Mother-in-Law Question in Court,

Mother-in-Law Question in court.
From the Washington Star.
The mother-in-law long ago be-
came a threadbare subject for the
jokers. At last, however, the rights
Of the mother-in-law as opposed to
those of the wife are about to have
serious judicial consideration.
In Philadelphia a young wife
has brought an action against
her mOther-in-law for $4,000
for wrecking her happiness. The
wife charges that her husband was
weaned away from her by the in
fluence of his mother. The young
man, who was an only son, imme--
diately after marriage took his
bride to live at his mothers house,
and, according to the wife's state
ment, the mother began at OEce to
poison her sons mind against his,
wife. Finally, when they were
about to take a deferred wedding
journey TO Mexico, the older
woman announced her intention
Of accompanying them, and the
son consented. Thereupon the,
bride declined to go and the Young
husband took his wedding trip i'll
company with his mother, leaving
his bride at home. Since then the
wife claims her husband has treat
ed her coldly and devoted himself
entirely to his mother. The trial of
the case will undoubtedly bring
out many points of interest regard
ing the attitude of mOthers-in-law.

Money In Old Days.

The ancient philosophers appear to
have placed a more correct estimation
upon the value Of wealth than the
solons of to-day. Fenelon tells us
that Bias of Priennr though born to
great wealth, lived without splendoI
and expended his fortune in relieving
the needy. lie used to say: "Take
care not to praise a man for his rich
es If there be no other cause for
which he deserves. il. +"
Socrates was so c0ntented in bis
poverty that, though to be rich was
at any moment within his reach, by
receiving the presents his friends aud
scholars urged him to accept, he al
ways refused them.
Aristotle said: "Riches are not de-
sirable on their own account, and
they render their posscssor unhappy
by being afraid 10 use them; to be OF
any real value they must be used and
distributed; but to seek happiness in
the mere possession Of what in itself
is contemplate and not worth hay-
ing is the greatest folly"
Being on one occasion reproached
for giving aims to a bad man, he said /:
cit was a gift to humanity, not 10
man" Bion said of penurious men
that they were as careful Of their
money as if it were really their own,
but as much afraid to use II as though
it belonged to others.-Chicago

HON. G. NJ. WILLIAMSON.

h0AHs - ~ " WAA4AAAN@A'VAfa
Hon. G. NJ. Williamson, of Jackson.
was born in Marshall county in 1856.
When he was an infant his parents
moved to Pamela county, where he
lived tin thirteen years old. He is O
sclf-made man In all that the term inn
plies. His parents were poor, and his
only opportunity for obtaining an edu-
cation was to work one year aud go to
school the next. lie attended the
common schools of the country In this
manner, and devoted himself studious-
ly TO acquiring the education they af-
forded. Ills parents were farmers
and he was raised on one. Whom on
ly fourteen years of age both of his
parents died, leaving him an orphan.
AT quite an early age he commenced 10
teach country school, aud with the
money obtained from the proceeds en-
tered the University of Mississippi,
from which institution he graduated
ia 1875, at the age of twenty. In or
der to keep himself at the university
he was forced TO teach school contin-
ously during vacations. When he
graduated he had Just fifty cents IN his
pocket. After leaving tho university
he taught school for two years, study
ing law in the meantime. In 1877 he
moved to this Qlinds) county, and dur
ing the Same year stood his examina-
ton before the Supreme Court of the
State and was granted license. lie
settled atIRaymond and commenced the
practice of his profession, soon attain
ing high rank as lawyer, developing
such skill, care and painstaking IN the
management Of his business as to win
and retain the confidence OF his clients
and the public.
In 1887 he moved to Jackson, where
his ability as a lawyer would have larg-
er scope, and has since hyed there.
lie at once took a position among the
leaders OF the bar, and has built up n
large and lucrative practice. Al the
age Of twenty-one the citizens OF Ray
mond honored him by placing him at
the head of its municipal affairs in the
capacity of mayor. This may be said
to have been the moment when he on
tered public life, since which time he
has exercised a large influence over
the politics of the county, Slate and
district. In 1886 he was chosen as one
of the county's Representatives in the
lower House. Since that time ho has
been twice elected to represent the
county In the Sena'e. lie made a splen-
did member OF each body, was always
i'm his scat. and closely watched all leg
isIation affecting his people. lie was
assigned TO some of the most import
ant committees, on all of which he per-
formed able aud conscientious work.

The Truth About Silver Coinage.

From 1892 to 1873, period Of
eighty-one years, we made Of silver
dollars only a little over 100000
pieces, while from 1873 to 1898, a
period OF only twenty years, We made
ard issued more than fifty times rs
much, and besides, have silver bull
lion purchased at cost Of over $115,-
100000 still in the treasury vaults.
That is to say, in the last twenty
years, we have done for silver nearly
sixty-fiYe times as much as we did in
the whole previous eighty-one years.
Notwithstanding all this help given
TO silver mine-owners, their product
kept declining in the market until
the fearful panic of last summer
came, and it was seen-as it had been
feared for months-that this govern
ment could not safely go on issuing
silver dollars of an intrinsic value Of
only half, or three-quarters Of a dol
lar-and so the Sherman act (of 1S90)
was repealed and we have stopped
making silver dollars-or buying sill
yer, until by international agreement.
or in some other way, we can sec the
path safe aud clear to again use sill
yer for making dollars. Meantime all
the silver money we have-over 5000, :
600, ,OOO-is kept good and going
not cent of it is "demonetized. "
Read and fix in your mind these plain
facts. and then when a man comes
whining abont the bad treatment Of
silver, tell him he is 4 aud.-Hous-
ton Post.

An Appeal 70 Cotton Planters.

The gradual consolidation Of cotton
seed oil mills for the purpose Of Great
ing cotton seed bureau to dispense
with all competition by agents and force
all cotton planters to take the very low

that the hour has arrived for some con-
cert of action amongst cotton planters.
Prompted by these ideas, we, the un-
dersigned, do lend our names to ask for
a meeting Of all cotton planters, who
are interested in this question, 10 meet
at the court house in the city Of Vicks-
burg, county Of Warren, state Of Mis-
sissippl, on July 18th, at IL m, to dis
cuss some sort Of organization With ref
erence to the disposal Of said cotton
seed products in the best and fairest

action.

Refugees at Block Island.

The Hartford Dredging Company and
Besrdsley of Bridgeport have commenced
operations on Block Island in opening up
the breachway from the Great Salt Pond to
the ocean and the establishment of the
harbor Of refugees. They entered upon
the work last Thursday, and their daily
excavation averages 1000 cubic yards. The
bresehway Is to be 300 feet wide and 15
feet deep, and the dredging involves about
1000 cubic yards. The harbor will afford
some 800 acres OF land-locked anchor
age, with depth OF water varying
from Is to 90 feet. Several members of
the New York Yacht Club have taken
special interest In he Improvement, and
IL is understood are favorable to a move
ment to secure an appropriation from
the Government for the purpose OF
widening the breachwsy TO 600 feet.
and increasing the depth. They recog-
nize the value Of the harbor, and believe
that influence should be brought to bear
upon the authorities at Washington SO
that IL may cooperate with the State
of Rhode Island and the town OF New

such an important enterprise.
