An.exchange aptly describes how
Old Greene and the other timber
counties are rightfully coming into
their own:
Tho present prospect of the south
and Mississippi is only the dawn of
q new era when our beloved state is
to come into her rightful possessions.
Only few years back the chronic
kickers and professional soreheads
could see nothing good at all in the
piney woods sections of central and
south Mississippi. The phenomenal
development of these sections in the
way of wealth and population has
been revelation to them, indeed,
and the end is not yet.

The State farms cleared about
$l00, 900 last year. This beats max
ing the taxpayers support the con-
victs in idleness, and is far better
ahan leasing them out to unmercifuI
contractors. Mississippi's solution
of the convict problem is about as
near perfect as it can be, and there
should Re no tampering with the
management by the legislature. 1t
took years to bring the system up TO

Attorney General VIM. Williams
very properly turns down as merest
tommyrot, this Judgeship bugaboo.
That Gov. Longino's appointments
were intended for the unexpired
terms to which they went, has been
too clear all along to admit of any
controversy, except from some dirty
political capitalists, who delve inter-
deep in the miro of prejudice.

"A PLEA. y

AT the eleventh hour Greene Coun-
ty was Sc we'd with the customary
sauce, which has been its lot to have
dealt out by the Circuit Judges Of
this District from time immemorial.
Judge W. T. Mcdonald notified the
officers Of the Court here that the
Term which should have been held
beginning next Monday, was prefer
mitted, assigning as his reasons, that
the Senate had passed Bill chang
ing the time for holding the Circuit
Courts etc, which measure would
probably be adopted by the House by
the end of the week. as the Legisla-
ture closes its present session on the
18th inst.
The calling off Of Regular Term
of Court after the Jurors, witnesses
and litigants have all been served
with notices to appear, is quite Sc
rious thing, and one that means not
only the incurrment of an expense
upon the County which might be
avoided, but great inconvenience
and vexation to our people. In a
county where but little of it can be
reached by immediate communica-
ton, it's impossible to officially get
word to all that their presences will
not be required.
First one pretext and then anoth-
er has been used by the successive
Presiders on the bench to avoid hold
ing as many terms of Court in Greene
County as the law required during
their several tenures of office. Hith-
ertofore considering our geographi-
cal isolation, We have patiently
bourne with such Sights, but now
when we have trains pulling into our
county seat daily, bringing mail fresh
from all parts, together with tele-
phone and telegraphic communication
always available, seems to us. that
our rights should have more serious
considerations at the hands of our
Honorable Judges. What was once
dismissed with but passing thought
is now regarded as grievance by
the people of the county, which was
at one time, SO far behind the pro-
cession of Progress, that it did not
reckon or care for the prompt hold
ing of its Courts twice annually. The
business of the Courts have grown
with the general development of the
county, and it is just Us necessary
now to us that we have our dockets
unloadcd regularly, as it is to any of
the ncighboring hustling counties.
We do not mean to say that Judge
Mcdonald might not have been plac-
ed in the awkward position of hold
ing an illegal Term of Court, had he
gone along and attempted to do SO
on the day booked without having
awaited himself of any assurance from
the Governor or the House that the
bill would be held up till he did so.
We are quite aware that it might
have ere that time TRANSFERRED, that
the bill to which he referred would
have been stamped upon our Statute
Books as the governing law, but it
does occur to US, that an effort could
at least have been made to delay the
adoption Of the bill till the last
and thus save our county
some money, our people a great deal
of annoyance, and at the same time
not have interfeared with the plans
and working of the Legislature. Per
haps though the information we have
may not give us the clear insight in
TO the matter that the Judge has
Lad, and to us what may appear as
negligent upon his
part, may be at the last, the best of
wisdom all round

Some Reasons
Why Hi Henry Loves Mississippi

In his recent memorable World S
Fair Speech before the Mississippi
Legislature, Col. r. H. Henry, State
Commissioner of Mississippi, and the
distinguished editor for many years
of that Grand Old Sheet, The Clarion
Ledger, closed with the following
perioration:
/ love Mississippi and her peo-
pie. They have been as gentle
mother to me, overlooking my short
comings and applauding feeble cf-
forts. All am Or ever hope to be
owe to them l was born IN the dear
old state, have lived there all my life,
from childhood to youth and middle
age, and expect to spend the balance
of my days within her borders.
love Mississippi. love it for,
its splendid people and their great
achievements;
For its glorious history and proud
traditions;
For its genial climate and balmy
breezes;
For its fertile fields and vcrdant
valleys;
For its green trees and wild flow
ers;
For its blue skies and singing
birds;
For its gurgling brooks and spark
ling streams;
For its grand, gallant and patriot
ic men;
For its pure, noble and beautiful
women.
And when life's fitful fever is over
and am called to cross the silent
river, ask no greater boon, / crave
no grander privilege, desire no
ioftier honor, than to be permitted
to sleep in the generous bosom OF its
sacred soil.

Was made his welded wife ycstcren;
The monarch may forget the crown.
