very interesting case was decided
by Justice Fitzgerald. at Jackson last
week and one which is out of the
ordinary. A negro student at the
Alcorn A. and M. College came home
on a vacation when he was summoned
by the road overseer to work on the
roads. He refused, on the ground that
he was a student and he did not have
to work the roads. The oyerseer had
him arrested and he was tried before
Justice Fitzgerald. The justice, after
hearing the evidence, held that the
student was liable for road duty, when
he was not in college, and gave him a
small fine. The lawyers for the stu
dent took an appeal, but later with
drew 1t, and the man paid his fine.
This Is the first time that question OF
this kind has come up before any of
the courts In this section.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The Legislature adjourned at noon
on Friday and went in body on an
excursion to Gulfport, where the har-
Dor facilities we're inspected and u
visit made to Ship Island. Gulfport
did her best to entertain the solons in
becoming manner.
Little Roadway has been made so far
in the way of legislation. Up to Mon.
day morning only two bills had been
passed. One of these was to pay the
expenses of the session and the other
was to make an appropriation of 81.
100000 FOR the common schools of the
State. Both the senate and the house
have passed several bills, but these two
are the only ones which have become
laws.
Senator Noel is meeting with many
snags in getting his constitutional
amendment for an elective judiciary to
vote. 1t has been twice referred to
the Judiciary Committee, where it now
sleeps.
The senate has passed an amend
ment to the local option law, prohibit
ing the granting of licenses by boards
of supervisors for the sale of liquors
outside of incorporated towns. A
substitute for this bill by Mr.. Abbey
of Tunica, to prohibit the sale OF
liquors any where in the State, was
voted down-25 to 10.
The House has passed bill appro
priating $4,000 for Mississippi ex
hibit at the st. Louis Fair in 1903
The Penitentiary investigation re
ferred to elsewhere in this paper, is
exciting a great deal of interest among
the legislators as well as outsiders.

Children and Sweethearts.

/ often wonder if mothers of little
daughters appreciate what they are do
ing when they jest with them about
their "little sweethearts" and "beaux."
There is so much of this kind of talk
that the clear-eyed listener sickens in
the hearing While the boys and girls
are young they should be comrades,
playmates, friends; but the possibility
of tender relations existing should
never for a moment enter the heads of
the innocent children. When Mabel's
mother speaks of twelve year old Jack
as her "beau," and the little girl
fiushes with self-consciousness or with
anger, the irreparable wrong has been
done. The bloom has already begun
to come off the peach. The longer
boys and girls are kept in ignorance of
the fact that they can be anything but
dear friends, the happier they will be.
They cannot help knowing that grown
men and women love and are given in
marriage, but the grown up period
seems very far off to them, and those
who love them should keep them chill
dren as long as possible. They can be
children but once. -Hmper's Bazaar.

4 MISSISSIPPI1N KNOWN TO
FAME

A monument to the memory of S. M.
Patton, architect, has just been erected
to his memory at Chattanooga, where
he persisted in fire April 3, 1897. Mr..
Patton was a son of Col w. Lee Pat
ton, of Summit, and was born on his
fathers plantation in Rankin County
July L., 1857. The monument, which
is an imposing one of Vermont granite
surmounted by bust of Mr.. Patton
was erected by his friends and stands
on the Courthouse lawn in Chatta-
nooga. The first great work of Mr..
Patton in that city was the famous inn
on the top of Lookout Mountain, after
which he easily took the lead in his
profession.

During Admiral Schley's visit to
Chicago a reporter ventured the re-
mark, referring to the shouting crowds,
that the admiral "had it all coming to
him"
ut is as great crowd as can be
hoped for on this EARTH" the admiral
remarked, half to himself, "but in the
skies above, boys, we shall all be
judged and will receive our proper re-
ward. The reward for the good we
have done, l mean, and punishment
or our misdeeds. /"

Gentlemen of the Legislature, what
ever else you may do or leave undone,
you will deserve the execration of the
honest, tax-paying, substantial citi-
zenship of the State, from one end of
the commonwealth to the other, if you
do not repeal the present primary cleo
ton law and pass an honest and just
one in its place.

If the Legislature does not take up
and consider new primary election

ject and extending the session until
they take it up and deal with it as its
great Importance demands.

NOT DEAD, BUT LIVING!

The following lines we're written
upon the news that a dear little friend
was dying. Impressed with the
thought that his eyes had closed for.
ever on sleep and filled with sympa-
thy, born of similar experience, the
lines were penned in few moments
filed with solicitude for the young
parents. The little boy unexpectedly
recovered. In years to come may he
read the verses and honor the senti-
ment therein expressed:
Oh! the little boy that's sleeping
He's not gone away from you;
He'll be with you now forever and for aye.
You will see him in the morning.
He'll be with you still al night.
And he'll lnger near you ever all the day.
OH had he lived, your darling,
He might have left you truly
His tender feet grown callous on the way
But now he's with you surely;
Oh he lives and loves you purely,
For never can your baby go astray.
But the little one you're nesting,
ON! he may soon fOrsake you
We can't keep the living near us, like the dead
For the sin that quickly grieves u.s.
Takes the little feet and leaves us
Where Death had been preferred to Life instead
Then thank God for any burden
He's seen fit to cast upon you.
Since no soul is lost (your sight with tears is dim)
Pray for strength for living grief,
Defiled by sin and unbelief-
The greatest need you have is need of Him

A pENITENTIARY SCANDAL.

u n A n
Mississippi has another Penitentisry
scandal on its hands which, judged by
the smoke being raised about it, will,
like some of those of the past, "smell
to heaven" when all of the crooked
ness is brought to light. According to
the report of the joint investigating
committee, appointed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature to investigate
the Penitentiary management of the
past several years, there have been
peculation, ENLIGHTENMENT and PARTIAL
ty in the making and enforcing OF
contracts, to say nothing of loose bust
ness management, by which the State
has lost thousands of dollars. The re-
port of the investigating committee
covers a portion of Gov. Stones last
administration, all of the McLaurin
administration and nearly two years
of Gov. Longino's, and is too indefinite
to satisfy the public as to where the
chief blame rests for the wrongs
charged. Some of the parties who
may be chiefly responsible are now
out of office or dead, but the report
of the committee is not specific enough
to definitely locate the delinquents.
On last Friday Gov. Longino sent
the following special message to the
Legislature, which clearly states some
important facts bearing upon the sub
ject, and the timeliness and sentiment
of which will be heartily endorsed by
the people:
