THE FREE PASS CLAUSE.

In communication to tile New
York Journal of Commerce railroad
official who seems to he n man OF con-
siderable common sens. ridicules the
ruling Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on the free pass clause OF the
new railroad rate law in so tar as
bears on the privilege of newspaper adj
vertising space for exchange i'll valuable
advertising space for transportation on
the railways. He contend, quite cor
rectlv that the advertising which new:- -
papers give for complimentary trans
portabion has a certain fixed money
value. hencea fair exchange of coinmod-
tiles between thc railroads and the news
popcrs does not constitute a violation
of either the terms or the spirit OF the
rate law.
The railroad official goes further and
contends that it would not be lawful
for the railroads to "name a lower rate
to a newspaper for the transportation
il receives. nor would it be lawful on
the other hand if the newspaper charg-
ed less than the established rate tor the
advertising space the railroads take III
exchnrge for transportation.
This unq1cstionably is common
sene view ot ,hs matter, but the Inter
state Commerce Commission has rule'
other wise aud this ruling will stand I'M
til the law is ammended which It VIII p'
at the next session of Congress, Tor 1T Il
the consensus of opinion among raiiroat
men that the trainers of the rate la"
"never contemplated anything SO absur'
and drastic" as prohibiting the exchange
OF advertising space i'll the newspapers
for transportation OIL tho railroads.

AFTER DELTA LAND.

REPRESENTATIVES of several large furn'-
tire manufacturing concerns i'll Illinois,
Iowa. Indiana and Ohio are touring the
Mississippi Delta in search OF hard wood
timber tracts of from two to ten thous-
acres, and express Willingness to pay
fancy prices tor desirable lands.
These gents frankly state that they
have been compelled to look to the South
lor future timber supply; and that the
forests of the North have been exhaust
ed. and unless timber OF the quantity
quality desired crn he procured some
of the factories will be compelled to
close down in the near future.
In the Delta many thousand OF acres
of lands will change hands within the
next few weeks, and it is hard to con-
ceive. when the matter is viewed from a
strictly business standpoint why the
factories in question do not move to the
South instead of mourning the expense
OF having their timber supplies shipped
over long distances. The establishment
ot furniture factories i'll the Delta is
form ofmanuiactur ng industry to winch
a great deal ofcapital is Being attracted
at present. but the enterprises are Chief
lv backed by home capatalists.-C'arks-

HON. CHAS. SCOTT.


Notice of the local papers that an
nounced the arrival of the Hon. Chas.
Scott at the various towns on his line
march from the Tennessee line to the
Gulf told of the good opinions he has
won in portions of the state where he
was comparatively unacquainted before.
No less than seven of these press refec-
tors of popular sentiment announced
their preference for Scott. after meeting
him. This is simply indicative OF the
appreciation OF a true man-the COM
mon, face to tace recognition of the right
man for the place OF governor OF the
state. He does not build his way up to
pull his opportunities down. Nor is he
seeking te win favor by infaming pre-
judice. pandering to popular fances and
fads. In other words Scott is winning
the people and the papers to his support
through impressions OF his intelligent
views of public duties. his patriotic
ideals, and the possession Of the cour-
age ofconviction upon principles of right
and fair dealing g.-Vicksburg Herald.

WHAT SHALL WE DO TO BE
SAVED?"

III another place we present to Our
readers cut of Hon. Charles Scott, who
from every indication will be the next
governor of Mississippi.
He has just finished his famous ride
from the Tennessee line through the
state to the gulf, and it will lie seen he
is mounted OH his famous horse, "Elec-
tioneer" who was his sole companion
throughout the trip.
On his famous ride he met with
welcome OH every hand, and the en-
couragemene lie received was such rs to
make his friends feel proud of him.
1t is wo derfuL as to the strength he
has developed since he first announced
his intention to run for the Office. His
strength is not III one section OF the
state, but is from the north to the south,
from the east to the west, i'll fact 1t is
from all over the state. So strong is he
that every few weeks the other four
candidates meet together and throw
their hands to each other and exclaiin:
"What shall We do to be saved'"-

DON'T JOKE IN ENGLAND.
Warning in the Fate Of Paragraph
About Famous "Big Benz"

The worst of the sportive style In
news writing is that 1t sometimes
leads to misunderstanding. The Lon
don correspondent of Manchester
paper sent the other day humorous
account of the renewing of the hands
of the great clock of parliament 1t
ran thus:
"A well-known character, who has
lived in Westminster all his life and
is familiarly known to many London
ers as 'Ben,' underwent serious op-
Grafton this morning.
GAS Westminster hospital was too
full to allow of him having bed,
the operation was carried out by two
doctors in the open air and in the
presence of large crowd.
Both of Ben's hands were taken
off-successfully and rapidly A new
pair will be provided for him."
This seemed curious but by no
means an amusing piece of intelli-
gence to the Manchester staff Of the
paper. They put it in a prominent
position among the days painful oc.
currences, next to paragraph headed
Maniac Kills Seven," and gave 1t the
following headlines:
OPERATION IN THE OPEN AIR.
Big London Crowd Watched Mans g
Hands Taken on.
Which proved that it is, even In
these frivolous times, still possible
to be too funny.-London News.

The importance of woman as news

reports, politics and the happenings OF
the world at large are no longer suffi-

daughter want more than the society
colmn for their portion and. as every
man knows, what the women wan,

One oil the big Southern papers wliiel,

He Excepted the Captain.

Passing the pantry of his boat one
day, Capt. Birch of Gloucester, Mass,
overheard one of the cabin boys in
dulging in animadversions on the Of
ficers and crew. He turned a very
severe countenance upon the boy and
said: Young man, hereafter when
you have anything to say about any
one about the boat, please except the
captain"
A few days later, when the captain
happened to be on deck, the same
cabin boy carried past him dish of
food prepared for the table, and pet
hog running between the boys legs
upset him, scattering the food.
Picking himself up, with a most
rueful countenance. the. boy COM
menced berating the hog. "You are
the miserablest hog l even seen" he
began, when, catching a view of the
old man, and remembering his injunc'
ton, he added, except the captain"
The boy has had secure berth on
Capt. Birch's boat ever since.

Some Interesting Com
ments by the Press.
HON. CHARLES SCOTT.

1t has been the party or the man that
has controlled the votes that elected the
Goyernor. The present campaign has
both in the Hon Coarles Scott. The
man who will be highest. in power,
honor and position in the good old state
OF Mississippi, III seeking that position
must risk the opposition and reproach
| of his rival candidates, the press ana Op-
posing parties. Mr.. Scott has done this
and the rest has been that his past
/ lite is without reproacl and has strength
cued the confidence OF the people i'll him.
1t is true his sonl has many hungers and
thirst, and the nobler the soul the more
of these hnngerings aud the more intense
the hunger. Aud the world with its
golden opportunities can never satisfy
the soul. This is the sign of its divine
nature and greatness. To lie Governor
OF Mississippi is Mr.. SCOTS ambition,
not for the good he can do himself, but
for the good he eau do the state of Mis-
sissippi No one would doubt his abili-
tv when he has made himself before trying
to make the state Il success. He is
man OF fearless aud open in his observa-
tions. He has never hestated 10 speak
the truth for fear it might awaken the
conscious and offend some OF his illus
trious hearers, though he is courageous
and truthful and only spoke when the
man he referred to was present to ques-
He is not man to hesitate to saye an
other from any wrong because he has
not been introduced. yet lie is like sur
geon who does not hesitate to use the
knife when necessary to save, and stands
upon the platform of honesty ofpurpose.
These characters many men can not tail
to be recognized and merit the support
and good wishes from every one who
casts an honest vote to elect q governor
OF any state whose intentions are 20
elect a Governor and fill that chair.
Political parties are like band of hun
ters who search for the skin of the beast
whose hide is worth the most in gold to
them. The man they support is the 81
lent horn in the political band. He has
an instrument and is apparently maxi
ing music but he only takes the show
aud is in reality the figure head.
Mr.. Scott has never been sensational
in his Speeches: He has defended him
self to turn back the tide that has wash
ed against his political platform The
foundation of the Demoetatic party that
has weathered many storan.-Vicks-

"Uncle Johns" Chicken Deal.

Down in South China, Me-, was
good old Quaker, Uncle John Jones,
whom everyone knew and respected.
A slight defect in his speech added in

raised poultry along with the other
products of his farm. One morning
he discovered that a number OF his
chickens were missing. Having his
suspicious as to who the thief might
be. he lay low, and finally recovered
his loss.
Upon his next visit to the corner
grocery store the loungers were in
terested to know how he recovered
them. Uncle John said: Il went to
that fellow for the third and last
time, and told him to bring back my
chickens, and he brought back chick
ems that l had and chickens that
never knew l had"
