RATHER BURN HIS MONEY.

Money to burn is a phrase that
one is likely to regard as belonging tc
modern slang, and Of recent origin
| buC II was used more than % years
ago. with a slightly different meaning.
by a farmer living in Western New
Hampshire.
This man-whO may be called
Smith, as that happened to be his
name-Was sued for a debt which he
declared he did not owe. and he con
tested the charge hotly, but neverthe-
less judgment was found against aim.
Smith said the evidence was false
and vowed he would never pay the
amount. AS the law at that time
allowed Imprisonment for debt, he
moved over the line into Vermont to
escape Arrest.
Now Mr.. Smith had always prided
himself upon being an honest, law
abiding citizen. who paid his taxes
and owed no man penny. and the in
Justice Of the action against him rank
led in his soul. He wished to show
his utter contempt for the decree ana
the court that had made such trav
esty of justice, and to CutWit its Of
fceTs in their efforts to take him into
custody. SO every Sunday old Smith
crossed over the Connecticut river
from Vermont and paid a visit TO his
old neighbor. Abner Grain. He made
10 secret of his coming, secure in the
knowledge that the law could not
touch him on Sunday, and he took
g0Od care TO get back before the hour
which ushered in the legal weekdays.
After dinner Mr. Grain and he used
TO take a stroll about the place to look
at the crops, and then settle them
selves comfortably in chairs on the
sandy porch and take out their pipes
for a quiet smoke This was Smiths
laDpiest moment. Reaching down
inc his trcuser pocket, he pulled out
4 big roll Of 6anknotes and peeled one
ont CT the bunch LeisUrely folding
the note erg,hwise into spill, -
would then reach over and light i Q
he pipe Mr. Grain was already puc
dng. and, as he applied the burnil&
paper to his own. he would remark
n complacen. tones between puffs:
I've got mC1ey 70 burn, neighh0r;
none to burn; but III never pav

There is said to be considerable
demand for nickel-steel rails, which

This country has its eyes on the
Mississippi river. The water has
reached that stage where there is
danger of an overflow which means
the destruction of thousands of dol
lars worth of property besides cutting
short the next crop. Still there is
hope that the levees will stand the
pressure and an overflow will be
averted False reports are Sent out
every day, keeping the people in a
fever beat of excitement. According
to these reports thousands of acres Of
land are inundated, but the fact is no
levee up to yesterday had broken be-
tween Vicksburg aud New Orleans
and will stand more water yet. The
New Orleans papers, which can al
ways be found reliable on matters of
this kind, have men on the ground
and will report the first break.

1t is not doing justice for some of
the papers which are either support
ing Vardaman or Fox to assert that
Noel, and Critz are mot III it. F"
These are prominent gentlemen and
have a strong following. Either
would make as good governor as either
of the other two and not the least re-
Fiction should be cast upon them. In
fact if one of them should. come out
ahead there would be no room for sur
prise. A paper can have its choice
and is expected to support its candi-
date, but not at the expense of another
candidate. All should be treated with
the highest respect, for all of them
are highly respectable gentlemen and
have often served the state in high
positions.

THE BACKBONE BROKEN.

Circuit court is now in session in
Amite county and the grand jury is
investigating the whitecapping which
for the past few months has SO greatly
terrorized the negroes, causing many
of them to leave and seek employment
elsewhere.
The whitecapping law is very strict
and positive and the man who vio-
lates the law is very apt to go to the
penitentiary for long term. This
unlawful act does not only terrify the
negroes, but in many cases runs them
out of the county or neighborhood and
the farmers are unable to secure labor
with which TO make their crops and
thus they are the main losers.
A great number of negroes of
Amite, Lincoln and Franklin counties
left on account of the threats of the
whitecappers and now the farmers of

A wonderful time saving admission
system has been planned for the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis. Auto
matically registering turnstiles will
be used for the first time at any expo
sition. Each turnstile will be con-
nected by underground electric wires
with correspondent dial in central
office. Every admission through a
turnstile will be registered simulta-
neously on the dial. The dials in the
central Office will keep running
record of admissions, giving at any
minute of the day the exact number OF
persons that have passed through the
gate. At night the adding machine
will cast up the totals in less than
five minutes.

The New Orleans Picayune OF
Yesterday was sure mad. 1t had been
reported all over Texas and parts OF this
states that New Orleans was under
several feet of water, the levees hav-
ing broken, and that the river was
rapidly rising. The old Pic. de-
nounced the report as an unmitigated
falsehood and declared very emphati-
cally that not levee had given way
or threatening seriously to break be-
tween Vicksburg and New Orleans.
The Picayune should remember that
when a lie gets the start it can never
be overtaken by the truth and it mat
tiers not whether it is an overflow lie
or yellow fever lie.

E. D. Morgan. the New York banker
and member of the racing commission, has
increased his offer to $25O00 for the blind
trotting stallion Rhythmic (2:0S), but. Jesse
Turney Of Paris, KY, the owner of the
champion moneywinning trotter Of 1902,
still declines to sell or even name a price
he would take for the great stallion When
aswed at what figure he really valued
rhythmic, Turney said: .f''Well, I think my
horse is: worth as much as any trotter or
PAGER alive, and you know they say Dan
Patch sold for O,00O.' =.
The scarcity of sensational trotting ma
terial on the market this season in Ken
lucky is a matter of general comment, as
not even in the boom times Of a decade
ago were trotters so high as now, and
a real good horse stallion, mare, colt, gel

money to-day than ever before in the his
tory Of the light-harness horses.
