Star Route Box Delivery.

In connection With the new contract
for carrying the mail between Scooba
and DeKalb, twice daily, and which
goes into effect IN the first of July next,
Postmaster ]. P. III. Hallford has re.
ceived a circular letter from the depart
ment, from which we quote:

vide, that, if you live on or near the

Of a postoffice or within the corporate

BILE box or crane by the roadside in such

STUART-K ZEN 4.

F. One Of the prettiest events of the sea-
son was b e"Daisy Wedding in Grace
Chapel, Giles, on Tuesday night last,
when Mr.. Allan Stuart was united in
the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss
Ethel, the pretty and accomplished
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Keeue,
Rev. ]. Frank Turner officiating. The
interior of the Chapel had been deco
rated with daisies aud festoons OF wild
towering vines for the ceremony, and
the effect was charming. Those ad.
%juncte to srch occasions, the flower
girls-little Misses Marie Neville and
Mary Lacy-looked very sweet in ap-
propriate costumes. The building was
Gro wded--in fact, many OF the men-folks
failed to get in at all-attes'ing to the
popularity of the young couple. Every
thing passed off nicely, and the newly
made mar and wife enter upon their
welded life with the best wishes of a
host OF friends, in all of which The
HERALD joins.

Application for Pardon.
The State of Mississippi,

kanper County.
To Hon. Jas. K. Vardaman, Governor
OF Mississippi:
Yonr petitioner. Rudolf Stewart,
would most respectfully present the fol-
lowing, to-wit:
That on the 10th day of September,
1908, he was indicted bv the Grand
Jury of Kemper County, Mississippi, on
a charge of "A. & B. with INTENT" and
that on the 18th day of said month and
year he was placed upon his trial, over
his protest, and verdict of guilty was
rendered and sentence to two years at
hard labor in the State penitentiary
was placed upon him-all occurring at
the regular September Term of the Cir
cult Court of said County and State, A.
d. 1908.
Your petitioner further states that he
is not guilty of the crime alleged in the
indictment, and that same was filed on
the 10Th day of September, as above set
forth, and that ON said day subpoenas
were duly issued for his witnesses, and
thai he was placed upon trial before
same had been returned, which resulted
IN his conviction without the benefit of
his witnesses being in court to testify
in his behalf-a denial of his constitu.
tional rights.
Petitioner further states that he has
been confined in the county Jail for a
period OF eleven months, and that same
is and has been punishment
surate with his wrong, il any there be.
wherefore he most respectfully prays
that your Excellepcy grant him a PAR.
don in the premises.

The Bank of Kcmper.

Elsewhere in this Issue OF The HER
AID will be found an advertisement OF
the Bank Of Kemper, located in Scoobe,
and which asks the patronage of the
citizens OF the county, personal and
corporate. Being the only institution
of its kind in the county, aside from the
convenience thereof, it should be a
matter Of pride with our people to help
it On the road to success and to keep
it there.
As to the management OF the bank, a
glance at its directorate is a guarantee
ota4safe and conservative administra-
ton of its affairs.
But few business men in the State of
Mississippi can lay claim 10 having
made less mistakes, from a business
viewpoint, than the president OF the
Bank of Kemper, Mr.. Joe Cramer. For
the past four years in his own name,
and Tor twenty years prior under the
firm name Of Matzner & Cramer, he has
conducted one of the largest retail bus
iEees ventures in Kemper County, and
has made 1t a success. This experience
has given HIM an insight into the char
acter and affairs of the men with whom
the Bank OF Kemper is likely to have
Cealings which cannot fail to prove of
great advantage to that institution. IL
is doubtful if a better selection could
have been made for the head OF a inan-
clal concern in this county, and we be-
lieve the stockholders of the bank have
"the right man in the right place."
The vice president, Mr.. M. f. Ward,
while he has not been a resident of this
section for many years, has established
during his sojourn among our people a
reputation for progressiveness, business
sagacity and straightforward honesty
second to none His also was a good
selection.
Mr.. Ben r. K~uykendall, cashier, for
five years filled 'he position OF assistant
cashier in the Farmers and Merchants
Bank at Hickman, KY, and for a uum-
Der OF years prior to coming to Scooba
was cashier of the bank at Dawson
Springs, in that State. His experience
has equipped him well for the duties of
his position, and since casting his ior-
tunes with us he has evinced a pro-
gressive spirit which speaks volumes
for his usefulness as a citizen of the
community.
OF the other members of the Board
OF Directors-Messrs. James NJ. Duke,
B. s. Neville, Charles Rosenbaum and
K. M. Quarles are well and favorably
known throughout Kemper Comfy as
conservative and successful business
men; Mr.. G. q. Wade is the vice-pres-
ident and one of the principal stock
holders of the Surfower Lumber Co.,
and a man of large business experience,
and Mr.. w. P. Holland Is the cashier of
the Planters Bank at Clarksdale, Mise,
and is recognized as one of the most
astute and clear headed bank officials
in the State.
No better directorate could be had
Tor a business venture than the present
one of the Bank of kemper, aud it is to
be hoped that it will receive that hearty
support which every movement for the
upbuilding and advancement of the
section is entitled to.

A JAPANESE SPEECH

To the world at large speech which was de-
llvered recently by Count Sazak. the president of
Toxic College has quite different significance than
IL has 10 the people Of Japan among whom ii has
created sensation The Japanese interpret its
meaning from what it directly says while what it
conveys is OF decidedly more meaning 10 the people
OF other countries.
Count Sazaki explained Japan's success in the
present The reasons for Iapaus superiority
over Russia are, in his opinion, three. They the
better education the domestic virtues and the higher
intelligence Of the japanese. The better education
he believes 10 be responsible for intense love of
country. The home ties are the source of dcvout
patriotism. The intelligence Of the japanese sol
dicrs begets initiative which makes every fighter Il
unit.
Education is potent agent in developing and
expressing PATRIOTISM. Yet it is not the potent ele
ment thai good government is. And any compiri-
between Japan and Russia must not only take
into account the Japanese value OF education but
the Russian Interpretation Of justice. The Russian
inferioriiy is not due education in Japan or to
lack of education in Russia, but particularly to
the Inspirations for patriotism in Japan and to the
impediments 10 patriotism in Russia. Neither is
Russian nferorty attributable TO any distinctions
in domestic virtue. as there is doubt that Russia
is not excei!ed in this respect. AS the behavior
Of the soldiers Of the two armies. ii is likely that, if
the Russian soldiers lagsard, The trouble is in
fervorless patriotism.
Therefore the speech Of Count Sazaki is interest
ing large rather for what it conveys than what II
says Facts opposed TO the Counts explanations
of japan's superiority But the speech implies that
Japan has Ideals in education and patriotism which
surely point 10 brilliant national prospects.
The speech concuslvely intimates that the peo-
l .- In, .Eny-

virtue and Of patriotism They appreciate the pllr-
poses of progressive government. They see that.

THE PUBLIC MUSEUM.

Favored with even greater success than the most
sanguine projectors had locked for the st. Louis
Public Museum will start one Of the best rel
iquaries in the United States From the Worlds
Fair it has acquired and priceless articles be-
sides numerous objects which a general museum
ought to have and its equipment consequently will
be from the beginning, up to a very high standard
- While the liberalty Of prominent citizens gave
the most substantial encouragement to the enter
prise and practically preassured success it is also
that the friendliness Of the representatives Of
foreign Governments, In securing valuable material,
was a real inducement. The disposition Of Com
missonsrs to signify appreciation for st. Lonss
part in conducting the Worlds Fair unquestionably
contributed to the quality and comprehensiveness,
and, therefore, the character, which the museum
takes on ut once.
The establishment Of the public museum is an
other actual indication Of the effectiveness of op-
perfume harmony Of action. Through public spirit
and Leadership St. Louis has realized from the
Worlds Fair the nucleus Of n great museum in
addition to high-cass art museum. The success
attending both plans ought to be a stimulus 10 all
public and semipublic enterprises.
