Never be idle.
Make few promises.
Always speak the truth.
Never speak i'll of anyone.
Keep good company or none.
Live up to your engagements.
Be just before you are generous.

Drink no kind of intoxicating
drinks.
Good character is above all things

Keep your own secrets if you
have any.
Never borrow if you can posi-
bly avoid it.
Never play at any kind of games
of chance.
Keep your promises if you would
be happy.
Make no haste to be rich, if you

When you speak to a person,
look him in the face.
Save when you are young, to
spend when you are old.
Never run in debt unless you see
way to get out again.
Avoid temptation, through fear

Ever live misfortune excepted)

Onaii anu steady gains give CON-

1t anyone speaks evil of you, let
your life be SO that none will be-
lieve him.
Ii your hands cannot be useful
|y employed, attend to the cultiva-
tiCn of the mind.

Professor Aswell Honored.
States.


Announcement WAS made in the
news dispatches yesterday morn
ing OF the election of Professor
james Il. Aswell to the head Of the
University of Mississippi, located
at Oxford. Prof. .Aswell is now
serving as State Superintendent of
Public Education in this State,
having been nominated and cleo
ted TO that important office with
out opposition in 1904. His splen-
did work while serving Louisiana
in that capacity attracted wide at
tention throughout the country,
and lie is today regarded as one of
the ablest and most accomplished
EDUCATORS in the South.
Unfortunately the scandalously
small salary which this State pays
to her Superintendent of Educa-
ton makes it impossible for us to
keep in that position "A man of Mr..
Aswell's capacity and attainmrnts.
We pay Sheriffs and other officers
not so important princely fees,
but when it comes to the State Su-
periDtendent of Education the sa-
larry is $1,000, not reall y enough
to properly compensate good
school-teacber. We cannot hope
to keep that office filled by real
ly competent man, SO long as we
remunerate him in such nlggardly
fashion. and if, 10y chance, We
should secure a man of Mr.. AS
wells attachments. he cannot stay
long with us, because all over the
country there is demand for talent
in school work, and good salaries
await competent men. :.
Professor Aswell is distinctly
Louisiana product, having worked
his way up in bis native State
from the old field school to the
head of the States educational
system; and now he is bonored by
our sister State by election to the
head of her great university, which
is one of the oldest and most wide
ly known State institutions in the
Southwest. The selection is a
high compliment to Louisiana, and
Mississippi is to be congratulated
upon the excellence of her choice.
Mr.. Aswell is still a young mau,
not yet having reached the zenith
OF bis powers, but already he is
regarded as one of the leaders in
American educational work. That
he will give a good account of
himself in his new field of labor
We have not the slightest doubt.

The Franklin Waterman says
"The Federal Senate has passed
the bill giving the government the
right to appeal in criminal cases.
Now let the various states come in
aud enact the same law, and the
foolish verdicts of juries will pass
away. When the records are sub.
Ject to review by a higher tribu.
nal juries will commence to rem
der verdicts according to the law
ani the evidence in place of the
ridiculous, sentimental hand out
which now obtain liz its place.
People forget the dead man. his
widow and babies, the misfortupes
and hardships they are forced to
suffer, but if they were placed
alongside the criminal at the bar.
there would be no necessity for
any violation of any statute. As
we are now, the unwritten kind is
bigger than the stipulated quality,
which is all out of joint.

An interesting interview was re- gently obtained with L. T. Cooper, the young man whose theory and medi- cines have created such g. sensation during the past year.
 MT. Cooper, in speaking of the re- markable success of his medicine, had this to say on the subject: "My medi- cine regulates the stomach. That is why it is successful. The human stom. ach today has become degenerate, and is the cause for most i'll health. In the horse, the dog, and the wild ani- mals generally, you see no nerve ex. haustion, no chronic debility. They are not shut up day after day with practically no exercise, and they are not able to stuff themselves with food when their bodies have not had enough work to justify it. The human race has been doing this for years, and look at the result-half the people are complaining of poor health, not real illness-just a half.sick, tired, droopy feeling. They don't really know what is the matter with them.
 "I know that all the trouble is caused by weak, overworked stom- achs. I have proved this with my medicine to many thousands of peo. pie in most of the leading cities of this country. expect to do the same thing in Europe next year. This is the real reason for the demand for my preparation"
