Wants Peace and Harmony.

Moseley, Miss, April 10 Editor
News: I notice through the press of
the state there seems to be some
trouble between our beloved governor
and our much esteemed friends, the
MoLaurins. Now, I don't know the
occasion for this trouble, where it
commenced or where it will eEd, but
it does seem to me, a simple minded
fellow like I am, that as broad mind.
ed and profound thinkers as the gentle
men referred to, could adjust this mat
ter without its going the rounds of
the state. don't know who is wrong,
but somebody is wrong Now, the
Book of Books teaches us that if we
don't forgive our BROTHER his tres
passes neither will your heavenly
Father forgive you your trespasses.
Personally, / have nothing against the
governor or the McLaurins. | know
but little of the governors past life,
whether it be good or bad; the Nc.
Laurins have known all my life. I
never knew them to be guilty of but
one bad habit, and that was to shake
hands with the poor people and treat
them with due respect, and that has
touched tender chord in the hearts
of the common people of Mississippi
that will vibrate as long as Uncle
Anse lives and will build monuments
to his memory when he is dead. 1t
was he who came from the pillow
handles and became the leader of his
people. The frost of years adorn his
head, and yet his peer is not found in
the grand old state of Mississippi.
The divine Book says "blessed is
the peacemaker I would ask the
one who is wrong if he can see his
wrong to get right, and as the negro
says, 'fess up" If the leaders Of
the people quarrel what could be ex-
pected Of the people? Trusting this
matter may have speedy termination,
I am friend to both parties,

HAS CAUSED A STIR.
Governor Names Chancellor Ahead of
Time.

Considerable surprise, and no small
amount of indignation. has been
aroused over the governors announce
ment that he will appoint Capt. l. T.
Blount, of Water Valley. as chancellor
of the third district to succeed Chan
cellor Wilson, who has announced
that he will return to private practice
at the expiration of his term in July,
1907.
There are no personal objections to
the selection of Capt Blount for this
place, as he is one of the foremost
lawyers of the state, and an excellent
gentleman, but it SO happens that
there is another aspirant for the chan
cellorship in the person of Hon W A.
Mcdonald, of Ashland. and the COVER
nor was formally notified several
weeks ago that Mr.. McDonald's friends
would present petitions asking that he
be appointed to the place. They now
contend that the governor has utterly
ASShOAO0 S4iOAA ANAuOCus ACLAoihS ONOA
to await the filing of the petitions. but
has written letter to Capt. Blount
promising him the place fully fifteen
months in advance Of the date on
which vacancy occurs; that this is a
violation of all precedent, and a flag
grant disregard of the rule of courtesy
that has always prevailed in making
judicial appointments
In connection with the selection of
Capt. Blount, it will be remembered
that he was an applicant for the circuit
judgship of the eleventh district sever
al weeks ago, the governor filling the
place, however, by reappointing Judge
Sam @ Crook. and it was believed at
the time that he had something else
in store for Capt. Blount, who has al
ways been his warm person al and po-
litical friend. jackson Evening

Direct To The Spinners.

party OF English spinners are at
present inspecting cotton plantation
conditions, The party is credited
with harboring purpose of buying
large cotton acreages at different
places throughout the cotton belt
The idea seems to be to get enough
land to supply the mills belonging to
this particular syndicate.
Whether the plan will come to a
head cannot be predicted, but if any
thing should come of it, these par
ticular spinners would certainly be
independent of the expenses of midle.
men and the uncertainties of specula-
tion in the supply of cotton for their
spindles.
The plan is not altogether original
with this particular party. Years
ago, southern planters agitated a
movement contemplating enterprises
of this kind where the spinners of the
cotton should also be owners of the
land that raised it This first move
ment was of short duration, probably
because all the capital at that time
was at the other end of the world.
Now it seems the thought has found
its way to the spinners, where if it
grows serious at all there can be no
great difficulty in carrying it into
execution. The condition would be
more or less ideal-certainly 1t ought
to prove more economical than present
methods, and consequently more
satisfactory.
Cotton from the plantation directly
to the spinner would escape world
OF charges, and at the present time
would deliver solar plexus blow at
the bulls and bears, who toss the
staple to and fro until they have
shaken from it and the people enor-
nous fortunes.
OF course if the plan Is good for
England it ought to be beneficial to
America. If English spinners should
find it profitable and comforting to
own land and raise all the cotton they
consume, our southern mills ought to be
able to gain even more satisfaction
from the plan.
1t would, however, diminish the
income of commission merchants and
practically eliminate the cotton
buyer. But it would enhance the
value of cotton lands and elevate to
its proper place of dignity the bust
ness of cotton raising. The plantation
manager would become the man of
the hour, and the cotton agricultural
ist would be sought for as never be-
fore.
The scheme savors of socialism,
and in this aspect is not pleasant to
contemplate, but in spite of this
feature there remain many attributes
of benefit that are calculated to rec.
ommend it for adoption. 90 Commercial
Appeal.

HOPES DIR. NEALENwILL ACCEPT.

IT He members OF the State Grange who are
4 urging DR.. A. 7. Neale to accept the posi-
ton offered him by the trustees of Delaware Col
lege are making the best what they are CON
vinced, is bad job. They do not wish to lose the
service of DR.. Neale and it is not likely that the
majority Of the trustees who have enjoyed a new
professor, will recede from their position 1t is
to be hoped that DR.. Neale will comply with the
request Of his granger friends Evidently they
regard him as too valuable man to lose and
most people familiar with DR.. Neale's work for
the farmers OF the state will agree with them.
The new position may relieve DR.. Neale Of
work that was perhaps, unpleasant to him, and
he will be able to devote his time to fields OF
labor that are suited to his unquestioned talents
The fact that this year promises to be large
one for the fruit growers OF the state will bring
fruit culture again to the fore and the experiment
station and agricultural department of the college
viii find heavy demands made upon them if it
proposes to continue a service to the state that
is efficient and practical 1t is OF the highest inn
portance that the experimental station shall be,
equipped to deal with the problems of pests and
fruit culture that will confront a revival of the
industry.
