LET HIM SPEAK.

1t may be that the governor will
treat the Rush statements with silent
contempt, but if he does he will treat
the people of the entire state in the
same manner. He cannot allow
these statements to go unchallenged
which will indicate that he is bigger
than the people and what he says
must go.
There is scarcely paper in the
state which has the least desire to do
the governor injustice, and there is
not one that would not defend him
where it is proved that he IS being
unjustly criticised. But the state-
ments made by Mr.. Rush come from.
the shoulder and from man whose
word has never been heretofore
doubted. He did not mince his
words, but told astraight story of the
case, the part he performed and the
part that the governor performed,
Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1902-08-08

and since it is noticeable that the
governor had no desire to prosecute
Showers at the proper time, it has the
general appearance of case where
the governor would feel much better
if the matter could be forever
dropped. But it win not drop. 1t
has come to stay, and although it is
a subject the people of the state had
rather see relegated to the rear they
are not ready to dismiss it where it
is and the governor had as well come
out with statement of denial or ex-
PLANTATION.

Since it Is now known that the
governor will not call an extra ses-
sion of the legislature to repeal the
valued policy insurance law the peo-
pie of the state viii watch very care
fully the working OF the present law.
IL it works hardship on the farmer
and local cotton factor the question
will naturally arise, Why was it ever
allowed to become law? It would
be good thing now for the trainers
of the law to give some reasons why
the old law was Objectionable and to
name the Objectionable points. If
the valued policy law proves to be
hurtful the legislature is certainly
responsible, for it is not supposed to
pass laws that will work detrimental
to the best interests of all the people,
but for their good. If the law proves
to be beneficial then the governor
should be applauded for the stand he
has taken in the matters But only
time will tell which is right.

The million dollar state house, by
George, is looming up all right and
there is not much doubt that the
house will "get there If the money
does not give out. But since it takes
over $4,000 to do the lighting and
$4,000 to grade the grounds, hanging
the front gate, which, according to
the same rate, would cost $4,000, it
is feared that the sum of money set
aside for the construction of the
building will give out before the last
nail is driven.

A fire at Weston, Mass. recently de-

which antedated the Revolution many
years. 1t was here that President
Washington passed night on his way
to Cambridge and Boston in 17S9, and
in 1T9S President John Adams occupied
the chamber previously that of Wash
ington. On the following day he re-
ceived an address from the townspeo-
pie, and his reply is still preserved in
the Weston town library. What renders
the burning of this memorable tavern
the more to be regretted is the loss by
this fire of the old colonial flag of thir-
teen stars which for many years float

Detroit, Bee. 11.-Reciprocity be-
was the key in the speeches last night
at the dinner rendered the delegates
to the national reciprocity convention
by the Detroit Chamber of Commerce,
and the arguments in favor of it pre-
scented by Hon. John Charlton. member
of the Canadian parliament. and
Campbell Shaw. of Buffalo. were en-
Enthusiastically received by the 500 meIf
who were present. The afternoon seS-
sion of the conference was given over
to the address by Governor y. Il. Cum
Minis, of Iowa. on "Reciprocity and the
Tariff" He gave the Iowa idea" a
send-off.
Several of the western delegates pro-
fessed to see much between the lines
of the governors remarks and his
courteous criticism of those who sit
silent while believing in reciprocity.
In addition to the delegates to the con-
gress there was present ut the din
ner last night nearly 200 members of
the Detroit Chamber of Commerce.

procity," in which he presented many
strong arguments in favor of recipro-
cal relation with the dominion.

ELoPEMENT WAS A FAILURE
Man in the Case Took = Panic and Left the
Girl to Get Home
Alone.

Noblesville, Ind. Dec. 11.-Miss Zu-
Iu Chew. daughter of the late Elwood
Chew. who eloped with George John
son, two weeks ago, has returned to
her home at Sheridan. Her mother
received a letter from the daughter
last Sunday, in which she said she
had enough money to get to IndianapO-
lis, and asked her mother to meet her
there. The mother went TO Indianapo-
lis and took her daughter home.
Miss Chew admits that she eloped
with Johnson. They went to CovinS-
ton Ind. and then to small town
in eastern Illinois. The officers were
so close on the trail of the elopers that
Johnson started Miss Chew toward
home and then fled for parts unknown,
to escape arrest on charge of forgery.
The horse and buggy which the couple
used to get to Covington belonged to
Liveryman Perry. 1t has been recov-
cred. Miss Chew says she and John
son were not married.

Estimates Were Much To
FACTS ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION
Lord Cromer's Reason Why the Great
Work Should BE Done.


If. however. the work has been more
expensive than WAS expected. it also
has been done much more quickly than
was considered possible. No fewer
than 10000 IaborerS, 30 per cent. of
them nativc Egyptians. have been en-
gagged on the undertaking during the
greater part of the time. The con-
tract was signed by the Egyptian gov
ernment and John Arid X Co. in Feb
ruary. 1898, and the contrac ctors agreed
TO complete the work in July, 1903.
The reservoir formed by the dams Will
hold l 1865. 100000 cubic meters. or 81
612, lT9000 cubic feet of water.
Perhaps no better statement of what
the Assouan dam is and the reason it
was built can he found than in the
report made by Lord CrOmer. practical
ruler of Egypt. in 1897. This report be-
gan as follows: There can be no doubt
that the most crying want of the coun-
try at present is an increase in the
water supply. For long time 1 have
been constantly hearing complaints of
want of water.
''All competent engineering authOri-
ties are agreed that nearly all that
can be done with the present supply
of Nile water has been accomplished
that the only way to increase the
supply is to store the water; that the
present supply is hardly sufficient for
the land under cultivation and that I'M
less timely measures are taken to in
crease it check will he given the
growing wealth and prosperity of the
country by reason of the imposSibility
of supplying water to the fresh land
which is being brought under cultiva-
ton"
Lord Cromer went on to describe
the work to he done to make a great
reservoir of Nile water. This consist
ed of the Ass6 IAN dam and lock. the
Assouit dam and lock, the Ibrahimieh
canal. regulator and lock and various
subsidiary works. OF these the As
souan dam was by 1ar the most ex-
pensive and important, the other un-
dertakings being comparatively easy
of accomplishment.
1t should be mentioned that the plan
ultimately adopted was somewhat
modified from that at first proposed.
The earlier project would have neces-
