The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1906-03-02

To the Bar of the State: Having
received the endorsement for reap
pointment OF a large majority of the
lawyers of the state, including a ma
jority of the county bars, which
have expressed choice, in each of
the supreme court districts, in ten
of the eleven circuits, and seven of
the eight chancery court districts, |
feel impelled to publicly express my
gratitude.
The fact that the endorsement was
entirely voluntary and unsolicited
by me, given with full knowledge of
the attitude of the chief executive,
increases the sense of my obliga-
ton, which is not lessened because
the endorsement was unavailing.
My chief personal regret is that
my friends should, on my account,
have been subjected to an ignoring
of their petition.
Failure to be reappointed can
never diminish my intense gratifca-
ton that my record as a member of
the supreme court was thought
worthy the approval and commenda-
ton of my brethren of the bar, who
in such matters are the opponents of
the profession and the people at
large.
Faithfully yours,
Feb. ~, 1906. JEFF. TRULY.

1t will only be a question of a
short time before Greenwood will be
compelled to erect another public
school building to accommodate the
growth of the city-consequently it
is not a good idea to make too ex-
tensive an addition to the present
building.

In the meantime, don't forget that
Greenwood is the best city in the

OVER TETE NOR PASS.
New Electric Railroad From Switzer-
land to France.

From the Philadelphia Record
The new electric railroad from Martigny
in Switzerland, to Chamounix, in France,
over the Tete Noir Pass is very soon to be
opened for traffic to the public. 1t viii be
another link in the long chain of marvellous
engineering feats that Is fast connecting
every part Of Switzerland and the border
ing countries over and through some Of the
largest mountains in the world. )
The journey over the Tete Noir Pass,
which heretofore was an all-day ride. not
without dangers and inconvenience, In
comfortless diligences, now. by means of
this new road, will be cut down to a few
pleasant hours in comfortable cars. through
some of the most wonderful and awe-inspir-
ing scenery In Switzerland.
Every season thousands of tourists, most
ly Americans, have made this tedious,
though interesting journey over the noun
tains in carriages, buses and on bicycles,
as 1t is practically the only road from
Geneva and that section to Zermatt and the
Matterhorn.
In going from Chamounix q wonderful
view Is obtained near Martigny, when, from
a great altitude, tho traveller suddenly sees
the entire Rhone valley spread out before
him, and the winding road by which he
must descend to Martigny Is plainly visible
zigzagging Its serpent-like length below.

Earnings Of Novelists.
From T. P.'s Weekly.

Authors earn much less in France than in
England. The late Sir Walter Besant ten
years ago estimated that there were fifty
novelists in England who earned upward OF
a thousand year. There are now proba-
bly, nearer a hundred and fifty, while in
France there are almost certainly not more
than fifty who make a living at ALL An
English novelist OF standing will receive
eighteenpence on every copy of book sold
Some novelists receive two shillings Emile
lola. who touched high-water mark in
France, got franc. which is rather less
than tenpence. Sevenpence halfpenny is
considered excellent pay, and fourpence
and ffvepence are common.

Johnson's Liberties With Alphabet.


Those who are readiest to condemn as
"scornful Innovations or "Americanfsms''
various suggestions for an altered orthog-
raphy are apt to forget how arbitrary the
greatest of English dictionary makers oc-
casionally was In his choice between variant
spellings. 1t was DR.. Johnson who added
the * to 'musick' and ''rhetorick and
physick. which before his day were more
commonly spelled as We spell them now
Labor and honor and favor irritate
fsms. But IL was DR.. Johnson who intro
duced the Unnecessary. though. perhaps,
rather more graceful ~ and who wrote
in addition, 'authour'' and 'errour'' and
'governour. The last spelling has only
dropped out of the English Prayer Book in
the twentieth century. How many church
goers have noticed the change?

Cowardice In Congress.

FToni the view I0rK HefdId.
There never was q more pitiable instance
of cowardice than that furnished by many
of the senators and representatives who
voted for the abolition of the army canteen.
Protest against the bill was made by ex-
perienced officers commanding the enlisted
men and knowing just what the effect would
be. But many men In Congress, against
their own judgment, voted for the bill be-
cause the petitions for It were signed by
such a. host Of women-women who meant
we'll but most of whom had never seen any
army post and all of them necessarily ignor-
ant of the nature and needs of the enlisted
men. 1t is now announced that a bill to re-
store the canteen will be introduced when
Congress assemblies. 1t should be promptly
passed.
