ables the corporation to supply rail-

The bill is amended so that whenev-
or said railroad shall cross the tracks

Jury Reform.

The evil results of packed grand
juries has been the subject of no little
neritcd criticism by the press, bar
and people in this State, and in view
of this fact, a bill came near passing
both branches of the last Legislature
taking away from boards of supervi-
sors tie authority to appoint jurors,
and placing this power in the hands
of n jury commission appointed by
the Circuit Judge and Chancellor,
So far as Lincoln county is concern
ed, VIC have board of supervisors
whose desire is to tO right in this and
all other matters. They are law
abiding men. not in sympathy with
any of the criminal classes, and their
aim will undoubtedly be to select ju-
rOrs who will enforce the law against
all alike. If they get bad men OH the
grand jury now soon to be selected, it
will be through mistake and not de-
sign. at the same time the Leader
respectfully suggests that they cannot
be too careful in choosing true and
tried men. Above all, leave the pro-
fessional juror severely alone-the
man who goes a-candidating for the
place.

A Correct ion.

During the week, beginning March
IS, a card was published in several
papers to the effect that the State
Business College, Meridian, Miss,
was not duly empowered to grant
diplomas and degrees. We have sub
mitted our charter to a number of
well known gentlemen whose names
appear below.
An exact copy of section 4 of said
charter will he sufficient answer to
the article referred to:
"'Said corporation shall have power
to confer upon such pupils as in the
opinion of it's proper officers, mama
gers or teachers, may be worthy to
receive the same, the degree of
Bachelor of Science of Accounts, usu-
ally designated by the letters B. S.
A., and also the degree of Master of
the Science of Accounts, usually desig-
mated by the letters Nj. S. A."
CERTIFICATE.
We have examined the charter of
incorporation of the State Business
College, granted under the general
laws of the State on the 9th day of
December, 1889, and find the above
to be correct copy of section 4 of
the same.

The New Mississippian.

The New Mississippian greeted it's
many readers last week in handsome
new dress of bourgeois. 1t has just
passed its eighth birth day, and feels
more than gratified at the enviable
position which, amid the changes
and vicissitudes of time, it has al
ways occupied in the confidence and
esteem of its patrons, and the general
public.
The New Mississippian has never
bent the pregnant hinges of the knee,
or trimmed its sails to catch the winds
of popular favor or public patronage.
Throughout the eight years of its
existence it has never once stopped
to ask whether thing was popular Or
if it would pay? 1t has only en-
deavOred to ascertain If a thing was
Right, and then it has espoused it
with all its might and power.
Its constant aim has been to purify
the public service, and elevate the
public morals--to displace wrong and
enthrone the right in its stead.
1t has never sought to make its col
umns the fundamentally of avenging
private wrongs, or converted its in
fuence into coinage with which to
pay off the obligations of personal
friendships. But has often times run
counter to the judgment of it's best
friends, believing that "principle-
not policy; measures-not men,"
should be the motto of every self
respecting journalist.
Encouraged by the steady and in
creasing patronage of the public and
strengthened and supported by the
approving Judgment of a clear con
science, the New Mississippian will
continue to be the friend of the peo-
pie and the defender of their dearest
rights"

there, from a law and order stand
