lynehing ruction brought to trial and punishment
 This is why there has been but one lynehing in Alabama this year, while tLere were four last month in Georgia. A lynching bee knows Governor Jelks. and 1t knows that he stands ready to seize the leaders and all the rest who indulge in any such pastime in this state. What can be done in Alabama can be done in Georgia, but it cannot be done on the Terrell plan. Geor- gias governor must turn over new leaf. He might drop in on the govern or of Alabama and find out, between drinks. how to do 1t. It is easy if one has the courage and is not hunting for votes from the lowest grade of the white population.

EIecting Governor in Mississippi

On the sixth of August Mississippi will in state primary select candi- date for governor, and for other off down to "beat" constable, but the contest over the gubernatorial nomina- tion is the most interesting one of the entire series.
 This becomes so because Major Var oaman of Greenwood, taking advan- tage of the Indianola incident and E-hitecapping and like affairs, is ap- pealing to the ignorant and bloodthirs- ty in the state. expecting that passion and prejudice will land him in the new capitol winner To say that he Is an arch demagogue goes without the saying. This is not important. There are demagogues in all states, and perhaps ever will be. The real question relates to the voters of Mis- sissippi--will they prove dupes to the Greenwood schemee
 The Vardaman scheme is in brief an appeal to those who dislike to see the negro educated at all, and who think he should be lynched on every possi- ble occasion. Major Yardaman says the negro should receive the benefit of no school moneys he does not pay into the treasury, and he also says he would gladly assist at a lynching. When pushed on these two points, he says the school proposition must await constitutional changes, and that as an officer he would act differently in lynching cases than he would as an individual. These second thoughts of his simply serve to bring out his dem aEogism. To a certain extent they are evasive but they serve to show what reactionist Major Vardaman is, and how full he is of double dealing and hate and uncalled-for prejudice.
 Mississippi is free from race trou- bles. She is in the hands of her white citizens. The constitution of 1901 covers the ground, and the conserva- tive sentiment of the state is fully sat iSf1ed with the situation. The negro Is no longer a factor in public affairs, and the small proportion of school moneys he draws is not begrudged by the best people of the state. It keeps the negro contented, and the state rarely has enough labor. As for lynchings, they are becoming fewer each year, and the practice will soon be driven out of the state.
 At first it was thought Major Varda- man would sweep the state, but now all good political observers are satis- fled that he will be dropped after the first primary, and the second race will be between Judge Critz and Senator Noel, both of whom are conservative democrats, without bit of demagog- ism or anarchy in their respective make-ups. Vardamanism will be re- pudiated, and Mississippi's prosperity, peace and contentment will come out of the electoral struggle untouched and unchecked.

tination. No "brassesp or checks. as they When the traveller calls for his trunk he must be able to identify the piece to the satisfaction of the officials. This hap hazard system has caused endless worry and confusion. When an article of bag gage is stolen and another substituted there is no way to detect the loss until the owner comes to claim it.
 Efforts are now being made to improve the baggage regulations in England. The damage annually paid to travellers for baggage lost is very heavy and the rail- roads have come to the conclusion that it would be cheaper to introduce some meth cd of checking which will reduce the loss to a minimum.
 The Negro Development and Exposition company of the United States is the latest addition to Afro-Ameriean organiza- tions in this country. The company will be chartered at Richmond, Ba.. with an authorized capital stock of 8, ,0OO, GOO Tor the purpose of arranging an immense ex- hiblt for the Jamestown exposition which will show the progress of the negro since 1865. A large building will probably be erected and each state in the union will exhibits. The presidency of the company has been offered to Booker Washington. If he does not accept John W. Smyth of Hanover. former minister to Liberia. will be given the place. Such movements are steps in the right direction but un- fortunately they seldom materialize. As yet the Development and Exposition com pany is only projected. but If the scheme is successfully carried out it will result in a most interesting exhibit at the James town exposition.
 It is reported that Grand Duke Ernest of Hesse, the brother-in-law of the Czar of Russia. has just sent handsome dona- tion for the relief of the Kishineff suffer- CTS. This reveals an interesting status of affairs and shows that Nicholas and the Russian government do not always think the same way, as there is little doubt that the grand duke made his dona- tion with the full consent and knowledge OA ltle cIdF. u lS dlSO 0iHttu lHdL lH5 action of the Russian government in de- clining to approve of financial assistance from this country was not the real view which Nicholas took of the matter.
 One of the serious drawbacks to the pleasures of Paris is the army of mos- quitoes which has descended upon the city of gladness and Is now making life miserable for many people. The pest is caused by the numerous ornamental pools which dot the city and offer desirable breeding places for the insect. From all parts of this country come wild stories of the ubiquitous mosquito and such tales are accepted without comment, but Paris is such famous place for having good time and moreover is so noted for it's varied beauties that 1t is hard for us to believe that such an earthly and disagree able adjunct to human tribulations can exist there.

0 for the future welfare of servia Is that the new ruler is a vast improvement in some respects over his two predecessors, Milan and Alexander. It is reported that he is not all that a good ruler should be, but in two essen tial particulars he is well equipped. King Peter Is a splendid and well trained sol- dier in addition to being man of marked literary culture. He is a graduate of the military academy of St. Cyr and was an officer of the French army during the Franco -Prussian war both regimental and staff. He served with distinction in the French army and was rewarded with the cross of the Legion of Honor for conspicuous galiantry" on the field of battle
 These qualities of King Peter will have good effect on the cowardly Servian army that has finished all it's battles in complete route and ignominious defeat Both the Turks and the Bulgarians thrashed them without half trying and 1t Is maliciously said that the only feat of arms servian soldiers have ever ac- complished was the bloody assassination of their rulers.
 The work of senseless vandals has aroused much indignation at Athens. It was recently discovered that a party of Germans who visited the Acropolis at an early hour in the morning had clipped off fragments of the Erechtheum and att tempted to carry off the bits of marble Owing to the early hour there were no guards about and the vandals executed their destruction unmolested They were caught however while trying to make their way out. They refused to give up their spells but left their cards behind It is hard to conveive. how people can be so selfish as to destroy a beautiful work of art for the trival pleasure of having memento to show to friends. Souvenirs are not bad things to have if they can be secured without wanton destruction, and in nine cases out of ten this can be done. Especially does the vandal do effective work on masterpieces of sculpture No matter how small a piece is taken a marble figure can be demolished in a day if every sightseer gets away with chip oI the stone.
 The Arctic region is bad place for the man who is fond of the pleasures of his pipe. It is said by sailors who have vis- tied the ice fields of the north that pipe smoked in the open air does not smell like tobacco at all. but like burning rags" The Atmosphere is so rare that smoking has a very disagreeable effect on the palate, and there is scant pleas ure to be derived from the indulgence. However, this does not apply to smoking below the decks and the crews of ships in the lonely arctic seas, which would be indeed unfortunate if deprived of the soothing fumes of the weed
