The PnrYis Case,
tress.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. l9.-The Su-
preme Court has denied the motion
of Attorney General johnson 70 re-
sentence Will PurvIs, the White cap
who escaped the death moose by the
bungling job of Sheriff McGee, in
Marion county, while attempting to
execute the mandate of the Court to
hang him for killing twin Buckley.
The Supreme Court stated that it
had nothing whatever to do with the
Circuit Court as provided in section
1851 of the Annotated Code of 1892.
Purvis cannot be resentenced until
the June term of the Circuit Court
at Columbia unless Judge Terrell
shall sooner call special term for
that purpose.
The impression grows stronger
every day that while Will Purvis was
present when Buckley was assassin
ated, bis father, Ike Purvis did the
killing, and that the white caps cast
lots as to who should do the bloody
work and the choice fell upon Ike
Purvis.
1t is reported that Will Purvis has
made fuller confession than has
been published. and that greater
number of people are implicated al
white caps in Marion county thar
the public had suspicioned.
Will Puryis is in Jail at Hatties
burg.

BOOM TIE BAY.

Pass Christian has organized an
improvement society and the citizens
of our sister city are putting shoul-
der to shoulder and are determined
10 make lively city of their town.
Don't you think it would be about
the proper thing to organi re an i'm
provement society and try and lift
old Bay st Louis out of the rut and
place her in hourishing condition
among the thriving, prosperous
cities of the State? The merchants
and business men generally should
call msating for the purpose of de-
visiog means whereby factories and
other industries can be established
here. Every business man, every
property owner and every citizen
with the interest Of the town at heart
should become q member. Do you
know what it takes to make a town!
1t takes live, energetic business men !;
1t takes the united effort Of every
citizen to induce strangers TO locate
and invest their money. 1t is not
the sleepy drone who sits In his
store from morning Till night, con-
tent with selling few small articles
each day with hardly ambition
enough to draw his breath that makes
town prosperous. Its the wide
awake hustler who advertises his bus
mess and let's the people know he's
alive; who is ever on the alert to
induce strangers to locate in his
town; who stands up for his town in
preference to any other place or
earth; who takes an interest in the
Improvement Of the streets, side
walks and thoroughfares; who beau
tifies his own home with shade trees
and flowers; purchases every necessi
ty of life at a home market, theieb
keeping the money in his own towr
instead Of sending it to some othe
city. Are you in favor Of revivint
the business interest of Bay st Loui
and making her the best little cit.
in the State. If so, let's get togetb
er and discuss the matter. Th
coast will undergo q great man
changes during the next few year
and If Bay St Louis wants to ''ge
in on the ground foor'' it will b
necessary to get up and hustle.

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

There has for some months been,
as every body is aware, great strin-
gency in the money market, and var
ious causes have been given fot this
condition in financial matters, some
claiming it to be the direct result of
vicious Republican legislation, in
fostering great manufacturing inter-
ests at the expense Of the laboring
classes. sOthers attribute it solely
to the Sherman silver bill, whil1 still
others look upon it as the outcome of
a feeling of distrust regarding the
future policy Of the administrative
and legislative branches of the gov
ernment. Each of these may have,
and possibly did, contribute share
in bringing about the crisis from
which the country is just emerging.
The Sherman purchasing law was re-
pealed, but the Mckinley tariff
schedule was still operative, and
while matters began TO mend the inn
proyement was scarcely perceptible.
Last week, however, the Wilson tar
if bill passed the lower house of
congress, showing "a determination
on the part of the party in power to
redeem the pledges made in its plat
form and the direct result of its ac-
tion is noticeable in the easing up Of
hitherto-close financial conditions,
a markedlincrease in the volume of
money in circulation and the gener-
al resumption of work in large man
ufacturng establishments through
out the entire U1ion.
The signs of the time point to
brighter days, and at present we can
only see one obstacle TO the consum-
alton of the good times coming, and
that is the thought that the new tar
if hill may be defeated in the Senate.
1t is to be hoped that the Democrat
ic members, in that body will lay
aside all sectional selfishness in this
question and let their actions be such
as will result IN the greatness good
to the greatest number. The Demo-
cratic.party is on trial before the ma
tion, and IL 1t fails to redeem fully
every pledge which it has made to
better the conditions Of the masses,
the scepter will pass from its hands
and public indignatian will bury it
so deep that it will never be resur-
rected, while on the other hand, by
fulfilling its promises, it will lay a
foundation for lis existence as en-
during as the nation which turned TO
it for succor in its time Of dire dis
tress.

A Novel Campaign.
burg.

Topeka, Kansas, Feb. 17.-The
Populists propose a novel way OF
campaigning. They will organize a
theatrical company Of young people
of requisite talent as an adjunct to
the State campaign and send them
over the State, giving plays depict
ing the woes and ills Of the work.
ing classes. A number Of plays OF
this character have been written and
it is believed that the scheme will
make a great hit. Gov. Lewelling is
said to have approved Of it, and other
leading Populists agree with him.
The proposition has been submitted
TO Chairman Breidenthal, and it will
be acted on at the next meeting OF
the State central committee.

her people mourn the loss Of Mr..
White as Senator for he had at heart
the interest Of sugar.

"Oklahoma has the worst blizzard
ever kL own, and settlers are suffer-
ing horribly Dispatch of Feb.
12th in VicksbulO Post
The Greenville Times reproduc, s
the above dispatch, and terms IL the
same old story and asks why didn't
they come to Mississippi. Every
body has some conception of a North
western blizzald, though happily
our knowledge of the reality is of the
very faintest. Sometimes, when the
blizzard Of the Northwest are extra
ordinarily outrageous, as in the pre-
sent instance, we get hint of them
here. The storm which caused the
unhappy Oklahomates to "suffer
horribly" made our peach trees
change their minds abous blooming
and nippcd the strawberry blossoms
that had come out to previously. On
the morning Of the 18th there was a
skim of ice ON the puddles, and the
ground was so nearly frozen that one
could almost walk on it without get
ting his shoes muddy. Men button
ed up their overcoats, and remem-
bered to put their gloves on. The
thermometer went dowl to 80 de-
grees, from temperature of 55 on
Sunday. Vegetation was starting,
and all the early flowers and leaves
were struck with q panic. Only the
violets were hardy enough to con
tinue bloming. 1t was hard on the
little chickings, too, and the old hens
had good deal Of work to do to
keep them warm.
Such, o ye who are suffering
horribly" in Oklahoma, was our
"blizzard." Suppose, instead OF
that mad rush into the bore desert,
you had come TO this peaceful land
of plenty. Instead Of crouching,
starved and frozen in your dugouts,
and sending out lamentations to the
world over the result Of your own
folly, you might have been in the
possession of comfortable homes in
q land where no man can freeze or
starve; where Nature is SC kind that
human suffering Is unknown, except
from the most fragrant and wilful
canses, and where food and fuel are
so much matter Of course that their
preciousness Is never realized. II
the Oklahoma sufferers live through
their blizzard let them mount their
prairie schooners and come down to
spend the next winter with US, where
the cyclones cease from troubling
and the bllzzards are at rest.

Ten days loss of time on account
Of sickness and doctor bill TO pay,
is any thing but pleasant for a man of
a family to contemplate, whether he
is laborer, mechanic, merchant or
publisher. Jas. o. Jones, publisher
of the leader, Mexla, Texas, was sick
in bed for ten days with the grip
during its prevalence year two ago.
Later in the season he had second
attack. He says: "In the latter
case I used Chamberlain,s Cough
Remedy with considerable success
I think, only being in bed little
over two days. The second attack
| am satisfied would have been as
bad as the first hut for the use OF
this remedy" 1t should be borne
in mind that the grip is much the
same as a very severe cold and re-
quires presisely the same treatment
When you wish to cure cold quick
ly and effectually give this remedy
a trial. 25 and so cent bottles foi

Interview With Mlssissipprs ExTreas-
urCT.

urcr.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 81 The
Times Democrat correspondent to-
day interviewed eX-S,ate 7 asurcr
w. l.. Hemingway, touching the
movement recently inaugura;ed to
secure his pardon. lie stated that
he had been apprised of the action
being taken in his behalf and that i,
was altogether voluntary on the part
Of his friends. He expressed him
self as being very much averse to
having his case further discussedy by
the press, saying that everything 10
connection Herewith has already
been published and repubIlshed, and
lie could not see any good to result
from 1t, or how his case could be
affected one way or another by u
renewal Of these publications.. He
was asked if there were ony new de-
veIopments or additional evidence
tending to show his innocence. lie
SAID there were none not already
made pupllc. He here repeated
what he has SAID from the beginning
of his troubles, and has always per-
sisted in. That, in effect, If any
money was taken from the treasury,
it was taken from the place provided
by the State for its keeping, but that
no part thereof vas taken or used by
him, nor by any other person with
his consent or knowledge.
He further said that he had been
charged by some of his friends with
neglect, but that the charge was
wrong; that he had never been guilty
of any neglect in connection with the
treasury; that his only omission, as
now developed, but which at the
time he deemed wholly unnecessary
was in not having from time to time
counted all the moneys in tie treas
ury; that he did not do this was be-
cause at the close Of business each
day balance was struck snd all
was shown to be right, and the mon
ey placed in the vault where he
thought it would remain safe.
He said that at no time had he ever
speculated in money, scrip or land in
connection with!his Office, though he
had frequent and ample opportunities
to have done so that at one time there
were locked up in the vault Of the
treasury and withheld by law from
circulation 5000, 900, which sum he
could have used without incurring
any risk whatever in the purchase Of
liqui lating levee scrip, which was on
the market at mere nominal value
and which he knew, from q decision
Of the Supreme Court, was compelled
to enhance in value and which soon
did sell for. ninety cents on the dollar.
He also stated that while STATE
Treasurer he, in connection with the
Auditor, sold over million acres of
land in the Mississippi Delta belong
to the Levee Board, much Of which
was very valuable and desirable, and
which sold for a mere song; that his
connection with said sales gave him
ample opportunity to have spcculated
largely IN these lands, but that he
never purchased even so much as one
acre thereof.
These statements were not made
by the ex-treasurer with view of
their publication. When making
them be had not the most distant
idea that they would be published, or
as before stated, he is very much
averse to a further discussian of his
affairs by the press.
