POSTMASTERS CERTIFICATE
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI,
Greene County.

Greene County. !
l, the undersigned postmaster al
Leakesville, Greene County, Missis-
sippi, do hereby certify that the issue
of the Graphic" a newspaper pub.
sished at Leakesville, containing no.
tice of sheriffs tax land sale and dated
February 9th, 1900, was not placed in
Leakesville postoffics for distribution
until O'Clock a. m, February 10th A.
d. 1900, this being the second issue
OF the Graphic" placed in said
Leaksville postoffcs since 1 took
charge of same on the 4th day of
January A. d. 1900.
MARY K. MILLS, Postmaster
by reading the above certificate of
the postmaster at Leakesville, it can
be readily seen that the first issue of
the Graphic containing notice for
sheriH 3 tax land sale on the first
Monday in March, it being the 5th,
day of said month, and in the year
1900, was not placed in the postoffce
until February 10th, 1900, one week
after date it bore.
Now it is a well learned fact that a
newspaper is not published until it is
given out to the public, hence after
our postmaster has certified that the
issue of the graphic dated February
9th, 1900, containing sheriff notice
tax land sale, was not placed in her
postoff1ce and thereby made public
until February 10th, 1900, then there
can certainly be no doubt about the |
first publication of said tax land sale |
not being made until February 10th.
1900, just seventeen days before date
set for said sale.
Taking it for granted that our sheriff
will admit this we desire to open the
eyes of both him and the taxpayers
OF our county, to the fact that no legal
publication of the sale of these lands |
Will have been made when day set for
same arrived, because the law requires
three (3) weeks notice to be given. |
From February 10th to March 5th is
but seventeen days, being four days
less than required by law.
10 what cause can such state Of
affairs be attributed? Did you say
gross carelessness and personal favor
itism? Such a glaring oversight as
this en- the part of our Sheriff is sure
to bring down storm of just and Sc
we're censure upon his head, and
great howl of indignation will go up.
OF course the lands cant sell Any
titles made to them would be null and
void, and the Sheriff would be liable
on his bond to all parties concerned
for any amount of damages that would
accrue from such an illegal sale.
To show just how good the inten-
ton of our Sheriff was to make a cor
rect legal publication of said sale, we
might say that the newspaper in
which he placed it has not averaged
one issue per month for the last three
past.

the benefit of the Galveston sufferers has

The afternoon papers should be espec-

to prolong "pipe dream" which they
have been indulging in to the effect that
they have chance to win. Oh what a
sudden awakening there will be on Fri

there was never such thing az base ball

Big preparations are being made on

Washington, Sept. 24.-The navy de-

which the govesnment has decided to
send to the Asiatac station to REINFORCE

tached TO the scnth Atlantic station, has
sailed from Palmyra for Monteyideo,
where she will coal and proceed immedi-
ateiy to China By way of the Mediterra-
mean. The cruiser Albany, now at Pi-
raeus, Greece. has been ordered to pro-
coed to Manila.
The other ships selected for service in
Asiatic waters-the battieship Kentucky,
the gllnbDats Annapolis and Vicksburg
and the converted yacht Dorothea-are IN
American waters. They will be put in
first class trim for foreign service. All
will so into drydock at once. The Ken
tucky will go into dock at New York, the
Eicksburg has been ordered to the Bos-
ton dock and the Dorothea will go into
dock AT League Island and the Annapolis
at Norfolk. They will be thoroughly
ovcrhaulcd.
The ships are in excellent repair and
the overhauling will not require much
time except IN The case OF the Annapolis
which has been used as training ship
ana which must now be fitted out for
active service. But even il. her case the
navy department estimates that not over
month will be required. Ii is expected
that all the vessels will have arrived at
their destination by Dec. 1.
A Large Fleet.
With the addition of these six ships The
United States fleet in Asiatic waters will
consist of "a vessels, by far the largest
American fleet ever employed on strictly
foreign service. Although many of the
ships are small, there will be nucleus of
heavy fighting ships which will make a
formidable showing in the event that fu-
ture complications should necessitate an
American demonstration in Asiatic wa
ters. In case actual hostilities should be
necessary the Pacific squadron, which

would be trouble at washery operated
by the Lehigh and Wilkcsbarre company

last week did not report. There was

"There is no change in the Wyoming

Intcrnent of the Spanish Marshal to
Take Place at Zarauz.
Madrid, Sept. 24.-The late Marshal
Martinez Campos in his will expressed a
desire that he should be buried where he
died. His body will, therefore, be in
tered at Zarauz. The queen regent has
sent a letter of sympathy to the widow.
Marshal Arsenic Martinez Campos, one
of Spain's greatest soldier statesmen, had
been ill for a long time with diabetes, and
since Friday his case had been consid-
cred hopeless. Campos was born in 1884.
The son of a brigadier general, he re-
eeived military education and left the
staff school at the age of "a with the
rank of lieutenant. He won the cross of
Charles III at the blockade of Saragossa,
the Cross of San Fernando in the cam
paign in Morocco and rose to the rank Of
major. From 1864 he was for six years
a colonel in Cuba and for his services
there was made a brigadier general.
Campos, declining to support the repub-
lie after the abdication of King Amadio,
was placed on the retired list in 1873 and
later imprisoned as conspirator. Liber-
alton came az the result of a letter he
wrote to General Zabaia, minister of
war, in which Campos begged to be al

Concha against the Carlists. He was re-
leased from prison and put in command
of division in April, 1874. In 1877
Campos was appointed commander in
chief of the army in Cuba. He brought
the Ten Years War to a close the fol-
lowing year, with promises of liberal
treatment for the Cubans.
He returned to Spain to accept the
portfolio of war and presidency of the
council, but resigned on finding that he
could not obtain fulhllment of his prom
ises to the Cubans Campos was again
in power FROM 1891 to 1883. In 1888 he
again went 10 cuba to meet the new in

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 24.-The strike
situation in the Lackawanna region is
