FACTS ABOUT MISSISSIPPI

The following facts and figures used
by Governor Longino are being widely
and discussed in the State:
"Appreciating the fact that the sue
cess of a republic depends upon, and
is measured largely by, the enlighten-
ment aud Intelligence of its citizens,
Mississippi now maintains in whole
or in part by donations from her
treasury State University, am Agri-
cultural College for white aud another
for the negroes, an Industrial College
for white girls, State Normal for ne
groes, and ample free schools for all
without reference to color, thus Civ.
ing collegiate, industrial and common
school education free to hundreds OF
her boys and girls yearly.
II am proud to say that l speak here
today for state whose bonded paya-
BILE indebtedness does not exceed, in
round numbers, 81 ,000, 900, and though
its last legislature made liberal ap-
preparations, exceeding those of for.
mer years, giving to her colleges
s272.534, hospitals and other charitable
institutions $3.50, 9lS, disabled and poor
Confederate veterans s150,0O0, public
free schools 81 100000, other worthy OBJ
jects $780,, 976, making the handsome
yearly total of s2,llO,4S8, exclusive OF
the 100000 appropriated for new
state house.
II am glad, however, to say that the
assessment rolls for 1900 show an in
crease in property valuation over last
assessment of nearly s2S,000,000, and
yet, with the increased appropriations
aforesaid and reduction of a tax
levy for the year, the State has ample
means with which to meet all expend-
itures, and it is confidently believed
that 1t will receive from the ordinary
sources Of revenue ample funds, not
uaaiy for asfrsyirg current e1peases VI

The contract for the building of the

The contract for the building of the
new state house was let to Messrs. w.
A. & A. E. Wells, of Chicago. Their
bid was sS3l.743. The time for COM
pletion is twenty eight months, rain or
shine. This will not only have the
new capitol ready for the legislature
OF 1905, but give the incumbent State
officials eight months occupancy of it.
The next lowest bidder was George
Dugan, of Kansas City, whose bid was
sS33,S51; time for completion thirty
months, rain or shine.

Friends were shocked in Brookha-
ven on Monday morning to learn
that Mrs. Samuel H. Chandler had
attempted her life, by cutting her
throat at her home about five miles
south of Brookhaven. Mrs Chandler
has been in bad state of health for
some time and was, doubtless, suffering
from alteration of mind. She was at
tended by Drs Bennett and Barber, who
sewed up the wound, and we are glad
to learn that her chances of recovery
are good.

Is more common than we may think, Y
we define glattony az eating beyond the
body's need OF ~sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is a fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many a person who would resent
the term as an insult. The fact of this
glattony is marked by its consequences.
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi-
ton is "weak " stomach. The uweak -
stomach fails in furnishing adequate M
triton for the body, and soon the uweak-
ness" spreads from the stomach to other
organs.
