Tribute TO q Dog.

Senator Vest, of Missouri, was at
tending court in country towp, and
while waiting for the trial of case in
which be was interested, he was urged
by the attorneys in dog case to help
them. He was paid fee of $3.50 by
the plaintiff. Voluminous evidence
was introduced to show that the de-
fendant had shot the dog in malice,
while the other evidence went to show
that the dog bad attacked the defend
ant. Vest took no part in the trial and
was not disposed to speak. The attor-
neys, however, urged him to make a
speech, else their client would not
think be had earned bis fee. Being
thus urged, he arose, scanned the face
Of each juryman for a moment, and
said;
"Gentlemen of the jury-The best
friend man has in the world may
turn against him and become his en-
emy. His son or daughter that be has
reared with loving care may prove un-
grateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us, those whom we trust
with our Happiness and our our good
name, may become traitors to their
faith. The money that q man has
he may lose. 1T flies away, perhaps,
when he needs it most. A mans re-
putation may be sacrificed in mom-
ent of ill-considered action. The peo-
pie who are to fall on their knees to do
US honor when success is with us may
be the first to throw the stone of NAL
ice when failure settles its cloud upon
our heads. The one unselfish friend
that man can have In this selfish
world, the one that never deserts him,
the one that never proves ungrateful
or treacherous, is bis dog. A mans
dog stands by him in prosperity and
poverty, in health and sickness. He
will sleep on the cold ground, where
the winds blow, and the snow drives
ficrcely, if only he may be near his
masters side. He will kiss the hand
that has no food to offer he will lick
the wounds and sores that come In en-
counter with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sheep of his
pauper master az if be were prince.
When all other friends desert he re-
mains. When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces, be is as con-
stant In bis love az the sun in it's jour.
neys through the heavens.
"If fortune drives the master forth
an outcast III the world, friendless and
homeless, the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that of accom-
panying him, to guard him against
danger, to fight against his enemies.
And when the last scene of all comes,
and death takes the master in its en-
brace, and his body is laid away in the
cold ground, no matter if all other
friends pursue their way, there by the
graveside will the noble dog be found,
his head between his paws, his eyes
sad, but open in alert watchfulness,
faithful and true even In death"
Then Vest sat down. He had spok-
en- in low voice, without any gesture.
He made 40 reference to the evidence
or the merits of the case. When he
finished, judge and jury were wiping
their eyes. The jury returned a YER
dict in favor of the plaintiff for $500.
He had sued for $500.

FARMERS MAKE PLEDGE.
Work for 1905 Mapped 0ut at Meeting
of Georgia Division Of Cotton
Association.

District organizers will be sent into
each congressional district of the state
to more strongly organize the Geor-
gia division of the Southern Cotton
Association in every county of Geor-
gia during 1906. and the work will be
pushed as it has not been before
since the association was organized.
This important step was determined
upon by the Georgia division, which
met in annual convention at the state
capitol in Atlanta Wednesday.
Among other resolutions passed by
The convention was one prescribing d
pledge for the Georgia members that
hey will not, during 1906, plant more
than 16 acres Of cotton to the plOw,
and that they will besides raise at
home a full supply OF provisions for
home consumption.
President M. L. Johnson and prac
tically all Of the old officers of the
Georgia division were reelected to
serve during the new year.
Every speaker had something to
say about the prosperous conditions
prevalent in the state, and alluded
to the fact that there is more money
in the country now than there has
been since 1860. Il
This was particularly noticeable in
the strong address of President Jor-
Ian, who also warned the association
against the danger of allowing poll
tics to enter it's deliberations, because
the history of other associations of a
like character showed their wreck had
been due to this very fact.
A resolution endorsing President
Jordan for reelection to the presi-
dency of the Southern Cotton Asso-
citation at the coming meeting in New
Orleans; endorsing Richard Cheat
ham for re election as secretary Of
the central association and indorsing
John D. Walker of Hancock, treas
urer of the Georgia division for the
position of treasurer of the national
association, was unanimously adopt
ed. This resolution will be transmit
Ted to the New Orleans convention.

NEGRO IS RETROGRADING.
Such is Declaration Of Governor Var
daman in Opposition to State Aid
of Colored Schools.

Governor James K. vardaman, in
his annual message to the Mississippi
legislature, which assembled Tuesday,
again took strong stand against
spending public money for the educa-
ton of the negro, saying, in part:
What. shall we do with the negro?
Certainly the education suited to the
white child does not suit the negro.
This has been demonstrated by 40
years of experience, and the expendi-
ture in the southern states of nearly
$3O0,OOO,OO0.
"As race, the negro is deteriorat-
ing morally every day. Time has
demonstrated that he is more criminal
as a free man than as a slave, that
he is increasing in criminality with
fearful rapidity, being one-third more
criminal in 1890 than he was in $780,
The startling facts revealed by the
census show that those who can read
and write are more criminal than the
illiterate, which is true OF no other
element of our population.
"In the south, Mississippi particu-
larly, know he is growing worse
every year. You can scarcely pick up
a newspaper whose pages are not
blackened with an account of an I'M
mentionable crime committed by ne
gro brute and this crime I want to
impress upon you is but the mani
festation of the Negroes aspiration for
social equality, encouraged largely by
the character Of free education ID
vogue, which the state is levying rib
ute upon the white people to main
tain.
"It is your function to put a stop
to the worse than wasting half mil
ion dollars annually-money taken
from the telling white mem and wo-
men of Mississippi-an devoted to
the purpose Of trying to make some
thing of the negro which the Great
Architect of the Universe failed to
provide for in the original plan OF
creation"
