Miss Emma Gaughan reviewed the
life of Tennyson, the worlds famous
poet, in IN able manner, and deduced
many inspiring conclusions from
such a life as by genius and super
iority had penned wondrous beauties
of Nature for posterity and all time.
From his poems the lesson comes,
the echo of life and It is the sweet
odor Of virtue and not the pernic-
ious influence of vice.
Miss Joanna Mailman recited 1.-THE
Last Hymn" wildly and touchingly
describing the awfulness Of a ship
wreck and the loss Of all at sea, as
sociating the hymn, "Jesus, Lover Of
My Soul" as the last words of hope
to those doomed to the watery grave.
She evoked much emotion and ap-
plause.
Miss Ella Casey in an essay, en-
titled, "A Glance at the Future, !"
spoke entertainingly and logically
about ideals and brought out that
they must be entire and that the
goal could not be reached by doing
things but half way. She presented
well the history of the course OF
human life, with its joys and sor-
rows, emphasized the fact that to
live nobly is the aim of model life,
do useful work and sacrifice for the
benefit of mankind. She dwelt es-
pecially on the heavenly influence
of woman in domestic circles, IL prop
erly directed and expressed the belief
that the women of the present will
ever keep up the proud record of the
noble women in the past in this
sphere.
Miss Julia Devaney very inter
estingly, capably and pleasingly gave
a brief but complete resume of the
life of Mary Queen Of Scots. regard
ing her as one of the greatest and
noblest heroines the world ever
knew and as pure in mind and heart
as woman can ever be here below.
Faith, hope and charity was hers in
all her long prison life and trials
and hardships, indeed, the lovliest
character in all history. Miss De-
yaney's comparison OF her to Queen
Elizabeth painted two pictures-one
Of soul loneliness, the other of soul
sinfulness.
Miss Anna Dolan drew beautiful

Just before the address by the

State Makes Strides

One Of the giants OF the union in
TIE eztent and valuation of its
mineral wealth, West Virginia. is
ssiil marching ON toward the head
Of the list.
NOT only IS this state greater in
her production of coal, bat also In
the quality of the fuel that comes
from the mines. Preliminary tests
made at the fuel testing station of
the United States Geological Survey
in st. Louis, Mo-, prove that some Of
the best steaming Goals of the eoun.
try are found in West Virginia. One
hundred and seventy-ive chemical
analyses of this coal give range in
British thermal units from 1880,
the lowest, to 1895, the highest.
The steam tests made at st. Louis
show that all the West Virginia
Goals are high grade steam Goals
in fact they are decidedly In the lead
in this respec of all Goals tested.
Coal from the ouinnimont bed ON
New River showed nearly $1,000
British thermal units.
All of tn ecoals from this state
are coking Goals, but notwithstand-
ing this fact coling tests were made
at st. Louis, In several cases these
tests were made in connection with
washing tests to Sc if the quality
OF coke could not be improved.
The results were most satisfactory,
An interesting and most import
ant part of the experimental work
of the government experts was in
the making of what is called "briq-
uettes." These are cakes of waste
coal mixed with tar, the whole press
ed together compactly by machinery.
1t is the latest and most satisfactory
method yet devised for the utiliza-
ton of the waste from the mines.
In briquetting, the tests which have
the most direct bearing on the fuel
question of this state are those
which produced briquettes from coke
breeze (waste) with or without the
addition of a small amount OF fresh
coal.
The briquettes made by both
methods were hard and burned we'll,
and doubtless would make a good
substitute for anthracite coal. The
results obtained with New River
coal and coke could without ques-
ton be duplicated with any other
coking coal of the state and it
seems that this might open up new
industry which would utilize waste
product and produce valuable
fuel.
Probably the most important of
the results accomplished has been
the manner in which these bitumin-
Gus Goals can be used in the man
ufacture of producer gas. the gas

combustion engines for the deyel-
opment of power. Such lists were

WHY NOT A SOUTHERN MAN
For the Nations Chief Executive in
Nineteen Hundred and Eight

By 1908 it will have been sixty
years since Southern man was cleo
ted President Some forty-hve
years ago a Southern man was cleo
ted vice president, and succeeded to
the presidency upon the death of Mr..
Lincoln; but in 1864 johnson was a
Southern man of Northern principles,
and that was Why he was nominated.
From Washington TO Jackson, both
inclusive, period of forty-e1ght
years, the South supplied FIVE presi''
dents, each of whom was given two
terms, but the scepter departed out
of that land and it will not return
until the South shall resolbe to assert
her full and complete sisterhood in
the American Union.
There are Democrats in the South
as capable as any Democrat or any
Republican of the dominant section.
ANY one of a dozen Southern Demo-
Gratis who might be named would
poll as many votes at the North ae
any Northern Democrat could poll
but the South has acquired the habit
OF meekness, and been content to do
the bulk of the voting in the electoral
college for men selected by the
North
And we do not discover any signs
that the South contcInpiates assert
ing her rights N the party For
threescore years the office OF pres1-
dent has been Northern asset. and

been ever since the first sectional
ticket-Lincoln and Hamlin-was

Might it not be a wholesome thing
for the Southern people to assert
themselves, take up a Southern man,
nominate hmi, and challenge the
North for a showdown of real Amer
icanism. which being interpreted, is
the equality of States, the equality of
sections, and the equality OF men?

BONDS WILL BE PAID
States Bishop Galloway, Before the
Mississippi Press Association

Jackson, Miss.-Thus far none of
lative aspirants, have publicly ex-
pressed themselves concerning the
proposition to pay the repudiated
bond issue amounting to about eight
and one-half million dollars, and it
IS not regarded as likely that this
venerable ghost will become live
issue IN the State campaign.
As it would be necessary to secure
the repeal of clause of the constr
tuition before the legislature could
consider an act for the cancellation
of the ante-bellum bonds, the guber-
Material candidates are not directly
concerned with the question and. in
well-informed circles, the belief pre-
walls that it would be nothing short
of political suicide for a candidate to
openly declare himself in favor of
the proposed payment.
Bishop Charles B.Galloway, whose
address before the Mississippi Press
states very frankly that he does nor
expect to see the matter considered
IN the next legislative assembly, nor
the one next succeeding, but he be-
leves that the public conscience will
ultimately be aroused, and the bonds
called in for cancellation. His men
ton of the matter before the conven-
ton of editors was purely ethical in
character, and in nowise concerned
with the so-called movement that has
since been launched to secure lcgis-
1ative consideration at the coming
session.
To make the repudiated bonds an
issue in the present State campaign
will be utterly impossible. The cam
didates for the various Offices will
not advocate a cause they know to b.
hopeless, regardless OF what may be
its moral aspects, especially when
they already have a choice stock Of
subjects believed TO be very vital in
character, and necessary of early So
