eth century;

"The question to which these figures
will bring to many thoughtful men is
How much of this vast increase OF
wealth have the true heirs of the land,
the Southern people, gathered to them
selves, and how much have they allowed
strangers to the soil to APPROPRIATED
Have our people made the most OF our
sections resources, or has our country
been exploited by Northern capital and
Northern aggressiveness? We have no
fault to find with Northerners who put
H.orthern money and Northern brains
and energy into Mississippi fields OF in'
dustry. They are to be welcomed here,
b,e would it not be better if our own
people were more numerously represent
ed among the captains of industry? Have
we not allowed others to supply what
what we had in plcnty-penetration to
see our great opportunities, the progress
i've energy to overcome the inertia of an
old and fixed economic regime, and the
faith to take the chances? And of the
tremendous reward, could not our own
people have reaped larger and juster
share of the harvest? In an age of high
development we of this section of Missls'
sippi live in a land for the most part yet
undispoiled Of its virgin opportunities
It's undeveloped resources are still in M
tive hands, ard it remains to be seen
whether we ourselves shall develop them
or continue TO raise cotton and look on
while others coin our potential wealth
into current specie of the land"
As has been said by this writer, the
larger part of our available assets in
the shape of undeveloped resources are
still in the hands of our own people, and
it remains for them to do the work OF
developing them and reaping the lions
share of the profits to accrue which be-
longs to them. Mississippians, consider
carefully the thoughts brought out in
this article and begin now this work OF
development that means so much to the
future welfare of osr great State and
its loyal people, if done by them and
the profits kept where they rightfully be-
long
A gentleman by the name of Shaw,
living near Jonesboro, in Tippah county,
has achieved success as basket maker,
the people in his large circle of acqualnt'

all the baskets he can make. Mr.. SHAW
makes a good basket and the people are
willing to pay good price for good
article. This is another example OF what
can be accomplished by purpose and de-
termination.

Smiths obituary set, me to musing
again. Smith was a successful business
man and died worth 100000. Almost
every week he had confdentially told me
chat next year he intended to retire
from busines and enjoy life. Next year
came and he repeatedly told me the same
thing. 1t was always next year. BY
andby he would enjoy life. Yes, by
and.by. But Smith died with apopleSt
and by.and-by never came to him on this
earth, as It seldom does to any other busi'

Tales Are Hardly Credible.

been the testimony OIL Orchard.
According to his own testimony, he
is a fiend incanate. The tales that he
continued to tell from the witness
stand upon cross-eXamination and in
which he invariably figured as one OF
the principals are hardly credible, and
unless the prosecution brings forth
strong evidence to support the story
of his crimes, which, he said, were
nearly all instigated by the Western
Federation of Miners, it is hard to
conceive how jury of fairminded
men could convict the accused
With a sang froid which possibly
has never cen seeh before in any
criminal under similar circumstances,
Orchard, by his own confession, stands
as the slayer of 1S men, has admitted
that he abandoned wife and child, and
in his cross-eXamination has added ar
son to his already !pug list of crimes
In fact, according to his own testi.
mony, which was brought out in a
grilling ross-examination, this man
has confessed to almost every crime
beginning with lying and petit lar
ceny.
He admitted that frequently he told
Of exploits which existed only in his
own Imagination but were relSed
with a view of gaining the admiration
of his friends for the temerity he dis
played in the commission of crime.
Orchard Is a Wary Witness.
For several days IN succession Law
yer Richardson, for the Defense pur-
sued the cross-eXamination S Or
chard concerning his confession of the
series of murders anbplotkngs. The
witness. with remarkable stability, ad-
hered in the main to his story and
shrewdly refused to commit himself as
to precise dates.
1t was in regard to his having been
secretly in the employ of the mine
owners that the testimony brought the
most damaging admissions, This the
witness tried to explain by the claim
that he was double-crossing the enc
mics of the miners federation.
Haywood, in a telegram to the an
nual convention OF the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners at Denver, said that
Orchard was "the greatest liar of the
twentieth century, and that he in.
tended to take the stand to refute him,
adding that he would be free man
inside of six weeks.

His Explanation Was that He Was

Boise, ldaAO-The complete confes-
sion of Harry Orchard in the trial Of
Haywood involved a record Of crime so
monstrous that when it had been fully
disclosed as the chief reliance Of
the prosecution for conyicting Hay
wood, the defense found latitude on
cross-examination which would have
been impossible had the witness been
confined to the murder of Steunenberg
alone, which he testified he had com

Of Miners, including Haywood.
Under cross-examination, Orchard
admitted stealing sheep he had no use
for and also that he had boasted OF
committing a highway robbery in San
