has not done so in the past,
Navy department officials say
that armor for our warships can
not be bought for $500 a ton,
the limit set by the last congress.
a statement made before the
house naval committee shows
conclusively that it could be if
there was NOT an armor trust,
formed to bleed the government.
One of the members of this trust
sold Russia three thousand tons
of the same armoT for S240 a ton.
1t was claimed by a representa-
tive of that company that $4,000
was lost on that order, for the
purpose of introducing their ar
NOR in Europe. This claim was
a direct admission that the ar
NOR only cost $3.50 a ton; yet,
the trust got the price fixed at
$3.50 ton in the bill as firstp pass
ed by congress. The reduction
was made by the senate. That
is the sort OF business that makes
rich trusts and disgusus those
who believe in old fashioned hon.
est dealing with the government
as we'll as with individuals. If
the trust can make armor for
S253 a ton, which its agents say
it can, it can certainly afford to
sell it to the government for $500
a ton, but, of course, that is no
reason that it will. 1t will prob
ably prefer making the next con-
gress raise the price, and the
next congress, being republican
in both branches, will probably
be easier to control than the last
was.

BRAGs ON MISSISSIPPI.


The jackson Bulletin says: A
correspondent of the Yazoo Her.
aid has been reading an interest,"
ing novel called Census Re-
port, and tells Of a few things he
found therein, which are worthy
the attention Of all our citizens.
He says:
found that the average num-
ber of deaths in 1000 population
per annum in the whole of the
United States is Is. In Massa-
chusetts IS, Missouri II, Virgin
10 16, Kansas 10, Alabama IA
and the great health resort, Coll
orado, 10, while Mississippi
comes up smiling with IL and
none Of them starved or frozen
to death, II we would quit
drinking blind tiger whisky, 1t
would come down to 10. So much
for health.
/ find also that we are less in
debt than any other state, both
publicly and privately.
The mortgage and public in
debtedness per capita in New
York state is S301, Nebraska
$40, Missouri 500, Virginia SAT,
Georgia S26. Again we find
Mississippi at the bottom with
St9.66. The average for all the
states is S1l4 per head. But
you say we could not get in debt
because OF some craw- fishir &
back in tho good old days. /
have not time to settle that ques-
tion, but skipping few chapters
to find how the characters came
out, | found this flattering fact:
The average value OF farm pro-
ducts per acre in all the states is
SO. SS; Ohio ST. 81, Illinois S7.20.
Nebraska S4 .38. Mississippi is
now on top with SOTO. The
average value of farm lands inn
proved and unimproved per acre
in the United States is S25. 55 !.
In Ohio S51, Minnesota S22.
Nebraska S4 32, with Mississip-
pi 50 so.
! could here 90 into a discus
sion Of the question why we are
not oil rich, but the novel / am
speaking about does not tell me.
In the matter of education,
though the northern people say
we have no earthly use for the
letter r in calling a word, we are
no slouch in spending money.
We appropriate orpublic schools
per capita as much as Massa-
shusetts, the state Of culture par
excellence. Well, perhaps, pos
sibly and peradventure We might
spend less for this.

EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY

We, the members OF Bogue
Chitto church and Sunday School
wish to extend to Mrs. Briley our
heartfelt sympathy in her hour OF
sad bereavement, caused by the
death OF her husband and son.
Bro. b. +. Briley was for a
long time consistent member of
this church. He took an active
part in all church work. and was
always ready and willing to bear
his part in all financial matters
pertaining to the church. He
was also a great Sunday School
worker, being one Of our best
teachers while in our midst.
Nothing but sickness Kept him
from meeting his class on Sunday
morning. In his removal from
our midst the church and Sunday
School both sustained great
loss.
Bro. b. H. Brlley became
member Of this church when
quite young, and while he was
with us he made a faithful Chris
tian and Sunday School pupil.
RESOLVED, That a copy of
these resolutions be sent to Sister
Briley and the Magnolia Gazette
and The Baptist for publication.

The Biloxi Review closes an
editorial on Congressman McLain
as follows;
The Review is not given to slush
but we delight TO pay tribute to
the earnest conservation to a .in-

ing of his district, that has anil
mated the distinguished gentle
man sent to congress as its rep
resentative. Mr.. McLain has not
by any means done as we thought
he should--he has approved
measures we do not approve, but
this is simply difference of opin-
ion that by no means reflects
upon either his honesty or his in
telligence. He has done what he
thought was right and we honor
him as being one ofthe most con-
scientious, faithful and efficient
congressman that have ever re-
ceived honors of this or any other
district. In the few months that
he has been in congress, he has
accomplished more for the pros
perity of this district than his
predecessors have been able to
do in long years Of service and he
can come home secure in the real
izaton that he has earned and
Will have the plaudits and appre-
Citations of his constituency from
all portions of his district. Not
only that, but by the force of his
chara ,ter and intelligence he has
taken high rank in congress and
it is clearly proven that it is only
a matter of time and that not long,
when he will stand in the front
with the great men who have been
sent from his state to national
Legislative halls. We know we
express the universal sentiments
of this community, when we say
well done, good and faithful SER
want.
