Twenty Years Old And Growing Faster
Than Ever,

When a man begins at the bottom
and works himself up, the business
world requires no bond of him Where
his works are known his word is Suf-
icient. So it is with a corporation.
If it grows stronger and stronger ev-
cry year the people know it will do to
trust. The Mississippi Home Insur-
ance Company did more business last
year than ever before, and it starts
out this year with the business of jan
uary away ahead of that of last JAN
uary. The showing is most gratifying
and encourages those who wish to
build up and %patronize home COM
panieS. AS it is going toward the
two-million-dollar mark in what it has
paid out to home people, all who hold
it's policies feel perfectly sure losses
will be promptly paid.-Vicksburg

NO CRITICISM OF ELECTION LAWS.

Secretary of War, William Fl. Taft,
IN an address delivered at Booker Il.
Washington's school at Tuskegee,
Ala, on Wednesday, put himself ON
secord as endorsing Southern election
laws designed to restrict the right of
suffrage. In discussing the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution,
among other things he said:
DECLARATIONS of equality and popu-
Ear rights and universal suffrage are but
q feathers weight against the newt
able Impulse of human nature. y"
When a class of persons is so ignorant
and so subject to oppression and mis-
eading that they are merely political
children, not having the mental status
Of manhood, then it can hardly be said
that their voice in the government
secures any benefit to them. There
fore it seems to me that a policy OF
che Southern people in adopting laws
which exclude impartially both the
black and white ignorant and irreS-
uonsible, could not be criticised"
Mr. Taft counseled the negroes to
lock to their preparation for indus
TRIAL work rather than political pre-.
e.rmeut. AS the days go by the most

The suggestion Of Hon. Earl Brew
er for the office Of governor of Missis-
Sippi places before the people a nan
of whom the above quotation is pecu-
liarly applicable. Mississippi needs
such a man in the governors chair.
Earnest, conscientious and upright,
he has taken duty for his guide, and
followed where she led, without fear
or favor. He served bis people with
marked ability as a member of the

ney has made this n OF the most

does not reserve his condemnation Of

EXPRESS COMPANIES EARNINGS.

The Aberdeen Examiner very justly
assaiIs the reportSof the express com-
GAMES, operating Ia this state, show
snga business so meager as scarcely
10 warrant them in keeping half their
offices open. The Examiner says that
che net earnings on delivery of whis.
kew in Aberdeen, alone, are vastly
greater than the total reported as
Mississippi earnings; but they dodge
che issue by reporting as Mississippi
business only the freightS shipped
irom Mississippi Offices.
If the legislature wants to get at
the volume of business done 10y the
companies in this state, if-lt wants To
ascertain the revenue derived out of
mississippi for the purpose OF fixing
taxation, it is very clear that the
only right way to this end is to require
reports Of the amount Of money col
sected for goods shipped into MiSSis-
sippi for the consignee, directly or in
directly, always pays the freight
st is absurd to base the earnings OF
the company upon receipts for goods
shipped, when the great volume of
.cceiptS is for goods received within
she state.
AS for the whiSkey traffic, which is
very large in other cities and towns,
rs well as in Aberdeen, the freight
charges are usually prepaid at the
point Of shipment without the state,
yet every dollar of these charges is
paid by the consignee and should be
sncluded in any fair statement OF the
Mississippi earnings of the compa-
mics. Meridian Star.
1t occdrS to us that there is no cor
ooration that comes so nearly quitting
she public as the express companies,
and it has been a remarkable thing to
IN why they have not received the
proper attention by the legislature
heretofore. Much ado is frequently
made about the railroad commission
adjusting freight rates, ETC., but the
American Express company is per-
united to lay on Macduff. There is
q great lack of uniformity in charges
en packages brought into this place.
gor instance during the past fifteen
months we have known the
charges to vary all the way
from ten to forty per cent on identi-
eally the same size package from
Remphis to Grenada, and we dare
say that the same rule obtains at
ether points in the state.
Yes, the express companies need
gping after with a red hot legislative
enactment. They are waxing fat and
are making much of it by %exorbitant
charges on the people of Mississippi,
and they should be made to pay taxes
accordingly. We are quite confident
chat they are making dollars where
che railroad company is making

able and prominent men Of the North
are more and more comprehending "a

putting themselves on record as hav-

Judge Truly's friends certainly must
be disappointed at the reception given
his candidacy. Some sought to create
the impression that it. would sweep
the state like fire in a field of broom
sedge. 1t rather looks like that it
was started out in a refrigerator car.
The Judge will learn that there is a
vast deal Of difference between get
ting the endorsement of the great
masses of the people and the lawyers
OF the state and that the seventy
FIVE per cent of the lawyers Of the
state that are to rally to his candid
acy" can not control a primary cleo

When viii Democracy Die?

When the liOa ears grass like an OK.
And the fish worm swallows tho whale,
When the robins knit WOODEN socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail;
When serpents walk upright like men,
And the doodle bugs travel like frogs.
When grasshODpers feed on the hen,
And feathers are found on hogs;
When Thomas cats swim In the air
And elephants rOOst on trees.
When insects in summer are rare.
And snuff never makes people sneeze.
When fsn creep over dry land
And mules on velOeipeaes ride,
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride:
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer.
Andthegirls get.tO preaching on time.
When bi1ly'gOats butt from the rear
And treason no longeris crime,
When humming birds bray like an ass,
And limberger smells like cologne,
When pIOwshareS are made out of grass
And the hearts of true Texans of stone,
When ideas grow in idiots heads,
And the wOOlOn the hydraulic ram,
Then the Democratic party will be dead
And his country won't be worth a.

say that.
