you never hear very many instances of
it. But such as the following are read
every day in the telegraphic reports:
Frank Lewis, prisoner in the federal

application for a pardon with the de,
partment OF justice at Washington last
December. He was suffering with
consumption. The pardon was issued
last week, but Lewis had died in

A baby was born at the parsonage
last Saturday night says one Of our
contemporaries. II was their first,
and the preacher dreaded facing the
congregation on Sunday morning il
they ehould find tout. SO he decided
to withhold the news until Monday
morning. Tue morning service was
opened, he prayed, read the scripture
lesson, and thu cnoir got up to sing.
The soprano started ON her solo: "For
unto us child is born" The pastor
colored and imagined every one loor-
ing at him. He dropped his eyes.
The alto took no the strain: "a child
is born, child Is born.'' Then the
choir sang in unison, repeating over
and over, so that no one had any
doubt that child had really been born.
"A choir keeps repeating and pegging
away alta proposition until you just
naturally feel what Il says must be- 90
or it wouldn't be 80 insistent. The
preacher, too, was fully convinced,
but " 8 willing to let II 60 at that.

ed, looked at the audience and said:
Il had intended keeping this quiet I'M
til to morrow, but the choir always get
on to the secrets some way or other.
But don't see anything wonderful
about child being born at the parson-
age" The levity was so great that
the congregation was dismissed and all
went over to see the cunning thing.

While the press of Mississippi 10 del
icate about criticising any of the ex
isting customs, now and then some
editor, who has lucid interval jumps
out to intimate that the present sys-
tem of working the convicts of the
state in competition with the farmers
does not seem just right and proper.
Five minutes reflection on the sub
ject cannot fail to convince any sane
man that the entire system is wrong
and detrimental to the best interest OF
all. Mississippi relies almost exclu-
sively upon its agriculture as source
Of revenue, barring the temporary
slaughter of the natural gift of God to
man, the timber, and it would be wise
if the entire press of the state should
inform the public of the imposition.
Have no fears but that the people
will act when they sec the proposition
in it's true light. For months now we
have been discussing means whereby
the acreage of the great staple in the
state might be cut down in order that
the price at which 1t might be held
would be fair and equitable. Yet, in
the face of this situation the hundreds
Of couvicts OF the state are used large
ly to produce that very staple. How
could these prisoners, these charges of
the state be otherwise used to aSprofit?
Simple enough. Listen: From the
organization of the state all have been
crying for better public roads. More
money has been expended during the
past fifty years for the improvement
of roads, than all the cotton and other
crops raised by the penitentiary in
mates of the state have sold for. The
proper solution is to withdraw the
state criminal as competitor in the
cotton field and put him upon the pub
lie works. Think this question over
some. It's sound.
