candidate for Governor knows who the

for making the statement is unQues'

that was charity. He very seriously

DAISY ITEMS.
BY SU RSCRIB Err.

Everybody behind planting crops.
The people Of this section have suf-
fered severely with la grippe this sea-
son.
The boys have just returned from
Mississippi City a1d Scranton, kaving
been summoned there to answer in
the contest cases Of the Mississippi
University VS.. H0mcsteaderS. This
seems strange in a government like
ours. We can't understand why the
State OF Mississippi should think it
right To give to the University Of the
State $4,000 acres OF public domain
lying in the corners of Jackson and
Harrison counties and thereby pre-
vent h~omestcaders from occupying
this land. 1t seems to US that the
State could, with equal justice, re-
quire this portion Of these two cOun-
ties to pay a third more taxes than
other parts of the State. Why did
the University people select this body
OF land in preference to any other
public land? Simply because it is
generally known that it is the best
body OF pine timbered land in the
State, and this is the greater
reason why private individuals
should have it for homeSteadS,
and according to our idea Of the teach
ings OF this government homestead
settlers should have every inducement
to settle and improve homesteads and
build up happy and self.suStaining
homes. We do not oppose the Uni

RANDALL VS.. RANDALL.
The Celebrated Case Ended at Last and in
A Proper Manner.

During the year 1895 Mrs. Z. j..
Randall applied, under habeas corpus
proceedings, through the Chancery
court for the custody of her daughter
Mabel. Her petition was contested
by j. II. Randall and the court refus-
cd TO transfer the custody Of said
child from the father TO the mother.
In 1898, Mrs. f. j. Randall, by be-
tition for writ Of habeas corpus,
again sought the custody OF said child
aud the Chancellor, afSer hearing tes-
timony and argument Of counsel. de-
creed that neither Of said parents
should have custody OF Mabel, but
that she should be placed in a board
ing school at ~Poplarville, Miss, and
the expense thereof be borne by both
her parents in the proportion set forth
in Said decree.
j. II. Randall neglected to place Ma
bel in said school and iE the early part
OF 1899 filed a bill for divorce against
his wife, Mrs. f. J. Randall, charging
desertion as the grounds for such d.
vorce. Defendant tilei an answer to
said bill and the case went over to the
August term, 1899 for trial. In the
meantime, Mrs. Randall filed a sug.
gestion OF contempt against her said
husband for refusal to comply with
the terms Of the decree Of said chan
Gerry court, touching the disposition
Of said child, and again prayed the
custody of her little daughter, and
this matter was set for hearing at the
term of court just ended.
AT the trial defendant withdrew
her answer to the bill for divorce and
also the petition and suggestions of
contempt. Whereupon the divorce
matter was brought on for trial and
same was granted. The custody of
the child was brought up on said trial
and after hearing testimony offered
by both parties and argument Of coun-
sci the custody OF said child was
awarded to Mrs. E. j. Randall, OF
Mobile, as the most suitable and prop.
er person therefor.
On the first trial Mrs. Randall was
represented by MeSSrs, White & New
-,
lille, and Mr.. Randall by Mcssrs. Ford
& Ford. On the second trial Mrs.
Randall was represented by Denny &
Woods and Mr.. Randall by G. II.
Wood, and on the third and last trial
Mrs. Randall was represented by
Denny & Woods and Mr.. Randall by
f. J. Bowers.
Judge Hill, before rendering his de-
cisiOn in this celebrated case, review.
ed the testimony on both sides from a
legal and humane standpoint, and very
Justly and correctly decided that the
ten year old girl Mabel should be given
to her mother as she was the proper
person to ear and care for her in every
respect. The testimony was conclu-
sive in that respect. Mrs. Randall
left Wednesday night for Mobile with
her little girl.

CANDIDATE. Every honest man who
runs for Office is q candidate for trou.
bic, for fruits OF political victory
turn to ashes On their lips. TO me
there is nothing in this world so pl.
thetic as "a candidate. He is like a
mariner without a compass, drifting
on tempest.tOSsed waves of uncertain.
ty between the smiling cliffs of hone
and the frowning crags of fear. He is
a walking petition and living pray.
er, he is the hackhorse of public sen.
tlment, he is the dromedary OF poll.
tics, And If he reaches the goal of his
ambition he will soon feel the beak of
the vulture in his heart and the fang
OF tho ssrpcut in his soul.
