JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.

The victory won yesterday by the
Hon. John Sharp Williams in the pri-
mary election held in the eighth con-
gressi0nal district of Mississippi will
gratify every one who believes that
when three good and able men com
plete for a political prize, the ablest
and the best should secure it.
This contest that has been made
in the eighth Mississippi district has
been admirable from start to finish.
The fight has been fought in the open
and the methods employed by each
candidate have been dignifed to the
last degree. 1t is not too much to
say that, fertile as each of the contes-
tants is in political expedients, all of
them have disdained to resort to
methods that degrade political life.
In speech, manner and conduct, both
toward the public and toward one
another, Mr.. Williams, Mr.. Henry
and Mr.. Hooker have illustrated that
dignity, honor and fine sense of the
fitness OF things still rule in Mississip-
pi politics. 1t is therefore quite
within the limits of restrained state
ment, to say that this has reflected
not a little honor both upon the
gentlemen engaged in it and upon the
commonwealth of Mississippi.
The result Of the election will be
regarded with satisfaction throughout
the union. Though it is, Of course
| to be regretted that the rediStricting
of the State has made necessary the
temporary retirement Of two eminent
gentlemen from national politics it is
nevertheless gratifying to know that
a man of Mr.. Williams art and Mr..
Williams scope is again to be men,
Der of the lower branch OF the federal
legislature. His record there has been
creditable to himself, gratifying to his
friends and increasingly useful to his
district, his State and his country.
Mr.. Williams is, as we have had oc-
casion to point out, an honor to the
nation. He scholar, a thinker, a
statesman. AS nearly as any other
man in public life, he represents, as
| "Savoyard" recently wrote in the
Washington Post, the class that was
"the glory OF the old South" and
that for many centuries has been the
bulwark OF the Anglo-SaxOn race in
England. He is the country gentle
man dealing with public affairs. May
he live long and be given strength to
serve aud to honor his country.-N.
o. Times-Democrat, Aug. %.

PAID HIM 10000 PENNIES

Charles G.. Gates, son OF John w.
Gates, proved recently to one of his
customers that he could do exactly as
he was told.
"A friend Of mine dropped in here
Just before noon said young Gates
to Colonel Ellwood. and asked me to
sell couple Of hundred shares Of
something for him, as he needed ready
money. / told him it wasn't the
sort Of a market to sell anything
short in, but that if he would order
me to buy something I'd buy some
stuff that would go up a couple OF
points and give him some spending
money quick He told me to 90 ahead,
and | bought him 200 Louisville and
Nashville. 1t went up two points,
and | closed it out for him making
s400.
I've just told him about it over
the phone, but he evidently thought
| was 'jollying him, and he laughed
and said if had a profit for him to
send it over to him in pennies. Hell
drop dead in about twenty minutes,
because | IN going to obey orders to
the letter, and I've Just sent two of
the porters to the sub-treaSury to get
40, 600 new pennies. They've each got
a half-bushe sack to carry the stuff
in, and when they land at my friend s
office and dump his profit on the floor
he'll think that he's stakeholder in
a copper mine, and that he's collect
ing his profit in raw material"
The programme was carried out, but
the porters who carried the great mass
of pennies to the Office of the investor
woulden't repeat what he said. Mr..
Gates wouldn't give the name Of the
victim of the joke. York World

A GREAT DEVELOPER.

The Meridian Star contains the fol-
lowing which is strictly in line with
the facts in the case:
IF the Illinois Central railroad had
a country as rich in soil, resources and
populated by as enterprising people as
are found in the counties of east and
southeast Mississippi, what a wonder
full change would have taken place
along the line Of that road. And if
the east and southeast counties had as
liberal railway company supporting
the people what more marvellous
transformation would be noted in a
few years. Having no company cap
italized at millions Of dollars to lend
in the movement, the people must get
together and do their own capitalizing.
That done, the largest and greatest of
railways will toss sweets this way and
queen cities that nestle in the hills of
this section
The Illionis Central railroad is the
greatest developer that Mississippi
has. 1t has done more for the section
of the country through which it runs
than any one factor in the state. Its
policy has been broad and liberal, and
when it saw an opportunity to benefit
the people it did not hesitate to take
advantage of it. That portion of Mis-
sissippi through which this road runs
has felt the quickening power of its
broad and liberal policy. 1t has seen
the effects of its intelligent and ef-
fective promoting. There is certainly
no railroad corporation in the south
which can compare with the Illinois
Central in this respect. 1t is head
and shoulders above any of them. 1t
has worked with intelligence and per-
sistency. and its labors have been pro-
ductive of great deal of good. Jack
son News.

THE POWER OF A HAND.

The States reprints this waif from
a forgotten exchange for the beauty
of sentiment and strength of morality
contained in it. It's tender sentiment
will recall powerfully the blessed re-
collection of the past to many a man
whose hair is tinged with grey, and it
will, maybe, bring moments
pleasing reflection to some whose lives
have long been cold and cherries. To
those who still enjoy the inestmable
boon of living, sympathetic mother
its perusal ought to incite the liveliest
gratificatin. The clipping is as
follows:
What memory Of your boyhood days
exerted the strongest influence for
good in your life?" / asked this
question of man past 40, whose rec
cord has been so clean and wholesome
that l was curious to know what
secret, If any, lay beneath the calm
serenity of his common every day ex-
perience, says an exchange. The
memory Of mothers hand upon my
knee" was the quick reply. when a
restless little boy in church 1 pitched
about upon the high, uncomfortable
seat, mother used to lay her hand
gently upon my knee, and whisper:
"only a little longer, dear. Keep
quiet a little longer, for mothers
sake"
Somehow the pressure Of her soft
hand always Soothed me; and often l
would 60 to sleep, and, on waking, find
it still there. The years that have
slipped by since then have been fraught
with trials and temptations, and the
path Of duty has been hard and diff
cult, yet there never has been time
when the memory Of that soft touch
upon my knee, in the old home church,
has not been like a clasp of steel to
keep my feet from wandering into by
paths of SIM"
There were tears in the mans eyes,
and his lips quivered, as he continued:
And now that she is no longer living,
the memory of that touch is still more
potent. / feel that. for mother s sake
/ must still keep my daily actions
blameless. New Orleans States.

SIB ERIAN BUTTER IN EASTERN
MARKETS

Washington, d. c., July %. - Un-
der date May 29, 1902, Henry B. Mil.
Ter, consul at Niuchwang, China,
writes as follows regarding Siberian
butter in Eastern Markets.
Siberia is bidding strongly for the
butter trade Of the East. Not only
are tue markets Of Dalny and Port
Arthur supplied 10y the Siberian pro-
product, but it is also shipped in con.
siderable quantities to the principal
commercial ceDuers OF China and
Japan. The possibilities for the pro-
duction OF both milk and butter in
Siberia are unlimited
Two grades Of Siberian butter are
sold in Niuchwang. The first grade
table butter-is put up either in ,.
pound rolls or in 2-pound casks or
tins. 1t contains very little salt and
cannot withstand a warm climate.
consequently it is successfully shipped
only during the winter months. The
price OF table butter at TomsK is l2
rubles per pood, or about l6y cents a
pound.
The second grade is used only for
cooking purposes and is put ao in 5.
gallon oil cans casks or rolls. 1t re-
tails at Tomsk at rubleS per pood,
or about 10 cents per pound, The
cost Of shipping freight from Tomsk
to Manchuria $50 rubles per pood, or
$3.50 per 36.l12 pounds, but it is
hoped that this rate will soon be CON
siderably reduced.
