The management OF our State pen
itentiarr undoubtedly needs renovat-
ing and changes made in more than
one quarter. In 1898 enc Tom Gar
ner was sent up from Pike county
for life-having been convicted OF the
murder of Scott Causey and wife.
Now 1t appears that this double-dyed
murderer escaped from one of the
State farms and was at large for one
month before the Governor was mo-
tilted of the fact; and then his atten-
ton was directed to the matter by q
private citizen, the Hon. N. G.. Bon
ney, editor OF the Summit Sentinel
Carelessness, neglect, nor oversight
can account for such an occurrence;
nothing but downright corruption
can! With the system now in vogue
on these farms Of calling the prison
roll at least once 0 day and checking
up all prisoners, it is out of the aues-
ton to claim his escape was over
locked. Corruption-money-is the
only thing to account for Missis-
sippi convict being at large thirty
days and no report being made of II.
Il is certainly time for the peniten-
tiary management to be taught a
lesson, and the job j. up to Gov.
Longino.

So far as we are aware the vote
polled at the recent congressional
election is the lightest ever cast IN
this State. While it is true the peo-
pie only had congressman to vote
for, yet it does seem that the three
proposed amendments submitted to
them would have mustered out a
larger force. To show how little in
terest was felt in the 60 counties so
far heard from, only Is, 436 votes
were cast for congressman; and as
for the three would-be amendments,
they were defeated, to the following
tune: Amendment No. received
6, $50 votes, lacking ], 229 of having
the required majority of the con
gressianal vote: amendment No. 2
received 6,926, lacking l,292 of pass
ing; while No. 3 received 1875, fall
ing short of the required majority

THE Roosevelt r <LONGL
NO, EFT AL. BEAR
HUNT.

kilograms from Washington say
President Roosevelt left there Tues
day ON special train, with his pri-
vate secretary and Pres Fish, of the
Illinois Central r. r.. for trip to
the South. After making stops at
Louisville and Memphis, they viii
proceed to a hunting camp estab-
lished near Smead. in Sharkey coun-
ty, this State, where they will be
the guests of Gov Longino, of Mis-
sissippi, Gov Davis, of Arkansas,
and Gov. Heard, of Louisiana.
AS previously stated, the object of
this visit to the Mississippi Swamps
is to hunt bear. 1t is said negro
over in those parts, by the name OF
Hoke Collier, is the happy possessor
of pack of the best bear dogs to be
found anywhere, and, in order to en-
nance the Presidents pleasure in the
chase, this negro, together with his
dogs, has been retained.
1t is to be hoped these distinguish
ed gentlemen viii, each and all, have
most enjoyable time. But you know
our President has a prediiection for
the society of the white man S bur-
den,' and especially is this true
about dinner time. Now it is well
known rule that the host must al
ways do all in his power to cause his
guests to pass a pleasant time; this
being true, suppose the President
says to the Governors of Mississippi
and the other two States that he
cannot enjoy his bear steak unless he
has 'Hoke" seated at his right elbow
while masticating it,-what will the
three Governors and Southern gen.
tlemen do about it? Evidently, if
they carry out the doctrine incul-
Gated at their fathers house when
they were boys of making every Wis
itor enjoy himself to the uttermost,
they viii be forced to invite Hoke .
to take seat by his friend the Pres
ident OF the United States. Or should
their guest prove too modest, and
we all know Mr.. Roosevelt is very
modest gentleman, to express his
desire in words, and if these gentle
men have cause to believe from the
expression OF his eye or from his de-
meanor, that he is not thoroughly
enjoying '.old Bruin,'' and they can
surmise the reason therefor,-invok-
ing that same rule, it viii be their
duty to place Hoke by the side of his
friend, even though they have to
hold their own olfactory organs dur
ing the process
But these conjectures are, of course,
idle, as the gentlemen in question
were aware of the one thing which
their guest loved best before receiv-
ing him, and doubtless have made
arrangements for his full gratifi-
cation
We do not wish to beAisagreeable,
so we viii say nothing about it, but
if we did, we could qbote that old
saying that man is no better than
the company he keeps. Verify
we have come upon sttange times.

A mania for writing obscene let
tiers seems to be abroad in the land.
Especially is this true in what is
called the "bost circles OF Jackson s
society, which now stands appalled,
at the supposed perfdy Of one Of its
members; who, this time, proves to
be a young man, of former good stand
ing and bearing one Of the most hon
ored names in the State, or, indeed,
throughout the South.
The party in question is Mr.. G. c.
Campbell, holding an important po-
sition in the Auditors Office, the son
Of ex-Chief Justice Campbell, OF our
Supreme Court, citizen OF purity, a
lawyer of distinction. and jurist
whose superior has seldom, if ever,
sat upon the bench Of Mississippi.
Yet "the cowl does not make the
monk" neither does a good family
always produce good members. In
spiritual things it is said "a good
tree cannot bring forth corrupt
fruit but, however true this may
be in its correct application, it does
not hold good in modern society. On
the contrary we frequently see those
who have enjoyed the best possible
advantages, both as to family and
surroundings, doing the most UNI
gentlemanly and unbecoming things.
Indeed it would seem that the young
err generation belonging to old aud
refined families, are, not infrequent-
w.. the offenders il this respect; and
the time has come when those who
so far forget their sclf-respect as to
sin against the laws of the land and
of society, should be punished prompt
ly and most severely, whatever set
or circle they may be members OF.
And more especially is this true
where the offender has enjoyed the
advantages Of education and good
parentage.
The young nan in question has
had these without stint or limit, yet
he stands charged, by a Federal
grand jury, with one of the vilest,
most cowardly acts of which man
could possibly be guilty. What could
be meaner or more degrading than
Offering insult to a pure, refined and
unprotected young lady? 1t staggers
the mind of every Southern gentle
man. and does violence to his most
sacred tenet, i. e.-that every man
is the protector of unprotected wo-
manhood, whoever and wherever it
may be; and it is sorry day for any
State when any proportion OF its men
repudiate and hold at naught this
doctrine.
Southern chivalry Is not a myth,
and, by Gods blessing, never will
be; and, so long as it exists, the In
suffer of womanly purity and inno-
cence viii meet the punishment and
the contempt which he so justly
merits TT * bod enough for< old
maids i to give yent-te their-sPite
and venom by means of vile let
tiers, but it cannot and will not
be endured in any creature in the
guise of man.
We do not pretend to pass upon
the guilt or innocence OF Mr.. Camp
bell He has only been indicted, and
is entitled to the benefit of every
doubt till his guilt is proved. But
should this be established, it is to
be hoped he will receive the full pen
atty of the law; and thus he, and all
his ilk, be taught that woman is to
be respected, and that she may work
for her living and be lady, for all
that. That that Federal district
viii muster jury to enforce this
principle, we have no doubt.
