Senator McLaurin's Grip Was Above
Suspicion.

Il
United States Senator A. ).
McLauTin, of Brandon, was in
Jackson yesterday en- route to
Brookhaven, where he is engaged
as attorney in a railroad damage
suit pending before the Lincoln
county Circuit Court today.
After disenbarking from the
westbound A. & v. train and
making his way to the main depot
platform, Senator McLaurin drop
ped his capacious gripsack on the
platform and was Immediately
surrounded by a group Of lawyers,
preachers and private citizens
who happened to be at the depot
waiting for trains.
The senator's gripsack attracted
the attention Of one of his init :
mate personal friends, q well
known gentleman of this city,
who occasionally has bibuIous ten
denotes, and be Immediately COM
menced an inspection of the sena-
tors travelling paraphernalia. He
was in the act of picking up the
gripsack and shaking it gently
when Senator McLaurin observed
him and said:
Nothing in it that sIoshes,
Jim. not single drop.
The friend looked disappointed,
and staidly sauntered on down the
platform, doubtless thinking of
the good old days of yore when
McLaurin gripsacks were used
for other purposes than clothes.

Advice to YOune Men.

Remember, my son, that you
have to work. Whether you
handle a pen or wheel barrow, or
q set of books, digging bitches or
editing a paper, ringing an auc-
ton bell or writing funny things,
you must work. If you look
around you, you will see that the
men who are most able to live the
rest Of their days without work
ale Che men who have worked the
hardest. Don't be afraid Of kills
ing yourself with work, my son.
Men cannot work SO hard as that
on the sunny side Of thirty. They
die sometimes, but it is because
they quit work at 6 b. NJ. IT is
the interval that kills. The work
gives you an appetite for your
meals; it lends solidity to your
|slumbers; it gives you an appre-
citation of a holiday. There are
young men who do no work, my
son, but the world is not proud Of
them. The great busy world does
not even know they are there. So
find out what you want To be, and
take of your coat and make dust
| ID the world. The buster you are.
The less deViltry you will be apt to
get into, the sWeeter will be your

MlSTRIAL in THE BOYD CASE.
The Jury Stood Ten for AcqulttaI,
and Couldn't Get Together.

Hazlehurst, Miss, June I. :
The jury in the Boyd case could
not reach q verdict and was dis
charged BY Judge Miller inme-
diately after the adjournment Of
court yesterday evening. 1t was
apparent that they could not reach
q verdict early this morning, but
they were kept locked up longer
bY Judge Miller, thinking chat
they might come to some cOnclu-
sion by the adjournment of court
that evening. There were ten for
Iacquittal and two for conviction.
Mr.. Mcneil, one of Boyd's attor-
neys, in an interview this evening
stated that he would sue out ha-
beas corpus trial at once and try
to get his client bond.
The Boyd trial has been very
expensive one for the county.
The witness fees paid out by the
county were as follows: First
trial, $17T. 20; second trial, $780,
10; third trial, $1,000. Total for
three trials, $487.70. Jurors fees
for the three trials, $3.50. Board
in Jail for Boyd since his arrest,
$279. Records for the Supreme
Court, SIS. Total cost Of the
three trials, $I,611.7O. This is
the most expensive trial to Copiah
county IN recent years, except
one, that one being the Meredith
case, charged with the killing of
Archie Addison.
The speech of Mr.. A. G. Nc
Nair, of Brookhaven, in the Boyd

The case of the City of Brook
haven VS.. B. +. Dunn is being
tried as this report goes in. This
controversy is attracting much in
terest among people in and around
Brookhayen and grows out Of the
following facts: Sometime last
year the Board of Mayor and Al
|dermen of Brookhaven passed an
ordinance extending the corporate
limits Of the city, thus making the
city two miles square with ths
depot in the center instead of one
mile as heretofore. The territory
thus being taken into the city in
ciudes the property of S. p. OH
yer, r. w. McNair, T. Brady,
Jr., B. f. Dunn, Edgar Green,
Felix May, W. r. Davis and 9th
ers, who object to being taken in
to the city. In the name of Mr..
B. f. Dunn the action of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen
was appealed to the circuit
court. The issue to be tried by
the jury is, whether or not the
proposed extension is reasonable.
Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced in securing a jury, and
after spending the whole fore
noon in securing a panel accepta-
BILE TO both sides, it was at last
decided to 60 to trial with only

Boys Are Watched.


When we see the boys on the streets
aad public places we often wonder if they
know that business men are watching
them. In every bank. store and office
there viii soon be place for boy to fill
Those who have the management OF the
affairs of business viii select one OF the
boys: they will not selee, him lor his abil-
ity to swear, smoke cigarettes or tap beer
ke.. And the society swell, who Is
daft about little functions and is happy in
the eoncen that he is Just the article
that Young ladies' find Indispensable on all
occasions, Is in as little demand as the
beer guzzler or cigarette smoker.
Business men may have few loose
habits themselves, but they are looking for
bows who are as near gentlemen in every
sense of the word as they can find. and
they are able to give the character Of every
boy in the city They are not looking
for rowdies. When boy applies for one
of these places and is refused they may
not tell him the reason why they do not
wan, him, but the boy can depend upon
it that he's been rated according to his
behavior. Boys cannot afford to adopt
the habits and conversation OF the Ioaiers
and rowdies if they ever want to be called

A Husbands Deficiencies.

You are aware no woman can make good
for her husband Deficiencies. The best
wife in the world cannot do it.
There are many things, though, that
the wife of man of average ability can
do for him which will make her price above
rubies and 90 long way toward accom-
plishing his success in life.
One Of these things is to keep alive his
faith in himself There comes time in
every man career when his fate rests in
his wife's hands. 1t is when the battle
goes against him and he is tempted to give
up in despair.
Then if his wife reminds him that luck
ALWAYS has been against him, that the world
is leagued together to defeat him, that she
told him he would fail. and she knows he
never can succeed, that mans doom is
sealed.
On the other hand, if she goes ahead
hopefully always reckoning him on, tell
ing him she knowS he can overcome all
obstacles, steadily showing her faith in
him. aud refusing to give it up she will
inspire him with courage and determination
which will eventually win success.
Another way in which she can help him
i by taking an interest in his business.
Whether he sells salt herring or writes
sonnets, she ought to make him feel it a
pleasure to talk to her about what he has
been doing
She may know all about his occupation,
but if she Is sensibly interested her insti-
tutions will be flashes Of genius by which
any man might profit
4 mans business is closer to his heart
than anything else, and it is foolish wo-
man indeed who does not see the benefits
both may derive from comradeship on that
score.
Then a woman may be of invaluable as
sis,ance TO her husband by making friends
for him. or she can do him inealculable
harm by making enemies. She can selfish
Is tie him to her apron strings, or she can
urge him out among people who can help
him
Above all other ways she can prosper
his career hy keeping home comfortable
for him. 1t is strange how many women
fail TO realize that home is the power
house in which the wage. earners Of the
family should gather energy TO fight and
win the battle of life.
Every hreside ought to be haven of
peace, where jaded nerves may he soothed
and restored. If the woman who is hap
pills married chooses to exhaust her hus-
band ; strength on foolish household tasks,
slay him with bad cooking, and otherwise
give him hit-or- miss home life she Is
deliberately pulling him down into obseur-
ity.
Ii she builds him up with proper foods,
send, him out cheered and rested and re
stored. with faith in himself and in her,
She Is pushing him straight on to success.

spectacles. 1t is styled manipulation of
the eye, and is gentle and gradual, oc

pain and having no injurious effect Of any
sort. Some patients are cured in week,
and in all cases improvement is rapid.
Thirty patients who had been obliged
to wear spectacles for long time have 50

a single exception, all have discarded glasses
and can now read, at either long or short
