GOV. vARDAMAN TO BE COMMENDED.

Gov. Vardaman deserves the
thanks and commendation CT the
people of the State fer the decid-
ed stand be has taken against the
further working of the States
Econvicts on private farms. It is
to be hoped the injunction pro-
eeedings to restrain the Penitentia-
ry Board of Control from leasing
the McLaurin Sandy Bayou plan
tation, which are to come up for
hearing before Chancellor Mayes
tomorrow, will be sustained and
the injunction made perpetual.
With the State owning four
large convict farms of its own,
capable Of extensive development
and Improvement, there is no rea-
sonable Justification for the
Board of Control longer farming
on shares with private land
owners, as is proposed in the Mo
Laurin case,
In 1890. hearty IS years ago,
the people of Mississippi in Con
stitutional Convention, abolished
the infamous leasing system and
by that act condemned the further
working of the States convicts on
private farms, then much in
vogue, and it seems to US it is
high time the Penitentiary Board
of Control were showing a proper
regard for the Constitution and
carrying out this mandate Of the
people in good faith. State Sena-

)Wlng IS the report,
Grand Jury Report,

To the Hon. Nj. H. Wilkinson,
Judge of the 9th Judicial Dis
trict of Mississippi:
We, the grand jury empaneled
by the court for the November
term Of the Circuit Court of Lin
coin county, beg leave to submit
our final report.
We have been in session for
twelve days. We have returned
81 true bills of indictment; igner-
ed 10 cases and continued 4 cases,
examined 1S0 witnessses.
In our opinion there is a slight
improvement throughout the
county in the observance of law
and order. The great majority of
the crimes and misdemeanors re-
ported to US are due to the use of
whisky by the young men of the
county, We have indicted every
man reported to us for drunken
ness in a public place, where the
evidence justified 1T. We believe
that whisky and pistols impose
the heaviest tax upon our people
than all other things combined,
and that they cause more demoral-
lzation than every other source of
crime combined. We find a
healthy and lively opposition to
these things which will result in
sappresslng them. The people
who love the law have helped US
to find the violators, and will help
the District Attorney to convict.
Wholesale drunkenness and pistol
toting cannot long endure if our
best people will stand by the law
and the court.
We feel proud of all of our Off
GERS; they all seem to be doing
their full duty. Here and there
some minor officer gets out of line,
but in the main their work is
commendable. The court house
and Jail are in good condition.
Our county farm is we'll managed
and is prosperous. The books of
the officers of the county are neat
ly and accurately kept.
We thank the court, the Dis
trict Attorney and other officers
for their prompt and valued as
lsistance. And now having done
our duty to the best of our ability
and understanding, we ask to be
finally discharged.

Foreman.

MENTAL POWERS IN DISEASE.


Professor James Rowland Angel, in
The World Today writes about the
cures effected by what Is sometimes
called mental therapy, BY this is
meant the various methods employed
by mesmersts, hypnotists, Christian
Scientists, and other healers who only
employ mental agencies. This kind Of
treatment he claims, has proved it.

Many other diseases are also obstinate

diseases in which mental methods are
efficient, according to this writer, are
those in which the nervous system Is
implicated.
