Champion Cotton Pickers.

Champion Cotton Pickers.
James and Clifton, the Is and H.
year-old sons of J. J. Cooper, a pros
porous farmer living near Lawrence,
in Newton county, made remark
able record one day last week for
speed in picking cotton. They had
been making a pretty good showing
in gathering the feecy staple and the
other day their father told them he
would make them present Of SIS it
the two would pick 700 pounds in
one day. The boys went to the patch
about daylight to begin their task.
BY noon Clifton had picked 312
pounds and James 3o8, and they in
formed their father that they be-
lieved they could make it a thousand
by night, whereupon they were told
by the father that if they did he
would double the prize. After rest
ing forty minutes for dinner they re-
turned to their work and at 6:30
o'clock p. M, when the cotton was
weighed, it was found they had
picked 1,100 pounds, one getting
548 and the other $50 pounds.

eevsn caudldatee.

So far as can be sacertained, there
are now seven candidates in the race
for clerk Of the Supreme Court, and
more to hear from. Thu successful
candidate will have to get both q
Of the popular vote and .
majority Of the electoral vote in Or
der to win. This will, of course, be
next to impossible, with a field full
of candidates, and the race will be
thrown into the house of representa-
tives for final settlement. Where
no candidate receives both of these
majorities the house of representa-
tives must elect clerk from between
the two candidates receiving the
highest number of votes. The can
didates now in the field are George
G. Myers, w. J. Brown, John L.
Brady, w. J. Pickett, S. L. Dobbs,
Mr.. Minor of Noxubee and Henry
Yerger.
Field Will 30 a Full One.
Candidates continue to announce
in the race for clerk of the Supreme
Court, and the field promises to be a
full one. Petitions are in circula-
ton in every county in the State
for signers in order to get the names
of the candidates on the State tick
ct. Since these petitions have been
circulating the lawyers have begun
to look into the matter. and to dis
cuss the question of whether it is
necessary to have petition circu-
lated in each county. Judge Camp
bell takes the view that it is only
necessary to have one petition of
fifty qualified electors. Section 1862
of the Code seems to be little am
biguous, and Judge Campbell's view
is generally indorsed by the lawyers
here who have examined the ques-
ton, but the candidates all want to
be on the safe side, and all of them
are in the field with petitions.

Another lndianoia Incident.

From a prominent Indianola cit
izen an interesting incident is
learned, connected with the Indian
ola postoffice affair, that has some
thing of funny phase to it. When
the postoffice was discontinued, or
closed, by the departure Of Minnie
Cox, it seems that there was a white
man connected with the Office whose
duty it was to haul the mail from
the depot to the postofhce. He was
the only white man connected with
the institution, Minnie Cox and her
assistant being colored. The depart
ment at Washington continued the
salaries Of Minnie Cox and her as
sistant, but the pay of the white
man WAS cut off. Not long since
the white man saw in one of the pa
pers a notice of the fact that Min
ME Cox and the assistant postmas-
ter were still drawing their pay reg
ularly. Whereupon the white man
took his pen in hand and wrote to
letter to the postmaster-general,
complaining of the fact, and insist
ing that the department was dis
eliminating against him on <ac-
count of his color" He urged that
it was not just or fair to him, for the
department to cut on his pay be-
cause he was the only white man,
and at the same time to continue the
pay of the favored colored employees
His letter was a plea for his '@down-
trodden race" and begged for JUS
tice. The postmaster-general has
not yet replied to the appeal.

COLD POLICY TO HOLD THE
STRENUOUS ONE IN LEASH
The Coming Message Written Under the Shadow of
the Approaching Presidential Election Will
be an Artful Dodger.

will be the part Of the message referring
to the recently inearthed frauds that
seem to honeycomb almost every depart
ment of the public service. The Prcsi-
dents friends deny that he will try to
conceal anything or shield anybody, and
predict that the message viii be so clear
regarding the postal frauds and will show
that the government has so fully handled
the situation that Congress will have no
reason to desire to make an investigation
of it's own. Necessarily, in this connec-
ton. he will also have to make reference
to the now rapidly developing disclosures
as TO land frauds in the West and The
as yet uninvestgated, Indian frauds. In
all these the public is intensely interested
and the utterance from the White House
relating to them Will be read eagerly.
Closely allied to the discussion of our
insular affairs is the proposition to form
a new department for a better unlicatlon
and more systematic supervision from
the capital of our colonial relations. 1t is
claimed by the advocates of this PROPOSE
ton that such department Is even now
greatly needed and that the problems COM
ing up in connection with the colonial
possessions of this country are constantly
on the increase; that the bureau of insular
affairs, now attached to the War Depart
ment has a staff of hundred clerks ana
is not able to do anything like the things
that it ought The proposition is to
bring all the work relative to the insular
affairs of the government together under
"a single department. and possibly make
the head Of it cabinet officer.
Though it is exceedingly doubtful if the
President will recommend a scheme Of
this sort in a message at this time, 1t IS
stated that Senator Foraker expects to IN
troduce a bill providing for the formation
of such Il department, and believes that
though it may not pass at this session 1t
will ultimately become a law.
The suggestion means simply the estab-
lishment, for all time, of the imperial
policy in this country by Incorporating it
in the machinery of the government. That
| il would thereforeN meet with determined
opposition on the part Of the Democrats
and many of the Republicans goes with
out saying. 1t would lead to the inquiry
as to whether the islands now belonging
to this country are to forever remain III
their present state: what the policy OF
the Administration regarding their future
is to be-are they to be made free, or ad-
mitted as territories and then as states
with all the rights that those terms mean;
and if so, how soon in the future may
they be so far advanced as to warrant
such a step? These are some of the mary
troublesome questions that would arise IN
connection with the proposition for q
colonial secretary in this country, as IN
England, and for this reason such a pro
position will certainly not be seriously
urged by the Republicans with Prest-
Dental election just ahead Of them.
