merriment that the time passed all
too quickly. Delicious refreshments

FOOD ron REFLECTION.
Continued from ilrSt pa "a.

ters. d man whom Senator Lamar
and Governor Stone deemed
worthy Of their unlimited conf
dence, and to whom their friend
ship, personal and political, was
so freely extended and SO cordial
~ reciprocated BY Mr.. Wilson
whose pen-eulogy Of these lament.
ed Mississippians is SO well re-
membered.
Our people must deal with sit
uations as they exist. Mr.. Wilson.
has the ear and the confidence Of
President Roosevelt. We must
not for that reason embarrass him
in his efforts, and we have no
doubt be will make them, to con-
tinue To render valuable service
to his native State. Why should
be not earnestly endeavor, from
his point Of advantage, to serve
the State of his birth and the peo-
pie to whom he belongs and Of
whom he is oneg We cannot
think from the mans history,
from the condolences which have
been reposed in him BY great Mis-
sissippians who have known him
we'll, that he would do anything
which he did not honestly believe
was for the good Of our people.
Mr.. Wilson's position is unique,
and one of great responsibilities,
but the writer is not mistaken in.
the man. Mr.. Wilson would in
stantIy cease to be the adviser Of
the president did be not feel and
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt's inten-
tions are kindly to our people and
he hopes to be Of aid to the people
among whom he was reared
BY continuing his relationship to
the chief executive Of the nation.
Another thing; the appointments
to federal positions in this State
/ by the present National admins
tration have been superior, gener-
ally speaking, to those made By.
former executives and they have
been scarcely criticized, even dur
| ing the late presidential campaign.
Mr.. Wilson deserves credit for
this.
The point to all of the above:
We can accomplish no good BY
abusing the president, and even if
we were without shadow Of hope
of good in him or his intentions,
this abuse ought to cease for our
own good. We should uphold
Mr.. Wilson as the presidents con-
fidential adviser, in his purpose
to accomplish all the good that
can be attained for our beloved
State and her .good people.

Thihes Worth KNOWING.

Some helpful hints in the ma
ture of remedies for emergency
cases:
For cold in the head nothing is
better than powdered borax snuff
ed up into the nostriIs.
Hot, dry flannel applied as hot
as can be endured alleYiates the
agonies of neuralgia.
Powdered rosin is The best
thing to stop excessive bleeding
from cuts. After the powder IS
sprinkIed on, wrap the wound
with a soft cotton cloth. As soon
ais the wound begins to feel fever
ish keep the cloth wet with cold
water.
For nose bleeding battle the
head, face and neck with very
cold water.
IF an artery is severed tie a
small cord or handkerchief tight
II above it.
Broken limbs should Be placed
in natural position, and the patient
kept quiet until the surgeon ar
rives.
Hemorrhages Of the lungs or
stomach may be promptly check
ed BY taking small doses Of salt,
the patient being kept as quiet as
possible.
For burns sweet oil and cotton
are standard remedies # these
are not at hand sprinkle the burn
ed part with -four and wrap loose-
II with d soft cloth. Don't re-
move the dressing until the IN
iiammation subsidies as It will

Yields His Life For Child.

Frederic j. Simmons, residing
two miles east of Tylertown, in
the southeastern portion of the
county, was killed by a falling
tree last Friday afternoon. He
was in his field, about fifty yards
from his home, bedding cane. A
heavy gale of wind came up and
blew tremendous tree in the di-
rection he was working. The tree
would not have struck him had he
remained stationary. He made
an effort to save one of his chill
dren, and was struck on the skull,
death being instantaneous. His
little boy, whom he tried to save,
had his arm broken. Simmons
wife witnessed the death of her
husband from her back porch.
He leaves, besides his wife, five
children. The funeral took place
Saturday afternoon under the au-
spices of the Woodmen of the
World. Deceased was n member
of the Woodmen and the Knights
and Ladies of Honor.
This is stated to have been the
third death last week caused By
falling timber. Two negroes were
killed near the Fernwood and
Gulf Railroad in that neighbor-
hood. Summit Sentinel.
The wonder is that there are
not more such accidents. Half
decayed, towering pine trees may
be seen all through southern Mis-
sissippi, with their gaunt arms
stretched out as though awaiting
an unheeding victim.

What a pity that the sane and
sensitive people of Texas do not
rise up and crush out this damage
suit business, placing the scala
wag attorneys engaged in it out
of the way of doing such great In
jury to the industrial development
of that Commonwealth It is.
safe to say that if the pressure ex-
erted by the attorneys who are in
strumental in inspiring and car
rying out these suits was removed
the damage suit industry would

Damage Suits and Railway Develop

Two distinctly marked tenden-
cies are observable in the effect
the damage suit industry of
Texas is having upon the railway
development Of that State. One
of these tendencies is retarda-
ton of railway extension by pre-
venting construction of new lines,
and the other is an increase in
freight charges, on live stock
shipments in particular.
As to the effect this damage
suit industry is having upon
railway extensions, the Railway
World is il receipt Of q communi-
cation from Vice-President and
General Manager Hamilton, Of
the Texas Central Railroad. He
calls attention to the widely cir
cuIated report that s'the Texas.
Central is to be extended from
Stamford, northwest to Amarillo,
a distance Of nearly 200 miles,
and states that his company has
no intention Of making extensions
as long as the conditions brought
about by the growth Of the dam
age suit industry continue to
exist. The industry is still
fiourishing, Vice President Ham
ilton says, and the epidemic of
suing railroads is becoming more
virulent every day
The question as to increased
freight rates was brought before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion by the New Orleans Live
Stock Exchange in its complaint
against the Texas and Pacific Rail-
way. Officials of the road claim
ed as Justification Of the advance
in the rate that the company was
compelled to Tecoup itself for the
unjust and excessive damage
claims Of Texas shippers with re-
spect to the shipment of live
stock. Commissioner Prouty, al
though he decides the particular
case against the railroad, is APP
parently In sympathy with the
view of its officials, for be says:
The fact, however, that claims
of that kind Unreasonable or un-
just damages are made in large
amounts, that such claims are Of
ten compromised by the carriers,
that when not compromised they
result in large Verdicts and that
as a consequence the carrier is
obliged to pay large sums for
damage to live stock in transit is
undoubtedly proper to be shown.
It is an incident IN the transporta-
tion of that commodity, which
may properly be taken into ac-
count BY The railway in establish
ing its tariff. If for any reason
these claims for damages have be-
come more frequent. than they
were formerly, without fault upon
the part If the railway, that
might be a reason for increasing
the rate. Our Impression is that
these claims for damages have
multiplied III recent years, and
that the amount which the defend
ant is obliged to pay on that ac-
count has Increased
The alarming and isgraceful
extend to which these unjust dam
years is Indicated BY the records
of The Texas Railroad Commits
sion. They show Chat the amount
81 nloney paid out by the mil
roads of that State on account Of !
reid aud alleged personal injuries
during the past thirteen years
reaches very nearly $40 900. 000 /

The shocking news came yesLer-
day that Miss Mary Mcintosh, Of

taken i'll with pneumonia last
Thursday and died Yesterday
morning, in spite Of all human
skill or aid. She was a grand
daughter of Mrs. E. A. Deceil, of
this city, and has large circle of
relatives living here. Miss Nc
Intosh was a most excellent young
lady and her death is deeply de-
plored. She was only % years of
age.
The Leader is informed that a
petition is being circulated by
his friends to prevail on Mr.. w.
E. Parsons to allow his name to
be used as candidate for alder
man in the 1st ward. No one was
more surprised to learn this than
was Mr.. Parsons himself, who at
first blush refused to run. After
due consideration, however, he
has decided that if his friends
elect him be will serve to the best
of his ability. Everybody knows
Mr.. Parsons record as President
of the Board Of Supervisors; and
he is just as much for good
streets and side walks and clean
back yards as he was for good
roads, iron bridges and good iails
as a member of the county legis-
Iature. His election would mean
Ia forward movement for the city
and we know of no one more gen
orally acceptable to our people.
