A CARD OF THANKS.

We are happy to announce that the
library movement, which was inaugura-
ted last week, has resulted even more
successfully than we anticipated. |
take this opportunity of expressing,
in the name of both pupils and teach
ers, our sincere thanks to the many
friends who so generously assisted US
in this movement. We are informed
that the amount received would have
been greater had it not been that some
misunderstood the circular which was
issued. The sole purpose of the cir
cular was to stimulate interest and in
duce the friends of the school to con-
was no intention or thought of ad-
vancing the interests of any individual
or firm. 1t was desired to have some
one set the pace so that the people
might know better what our wishes
and expectations we're, and to this end
we applied to one of the most prom
inent firms in the city to head the
list. This firm knew nothing of the
circular until after it was issued
The mention of the name and the
amount was for no other purpose than
to create a laudable spirit of emula-
ton on the part of others. We regret
that our motives were not better un-
derstood by all.
If there are others who desire to
help in this good cause, we cordially
invite them to send in their contribu-
tions, either in money or in books.
Very respectfully,

Principal.

Hon. Sydney Mccain Smith, the bril-
liant representative of the great county
of Holmes, who has forever left the
imprint of his genius and patriotism
upon the legislation of his State. III
Mr.. Smith has done nothing else-and
his legislative career is rich with re-
sults-his name would have been en-
balmed in fame. Nor must a devoted
and tireless press fail to receive its
need of praise for the zeal it has dis
played by constant and persistent
effort for the upbuilding of the State
and the betterment of mankind.
The exposition bureau met at the
governors office this afternoon and
organized by the election of Hon. o.
B. Quin as president pro tempore and
Hon. Frank Burkitt as secretary.
Governor Longino, who is ex-officio
president, presided. A resolution was
adopted reciting that organization is
essential to success and authorizing
the governor at his convenience to ap
point an honorary commissioner for
each of the seventy-five counties and
five other commissioners, one from
each supervisors district of the sew
enty-five counties, to cooperate with
the bureau in the matter of success
full exhibit at the st. Louis fair, under
rules and regulations hereafter to be
prescribed by the bureau. The bureau
adjourned until April 3, when a State
commissioner will be chosen, thus
giving all the applicants ample time to
present their claims to the bureau. At
that meeting plans will doubtless be
formulated and the machinery for a
magnificent exhibit put in motion.

What The LEADER said about Bishop
Galloway and Senator Alf George be-
ing responsible for the defeat of State
Prohibition, has called forth long
criticism from the Jackson Evening
News. The LEADER has no desire to
enter into a discussion of the Prohi-
bition question, Bishop Galloway and
Senator George with the News, but we
want to ask it just one question: If
what Bishop Galloway and Senator
George have done to sfeat State Pro,
hibition, helps the cause of Prohibi-
ton. why is it the News, which has
always opposed Prohibition and is still
an avowed advocate of high licensed
saloons, endorses and defends them
for using their influence to kill State
Prohibition bill? Give us a frank
honest, straight forward answer to this
question, Bro. Bellinger, and no dodg
ing.

OFF ON FACTS.

When the Jackson News says that
the editor of THE LEADER is Populist
and was Populist candidate for Con-
gress, it shows how little it knows about
the political history of its own congress
sional district. The editor of THE
LEADER was not only never Populist
candidate for Congress, but was never
an aspirant for that high office on an y
ticket. 1t is true that in the early
nineties he favored some of the prin-
cipal reforms advocated by the Pop
ulists and which were afterward
incorporated in the Democratic plat
form at Chicago; but he was never
member of the Populist Party.
1t is also true that, unlike the News,
he had the political courage and good
taste to sever for several years his
connection with the Democratic party
because he could not indorse its plat
form and policies rather than, like the
News has done, remain in the party
and become chronic kicker and OBJ
structionist against the majority.
Better contine your Faber to some
thing you know more about than Dem
ocratic principles, congressional dis
trict politics and Prohibition Conven-
tion history, Bro. Bellinger.

WILL LANIER HANGED.
Large Crowd is Present at the

Special to the Times Democrat. |

Special to the Times Democrat
Aberdeen, Miss, March 19.-On no
similar occasion has such an i'm
mense throng been attracted to Aber,
deem as was here today to witness the
execution of William Lanier. 1t was
much like the crowd that gathered at
the hanging of Jones and Miller in
1880 for the massacre of the Walker
brothers while emigrating from Ala
bama to Arkansas. Even the "lament-
ed" Rube Burrows boasted of his pres
ence incog at that event, though a
large reward was hanging over his
head. They came afoot, on horse back,
in vehicles, some with camp equip
ments, from all directions and dis
tances in Mississippi and Alabama.
During the last several days, as it
became evident to Lanier that there
was no possibility of escape, his tone
and conduct changed greatly from that
of Indifference to state of detection,
and he realized that his fate was seal.

ard Wilkinson and Wilson spent some
time with him, administering their
spiritual offices and attended him to
the gallows, where Mr.. Wilkinson Of
fered a prayer. All the males of the
Bittle family were spectators. Lanier
walked to the gallows and mounted
the platform without tremor. A few
moments were accorded him to speak
and he said:
"Gentlemen and Friends i have
come to pay penalty which should be
a warning. would be the happiest
man on earth if knew | would meet
my friends in Heaven. All those who
expect to meet me there make it
known by saying aye Ito which there
was general response.) / warn you
against drinking or violating any of
the laws.
After this short talk he called Po-
liceman Sullivan and whispered re-
quest that he take charge of his body.
Then the death warrant was read by
Sheriff Crosby, the moose was adjusted,
the black cap was placed and the trap
was sprung at Los p. m. The fall was
seven feet, the same as that of the
negro Calvin Williams on the same
gallows a week ago. The fall broke
Lanier's neck and completely severed
his head from the body. The head
fell a'little to the northward, while the
body dropped westward, entirely sep
arated, and the moose on the rebound
landed back on the floor of the scaf
fold. The execution was attended by
Drs. VIM. Paine, j. Alworth, c. P
Hamilton, Frank Paine, E. r. Wren
and Tubb. AS to the decapitation
the doctors accounted for it by bis
long term in prison, and to the fact
that he was fleshy person with small
bones. They thought that a fall OF
four feet would probably have been at.
ended by the same result. The body
was placed in plain coffin by Sheriff
Crosby and delivered to friends, who
took it to country burial ground fol
interment.

HON. FRANK A. McLAIN FOR
CONGRESS-.
THE LEADER to-day contains the
formal announcement of Hon. Frank
A. McLain, of Amite county, for Con-
gress from the new Seventh Con-
gressional district, composed of the
counties of Adams, Amite, Claiborne,
Copiah, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln,
Pike and Wilkinson. Mr.. McLain is
gressman from the old Sixth district,
but under the new congressional ap-
portionment, his county has been
thrown into the new Seventh. For
the time he has served, no Represent
ative in Congress from Mississippi has
accomplished more substantial results
or given more universal satisfaction to
his constituents, and it would be the
part of sound judgment and business
sense for the people to continue him
as member of that body He is no
novice In statecrafC and the public
service. He served his county in the
Mississippi House of Representative
in 1880 50; for eight years he filled the
office of district attorney of the Tenth
judicial district with marked fidelity
and ability; was prominent member
of the Constitutional Convention of
1890, and four years ago was elected to
Congress for the first time over several
strong competitors to fill out the un-
expired term of Hon. VIM. F. Love,
deceased. AS the new Seventh Con
gressioual district is composed largely
of the counties which formed the Tenth
judicial district in which Mr.. McLain
became so well and favorably known
while serving as district attorney, it
would seem he ought to have a walk
over, and probably will.
