The Case of a Chicken.

Gilsey Gee resides in the east
ern section of of this city as does
also John Watts, both colored.
Gee claimed the ownership of a
chicken valued at 25cts and as
the chicken was in Watts pos
session Gee replevined it. Then
came the trial last Saturday be
fore Judge J. NJ. Wakefield. Law
yers were employed, Judge Jas.
t. Harrison representing Gee
and Col. Is. G. Belts appearing
for Watts. Witnesses were sum-
moned and jury called for.
The jury gave the chicken to
Gee and from this decision Watts
now appeals to the circuit court.
The costs in the case have
amounted to about $4,000 already
and the end is not yet. Great is
the law.

hydrophobia was killed in the
Dow neighborhood last Satur-
day. The animal was bitten by
a mad dog four or five weeks ago

keep it from attacking other ami

became so vicious and dangerous
that it was found necessary to
dispatch it. The hog was on Mr.

At last the Mississippi levee
system has broken. Yesterday s
papers contained an account of
the breaking of the levee fifteen
miles above Memphis on the Ar
kansas side when one mile of it

votes at the proper time. A

kilograms sent out from Col

General Jacob Sharp has made
formal announcement of his can

treasurer. General Sharp has a
host of friends over the state who
will take a great deal of pleasure
in voting for him. Clarion-Led-
ger.
Gen. J. Fl. Sharp, soldier, pa
triot and gentleman, will be a
candidate for state treasurer.
As soon as his name was sug-
gested in this connection there
was a spontaneous outburst from
all parts of the state, ratifying
the suggestion. 1t would be a
fitting tribute TO this gallant and
noble gentleman for Mississippi
to tender him the office unani-
mously. The Times has never
been an advocate of handing the
office to a man on silver plat
form so to speak; but this is an
exceptional case, and such action
on the part of the democracy of
Mississippi would meet the un-
qualified endorsement of the en-
tire people. -Starkvlle Times.
The Eupora Progress announ-
ces that it has been shown a
letter from General j. II. Sharp,
Of Lowndes stating that he is
candidate for State Treasurer.
This intelligence will give great
pleasure to his many friends
throughout the State, and will be
especially gratifying to the sur
viyors Of the Twin Brigades -
Sharp's and Brantley s which
fought shoulder TO shoulder on
SO many bloody fields. We be-
lieve that the sons of the old vet
Grams viii rally around him now
with as much enthusiasm as
their fathers did in the sixties.

THE RAILROAD c0MRlssl0a.

Under our republican form of
government the only opportuni-
IL the people have Of righting
their wrongs IS with the ballot at
the polls and when the opportu-
nifty IS presented and they are
aroused To a consciousness of
their duty IN the premises they
never fail 10 apply the remedy
The oppor tnnity is soon TO be
presented the people of electlng
a Railroad Com mission which
will serve them and not the rail
roads, and campaign of ednca-
ton is soon to be begun which it
is hoped will bring relief to a
long suffering and sorely op-
pressed people. The Railroad
Com mission of Mississippi with
the functions of their office as at
present administered is use
less adjunct of our State govern
ment. Clothed with authority
absolute in the management and
control of the railroad lines in
this commonwealth they seek
refuge ia the matter of adjusting
freight rates equitably behind the
miserable plea that the fixing
and establishing of rates. the
business of rate making should
be entrusted to the traffic mana
gers and railroad men Of expert
ence and when complications and
inequalities arise they entrust
their solution to the railroads
and then ratify their action. With
power to create rates which
would place Mississippi's home
industries upon the same basis
as foreign competitors they have
refused absolutely to exercise
the power and the result is that
home manufacturers are com
PEELED to look for their markets
in other fields.
Not only is this true
but it is also a fact that the
Commission permits discrimina-
tons open, unjust and fragrant,
to exist and continue under its
very nose In this section of the
State are many towns with
railroad facilities and water
courses in their favor yet they
have been at the mercy of the
railroads for years and years.
They have complained, rebelled,
implored, petitioned and under
the gulse of taking heed and Civ
ing attention to these com plants
the Railroad Commission has
turned a deaf ear to them and
left these vast commercial inter
ests to struggle along handi-
capped and Disseminated against
as best they can. Is it any won
der that with an election APP
preaching that the people are
welcoming the opportunity of
relief Will it be surprising if
the people become aroused on
this subject and demand reck-
8ng at the polls in August?
The time is coming to redress
our wrongE and we must do it
with the Ballot.

Good Advice.

Prof. L. G. Morris, of the
Dowdle School, never lets an OPP
portunity to benefit his pupils
and to impress them with the
Importance of making the best
of their educational advantages
pass and some time ago he asked
Prof. Hardy to write something
for his school along this line.
Among other things the presi-
dent of the A. and M College
wrote the following, which is
published for the benefit of all
who are acquiring an education
and who are preparing for the
battle of life:
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, MISS.
March, 1908.
PROF. r. c. MORRIS,
Swanzy, Miss.
DEAR SIR have been intend
ing for some time to write a let
ter to you and through you to
your school urging some vital
points upon them, but / have
been so exceedingly busy that |
have not had time for
anything except work. Please
say to them for me that the first
office to which a boy is called to
fill in this life is the office of
manhood. and the first Office to
which a girl is called to fill is
the office of womanhood; that
it is not so much Importance as
to where a person is as ia what
direction he is travelling. 1t
matters not how bad a boy is
if he is getting better every day;
it matters not how ignorant one
is if he is becoming more intelli-
gent every hour Every boy has
the possibilities of becoming a
great man and every girl the pos
sibilities of becoming a great
woman. and to become truly
great is to become truly good.
Goodness is the beginning of
greatness.
In this day of schools and col
leges there is no excuse for ig-
norance. A boy can come here
with almost absolutely nothing
and work his way through col
lege. Poverty is no crime, but
ignorance is when one has had
the opportunity of becoming in
telligent.
Tt was once thought that the
destiny of a child was determin-
ed by the influence of the star
under which it was born; and
to-day in those countries upder
the control of monarchs the des-
tiny of a child is determined by
the grade of society into which
it happens to be born: but in
this glorious country of ours the
destiny of every child depends
upon its own merits and upon
its own efforts. It is a splendid
thing to be an American citizen.
We require of our boys here, in
the first place to be gentlemen,
to study and to work, and we do
not allow any of them to smoke
drink whiskey or
play cards. Let every boy in
your school begin to save his
money and to determine some
day TO be graduate of this
