Capt. Walter Barker.

The transfer of Capt. Walter Bar
ker Of our State, quartermaster Of the
third brigade U. S. army from Batan-
gas, Philippines, to Nagaski, Japan,
making him the Only United States
officer outside the diplomatic corps in
that empire, is a great compliment
and recognition of his peculiar abil-
ity to tittingly represent the republic
any where. This highly responsible
assignment is doubtless due to the
splendid record by Capt. Barker in
the consular service in Cuba, where
his opinions and reports had much to
do with the shaping of our naval and
military campaign in the Spanish
American war. His friends and old
army comrades will have no anxiety
as to the manner Of his acquitting

ADVICE TO A POLITICIAN.
DON'T GET INTO CONTROVERSY WITH
EDITORS.

Gen. Ferdinand Clayborne Latrobe.
the seven-term mayor of Baltimore
city, and now president of the Consol-
idated Gas Co., OF that city, credits
much Of his success to the newspapers.
Il learned their value early in life,'
the general said the other day. I was
down on Gov. Swami S farm. He was
then a member of congress as was
Judge Niblack Of Indiana, who was
visiting him. The judge patted me
on the shoulder and said:
IOung man your father-in-laW
tells me you have got into political
life. Now, I am an old hand at poll
tics, and I want to give you some SOL
id advice. It is this: There are three
sorts OF people you must not quarrel
with If you want to make a successful
politician. First is the pre- acher, be-
cause he has the floor, and you must
sit and take what he says. Next is a
woman. She can say more in an hour
than you can say in whole day, and
everybody will believe her, for against
hers your word will be of no avail.
The third and most important is the
newspaper man. The newspaper can
say lots of nice things about you that
will help you more than all the speech
es you can make, or it can say all
sorts OF things against you, and it will
cost you so much a line to answer
them.'
Il have always stuck close to the
judges advice.''

OXFORD MISS, JAN. 22.-No sad
der news has come to our home In
long while than last Monday morning
when we read letter from our old
cook, Monroe Franklin, telling us OF
the death of Sister Thomas Jones,
the true and faithful housekeeper of
Grenada College. She lived in our
home for three years and a sweeter
Christian character, I don't think l
have ever known. Jesus called the
peacemaker a child of God and such
was Sister Jones. She was always
ready to settle any difficulty that
might arise in her department.
Though she lived quiet, modest,
and rather reserved life, she none tie
less showed forth the spirit Of her
Christ in her daily walk. Indeed, her
very words and acts told Of her ac-
quaintanceship with her Lord. Gre

feel that her death is not only a loss
to her family and Grenada College,
but that and my family have also
sustained a personal loss. She was
not only good neighbor but she was
one of the most devoted and Self-Sacri-

We would pluck the brightest flower
from the garden of our heart and
place it upon her grave. hope some
day that we shall meet her again
where parting shall not be known.

PRICE Is SAID TO
HAVE BEEN SHOT
INVESTIGATION SHOWS THAT HE
WAS PEEPING THROUGH THE
WINDOW OF RESIDENCE WHEN
HE WAS FIRED UPON.

1t developed yesterday through an in
Pvice of Avondale, who died several days
ago, came to his end by violent means.
He was thought to have died from Perl
tonitls, and such was the death certif-
cate, but 1t seems that the disease was
brought on from the gunshot wounds.
According to the investigation he was
peeping through the window of the room
of two young ladies in Avondale, and
they discovered him. They reported the
matter to their father and brother, who
started an investigation. They discovered
a pair of patent leather shoes in which
there we're a pair of feet protrudng from
under a house. Instantly the shoes dis
appeared and white man was next seen
trying to climb the rear fence OF the
yard.
Several bullets from pistol were fired
at the man. and he groaned, but disap-
peared, and nothing more was seen of
him by those who did the shooting. 1t
seems that Price was the man under the
house, and who had been caught peep
ing through the window. The following
morning, 1t seems. Price was found pros
trate on the front porch of his parents
residence, and was carried to Talley &c
McAdory's hospital. where he fingered
several days and died.
Efforts were made to keep the matter
a secret. but it leaked out and has be-
come the talk of Avondale, and especially
in military circles, where the boy figured
conspicuously. When the undertakers
embalmed the body they found no traces
of the gunshot woulds.
