alexander having returned to
Bulgaria, telegraphed the Gar renewing
his pledges Of loyalty and assuring him
Of his devotion TO the Cars august
person, and willingness to surrender to
him his crown on demand. To this ser
vile me ssage the Car replied that he could
not approve of Alexander's return to
Bulgaria, aud that he must decide his
own course. This was the diplomatic
way of telling him that he must 'fstep
down and out" which Alexander has
proceeded to do without unnecessary
delay; and the man who last week was a
hero, is now a dethroned prince, with
none so poor "a to do him reverence
The three emperors are acting in con
cert with reference to Bulgarian affairs,
and ii is presumed that the course mat
tiers will take has already been lplanned
and,th Russia will furnish the new ruler
for Bulgaria. England, however, claims
that the disposition 10 be made of the
questions involved, must be settled by a
conference of the Powers.

The Great Earthd uake

The seyerest earthquake on record in
the United States, was that fele on
August 81. From a telegram sent by
Prof. Powell, of the Geological Survey,
to the Secretary of the British Assoeia
ton for the Advancement of Science, We
gather the following facts:
The earthquake originated along the
post-quarternary on the eastern TANKS of
the Appalachian range. Slight pre-
monitory shocks were felt in the Carroll
mas, for several days, moderately
severe shock occurring near Charleston,
August q and %. The principal shock
causing great destruction in Charleston,
originated ia central North Carolina
August 81, $50 p. m, 18th meridian
time. Thence the shock spread with
great rapidly in all directions, with We
locity varying from twenty-five to sixty
five miles a minute, over 900 600 square
miles, or ne-fourth of the United States,
embracing twenty-eight States, from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes and
Southern New England, and from the
Atlantic seaboard to the central Missis-
sippi valley. Halt of Charleston is in
ruins, and more than forty lives are lost.
A second moderately severe shock was
felt at Charleston at 1925 a. m Septem-
I Der /, and minor shocks Lave followed
at increasing intervals. The principal
shock was felt over this vast area withiL
fifteen minutes.
The people throughout those portions
of South Carolina and Georgia, near the
seaboard, have been in f constant state Of
excitement and fear since the first shock
was felt, as there are many wiseacres
who say that the worst has not yet hap
pened. At Charleston there is much dis
tgess, many of the people being home
less. Tents are being gathered there
from all quarters, to furnish temporary
homes, and from all the large cite.
money contributions are being forward
ed to protect against greater suffering
than has already been experienced.
The shock was felt by many persons
in this State, but it was so slight that i
passed unnotieed by all except thos,
whose positions gave them special ad
vantages for observing it.
