DEPUTIES OF sHERIFFs AND
CLERKS.

In commenting on the rule which has
prevailed in the parish Of Claiborne, the
announcement by candidates for sheriff
and clerk who their deputies will be,
the Mansfield Enterprise says: in
Claiborne parish the candidates for
sheriff and clerk Of the courts announce
who their deputies will be, in case of
their election The idea being that as
nearly all business is transacted by their
deputies. the people want to know who
they will be. There is much force III

SEPARATING THE OFFICE.

Mansfield Enterprise. The question
of separating the sheriff and the tax coll
lector's Office, and the clerk of the court
and the recorders Office, is now being
generally agitated throughout the State
The idea is a good one, and the people
should see that it is carried into effect
There is no good reason why one man
should be both sheriff and tax collector,
nor should one man be both recorder
and clerk of the court Divide UP the
offices and they will still command the
services of the very men that hold them
now, and besides the emolulnents will
be reduced to such an extent that they
can't afford to buy votes, and every
man will stand upon his own merits be-
the people.

PETER LAYS EXPERIENCE

Peter Lay is amenting a loss of ten
thousands dollars, the accumulation of
years of industry and economy. Peter
Lay was engaged in dairying. He was
induced by one of his acquaintance to
go to Memphis and view the situation
with the intention of engaging in bust
ness. HIS friend, so-called, Marine, per-
suaded him to bury in a box their
money. Marine claimed to have FIVE
thousand dollars, which was put with
Lays ten thousand. To make long
story short, the money and Marine have
disappeared and Lay has the experience.
A serious moral may be drawn from
this transaction Had Lay deposited his
money in bank and had operated on
business principles, it is more than prob
able that he would not have become the
itictim of fakir.

ANNIVERSARY OF JEFFERSON
DAVIS.

Throughout the South tomorrow will
be observed with appropriate cere-
monies the anniversary Of Jefferson Da-
Wis. born in Kentucky June 3, 1903.
In the records of modern history
there is no man, ever conspicuous III
authority, who has been more thorough
iy and systematically msrepresented and
naligned than the great leader of the
Confederacy. For time all the ma
Lightly of hate was poured on his de-
voted head. However, while he was
tleness, and the meanness, and the bit
terness of his enemies of the North, bis
spirit was never broken, and he re-
manned steadfast to principle and duty.
His very life was conferred in the sue
cess of the cause he cherished.
Since the death of Mr. Davis, the as
pensions against him have been mollI-
fed, and there is today disposition to
reconcile the past and render him the
justice he deserves.
There is no individual connected with
the history OF the United States, except
George Washington, the Father of His
Country, who has occupied position
more conspicuous than Mr.. Davis. From
the date he entered Congress in IS45
to the day when he responded to the
voice of Mississippi calling him to duty
in 1861, he was man of action i'll the
field of war, in the pursuits of peace as
a planter, and as statesman in the
service of bis country.
obliterated, and an effort in that direc-
ton, when the passion of hate ran high,
by striking his name from the honor roll
in Washington. was made the most con-
spicuous by its absence.
From the year IS45 there is no part
of the history of the United States |
which is not connected with Jefferson
Davis
1t was his resistance TO the cohorts of |
Santa Anna, at Monterey and at Buena
Vista, which led to the final triumph of |
the Americans Buena Vista was the
decisive victory.
During the Civil War Mr.. Davis held I
full sway over the States of the Con
federacy, as did Lincoln over the States
of the Union. He was the commander /
in-chief, as was Lincoln, but he yielded
all military command to the peerless
Lee.
Ii is with some satisfaction that the
better spirit from the North towards
Mr.. Davis is noted. In the South he is
revered with stronger sentiment as the
years call from earth the gallant men
who struggled with him for principle.
Whatever have been his shortcomings
and his mistakes, and no man is infal-
lible, have been buried in his grave. The
only remembrance of Mr.. Davis is as he
was, man whose life was consecrated
TO duty a man whose example as sol ;
der, statesman and a citizen, may be
emulated with profit TO mind and SOUL
The manifestation of the people of the
South, and of many from the North, in
of Mr.. Davis is in keep
ing with the sentiment ennobling, and is L
a tribute TO man whose memory will Il
ever be enshrined in the heartc of his

FELL INTO MILLloNs.
The Slip by Which a Rich Gold Min.
Was Discovered.


One of the most productive mine
! In California was discovered through
an accidental fall Of the discoyercr.
He was.one of a hunting party that
had gone out from San Francisco
during the Christmas holidays.
While passing along the side of a
steep hill on i narrow trail his horse
suddenly slipped and with his rider
went down into the gulch.
Happening to be the last in the
line and some distance behind the
others, he was not missed for some
moments, but when his absence was
noticed the party turned back to
look for him, fearing some unto
ward accident. He was nowhere to
be seen, but the place where his
horse had slipped and fallen over
the bank, together with the traces
of the fall, was plainly visible Fol
lowing the tracks made by the fall
ing horse and man, and when near
the bottom, the men suddenly came
upon an interesting spectacle. Just
behind a clump of bushes which the
man and his steed had crashed
through on their way down stood
the horse, apparently uninjured,
while near by, on a slab of rock
projecting from the snow, the man
was capering like an Indian at
ghost dance.
The first impression of the rescu-
ing party was that the man had gone
suddenly crazy, but as he caught
sight of them he suddenly ceased
his gyrations and shouted for them
to approach. They came, when he
showed them several humps of al
most pure gold he had hastily
knocked from the edge with a stone
for a hammer and announced hig
discovery of a gold mine. The slid
ing horse had brought up against
the ledge, and the FESTIVE ANNA.
kicking vigorously in the efforts to
rise, had struck off the moss from
the stone and disclosed the fact that
it was a gold bearing ledge of un-
usual richness. The find was an
propriately named "The Christmas
Gift, " and a valuable gift it proved
to be.

Animals Tried In Court.

Down to comparatively late pc
Rod in continental Europe the low
er animals were considered amena-
bic to the laws. Domestic animals
were tried in the common criminal
courts. Wild animals fell under &c
clesiastical jurisdiction. French an
tiquaries have discovered the rec
ords of ninety-two processes against
animals, conducted with the strict
est formalities of justice, from 1920
to 1740, when the last trial and ex-
ecution, that of COW, took place.
Thus there was a lawsuit that lasted
from 1445 to 1887 between the in
habitants of st. Julian and a kind
of beetle, and at Lavigny in 1857 &
SOW and her six young ones were
tried on a charge of having murder
ed and partly eaten a child. The
sow was found guilty and condemn
ed to death, but the little pigs were
acquitted on account of their youth,
the bad example of their mother
and the absence of direct proof
against them.
