EDITORS THROW STONES,

The following are some very timely
retorts OF Mississippi editors:
Vicksburg is being treated very
shabbily by the June bride, and the
men who tie the knots which do up the
punches OF connubial bliss miss the
fees. How can a minister take a sum-
mer vacation unless some of the MEM
bers Of his congregation get married?
-Vicksburg American.
That isn't why the Vicksburg minis
ter doesn't take a summer vacation.
The devil has such a hold on that town
that the ministers can't leave it for a
day, much less a summer vacation OF
six weeks. -Greenvi,le Times.
How can Greenville have the temeri-
ty to throw stones at Vicksburg's God.
illness? In Greenville they change
pastors every three months for the rea-
son that the best Of them cannot stay
there longer and retain their religion,

PRESS EXCURSION POSTPONED.
Mississippi Editors will not go to
Buffalo on Annual Excursion.

Special to the Clarion-Ledger.1
Yazoo City, June 22-Mr. J.. G.. Nc
CURE, secretary of the Mississippi
Press Association, has received a letter
from Col. j. L. Power in which that
gentleman states that he thinks it
would be advisable to dismiss the idea
of having An excursion to the Pan
American Exposition. This action is
taken because of the fact that the rail-
roads which run from Chicago to
Buffalo nave entered an agreement not
to issue any transportation TO State
associations. 1t is also understood
that the Illinois Central road has
turned down over half of the parties
who made application to 60 on the
trip because OF the fact that they were
not legitimate newspaper people.
The correspondent of the Clarion
Ledger called on Mr.. Mcclure this
statement: ION account Of failure to
make proper railroad arrangements
the Mississippi Press Excursion to
Buffalo and the Pan-Americau Ex-
position has been indefinitely post
poned."
This is just as it should be. The Hi
inois Central acted exactly right in
refusing to haul a lot of dead-heads.
1t is a deplorable fact that on previous
years the press excursions were taken
advantage OF by numbers OF people not
entitled to the courtesies. and it is
high time thinning out should begin,
and the policy adopted by this road is
the right one and will be commended
by the better class OF the press. 1t is
to be hoped that here after a newspaper
man can go with the press without be-
ing accompanied by a lot of hangers on,
who have no right to the courtesies
extended the profession by the rail
roads and others. The SENTINEL
commends the action of the Illinois
Central.

Forest, Miss, June IL, 1901.
We do hereby certify, under our
signatures. that we saw and examined

the corpse OF MIR. Ed. Larsen. who re-

Manager Forest Lumber Co.
These figures are taken from the
Scott County Register, published at
Forest, the home of Larsen. The Sun
flower Tocsin reproduces the statement
and comments on it thus:
"a glance over the count will con-
vince anyone of the outrageousness of
burying an unknown Swede stave-
maker 10 a 1925 casket engowned in a
$l10 burial robe, to which is also added
extreme charges for clothes, under
wear, etc., not to mention the 1874 %
for three days board. almost S12 per
day, at the magnificent hotel that
Sunflower boasts of, and borrowing IS
when he had $345 in cash as shown.
For the good OF the county abroad this
matter should be investigated. The
reputation of our good people for liber-
atty and chivalrous treatment should
not be sullied by an attempt to rob the
dead, because they have some money
with which to pay their legitimate ex-
penses. We hope, for the sake Of our
county's fair anne the charge Is not
true. There never was a S125 burial
casket in the county and we doubt If
ever there was a $110 burial rLbe in the
state OF Mississippi. To us it looks as
though, after the poor fellow had died,
and they had discovered the amount oil
money he had, that a conspiracy was
formed to size up his pile and take it
all. We are surprised that even as
much as 60 cents in stamps was sent
home. 1t is a disgrace on Dur pretend
ed civilization"
Since the above was written Mr.,
Helms has seut a communication to the
Commercial Appeal, stating that the
above is not the correct bill, as made
out by him, and that he now has s2O(
on hand to the credit OF the deceased
The only corrections made are In the
amounts charged for the casket ant
the burial robe, the former, he says
being s25, instead Of s125; and the lat
ter $40, instead OF $11O. The 80 cent
enclosure, which reads to ''balance &C
count" he says, should be ''express OF
Clothes"
In his letter to the Commercial Ap
peal Mr.. Helm says, referring to hi
accompanying bill; "You will see from
the above statement that I have onl,
} paid out 1886 in actual cash, thes,
other bills are still in my possession
also a balance OF 1921. 40 less these bill

! Continuing, the Commercial Appea
says: "Those whose hair is somewha
