A BRILLIANT SUGGESTION.

A valued exchange, the Yazoo City
Herald, as recalled, which seems to
equally admire and esteem Congress
man williams and Gov. Vardaman, is
disturbed and torn up in it's mind,
because of the possible fact that
they may become opposing candi-
dates for the United States Senate to
succeed Senator Money; and that it
would consider little less than q pub
lilo calamity, or more. 1t could be
"happy with either were tother dear
charmer away and in order to
obviate embarrassment that must arise
with both in race for the Money sue
cession. it proposes what it considers
bright and happy solution to relieve
the trouble and difficulty that looms
up before it-that one the gentlemen
named become candidate to succeed
Money and that the other succeed
McLaurin, intimating that cam
paign of this kind, fought on the right
and left wings, would crumble up Nc
Laurin in the back and force him to
acknowledge defeat.
No one will deny the unique or
iginality of this suggestion, or the
brilliancy of the conception, and there
is only one little thing necessary to
carry it into successful execution
the consent of McLaUrin.
This valued exchange is evidently
laboring under mental hallucination.
an erroneous impression that the legis.
lature of 1908 will elect two United
States Senators, one as the successor
of Money and the other to succeed
McLaurin, which is mistake. Mon.
ey's successor will be elected at the
regular term of the legislature of 1908
while the successor to McLaurin will
not be elected till 1912.
Then unless there should be very
great change in public sentiment.
some untoward event occur, or a re-.
signation be forthcoming, !. stronger
combination than the one suggested
will be necessary to defeat. and shelve
your ''Uncle Anse," who has never
been downed in political fight in
Mississippi. If he desires reelection
in 1912, he can come mighty near
getting it, with or without opposi-
tion, for he is the strongest man in
public life to-day in Mississippi, and
will only retire from office by his
own voluntary act
While the names of the two gentle. |
men only are so far mentioned in con-
nection with the Money succession,
the election is a long way off, and it
is by no means certain that other
aspirants may not express desire to
strive for this high honor, as any
qualified elector over thirty years of
age is eligible.
There may be other Richmonds in
the field. The entris are not closed,
and there is no patent or corner on
the Senatorial contest Clarion Led

The swindling schatchen has two
possible methods of procedure. 1t de-
ponds upon his nerve as to which he
adopts. If he be a brazen specimen,
he will advertise himself frankly as
a schatchen, and Abring as many men
and girls together as possible, ask
ing a commission for his services. The
men are always picked from his own
band, and the same man will marry
and rob half dozen girls before he
decides to leave town and try new
field of activity.
The other method is more subtle,
and infinitely more dangerous. Here,
again, we find the band, the swindiing
broker, the trusting girl and the black
leg prepared to marry as many wom-
en- as he can conveniently pauperize in
a limited space of time. But in this
case the marriage broker is less cour-
ageous, and hides his nefarious trade
behind the screen of some legitimate
and blatently advertised business.

THE STORAGE OF APPLES.
A Bulletin of the New York Agricul-
tural Station Which Is Full OF
Helpful Hints.

To decide properly to which kind oil
storage the grower or buyer shall send
his fruit requires the best of judg
ment, for many factors must be con-
sidered in making the choice and upon
their just balancing will depend, to
quite an extent, the profit or loss in
handling the crop. Growers, general
ly, are more interested in storage thfu
year probably than ever before; for
there seems to be q deadlock between
growers and buyers on the question
of price; and many orchardists have
determined to hold their crops them
selves rather than to sell them at
prices which promise little profit. To
all such growers, to those who usual
ly hold more or less Of their fruit fer
winter sale or home use, and to the
buyers who must plan for the best
keeping Of the purchased fruit, Bulte-
tin No. 24S of the New York agricul-
tural experiment station, at Geneva,
will be of interest and value, suggests
the Ohio Farmer. 1t discusses critic

storage building, with notes upon most

tical storage men. The bulletin will

Types of His Clients.
His clients are practically all Yid-

trust a Gentle sufficiently to have
with him or her business dealings of
so delicate and intimate nature. The
type? Come with me to Riverton
street, and stand on the corner where
Norfolk crosses it. Watch the girls
go by. They are pretty in a gentle
foreign way. They wear their hair
low on theiEGecks and very loosely ar
ranged. One and all have white worst
ed shawls wrapped about their slightly
bent shoulders. Their figures are full,
their steps heavy. They have the hall
marks of the working woman, the
beast of burden writ large upon their
patient faces and STOPPING backs.
