One of the most curious traits to be
found in the animal nature, said an
observant citizen, is that which grows
out of the unconscious imitativenc IS
of creatures of the lower order. l
have observed many instances of
where the creatures of a lower order
have taken on the characteristics In
some noticeable degree Of members
OF the human family. One might
know. for instance, the beggar's dog,
lust from the look Of the dog, from
the droop Of the eye, to the pathetic
hang of the lip, and certain general
air OF dependency and hOpeleSSneSS
which seem to speak in the very nl-
ture of the animal ! mention the beg
sar's dog because it is a familiar eX-
annie. The beggars dog never looks
cheerful, never smiles, nor frOlics, but
simply sits by his master and broods,
and begs for whatever charity may
give.
have seen the dog character mold
ed under happier influences and the
dog become more cheerful. He was
light-hearted. free-afd-easy sort OF
creature and seemed TO get something

HANGING OF COOKE AND LAUDER
DALE

On last Tuesday morning at ll:21
O'Clock at Greenville. Ashley Cocke
and Tom Lauderdale paid the death
penalty for the murder Of Engineer
Wray. The execution was witnessed
by about 5000 people. must Of them
negroes. and there was not a single
disturbance to mar the peacefulness
Of the scene. although it had been re-
ported that trouble was sure. How
ever. precautions had been taken
which were sufficient to cope with any
amount Of trouble which might arise.
Both men were hung from the same
Scaffold and the closing seem was a
tragic one. Cooke died cursing the
state. the courts and almost every
thing else. while Lauderdale had but
little 10 say. although very wicked
almost 10 the end. According to the
testimony. the crime for which the
two men died vas one OF the most
brutal and uncalled-for eyer perpetrat-
ed in Mississippi and in their execu-
ton only the just penalty Of the law
was given them. Ii vas a terrible
penalty. but the majesty Of the law
has been upheld. 1t is a reflection Of
credit upon the courts Of the state
that the punishment was melted out
81 promptly and satisfactorily. The
good name uf the state was given a
boost and the respect Of the public for
the courts heightened. The charge
that men Of prominent families will
not he punished for their crimes was
c%ontroverted. and today the respect
for law in Mississippi is at a higher
pitch than for many years.
Governor Longino was appealed to
in vain to commute the sentence to
life imprisonment. Several efforts
were made. but the governor kindly
but firmly declined to interfere. On
Monday a large delegation Of prOmi-
nent people, friends and relatives OF
Cocke. appeared before that officer
and for several hours made every APP
peal possible for the condemned men.
The ordeal was a trying one on the
governor. but the result was the same
as before. The crime had been com
mitted and the men had to receive
the penalty.
The public sympathizes with the
families Of the two men. but feel that
the Governor did right in declining Il
interfere. The family Of Cooke was
especially prominent. while the Lau.
derdale family stood very well. They
sought every possible resource in theii
endeayOr TO a y the men from TIL
gallors, and spent money freely. bu'
every effort was fruitless.
Particulars Of the double hangin!
will be found elsewhere in this issue.

POLITICIANS MUST PAY FOR NEWS.
PAPER PUFFS.

The excellent Meridian Press
arises To- say; The newspapers Of
the county are at last enforcing a rule
requiring candidates for Office to pay
for their advertising. And why not:
To give notices free to men seeking
the honors and emoluments Of Office
is TO give away space for which the
the newspapers would charge mer-
chants and other business men. Is it
not high time that all politicians were
required to pay for their advertise
ment: The weekly press of Missis-
sippi have lost most of the old custom
and we are glad to learn that the
weekly newspapers rs a rule are TAX
ing hold of the plan. Their space
is worth a good deal to the aspirants
to Office and il is nothing but right
that it should bring its market value.
The result will be increased incomes
for the newspapers and a greater re-
spect for them on the part OF the pol
iticians.
The Press is prominently correct
in what it says, and when the news
papers make il a matter of business
with aspirants for Office just the
same as is done with those who aspire
TO business in commercial circles both
the Office seeker and, the people will
have a higher regard for them, and
the owners of the papers will have
more respect for themselves. -Natchez

Governor Longino received several
kilograms on the day Of the double
hanging in Greenville threatening
harm to himself or some of his family
unless he committed the sentence of
Cooke and Landerdale. The Governor
paid no attention to the threats, but
the same night some n was prowling
about his residence as if trying to gain
entrance. The friends Of the Cover
nor were a little afraid that some des-
perate friend of Cooke might attempt
assassination. but every %precaution
will be taken to forestall any such.
If any real move is made to take the
life of Governor LonginO several lives
will pay the penalty for such des-
peration.

Woman Always The Sufferer.

In the fearful final chapter of the
tragedy that brings Ashley Cooke and
Lauderdale to their deaths at the end
of Il rope, the pathetic figures of
mother and sister must command
sympathy from all men. Men shoot
and kill and die and women suffer.
No crime was ever committed by man
born Of woman that Some woman did
not feel the pangs of the agony.
Women are responsible for few infrac-
tions Of law, seldom do they break
the laws Of man or God. The Grim
inal instinct is not found in their
breast. The wrong they may do is
the result of emotion. 1t is a sad
thing that women who are innocent
must have their hearts pierced by the
frailties of those who are stronger, less
tender and sensitive. Men quickly
forget: women think and remember.
If there was aught in the power OF
man to soften the blow that will fall
on Cookies aged mother and permit
the carrying out to the letter the
mandate of the law the world would
be happier for the knowledge of such
a thing.-Memphis Commercial Ap-

Four men paid the penalty for MUIR
der in Mississippi last Tuesday. Two
OF them were white men of good fam
lilies, while two were negroes. All
were given fair and impartial trials
and were beyond IA doubt guilty of the
crimes charged against them. The
hangings were in the delta, a section
which has been charged with being
rather tough and lawless, but which
seems to be tired of such a reputation.
That the execution of the law in these
cases will have a most salutary effect
on lawbreakers is not to doubted.
Mississippi people believe in law and
order just as strongly as those of any
other state.

Blackheads, pimples, greasy faces
and muddy compilations, which are so
common among women, especially
girls at a certain age, destroying
beauty, distiguring and making rcpul-

that the liver is out of order. An oc-

EXCURSIONS.

The special Friday and Saturday evening
excursions to Old Point and Norfolk given
by the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company continue popular despite the late
ness OF the season. These trips afford ex-
ceptional opportunities for those who de-
sire to spend few days out Of town be-
fore settling in their city homes. Tickets
are sold at reduced rates and are good to
return, leaving Old Point and Norfolk Sun
day and Monday evenings. The steamers Of
this line lack nothing to make the sail down
the river enjoyable. They are heated by
steam, lighted by electricity and have ex-
cellent cafes. They leave the wharf, foot
OF 7th street, at $50 p. m. and reach Nor
folk early the following morning. Daily
connections are made there with Old Do
minion liners for New York and with Mer-
chant and Miners steamships for Boston.
Tomorrow at o'clock the steamer Chas.
Manchester will make another one Of those
delightful sails of forty miles down the
Potomac and return giving all who go a
continuous river ride of eighty miles with
out making stop. Returning, the steam
er will reach home about o'clock p m. The
scenery along the river and the evening
sunset at this time Of year are magnificent
The cafe on the steamer will serve meals
and lunches during the entire run and re-
freshments can be had at city prices.
