nal cases only. Jesse Perryman, the
negro who was brought to Meridian
to escape the vengence Of a mob for
Outraging a white woman near Easta.
bucthie, was indicted, tried and con,
victed Of rape and sentenced to be
hanged on August 5th. Steve Will
liaEs and Joe Manassoe, both negroes,
were each convicted and sentenced to
two years In the penitentiary for es-
Gaping. Only about eight hours were
consumed in impanneling the juries,
grand and petit, hearing the wit
nesses, ETC., and sentencing the priss
oners and disposlng of the cases.
This is the way the law onght to be
enforced. II the judges in the other
districts in the State will follow the
example Of Judge Mayors they will
practically put an end to lynching in
Mississippi. When the courts demon
strate, as both Judge Mayors and
Judge Huddleston have done, that
the law can and will be enforced and
punishment inflicted swiftly and sum.
marily, it will be almost impossible t0
raise.a mob to lynch a man. The
great mass of the people are law.abid.
ing and opposed to mob rule and the
principal reason they take the law In.
to their own hands when hcinous
crimes are committed is the belief
that the criminal will escape punish1
ment through the slow machinery Of
the courts. When it is shown that
justice can be dealt out, and dealt out
by the regularly constituted authori-
ties, the people will not only respect
the courts, but aid them in enforcing
the law.
Judge Mayors, who called at the
Herald Office yesterday to pay his re-
spects, 10 speaking OF the matter said
that II is his intention to cali u special
term OF court in his district whenever
an Infamous crime like that OF Perry.
mans Is committed. The Judge thinks
that the interests Of society, the
State, the county and even the accused
himself require speedy trial, and he
proposes to see to II that the wheels 0l
justice do not become rusty 10 his dis.
trict. And he Is right. Every man
in the State who respects the law will
applaud his action and wish for more
judges just like Mayors.

BRAVE WORDS WELL SPOKEN

| Savannah News.
The Chicago Convention was regu
larly chosen and organized, and the
platform adopted was representative
of the majority sentiment OF the con.
vention. That being the case, the
platform became the party law, tu
continue Of force until the meeting
OF the next national convention, and
it became the duty Of all Democrats
to support the regular Democratic
ticket. This being. the only safe and
correct party policy, the Morning
News adhered to it, notwithstanding
it had opposed the silver issue as EN-
bodied in the Chicago platform.
We seriously question that any
Democrat had good grounds" for vot-
ing for Mckinley. There was moth
ing in the Republican campaign to
hold out hope to the Democracy. The
whole history Of the Republican party
is one succession Of jobs and schemes
and robberies perpetrated upon the
people. There was no reason why any
Democrat should place one iota OF
confidence 10 the Republican party,
under any circumstances whatsoever.
The leopard cannot change its spots;
the Republican party never changes
its character. 1t was very well under.
stood during the entire campaign
what might be expected in the event
Of Republican success. No well.in.
formed person had any idea that the
Republicans could, or would, take
hold Of the financial question and set
tie II In a satisfactory manner, but
everybody knew that one OF the first
acts Of that party upon It's return to
power would be to pass just such a
tariff bill as is now pending in Con.
gress. In so far as the financial ques-
tion Is concerned, the country is at
present cropping in the dark, without
one ray of light ahead. Would this
have been SO II the Democrats had
won? There would, no doubt. have
been q financial c0nvulslon, possibly
very severe and far reaching; but there
would have been hope ahead. Who
can say that we shall not have to
suffer the cOnvulsion after all? Who
will say that IL Is better to prol0ng
the agOny-the depression in trade,
commerce, etc.-while the trusts, mo.
n0pOlies and other favOrites OF the
Republican party feed upon the vitals
Of the country?
The Democratic party Is the only
organization that has the power TO
hold the Republicans IN check. 1t is
the only party competent to defend
the people from their despOilers. This
being true-and II cannot be success.

VACANT STATE LAND.
A HEAVY BUSINESS HAS BEEN DONE
IN THE JACKSON LAND OFFICE.
Picayune Bureau.

Picayune Bureau.
The value of business transacted by
the United States Land Once at Jack
son, Miss, for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1897, Is a matter of interest.
The appended statement shows the
amount Of lands disposed of, charac-
ter and number Of entries allowed,
the amount Of vacant land left In the
State by counties, and contains other
valuable information. The business
OF the office was very large; 10 fact the
Office is nearly double maximum one.
In addition to the land shown to
have been disposed Of in the tables be.
low, the township secured by Gov.
McLaurin when he was Senator, for
the girls college at Columbus, was se.
lected during the year just ended.
Patents for upwards of thirty thous-
and acres were also issued to the Gulf
and Ship Island Railroad Company,
and, on the other hand, quite a guam
tity OF land which has been withheld
from entry on account Of being en-
braced 10 sections by the Gulf and
Ship Island road has new been opened
to entry In the counties lying along
that road, in addition to the opening
OF 5000 acres in Harrison county
heretofore noted In the PicaYune. AS
there have been so many lists Of lands
selected by the road, some of which
have been allowed and some rejected,
some patented and some opened to en-
try, that when parties address the
land office In reference to any lands
that have been mixed up 10 any way
with this grant, they should describe
by section, township and range the
particular land that they desire to in-
qnre.Of, as "A general inquiry touching
"Gulf and Ship Island land" cannot
be satisfactorily answered.
The number OF entries for the fiscal
year closing June 80 was as follows:
Original homestead entries, 1895,
aggregating 1925 49-1OO acres.
The number of hnal homestead en-.
tries final proof accepted) was 1917,
aggregating l9O, ,543 99-1OO acres.
The number Of entries cOmmutcd
and purchased at sl.25 per acre, after
acceptance Of proof OF residence and
cultivation for fourteen months, was
81, aggregating l0,473 2O-1OO acres.
The number Of cash entries THAT is,
entries wherein the quarter-section
over 100 acres and appli.
cants were required to purchase the
excess at sl.25 per acre) was 2O9, aggre-
eating 432 S-l0O acres.

ONLY 4 BABY.

Something to live for came TO the place,
Something to die for, maybe,
Something to give each sorrow a grace
And yet 1t was only baby!
Cooling and laughter and gurgles and cries,
Dimples for tenderest kisses.

Chaos Of fears and of blisses.

But heaven stopped under the roof on the
