AN ILLUSTRATED MAuAZiNE EDI.
TON or THE ECHO.

1t affords the management OF The Echo
much pleasure to announce TO the peo-
pie OF Bay ST. Louis and Hancock coun-
ty that it has decided and made arrange
ments whereby a mammoth edition of
this paper, profusely illustrated and
bound in magazine form, will be issued
some time within the next two or three
months, TO emanate from our new news
paper office building on the corner Front
and State streets. 1t was our intention
70 ne months ago 10 get out this special
edition, which will be entirely separate
from our regular one, around the holiday
season, but 1t was found not only i'm
practicable but utterly impossible to un-
dertake so large work in our present
all too small quarters. For this work
The Echo has been particularly fortu-
nate in securing the services of Messrs.
IL. l.. and b. II. Lyons, Of Laurel, Miss,
two young gentlemen who are specialists
in the work, and who come to Bay st.
Louis at our special solicitation. They
will collect and compile the data neces-
sary which will make this edition worthy
OF life preservation and will attend to the
Advertising department 1t is safe TO
say nothing of the like has ever been at
tempted in this section. Much history
abounds in Bay ST. Louis, it's undevelop-
ed resources are wonderful and as a
summer and winter resort it has no
equal. These will be given special at
tention and the city will never have re-
ceived a better and more representative
advertisement than this proposed edition
with a circulation up in the thousands. I!
We propose to give Logtown and Pearl
ington as well as Waveland an opportu-
nifty to be represented in this edition.

FAST LIYiNd.-A LESSON.

A young man named Sims, who
belonged TO the best social set in
Atlanta, Ga., has been arrested
for robbing the bank in which he
worked Of ninety-four thousand
dollars. Sims Is 10 Jail and he re-
fuses to do any talking. 1t seems
that Sims did not speculate or
gamble. He had II passion for
society and fine stock. He had
fifty thousand dollar stock farm
in one of the counties near At
lanta. lie seemed to have car
ried his speculations over long
period of time and it was only by
accident that they were discover
ed. The great trouble with Sims
seems to have been that he lived
beyond his means and INDUCED
his fancy in things which were
beyond his financial ability to pay
for. There should be a les son
in this instance to a whole lot of
people. Living beyond ones means
is fault of the age. This is a
swift age, in which there is a de-
sire to keep up with the process
sion. Those who see others have
lots of this worlds goods think
they are bound to have them too.
There is no reason why people
should live beyond their means.
OF course people sometimes get
behind in their bills by reason of
the fact that they have sickness,
death or other misfortunes; but
take the average young man, un-
married, and there is no reason
why one of the class should live
beyond his means and get over his
head in debt. Any young man
who makes up his mind to be So
ber and honest, Industrious and
not to gamble need never fear
about the future if he does not
get IN the habit of letting his
wants get the better of him.
There is a future in this world for
any young man who realizes that
he is not able to have everything
that other people have. Young
men should remember that they
should win their spurs before they
can wear them. A great many
want to wear their spurs before
they can win them.-J ack S on

Letter to e. II. Roberts.

Dear Sir: Your business, is, when a
house burns down, to give the owner
some money to build new one. 1t is a
good business. Queer that the world
got on so long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down an
the new one too. What is better, we
paint the houses that don't burn down.
You insure the houses that burn; we
insure the houses that don't. You have
the ashes and smoke; all the houses are
ours.
We paint Lead and Zinc; Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters; we don't
paint.
Lead and oil is the old-fashion paint.
Devoe is zinc ground in with the lead
and linseed oil: the best paint in the
world: and the cheapest, becauseit takes
fewer gallons than mixed paints and ii
wears twice as long as lead and oil.
Nobody wants poor paint; there's lots Of
it, though, in the world.
A. M. Griffen, Plainfield. N. Jersey
writes.
Mr.. Aaron Higgins, OF Plainfleld, al
ways used 10 gallons Of mixed paint fcr
his house. Last Spring he bought 10
gallons Of Deyoe and had 4 gallons left.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEv0E & CO.,

DIVIDING THE SCHOOL FUND.

The proposition to divide the
the school fund between the races
in proportion to the amount OF
taxes paid by each seems 10 be
losing ground. 1t is opposed BY
Bishop Galloway, President Har-
dy, of the A. &M. College, Pre-
sident Lowry, of the Mississippi
College, President Murrah, of
Millsaps College, State Superln-
dent Whitfield, and, in fact, all
the leading educators OF the State.
The jackson Evening News of
the 3rd, discussing the subject,
has the following to say which is
we'll worthy of serious considera-
tion by those who are attracted
by the proposition:
"A division of the public school
fund between the races, propor-
tionate to the amount OF taxes
paid by each, would produce sloth
where thrift is now everywhere in
evidence. AS an analysis of
the conditions in Mississippi will
show that in the larger towns,
with one or two exceptions, the
public colorcd schools, or schools
carried on by missionary enter
prlses in the North, are in session
from eight to nine months in the
year. In any case, no matter
what Is done touching the distri-
button OF the school fund for pub
lie education, it is safe to say that
the Northern people, through
their various church organiza-
tions, will keep colored schools in
session in the cities and towns for
at least eight months in the year.
If the public school fund of Mis-
sissippl could be divided by any
juggling of the Constitution made
by Senator George and his states
manlike and putriotic colleagues,
it would mean that the colored
people would have no schools in
the country disticts, which would
mean further that the colored peo-
pie will at once leave the farm
ing districts and move to the towns
and cities Of the State for the sake
of educating their children. In q
word, the colored people would be
forced to leave the plantations.
where they are most valuable to
the white people, rs well as to
themselves, and go into the larger
cities and towns where the mark
ct is already overcrowded for liz
Dor. Such a law, if it could be
enacted, would reduce the price
of farm lands in Mississippi 30 per
cent. This would mean depres-
sion everywhere, for when there
IS stagnation in the country for.
want of labor the merchants,
bankers, lawyers, doctors, cdi-
tors and everybody else suffer.
No wonder the people of the
State are rising in their majesty
and might against such a wicked
proposition. The more they
will shun it as they would fam
inc, for il would prove a famine

Says the Biloxi Herald: "At
this stage of the campaign it looks
very much like straining point
when the Vardaman papers are
reduced to that leyee which com
pels them to reproduce the edito-
rial utterances of Mr.. Vardaman's
own paper--the Greenwood Com
monwealth - in their efforts to
make it appear that the people are
for Vardaman. Good old Bro.
eastman of the Vicksburg Post
has been great political "rooter"
in past campaigns, and the sur
prise is that he is now 90 short on
Vardaman thunder as to be forced
to reproduce an editorial from the
majors own paper, bearing the
caption, 1.-THE People are For

the outgoing tide Of his favoritc.
Poor Vardaman, his star is fast

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Suit OF the Revenue Agent Against
Lumber Dealers IF Decision of Judge
Neville Is Sustained Taxes Collected
VIII be Refunded.

Mr.. Joseph Jayne, one of the
attorneys for State Revenue Agent
Adams in the litigation brought
against tho Mississippi Lumber
Company in the circuit court Of
Clark county to enforce the pay
ment Of a special privilege tax i'm
posed by the Legislature of 1900
on sawmill operators who ship
lumber out of the State, and who
buy timber rights without pur-
chasing the land, is in the city
looking after the appeal record
which has just been filed with the
Supreme court.
The cas-, .ill be called for ar
gument before the Supreme court
within the next few days, and
much interest is attached to the
outcome owing to the widespread
effect of the final decision. In the
Clarke county circuit court Judge
Neville sustained the demurrer for
the defense on the ground that
the legislative act is violative of
the clause of the State constitu-
tion which provides that taxation
shall be uniform and even through
out the State" also that it is an
infringement of the interstate
commerce laws.
The attorneys for the revenue
agent are confident of winning the
case in the Supreme court. The
State Revenue Agent has collect
ed several thousand dollars under
the provision of the act, and if
the decision of Judge Neville
should be sustained the State will
have to refund all taxes thus col.

A SERIOUS MATTER.

Unless something positive be
qone when the next Legislature
meets, The Echo is at a loss TO
know what will become of the
beach front of the city of Bay st.
Louis. This is the pride and very
existence of this place, the attrac-
tIon of thousands of summer yisi-
tors every season, and unless some
measure for the protection of the
city front is embraced, there is no
telling what will become of it.
The law now governing the keep
ing OF beach property is said by
legal authorities to be not worth
the paper it occupies, and truly il
is SO generally ignored tha. it has
become farce and brought the
authority of the CITY into disrepute.
In this way each year the city's.
front is given to the water. This
has caused the removal of fences
and buildings so to give new
street way, and as a result we now
have in stretches the most irregu-
lar and unsightly streets and side
walks CD that could mar the clty's
lines and general appearances.
1t appears and is very unfair
where one man repairs and keeps
In order his beach property to
have it give way for want of pro-
lection on either side by his care
less neighbor, and besides the de-
tcrloratlon of values by allowing
this ruin to prevail and to pro-
gress is alarming.
The present and more so the
former boards of Mayor and Al
dermen have been somewhat lax
in this matter, yet nothing is more
vital or of more material interest
than this. The city has been told
by private counsel the present or
dinace which makes 1t compulso-
ry that every property owner re-
pair and keep III good condition
his beach property, is not valid,
yet the courts have never been ask
to pass upon the question. Why
not test? 1t is the city's duty. If
the ordinance is so thin not TO test,
why do the authorities remain idle
and let the ravages of each years
storms and rains wash away the
streets? The question is serious.
The city's front is fast being des.
troyed. In time total destruction
will be threatened. The situation
is self-appealing and something
must be done. The Echo is fully
aware Mayor O'Brien has busted
himself considerably in this mat
ter and accomplished by means of
friendly pursuasion some results.
But this is unsatisfactory, and on
ly shows the weakness of the city
and its inability of self-govern-
ment.
The time of moving fences back
to afford the elements new mate
rial in the wake of their fury we
hope is passed. We must be re-
build our banks and protect them,
either by special taxation and have
the city do the work in an intelli-
gent and uniform manner; do it
or compel every property owner.
This is an issue and must be met.
