the aristocracy. These fbs hurt no one, for they
usually are inspired by vanity or self-exatation.
A few years ago we knew chap who was an in
veterate teller of harmless bs He possessed very
poor memory, and this often made him appear rather
ridiculous. One day. in order to create the impress
sion that his family rolling in wealth, and that
he chip of good walnut timber, he casually an
nounced that his father had gone Europe for the
summer. A few days later he told how his father
made five hundred thousand dollars in corner on
wheat in Chicago OF course, someone asked him
whether his father had returned from Europe. For
moment the question disconnected him. He re-
called his former statement, but safely bridged the
chasm by saying that his father changed his mind
about the European tour.
Altho these little 6bs are absolutely harmless
one does not like to be taken in by them. It is
Election on his astuteness, at least he imagines
This arouses his combatve instinct, and he immedi-
atey runs the poor harmless fb into cul-de-sac.
Sometimes these ibs are the cause of arousing an
others jealousy, and when they do, they worse
than if one had told an outright lie But fbs diff
ferintate very little from lies; it is only the cul-
tured person who distinguishes fiji from classical
lie Most persons consider lie to be lie; with
them there is classification. They detest the fib-
Der as strongly they do the liar. Considering
this phase of the question, it would that all
lies are abhorrent.

The Good FeZZOzO.

The Good FeZZOzU.
DOES it pay to be good fellow? Well, that de-
ponds on what kind of good fellow is There
are several kinds of good fellows The man who is
honest with himself and honest with Others is con-
sidered good fellow. He may be grouchy in money
matters, but he never hesitates to entertain be-
fitting his station in life Then there is the prince
of good fellows, the who has host of friends
and who lives beyond his income. He is so good
natured that he cannot refuse friend his last dol
lar and whatever place he enters he drops dollar
or two as tho he owned mint.
OF course the career of this class ofgood fellows
is meteoric; for they are to have tragic end
ing-an ending that lands them in prison. This is
often the unfortunate fate of the man who allows his
good fellowship nclinations to dominate his actions
He simply cannot say no at the right time In or
der to accommodate friend the good fellow often
uses money that belongs to some one else, and is
generally imprisoned for doing So The good fellow
makes poor business man. He is too willing to
trust others until pay day. As politician, thegood
fellow is in his element but he is often detriment
in the ranks recommendation.
1t costs money to be good fellow, but man
can be comparatively good fellow to his friendsand
still keep his honor intact. But the trouble with
most persons is that they go the gamut of good fell
lowship without reckoning the cost This is fatal
error for it does not pay to sink ones principles in
order to play first fiddle at the shrine of good fellow
ship. In doing this one makes himself very popu-
lar among certain persons with like tendencies but
he is not considered very highly by shrewd. hard
headed business men who demand sobriety and
steadiness as the prime essentials when hiring en-
Iployees.

Judge Truly has announced that he
favors the calling of a constitutional
convention to remedy certain discrim-
nations against the southern counties
of the state, obtaining under the pre-
sent constitution. It is claimed that
the present manner of distributing
the school fund is unjust to the south
Mississippi counties, and that their
representation in the Legislature does
not measure fairly with other sections
of the state. Judge Truly's position
on the convention question means
that a constitutional convention viii
be one of the issues in the guberna-
torial campaign. If it should be, the
personalities of the various candidates
will be eliminated, and the fight will
settle down to a contest between
sections and for the men that repre-
sent best the views of the opposing
sections. This issue took impulse
from the convention of supervisors,
held at Hattiesburg last week, and
promises to be one of the warmest
questions that will be agitated in the
campaign

The question of labor, for the first
time in Mississippi, is made one
of the issues in a political cam
paign. Hon. Charles Scott, candidate
for governor, has made importation
of labor one of the leading planks in
his platform. Friends of other can
didates who have not realized the in
adequacy Of present labor to develop
the state are finding fault, and are
contending that the great resources
of Mississippi should be left for devel-
opment by a native population. Their
p p)sition is predicated on sentiment
conceived to create a predjudice, and
which is opposed to the spirit OF pro
gress with which the people of Missis-
sippi are imbued The state needs
labor to develop its wealth Of lands
and forests. Mr.. Scott has promised
a business administration, in case of
his election, and the view he takes of
the labor question is certainly step
in that direction.

thus equalize the burden of taxation.
