LECTURE No. I
Subject: ICE CREAM

The time has come when ice cream is not only
luxury but staple food product People feel from
time to time that they must have it; we therefore
must be carefult insist upon only such ice cream as
made from the ceanest and purest most easily digest
ed ingredients. The taking into the human system OF
excessive amounts substitutes and inferior substances
such geatine, suet and many other things, which,
if carefully compounded go to make up beautiful and
CONSTANT looking ice cream, may in time cause
weakness of the digestive organs The pure food law
requires IA per cent of butter fat in all ice cream that
is made to SELL Our ice cream contains from 40 to 40
per cent pure cream We do not claim to put out the
all-cream product, but safely recommend it to
anyone as a wholesome and nourishing dish. Suchc ice
cream is endorsed by physicians as being healthy for
anyone if eaten freely.

Words of Truth.

The Magnolia News has been
putting in some hard licks against
the crime of murder in Mississip-
pi, and in its current issue it has
the following which could not be
improved on:
"Let it be written upon the
hearts of Mississippians, taught
in their schools, and Numbered
from their pulpits and press, that
murder is infamous and the per-
petrator must atone for his crime
with his life. Any other view of
the subject is unjust, unholy and
unwise. The most enlightened
and religious nations have found
capital punishment necessary. In
Mississippi, where life sentence
for many murders is a farce, hang
ing as a sovereign remedy for the
crime is most imperative. The
lives of the victims of murderers
in this State for the next twelve
months are worth more than the
lives of all the murderers of the
past fifty years. Deeds of vio-
lence-hIood outlines has made
Mississippi a ty-word and re-
proach. The individual citizen
should make up his mind to wash
his hands of the stain. !"
The News is a firm believer in
capital punishment, because it is
the only way to protect society.
If there were more bangings there
would be fewer murders. 1t is
true that there is a growing senti-
ment against hanging, but this is
the cnIy thing that will retard
some people. A penitentiary SEN
tence does not mean much After
serving for a few years the mur-
derer generally gets pardnned. In
the meantime a propaganda should
be kept up against the crime of
murder. Jackson Evening News.

F. NJ. LEE.
The Man from Pike Who is Running
for Railroad Commissioner,

The subject of this sketch was
born on the 29th day of August,
1856, on his fathers farm situated
just west of Osyka, Mississippi.
He was the only son of 4. z, Lee
and Snphrnnla Courtney. and the
years IF his infancy were spent on
the farm where he was born. In
1860 his father moved to farm
three miles east of Summit, Miss. !,
where young Frank was thor
oughly initiated in stern realities
of agricultural life. In 1865 his
father moved the family to St.
Helena Parish and there he grew
to manhood, earni- e his iveli-
hood BY the profuse sweat of his
face in blacksmith shop. On
Christmas eve Of 1879 he was hap
PLY married to the lady who now
bears his name, then Miss Bessie
Quillian, of Osyka, Miss. The
fruit of this union has been a boy
and girl, both now grown. Mr..
Lee went to McComb City in
1890 when that large and prosper
GUS town was only a struggling
railway village. He entered the
service of the Illinois Central
Railroad Co., and remained in its
service until December, 1892,
when he was elected marshal Of
McComb City, at that time most
difficult and dangerous position.
Mr.. Lees success, however, in
curbing and controlling the law
less element, was so pronounced
that be was reelected again and
again, serving continuously until
the summer of 1903 when he was
nominated at the primaries for
sheriff Of Pike county, and enter
Led upon the discharge of his du-
ties in January following. For
nearly four years be has been
efficiently conducting the business
|of this office which is located
within 20 miles Of the place where
be was born. He is a member of
the Baptist church of McComb
and in fraternal orders is affiliated
with the Masons, Odd Fellows,
knights Of Pythias and Woodmen
of the World. He is now a can
Ididate for railroad commissioners
for the southern district Of Mis-
slssippi.

white children the burdens and
responsibilities Of our State will
soon be devolved- Preparation
for that task is Of vital concern.
Existing methods of distributing
school funds give some counties
more than they can we'll use, and
to others hardly a meager salary
for the shortest term. A method,
fairly equitable for its results to
all white children, can and should
be provided. That our children

taxes should be collected as are
absolutely required for honest,

service; and the people should
receive full value for the expendi-
ture of every dollar. Under our
defective assessment laws wholly
different rates of assessment pre-
vail in different counties, render
ing the State levy twice as bur-
densome in some counties as in
Others. A system can, and ought
to be instituted, which will grad

than those imposed for county and
municipal purposes, collecting, as
In some other States, the required
State revenue from other sources.
A State board of equalization of

Merit, not Money, Should Determine.
Contests for office should turn
on merit, and not On money. The
uses to which money can be legal
ly put in >efecting a nomination

fined and the amount limited.
Laws of this kind have been re-
Gently enacted in about a dozen
States. Their effect has been ex-
ceedingIy beneficial, the nomina-
tion and election of Gov. Folk, of
Missouri, being a striking IN
stance. To send a letter to each
white voter on our registration
books costs $4,000, the postage
alone being $4,000. A State can
vass on that plane would cost the
salary of a Governor for four
years, and debar from office, if a
requirement for success, all who
did not have the command of
great wealth, making the selection
OF Governor a question of mon
eV. To avoid such dangers legis-
lation of the character mentioned
should be enacted.
Protection Against Unfair Freight Rates.
Railroads and other common

Senatorial Contest Let Alone.

to take the slightest part in the
senatorial contest. Among my
supporters are many of the friends
of each aspirant, whose continued
good opinion ] shall do nothing to

Campaign of 1908.
When / entered the canvass of
1903 | was confronted by two
worthy and distinguished compet-
itors, one making his second and
the other his third race; and each
had great number of committals.
From start to finish myself and
friends had to combat the impress
sion that the contest was between
the two, but the vote for me was
nearly as large as theirs. For
those who stood valiantly by me
then regardless of whom they
will now support-my gratitude
will be undiminlshed and undying.
Other environments will carry
some of these to my present COM

treble such losses. In many coun-
ties, | am glad to know, many
men, most active for Governor
Vardaman or Judge Critz before,
will be equally active for me.
Offers of support have come to
me from every part of Mississip-
Ipi. My acquaintance and person
al communication extends through
every county. The talk of the
race being between two other can
didates chiefly comes from those
who seek to make it so by saying
so. Earnest, active and contin-
ued effort by those who believe
in what my candidacy represents
will make. IN the second primary,
our success certain.

Elective judiciary Again.

Our government should be
brought nearer the people, with
whom it should be kept in living
touch, by making all members of
each department directly respon-
sible to those whom they serve.
With US the whites exercise all
political power; tax delinquents,
illiterates, criminals and negroes
being excluded, giving control of
our State to the highest class OF
electorate. Suffrage, when ap-
piled to. judges, neither requires
more, nor less, sense or virtue,
than when applied 20 other Off
cials. The centralizing tendency
of taking the choice of officers
away from those whose interests
are most vitalIy affected is un-
Democratic, fostering rings and
factions which seek, for the pur-
poses of graft, to dominate the
selection of officers controlling
important patronage. Judges and
levee commissioners should be
made elective, and the patronage
of the chief executive reduced to
the smallest practicable limit.

prosecute, and at the close to make

Model Ranch Purchase.

Canon City-Messrs. Turnbull ant

James G. Duncan, of the Morey Mer
camille Company of Denver, and F. w
STANDARD of Denver, have purchased
sixty acres of alfalfa land on Grand
View avenue, east of here, where they
will establish model fruit and vege-
table ranch. The entire tract will be
planted to apple and cherry trees, and
the space between the rows will be
devoted to vegetables.
James Turnbull of the same com
pany, has negotiated for large tract
of land embracing nearly all Of the
ranches in Garden park, on Four Mile

carry with them valuable water rights,

be devoted to sugar beets, the erection

No Pay for State Boards.

Bills have been prepared and will be
introduced into the Legislature at once
placing all state boards on the same
level, that is to say, making them hon.
orary boards without pay, as recon-
mended in Governor Buchtel's mes.
sage; and providing that members OF
these boards shall be allowed their act
ual travelling expenses and no more.
Their advocates say that these meas.
ures will become law without ques.
ton. The saving, according to their
views, will not be SO very great; that
is not the aim, but the material to
draw from will be better. Those who
will accept positions will do so as an
act of citizenship free from any selfish
motive and their conduct will be SO
considered by the public. Heretofore
there has been a suspicion that mem.
bership on some of the boards was re.
served for professional politicians anx-
ious to make an easy living, and for
that reason the best citizens did not
care to accept positions on these
boards. The aim in the proposed legis-
lation is to get the very best men and
women to serve on the state boards in
the knowledge that they receive moth.
ing directly or indirectly for their ser.
vices.
The following boards now serve
without pay: Board of agriculture,
board of charities and corrections,
board Of health, board Of medical ex-
aminers, board Of pharmacy, board of
pardons, board of dental examiners,
School for the Deaf and Blind, Home
for Dependent Children, Industrial
School for Girls, Normal school trus-
tees, School of Mines trustees, also
state geologist. The secretaries in
most instances receive salaries.
Boards that have salaries or per
diems include the lunacy board. Indus
trial School for Boys, penitentiary
commissioner.
