TIE judicial authorities of the
state of Mississippi are just now
engaged i'll solving very difficult
question On July 3 there was
hanged at Mayersville, Miss. a
negro named Grant Wilson. His
neck was not broken by the drop
of seven feet, and he died from
strangulatiOn to all appearances.
He was taken from the scaffOld
cold and stiff, and pronounced by
the physicians in attendance as
being dead, and was so pronounced
by the local authorities in due form
and returns were made that the
Judgment of the court had been
satisfied. After being placed in
his coffin and on the road to his
home, he, to the utter discontinue
of his driver, revived and is now
well and hearty as ever with the
exception that he is unable to
articulate or utter a sound. He is
the only man in the history of

officially pronounced to be dead
and vet came to life. Several
hours elapsed between the time
that he was taken out of the moose
dead, according to the authorized
physician of the state, to the time
when he was found to be living.
The legal mind of the state is now
being agitated by the question as
to whether the man is dead or not.
The law pronounced him SO. The
sheriff and other officials certified
that the sentence of the law had
been complied with and to their
Official returns was attached the
certificate of death of the attending
surgeons. 1t now remains to be
decided whether or not "a criminal
can be hanged twice for the same
crime.

The attention Of the readers is
called to the advertisement Of the
Northwest Texas Baptist college
in this issue. Young men and young
ladies, who are expecting to leave
home to attend college, should hesi-
tate before going a long distance
when there is a college only a few
hours ride from them which has a
curriculum equal to any. Economy
in education is commendable when
no sacrifice is made. Why spend
money travelling hundreds of miles
for an education when the very best
can be had almost at your door.
Decatur, Texas, IS only 100 miles
from Ardmore; beautiful and
healthful location. The faculty il
one of the most efficient in the
south, with A. j. Emerson at its
head. Emerson is recognized as a
leading educator of the country; a
gentleman of large and profitable
experience. he has the true idea
OF education, that is thoroughness
in all things. He does not hesitate
to tell the average young man or
lady that it will take i've years Of
hard work TO complete the course of
study and gain a diploma from his
college. But a degree from this in
stitution will mean something. IL

AMONG the many avenues that
are opening to women that of the
stage stands among the most
prominent. 1t may be said that
only during the last very few
years has the life of an actress
been considered one OF respecti-
bility. Great changes have of late
been made in public sentiment in
regard to life on the stage. how
ever, and many actresses have not
only made exceptionally good
marriages. but what is more to
the point have likewise made eX-
ceptiOnally good wives. The ac-
tiOn taken by the ladies of the
profession at the time when Made
line Pollard, the woman who fig
ured in the Breckenridge ease,
turned to the stage as means of
making money by the vile nOter-
iety she had acquired, was notable
and praiSewOrthy. Her attempt
to come before the footlights was
frowned down by every actress of
repute in the country, and the
lady was relegated to that obscur-
itv that she will adorn so well.

MONEY, BANKING, BUSINESS.
Enormous frame and Trade Carried on
nv the Country.

This country carries on an enormous busi-
ness, says Harpers Weekly, Its foreign
commerce lastoyear amounted to S1,547 ,00O,-
600. Three-foufths Of our exports were OF ag-
ricultural products. How much money was
employed in carrying on this trade? The ex-
ports and imports OF gold will not begin TO
pay for all this business In 1894 the total
gold exports amounted to ST. .16222s and the
net gold exports to S4,l72 Cos. In 1898 the
net gold exports from this country amounted
to SS6,S97,215. Much of the gold that went
from this country was for the payment OF
debts represented by securities which the
foreign holders sold because they were afraid
that our currency was about to deterlorate;
that we were about to become a silver couu-
try. Much more went abroad because we
had too much money in this country. The
result OF this surplus was that interest
abroad was higher than interest in the United
States, and consequently while a good many
OF the fnanciers who devote their time and
energies to surrounding the money question
with mystery were crying out that we had
! not money enough. our surplus money was
seeking employment In Europe. 1t is evil
dent that our foreign commerce was not en-
tirely carried on with real money, nor
did the national banks OF the country
carry on all their transactions in such
money. On October 2, 1894, as we learn
from Secretary Carlisle's report the national
D"'hS hdu iOdhtu pE,VU1, ,l6G,iJl. buJ Nle
money of all kinds in the banks amounted
to $422, ,42S,192 only. In September, 1894, all
the money in the United States amounted to
S24lSOOO,O 900. This was a little more than
the sum that was then out on loans by the
banks. But even this amount was not all
used In business. The amount in circulation
in September 1894, was 81, ,655 039 900. AL
| though the silver men were crying out for
! money, the country was not using all the
| money then in existence, and yet, Judging
| from the amount of loans and discounts
alone, 1t was using tools Of exchange that
| represented much more. Moreover, we had
and continue to have a greater amount
| CT money per capita than any
| country except France, The Neither
| lands and Belgium. The amount of money
\ In the United States was $25 OF per capita,
while Great Britain possessed S19.9S per

| OF silver of full legal tender is actually the
! largest. If we except India and China. At
] the same time our stock of uncovered paper
4 is larger than that of any other country
except Russia and the South American
states. For long time our company in
the money market has been questionable.
