A REAL ISSUE.

The Biloxi Herald publishes letter
from Judge Robert Powell, announced
as candidate for governor, from which
the following is quoted:
81 regard the prevalence of mobs as
the crowning shame of the State and as
doing more to injure her material in
terest as well as her law abiding citizens
than all other causes combined. lam
sorry to say that Mississippi has the un
enviable notoriety of standing second
highest in the list of States which have
been disgraced by lynchings.
Il believe this evil can be suppressed
| if the audorities will take firm and
uncompromising stand against it, for
at our last term of the COpiah county
court, one man was sentenced to be
hanged and another for Imprisonment
for life for the crime of rape, without
the Intervention of any mob"
The readers of The Herald do not need
to be reminded that it stands with
Judge Powell as to lynching that "the
mob prevalence is the crowning shame
of the State and doing more to injure
Mississippi's material interests and law
abiding citizens than all causes COM
bined." We also heartily concur with
Judge Powell in his assertion that "the
evil can be suppressed by firm and
uncompromising stand of the authori-
ties" What he says of Copiah county is
not onlyla proof of what he says, but a
tribute y himself which no-one will
gainsay Or grudge.
What Judge Powell puts in words is
backed up by his record as judge, and
by his whole personality. No man who
knows hih will question his courage to
live up To the mark he aims at; and
that if evtr he fills the executive chair
and a md sets out to capture and de-
file the capital city, it will meet with
tption that win be both memorable
in the State, and honorable to the Gov
ernor. - -Vieksbur9 Herald.

Hon. Walter McLanrin died I'D tha

Hon. Walter McLaurin died at the
Governors Mansion in jackson Satur-
day morning, after a short attack of
grippe and meningitis. Walter Nc
Laurin was born in Smith county,
Miss, in 1859, and by profession was a
lawyer. He served three terms as
Railroad Commissioner, with marked
ability and faithfulness, and one year
as Warden of the Penitentiary, and it
was during the performance of his
arduous duties in the last position in
1897 that his health first broke down,
causing him to resign. He was frank,
genial and exceedingly social in his
disposition, and was probably the most
popular and best known personally Of
all the 8 McLaurin brothers. THE
LEADER records his untimely death,
coming as it did in the very meridian
Of his usefulness, with profound and
sincere sorrow.

All the Truckers are delighted with
the sunshine and are hard at work

tomato plants are looking fine. Next

Depot Location Decided On.


The track laying on the Boyer Valley
Line is going on in earnest at the Wall
Lake end. The first spike was driven
by the Assistant Engineer, last week.
AT the DenHison end Tie work will hot
start for about two weeks. when tenn
porary line will be laid across the north
end of the yards to allow construction
train to pass. Macarthur Bros, who
have the contract, expect to have the
entire line laid by July.
Work on the yards and the change Of
main line track will commence about
the time the track laying begins.
The location of the newlfreight house
has been decided on, and it will be di-
rectly west of the present depot.
The recent heavy rains have delayed
work on the grading badly on both
roads, and several small cuts near
DelOit were washed full of dirt.
The end of May will see the grading
done on this end of the line with the
exception of McAhren's yard work at
Denison and the yards at Delolt.

THE DENOTE LECTURE.

The lecture Saturday evening was
one of the best it not the best lecture of
the course. Professor DeMotte's sub
ject was python Eggs and the Amer
lean Boy" His lecture was illustrated
by an unusually good stereopticop.
The Professor began by describing
the python and its habits. His first il
lustration was the skeleton of the head
of python. This showed the peculiar
structure of the jaw which the, monster
can dislocate when necessary to swal-
low its prey. When once it siezes it's
prey it never let's go, and after its feast
it is dormant and harmless for season.
This illustrates the effect OF our
thoughts and acts upon the brain in
the formation of habits. He showed
the condition of the brain when the
cells were over charged with blood as a
result of any passion. After this has
been discharged by the indulgence of
the passion, for season there is quiet,
but the strange result seems to he that
there is desire or tendency tor the
same cells to become congested again
and repeat the same act, and if this is
allowed to continue, the time comes
when it is beyond the control of the in
dividual to resist this impulse. Conse-
quently passions must not be INDUCED
in the least. Beware of the python
which never lets 60 when once it siezes
its prey.
lie showed the condition of the brain
cells at the beginning of any activity
) and the change which attends weari-
ness. He stated that it takes two
hours and q half of sleep for nature to
remove the waste products produced by
mental labor, aud i've hours to rebuild
the cell. Woe to the mau that en-.
deavors by stimulants to force the
brain to act when it is wearied On
account of the need of this time for re.
pair of nervous tissue no person car
walk 1000 miles in 1000 consecutive
hours, walking no more than one mile
III single hour.
The lecturer declared positively that
there never has been a genuine case Of
mind reading. AS for mediums, clar
voyancy. palmistry, etc, they were suct
arrant humbugs that they were no,
worth considering.
The grand climax of the lecture
which was continuation OF this one
given last winter was Formation i!

Anton Gaester of Paradise township
brought seven wolf scalps into the aud
TORS Office yesterday, receiving the
bounty of $l4 therefor. This reminded
the office boys of some wolf stories, one
of prominent farmer who bought a
young wolf for pet. His wolflet got
along all right until one day an old SOW
fearful of her litter got after him and
killed him. The farmer brought the
wolf scalp in to get his bounty. In
order to get his bounty one must swear
he killed the wolf himself. The farmer
said he did not kill the wolf, his sow
killed him. He was willing to swear
the SOW committed the murder, but
gave up the bounty rather than swear
to what was not strictly the truth. Jud
Gary remarked that the farmer was a
free silver man, and we thought it a
pity that such good man should have
been so mislead. The second story was
of ayoung fellow who brought in twelve
young wolves in a sack. They were
alive and the deputy said they were not
running musee and only paid for the
scalps of dead ones. The young man
then took his sackful of wolves out to
the back door of the court house
grabbed thep1 age sbyoSAe, Hyns6a ataD
and deliberately dashed ftheir brxinsout
against shet side Of the court house
The deputy recorder almost tainted
when she saw the awful slaughter, and
the court house had to undergo thor
ough Cleaning, but the young man got
his bounty. g

Expansion is bloodshed" quoth the
Bulletin. The fact is that in this life
no great gain or advancement is made
with out its losses or its struggles. The
man who refrains from effort goes TO
the poor house and the nation which
refuses to take its part in the worlds
struggles falls into decay. Anti.expan-
sionists point to Rome and Greece as
horrible examples. These countries
had at least history and led life that
was worth living. Expansionists may
point to China. Ithas never expanded.
1t has slept through all the centuries,
it is about to die unhonored and un-
sung, relic of the past. While we do
not favor unnecessary bloodshed, still
we do believe our country must play its
part as assigned it by Providence OF
else prove recreant to it's trust.
