One Of the most general drawbacks
to individual progress is the disposi-
ton to defer doing things until an
,other time. The value of time by the
generality of people is lightly con-
sidered 1t is the most precious COM
modify we have-upon the proper use
of it depends our every terres-
trial good and also it is linked with
our eternal welfare. It is youch-

we should be diligent in using those
precious bits in doing something that
would contribute to our moral, men

BAER GIVES IN.

The boycott Of the Reading rail
road by its former patrons has proved
effective. Caricatured, threatened,
waited upon by innumerable bodies
of irate men, and facing diminished
passenger and freight receipts, Pres
ident Baer, the man who scorns the
people, has had to give in, and grant
not only the former rates to subur-
ban passengers but even lower ones.
His proud and naughty spirit hence
forth will be more subdued.-Boston

z LETTER FROM NZSSLSSIPPI

you did more as an accident than that
of well-planned proposition. 1t
was all | could do to keep my mouth
shut; but as no one was asking him
or any Of the other candidates any
questions, refrained, by the hardest,
from interrupting him. And to make
matters worse the Meridian Star, the
leading East Mississippi paper, re-
ported Williams as saying that you
(Watson) had got an appropriation
of $4,000 for rural free delivery at.
YOUR HOME POSTOFFICE, thus
making it appear that you was
strictly selfish as to wheres the ex-
pertinent should be made. But please
remember that this last statement was
the making of the Stars and not Mr..
Williams. Williams had it bad
enough, and the Star put 'beauty
spot" on it. "
Mr.. Williams also went on to say
that he was opposed to the repeal
of the 18th Amendment of the U. S.
Constitution, BECAUSE IT COULD
NOT BE DONE. Said that Governor
Vardeman was playing on the cred
ulity of the public when he tried
to make them believe he intended to
try to get the 18th Amendment re-
pealed, for he (Vardeman) knew as
well as he (Williams) that it COULD
NOT BE DONE. Said it was trick
to get In on.
Mr.. Williams also stated, and
wanted it distinctly understood, that
if he was not elected to the Senate,
that HE intended to see that Varde
man, or whoever was elected, voted
FOR or AGAINST government own
ership Of railroads-intended to see
that they did not dodge the question
by being away from Washington, or
not voting. Everybody in Mr. Will
liams' hearing can testify to this
statement. Now, Mr.. Watson, can
you not show to the public where MR..
WILLIAMS HAS DODGED SOME
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS, just the
same way that he DOES NOT intend
for his adversary to do on the rail
road question, if elected? "a
I have not seen any Of the other
newspapers Of the state except the
Meridian papers; but | am confident
that Mr.. Williams speech, or part Of
it, has been scattered broadcast over
the state, and, perhaps, out of the
state, and owing to the prominence
of Mr.. Williams and you, and the
questions connected with you both, [
believe it would be good idea for
you to give the matter some consid-
GRAFTON in a public way. And if you
would like to get Mr.. Williams
"great Lauderdale speech" in full [
presume you could get the Meridian
Star reporter to write you copy
from his stenographic notes. l do
not expect any reply to this letter
Of mine, as you are TOO busy. But
hope to read something in reply to
Williams. Your friend,

| attended a big political rally
and picnic at Lauderdale, Lauderdale
county, this state, on the 18th in
slant. There were fully $500 peo-
pie there. Nearly all the candidates
for state and county Offices were
there, as well as Senator McLaurin,
of this state, and Hon. John S. Viii
iams, member of Congress, and can
didate for U. S. Senate, being an
opponent of Gov. Vardeman.
Lauderdale (Springs) is a great
summer resort, and has for years
been the opening place of state cam
paigns of this state, and whatever
the "big guns" say at this place is
taken as being representative for
the entire state.
Congressman Williams consumed
about two hours and fifteen minutes
in telling what he had done since
he was first elected to Congress, and
what he proposed to do if elected to
the Senate. I heard every word of
his speech, and intended to send
you copy of it, which [ felt sure
the Meridian newspapers would pub
lish in full, as, their reporters were
there and took it all down. But
there was so much Of the speech that
the papers condensed it down, and
utterly destroyed the sense of part
of it. However, wish to say that
you know his past record in Con-
gress better than I, and as to what
he promised for the future-well,
there was not much Of it.
He wanted to go on record that
day and at that place, to be his rec
ord in all parts Of the state, that he
was utterly opposed to government
ownership of railroads, and would
be the next time we heard from him.
He said that the South would be
permeated with Negro conductors,
ticket agents, etc, and that there
would be no way to prevent it. He
spoke over an hour on this railroad
business, and got most people to be-
ieving as he did-but not me. So
I believe it would be a good idea
for you to answer this part Of his
speech through your publications, as
he is the minority leader of the lower
house Of Congress. and you the
champion of government ownership
of railroads. He also took unto him
self all practical credit for the es-
tab1ishment Of the rural mail de-
livery. saying that you was the first
to get an appropriation (of $1O,OO0)
for experimental purposes; but that
you left it optional with the post
master general as to the expenditure

Fourth Of July
Stories
sy Gen. William r. shafter.

Wholesome enthusiasm, whether
fired by the battery of words or gun
powder, is bound to create courage
and stir our brave men to greater
deeds of valor l feel that we cannot
celebrate too much for the glorifica
ton of the greatest day in the his
tory of our union. When l was lit
tie boy looked forward to the Fourth
of July with all of the pleasurable an
ticipation of childhood, and saved my
pennies from Christmas time to lnde-
pendence day to buy the wherewithal
for the fitting and noisy celebration.
1 think, however, my most exciting
Fourth was in the Cuban campaign of
1898. The morning after the Santiago
battle an orderly brought me pa
per containing original doggerel in
seven heroic verses. They were en-.
titled "Phat Gen. Shafter Wint AT.
ther," and the first stanza began:
Now, when Gen. Toral, a Spanish
dago.
Met Gen. Shafter at Santiago,
Sez Gen. Toral to Gen. Shafter.
Be jabbers, old man, now phat are
yeZ after?'
And Gen. Shafter sez: 'Phat dyez
think?'
And gave him the slycst sort of a
wink
I'll get phat I'm after sez Gen
Shafter."
I think that the Fourth of 1898 was
the only celebration I ever took part
in that inspired the muse, for which
am grateful.

He suffered so terribly that my hus-

when lady friend told me to try the

cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day l commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely we'll.

Gus it is, but it's big one, for it
seems to be all over him, and he
weighs 200 pounds. On seeing him
the captain found him looking rather
blue, and instructed the first sergeant
to send him to the surgeon in charge
of corporal.
Soon after breakfast the captain
saw the corporal and asked him how
the man was getting on. "Oh, he's

him up to the hospital tent, and when

The Mules Understood,

A story is told of Senator Knute
Nelson, who spent some of his early
years in a logging camp. He there
discovered the necessity OF certain
emphatic language in order to make
mules move. "All varieties" of
tongues were in demand in that camp:
Scandinavian, German, Italian-but
none of the words used seemed to
have the explosive force to adjust
the tempo of the mule to the desired
pace. Along came strapping Irish
man, who used some popular exple-
tives, usually indicated in print by
