CIRCUIT COURT DOlNGS
Some Of the Cases Disposed OF the First
of the Week.

Circuit court convened here
Monday with quite large crowd
in attendance, although there
we're no cases of special interest
to come before it.
In his charge to the grand jury
Judge Lowrey called attention to
the necessity of each member
keeping the jury's business
strictly secret, as the ends of
justice were very often defeated
because those guilty of criminal
acts learn that their cases are
being investigated and escape.
This, he said, was often the case
in border counties where it was
SO easy to reach another state.
The grand jury selected is as
follows: Hugh Foster, foreman,
Spaight Summers, j. NJ. Darby,
S. w. Cross, G. Fl. Greer, j. B.
Hudson. Gus Davis, w. w. Pow
ell. j. r. Brewer, P. e. Nelms,

NOEL AND VARDAMAN
Candidates for Governor Visit
DeSoto County.
BOTH SPOKE HERE TUESDAY
Discussed State and National Issues of
Public Interest. speeches Were
Well Received.

Major Jas. K. Vardaman, of
Greenwood, and Hon. L. F. Noel,
of Lexington, candidates for gov
ernor, addressed attentive au-
diences here Tuesday forenoon
and afternoon, in the court house.
Mr.. Noel spoke first. His
speech in the main was devoted
to the proposition to divide the
public school funds between the
whites and blacks. He said in
effect that he believed the pres
ent plan as just and equitable as
any that could be, devised, that
the laws now governing the dis
trlbution of the school funds were
the result OF the patient and pro-
found study of some of the states
wisest men, that the white schools
drew the great bulk of the pub
lie school money and white men
al all times had control Of it.
He stated that if a law was ever
passed providing for a division
of the school funds in the man
ner proposed it could not stand
the test of the federal constitu-
tion us it would discriminate be-
tween the races.
He referred briefly to the great
industrial progress of che state,
and quoted figures showing how
it had increased in wealth during
the past few years.
Concluding he said he would be
grateful for whatever support
was extended him, but that he
did not desire the vote of any one
who did not believe he would dis
charge the duties incumbent upon
him, if elected, in a manner that
would be credit to himself and
would meet with the approval of
the citizens of the common
wealth. He spoke of the friendly
relations existing between him
and the other aspirants and ex-
pressed a wish that they would
continue so.
His speech was well received by
those present.
Major Vardaman addressed
fair audience in the afternoon for
nearly two hours and fully sus-
tanned his reputation as a fluent
and forceful orator. In sthe be-
ginning of his speech he referred
to the criticism from some quar-
ters Of the candidates occupying
the time of courts and said that
it was proper and nes sssary that
the momentous problems that
affect the lives OF every indivi-
dual through the national life |
should be studied and discussed;
that the proper performance OF
the functions Of the courts them
selves depended upon the intelli-
gent understanding of great
of public policy.
Touching upon national issues,
be said he believed that the gray
est question now before the
American people " imperial

vert our present fors of govern
nent and wreck our IDEALS.
Major Vardaman devoted a
part Of his speech

public school funds between the
aces. He said, in substance that

Biz Stock Feeder.

The Hon. David Rankin, who owns
fourteen farms in Iowa and Missouri,
embracing over 10000 acres, was
among the big stockmen in Chicago
recently. He had in a trainload Of 280
corn.fed Western cattle, being part
Of 1900 head fed this year. He has
only about 1900 back, whereas IN
other years be usllly has over 5000 on
feed at this season of year. Besides
feeding 11,0O0 cattle he handled be-
tween 10, 900 aud 10000 hogs, most OF
which he raised himself. Mr. Rankin
says it takes considerable nerve to feed
cattle nowadays, with the price OF feed
advancing and the outlook of the corn
crop and future cattle market as un-
certain as at present, yet he - of the
opinion that good cattle will continue
high. Last year he had $4,000 acres
of corn, which averaged thirty-6ve
bushels to the acre, and this year has
in $4,000 acres, which from present
indications points to = much larger
yield than last year. Last Monday he
sold cattle at Chicago at 81. rs, which
he regarded as SOC lower than some be
sold here in 1882, when cattle we're so
high. Mr. Rankin said when his feed
ing season was at its height this year
he fed at the rate of 800 worth of feed
an hour. His cattle last Wednesday
sold at 1885, for 1853 head averaging
1928 lbs, and 81 80 for 122 head
averaging 1927 lbs. -Droyers' Journal.

The above covers in a general way
the trans-continental portion Of the
Denver & Rio Grande and the Rio
Graude Western, but it must be re-
membcred that this is but a part Of
the entire system. For instance, the
line from Pueblo over beautiful La
Veta Pass, via the magnificent Toltec
Gorge to Durango, and through the
picturesque Auimas Canon to Silver
ton, affords one Of the graudest trips
on the continent. This, in nnec
ton with the Silverton Railroad and the
Ouray stage line, or with the Rio
Grande Southern Railroad from Du-
range to Ridgway, forms the cele-
brated ssAround the Circle'' trip, the

Of the Mexico Ledger, must be added
to the list. A Mexico man who did

papers, diedl asst week. A long obituary
Of him was sent TO The Ledger. White

loving explanation of his action in his

believe that the local paper should be
supported. We are sorry he IS dead.
We are also sorry that we have not

Late Literary News.

1t is not often that one fluids a love-
story which is absolutely satisfactory,
and a fine loye-story ending in renun-
citation is a still rarer thing. Such,
however, is ''Broken Toys with its

noble love and tragic remuneration
Another story which will interest read
ers of the August Cosmopolitan is
"The Soul of Mozart" which centers
in the theme of transmlgration OF souls,
a problem fascinating even to the an

This story is being told on Governor
Dockery: A few days ago he started
to walk from the executive mansion to
a hotel in Jefferson City. On the way
he passed two lemonade stands which
had been started up by youthful resi-
dents of the capital. He paused to OBJ
serve them more particularly and the
boys began vehemently to solicit his
trade. One informed him that his
lemonade was 5 cents a glass, the
other that his was only 3 cents. The
governor, thinking to give them an
object lesson in both business and pol
ltics, bought a glass of the Scent decoc-
ton. After winklng and wiping his
w~hiskers, he made a few remarks about
the advantages Of competition and then
asked: SHOW, Johnny, why is it that
you charge 5 cents for yosr lemonade,
while Tommy charges only 9P Tommy
did not wait for Johnny to reply, but
