rlR. BOWERS AND THE PRIMARY
ELECTION LAW.

We note the Hattiesbure Prog
ress and the Biloxi Herald, by in.
,uendo at least, say that Mr.. Bowers
was opposed to the primary cleo
ton law which passed the recent
Legislature. A reference to the
records and to the journals of that
body will disclose the fact that
Mr.. Bowers voted for the bill and
that his vote aided in the passage.
What we presume these papers
refer to is the fact that MIR. Bow
ers, in his capacity as legislator,
saw fit to introduce a bill which
differed in some respects to that
of the Noel bill. The House, sit
ting rs a committee of the whole,
preferred the Noel bill, and Mr..
Bowers, who has always been an
advocate Of primary elections and
an ardent dosircr Of reform and
purity in elections, promptly ac-
cepted tbs substitute and voted
for the Noel bill, advising his
friends who had supported his
measure, to do likewise, which adj
vice they followed with practical
unanimity.
We call attention to the fact
that Mr.. Bowers, who has never
been defeated for any Office to
which he has aspired, has always
been nominated by primary and
has always desired a primary. 1t
is a we'll known fact that when
in the year 1895, he was candi-
date for the Senate, that he and
his friends moved every energy to
secure the calling of primary
throughout the senatorial district
and were successful in their Of
forts. Shortly after that primary
was called, the other candidates
in the field against Mr.. Bowers
withdrew and he had walkover
Anyone who is acquainted with
his record knows that it abund-
antly demonstrates that he has
always been willing and anxious
to submit his claims to the people
and his success has demonstrated
that the people who know him
have abundant confidence him.

ashore-sometimes tons and tons
of dead fish---and upon this the
vultures feed. Along the Missis-
slppi coast carrion IS much more
abundantly found and buzzards
here are nuisance.
"But at Ship Island, where fish
are washed upon the beach the
same as at other places, no birds
of prey ever come. Captain Me-
Call one time saw a buzzard circle
about the island, cross and re-
cross it and finally alight on a long
spar projecting from the sand.
1t remained but a few moments
and never touched soil.

HABIT OF LYING WORKS SELF
INJURY.

At birth, all of us were liars,
more or less. This is because ly-
ing is the diplomatic refuge Of
helplessness. The instant we learn
to know punishment, desire to
escape from it becomes a prime
instinct. Morality, like knowl-
edge, is not hereditary, but at
tained. The child must learn that
lying is a sin and a self-injury,
just as it must learn by being
burnt, to avoid the fire, Until
this lesson is learned, the child,
youth, man will continue to lie.
Many never learn it. Perhaps
pone ever learn it. thoroughly.
shrewdness, but of cowardice and
of shallow cunning that is often
treacherous and tricks the lie into
transparency. But it is not the
danger of being found out by 9th
ers that is most to be dreaded;
far more dreadful is it that the
liar must know himself to be a
liar. His self-respect suffers,-
the leaven in him loses strength
and leaves him dead dough. The
cunning that leads to lying is a
rot that must permeate the whole
character and make a man uncer-
tain of himself. 1t distorts his
perspective, obscures his vision,
and warps his comprehension.
The habit of Misrepresentation
leads to misconception, the iudg-
ment becomes as erratic as the
tongue, and there results the man
who couldn't tell the truth if he
wanted to-" Nothing so shakes
the confidence of ones friends as
known lying does; nothing so
skaters ones own self-confidence
as does lying, whether known to
others or not. The cowardice
that fathers lying increases with
the lie, Fear Of detection joins
with seif-contempt in making the
liar a greater coward than before.
One lie calls for another in its de-
fense. The poet said thus; 80,
what tangled web we weave
when first we practice to deceive. I"
This tangled web makes it all the
harder for the liar to succeed in
even an honest undertaking. His
lies are chain and ball upon his
foot. They are beam in his eye
and a weight on his heart. He
founders along, most Of his en-
ergy being required to overcome
the inlpediment, while the truth
full man easily outstrips him. The
lying cheat in the Vicar Of Wake
field, who was always swindling
everybody, died in jail for debt,
while his honest neighbor, who
was swindled thousand times.
steadily prospered and died rich
and respected. Fiction ,--eh?
we'll, it is immortal as fiction, sim
ply because it is fact, the world
over, all the time.

A LEGEND OF SHIP ISLAND.

81 want to tell you a little le-
gend, /" said a man yesterday, past
the prime of life, who has lived at
Biloxi continuously from birth,
and who has given nautical mat
ters no little study. What / am
about to relate to you will be cor
federated by Capt. Dan Mccall
who was lighthouse keeper at
Ship Island for twenty-four years,
by Peter Clarrisse the present
keeper, by all quarantine officials
who have been stationed there,
by seafaring men who have tray
eled out of this port. The story
may sound unreasonable and
mythical but you can't find a
human being on the globe who
has, since 1899, seen a buzzard or
bird or beast of prey, on Ship Is
land.
"In that year-l699-" went
on the narrator, "a Catholic
priest who came over with Le-
moyne d Iberville, the French
explorer, and landed at Ship Is
land, died, and the remains were
inferred near the center of the is
land. Before his death the priest
prayed God that no buzzard, bird
or beast Of prey should ever dis
turb his bones. 1t was his desire
that buzzards be banished from
the island and never be permitted
to return.
"ADd to this day no one has
seen a buzzard on the Ship Island
soil. The vultures frequent Horn,
Cat and Chandeleur islands, and
can be seen any day on the coast
of the mainland, -four points
which form compass about Ship
Island. On Cat Island, where
stock raising is carried on exten-
sively, butchers complain that 1t is
very hard to raise hogs, because
of wholesale loss of young pigs.
Immediately after birth of swine
buzzards swoop down and pounce
upon the defenseless pigs. AT
Horn Island and the Chandeliers
animal life of the sea is washed

and M. Ephraim as the quack
doctor was faultless. The hypon-
chondriacs, +. Grant. G.. Kelly,
were funny beyond words to des-
cribe. I. Uhlhorn also won APP
plause as Mr.. Fltsfggins.
The singing this year added
greatly to the entertainment. The
Choral Uuion has been one of the
features of the college this session
and showed its fine training by
Tuesday nights effort. At the close
of the entertainment the brass
band struck up Home, Sweet
Home" and all the pentup feel
ings of the college youths who
have been at hard study for ten
long months burst forth into one
terrific cheer, which made the old
college walls to rock and the Mis-
sissippi piny woods to echo and
re-echo again with the gladstone
sound.

Bowers Is the Man.
Mount Olive Tribune, June soth.

Mount Olive Tribune, June 2oth.
For some time we have been in
yestigating the merits of the three
candidates for Congress, the quail
iiications, the fitness for the place.
And the question ran through our
mind:-Shall we support Hardy
for what he has done, because his
lIfe, even at the longest, is almost
spent, because he took an active
part in the promotion of the Gulf
& Ship Island railroad, which
would have been built if the Cap
tain had never lived2
Or, shall VIC support Barber be-
cause he is a young man III the
prime of life, seeking, aSit seems
to be, prominence in the minds of
the common people, because he
was defeated for lieutenant gov
ernor at one time, because he says
he knows he is qualified to fill the
honored place?
Or, shall we support Bowers
because he is the man Of our
own heart, a man of influence and
personal magnetism. A man who
is firm and strong in executive
ability. A man wise in counsel,
shrewd and swift in business and
political matters, man who has
the gift of speech and the power
Of mind to command the respect
and admiration of any assemblage
Of people, a man who will repre-
sent not only the people of the
Sixth District, but the entire State
in the material development and
progress of its resources. Born
With the heart of a Washington,
gifted with the eloquence Of a
Webster and clad in the armor Of
the States rights, Hon. E. j.

name of the Sixth District in the
National Halls ~ ~. = r, 49,. .sAi ,ts .as

BAY ST. LOUIS MORTAL.
Second Week. Something Of the Fa-
Guilty and the Splendid Work
Being Accomplished.

The first Normal ever held on
the Coast was at Biloxi three
years ago. That was such a sue
cess that Prof. w. w. Stockstill
superintendent of education in
this county, determined that Han
cock county also deserved the good
influences that cmanato from a
normal. Under his suggestion
the Bay subscribed literally to the
project and as a result we have
about seventy-five teachers from
all over the State now in our
midst. Many of them say it is
the best normal they have ever at
tended. In proportion to the
number of teachers in the coun-
ty. of locatinn, it will iindnnhted-
ly be the largest normal in the
State.
1t Is d hard-working normal,
though the teachers cannot but
receive benefit Of the gulf bree zes
and other attractions of beauti-
full Bay st. Louis. Prof. T. l..
Trawick, the director, is perhaps
the best known school superinten-
dent in Mississippi. He is gra-
duate of the University of Virgin
ia. His school at Crystal Springs
is a model for modern education.
He has organized the normal as
effectively as q small army, be-
sides giving lectures on pedagogy
and mental arithmetic in his own
happy and instructive style.
Prof. Leslie E. Partridge, of
Biloxi, is teacher of no mean
ability, having been called TO nor
NAL work in former years. He
received his education at Marion,
Ala, and at Clinton, Miss. His
lectures on elementary grammar
and civil government show thor
ough conyersance with these sub
jects.
DR.. Fl. A. Muckenfuss, of Mill
saps College, jackson, is a gradu-
ate of John Hopkins University,
and has attended several other in
stitutions, both at home and
abroad. He teaches physics and
physiology in the normal. He has
on exhibition and for demonstra-
ton several charts and much ap-
paratus brought down from Jack
son. His classes, like the others,
are largely attended.
Miss Mary A. Cook is from
Texas, in which State she achiev-
ed fame as a primary instructor.
Her work attracted the attention
of State Superintendent Whitfield
SO much that he appointed her to
this department here. She has a
model class of Bay st. Louis chill
dren, and many attractive devices
to interest them. The general
public ought to attend the classes
of this department.
Nfro. Il. nj. Baker, or Natohez,
is one of the best known and most
successful of Mississippi's lady
teachers. She is in charge Of
fourth and fifth grade work and
practical art hmetic. She knows
thoroughly how to develop inter-
est.
Miss Blanche Williams, of
Staunton College, q graduate of
the /. /. & O., and is a pronounc-
ed specialist in English and litera-
ture. 1t is needless to say that
she handles these subjects at the
normal in the most approved
method. The teachers find much
instruction In her classes, winch
they attend regularly.
Miss l.. K. Hawkins, of Hicko-
ry, will teach in Gulfport next
year. She will need no introduce
tion to this coast, after her splen-
did work in the normal. She
teaches Mississippi History and
primary physiology, subjects for
which she is fully prepared.
