People of Columbus Attach Great
Confidence in Efficacy Of
Prayer for Rain.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
jackson, May 1s.-The people OF
Columbus attach an implicit conf
dence in the efficacy of prayer for
rain. During the long drouth last
summer flock of Holiness evangelists
visited the town and at the request
Of citizens sent up fervent petitions
for a precipitation of moisture A
few days later there was a regular
deluge that flooded all the streams in
the county. A few days since the
community was again in the midst of
long dry spell which threatened to
destroy all the crop, and again the
Holiness people came to town and in
augurated campaign of prayer,
which was quickly followed by series
of downpour.
The people of Columbus are now
confident that the Holiness prayer is
a cinch when rain is needed.

ON GAINING GROUND.
The Probability is That Judge
Critz Will Be Nominated in
First Primary.

From a private letter received by
a gentleman of this place we publish
the following concerning Judge Critz' s
candidacy for governor. 1t speaks for
itself:
81 am pleased to report that Judge
Critz is gaming preceptably every
day, and there is no question of his
being in the lead of any candidate.
We think it not only possible to NOM
mate him the first day, but believe it
probable that he will be so nominated.
We know he will be, if his friends will
take an active interest in his be
half. Vardaman is losing strength
fast, and it is coming to Judge Critz. -

EDUCATIONAL COUNCIL
To Hold Their First Meeting
Ablest Educators in State Com
pose This Body.
Special to the Daily Progress

Jackson, May 18.-The first meet
ing of the educational council appoint
ed by the Mississippi Teachers asso-
citation at the Vicksburg convention
will probably be held during the pro-
gress of the university summer school
in June. Fifteen of the ablest edu-
Gators in the state compose this body,
and the step inaugurated is one of the
most important to the educational in
terests of the state that has been
launched since superintendent Whit
field started his campaign for the i'm
provement of the rural schools. The
council will have several matters of
weighty Importance for transaction,
and among others suggested is the es-
tablishment of course of agriculture
in the rural schools. Mississippi is
essentially an agricultural state, and
for several years some of the leading
educators have advocated this agricul-
tural course, believing that it will
prove of inestimable value, especial
ly in the negro schools, and that it
will result in making the laboring
class more efficient for their work
The work of the educational council
portends an are of educational advance
ment that is gratifying to contem-

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

hLG vi n
A curious thing about woman is
that she can be proud of her grand
children and her youth at the same
time.
1t is a sign of greatness in the
man who never tries to solve the prob
lem of the way woman's mind
doesn't work.
A great many women fall in love
with women's queer clothes without
ever dreaming it isn't the women
themselves.
A woman never cares for a mirror
that makes her get up on a chair
whenever she wants to see how hel
stockings look on her.
Every thoughtful wife has sus-
picion that a million dollars may fall
into her husbands lap any minute,
and she has the list of the things she
will buy then all made out. New

SHERIFF EvADED THE LAW.
He Pays Taxes to State, County
and Levee Board For Delin-
quents in Coahoma.
Special to the Daily Progress

Special to the Daily Progress
Jackson, May 49, Considerable i'll
feeling and factionalism has been
stirred up in Coahoma county over
the grand jury report in which Sheriff
Shannon is criticised for an alleged
evasion Of the law. The report of
the jury says:
We find that on or about February
1st many poll taxes and other taxes on
personal property had been unpaid,
and that for some reason the tax re-
ceipts were issued dated on or prior to
the 1st of February, and that these
receipts were in the hands of the sher-
if or his former deputy. These par
ties we find, had not paid their taxes
on or before the first of February,
and haven't paid up until this date.
The sheriff has been charged by the
county auditor with the tax receipts
so issued, and he has in his settlement
paid the taxes to the state, county
and levee board, but we regard this
as an evasion of the law. -
The complaint made against the
sheriff was quite. a common custom
among tax collectors few years ago,
and is still followed in some of the
counties, the collector making out re-
ceipts for persons whom he felt con-
fident would pay their taxes, and hold
ing the receipts for settlement after
the first of February, which is the
limit for payment under the law.

RAINS GENERAL OVER STATE.
Crop Conditions Greatly Improved

OOplOuS SHOWERS.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May 1S.-Copious showers
have been general over the state dur
ing the past week, greatly improving
the condition of crops, and from only
few isolated sections are heard the
complaints of lack of moisture, which
were so universal. two weeks ago.
Cotton planting is unusually late, but
where stands have appeared above the
surface they are generally good, and
with late fall season and nominal
conditions prevailing during the sum-
mer there is no reason why Missis
sippi' crop should not be up to the
average. Corn is also doing fairly
well. although some of the early
planting was destroyed by the drouth.

the public have been bitten Is en-
tirely removed. In the meantime 1t
will continue to make money for
those who have faith in 1t, besides
building up incontrovertible proofs
of its superiority over all other classes
of securities for all classes of inves-
tors.
Many people object to investing In
mining stock because II is not usually
listed and 1t may take time to resell,
whereas railroad securities have
ready market. This is quite true;
but there are many other things to DO
considered.
Any stock that is listed runs the
chance Of falling into the hands of
manipulators. When this occurs,
the principal factor in favor of min.
ing is wiped out, and, so far as the
market value Is concerned, 1t Ia
better than many other stocks over
which manipulation has control.
Nor does mining stock stand alone
in this respect. Real estate Is in
the same position, without having
the redeeming feature of paying
a high rate of interest. There
are many today who most sincerely
wish that they could unload their
real estate holdings, but find 1t i'm
possible to do so.
II mining Is to be used for purely
speculative purposes, AS a rule, 1t
will be found unsatisfactory. But
II money Is put into II and allowed
to remain there until the proposition
has proved its value beyond argu-
ment, II will be found reasonably
easy to dispose of the stock. Inves-
tors and not speculators are needed
to develop mining.
