Near the end of a brilliant match be
tween our oldest university and the
Carlisle Indians one OF the Indian
backs suddenly got away with the ball
and was OF down the field with moth
ing between him and the goal posts but
one man. If the runner succeeded in
getting by him 1t meant everlasting
athletic glory for himself and perhaps
a victory for his small college over
this mighty institution Of learning, con
tanning the flower of the civilization
which had swept his forefathers away
from the lands they once possessed.
The crowd in the stands had arisen,
easping in their excitement. as crowds
always do ut such moments. But just
as he had almost gained the coveted
line that one man. a famous Splinter,
brought the runner down with a beau
tiful TICKLE. The stands rocked with
relief. and the usual "piling up OF
other players took place. AS the two
lay there together. the fair haired rep
resentative of New England. while still
cIaspIng the dark skinned descendent
Of American savagery, felt something
eumblInG and presently became aware
1t the bottom of the heap there. that
his right hand was being shaken.

Diplomatic silence.

When Franklin arrived in France he
was somewhat astonIshed at the lux
ury, noise and hustle Of the court OF
Versailles The courtiers, who are by
nature efTervescent and volatile, made
much ado over him. He was himself
inclined to be taciturn. Vergennes,
the French minister of foreign AFFAIRS,
also was Of a reserved, clrcumspect,
uncommunlcative nature.
The introducer. having presented
Franklin. withdrew. The two states
men. left alone, bowed to each other.
Vergennes, with a gesture, invited
Franklin to be seated and then wait
ed. Franklin, however, said not a
word. Possibly he wished to put his
companions gravity to the test-the
French had always been pictured to
him as 80 loquacious.
The French minister felt that he was
on the verge OF oversteppIng the rules
81 courtesy and hospitality. He there
fore took out his snumbox and invited
franklin to take n pinch ofsnuR.
franklin complied, reelected an In
slant and took his snuf in silence.
Vergennes. on his part, did the same.
and then the compliment was return
ed. After brief flash OF silence
Franklin rose: so did Vergennes,
whereupon, after farewell obelsance,
they parted This was the entire sum
and substance of their FIRST interview,
which happily was to be followed by
others of more fruitful character

He seemed to speak In honest tones,

and as soon as the car stopped at the
terminus she clutched the robbers

man.
There was one present. He came

Who Lost on Bill Circulation and

The following problem is Civ
en- for the consideration of Reg.
lister readers:
A banker going home for his
dinner saw a S10.b bill on curbStone
He picked it mp and took the
number home in order to find
the owner. While at home his
wife remarked that the butcher
had sent a bill amounting to $40.
The only money he had with him
was the bill he had found which
he gave to her and she paid
the butcher. The butcher paid
it to a farmer for a calf and the
farmer paid 1t to a wash-woman
and she, owing the banker a note
of $40 went to the bank and
paid the note. The banker rec
ognized the bill as the one he
had found, and which, up to
that time, had $50 of debt. On
careful investigation he discov-
cred that the bill was counter
felt. What has been lost in this
transaction and by whom?-Mo-

From the local columns of the
Memphis papers we note that
Mr.. j. T. Watson, is on trial on
the charge Of manslaughter in
the criminal court of Shelby coun-
ty. Mr.. Watson is a motorman
and while running his car in
January a man driving a wagon
across the track was struck and
killed by Mr.. Watson's car. 1t
was one of those unfortunate ac-
cidents which will occur as long
as steam and electricity are used
as a motive power and we can
not see that any criminal intent
should be ascribed to the motor
man. Mr.. Watson was reared
in this county and is a young
man of exemplary habits and his
many friends in Lee county re-
greet the unfortunate dilema in
which he is placed, We feel
sure that no blame should attach
to MI. Watson, and trust that
the jury before whom he is tried
may so find.

The local camp oftle Woodmen
O. the World has been discussing
among themselves the matter of
celebrating on June the 9th next
the anniversary of the organiza-
ton of woodcraft as one of the
great benevolent organizations.
While the matter has not as yet
assumed definite shape it has
gone far enough for us to say
almost positively that the local
camp will celebrate the annlver-
sary with appropriate ceremonies
which will include addresses, a
big dinner and other etceteras
that will make the Gay most en-
joyable. Consul Commander
Watson in an enthusiastic Wood
man, and associated with him a
number of officers and soyereigns
who take a great interest in the
organization and leaves no stone
unturned to advance the interest
of the local camp. A new hall
has just been fitted up in the
Armstrong building with all the
conveniences of a first class lodge
AT the meeting Tuesday night
the question Of the celebration
in June was discussed, and it was
the sense Of the camp and desire
of the presiding sovereign that
every member of the camp should
be present next Tuesday night
to consider the preliminary steps
of selecting committees whose
duty it will be to look after the
details of the entertainment.
Let all Woodmen be present
without fail.

New Registration.

AS ordered by the Board of
Supervisors a new registration
of all the qualified voters Of the
county was begun the first Of
February. This is the first gen
eral registration since 1892 which
followed the adoption of the new
constitution. The same books
have been in use since 81 and
the board deemed it advisable to
order a general registration for
the purpose of having a set of
books with only those on them
who are still living and who are
in their respective voting pre-
cincts. So many changes have
taken place during the past four
teen years that it was difficult
to make up a clean set Of poll
books from the names on the
registration books. The reg
istration is progressing slowly
as the voters do not as yet under
stand that every bOCy must reg
lister. The Circuit Clerk is to be
found at his office at all times to
meet those who desire to get their
names on the registration books.
The registrar will visit each
voting precinct with the books
sometime during the spring to
meet those who do not find 1t
convenient to come to'toWn.

LEE COUNTY.

To Governor James K. Vardaman:
Your petitioner, Dave Merritt, would
respectfully show to your Excellency
that he was convicted on the charge of
murder at the August term. 1899, at
the Circuit Court of Lee county, Miss,
and sentenced to Imprisonment for life
in the State penitentiary; that there
were mitigating circumstances in the
killing of John Knox; that there was
no malice p~remeditated and the killing
had in it the element of an ACCIDENT, and
your petitioner now feels that he has
been sufficiently punished; that he has
served the State faithfully during his
confinement; that he has given the Of
fcials no trouble whatever and has
tried to so conduct himself as to prove
worthy of their respect and confidence.
He now asks a pardon at the hand of
your Excellency and in this his petition
for pardon, he obligates himself to be-
come a law-abiding citizen if given his
liberty.

Pontotoc Still On The Boards.

The Pontotoc situation has as
sumed another shape in the turn
Of the kaleidoscope and the last
turn presents the railroad before
the legislature asking for the
passage of a bill which authorizes
the road to disregard the contract
with the people of Pontotoc and
to nullify the action of the rail-
road commission and every order
of the courts wherein the question
of the location of the depot has
been considered. The COM
/ mission and every order OF the
courts have held the feet of the
road to the fire at every turn
and it is for the purpose OF re-
taliation and the precedent which
would be set that the respite from
the predicament in which they
find themselves placed The
question money spent in chang
ling the route is not involved; but
the question of having to obey
the order of the commission and
the DEGREES of the courts Of the
state is where the collar rubs,
and the road would spend ten
times the cost of changing the
route if they could show to the
people of the sta e that they
did not have to obey the accred-
tied authorities and the mandates
of the courts. The appearance
of an individual citizen of the
state before the leg stature with
such a proposition as the Mobile
Jackson and Kansas City Rail
road has before the legislature
in the Stegall bill would meet
with only ridicule and contempt
from the very members who are
lending their aid to the passage
of this measure. Yet the road is
there asking to be permitted to
violate a contract with a set OF
people who would lose the &C
cumulation of a life time it the
bill passes.
To the people along the route
of the Mobile, jackson and Kan
sas City road. there has been
much inconvenience on account
of the failure of the road to run
it's trains, but it has all the time
been the fault of the road. We
can understand why those who
are inconvenience grow restless
but they should place themselves
in Pontotoc's place in passing
iudgemnt. The people Of Pom
totoc are not to blanc; tits life
and death struggle with them
and instead of being censured
they should have the sympathy
and support of every citizen who
believesir making a railroad COM
pany obey the laws Of the state
lust as an Individual is made to
do. 1t is the principle involved,
and the matter should not be
Judged by the temporary incon-
venience or benefit to any set OF
people or community.

S arab Bernhardt, the greatest
tragedienne of the age, has reach
ed Texas on her farewell tour
and is playing to vast audiences
under a circus tent. Sarah has
never played under a tent before
but Notwithstanding her age and
also the fact that she only speaks
in French her great talents are
more and more appreciated than
ever before and her audiences
are OVERLOOKING. It is the ap-
probation of genius that contln-
ues Sarah Bernhardts popularity
because there is nothing else in
her make up to admire. The
world will always do homage to
transcendent powers such as this
old French woman possesses,
whether it appears in a coy and
yirtuous maiden or in the per-
son Of one whose life is not what
It should be.
