LESSONS FROM THE TRIAL OF THE
POAG MOB.

The acquittal, at Holly Springs, on
Aronday, of foHr members of the mob
1r whom Sheriff Poag Of Tate county
as killed, was no surprise to us but
rs indeed a very severe impeachment
Of the criminal statutes Of Mississippi
and the reverence of u people for
constituted authority. These men,
~e believe, all confessed to having
E1eer members of the party that sur
weEGilously banded themselves togeth-
ev TO do an unlawful thing. They
claimed that, after reaching the Jail
aud finding Poag was not going to
easily submit to their intrusionS, their
great friendship for him prompted
them TO leave, and as they were leav-
45ug they were fired upon by him ana
eaeq returned the fire which caused
his death. Now the amazing thing
Is. shat our criminal statutes are SO
srapeed that any such testimony
s{2vssld have been allowed to go to the
Jury in such a manner as to have had
= accommodating influence in shaping
El2efr verdict. If these men could not
e convicted of being members of a
sob, there is no use of attempting to
convict anybody OF any set of men
On a similar charge. 1t would be
= useless waste of time and energy out
side Of the cost incurred.
If the good people Of Mississippi
ysant crime suppressed and lawless-
-ess punished, they must rise up in
Gleir might and demand the mOdifica-
aigH Of our criminal laws SO that the
great number of shields and technical
tiles that protect criminals may be
removed and that the laws be so plain
as to admit the real facts and circum.
stances pertaining to the commission
df crime going to a jury.
Would it not be well for us to ask our
selves: Do our acJions show that we,
rs a people, desire to teach a rever'
ssnce for constituted authority and
STAT we really desire the apprehen'
sion and suppression Of the law
breaker?

1t is being suggested by quite a
number Of papers in the northeastern
part of the state, that Hon. w. NJ.

next governor. He'll be the next gov

The above from Brother Clark is
timely put The Hon. Earl Brewer
will be a contingency with whom ma
ny of the would be aspirants for the
high office Of governor will have to
deal and no small foe will they lind
him. He is a power On the huStings

him is to feel confidence in the man,
confidence that in all things OF trust
he will be true to the interest impoS-

THE BATTLESHlp MISSISSIPPI.

THE battleship Mississippi is to be
Launched at Philadelphia on Septem-
Der 3oth, and ere long THE Mlssis-
Ssppi'' will be a real live potent fac

Governor Vardaman will he unable
80 be present on that occasion, but
,%alas designated Senator Money to rep
resent the state, and the Senator's
granddaughter, Miss Mable Money,
gill act as sponsor for the occasion
and will christen.the vessel.
The launching of this vessel, which
ftss to be one of the greatest battle
ships of the navy, is an event highly
important to the people Of Mississippi
.1nd will cause our people to feel a
.Geen personal interest in the affairs
.1f Che navy and realize. more thar
ever, that we are a very important
ucomponent part of the citizenship OF
GniS great country. We are proud OF
abe fact that the vessel is to be named
Mississippi, and we hope and believe
Gbc legislature will provide a silver
service in keeping with the size OF
lGhe vessel and the dignity of our state.
Every state, which has had a battle
ship named for her, has provided a
silver service and Mississippi cannot
afford to do otherwise.
We do not know how many enlisted
,gsren and officers Mississippi has in the
navy, and are unacquainted with the
5rales of the navy, but we hope it viii
.&se possible to largely officer 1.-THE
Mississippi" with our own people and
dor us to furnish a large per cent OF
che crew.
We hope that the vessel may have a
sgceat career. That il war comes, she
quay carry the flag to a glorious vic
a0aEy, but we would prefer, that by
.girtue of her strength and power and
ssf the greatness of the state for which

CHEAP MONEY uNTAxED.

The Meridian Star makes a very
wise suggestion for the consideration
of the next legislature with reference
the leaning of money at six per
cent or less, and we desire to give our
most hearty approval of the view it
expresses. This, or a similar propo-
sition, has, if we mistake not, several
times before been offered in the legis-
lature, but the pressure was always
strong enough to strangle it before
life was breathed into it.
Taxes are SO high, in many quar-
tiers, that money seeks a hiding. Ii
a law were enacted exempting all
money loaned at even eight per cent
or lower from taxation, a great slim
illus would be given to enterprises anc
many dollars would find their way
into the channels of business that are
now doing duty otherwise. The
money lender would be benefited ant
above all, the borrower who general!
"pays the freight" regardless of rat'
or amount, would reap more Target.
of the fruits of such legal enactment
Mississippi has plenty of money ant
we should encourage it's holder to plac'
it in the hands of all classes, whethe
it be the small borrower or the on
who purposes to launch an extensiv'
enterprise.

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases
of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A good Eminent and one
that is fast becoming a favorite if not
a household necessity is Chamberlain'S
Pain Balm. By applying it promptly
to a cut, bruise or burn it allayS the
pain and cluses the injury to heal in
about one-third thes time usually re-

CHEERFULNESS.

Every poison has it's antidote, and
the one that never fails to give relief
in emotional poisoning, is laughter,
Laughter, or that pleaSureable tone of
feeling which is an expression of it, is
not only an antidote for depressing
emotions but it is a most effective
preventative of these emotional dis
plays, and is also a far better tonic to
the entire body than any pharmacist
can compound.
The art Of being cheerful is one
that any one can cultivate and deyel-
op to a most effective degree. 1t is
easy enough to smile when everything
looks bright and the world smiles with
you, and it is very difficult to be cheer
full when undergoing your most severe
| OrdealS. Do not expect too much
from your efforts, at first. Begin
| with being cheerful under the more
| trifiing lannoyances. Control your
self In the ~llesser vexations and you
will gradually become master Of your
self in the most evere Ordeals.

WOMAN IN THE HOME.

In the home woman occupies a pO-
SitiOn Of unlimited power and influ-
ence, if she but knew it,. Nowhere
else can she exert such an influence
upon the life of the nation and the
world at large. The moment she
leaves the home in search OF power
she leaves the sphere where her great
est power resides. One of the sad
deSt and most menacing signs OF the
times, to our mind, is the neglect OF
the home Of life, the ease with which
divorces are granted, the way in
which children are allowed to grow up
on the streets, to be out at all. hours
| of. the night to seek pleasure away
from home.
Today there is a tendency for
woman to look upon the cares OF
domestic life as irkSOme. There is a
growing desire to appear in public
life. The quiet home life is too une'
ventful, too humdrum. Children are
d nuisance because they tie the moth
er down.
Any movement which tends to wea.
ken the family tie, to break up the
home life is dangerous in the extreme,
In the home and at the mothers knee,
love for home, love for country, love
for righteousness and truth must be
instilled. In the home at the moth
er's knee, the men who have beer the
worlds greatest leaders have been
trained. In the home, at the moth
er's knee, good men, strong men,
righteous men, patriotic men, the
men upon whom the deStinies of the
human race depend, in whom lie the
strength and enthusiasm of a nations
life. in the home these men are rear
| ed and nowhere else. To meet I'll {
crisis which may arise at any time in
the life of a country like our own, we
must always have a vast reserve OF
patriotism, good citizenship,
sound morality and honest statesman
snip. ready at hand to summon at
moments notice. All this we must
have to preserve the nations life,
And all this depends almost entirely
upon woman's influence in the home.
It is woman who saves and preserves
the nations life. 1t always must be
so in the future as in the past, not by
voting, merely, but by patient devo.
| tion TO her duty in the home and fam
ily. by bringing up her children to be
trusted, relied upon TO do the right
| thing under any circumstances, al
any cost.

At At the Congregational church
Sunday night the pastor in discussing
the city problem to the satisfaction OF
the audience, said in part;
when the fathers of the country
gave to us the constitution there were
no large cities on this continent, They
devised ways and means for the govern
ment Of the republic and the various
states, but they did not give to us u
system that would meet present day
conditions in our city government, They
did not solve this problem, but II is
one that will have to be solved by the
inhabitants OF each city today.
AT the time OF the birth OF our ma
ton We did not have over half a dozen
cities with population of 5000 people
In $500 We had 4i3. In lS0a three per
cent of the people lived in the cities
Today more than thirty per cent and 1t
is largely ON the increase. From 1850
to 1890 our cities increased in popula'
ton u per cent while the rural dis
tricts increased but II per cent, The
causes for this are economic and can not
be retarded. The increase will 20 on
until the cities will eventually control
the eouatry, as they are doing in many
places now. The first causes are the
application of machinery to agricultural
horticultural, and many other fields
A special agent OF the government re-

four men do the work that required

tation from country to city. and most
important, making it possible to feed

The problems Of government increase
with population. As city becomes
more populous the relations whose
harmony must be preserved become
more complex, 1t is in the city that our
relations are closest and most compli'
Gated. It is there that the mal-adjust'
ments Of society create the sorest fric'
tion. II il in the city. therefore, where
the well developed social conscience Is
