Jackson, Aug. 15.-President j. G.
Hardy, of the Mississippi Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical College, Is out
spoken in opposition to the PROPOSE
tion of Maj. James X. Vardaman,
candidate for Governor, to devide
the school fund between the races,
allowing the negro only such schools
as are justified by the taxes paid by
the race, and predicts that it would
add serious complication to the
race problem, an action that will not
be countenanced by the people of
Mississippi.
Mai. Vardaman is pushing his Issue
with much vigor, and his retorts to
the public men who oppose him are
somewhat impo1ite. Ia a recent
issue of the Greenwood Common
wealth he refers to DR.. #. J. Bailey,
editor of The Baptist, which recently
published strong editorial on the
subject as 'a little squirt" and
characterIzes his utterance as "pusil-
luminous asininity' DR.. Bailey re-
torts somewhat in kind by saying
that Maj. Vardaman is not decent
man to elect governor.

It was from her, also, that drawl which has always characterized his speech. and is not an affectafion, as many people have supposed. This drawI so enhances the humor of Twain's re- marks that 1t cannot but be regarded as a lucky gift of nature. MT.

 Now, judge he would say. Suppose such and such a question arose. what would you do in that case?" And with much care and deliberation the judge would enter into the pros and cons of the case and set forth his reasons and decis- ions
 Several months elapsed before a friend of the judge appraised him that the opin- ions he had been handing down to the barber were in reality upon parallel cases brought to the thrifty barber by his friends, who set great store by his sound Judgment and acumen and who gladly paid a small fee in return.
 At first the equilibrium of the astute Jurist was sorely disturbed When he visited the shop the next morning the conversation opened up in much the same manner
 Judge" said the barber Eve been thinking of a most interesting case" He then asked: Now what would you ad- vise?''
 After a long pause the judge replied:
 What would I advise? Well, let me see. Why. I'd advise that you come to my office and bring a certified check for 800 and I will be glad to let you know Good morning."
