a Letter to Kaufman Brothers.
Columbus, Miss.


Dear Sirs: How did you get
your business? we'll tell you how
we got ours. You sell shoes, we
make paint; perhaps we can do a
good turn to ourselves, you and
we,- by swapping experiences.
We began 152 years ago in a
little shop few-minutes walk
from where we are now; a great
many things have happened, We
don't remember them all. We
made as good paint as we could
and learned TO make better. We
are the oldest now; we dom t
know whether we had any teach
er or not; it's so long ago; If we
bad, he's gone and forgotten.
We should have been forgotten.
if we hadn't maze good paint
and friends.
You buy your shoes; you have
an advantage in that; If you
make a mistake, you can stop it
quick; If you make hit, you
can push it quick. We've had
to go slow; it's hard to rick-out
ones own mistakes, and nothing
but fun to correct the mistakes
of others.
You know where to 90 for
leather that keeps its shape, feels
good, looks new and wears
long time. What a comfort it is
to be com Portable from making
ones customers comfortable!
We also have a unique, advan
tage-unique, you know, means
that nobody else has anything
like it. We make a strong paint
that takes less gallons, saves
half the cost of painting your
house, and it's like that leather
of yours for wear. 1t is all paint
and the strongest of paint. Paint
is usually aduIterated and weak.
We're very old, but we make
young paint! one gallon is better
than two, if it has the stuff in it.

BIG MARBLE YARD
MAY BE ESTABLISHED
In Vicksburg By Mr.. John A.
Stins0n, of Columbus


The Vicksburg Herald OF
Thursday says: John A. Stinson,
proprietor of the Columbus Mar
bic Works, of Columbus, Miss,
was in the city yesterday. While
here Mr.. Sinson conferred with
j. G.. eastman, secretary of the
Mississippi Monument Commits
sion, in reference to the state
memorial in the National Park.
Mr.. Stinson says that he intends
to enter into the competition.
He has designed for six monu-
ments, and has been successful
in the competition for five of
these. Mr.. Stinson says that he
intends seeing the other men,
bers of the Mississippi commits
sion in few days. He says that
he feels more than a financial in
terest in the monuns ant to be
erected, His father WIS a Mis-
sissippi soldier, and he is proud
of his state and of the fact that
the Columbus company is Mis-
siasippi enterprise.
Mr.. Stinson says that for some
time he has been considering tn
establishment in Vickshurg of a
marble yard for the manufacture
of monuments of different kinds.
He would have done this some-
time ago but, has been unable to
get the right man. He has now
yards at Winona and
Greenwood.
Mr.. Stinson atates that he will
be In the city again in few days,
and will confer with ths secreta-
ries OF the Board of Trade and
the Business League in reference
to establishing marble yard
here. He says-that he does not
want to ask anybody for money,
as he prefers to run his own bus
mess to having a joint stock |
company to do it. All that he
wishes is to talk with 49, ssere-
taries about a proper location for
his works and about getting a
good man to take charge of them |
MIR. Stinson says that Colum-
bus is thriving and already has
over twenty factories. All of |
shese are on firm financial
foundation.

MUCK RAKE TO Be
USED IN JACKSON

A Special from jackson Mics.
says: The muck rake having
been started to work over the
councy affairs i'm jackson, that ia
in the management of the officers
of the constables of the district,
whose justices OF the beaoe are
located in Jackson, demand ia
made that it be also pulled back
and forth over the city records.
Over his own signature, Mr..
Charles Kerr demands an inyes-
tigation Of the city court and
hints at divers misdoings. How
ever, it is hardly probable any
thing crooked will be found there.
as the police justice and the po-
lice department generally are
hemmed in by such Safeguards
as surround few justice mills in
the state. This was made 40
two or three years ago because
of numerous discrepancies die
covered in the management of
the affairs of the city court, the
powers OF the police justice and
the police being clipped and cur
tailed to the utmost.

HUMPHREYS BILL
NOT STRINGENT
Enough, But 1t viii Enable The
Officers to Spot Tigers"

A special from Jackson, Miss.
says: Humphreys bill passed at
/ the recent session of congress
requiring internal revenue col
lectors to furnish to State, county
and municipal authorities the
names Of persons to whom liquor
licenses have been issued in pro-
hibition communities, while in
itself a measure of much merit.
will not aid materially in the
suppression of the blind tiger
evil in this State until the
legislature enacts a statute MAX
ing the possession of a Federal
liquor license prima facie evi-
dence Of intention to engage in
illicit retailing, and that the
holder may be punished as if he
had been actually caught in the
act of making a sale.
A law of this character was
suggested at the last session, but
it failed to pass. 1t was not known
at that time that the Hump
hrey's bill would get through
congress, otherwise the leg
islators might have viewed it in
another light as furnishing sure
and direct means of suppressing
the illicit traffic.
However, the Humphreys law,
in the hand of energetic officers,
will be of some value, for it will
enable them to spot many of the
men who are engaged in illicit
retailing, and keep them under
surveillance until evidence of
sale is discovered.
Blind tiger business in Missis-
sippi has been undergoing a mar
ked change during the past year
or so. Formerly it was conducted
by white men, and usually with |
a negro as the stool pigeon, to
perform the actual work of sell |
ing the spirits. Now however the
bulk Of the srafl1c is handled by /
negro women, and it is even more
difficult to get evidence against
these negresses than it was to
capture the white offenders
and their negro allies. The
usually carry only
small quantities of illicit liquors,
and the dispensing is in such
Iuiet and adroit manner that in
many instances it is utterly i'm
possible to get eviden ce.

SETS IT PLAIN
ABOUT PENSIONS
Auditor Henry Issues Circular
Giving Requirements

State Auditor T. M. Henry,
having been besieged with letters
from all parts OF the State re-
garding pensions, has issued the
following circular which will be
of interest to every one:
Pensioners now on the lists
are not required to file new APP
pIications. Only such persons
as are entitled to become pen
sioners and are not now on the
pension lists are required to do
so. These, the new pensioners,
have until the first Monday in
September to file their spplica-
tons with their chancery clerks,
but as the county boards are re-
quired to meet on that date, or
as soon thereafter as practicable,
it is suggested that such unreg-
is.ered pensioners lose no time
in filing their applications.
"At the September meeting of
the county pension boards they
are required to pass on all new
applications and to carefully ex-
anime The present list of old pen
sioners, and to make such chan
ges therein as the lists warrant.
All dead pensioners, all those
not entitled to remain thereon
from any cause, and pensioners
who have removed from the
county since the last distribution
should be stricken from the list.
I'm cases Of removal the name
of pensioners and the county to
which they have moved should
be certified to the state auditor
by the chancery clerk so the
name can be properly placed on
the new county of residence.
"After the old list is thus
purged, complete list of all tie
old and new, should
be furnished to the auditor ON
the blanks provided by him for
that purpose. and properly GER
titled, under the proper classifi-
cation.
Two copies of said list will be
made by the auditor, one being
retained by him and the other
returned to the chancery clerk
,or verification, and TO preclude
he possibility of mistakes. Af-
.er such verification the complete
ist must be forwarded to the
with the ohancery clerks
that he has examined
he same and found it correct.
"While the new law does not
become operative until Oct. /,
9O6, | am of the opinion that
he legislature intended that
blind widows should be included
n the next distribution other
wise they would he denied the
pension till next year.
In order to be eligible they
must be totally blind ana INDECENT
mi must have married q Con-
ederate soldier prior to Jan. i,
875."

MORGAN RESIGNS
FROM SOUTHERN
And Other Changes May Occur
Later On

1he htidilba, Gd., COnStlGu =
ton says: Some important
changes will probably take place
shortly that will affect the pas
senger department. of the South
ern railway from Washington to
Jacksonville and from Columbus
to St. Louis. Up to the present
time, however, only one change
seems to be definite, and what
the others might be is merely
speculative, so officials of the
Southern in Atlanta state.
Brooks Morgan, assistant gen.
eral passenger agent, in charge
of the Atlanta office, has resign
ed to become associated with the
Frank E. Black Manufacturing
Company.
Who will take Mr.. Morgan's
place is not known. He does
not know, and he states that the
matter has not been settled.
In this connection it is rumored
that George b. Allen, assistant
general passenger agent, in
charge OF the ST. Louis lines,
may take Mr.. Morgan's place.
James G.. Beam. district pas
senger agent with offices in At
lanta, it is said, may go to ST
Louis to take Mr.. Allen g place.
The same report has it that j.
G. Lusk, Of Jacksonville, at pres
ent district passenger agent for
Florida, may come to Atlanta to
succeed Mr.. Beam.
Mr.. Lusk may be succeeded
by James Freeman, travelling
passenger agent, with Offices at
Macon.
Mr.. Freeman's successor may |
be j. Lawrence Hunt, city ticket
and passenger agent at Colum-
bus.
All this is mere speculation,
as has been stated. The only
change that is now definitely
known is that Mr.. Morgan has
resigned.
When seen Mr.. Morgan stated |
hat while it was true that he had |
\ few days ago sent in his resig |
aation, effective at such a time |
rs would be agreeable to the
Southern railway people, as he
lad decided as to who would sue
seed to the Frank e. Block Com
1any, manufacturers, and whole
Iale grocers, it had not been de-
,ided as to who would succeed to
he position of assistant general
passenger agent of the Southern
ailway at Atlanta, inasmuch as
he management had not yet had
ime to give the question full con-
liberation. Mr.. Morgan also ad-
Used that ii any definite decis-
on had been reached with refer
nee to the numerous minor
hanges he was not advised but
hat he felt sure that whatever
hanges the management decid-
lpon would be given out in few
lays.
Ii other changes occur the
Iews will probably be sent out
rom Washington by the Asso-
lated Press, Mr.. Morgan thinks.
ust what other changes will
AXE place will probably not be
.nown until the last of the month.
