Just think of MT Camp sending us word to do anything so rash as that; in other words our landlords gave us to understand We must get out or else they'd kick us out of the store which we have occupied for thirteen years, and they never had to wait thirteen minutes for the rent. We were willing To stay thirteen years longer and were also willing to pay as much rent as The people who have hired our store right over our heads but for some un- known reason we we're not consulted We'll. We were just as smart as MT Camp, inasmuch as we had better store hired thirteen minutes after We were noticed to 'sget out.'

Mystery,

Wesson, July 27.-Elijah, alias Clar-
ence Mullins, the suspect who was ar
rested and placed in Jail Tuesday,
charged with the murder of Joe Pan
nell, Jr., and Ethel Pierce, was dis
charged today, there being no evidence
against him other than some of his
wild assertions and suspicious conduct.
The verdict of the coroner's jury is as
follows:
"We, the cOroner's jury summoned
in the case of Joe Pannell, Jr., and
Ethel Pierce, from the evidence have
decided that the above parties came
to their death by some northbound
train ON the Illinois Central Railroad
during the night of July 20, 1901
(Signed): l.. w. Bowie, F. U. Simpson,
P. B. Raiford, ]. W. Kelly, r. c. Ray
and w. F. Renfrow."
Conductor McLaurin of passenger
train No. 26, which passed up Satur.
day night, testified that he put two
boys off his train at Martinsville, six
miles north of here, who answered to
the description of those who were
killed, but how they reached the place
where their bodies were found, three
miles below, and the manner of their
death will probably never be disclosed.
The case was tried before Justice
B Bridewell, acting coroner.

keeper and said: "You can fix this

The surplus in the United States treas.

hers by about s1OO,OOO,0O0 year. We
have taken off S40,OOO,OO0 of taxes with

$50 O00,O 900 less this year than last, and
we may expect another surplus of s7O,-

Some people think debt good thing

X. OF II. FINANCES,

An increased assessment on the
members of the knights of Pythias
to become effective Sept. 1st, has been
rendered necessary by some bad in
vestments recently made by Supreme
Secretary Henley, in which the order
sustained loss of about 100000.
Because of this shortage the endow-
ment rank has been placed in a very
embarrassing position, as there are
mortuary claims for nearly 100000
outstanding, with no money in the
treasury with which to meet the obli-
cations. At the recent meeting of the
supreme lodge to hear the report of
the judiciary and endowment commit
tees, it was decided to raise the assess.
ments, and Gen. w. d. Cameron is now
visiting the various lodges of Missis.

has to be met. The dues will be in.

the assessments will be put back on

Efforts" says the Okolona Messen-
ger, "to develop deep water at Gulf
port, on the South line of Mississippi,
is certainly a move in the right direc-
tion, and should receive the most
hearty CO operation of every resident
of the State. With deep water on
our own shore, Mississippi would
stand in an advantageous position it
has never before been able to enjoy,
the outlet would prove beneficial not
only to our State, but to others, and
dreams of a greater South would be
just this much nearer realization.
The promoters and enterprising work
ers for this new improvement are GER
tainly entitled to all the encouragement
possible"

The big losses of live stock caused
by the charbon epidemic in the State
has revealed the fact that there is not
single live stock insurance company
licensed to do business in Mississippi.
Several inquiries have been received
by the insurance commissioner from
persons in the infected and threatened
districts wanting to know the names
and addresses of such companies, but
the commissioner has had to reply
that there are none in the State. The
taking of risks on ordinary domestic
animals such as have recently perish
ed of the charbon has never been
found lucrative business nor one
much sought after in this part of the
country, but many owners might take
out insurance on their more valuable
animals if the opportunity were Of
fered. The privilege license on live
stock companies in this State is 500.

GOOD PUBLIC ROADS

The present condition of the public
roads of Lincoln county, which have
been under contract for the past four
years, and the prospect of keeping
both the first and second class roads
up to high standard of excellence for
the next four years, by reason of the
advantageous contracts made by the
Board of Supervisors at its last ses-
sion, is matter in which every citizen
OF Lincoln county may feel just
pride. Lincoln is pioneer county in
the good roads movement, and the
vast improvement in her public high
ways already achieved under the con-
tract system, amply vindicates the
wisdom of her Board of Supervisors
in their departure from the old and
inefficient system of the past. The
fact that there was very general op-
position at first, to letting out even the
first-class roads by contract; while
lately there has been an almost uni
versal sentiment in favor of all the
public roads being so worked, furnishes
probably the strongest proof that the
Board acted with wisdom and fore
sight in making the change.
Another, is the fact that Lincoln
enjoys the reputation at home and
abroad of having the best public roads
Of any county in South Mississippi.
At its last session the Board made
most satisfactory and fortunate dispo-
sition of the road question for the
county. Under this arrangement all
of the public roads of the county lying
east of the Illinois Central Railroad
were let to one contractor, and all on
the west side to another firm. The
only pay the contractors are to receive
is the one mill levy for road purposes
and the communication money collected
from hands liable to road duty. The
office of road commissioner, was created,
whose duty it is to see that the roads
are worked according to plans and
specifications, list ro ad hands and col
lect the commutation, and the COM
missioner's salary of 5000 per annum
is to be paid out of the road fund,
created as above.
Mr.. F. B. Smith, who was awarded
the contract for the roads on the east
side of the railroad. and Messrs. AL
bert Evans and Isom Williamson, who
jointly have the contract for the roads
on the west side, have the advantage
of four years experience in the road
contract business, are quite we'll equip
ped already to do the work, and are
capable and thoroughly responsible
men; while Mr.. C. T. Montgomery, who
has been elected road commissioner,
is undoubtedly one of the best men
who could have been found for this
position. Besides being honest, con.
scientious and capable, he is an orig
inal good roads man and will take a
pride in the work he is to supervise.
He was a member of the old Board of
Supervisors when the contract system
was first introduced in Lincoln four
years ago, and it was largely due to
his influence and vote as member of
the Board that the progressive but
then unpopular step was taken. 1t
was no doubt knowledge of these i'm
portant considerations that influenced
the present Board to select him for the
place.
