There will be Il local option
election in Attala county next
Friday, Sept. 1st. In the light
of our experience in South Mis-
sissippi, it sounds absurd to hear
of the whisky men bringing for
ward in that county the old ex
ploded arguments about Prohibi-
ton injuring trade, depriving
men of their personal liberty,
etc. Such shallow twaddle car
ries one back in memory nearly u
decade ago, when the same bosh
was industriously retailed by John
Barleycorn's strikers in this sec
ton.

M. Royal, who will sail Nov. 10th as mis-

Editors Good Enough in Their Way

The editor OF the Mt. Sterling Sentinel
Democrat has learned something of the
ingra.itu of party. He complains that
after having worked night and day for
the party for ten years and spent his
time and money for it, when he asked
for seat in the Legislature he couldn't
get twas told, in effect, to stay at home
and attend to his business. This is not
an isolated case. 1t often happens that
the man who does the most work for the
party is the first one to get black eye
when he sets himself up
for Office, while the fellow who does
nothing for himself or party walks off
with big slice of pie. Besides, an edit
or, who tries to do his duty, is seldom
popular. Editors are good enough in
their way-it is very nice to have them
around to help other people to get office,
but IL is presumptuous TO ask for any
thing in that line for themselves. The
editor who wants TO be independent
and he is not OF much force unless he
has some backbone in matters of this
kinks seldom an office-seeker, and
consequently his trials and disappoint-
ments comes from other sources

BOTH LEGS CUT OFF.
D. 7. Apologize Loses His Life in the
Discharge Of His Duty.
[Elizabethtown News.)

WEST POINT, Nov. 7th.-One OF the
saddest accidents in the history Of West
Point, was that which caused the death
OF one of West Points oldest citizens Mr..
d. T. APPLICABLE, Wednesday Nov. list.
Mr.. Apologize was employed by the rail
road company as bridge Waterman and
was always very particular in the dis
charge of his duty, often saying that he
considered himself in great measure
responsible for the safe conduct over the
bridge of so many precious lives. The
day he was killed wreck at Valley Sta
ton caused all the trains to be late. He
signaled the west bound passenger train
of the L., st. l.. & T., to pass and in step
ping aside he slipped and fell with his
feet across the rail- The engine was so
close upon him that he could not regain
his footing, and the engineer was power
less to save him. The engine passed
over him cutting off the lower limbs be-
low the knees. He became unconscious
and died in few minutes. The engineer
Bob Linley in giving his testimony at
the inquest was so grieved at the sad
accident that he cried like a child. He
was exonerated from all blame and as
Mr.. Apologize was careful man in
everything, why he met his death in so
cruel a way can only be accounted as one
of the mysterious dispensations of pro-
violence. The funeral was to be preach
ed at the church, but in the absence of
the minister, Mr.. Frank Lord presided.
The body was viewed by the Lodge
members and friends; several hymns
were sung and a most beautiful and
touching prayer was offered by Mr.. Lord
The remains were taken to River View
on the noon train and were laid away in
the family graveyard. The ceremony at
the grave was conducted by Col Ike
Kelly according to the Masonic ritual.
The Masons turned out in full regalia
and took charge of the remains at the de-
pot. Mr.. Applegate was a Mason in
good standing and was in the 74th year
OF his age. He leaves wife, one son
and two daughters, and a number of
grandchildren, two great. grandchildren
and host Of friends to mourn his sad
DEATH To them all We extend our
heartfelt sympathy in their irreparable
loss and great sorrow.

The Horse That Lives in the White
House.

A horse has his home in the White
House. This is literal fact which visi-
tors never discover, and which few
Washington people know The horse
which shares the Executive Mansion
with the President isn't thoroughbred.
He has neither pedigree nor record.
He is just plain, everyday horse, with
a white star in his forehead, faithful
companion to Edgar r. Beckley.
And who is Edgar r. Beckley? The
man who for twenty-five years has car
ried to and from the White House all OF
the interesting and valuable mail receiv-
ed and sent, and who has never been
found remiss in his duty. There are
men who seem bound to be monuments
OF fidelity to routine trusts. Beckley is
one OF them. Rain or shine, in all sea
sols, he makes the hourly trips between
the White House and the city Post
Office. He is the White House mail
carrier. And the horse that has his
home in the White House carries Beck
ley.
The part OF the mansion set apart for
the horse is one corner Of the conserva-
tory. A thin partition is all that sepa-
rates the roomy stall from the orchids.
There is just room enough for the
stall and temporary supply of feed
and there the horse eats and sleeps,
under the same roof with the President
OF the United states.-St. Louis Globe
