Geo. w. Green Endorsed.

To the Voters of Lee county:
We, the undersigned citizens
of Lee county, realizing the i'm
portance of ability and efficiency
in all public Offices where the in
terest of the people and all pub
lie institutions aye involved, and
more especially the Sheriff's of
flee, upon which devolves the col
lection of all taxes and revenues
of the county, and then the grave
responsibility Of the maintenance
of the peace and dignity of the
county, feel that we should place
a man in this office who possesses
these qualifications. And in view
Of these facts we commend to
you the name of Geo. w. Green.
1t has been our pleasure and priv
ilege to know George Green and
claim him as our friend and
neighbor for more than twenty
years. As to his public life it is
a'matter of record, yet we do not
hesitate to say that he has made
an enviable reputation as a pub.
lie servant in the discharge of his
every duty. Heiis a man of lib
eral clerical attainments of splen-
did executive ability, which Pc
culiarly fits him for this office,
and he enjoys the highest re-
spect and confidence of every one
who knows him. And he merits
these expressions, as he has al
ways proven a true citizen, a
perfect gentleman and a courte-
Gus officer in the discharge ofhis
duty.
We feel that the voters of Lee
county will make no error in ele-
waiting George Green to the high
and responsible office of Sheriff
to conduct its affairs for the next
four years, as we are sure that
he would make a fearless officer
in the discharge of his duty, re-
fecting credit to himself and
honor upon the office.
Respectfully submitted for
your consideration.

Hon. Leroy T. Taylor.

The official count by the State
Executive Committee at jackson
gave to Hon. Leroy L. Taylor
p, 734 votes for trustee of the
State penitentiary from the north
ern district, being only 325 votes
short of the nomination and lead
ing his nearest competitor by
about 5000 votes. In the second
primary We predict that his many
friends will stand by him like 9
stone wall and nominate him by
an overwhelming majority.
Mr.. Taylor is one of Lee coun-
tvs favorite sons and the evil
dence of his popularity among
the people with whom and for
whom he has spent so many years
of>his life. is shown by the large
vote east for him in Lee county
in the first primary, he having
received 211S votes. This is the
highest vote cast for any candi-
date for any Office in any county
in the State. AS a boy, he made
a gallant Confederate soldier.
He represented this senatorial
district in the State senate from
1900 to 1904 with honor to the
people who elected him and credit
to himself. In choosing an Off
cial to take charge of the respon-
sible position to which he aspires
the district could make no mis-
take in selecting Mr.. Taylor.
His record and character as q
business man and citizen fully
justifies us in unqualifedly en-
dorsing him for the place.

Endorsement of L. N.s.Rivers
for Railroad Commissioner.

To the Voters of the Northern
District of Mississippi:
Sincerely approaching the 10y
al support which so many of you
gave the distinguished citizen of
our county, Hon. L N. Rivers,
for Railroad Commissioner, in
the recent primary, wetrust that
we can confidently appeal to you
for further support necessary to
make him the Democratic nomi-
nee for Railroad Commissioner
in the second primary on August
p. His signal ability and the
hattering vote ne received fully
inspires US with hope that will
give him this nomination. He
meets the Jeffersonian require
ments Of the Democrat, and is
both honest and capable. We are
proud of the record he has made
as an officer of this county, and
know that you and the people of
the entire State will be proud of
the record he will make in the
still broader field of public use
fulness to which he aspires.
Mr.. Rivers is a native of Mar
shall county, in the prime oflife,
vigorous in physique, exception
ally equipped as a business man
Of executive ability. He is one
of Mississippi's young men who
has made his own way and
achieved success because he was
worthy of it. He was elected
assessor of this county, and so
efficient was his four years SER
vice in that office that at the eE.d
of his term his fellow citizens
elected him sheriff over a field of
most worthy competitors, though
he was the youngest man in the
race. His conduct Of the sher-
ifs office (Which he is now fill
ing) has been without a blemish,
and has called forth the highest
praise Of the sovereign voters.
His unbroken record Of honorable
achievement as a faithful servant
of the people should appeal to
you.
Mr.. Rivers can look his fellow
citizens in the face and challenge
criticisms Of his official conduct,
which is the inevitable and final
test of a public servant.

giving or receiving Of a rebate is
a criminal offense punishable by
Imprisonment, should be enforced
or repealed. The Press says:
The way to smash the trust
is not with proceedings for dis
solution of the holding company
or fines against the corporation
which must in the end be paid
by the public. The way to do it
is to indict the Rockefellers and
their partners in the violation of
the penal code, send them before
ajury, convict and sentence them
to prison. In order to accom-
plish this all the attorney-gener-
al needs to do is to submit the
case to the grand jury. Over
whelming proof would crowd in
upon him, public sentiment
would do the rest, and the oil
monopoly would be put out of
business.
"Unquestionably such an ap-
plication of the law would have
a material advantage in that it
would not cripple the great in
dustries of the country, or fail
ing III that, wiring the amount of
the fine from the patrons of the
trust. Imprisonment OF the Of
tenders would leave the corpor-
alton intact, fully and forcefully
admonished, however, that flu
ture operations must be conduc-
ted on legitimate business prin-
ciples."

Who VIII Pay the Fine?

Says the Mobile Register: "No
sooner had the first flush of en-
thusiaSm over the assessment of
a fine of S29, 240, 900 against the
Standard Oil Company of India
ana, with a capital stock of ST.
600, 600, coupled with the declar-
alton of Judge Lands that it
was only the nominal defend
ant and that the Standard Oil
Company Of New Jersey, with a
capitalization Of 800, 900, 900, was
the real defendant, died away,
than the public began to analyze
the result Of course, it is prob
lematical whether the conviction
and fine will pass the scrutiny of
the supreme court. In some
quarters selfish interest inspires
the hope that the fine will be
vacated, for otherwise, it is al
legged, it will work a hardship
upon the poorer classes in the
inevitable advance that will be
made in the price of oil. AL
though a writ of error has been
sued out by the defendant with
all possible speed, the case will
not reach a hearing at least I'M
til October, 1908. So doubtful
is the result of the appeal and SO
certain the effect or the affirma-
ton of the judgment upon the
consumers of oil. that some per-
sons are disposed to. censure the
district attorney for not having
proceeded against the defendant

Republican paper, is firmly Of
the opinion that the law as it
now stands, under which the

Pretty Fair Religion.

The following expression of
Justice Brewer, of the United
States supreme court on the sub
ject of religion, will be found to
be good reading:
don't care anything about
creeds. I havn't time to bubble
over theological questions. If |
had the leisure | fancy / should
find theology to be good intel
lectual exercise. | could be
comfortable in a Baptist, Pres
byterian, Methodist or Catholic
church, and even a Jewish syn
agogue. I was reared a Congre-
gationalist, but if my father had
been an Episcopalian, | suppose
| would have been one. / believe
in the creed of Jesus Christ, the
parable of the good Samaritan
and the Golden Rule. No more
is necessary on this earth. | full
ly accept the teachings of the
life of Christ, although | I'M
afraid do not always live up to
them. But life is the most i'm
portant human question-to be
kindly and helpful. There is no
theology in binding up a mans
wounds, giving him wine and
oil, leading him to- an inn and
saying to the landlord, Take
care Of him; and whatever thou
spendest more, when / come
again | viii repay thee" That
is not theology; it is only reli-
gion.
