"THLS is A CERTAINTY"

Discussing mob law the Vicksburg
Herald says:
This is certainty: That every time
the State, in the person of her peace
officers runs away from the mob, the
law is weakened and the spirit of law
lessness strengthened.
Whenever a man, and all the more
State, takes counsel of his fears, de-
feat and humiliation is the result
Concessions to mob is the worst pos.
sible surrender to fear-it always en-
boldens the lynchers. 1t has become
quite the rule to run prisoners who
have committed brutal crimes to
the penitentiary for safe-keeping
1t would be better plan, when there
is menace of overpowering the sheriff
and his posse, to call out sufficient
militia force to guard the jail until
court can be convened and trial held
If the expense of this were placed upon
the county, the effect would be all the
more wholesome. It would bring the
lyncying evil home to the community
that ought of its own manhood and re.
spect for law resist the mob to the
death.
What the Herald so we'll says above
in depreciation of the State, in the per-
son of her peace officers, running away
from mobs is as true as gospel, and
has often occurred to us in connection
with this subject. Every exhibition OF
this kind furnishes occasion for hu.
initiation to all who have right con.
ception of the dignity and duty of a
State, and, as the Herald says, the
spirit of lawlessness is thereby cores
pondingly strengthened.

WATERvALLEY BAPTIsTs.
Endowment Fund of Mississippi
College Completed.


Water Valley, Miss, June 49, DR.. w
j. Lowrey appeared here today in the
interest Of the endowment fund OF
Mississippi College.
The board of directors Of this col
lege determined year ago to raise
it's endowment from SAC, 900 to $100, 900
and DR.. Lowrey was given the task
He at once put himself in communi-
cation with the American Bible Soci
ETY. of New York, to which John D.
Rockefeller contributes largely each
year for the benefit of struggling col
leges, and received the information
that if the Baptists of Mississippi
would raise $45,00 by July l, 1902, the
society would give $4,000. This offer
was accepted and DR.. Lowrey went al
once to work among the 100000 Bap
fists of Mississippi.
Up to his appearance here to-day he
had raised fraction over 100000, and
had but one more day in which tt
complete the full amount. He was
therefore, extremely gratified to have
Water Valley church give the full re-
naming $1,000. Captain z. D. Jen
nings gave $500 of this amount, and
his son, A. E. Jennings, gave $1,000
These are the two largest individual
gifts ever made to the college, with the
exception Of DR.. Balfour's gift o.
5000 previous to the civil war. This
too, is the largest amount given by any
one church in the state so far TOWARD
the endowment fund.

and for safety he has been moved to

others to respite them until Ovens

Sheriff Fox carried Marshall and

to stay in Jail there until the special
term of the Circuit Court is held in
this county in October, and on Mon
day of this week he carried J. J. Boone
to the Brookhaven Jail to await the
action of the Supreme Court in his
case. These removals are made
necessary by reason of the fact that
physicians testify that our Jail is in an
extremely unsanitary condition and to
keep any one there through the sum-

A PRAYER.

l ask not wealth, but power to take,
And use the things have Alright,
Not years, but wisdom that shall make
My life profit and delight.
l ask not that for me the plan
OF good and ill be set aside;
But that the common lot of man
Be nobly borne and glorifed.
l know may not always keep
My steps in places green and sweet,
Nor find the pathway of the deep
A path of safety for my feet.
But pray that when the tempest'S breath
Shall fiercely sweep my way about,
make not shipwreck of my faith
In the unfathomed sea of doubt.
And that though it be mine to know
How hard the stoniest pillow seems,
Good angels still may come and go
About the places of my dreams.
l do not ask for love below,
That friends shall never be eStranged;
But for the power of loving, so
My heart may keep its youth unchanged.
Youth, joy, wealth-Fate, give thee these:
Leave faith and hope till life is past;
And leave my hearts best impulses
Fresh and unfailing to the last.

The Board of Trustees of the Indus

their attorneys, Messrs. Mayes 6 Har-

damus against Auditor Cole to com
pei him to pay over the interest on the
land grant fund, which the Auditor
has heretofore refused to pay upon
the ground that the Legislature made
no appropriation for the interest. The
amount involved is $1,000. Gov.

priation in the college bill, but the

paid under the original act Of Congress
without any legislative appropriation.

TO the Voters of Lincoln County:
In announcing myself as candidate for nomi-
nation as your Representative In the 5Sth Con-
gress, have not taken counsel with my am
bition alone, though l would esteem 1t the
browning hour of my life to again represent
such constituency. From early manhood
have stood, in success or defeat, a Democrat,
knowing no other campfire nor following any
other flag. Nor have ever sulked in my tent,
but have always been ready, at the call of
service, in public or private life to contend for
party and people. If you should again honor
me will tender to you the best service of my
life, giving you all the energy and ability may
be endowed with. Should you prefer another,
whom you may think better qualified, will
accept your verdict and still remain,
Your friend and servant,

Unless the farmers in this section
get rain this week the old corn is a
complete failure. About the only
thing to do, and we hear some of our
farmers speaking of doing this, is to
cut down the old corn and when the
rain comes sow June corn, which will
make good corn if planted even as late
as the first of August, provided the
seasons strike it right. At any rate,
planted almost any time during July
it will more than likely make toll
erably fair crop.-La,rrence County

a Cotton Picking Machine a
Probable Curse.

If cotton picking machine, that is
reliable and effective, is invented, it
will prove curse rather than bless
ing to the South. 1t will rob us of
the only supreme advantage we possess
over the vast areas of genial soil and
climate in Africa, Asia, South and
Central America, and Russia with its
broad sweep of two continents, in the
matter of cotton production that of
having laboring population of both
races, born and reared in it's digital
harvest; who can be relied upon for
the patient and skillful toll incident
to getting in the crop. With harvest
ing machinery we must lose our SUI
premacy which almost amounts to
monopoly, and confront fierce compe-
tition from countries long struggling
for release from foreign dependence,
who would at last find relief from the
dangers and contingencies of the har-
vest season.-Aberdeen EGan1iner.
Possibly the pessimistic views ex-
pressed by the Examiner may prove
true; but similar dark forebodings
we're INDUCED by some when the saw
gin stand was invented for separating
cotton from the seed, instead of the
old slow process by hand, which pre-
viously prevailed. Some even de-
nounced it as an invention of the
devil, through the medium of New
England Yankee, for the industrial I'M
doing of the South, but it did not so
prove. On the contrary, like thou
sands of other inventions, it proved a
blessing and worked a revolution to
the advantage of the Southern cotton
growing industry. A successful cotton
picking machine may do the same
thing, instead of what the Examiner
predicts.
