The Felicianas, of Jackson, La,
speaks in very flattering terms Of
Edward McGehee College, and the
standard of excellence it has attain.
ed under the Presidency of Miss
Swanson. 1t says: "A private
letter from Woodville, Miss, speaks
in most flattering terms of the
Edward McGehee College for Girls,
at that place, of which Miss Georgia
Swanson is President. The present
is proving to be one of the brightest
and most promising years of its
existence. The chief aim of this
institution is to provide here at
home a school of that peculiar art
and charm, that high degree OF
character and polish that we are
always accustomed to seeking
abroad. In selecting Miss Swan
son for the work the Trustees have
undoubtedly struck the keynote
of success. No one who has had
the pleasure of meeting Miss Swan.
son can for moment doubt this.
Combining the highest accomplish,
ments with a charmingly modest
personality, she possesses a grace
and ease, an elegance and a polish
that cannot fail to leave its impress
its contagion, upon all with whom
she is thrown in contact. The
present success of the institution
over which she presides is due tC
her alone, and she is making for i
name which will eventually linl
hers with that class of prominent ed
ucators of the South whose strong
individually and ability have bull
up under adverse circu instances in
stitutions of the highest characte
and reputation"

The coal strike that has been in
progress since last May in the an
thricite coal regions of Pennsylva.
mia has been practically settled and
unless something unforeseen hap
pens, work in the mines will be re-
stunned in few days. The settle
ment was effected through the APP
pointment, by President Roosevelt,
of a board of seven arbltrators who
will adjust the differences. The
hardships and suffering of the poor
people especially, owing to the
scarcity of coal carried its weight
ending the strike.

The rate of $40, as fixed by the
Yazoo Sentinel, as fair coinpen-
sation for the announcement fees
for State candidates should be adop-
ted by every paper in the state and
we note that many have already
announced their intention of doing
so. There is no reason why the
newspapers should do free adver.
Using for state candidates, and any
smaller fee would amount to this.

The Grenada Fair was decided
success i'll every particular, and
special interest conferred upon the
display of live stock and agricultu-
raj products. An annual Fair in
every county in the state would be
a great benefit to stock-raising, by
improving the breeds. as we'll as to
agricultural pursuits. We trust
that ere long Wilkinson county will
reorganize its Association and hold
Fairs each year.

The Ocean Springs Progress well says
that "the men who harm the town may
be found among those who oppose i'm.
provementS; those who don't advrtise;
those who distrust public men; those
who run it down to strangers; those
who show no hospitality to anyone
those who hate to see others make
money; those who treat every stranger
as an interloper; those who put on long
faces when a stranger talks of locating
those who oppose every public enter
prise that does not appear to be a
personal benefit to themselves.

Many of the towns of the state
are complaining of the number of
worthless loafers that infest the
street corners, without any visible
means of support. The rigid en-
forcement of the vagrant law will
act as a remedy, and rid the towns
of this bad element. WoodvilIe has
cleared her streets Of them by fore
ing them to go to work or take
their choice between Jail sentence
or leave the town, and it can be
done in every town in the state.

The police of Jackson have been

Major S. A, Jonas, in an edito,
rial in the last issue Of the Aber'

picture of B. X. Bruce, the negro
who represented Mississippi in the

right and proper that the picture
OF Ames should appear among the
governors of this state. but to per

The second annual convention OF
Sons of Confederate Veterans met
at Jackson OIL Wednesday. The
meeting was we'll represented by
delegates from all of the state. The
final sale of Beauvoir, the former
home of Jefferson Davis, was con-
summated, and the place will be

resented at this convention.

The street car strike in New
Orleans was ended on Monday and
the men have returned to work and
ears are running regularly. The
terms agreed upon was for ten
hours work at 20 cents per hour.
The prompt action on the part of
Governor Heari in sending the
state militia to New Orleans to
assist in enforcing the law, had
the desired effect and beyond doubt
brought about the settlement of the
strike.

l.. Il. YENTRESS, President.
The man who has no enemies IS
of so little consequence that it
matters little to him or any one
else whether he is liked or dis
liked. Of course the person who
is without character, honesty, in
tegrity, wisdom, and other de-
serving traits, and who does not
treat every one IN a right and just
manner, will have enemies, and a
great many of them; but if a
person was perfection, he would
still have foes. If one is prosper
Gus and popular with the best
people, because he possesses such
traits as to deservedly merit pros
perity and popularity, there is
always a class of people who, for
no other reason than envy or
jealousy, become a foe, and use
every means in their power to de-
stray his standing and influence.
1t makes no difference how friend
ly or courteously you treat these
enviOus ones or how many favors
you show them, they are ever
ready to do u mean, underhand
act to you. They haven't the
courage to come out openly and
oppose you, but it is the dirty,
low, mean little acts and words
that they indulge in, which shows
that they are hypocritical sneaks.
They are the worst enemies one
can have, but in the long run they
do themselves more injury than
the people they SANDER, for their
sins will eventually find them out.

Washington. Feb S.-While details

to be had of the report from Peking
that the United States government is
acting with Japan and Great Britain
in resisting any action by Russia and
China in the shape of Manchurian
treaty that would threaten the inter
ests of the United States in that Sec

The state department has made per-
fectly clear to Russia it's purpose to
retain whatever trade advantages it
has in Manchuria, and its attitude in
that matter probably has prevented
the summary closing of Manchurian
ports to any but Russian trade.
The questions now involved, name

sions and the right to construct rail
roads in Manchuria are regarded as
only secondary in Importance to the
question of the open door. and our
diplomatic representatives conse-
quently are acting under conservative
