A Political Flop.

The Biloxi Herald lost one of
the ablest writer's in the state
when Col. FL. S.. Evans vacated
the editorial chair. We have not
learned why Col. Evans left, the
Herald, but as he was warm
supporter of Senator Money and
the Herald wanted to flop to Lon,
.gino and the inference is that he
threw up his job rather than
write editorial that were contrary
to his honest convictions. Ocean
Springs Progress.
And this flop in the face of the
fact that it was by Senator
Moneys amendment that 5000
was added to the bill authorizing
the construction of the public
building in Biloxi, the home of
the Herald, and the further fact
that it Was by his amendment tha,
the SO, 900 for the Biloxi channelt
rejected by the House committee,
was added to the Rivers and Har-
bors Bill, 1t appears to us the
Herald is about as unappreciative
as it has heretofore been incon-
sistent in it's political utterances.

His Last Hope Realized.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont
In the first opening Of Oklaho-
ma to settlers in 1889, The editor
of this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made
the big race one fine dayin April.
During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his
claim. he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed
almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became SO
bad he expected to die. One of
his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain S
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope, A big
dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in a few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his frst sound
sleep for a fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests

As to personals"

One of the legitimate purposes
and functions of a newspaper in
this day IS to keep people inform
ed concerning each other and to
tell the public what it has d right
to know of events and persons
who are interesting because of
their prominence. In old times
when q young woman came to
town, for instance, it was but a
matter of an evening and day to
have the fact circulated all
through her circle of personal
friends and acquaintance. As
communities become larger, how
ever, this plan is impracticable.
1t is entirely legitimate and prop
er to send to the newspapers a
quiet announcement that any
visitor is in the city and to give
the address for the information
of their friends. Certain social
functions, as, for instance, large
church weddings, are in a meas
ure public property. Many
people are invited to see them
and they are made spectacular
and picturesque, presumably at
least for the pleasure of the
guests. There is no reason why
an advent of this kind should not
be described in thesnewspapers

After a life of great industry
and usefulness, Mr.John William
Finn, formerly of Mississippi,
died at his home in Birmingham,
Ala, Thursday morning, June II,
1903.
Mr.. Finn leaves a wife and
eight children, besides a host of
relatives and friends to mourn
his death. He was the third son
of the late Robert S. aud Nanny
Finn and was born in DeSoto
county, where he WIS loved and
respected by all. A few years
ago he moved to Birmingham.
Mr. Finn was true Baptist
and was formerly q member Of
the S L. Church at Olive Branch
but transferred his membership
to the ,Taird Baptist Church of
Birmingham, since his removal
to that place. His remains were
inferred in the family grave yard
at Olive Branch. His former pas
tor, Rev. j. w. Lee, made
beautiful and touching talk. Let
us meet this great loss with loving
resignation, remembering

respectfully End accurately. AS
to other weddings, propriety
requires that they should he pub
licly announced. The old rule
was to announce them simply by
advertisements containing the
name of the bride and groom and
official clergyman, but public
taste and interest, which we can
not say are vitlated or depraved,
demand some more particulars,
and we do not see why they
should be withheld.
There is no need for any pre-
tense about all these matters. 1t
is true that some of the people
who are loudest in denouncing the
newspapers on all occasions are
among the first to ask favors of
them and that those who deplore
the "invasion of privacy and
turn up their noses at the person
al and social prominence given to
their neighbors are ready, usual
ly, perhaps, after some little dis
play of coyhess, to go into the
most painful particulars and most
minute details concerning their
own affairs-except when the
connection happens to be in some
way unfortunate or shady, in
which case they are feroclously
or abjectly or otherwise earnest
ly intent on suppression. Yet
these very same people are the
first to grumble and accuse the
newspapers of subservlency to
social and financial influences
when the details of a scandal or
crime or misfortune involving
some other family are suppressed
or treated Conservatory.
All of this is part Of human ma
ture and newspapers learn to
deal with ii good humoredly and
as part Of the days work. 1t is
all told in the familiar old fable of
the goring of the OK.
We are approaching a sensible
and busines- like basis in which
newspapers and people willunder-
stand each other. No reputable
newspaper wants to intrude itself
improperly on the sanctity OF pri-
vate life or desires to hurt the
feelings or the character of any
body. AS a rule. the newspapers
are very merciful. They have
certain we'll established traditions
and regulations as to what is and
is not Legitimate news. They
violate these much more fire.
quently on the side of mercy than
otherwise. They try to give the
public the information, personal
and other, which the public pays
to get. and which is entitled to

their heels was the wagon. They could
not have stopped If they had desired. be-
cause the wagon crowded them on. Then,
again the lines were so taut on account
Of the main strength that Sheets put
into his efforts to stop them in their

feet as bracers aglinst the runaway

STILL OUT
ARE PAINTERS
Strikers and Contractors no Nearer Set

Tied Up Some.

There il no change in the painters
stril !. The contractors and strikers are
no arer settlement than at the be,
ginning Of the strike. An effort IS be-
ing made to get the nOn-uniOn men of
the works, but it is not likely to be
successful The strike is already being
felt in building circles, as there IS much
painting to be done, and building can
not be occupied until it is done. A con.
tinuance Of the strike for any length
of time will tie up industry and COM
merce considerably, not on account OF
the number of men out, but because
there is urgent work to be done in the
painting line. The contractors think
they offered liberal concessions, and do
not feel disposed to do more in that re-
spect.
