Burns, Best Poem.

II is said that boy was once asked
in the poets presence which Of Burns
works he liked best. After taking
thought with himself for a little he
declared that he liked the 'Cotter's
Saturday Night" by far the best. al
though" he added, ut made me greet
(cry) when my father babe me read It
to my mither."
This statement seemed to impress
Burns, for presently he said to the
lad, ''Weel, my Gallant (boy), it made
me greet, too, more than once when I
was writing 1t by my fathers frestde. /"

State is Ahead $4,000 as Result OF

Des Mones, Jan. 5. When the
governor and the auditor of state
checked up the state treasury they
found more than $1.15O,OOO in cash in
the vaults at the state house and in
banks to the credit of the state.
Nearly 100000 in bonds should be
added to this amount, and indicates
that the total trust in the hands of the
treasurer of state, the total money and
securities in the treasury, amounts to
$1,S14,293.11.
OF this sum s1,449,aO7.74 was found

1t draws 2 per cent under the ar
rangement between the banks and the

$4,000 year. This is made possible
by the recent general assembly au-
thorlzing the state funds to be de-
posted at interest.

Geneva, Jan. 5. - At a public sale
of timber on the farm owned by Frank

from $50 to $50 per acre. This Is the
highest price ever recorded for Timber

several times what the land would

timber are compelled to stand the ex-
ira expense of having it cut 1t is diff
cult to see how they can profit by the

There appears to be but little
doubt but that the salvation OF
the cotton planter depends on q
reduction of the acreage planted
III that crop. Allowing that the
crop for 1904-05 is as large al es
timated, after supplying all de
mands of the market there will
remain a surplus of a million and
q half or more bales as a starter
for the coming season. With
this fact before them, even a nor
nal crop in 1905-06 means low
prices and disaster to the cotton
planters. And we believe that
their only salvation lies in a re
duction of the cotton acreage.

THE COLD LAW i.

Sometime ago Jim W hitt in the most cold blooded manner killed Buster Thomson ia Tate county Miss. He was tried for his crime and found guilty of murder in the first degree. The case was taken to the supreme Court and reversed on a teehnicality. There was no occasion for violence of any kind, as Whit was almost certain to be convicted again; but half a dozen men living iu that neighborhood armed themselves with guns few days ago, covered their faces with masks and went to the Senatobia jail, for the purpose no doubt of taking Whit out and lyncbing him. Our readers are familiar with the rest of the story They know how Sheriff poag was shot down while defending his post. and how the people have been tracking his murderers for the last TWO days.
 Gov. Yardamau has shown him self vigorous enemy of lynchiug and white.capping. and we trust that he will use all his influence To have these murderers run down and punished to the full extent of The law. When crowd of au- gry men catch some black ravisher orred handed murderer, there k some palliation for their violation of the law. But when q criminal of this kind is placed in jaiI, where t IS the duty of the sheriff and the jailef to protect him, there is abso- lutely no excuse for any set of men 70 take .he law into their own hands, en.er the refuge which the law provides for all criminals un- der indictment, and compel officers of the law .to prove reereant to their trust or sacrifice their lives.
