HENRY WATTERSON.

Harpcr's Weekly has this TO say OF
one OF the most interesting and pictur-
esque figures in the public eye:
"Honry Watterson, editor Of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, soldier, poet,
lecturer and statesman, is easily the
most picturesque character In American
journalism. There Is nothing common
place about him from" the tips of his
fingers TO the tip Of his tongue. He is
out Of the ordinary. His personality is
unique enough to win him distinction
were he denied the rare mental gifts
that are his heritage.
"Mr. ..Watterson loves a good novel.
He likes good play. He ia fond oil
tho stage people. He ls devoted to mu-
sic. Few professionals can coax such
soul-entrancing melody from piano.
And like a true Kentucleian, he has
other tastes. He is gourmet who car
ashton tho many rare dishes his palate
raves. He can tell the age Of glasf
OF Bourbon without looking at the reye-
nue stamp. He can make rack OF
chips at roulette table look as IL Tn,

where courteous calls are made, by one

THE dovERNoR's HONESTY.

That Governor vardaman has erred in
his reply to the coneratulatory message
OF President Francis, of the Worlds
Fair, has been made to appear by sew
eral OF the anti-vardaman correspond
ents and newspapers OF the State, is not
only uncalled for, but inappropriate and
shows plainly method In the manner.
Under the circumstances, Gov. Var
daman had a right to do just what was
expected of him by those (the majority
OF Mississippians) who put him In office.
The people have always known him as
none other than the man who bore on all
occasions, whether private or state, the
courage OF mis- convictions, and this 90
casion was no exception to the rule.
In alluding to tho President in the
manner the reply -telegram reads, James
X. Vardaman did not insult Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
states, no more than Roosevelt insulted
the Governor and the people OF the
State OF Mississippi when the name OF
"Vardaman" for post In Calhoun
county was rejected. While we are
aware that two wrongs have never made
right, Gov. Vardaman displayed no
more disrespect for the President OF the
United States by his message than the
President did by his prejudice 30 plainly
manifested in the post office matter, and
even II he be Governor, the estimate his
people would have OF him would be vety
small II in sense he ossayed the role
OF DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde as man and
Official.
President Francis' message was equal
TO the Haunting OF red cloth TO the
view of maddcned bull. Knowing, as
he must, II u scholar of modern events,
OF the breach existing between these
two high officials, just why President
Francis should have sent such message
no sane reason can be assigned.
Tho Governor, the State and the poo.
pie are little concerned relative to |
Roosevelts opinion regarding the Mis- |
sissippi Building, and II there exists
harm in the entire proceedings, It can |
only be attributed TO the indiscreet tele.
gram OF President Francis, who has
made himself oyer-officious and received
his just deserts at the hands OF the Gov
ernor.

ALONG THE RURAL ROUTE.

Over 700 kinds of potatoes are known
in England The latest variety, known
as Eldorado, which is said to be remark
ably prolific, and is very scarce, has
fetched as much as $40 apiece.
A conspiracy has been discovered hav-
ing for its object the sale of the Rose
bud Indian lands in South Dakota aggre-
eating 10000 acres, at So or So an acre,
when they are worth 81 to $40 an acre.
The president promises to prevent the
robbery if he can.
The census bureau estimates that APP
proximately 100000 acres were under
irrigation in July of last year. This is
an increase since the irrigation season
of 1899 as reported in the census of 1900
of l,660,455 acres
Whether it blows OF whether it SHOWS,
the season comes and the season goes;
the crops get sick and the farmers blue
the storekeepers kick and the lawyers
sue, the preachers preach and the sinners
sin, and cares beset the souls of men.
But through it all the printer prints, he
saves and saves and stints and stints;
the winds may rave and the floods may
roll and drouths break through from pole
to pole; but the printer man he prints
and prints, saves and saves and stints
and stints-happy, happy printer man;
he does the very best he can-sticking
type or twisting press, he trusts to luck
and does his best"
There are plenty of farmers in the
United States but there is scarcity of
hired men, who get the best of wages,
and they are difficult to secure. Statist-
les are authority for the statement that
there are more than five million farmers
and less than two million hired men.
Farmers sons to the number of two mil
lion are a great help on the big farms,
but there remain yet many thousands OF
farmers who must be their own farmers
from the fact that any number of bright
young men swarm into the cities, vieing
with each other in over-crowded occupa-
tions with scant pay and poor lodgings,
rather than to lead an Independent, free
and easy life on the many farms through
out the country.
