Ex-Attorney General Wiley N.
Nash recently delivered an address at
the closing exercises Of Maben High
School, in which he gave utterance to
the following timely words:
Some act as il they were ashamed
to work where they were born and
reared. Some sell out here for a song
for scarcely enough to get away on
and leave the land of their birth,
the home of their children, the graves
o. their loved ones, and go among
aliens and strangers, and there labor
hard for living the remainder of their
days.
People of Mississippi, why not work
here? Happy homes, prosperous
farms and communities, fiourishing
schools and churches, good society,
pleasant associations, independence,
and in many instances wealth--all, all
are here for you to enjoy and transmit.
or can be gained, enjoyed and trans.
nine times out Of ten, in the places to
which you remove. If you are upright,
respectable and honorable, you have
better neighbors, truer friends and
brighter homes here than you will ever
have again. These are facts, and II
could but convince the sons and daugh.
ters of Mississippi of these truths
l would not exchange the proud salts
faction which l should enjoy for all
the high honors in their gift"
II we may judge by the interest Of
the press in the subject, there is moth
ing going on of more moment to oul
people at present than the terrible cat
tie scourge, charbon. There were yer,
few papers last week that did not con

INTERVIEW WITH sHAFFER.
He is in n Cheerful Mood-Tribute to
the Coal Miner.

of the discussion, too, has brought
out phase of the matter hitherto

tract between that nation and an
European company, giving that
company forty years of exclusive

is to be hoped that Mr. Knox will
find no insurmouutable obstacle
to a Pacific cable, which is de-
manded not only as an avenue for
government communications, but
as a facility for the development of
commercial relations between
America and her latest eastern
acquisitions

very reasonably and justly expect

PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS-

The United States delegates to
the Pan-American congress, which
is to convene in the City of Mexico
on October %, will yield great in
huence with their colleagues from
the smaller republics and do much
to shape the harmonious relations
of the nations of the new world
Americas delegates have already
conferred with President Roose-
velt and he has outlined for their
benefit the general policy they are
to follow. Before their departure
for the scene of deliberations, on
October II, he will present to
them formal signed instructions.
Among the questions to be dis
cussed by the representatives of
the nations are those of reciprocity,
arbitration, international sanitary
laws and the ablishment of an
international court of claims 1t
is understood that all these mat
ters will be urged by the United
States delegates. In the matter
of reciprocity, it is expected that a
great deal will be done toward
shaping policy that will be of
material aid to the coming United
States congress, and that our dele
gates will arouse sentiments favor
able to the closer knitting of all
American commercial relations.
No topic to be considered by the
international congress will be of
more importance than that of laws
for the prevention of epidemics
and an agreement is likely to be
reached which will bring the sani
tary experts of the western hemis-
phere into harmonious organiza-
ton Through this it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the transmits
sion of plaques and maladies from
one port to another will in time
become practically impossible,
The prospect of establishing
an international court of claims,
and one that will accomplish the
objects of such an institution
without petty delays, is said to be
excellent, while, according to re-
ports, the plan for a system of ar
bitration between the American
nations is gaining supporters in
all the countries day by day. With
such a court, formed under the au-
spices of such congress, the
costly outbreaks that are constant
ly taking place in Central and
South America might be almost, if
not entirely, eliminated and the
saving to all concerned would be
enormous.

EAGLES DID THINGS
Exit the Champions ~ OF South
ern Colorado.

For the fourth time this year
the Rockvale team has gone down
to defeat before the Florence ag-
gregation. The fans claim it is
the snappiest game the Eagles
have played this season, and the
score book shows clean record as
regards errors.
MoCluskey's whip was in good
shape and in the first three in
nings nine coal diggers jabbed
vaguely at The wind Only thirty
one men faced him in the entire
game.
Shields is one man who never
has an off day. He caught his
usual game yesterday, and Rock
vale knew better than to try to
steal second
Cannon did his customary stunt,
while Patterson gathered in every
thing in sight. Sleepy Dick came
out of a trance long enough to
sting one on the nose Gamewell
on third never had chance in the
entire afternoon Tho outhelders
were Johnnies on the spot. kuy-
kendall made nice double in the
sixth and McGonigle made a
clever throw to first in the eighth
Captain Davis was II years old
when the game began and the
fans added year each time he
came to bat
The day was rather cool, but a
large crowd was present.
The Rockvale contingent de-
serve praise for their lsdylike be-
havior during the melee
Theo. Richards only allowed the
Eagles five hits but he offset that
by nine wild pitches and four
bases on balls

are making arrangements to have
life-sized picture of their team

The Dead Beat.

There is nothing so utterly disgust
ing as the man who will cross the
street in order to avoid meeting a
man he owes. Yet in every com
munity we find people of this class.
The Coopersville Observer very prop
Ierly touches them up in this manner:
"A law ought TO be passed fixing the
status Of dead beats. A man who
hires another and fails to pay him or
purchases goods or anything of value
and never pays for il is guilty of
fraud. The law treats as a thief the
man who secures money or goods by
false pretense or takes them by
stealth. The dead beat ought to be
treated the same way for he in fact
belongs to the same class. BY the un-
written law of trade and commerce
he makes false statements with fraud
ulent intent whenever he obtains a
credit that is never cancelled. He is
undoubtedly just as guilty as any man
who by the same practice lays HIM
self liable to the law. Any man who
is unfortunate and really unable to
keep his contract can get all the time
he needs by acting in perfectly fair
and honorable manner. There is no
more necessity for him to become a
dead beat than there is for him to do
stealing. A dead beat is simply a
thief, and should be so treated by
law
