Chatty Political Dabbling

The Biloxi Herald devotes column
editorially to showing why it favors
Judge B. b. Mayes for the Truly
Supreme Bench succession Editor
Hollis reasons out that as Vardaman
has achieved quite a pronounced vic
tory through Mayes decision in the
Sandy Bayou lease case, that Hayes
should, agreeable to the Governor S
policy be rewarded thusly Here is
SEINE of the things that we excerp
from the editorial treatise in ques-
ton:
This process of government by
Injunction, giving the governor,
through judges whom he has appoin-
ted, and who are hopeful of still fur
Their appointment, the power to pay
off old political scores, is much more
dangerous to the liberties of the peo-
pie of Mississippi than is any other
point involved in the whole row.
But Judge Mayes has earned his
coveted place on the supreme bench
ane if he does not get it we win be
the first to accuse Governor Varda-
man of ingratitude.
The two talented Harrison county
lawyers mentioned for the Truly sue
cession had as we'll bid farewell 20
hope. Judge Wood will never have
the opportunity to render such a
service, even if he.~would do such a
Job-which we. do not believe for a
minute hat he would and w. H.
Mayhin could not look enough like
the governor if he let his hair grow
to his waistband to stand ghost of
a show.

he NAVAL AtA3iMx MIDDLE.


The Naval Asadamy hazing scan
dals is causing the War Department
much concern, and is going to result
in a thorough good cleaning up in
that Training School for the Ma
tion s maratime soldiery. Iniquities
have crept in there that need not
only suppression but cause cure
The ethical system in vogue is at
fault; the student body have really
been upheld by the shoulder strap
ped superiors in their re ;uliar prac-
tices-it behooves the Secretary Of
War to set in motion remedial meas
urcs that will not shirk at looping
off the heads of the officials who have
winked at the offenscs in a question
involving false honor, as well as the
student practitioners of such malprac
tees. The American Navy has dis
covered to its people an intolerable
state of aft ,irs al this part of its body,
and rather than permit its continu-
ance, the University which teaches
such false ethics, should be abolished
and every guilty m llfactor- whether
student or instructor courtmartialed.

Excitement Up In ycre~


Jones county is temporarily much
disturbed Two delegations have
left for Jackson, one from Ellisville,
the other from Laurel. They go to
press their respective sides to a bill
which has just beer railroaded
through the Lower house and is now
pending before the Senate, whereby
a new Judicial district is to be crea-
ted in said county in the neighbor-
hood of Laurel and of which zone
Laurel would be the site for Court
House etc. This is but the breaking
of a tempest long pent-up in that
county. Laurel has grown rapidly
in the last five years and is believed
by the citizens of that part of the
county entitled to the county capital
or else should he made the site for a
second district of said county. The
bill provides that the voters only
within the zone to be embodied III
the new district shall be allowed to
participate in the election held for
the purpose of determining whether
or not the movement meets approba-
tion. All the expense of building
Courthouse ETC., is to be assumed
by the new district. An exciting
time is looked forward to when the
matter comes up before the State
Senate, and still further excited in
terest W IL follow if the bill prevails
and the matter is referendumed back
to certain of Jones County citizen
ship at the polls. We are looking on
disinterestedly watching results.

In an article entitled From
Greene County, Miss. " appearing in
the New Albany Gazette, over the
signature of J. R. Hamblin, and from
some mention of Merrill, evidently
emenating from that point in the
county, we find in part this:
Il love the willoway shores of the
Pascagoula very much, its sand bars
are very beautiful, its ripping waters
at sunset are very picturesque. =
The land is poor and sandy except
the river bottoms. They have little
farming interests, Al miles is the
nearest farm. Truck and sugar cane
farming is the go. / haven t seen
but one bale of cotton this autumn.
Have some game, such as deer and
turkey, and when | first came they
had plenty of mosquitoes and hot
weather. Have good people and fine
society"

Governor vardaman is going to
clear the tate of McLaurin influence
as far as in his power. No man
known or suspected to be McLau-
rim man is going to receive an APP
pointment at his hands. His treat
ment OF Judge Enochs, of this dis
trict, demonstrates it. Always
fighting and raising Cain with the
McLaurin S for building up ring"
to keep them in Office, Governor Var
damall is trying harder than any
former Governor ever did to build
up Vardaman ring in the State.

In the race for the Senate Varda-
man enters with the advantage OF
having both the Jackson News and
acknowledged against him again,
and it is but reasonable to presume
their opposition win prove as advan-
tageous as it did in his race for gov
ernor. In this j X. has the advan-
tage of his opponents at the start
Pass Christian Beacon.
The Political horoscope can not al
ways be determined by SO uncertain
an omen as this, ard then again we
must remembe, that these SELF same
papers have been found on the side
Of the political fence along which OPP
ponents of the present Honorable

future We are not altogether biased

pointed to, as indicating the success

Said to be banded about Wash
ington is thus joke on Mississippi:
The proprietor of the old Wash
ington hotel at Vicksburg would
stand at the head of the long table
and call out his bill of fare-call it
out loud and strong Here's elegant
roast beef; roast beef rare, roast
beef done to turn; boiled mutton
just arrived; mashed potatoes, boiled
turnips, fried chicken, and every
thing you want. " The landlord was
asked how he got into this habit, and
he said: 1t originated with me
when | kept a hotel at jackson.
Many of the members of the legisla-
ture boarded with me and some of
them managed to make use of the
napkins and silver forks, but they
couldn't go printed bill of fare
they couldn' t read. / had to call off
the billof fare, aud so | have kept it
up ever since.

The particular annoyance which
befell you this morning; the vexa-
tious words which met your ear and
grieved" your spirit; the disap-
pointment which was his appoint

Joys Lasting Power

Sorrow is meant to be only step
ping-stone to JOY. Many a child of
God has learnd this, and is living a
life that is richer and brighter and
better on that account. Your visit
has brought me joy and sorrow, "
said a big hearted Christian teacher
to pupil. Il hope the JOY will last
longer than the sorrow" said the
pupil. 1T always does, came the
sunshiny answer; and the teacher
had revealed one of his secrets of
power.-Sunday School Times.

NEW COUNTY AGITATION |!

Just before closing up our forms
for this issue, we were handed q
dodger which is being circulated over
the county announcing a Mass Meet
ing to be held at Lucedale on We'd
nesday january "a, 1906. for the
purpose of getting before the State
Legislature now in session, The
question of forming a new county
out of the Southern part of Greene
and Northern part of Jackson coun
ties, with Lucedale osteasib,y as
the necleus. Lack of space precludes
saying much this time on this ques-
ton. We would however remind
the citizens of Greene County who
oppose this movement that Now is
the time to be up and doing, if you
wish to thwart the efforts being put
forth to further this cause. Unless
we are misinformed there is a big
percentage of the sturdy electoriaIly
qualified citizenship residing within
the zone involved in Greene County,
who are unalterably opposed to such
slicing up, and who have committed
themselves longSago as determined
to lend the weight of their influence
against it.
Then to those within the zone re-
ferred to who favor the movement,
we would advise them to closely con-
slider the matter of expenses which
will be entailed upon them for cree
ton of courthouse and Jail buildings
before rushing pelI-mell into thing
that will mean burdensome taxation.

The Mobile Postmastership over
which there has been such wrangle
Of late, has been settled. President
Roosevelt, appointed Col. P. j. Bar
ker to succeed himself. Barker has
been successful in getting new COM
missions for holding this office, every
since the memorable first capture,
when he ousted Col. Rapier, who
refused to surrender the position
till forcibly elected by process of
law. Barker owns considerable
property in Mobile, is very wealthy,
and while republican, and one who
came to Mobile during the carpet
Dagger period, is well liked man in
the Gulf City, his adopted home for
now about forty years, and has been
quite influential in his party circles
all along.

William Jennings Bryan
At the Old World Centers
Where History is Being
Made.

The great Commoner, one of the
two Americans most in the universal
eye, is making tour which will be
memorable in interest an impor
tance. He has already visited Ha-
wall, Japan. Corea and China, and is
now in the PhiIipp nes His timer
airy will then include India, Pales
tine, Egypt, and ~the various coun-
tries of Europe. After crossing the
Atlantic and spending a brief time
at home, he will make special trim
to Australia and New Zealand.
Feeling that his countrymen will
desire to learn his experiences and
impressions. and daring to tell the
truth as it appears to him, MIR.
Bryan has consented TO write series
of letters covering the various pha-
ses of his journey. These will not
be delayed until he has had time to
prune and polish, but will come fresh
from the scenes of his study. They
will be timely, vital documents, and
a literary sensation. In order that
his views may reach the people
promptly, it has been decided to per-
NIT simultaneous publication in the
leading newspapers of the United
States.
THE PICAYUNE HAS BEEN SELECTED
THE MEDIUM FOR THIS TERRITORY.
Mr. Bryans reputation lnsures
him opportunities for observation
given to few men, He knows what
the American people want to know.
and he knows, too how to look and
how to describe what he sees. There
fore bis letters will have a human
interest, a literary and a news value
above similar messages from almost
any other writer, statesman or tray
eler.
The Philippine question, the future
Of Japan, the fate of China, the
mighty changes stirring in India, the
renewed sttention to Palestine, be-
cause of Zionism, the crisis confront
ing the Russian Empire, the modern
izing of Egypt, are topics all inteili-
gent readers are eager to have light
upon. All readers may not agree
with Mr.. Bryan, but all will appre-
ciate the chance to hear what he has
to say. They will have the full series
