UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
That il What Judge Campbell says al
the Law Under Which Certain Con-
,iots Have Been Discharged.

,iots Have Been Discharged.
Jackson Correspondence y. o. Picayune.l
Those person discharged from the
penitentiary on the recommendation
of the board of control, without being
pardoned by the governor in accord
ance with the provision of the consti-
tuition, would do we'll to inquire into
their status. Hon. J. \. p. Campbell,
than whom the State has never had an
ADLER iurist, holds that the section of
the code under which they were dis
charged is unconstitutional, and hence
that they are not legally at large.
In the State Library this morning,
in conversation with the Picayune cor
respondent discussing this matter,
Judge Campbell said:
THE legislature may provide for
the communication of the sentence OF
cOnvicts for good behavior.
THAT MEANS said Judge Campbell,
that rules may be prescribed by which
convicts may, by good behavior, earn
communication, l. e.. the substitution of
less punishment change from one 60
another less severe, or mitigation of
some sort. 1t implicitly forbids any
other sort of communication. EXpresslo
unus est exclusion alterius.
ut contemplates fixed rules applica-
BILE to all convicts "a system of govern
ment under which every one shall have
the stimulus of hope of gain, by good
! behavior 1t does not authorize an ar
bitrary, capricious or partial exercise
of the power of communication whereby
favorite may receive Communication.
1T does not confer power to pardon.
That can be exercised by the Governor
alone, and by him only after the publ
cation required by the constitution.
"Probably it is competent for the
legislature to delegate to a board the
right to adopt rules for the commuta-
ton of the sentences of cOnvicts for
good behavior, and applicable to all
alike: and this power cannot properly
! be held in reserve to be exercised fit
fully and spasmodically in isolated
cases as favoritism or even judgment
may impel. That is not what the con-
stitution means 1t had in view sys-
tenn prescribed by fixed rules for the
government of the penitentiary, under
| which all would have an equal chance
to obtain communication of sentence by
good behavior. Ii was never intended
! to arm the legislature with power by
legislation, directly or indirectly, to
free from just punishment such as
could command influence and secure
| favor. 1t did not contemplate favor
! ties, pets, who should be the recipients
of communication, and much less of dis
charge from the penitentiary. That is
wholly unauthorized by the constitu
ton, which has conferred the power to
pardon on the Governor, and even re-
stricted that.
section BIO of the Code is i'll con
travention of the constitution, and that
part which authorizes discharge of the
convict is palpably, tlagrantly viola
tive of the constitution. The require
ment of consent of the Governor does
not save it. He might pardon after

CHRISTIAN LIFE--A SERMON IN
RHYME,

II you have friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him. ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er he said
OF friend ill he is dead?
II you hear song that thrills you,
sung by any child of song.
Praise it. DO not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the JOY you may impart?
II you hear prayer that moves you
By its humble. pleading tone,
Join 1t. DO not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of 1.-TWO or three" in prayer?
II you see the white tears falling
From Borrowing brothers eyes,
Share them. And by sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When brothers heart is sad?
If silyery laugh is ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share it. It's the wise mans saving
For both grief and Joy have a place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
your work is made more easy
BY friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should brother workman dear
Falter for word Of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enrichng as you go;
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giyer,
He will make each seed to grow.
So, until its happy end,
Your life shall never lack a friend.

WILLIAM !. IS 4 CANDIDATE.
EX Senator William V. Sullivan
during an interview with represen-
tative of the Memphis Commercial
Appeal ON June LIST, announced his
candidacy to succeed Senator Money
as follows:
The next senatorial race in Missis-
sippi will be between Senator Money,
G jvernor Longino and myself. | do
not care so much for the political of
flee, bat there is a clique in Misois-
sippi which has been trying to down
me and | will show them that they
cannot do it.
We don't know of any particular
"cllque in Mississippi which is trying
to down the ex-senator, unless it is
the respectable and moral element of
the State, but be that as it may, when
ever the mountaineering ex-senator
flies his senatorial kite over this coun-
ty, we will wager, that at the proper
time, Copiah will crap" that kites
tail off few limits" anyway.

The natural instincts of man cannot

tect itself by laws and regulations

The Times Democrat of last Thurs
day contained an article on The Gam

commentator. 1t bespeaks much for
the future morals Of the country when
"a paper like the one alluded to, so
boldly and clearly expresses the senti-
ment of the "moralist, the philosopher

labor.
The chairman suggested that the
speakers be brief in their remarks.
Hon. \. II. George, of Carroll, OPP
posed the working of convicts on the
public roads, saying that it would be
infeasible to scatter them about as the
system would make it necessary. He
said that Mississippi had the best con-
vict system of any state in the Union,
and that so far as the competition with
free labor complained Of, the few bales
of cotton raised by the State will not
effect the price of cotton the slightest
fraction. that Mississippi has solv-
ed many knotty problems and will find
the present one easy of solution.
Maj. McInnis withdrew his amend
ment, as did also Maj. Dabney.
After some difficulty Mr.. Boswell. of
Winston, obtained the floor and said
that the county convicts should be
worked on the public roads instead of
being leased, and that the legislature
should allow the boards of supervisors
to make larger levies for road pur-
poses.
The original resolutions were then
adopted.
Attorney General McClurg read the
report of the committee on permanent
organization recommending the plan
for the organization of the Mississippi
Good Roads Association, which shall
have its domicile at the State house
and have as it's members ex ofiicio the
members of the boards of supervisors
and all members OF the present con,
vention. The duties of the various of
ficers and the executive committee
were fully mapped out. The resolu-
tions we're adopted unanimously, and
Mr. McClurg then submitted the rec
ommendation of officers as follows:
President, John \. Redhead: vice-pres-
ident, W. B. Walker, l. G.. Holloway.
VIM. Curphy, y. b. Crawford, /. y.
Sample, J. f. Byrd and Frank Il.
Catchings; secretary, W. g. Cole;
treasurer, J. J. Conan. They were
elected by acclamatlon
Mr.. McClurg reported resolution
providing that the executive commit
tee Of the association be appointed as
permanent committee on legislation,
whose duty it shall be to take such &C
ton as may be deemed necessary to
secure the enactment of laws necessary
to carry out the purposes of the asso-
citation.
Mai. Fardaman secured the adoption
of a resolution urging the organization
of county associations throughout the
State.
The chairman appointed Maj. Dab
ney, G. NJ. Williamson, w. W. Stone
and +. W. Elmer as members of the
executive committee from the State at
large.
In order to secure the sense of the
convention, Maj Vardaman offered a
resolution declaring that the convicts
should be worked on the public roads.
1t was promptly voted down.
Mr.. Hart, Of Wilkinson, offered "A res
olution pledging all delegates to use
every effort possible to promote the
interest of good roads. Adopted.
y rising vote of thanks was rendered
to the officers of the National Good

Henry w. Diederich, United States
consul at Bremen, makes the following
report;
The new meat inspection law, which
was passed about a year ago by the
German government, which absolutely
prohibits the importation Of American
corned beef, sausages, ETC., has had a
years trial, but has made no friends.
In recent convention Of physicians
DR.. Karl Frankel, professor of hygiene
In tho University Of Halle, an authori-
ty on all questions bearing on public
health, gave utterance to very severe
criticisms OF the new law, He even
went 80 far as to say that the law was
nothing more than cloak faded and
worn, hung over the agrarlan idol. He
asserted that he spoke in the interests
of national hygiene, and showed that
while the government had declared that
the passage of the Law was required In
the interest OF public health, nothing
suffered more from the passage Of said
law than did the public health Of the
nation, for the prevailing high prices of
meat necessarily lessened Its cousump-
ton, while the health of the nation de-
manded an Increase.
That the price of meat has risen ma
terlally in Germany since the passage
of the law is known to everybody who
uses meat have before me report
of one of the largest factories of tex
tiles in silesia. This actory employs
from 1900 to 1000 men. Like many
other Industrial establishments II has
q store of Its own, where the working
men may get all their groceries and
other food supplies at almost cost price.
Formerly the leading kind Of meat sup
piled to the people was American
corned beef, and every family figured
on using about pound Of 1t day, the
cost being IA cents per pound. Now
there Is no more American corned beef
to be had, and fresh meat of home pro-
duction has taken Its place. The man
ager or the factory mas investigated tne
increase Of expense to the people for
meat since the passoge Of the new
law, and he has come to the conclusion
that every consumer at his factory
must pay 20 per cent more than he
formerly did, as every buyer Of fresh
meat must take certain proportion
of meat and fat and bone, thereby much
lessening the amount Of solid meat. Ac-
cording to his estimate, cents has
been added to each pound of meat sold
at the factory. To men with scant earn
ings, an increase Of over 21 cents in
their weekly household expenses for
meat alone is no small item.
To utilize all kinds Of plant food
at ones disposal is an important item
in farm economy.

Shipping Poultry.

There are a few general points In
regard to shipping live poultry that
are applicable to all markets: Ship
pers should see that the coops are in
good condition before using, so that
they are not liable to come apart in
transit, as they are roughly handled
sometimes. The coops should also be
high enough to stand up In. Low
coops should not be used, as It is not
only cruel, but a great deal of poultry
ts lost every year by suffocation. Coops
should not be overerowded. In ship
ping hens and roosters they should be
Kept separate, Nothing depreclates the
value Of fine crop Of hens as much
as to have q number Of old cocks
among them. Shippers often wonder
why they do not get the highest mar
ket price for their stock; in most cases
this is the reason. Good stock always
commands a quick sale at best prices.
Poultry should be shipped SO as to
arrive on the market from Tuesday to
Friday. Receipts generally increase
toward the end Of the week, and there
is enough carried-over stock on hand
Saturday to supply the demand. Mer-
chants, rather than carry stock over
Sunday, will sell at a sacrifice, as the
stock, when In coops, loses considera-
BILE in weight and shrinkage, and does
not appear fresh and bright. Besides,
Monday is usually a poor day to sell
poultry,-Farm Journal.

Inaccurate Test Bottles.

The test and It's alleged inaccuracy
or unfairness is the basis Of nine
tenths Of the friction that arises be-
tween the operator and the patrons,
and yet, 80 far as known, there has been
no widespread attempt on the part OF
creamery operators to make the pat
rons understand that they were getting
a fair deal in the testing Of their milk,
Instead of using the certified test bot
ties and pipettes sent out from the
dairy commissioners Office In the man
ner specified by the law, the most Of
the operators have kept them laid away
with care, as q sort Of mysterious
something too little understood to be
used or to see the light Of day, ex-
cept to overawe some unsatisaed pat
ron. II is believed that but small
number Of the creameries Of the state
could go into any court and establish
"The use of reliable tests and the re-
suits therefrom" as they may be re-
quired to do in any action arising be-
tween patrons and the creamery man
agement. 1t does not follow that n
great number are using inaccurate
tests, but It Is true that few have COM
piled with the law to such an extent
that they could prove the accuracy of
the apparatus and the results from the
use of 1t.
The greatest humbug in the testing
matter Is the guaranteed" bottles sold
on the market. Numerous creamerles
have refused to comply with tho plain
provisions of the law for the reason
that they buy only guaranteed" bot
ties. Well, everybody buys guaranteed
bottles, for none other are on the mar
ket; but the guarante is of mighty lit
tie comfort to the farmer whose milk
Is tested in a bottle that is Inaccurate.
The makers of test bottles only guar
antee approximate accuracy at the
best, and they will replace all bottles
not accurately calibrated; but II the
creamery operator doeh not investigate
for himself he will never know the
good bottles from the bad ones, and
his patrons are the losers. This Of
fee has never yet succeeded in getting
a lot of bottles that were all perfectly
calibrated. From to 15 per cent Of
the bottles bought by this Office are
found to be more or less inaccurate,
some Of them extremely so.-Iowa
