LAX EXECUTION OF THE
LAWS.

The Secretary of Agriculture is
obviously not entirely in sympathy
with his muck raking political boss
for the passage of more stringent
inspection of the meat industry.
For in reply to suggestion from
Mayor Dunno that a commission
of patrhologists be appointed to
look into the present methods Of
beef inspection, Secretary Wilson
says, that the laws of this country
are more stringent than in any for
eigu country. If the laws are so
stringent, it Is evident that IKE exs
action has been lax and there in
Mr.. Wilson and the President are
to blame, for if Secretary Wilson
is not capable of enforcing the law
President Roosevelt could at once
remove him and appoint some one
who is a more competent executive
officer. There are nearly 1000
highly paid experts whose duty it
is to inspect cattle and meat and
incidentlly, of course, TO report
on the general cleanliness of the
methods employed. Not one of
these experts has reported that
anything was wrong in that depart
ment, or if they did report anything
unfavorable, it has been pigeon
hoied by the higher officials.

ANOTHER.

A week ago the American casu.
ally observed that almost every
considerable town" i'll Mississip-
pi was having trouble with its
water works.
Very promptly the Natchez pa
pers corrected the American, which
apologized duly.
Now comes the Rosedale Demo
crat, which publishes the whole
unhappy correspondence - the
Americans assertion, the indig-
nant rebuke of Natchez, and the
modest attempt of this PAPER to
apologize and propitiate the wrath
it had called down. In addition
the Democrat observes:
"Rosedale owns her own water
works and we have one of the best
systems in the State and the best
water. Besides this, the plant is
paying proposition from a hnan'
cial standpoint.
Again the American apologize
and rejoices that Rosedale is free
from care. But apologies soor
become fnonotonous. We do moi
know how many other consider
able towns" are going to insist on
recognition of their Importance and
the excellence of their waterworks;
so without further parley the
American hereby declares that in
its estimation every town ths owns
its watcrworks is a considerable
town." and deserves the respect
and emulation of Vicksburg. More
betsken, Rosedale is doubly con.
siderable" and fortunate; for 1t is
the home of the man who will bt
the best governor Mississippi has
had since the war.

MAYORS WATER CUT OFF.

Vicksburg, Miss, June 26.-The exc
ctitive committee of the Business League
and the hoard of directors OF the Board
Of TRACE held a meeting today for the
purpose of considering the feasibility of
forming company for the erection Of
a waterworks plant. The citizens and
the city have been having a great deal
of trouble with the present -waterworks
management for several years past, and
it is alleged that the company has great
ly increased the cost of water. Recently
large bill Tor water used at his resi-
dence was presented to Mayor Griffith.
It's pay ment was refused on the ground
that the charges were excessive. The
water company has now cut off Mayor
GriIfith's water supply. Under the terms
OF an injunction Mayor Griffith is at
present prevented from bringing suit
against the water company but later
will probably sue the company for dam
ages.

S. T. RUCKS FOR SHERIFF.

Our old friend and teacher an
nounces for this important office.
AS far back as we can review our
boyhood career, Prof. S. T. Rucks
was one of Our best friends and
advisors. While teaching the public
school at Greenville, Miss, in 1881,
'S2 and 80, he made the school
popular and attractive. Some of
the best and worst boys in the Del
ta-Judge Percy Bell of Greenville,
DIR. J. L. William, of Benoit, and
the editor. being among the pu-
pills.
Mr.. Rucks came into Bolivar
county in 1888 as one of the con
tractors of the Yazoo and Missi-
sippi Valley Railroad and was iden-
tilted here with them and operated
large timber and real estate busi-
ness for some twelve years. He
then embarked in the hardware
business as a travelling salesman
and now operates one of the larg-
est hardware and furniture
establishments in the state, at
Cleveland. We doubt if any man
has more friends in Bolivar county
than S. 7. Rucks. By education,
experience and makeup he is every
way qualified to discharge the
duties of the Office; and while we
arc hands off i'll the family fight for
county Offices and do not commit
ourself to the support of any one

say this much for our old friend

relations existing between us.

VINCENT MILLS BURN.

For the fifth time within the last
three years the Vincent Lumber
mill, located OH the Peavine rail-
road, are a smoulding mass of ruin,
and we are informed that they will
not be rebuilt. The late mill was
located at Victor, where it had been
in operation for little more than a
year.
Fire broke out in the commits
sary, about 2 O'Clock Monday
morning and was beyond control
when discovered. Its origin is
unknown. Within short time it
had communicated to the stacks of
lumber on either side and to the
mill. There was on the yard about
a million and half feet of lumber,
mostly hardwood variety and VAL
liable, and this was all destroyed
excepting two or three car loads.
About a year ago the Vincent
lumber interests were incorporated
and the business was pushed as
the rainy season would permit.
A. ]. Vincint, the head Of the
company, is one of the best known
lumber and mill men in the South
and a man of the highest integrity.
We understand that insurance
was carried both on the commits
sary and mill and OH the stock of
lumber. How nearly this repre-
sents the loss we are not able to
say. Mr.. Vincent many friends
will further regret that he has de-
cided to go elshwhere.-Cleveland

was ssimply following custom, .
