PRICE TAGS ON CLOTHES.
A Peculiar Custom Which Would
 Seem Suited to Some Americans.

A peculiar custom of the peasantry in remote parts of Italy according to cor respondent. is the wearing of price tags on new dresses and suits of clothes. While in most countries the custom ob- tains of promptly removing such indica- tion of the purchase the moment a gar ment Is bought, the rural folk of Italy take pains to sew them on the more se- curely. in order that they may not drop off accidentally. The practice is induleed in by the more prosperous peasantry, cor responding to the well-to-do farmer class of this country.
 The observer of social conditions may we'll ask why this custom of wearing price marks on clothes has not found favor in this country. where ostentation on the part of our new rich runs riot writes Robert Webster Jones in the June Housekeeper. Many a woman of wealth is heard to complain that her maid ser want. on much smaller outlay, by wear ing cheap but almost perfect limitations of the original, can present as fashion able appearance as herself. The plush garment of modish design often looks as well as the sealskin costing ten times as much; paste ornaments cannot be told from diamonds except by an expert. Com plaint of the same character is made by the man who patronizes an expensive tailor. The great improvements effected by the manufacturers of ready made clothing have made 1t possible for the $10 a-week clerk to appear as well dress ed as his $1 o0O- week employer All this is. of course, most distressing to the per- son who wishes to get the worth of his or her money. What is the use of wear ing expensive clothes If ones neighbors do not appreciate them? The universal wearing of price tags would remove this difficulty, and the woman with a new S1o0 gown or $50 hat would derive twice the satisfaction from wearing them that she does at present; that is. provided her neighbors were wearing nothing better One danger. to be sure. would be the In- centive to prevaricatloR; 1t would be So easy to change the figures But any thing would be better than running the risk, as at present, of having a new s1O0 gown mistaken for last years make. over "

KANSAS CITY lovers of fine eat ing apples are fortunate this year in living in close proximity to the Big Red Apple belt of the west, says the Kansas City Star. Ap- ples grown here -abouts were never of better quality than the offerings now being taken out of cold storage. The crop was not so large as is some previous years, but the fruit is large sized, fair skinned and finely favored. The comparison between Missouri apples and those grown in the east gives a distinct advantage to the former. New York state produced a large crop of apples last fall, but the quality was un- commonly poor. As a result New Workers are securing their best offerings from the west, while Missourians are well con- tent to eat their own fruit.

THERE is no nation in the world that appears to have more gen. erous rich men than the United States. The most of the promi- nent ones are the architects of their own fortunes. They made their first money by hard work :, self sacrifice and close applica- ton, while thousands of others more favorably situated, who are now poor, were spending their earnings as fast as they made them, and they or their decend- ants are crying out against the 'plutocrats" who are now en. dowing colleges, establishing hospitals and libraries, and ex- pending their wealth for the amelioration and comfort of those less favorably situated, OF who never had their opportunities, or threw them away when presented. A good deal of their beneficence may not do much in the eyes of some people, but it all helps somebody.

MosT people know that the only way to get rich is to spend less than they earn, but they will not obey the necessary injunc- tions by any self-denial of their own. What they would like to find out is how to wear fine clothes and smoke the best cigars, and still have plenty of pocket money for little luxuries and frequent holidays. "Flowery beds of ease" are what they are after. Unless a "windfall' suddenly comes they will have to continue poor and be deeper in debt this week than they were last.

Mississippi's Governor.

I'm another column we print a
letter from a well-informed Missis-
sippian, replying to certain criticisms
passed upon Governor Longino of that
State. We give place to the letter
all the more cheerfully because OF the
honorable and progressive administra-
tion which Governor Longino is Civ
ing to his State and for the high
minded patriotism that we discover
in the spirit of his deeds. -
The above editorial is from the
Atlanta Constitution, one OF the lead
ing and ablest Democratic papers in
the South. The communication re-
ferred to is from H. F. Sanderson,
of Carthage, Miss: an extract OF
which will be found elsewhere in the
SENTINEL. 1t is a reply to the
foolish and unwarranted remarks of
Bill Arp in refrence to Gov. Longino.
The complimentary article above
shows conclusively that the Consti-
tuition does not endorse Bill Arps'
letter, but rather sets down on him
with thud. \

Bill Arps Query Answered.-"Hho is
Gov. Lon9ino?''

''Our good old friend, Bill Arp,
wants to know who Longino is. Well |
1 will answer him by saying he is the
best governor Mississippi ever had,
and if Mississippi affairs had always
been managed as we'll as Longino has
managed them there would be no re-
pudiation history for him and Rose
velt to write about. Future genera
tions will always look with pride to
the t!nae when Longino was governor.
We have as fine capitol as any state
in the Union. Our public institu-
tions are the best to be had, and our
State has the smallest debt it has
had since the war. Longino is no
follower Of the doctrines of Con-
fucious; he has no pedigree, SO far as
I know, to recommend him to the
favor of those who think our great
men should Spring from the ranks of
the post-bellum aristocracy. He is a
plain man who has risen on his
merits from the ranks of the poor,
plain people of Mississippi. Two of
his brothers fell in defense of the
Confederacy and one sleeps in an un'
known grave.
The charges made against LonginC
are nothing but political claptrar
Matched up to defeat a man against
: whom nothing can be said truthful]y
to his discredit. No one who doe!
:. not know the facts should unwilling
ly lend his aid to set of politica
, shysters, who circulate campaign
yarns with a view of prejudicinl
ignorant people against man of pur
life in every respect, and an homes
y conscientious public servant. w

LONGING AND MONEY MEET
AT GREENWOOD,
And Money is Criticised for His
Abuse of the Governor.
pec,al to Vicksburg Americana

Special to VickSDurg AmerlcAn.I
GREENWOOD, MISS, June 30th.-
Sen. Money and Gov. Longino and
number Of state candidates addressed |
the citizens of Leflore and adjoining |
counties here yesterday. A large |
crowd was present. and close attention |
was given to the various candidates.
Special interest was centered on Sen.
Money and Gov. LOnginO, who had
not met since early in the campaign,
before the political pot begun to boil.
At IL O'Clock the candidates for state
and district offices made their an
nouncements. Following this, Hon.
A. F. Gardner, in a complimentary
speech introduced Sen. Money, who
for over two hours spoke, not in the
interest of his candidacy, but in a
bitter assault upon his opponent; his
language at times being more like the
| rawlings of mad school boy than that
of United States Senator. In fact,
from beginnieg to end, it was a TRADE
of abuse unbecoming a man occupying
his position, and it was plainly seen
on the countenance of the fair minded
that it was absolutely disgusting to
them. When Sen. Money had con-
cluded, a recess Of one hour was taken
for luncheon which was served by the
ladies of the various churches. On
reconvening, Hon. Monroe McClurg in
troduced Gov. Longino, who, after
sarcastically refuting and proving tC
the audience that Sen. Moneys state.
ments about him were not true anC
were without foundation, and that
the angry attack which the Senator
had made upon him was not justified
proceeded to deliver Statesmanlikt
address which was heartily applaudee
from beginning to end. Throughou1
the day, Gov. Longino, unlike Sen
Money, did not show any sign of anger
which was favorably commented upol
by the audience.
Sen. Money followed in a rejoinde
, of As minutes and was even more bit
ter than at first in his Determinations
At the conclusion of the storm .
abuse, Gov. Longino arose and sai'
he could not insult the intelligence Q
4 the audience by asking them to re
> main longer to hear him, besides, h
said he would not condeScend to stoO
to reply further to Sen. Moneys viii
vauntings. In this he was roundl
. applauded, and it was evident tina
i Gov. Longino had gotten by far, tn
best of his opponent. Indeed man
Il of Sen. Moneys supporters were yer
much displeased with the results {
the day, and some of them were hear
4 to express themselves quite freel
l. about the bad Judgment he ha
- exercised.

u concluded the program for the day b
y a speech in the interest of his Cal
didacy.
