PARIS, Sept. 6-It was officially an
nounced today that Capt. Lenfant, the
French explorer, is about to leave on
another expedition to West Africa in
order to discover, if possible, a navi-
gable waterway connecting Lake Chad
with the coast of the Atlantic. In his
former expedition of 10000, Capt.
Lenfant ascertained that a through
waterway existed along the Niger, the
Benue, the Mayo-Kebbi, the Logene,
and the Shart, but he was unable to
follow it from beginning TO end by
boat. as the Mayo-Kebbi was found to
be obstructed by rapids, round which
it was necessary to travel by land. His
discovery, however, enabled the French
government to abandon the difficult
and costly Congo Ubangi-Fort de Pos
sci route for conveying supplies to the
troops on the lower Shari in favor Of a
route from Forcados at the mouth Of
the Niger, along that ricer, the Benue,
and the Mayo-Kebbi, to Lere, from
which point beasts of burden are en-
ployed as far as Lake Tuburi where
the journey by water is resumed. The
result of the expedition is awaited with
a great deal of interest.

Mr.. Gillian is very much pleased
with Walla Walla already. He said that
in common with most people on the
Sound he had looked upon Walla WAL
Ia as one of those old towns which
had not grown much, and that he was
more than impressed with the "citi-
fed" appearance which it presented.
He declared there was much more
hustle here than in other towns of its
size and than some of greater size.

quarters at both the o. r. & N. and

GOOD ADVICE.

"A man who would go out and stir up
strife among the white and black races is
unfit to preach the gospel" said Bishop
Moses B. Salter, in addressing the North
Mississippi Conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal church, which met in
Clarksdale last month. "The gospel you
preach is gospel of peace and not con-
fusion. Let your every aim be to make
friends for yourself and race.
"You are soon to receive your assign
mentS for the next twelve months, and
trust that you will work as never before
to unite our people, to have them pay
their honest debts, obey the law, stop
buying whiskey and buy land. Do not
mistake impudence for manhood. because
it is not. Teach the negro to be polite
and courteous. Despise no man because
he IS white nor love no man because he is
black, but let us love mankind. Others
may teach theirs to hate, but let us teach
Gus to love-"

who would use the appointive power as

who would use the appointive power as
his personal property-as mere political
asset-for self-aggrandizement, falls dis
appointingly below the ideal, and defeats
the lofty purpose of the founders of our
government" And again: "The cheap,
low, sordid, dangerous conception that a
judgeship is the private property or the
political asset of the governor with which
he may purchase and control the services
of few cheap politicians, debauch the
bench and ballot, the very sheet anchor of
our political salvation, should be made in
famous in the minds Of the people"
Were these promises to the people of
the state, or was Governor Vardaman

which, while condemning it, he intended
himself to follow?-Fayette Chronicle.

a butcher in the town bought hog
from him and gave five silver dollars.
The dollar therefore again reached
him, and on several occasions he
heard of the dollar being in the
hands Of neighbors. One day his
wife sold four chickens to merchant
and to her surprise he threw out the
dollar with the < on it. She sent it
to Chicago mail order house for a
rug which came all right, but the
dollar has never been seen since, and
the circulating medium of that town
is ono dollar short. the lesson to be
drawn from this, is that every dollar
should be spent at home, because when

likely to turn up if spent in your

vARDAMANS'S OPPORTUNITY.


No man in public life of recent years has
had so signal an opportunity of proving
himself man in the true sense of the
word, as has Governor Vardaman at the
present time. He must either prove his
sincerity or be proven guilty Of hypocricy
by his official acts.
The bar of the state have, with practical
unanimity, petitioned for the re-appoint-
ment of Judge Truly to the supreme
bench. Their verdict is that he has made
a satisfactory record; this verdict is Joined
in by the people. Even the most rabid of
his personal enemies is not so lost to sense
of truth as to deny this. Still some of
them say he will not be re-apponted. 1t
IS said that Governor Vardaman is per.
sonally unfriendly to Judge Truly. We
have no reason to believe that there is any
personal i'll feeling on either side, but con-
ceding this say that it is true. 1t is said
too that Judge Truly opposed Governor
Vardaman in his campaign for governor;
this IS true. But here the list.of charges
against Judge Truly stops. "The very
head and front of his offense hath this ex-
tent, no more"
Will the governor refuse to re-appoint
him for these reasonsl Or, will he redeem
his pledges to the people and dismiss all
considerations based on spast, personal or
political differences
Said Governor Vardaman in his inau-
gural address: Il want to impress upon
you, my countryman, that the governor
