MONEYS FIGHT
A CHIEF TOPIC
A LARGE CROWD WILL At
TEND TRIAL.
SYMPATHY FOR SENATOR
All the Members of the MissiSSip-
pi Delegation Are Siding
with Him.

Washington. April %. The encoun-
ter between Senator Money, of Mis-.
sissippi, and the street car conductor
has been the chief topic of interest in
Washington during the past few days.
The Senator is not suffering to any
great extent from the blows alleged
to have been struck by the conduc-
tor, and the wound received by the
latter in attempting to gain posses
sion of tho Senator's knife was only
of superficial character. The case
is likely to be aired in the Police
Court next Thursday, and will be
sure to attract large crowd of peo-
pie. When the case was called Fri
day last there was big crowu pre-
sent, but there was very little to sat
isfy he curiosity of those gathered.
Senator Money announces that he
will push the case to the utmost
against his assailants, ana will use
every endeavor to have them properly
punished. In ADDITION TO bringing
them into court, he is seepking to
have the conductor. fireman, and Cap
itol policeman, whom the Senator
oil alleges took the part of the other
two against him. removed from their
positions. Before this is done, how
ever, in all cases there will be the
most thorough investigation.
The members OF the Mississippi dele
CATION are evincing much interest in
the case of Senator Money. Without
exception the members of the delega-
tion seem to side with the Senator in
his controversy. Several of the mem
bers were in the court room Friday
when the case was called up.
Senator Money has decided not TO
file charges against Capitol Policeman
M urphy who refused to make arrests
during the encounter last Thursday
when he was so brutally treated by a
street car conductor and a fireman.

COTTON FACTORIES
Several Stock Companies Being
Organized in rlississippi.

jackson, Miss, April 2S.-Local
capitalists arc busily engaged at sew
eral places in Mississippi organizing
stock companies to build cotton fac
tories.
At Magnolia good portion of the
necessary capital stock has been sub
scribed, and outside capitalists will be
asked to furnish the balance. Port
Gibson citizens are again agitating the
cotton mill question with fair pros
poets of success. The stockholders of
the proposed mlllat Aberdeen have is
sued call for five per cent of the
stock on the firgt of September and
hope to commence construction at that
time.
Eupora is endeavoring to get cot
ton oil mill, believing that 1t will
pay bigger dividends than cotton
factory. Shubuta has already organiz-
ed an oil mill company and elected q
board of directors. This enterprising
little town has also organized a new
bank with capital stock of S25, 900.
Columbus has added another sub
stantial enterprise to her manufaotur-
ing industries in the shape of factory
which will turn out comforts bags,
pads, pads, boxes, etc., and the con-
Germ will start business with a capital
stock of $40, 600.
The period of industrial activity is
being felt throughout the state, and
in almost every community wage earn
ing enterprises are being launched.

Death of John Mason.

near Prices Branch, Montgomery
county, Mo-, March Srd, 1884 and
died July nth, 1902.
He was the oldest living son of
John w. and jamie Mason. He
was converted and became a mem-
Der of the Missionary Baptist
church at Zion in November 1901,
and had lived true to his profession
with christian faith until his death.
His last illness was only Of few
days duration, during which time
he gave his parents and friends ev-
cry assurance that he was prepared
TO meet death, and II his maker so
willed, he was ready to go. II Is
indeed sad that one SO young and
full OF hope should be taken away
from parents and friends; yet It Is
true that the last word written at
the close Of the history Of every
life is Death" Here II Is that
chickering's cease; strife, cnvyings
and jealousics vanish; dogmas,
differences and crceds fade away,
end as the earth rccedes, and the
stormy avalanche Of the night Of
death approaches, there once for
all meet all the teeming nations
around the same table to drink the
same cup, and enter the same gate
way to the boundlcss beyond. II
there Is one thing we. could wish,
II Is that when our time comes to
cross the dark river, II may be with
loving friends around US, holding
the hands OF those we love, and
those who love us.
II has been said, "mcn fear death
as children fear to go out into the
dark" yet there Is that which Is
stranger than the fear OF death. 1t
Is love for those whom We love,
and the love OF those who love us.
AS we stood at the grave, n
thought come to us--docs death
end all? II n man die shall he live
again is n question that has ever
been answered In the Affirmative.
In this answer all may find solace
and comfort. The deceased was n
bright and intelligent young man.
He was the pride OF the home In
which he lived, and numbered his
friends by his acquaintances. He
leaves besides his father and moth
er one brother James and five sis
tcrs: Maude Mrs. Ham Grigg),
Ehic, Dora, Sallie and Zelma.
His remains were followed to
their last resting place by the grief
stricken family and n large con-
course of sorrowing friends.
Many flowers were placed upon
the grave as token OF the esteem
and love In which he was held in
the community where he lived.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. James l.. Reed of St.
Charles, at Pin Oak church, after
which the remains were laid to rest
in the cemetery by the side OF his
little brother and sister that had
long since preceded him. This re-
minds US that we too must soon be
cut down by the all devouring
scythe of time, and be gathered
into the land where our fathers
have gone before.
Then let us
Live for those who love us,
For those whose hearts are true,
For the heaven that smiles above us
And the good that we may do.
