ONLY A JUDGE.

The reappointment of viii X
McLaurin as Judge of his district
has developed quite II strong OPP
position. Last week Il committee
composed of members Of the bar
headed by w. l.. Magruder Of that
district, called on Governor Lon
gino and asked him for the APP
pointment of another instead of Nc
Laurin as Judge, at the same time,
preferring charges against him.
Now if we take as the truth, the
reported statement made by Mr..
Henry during last summers cam
paign that If Judge Longino was
elected Governor. McLaurin would
be reappointed Judge, these gen.
tlemen IN their fight against him
are not only wastingtheir time, but
their money. But again, If we are
to take words of Governor Lon
|gino as true, "that he never made
o promise or pledge to secure his
nomination. y Judge McLaurln
will be weighed in the same
balances as the other applicants
and'should his character, ability be
such as not to justify his holding
the high Off ce of judgeship, even
if his brother did appoint h'n, we
do not believe Governor Lon mo
will.
The argument of the Vicks-
burg Dispatch that those who
made the charges were not in &C
cord with the dominant party is
poor argument, for if the charges
are true, it makes no difference to
what party he belongs or those
making the charges, but any man
with such an arraignment against
him should not be appointed to
a Mississippi Judgeship.

GREENvILLE ELECTRIC CARS
THEY WILL BE IN OPERATION
IN NINETY DAYS.
Our Citizens Are Highly Elated Over
Their Coming.

Our Citizens Are Highly Elated Ovel
Their Coming.
The whizz of the electric cal
will soon be heard on the promi-
nent streets of our city. There
is no ''if" now standing in the way
of their coming. Last Tuesday
the City Council at a meeting, ex-
tended the lighting contract of the
city to ten years, with the Citizens
Light and Car Company, repre-
sented here by Mr.. j. A. Gaboury.
One of the conditions of the con-
tract was that by October next,
the company should have in oper-
alton an electric car line. This
line at the start will run from the
Southern depot up Walnut Street
to Washington Avenue, thence
down Washington Avenue by the
court house to the Southern Rail
road crossing. Not over Is min
utes will be required to make the
trip in one direction, and a 5 cent
fare is all that can he charged.
1t is the Company's intention to
extend. the line to the other streets
in the city as soon as practicable.
The cars and material for the con-
structlon OF the road has already
been ordered, and if the weather
permits and no serious Interior
ence comes up, Mr.. Gaboury ex-
poets to have the cars running in
ninety days.
The Council is to be congrat-
ulated blythe citiznes of the city for
this progressive movement, also
on the contract made with the
above company, for by its terms
it compels the Light & Car Com
pany to render prompt and faith
full service in both the light and
car contracts, at the same time
getting them at a cost below most
cities in the country.
While we are a strong believer
in municipal ownership of such
plants, still at this time, under ex-
listing circumstances, the Board
has no doubt, done the best for the
city's interest, and if any one was
to have this contract, the Times
would sooner see Mr.. Gaboury
secure it, as he is interested
the city's welfare more than any
out side party.
The building of this service will
tend to draw other industries to
the city, and we make this pro-
phecy, that the Moses who alights
from the train or boat ten years
hence, the expiration of this con-
.ract, will behold a city of fac
cries, magnificent buildings, beau
iful streets, complete car service
md a people whose appearance
shows they live on the fat of the
and.

Around and About the City.

With cheapness of asphalt anc
it's long lite the City Counci
should adopt it as sidewalk mater
lal and stop granting the putting
down of plank sidewalks, which
In a few years, become loose by
the nails drawing out, making il
dangerous topedestrians and the
city liable to suits. Another and
stronger arguments against it is
its rottening propenslties which
produces bad health to any city.
The sewer bitches near the
Greenville Cotton OIL Mill and
Ginning Co., is a sight to behold.
The bitches have to be dug %
feet, and before they get half
way they strike water and the
sides commence caving. To avoid
this, both sides have to be braced
and planked in, and from the ap-
pearance they now present, one
would judge that excavations are
being made to find one of the pre-
historic cities of the mound build

Senator Bradley's bill to build
and operate cotton factory by
the convicts OF the State is all
right. Instead of receiving 5 cts.
per pound for the state cotton the
factory will raise it to Is and 80
cents in manufactured form.
Should the bill pass we would like
to suggest to the Board of Con-

convict farms, accessible by water

Kearsley, Darwin Rogers, Harry
B. Marshall, Amy and Dora Paige,
Rose Bernard, Marie Harcourt,
Alice Lovolace, Edna Mcbeth and

WAS NOT ASKED AGAIN.
One Occasion when the Piety of a
Michigan Politician Was Not
Conspicuous.

M. Z. Chttenden, the Michigan politician
who died recently, dearly loved Joke His
own initials, IN. +. G" he always insisted,
stood for Methodist Episcopal church, which
organization, could it have secured him,
would have acquired very lively member.
Mart" as Mr.. ChitIenden was famiiarly
called, relates the Chicago Chronicle, par
TALLY lost his hearing some years ago and
communication with him thereafter was one
of the fine arts. Being the agent of
the Standard Oil company for large terri
tory, he travelled considerably, and on a Ger
tain occasion fell in with a couple of friends
al HilsdaIe who invited him TO 20 with them
to dinner at the house OF resident ac-
quaintance. One of them quietly said to the
host: "Mr. Chttenden is an exceedingly
pious man and likes to have the food blessed
before partaking. You must invite him to
ask the blessing.
Accordingly when all were seated, silence
fell upon the company, while the host turned
to Mr.. Chittenden with "Will you ask the
blessing"
Up went Chittenden s hand to his ear, with
his usual, quick, nervous gesture, as in a
listening attitude he responded in tone
more decided than unctuous:
I've grown so ALFRED deaf lately that if
you've got anything to say to me you'll have
to say it devish loud"
roar from the two friends disclosed to
Ch.ttenden and the astonished host that
they had been the victims of practical joke
But Chit" enjoyed it amazingly when he un-
derstood what had happened.

Two brothers named Utter, of
Amitz, n. Y, have got into snarl be-
cause bees belong
ing to one had
ruined peaches be-
longing to the other while searching
for honey. The beekeeper, reports a
local exchange, claimed that it could
not be proved that his bees were the
offenders, but his brother has in
geniously overcome this difficulty.
The bees were first caught extracting
juice from the peaches and were
caught in a wire gauZe trap. Then
he let them through a trap door into
a place supplied with a dish of honey.
When the insects had eaten as much
as they wanted they began to look
for an exit. and in doing so crawled
over a liberal sprinkling of flour,
which stuck to them. When thor
oughly coated they were released and
all flew straight for Brother Utter's
hives, thus establishing a complete
chain of evidence. The beekeeper,
however, declines to give in and will
fight the damage suit.
