japanese were ungrateful and ought to
be censured because they did not buy

Williams, Dimond e. Company's market
reports from San Francisco seem to
show that the preference Of the Japa-
nese is based on a real difference in
quality. Japan rice is quoted there
at $40 duty paid. That portion Of
the island rice raised from China seed
is quoted at $425, and the remainder at
from $2.75 to SO. No real relief can
come to the industry If those interested
in it persstently refuse to face the
real facts.

Judge A. G. Mayors Passes Away at His
Home in Brandon After Long Illness

Brandon, where he has since re-
sided, and in 1860 formed law
partnership with ex- Governor
Robert Lowry, whose tutor he
was, and with whom he re-
remained professionally associ-
ated for sixteen years. In 1876
he was appointed Circuit Judge
of the district by Gov. Stone,
and was "eappointed by Gov.
Lowry in 1882 and 1888. When
Gov. Stone again entered office
he reappointed Judge Mayors,
and the latter served on the bench
until 1896, when Gov. McLau-
rim appointed Judge John
r. Enochs as his successor, thus
bringing to a close a continuous
service of twenty years on the
bench.
Judge Mayors was man of
remarkable physical vitality, and
until a year or so ago retained an
elastic step, acute intellect and
wonderful energy. He possessed
a rugged constitution that many
men a quarter of a century
younger might we'll have envied.
Judge Mayors was presiding on
the bench during the famous
Hamilton trial of 1888, the defen-
dant being charged with the kill
ing of Roderick Gambrell, which
perhaps attracted more attention
than any criminal case in the
history of Mississippi.
Judge Mayors was married in
1848 to Mrs. Elizabeth G.. King of
Rankin County, who died in 1852,
leaving two children, who died
during the same year. In 1856
he married Miss Nancy L. No
Laurin of Covington County, by
whom he had four children, as
follows: Mary, wife of Olin Green
Of Meridian; Daniel, a merchant;
Henry, an insurance agent, and
Miss Mamie. He leaves a broth

cradle editor Of the Pascagoula

sIderafion.

The City Council met in reg
ular session Tuesday night and

work had under consideration the
matter Of sprinkling the streets

now paid, but of course there
must be several more miles of
streets to cover than at present.
The council has his proposition
under consideration and will like
