The Presidents Message.

President Roosevelt delivered
his message to the regular session
of congress which convened Mon
day Immediately after the adjourn
ment OF the extra session. The
usual points covered in such messa-
ges were touched upon by the presi-
dent but no remedial legislation
Of note was recommended. The
istbmian canal was the subject of
greatest consideration and con-
siderable space was taken up to ex-
oaerate the administration for the
shameful proceedings INDUCED in
In connection with the Panama
revolution. The President frank
ly admits that he believed that it
Vas lime to employ force, il need
be, to construct the canal if Col
oinbia did not accede to the pro-
position of this government. He
brushes aside the law and his
day as laid down in the treaty SUBJ
mittpd to Columbia in which it was
specifically stated that in The event
the Columbian treaty failed
negotiations should Immediately
be opened up with Nicaragua and
Costa Rico. The message will not
take place with the great papers
that have been submitted to con-
gress by the former presidents of
the United States.

and it is true that where there is a will
there is also a way. These adages were
both exemplifed in the Ease of Mr.. R.

hand of Miss Estelle McFarling in mar
riage but found strong parental objec-
ton on account of the age of the young
lady. Nothing daun- ed the lovers took
the train for Bonneville where they
found obliging friends who lent all
necessary aid to bring about the we'd

lowing morning the happy couple re-
turned to Tupelo and from this place
took Il carriage for home to seek for

Financial Situation.

Never since the war has there
been such an inflow of money to
the south as at the present time.
The price Of all products raised in
this section, have commanded
good prices and brought an un-
usual amount of money to the
southern states. With this inflow
of money into the south there has
been a corresponding outflow from
the great money centers of the
east, north and west. This Stream
has become SO great that there has
become such. stringency of the
market as to force a number of
the great business enterprises to
look to the southern banks for as
s~istance to tide them through un-
til there is a reaction.
The amount of the money now
in the South is evidenced by the
large increase in the bank deposits
in all the southern states. While
these deposits represent a very
large per cent of the money in the
country, they do not represent the
total. There is a large class who
do not use the bank as a place of
safety for their money. This class
we believe hold at least one third
of the money. People who live
any great distance from the towns
usually keep their money at home
as IA matter of convenience nearly
every darkey who has any means
ahead keeps it with him, hid in
some imaginary secure place. If
it were possible to get this money
III the banks the true amount now
held by our people would be vastly
increased.
