Two Uupseosoat Naval OAesrs Who Got
WHIST They Deserved.

Two Uupaeasont Naval OAesEs Who Got
Whist They Deserved.
Captain J. J. Hunker. commanding
the naval station at Newport, is long.
slab-sided and lanky, and his chest
Hooks caved in. You would have to
jostle him for fear he would fall apart
in a hundred pieces. He is the
strongest man in the navy. and can
whip his weight in wildcats. In a
wardroom mess with Hunker once was
one of the worst DULLES who ever dis
graced the American navy. He was
feet tall Hercules in build, and could
put longboat on his back and pack
it ashore. For the first week that he
joined the ship he made 1t hell Tor
everybody on her. On the seventh day.
when breakfast was over and he got
up to go out of the wardroom, Hunker
asked him to sit down again. He re-
quested all the other officers OF the
mess to go on deck and stay there till
he sent for them. They could see In
his eye what he intended to do, and
it was a pity; he was thin as a rail
and stoop-shouldered-be as If with
| a cough. But they went out and left
| him with the giant. Ten minutes later
| Hunker invited them in again. The
bully looked as If he had been through
meat chopper. He went to bed and
stayed there for three weeks. To this
day he is an angel of grace and cour-
| tesy.
| It will not do to mention this Of
| ficer's name, but in the navy there is
a commander who thought 1t part OF
his duty to play the sneak act. When
the men were in their hammocks he
used to creep in on them in stocking
feet to see if they were talking OF
otherwise infringing orders after taps
One night sailor reached up from
his hammock and smashed in his fac
with hammock hook. The officers
of the ship, sitting as a court on tn
sailor, acquitted him on his defens
that he thought the catlike intrude
was a thief trying to rob him. OH
GERS and men will have no sneak bus
mess in the navy.

the formality of proving their claims.
Many of the Indians will move over
land. Each will get 800 acres o; fer
tile land, of an average value of about
So. 500. All must make the journey
within four months, or they will be

records in the Dan Raines case to the
Circuit Clerk of Lee county and the
case will come up for new trial at
the February term Of the Circuit
Court. having been reversed and re-

wife, a shotgun being the weapon used,
and the defense attempted to show
that it was an accidental homicide,
and that the prisoner had no intention
of committing murder. He was given
life sentence in the penitentiary, but
in view Of the Supreme Court rever-
sal, and the grounds set forth, it is
now thought that he will be acquitted

WORK OF THE PROHIS1
Much Interest Aroused in the Anti-Liquor
Agitation. Most Of the Papers
Oppose Prohibition.

Since the call was issued for pro-
hibition mass convention to assemble
in jackson on the 18th Of February,
the press Of Mississippi has commend.
ed to express itself in outspoken terms
on the subject, and strong sentiment
is being manifested against statutory
prohibition.
Several Of the leading papers of the
State are strenuous advocates Of an
absolute prohibition law, and are de-
handing the insertion Of the subject
as the leading issue in the State CAM
paign next year, but a large majority
Of the papers, as indicated by their
editorials this week, are opposed to
any ohange..of the existing local op-
ton laws or favor the establishment
Of the sispensary system.
Prohibition cannot prohibit" is
the general cry that is being set up all
over Mississippi, and among the poll :
ticians diligent effort is being made
to prevent the issues from being made
in the State campaign. On the other
hand the prohlDitionists are. unusually
active and declare that no man shall
be elected to the Legislature or State
office who does not support their
cause. The Methodist and Baptist
churches are joining hands with the
w. Q. T. u. ana it looks very much
like the church and politics will have
lively mix-up next year.
Although the campaign is not as yet
well-defined, it is parent on the sur
face that the instrument the anti
prohibitionists will use to defeat their
opponents is the proposed dispensary
system, and the fight will be the most
bitter that has been waged since 1887
when the State declared for local OPP
ton and the existing law was drafted
and placed on the statute books by the
Legislature of the following year.
A mere handful of men, not over
dozen in number. by shrewd work at

the last Legislative session, prevented
the passage OF a statutory prohibition
law, but this time the saloon element
will not trust to legislative manipula-
ton. The fight will be carried into
each county by friend and foe of IL
quor, and the issue is to be made di-
rect on instructions to the legislator.
The movement is on foot to have
printed on the official ballots, "For
Statutory Prohibition, land against
Statutory Prohibition, and the anti
saloonists will insist that this course
be followed.
The blind tiger element, which is
quite large, if not very respectable, is
expected to be found silently working
with the prohibition element, as it has
always done in the past, for the blind
tiger men realize that the more
stringent the prohibition laws are
made the better opportunity he has
to ply his vocation.
Temperance orators, and anthem
perance orators, will be imported in
to the State, and the campaign means
the exenditure Of thousands of dol
lars. Aspirants for public office, re-
CARELESS Of their personal views en- the
subject, realize that the prohibition
campaign will be unpleasant music to
face, and they are decidedly reluctant
to declare their sentiments until they
are forced to do So
The State campaign, aside from the
prohibition feature, promised to be
one Of the most spirited for many
years, but with the injection of this
issue, ana an absolute primary cleo
ton law, the bitterness will be in
creased ten-fold, and the aspirants
for public place will have to waltz to
"hamony jangling out Of tune The
issue must be faced and each and every
candidate must announce himself Oh
one side or the other, for neither OF
the opposing forces will allow neutral
ground.
