OUR NEW JUDGE.

Though born and reared in the
adjoining county Of Gopiah, Hon.
David M. Miller, the new Circuit
Judge of this district, was known
personally to comparatively few
Lincoln county people before he
came to Brookhaven in the dis
charge of his official duties. How
ever, by his able charge to the
grand jury Monday, his prompt
rulings on the bench and his firm,
dignified yet gentlemanIy bearing,
he has made most favorable i'm
preston on all our people. An
able lawyer, an upright, conscien-
tious, Christian gentleman, that
he will worthily wear the ermine
and evenly hold the scales of JUS
tice while he occupies the bench,
there need be no doubt.
The leader., 1903-11-04
Where GeOlOeists Can Find Lead.

The Biloxi Herald speaks as fol-
lows of the p easures of geological
investigation in a particular part
of Mississippi, where, it is said,
internal revenue officers are held
in disfavor, and every stranger is
supposed to be such an officer
until he proves to the contrary:
1.-TWO geologists are coming to
Mississippi at the instance of
Worlds Fair Commissioner R. H.
Henry with the view to finding
and preparing an exhibit of the
mineral resources of Mississippi
for the st. LouisExposition. The
geologists are referred to Vice
President I. P. Hale of the Gulf
& Ship Island Railroad, who can
tell them where some valuable
lead deposits can be found in Sui
livan's Hollow, Smith county.
One or both of the geologists may
be mistaken for revenue agents
and worked to pIow for day or
two or they may run into feud
and catch the bullets which always
find the innocent bystander, 2" but
then their suffering will have been
in the cause of science and there is
a good demand for martyrs these
days."

YESTERDAYS ELECTION.
A Close Race Between Summers and
Linton for County Treasurer.

OF couse yesterdays election,
so far as Mississippi is con Germ
ed, went Democratic. On account
of the fact that there was no oppo-
sition to the Democratic ticket, ,ex-
cept here and there an independ-
ent for minor county Office, a
light vote was polled throughout
the State. The result of the race
for Clerk of the Supreme Court,
for which no nomination was
made and for which five Demo
Gratis were running, cannot be
known until fuller returns come
in.
In Lincoln county all of the
regular Democratic nominees for
county and district Offices have
been elected except one justice of
the peace in district No. /, where
F. H. Hoffman, Independent
Democrat, beat Geo. Lambright,
Jr. There were three candidates
for this Office in district No. 1,
only two of whom could be elect
ed, and the vote stood: J. B.
Daughtry, POS; Geo. Lambright,,
Jr., 204; f. H. Hoffman, 241.
The race for county treasurer
between Wade L. Summers, Dem
ocratic nominee, and W. q. Lin
ton, Independent, was very close,
Summers receiving majority of
four votes on the face of the Off
cial returns. The two Brookha-
ven boxes combined gave Sum-
mers 1S1, and Linton 1873.
Linton and Lambright, the de-
feated candidates, have demanded
a recount of the returns by the
County Election Commissioners.
and it will be late tonight OF to-
morrow before this count is final
ly completed and the result an
nounced, as it will require re-
canvass of every ballot cast in the
county and comparison of the
result thus obtained with the re-
turns made by the election officers
of each precinct.

Make Yourself Wanted. ''

In an address reported in the
American papers, Secretary Shaw
tells an incident that puts in half
a dozen words the secret of busi.
ness success. A young clerk in a
store, he said, asked for an in
crease in salary. The proprietor
gave it to him. A little later. the
clerk asked for another raise. At
fist the owner was indignant:
then after thinking the mater
over, he sent for the clerk.
Young man." he said, what
you need is not more money, but
more usefulness Then he point
ed to him countless ways in which
he might have done something for
the company and had missed his
opportunity-times when he had
been careless or Indifferent or ig-
norant.
Every time," he concluded,
that a customer comes in and
asks fer you personally, it counts
for you and counts for the store.
Your business is to make yourself
wanted"
1t is the secret of success in bust
ness; is it not also the secret of
success in every place in life? In
the home, in the school, every
where, the one whose work is
thorough and cheerful and enthus-
iastic is the one who is making the
most in life. make yourself
wanted" and you will soon know
