Only One Chance to Do Good.

The following sentiment has been
variously attributed to Stephen Grel.
'et, Sir Rowland Hill and to Edward
Courtenay and the earl of Devon, and
is said to have been inscribed upon
the tombstone of the latter: 81 ex-
pect to pass through this world but
once. II. therefore, by any kindness
I can show or any good thing l can
do any fellow being, let me do It now.
Let me not defer it nor neglect It,
for shall not pass this way again"

NEW SHORT STORIES
A wonderfuI wine Expert.

At the aeronautical dinner that John
Brisben Walker recently gave in New
York to Professor S. p. Langley the
talk during one course turned to wines.
Santos-Dumont declared his belief in
the wine experts power. and he told in
French an episode that supported his
belief.
"A friend of mine in Normandy" he
said, "has a superb wine cellar partic-
ularly noted for a bin of '73 Johannis-
berger that it contained. My friend
gave house party last year, and
among the guests there was an Eng
lishman who posed as connoisseur
of wines. But our host, doubling him,
determined to put his powers to the
test
Accordingly one evening before din
ner he sent to small shop in the vii
lage and got quart of red wine for 2
francs. This wine was served to the
English guest.
"'What do you think of it?' said the
host.
The Englishman tasted it, tasted it
again, shifted it carefully.
Excellent he said. Delicious. It
is your famous '73 Johannisberger, is it
not?
1t is vile mixture that bought
from a cheap shopk eeper for 2 francs,'
was the reply.
"Hereupon we all laughed loudly at
the Englishman. But he, though dis
cOmfted, was not convinced.
IF could see that shopkeeper,' he
murmured. There may be some err
ror. could never make such a mis-
take
"And accordingly the shopkeeper
was sent for, and our host before all of
us asked him where he had got that
wine.
''The man paled and trembled.
81 admit my guilt he said. I ad-
NIT that for some time past / have
been buying all my red wine from

CARPETBAG GOVERNOR
HON. R. G. POWERS WAS IN JACKSON
SUNDAY.
Served as Chief Executive Of Mississip-
pi after Resignation Of Gov.
AlcOrn.

Hon. r. G. Powers, who for a
brief time reigned as governor of
Mississippi during the recon
struction days, and is one of the
FIVE men now living who have
served as chief executive Of the
commonwealth, passed through
jackson yesterday returning to
his home at San Francisco, from
a trip to his former home at
Shuqualak, Noxubee county,
where he went on the sad mission
to convey the remains of his
mother, Mrs. Lucy A. Powers,
who expressed a dying wish to be
inferred in Mississippi soil.
There are quite number Of the
older citizens in jackson who Wv
idly remember Ex Gov. Powers,
and the part he played in the
eVentfuI history of Mississippi
during the first ten years after the
close of the civil war. He was
nominated in 1870 on the Repub-
Ilican ticket and elected Lieut.
Governor, going into Office at the
same time Gov. Alcorn assumed
the reigns as chief executive.
When Gov. Alcorn retired to
make the race for the United
States Senate Lieut-GoV. Powers
succeeded to the Office and served
| for a short time. lie was defeat
| ed for the nomination two years
later by the notorious carpetbag-
ger Adelbert Ames, and it is a
matter of deep regret, when view
led in the calm and impartial light
of history, that he did not defeat
Ames, as Gov. Powers was man
of strong character and would
doubtless have saved the State
many thousands Of dollars during
THE carpetbagger regime of pill
Iage and plumber.
E-xGoY. Powers is a native Of
Ohio, was educated in New York,
and enlisted In the Federal army
at the outbreak of the civil war.
He was mustered out at New Or
leans at the close of hostilities and
settled in Noxubee county, where
The purchased a large tract Of land
and made an attempt at farming,
but like all Northern men unfa-
miliar with negro labor, the ven
Iture was not success, and he
drifted into politics.
He entered the Governor s
office on the 30th Of November,
1871, and served until Adelbert
Ames was inaugurated on the End
of January 1874. When the car

THE CITY ELECTION.
A Change is Made in Several Important
Offices.


There was unusual interest in
the City election here yesterday,
and there was more general inter-
est manifested in the result than
for several years past. The con-
test over tie Mayors and Mar
shal's offices, and for Alderman in
every one of the four wards, was
spirited between the several can
didates and their friends. The
largest vote was cast which has
been polled in a city election since
the Constitution Of 1890 was
adopted.
The following is the vote ac-
cording to the official count last
night:
For Mayor: j. B. Daughtly,
155; r. d. Lanier, 205.
For Marshal: Stanley 7. Byrd,
100; Aaron Hurst, 203.
For City Treasurer: Chas.
Heuck, 202; John /. Marshall,
151.
For Alderman at large: P. q.
Jones, 207.
For Aldermen:
First ward, w. +. Parsons, 81;
FL. Cassidy, H..
Second ward, @. ii. Penn, %;
f. H. Hartman, 33.
Third ward, Chris. Larsen, 81;
Harry Tibbs, 38.
Fourth ward, f. A. Cameron,
AZ; Sam Abrams, 66.
This means that for the next
two years the city is to have Hon.
r. D. Lanier, the present incum-
bent, for Mayor; Aaron Hurst for
Marshal, Chas. Heuck for Treas
urer, and for Aldermen, Messrs.
w. r. Parsons, r. I'll. Hartman,
Chris. Larsen, Sam Abrams and

THREE OF THE SMITHS AND GILL
PLEAD GUILTY TO THE MURDER
Of HENRY LIST.
Sam POsey Pleads Guilty to Nhilecap-

way Robbery.
THE GRAND JURY IS STILL IN SES.
SION.

AS intimated In last Saturday S
Leader might be the case, the
three sons Of Brunt Smith, and his
son-in-law Aims Smith, and An
drew Gill, all Of whom we're i'm
plicated in the murder Of Henry
List in November, 1908, who have
been dodging the officers for sew
eral weeks, came into town last
Saturday night, went to Judge
Wilkinson, and signifed their
Willingness to plead guilty to the
Indictment against them and ac-
|cept the penalty of the violated
law.
The young men seemed to be
very submissive and penitent, and
expressed willingness to go
right on to the State Penitentiary
that night, if the Judge said so.
They were sent to Jail for the
time being, and on yesterday
morning, The three oldest Of the
Smiths and Andrew Gill were
formally arraigned before the
Court and entered plea Of guilty
to the Indictment and were then
returned to the jail to await the
sentence of the court, which has
not yet been pronounced.
On Monday Sam Posey was ar
raigned on an Indictment for
white Gaping and plead guilty,
but sentence has not yet been pro-
nounced against him. This was a
case where he posted certain type
written white cap notices on the
west side of the railroad last De
cember. Sam is also under in
dictment for robbing an Italian
fruit peddIer last winter, for
shooting into DR.. Graves resi-
dence last September and for
white cap conspiracy.
The grand jury is still in ses-
sion and the date Of its final adj
iournment is yet indefinite.
The following cases have been
passed upon by the Court since
our last report:
State VS., Monroe Nations Plea
Of guilty on a charge of shooting
on the public highway, and fined
SIS and costs.
State VS.. Noah johnson Ap-
peal dismissed and writ Of proce-
dendo ordered.
State VS.. John McNUlty The
Indictment in this case was for
murder. The killing Of Edmund
jackson BY the defendant grew
out of a game of dice in which
McNulty. jackson, and one other
negro were the participants. The
cause of the trouble was dispute
about a dollar that McNulty
claimed jackson owed him. The
jury that tried the case thought
chat McNulty was guilty of muir
der and fixed his penalty at life
imprisonment in the penitentiary
and the judgment was so entered.
State VS.. Sam Posey Charged
with robbery, and the jury re
turned verdict of guilty as
charged. The prisoner was sent
to jail.
The case Of the State VS.. John
Herring charging the defendant
with murder, was continued to
the next term Of court.
The case Of the State VS.. Will
Lee, charging the defendant with
assault and battery with intent to
kill and murder was continued to
next term of court.
