priscs have been projected whose

not the slightest ripple upon the

1t is very natural that Col. Heming-
ways bondsmen and his near person
al friends should fondly cling to the
delusion that the treasury shortage
may yet be explained on some ground
consistent with his innocence, but
such hopes will never be realized. A
little honest, energetic effort in trying
to discover how he used the missing
money, instead of so much expert
ing" on the books to prove that they
are guilty, would no doubt be much
more convincing, if not so palatable.

I NhCIC Has the Money Gone ?
The suggestion of the Mississippian
that a direct investigation I've institut-
81 to- ascertain what went with the
S3Ij,6l3l9 stolen from the State
Treasury. has met with hearty en-
dor>cmcut throughout the State.
Sine The last issue of the LEADER
District Attorney Miller was met on

Il thorough investigation of this kind
would discover some very interesting
facts.
For instance, he went on to say, there
are some things shown by Green's old
Bank hooks. not known To the gener-
al public, which do not at all accord
with the claim of innocence so fire.
qucntly and persistently urged by Col.
Hemingway and Lis friends. These
/ books. as discovered Ivy Mr.. Patty,
show that the 100000 of insurance
money was deposited by the exTreas
urcr in Green's Bank and afterward
| the whole amount checked out to
! Hemingway & Townsend. w. l.. NJ
gent. !. ;. Hamilton and other ipdi-
viduals in different sums, just as if it
/ had been the trcasurer's own private
! funds.
/ Mr.. Miller further stated that he
offered to introduce this evidence in
court on the trial of Hemingway, but
it was stubbornly objected to by his
counsel, and the objection sustained
10y the court on the gronnd that the
/ books were not the Tgeasurer's own
books and that the bookkeeper who
made the entries could not be reached
and brought into court to verify and
explain the entries.
These facts are certainly not COM
patible with the claim of innocence
and need explaining very badly.
There is another circumstance con
nected with this matter that has al
ways seemed to- us altogether incOm-
patihle with the theory of innocence,
and that is, that Col. Hemingway re-
fused to take the witness stand under
oath, as was his right, and assert his
innocence before a jury of his peers
when he had an opportunity to do so,
and as only man conscious of per-
sonal rectitude, could have done.
Was it not rather because he dared
not subject himself to cross eXami-
nation about these same Green's
Bank books and other things mcon-
sistcnt with his claim of innocence
No matter how much he denies using
the money and how often aud how
strongly his personal friends profess
to believe in his innocence, the people
will never accept his bare denial in
the face of these and other damaging
facts.
Meantime let there be an end of !

Auditors books. and let the MISSISSIPPI |

missing money he adopted instead.

In the discussion of Irish potato
culture at the meeting of the State
Horticultural Society, among other
points brought out was that in exper-
iments made at the Mississippi Exper-
iment Station with whole and cut po-
tatoes, those cut to one eye produced
40 bushels per acre; two eyes 200
bushels; half potatoes 2SS bushels and
whole potatoes $50 bushels per acre.
The general opinion seemed, how
ever, to be that potatoes cut to two
eyes were the best on an average.

John P. Matthews, youngest son OF
the late print" Matthews, was killed
at CarrolltOn Oh Christmas day by a
young druggist named w. S. Mcbride,
while on the street with Winchester
looking for Mcbride, with whom he
had had row the night before. Nc
Bride used a shot gun. Young Mat
thews was postmaster at CarrOllton,
and bore the reputation of being a
0uarrelsome and turbulent character.
A dispatch from Carrollton says: He
has been before the officers here al
most every week on various charges
drunkenness, profanity, carrying
concealed weapons, assault and bat
terry and other offenses. He took
possession of passenger train on the
Georgia Pacific Railroad while drunk,
about II months ago, and frightened
a large lot of the Industrial College
girls nearly out of their wits by
brandishing a pistol, and was only
conquered by the porter and conductor
beating him down and disarming him,
and for which he was under indict-
ment at the time of his death.
