certain statements made by VIM. j.
Long regarding wild animals were
false, he stands in danger of being
himself forced to join the ranks of
his famous Ananias club. Whenever
persons have made statements which

politely calling them liars, and has
accused so many people who are
known to be honest of mendacity that
those SO stigmatized are facetiously
referred to by the press as members
of Roosevelt's Ananias Club. Mr..

The difference of John Sharp Will
liams' position and that of Governor
Vardaman is that Vardaman favors
something which the people want and
which Williams says that they can't
get, while Williams is against some
thing which the people don't want
and which they can't get. Both would
require amendments to the Federal
constitution before they could become
effective Vardaman is fighting for a

have been blind to the day of reckon
! ing until there appeared the hand
writing on the wall. In a time when
mems minds were in turmoil OF
passion and prejudice, McLaurin was
thrown up like rotten drift on the
surface of the political current.
Realizing that he is rapidly sinking
| into his normal state of noxious de-
suetude, he has sought resuscitation
through the election for Governor of
JEFF Truly; a worthy pupil. He has
been forced TO see that his man is a
fat failure as candidate. To brace
him up is the sole purpose of his
wanton and slanderous attack upon
the Herald But he will fool no one.
His course is run. His personality
suggests nothing but bad odors. He
could not carry single congression-
al district in the State. He boasts
that he was reelected in 1903 with
out opposition. He fails to say that,
though at the head OF the ticket, he
ran behind it. nearly $4,000 votes.
and thousands of votes behind four
other candidates who ran without op-
position. He failed to say that after
and not before, he had secured his
own election in the first primary, he
sneaked in an attack on Vardaman
that was paraded over the State by
his claquers as the finish of the long
haired man. Then the result should
have opened his eyes that he was a
back number. Vardaman carried the
State by nearly 1000 majority. He
only lost Rankin, McLaurin's home
county, by sixty votes, which in the
first primary, before the professional
defender of the plain people" spoke,
had gone against Vardaman by nearly
three hundred votes McLaurin's last
tilt with Vardaman in the last ses-
sion of the legislature, when he rail-
lied all the elan to save the Sandy
Bayou prison board of control, re-
suited in his ignominious defeat. And
so it will be this year, with his last
song of the dying swan, for Truly.
Senator McLaurin says that he will
notice the Herald no more. He began
the fight by slanderous and wholly
causeless attack on the Herald, and
notice is hereby served on him that
we claim the privilege of the clos

DROWN IN COLLISION At SEA
Steamer Columbia Sunk Off En-
reka, Cal, by Lumber Schooner.
Engulfed in Ten Minutes, Carrying
With Her Many of Her Passen-
gers and Crew.

Eureka, Cal.-Fifty persons, the
majority Of whom were passengers,
went down with the coasting steam
! ship Columbia when the vessel was
rammed by the lumber steamer San
Pedro, in Shelter Cove, OF this port.
There were 189 passengers and sixty
| officers and men aboard the ship. and
1O7 passengers and thirty-seven
| members of the crew were landed
here by the steamship George E. Ell
der, which also towed in the San Pc
dro, almost a total wreck, and with
her afterdeck awash. Only n lum-
Der cargo of the San Pedro kept her
a1oat.
1t was reported hat there were
forty-six survivors in a vesStl headed
for San Francisco. One report is
that these persons were picked up
from lifeboats, but this is looked
upon as improbable, as the captain OF
the San Pedro reports four lifeboats
launched from the Columbia were
overloaded and swamped. Captain
Doran, of the Columbia, went down
with his ship.
Almost all of the Columbia's pas
sengers and many of her crew. were
asleep in their cabins and hunks.
Captain Doran, it is said, shoute- for
the San Pedro to hold her bow in the
cut in the Columbia to prevent al
overpowering thrush of water. But
as quickly IS possible the San Pedro
was backed away, and the water
rushed through a gap ten feet across.
Doran was on the bridge and he was
master of himself until his sip sank
under him. 1t is said that he at
tempted to hold the ere to duty by
threatening to use a revolver, and
one report has it that he shot a mutt
nous sailor. Men on the San Pedro
heard Doran giving orders almost TO
the last moment. His voice carried
distinctly through a megaphone, and
he could be heard saying:
"The women and children must so
first. You towards, give t-e woven
and children a chance"
But his cool bravery was in vain,
for Doran was forced to see the four
lifeboats overturned by the weight of
men caring only for their own chance
of life. 1t is understood that the life
RATS we're overturned in exactly the
same way. One life raft was thrown
overheard from the San Pedro, and
about a dozen passengers managed tn
reach it. The women saved were
picked up by dories from the San Pc
dro.

THE CROPS IN MASSACHUSETTS.
General Promise is Good-New Eng
land Farmers Call For Help.

Boston.-Crops generally through
out Massachusetts have made rapid
development during the recent warm
Weather and heavy rains. Prospects
Tor an abundant if late harvest in
most cases are good. The hay is of
a very heavy and rich grade. The
early yield of potatoes is of fine quail
lty, n the outlook for a large crop
is good. Corn has not yet recovered
from its early setback.
Apples are of very poor quality
and late, and the peach crop is an
absolute failure. The early cabbage
plant, though somewhat backward,
promises we'll. The tobacco r
throughout the western part OF the
State is in a healthy condition, but a
fortnight later than usual.
The help problem is worrying the
farmers all over New England. Al
though good prices are being paid,
the men are scarce, and very few far
mers have their full complement of
help.
Meantime all business records in
the industrial and commercial world
have cheerful character. Interna-
tional trade for the year ending with
the first of July ought to have tonic
influence. Yet however enormous
the international volume may SEEM,
1t is but a trife compared with the
domestic commerce OF the country
the agricultural crops alone double
the value OF International trade in its
entirety.
Prosperity does not vanish. It
does not diminish. It grows-every
day-Tastlys incidentally.

QUEEN soPHIA cHARrorTN.

Sophia Charlotte or Charlotte
Sophia, as some historians designate
her-was the queen consort of George
III, king of Great Britain and Ire
land. She was born at Mecklenburg-
Strelitz, May 16, 1744. While but a
child Charlotte showed great aptf-
tude in learning and vas devoted to
her studies. In later years she be-
came one of the most cultured prin-
cesses In Europe.
According to various biographers
George III. fell in love with her
through reading one of her letters,
which displayed a most noble and
brilliant mind. However that may
be, it is a fact that the match was
one of love.
When Charlotte became Georges
bride she was in her seventeenth
year, and all England paid her most
gracious homage. On arriving in Eng
land the young queen began the study
Of the English language, the king aid
ing her all that he could by reading
to her from the best English authors.
Charlotte Sophia was prudent, well
informed, charitable and of a sweetly
domestic mind" says one historian.
But she had her little failings, for it
was said of her that "she was fonder
ST diamonds than the Queen Of France
and of snuff than the King of Prus-
sia." She was the mother OF nine
sons and six daughters, two of whom
died in early infancy. In speaking
Of her mother1y solicitude n bio
graher has the following to say:
"One day a lady of high rank
said to the queen: My children must
be doing well, for they have plenty
Of servants to attend them The
queen quickly exclaimed: What! do
you leave them entirely to attendants?
1 dare not do so, for it is impossible
that servants, however good, can
have the feelings of a parent
For some years before the queens
demise-whicb occurred in 1S18-the
king lost his mind and became a most
pitiable object to behold. This
caused the queen to spend her last
years of sickness in constant worry
and grief. Her lord and king sur
vived her two years, his mind still
clouded at his death.-Mary Graham.

The crime was committed Noyem-

the victim was a wealthy resident.
The jury retired and it took them
only a few minutes to agree on a YER

himself with composure throughout
the five days of the trial, did not
change his demeanor when the jury
announced its finding.
1t was the same with him when
sentence of death was pronounced.
The judges withdrew just after mid
night to determine upon the SEN
tence, and returned after a brief con-
sultation. The presiding judge pro-
nounced the words of doom, and Hau
led away to prison guarded by
