A Neat Compliment

Congressman Ben Humphreys, OF
Mississippi, should feel compIimented
over the fact that he is to have no op-
position. A primary was called and
opportunity afforded any one desiring
to contest for the honor to come for
ward No one appearing, the Ex-
ecutive Committee very properly
called the primary off and declared
Mr., Humphreys the nominee.
The remarkable part Of 1t, and the
one that shows a change in public
sentiment is that Mr.. Humphreys has
always been a gold,qtandard man and
great admirer Of the Sage of Prince.
ton. To be either of these was to he
not at all popular some years ago.
The Democrat who did not abuse
Cleveland and advocate free silver
had rather a hard time of it. Mr..
Humphreys is fortunate in the turn
which public sentiment has taken,
and as member of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee he seems des-
tined for long ccreer of usefulness.

STATES
FINANCES
Mississippi Faces Deficit of
5000, 900 Says Col.
Street.

Jackson, Miss, Aug S.--Col. H.
NJ Street Of Meridian has been 'fiQ.
gering' little on the States finan.
cial condition. and has made it out
that Mississippi is facing a deficit of
$500, 900. That is nothing more nor
less than what this correspondent has
been contending several months, and
does not canse any surprise here. That
IS Just what caused the Legislature to
authorize the Governor tn issue half
million dollars worth of bonds and
to borrow 5000, 600 if it was needed.
Mississippi spent her money building
a new capitol without the issuance
of dollars worth Of bonds - though
a million dollars worth were author
lied issued, and at last she has been
forced to issue bonds to pay current
expenses. The school teachers Of the
State are patiently awaiting the June
distribution, now two months late.
But what Col. Street directs spec-
lal attention to is the inequality in
Che manner of the distribution OF the
school furGs. He finds that 20 coun-
ties are now receiving from the State
Treasury ON account of their schools
s76, $780, 73 more than they pay into
the treasury on all accounts. He also
finds that there are 30 other couutias
that pay into tie State strong box
III, 75l.05 more than they get out Of
The same on account of their schools.
This leaves, according TO Col. Street,
'S counties to support the government
md which is very unfair and unjust
ystem of division.
The Legislature has fought and
vrangled over this problem, these
many years, but the solution is no
learer at hand now than when atten-
ion was first called to the inequality.
The fact OF the business is that it has
'rown worse since the hill counties
ucceeded in forcing the black coun-
Use, (the latter being the heaviest
ax-payers) to let the poll taxes re-
1ain in the county where collected,
nd no account be made Of said tax in
he matter of school fund distribu-
ion.
Col. Street is threshing old straw,
ut it is worth the while, as all those
ounties which pay in more than they
ct out will readily agree.

Money Earned By Convicts

jackson, Miss, Aug. 5.-The Sec
retary OF the penitentiary Board of
Control has prepared a statement of
the receipts and the expenditures of
several farms that are rented or leased
by the State, and which in view of
the fact that the Board of Control is
contemplating change in the system
of convict employment is of interest.
once the convicts are employed on
land that belong to the state and the
rental leaks are stopped, the State
will make twice as much money off
the fifty convicts that are now en-
ployed ON each of the rented places.
The figures are taken for a period of
five years, and ending with the first
of last July, but the totals only are
given. showing that on some of the
farms good money has been made,
while on others the profits have been
very small for 50 long a time as five
years.

none among them which has made
more progress during the past few
years or has met with greater success
than the State University at Oxford
The development of this school dur.

plan that required patient efforts to
achieve results. The results are most
gratifying. as not onlv the attendance
materially increased but the percent

growing also, the graduates at the
close of the last session having reach.

New Jewellery Store

10 give the city modern, up to- now
jewellery establishment, at 2O3 Wash
ington avenue, another step towards
metropolitanism: another move in
the right direction. Greenville mer
cha ndising is to receive a fresh i'm
petus and reach out still further in
the ricn surrounding territory for ad-
ditional trade.
Mr.. Klein has spared neither time
nor money in giving Greenville the
prettiest and most up to date whole
sale and retail jewellery house in
the state of Mississippi.
The Times is right glad to welcome
this innovation, for it means added
laurels to Greenville's already most
handsome wreath as a trade center
and will give to our Citizens another
first class shopping market from
which beautiful and useful personal
adornments and necessarys may be
purchased.
Mr. Klein promises all who favors
him with a visit sight of the most
thorough and comprehensive stock of
diamonds, silver ware, cut
glass, Roman and Grecian statuary
and jewelry of every description.
Mr.. Klein has purchased very
beautiful and useful souvenirs which

Meritiorious Services Appreciated

Col. j. T, Fargason, of Memphis,
on last week balanced up his plant
ing and mercantile interests in Goa
homa county for the year 1903, and
so pleased was he with the splendid
showing made by his managers, that
he presented each of them with two
months extra salary. In doing this
Col. Fargason displayed both liber.
ality and good business judgment, in
that he demons rated to his employees
that he appreciated their efforts in his
behalf and was willing to reward
their meritorious services in sub
|stantial way. His generosity to his
managers, who rank with the most
efficient business men in the county,
will stimulate them to renewed en-
ergy. and will in the end but rebound
to his financial benefit, for the reali-
zation that ones services are appre-
ciated is one of the greatest incentives
known to the employe.
Mr.. j. j. Henry, formerly of the
Stone and Fort Dunleith place of this
county, is in charge of the Glover
Hill plantation of Mr.. Fargason. Mr..
Henry is not only one of the best
managers in the delta, as he has
pleven, but one of the best men, Mr..
Fargason can congratulate himself in
his valuable services
Times and his host of friends rejoice
in his continued success.
