WILL HUNT IN JUNGLES OF
LOUISIANA.
FOUR HOURS IN VICKSBURG
Will Spend Four Hours in Historic
City Visiting Beautiful Military
Park and Will Deliver Address at
Court House.

Observation-Disclosures Roosevelt,

day, Sept. Doth.
He will arrive at Memphis, Tenn,

o'clock p. m. and remaining in that
city four hours. While in Vicksburg
the president will visit the national
military park in that city and will
also deliver an address on the city's
historic court house square. The oc-
casion of President Roosevelt's visit
to Memphis during the meeting OF the
Deep Waterways Convention, Octo-
Der As, is the all absorbing topic III
Memphis. Plans are being perfected
to give the president the most cor
dial and enthusiastic reception ever
accorded any president. The COVER
nors and many prominent men from
nearly all the southern states will be
In attendance.
It was learned from an authorita--
tive source that the presidents hunt
ing camp is to be located at some
point in the Tensas swamps in North
eastern Louisiana and that the hunt
ing expedition will extend over a
period of seventeen days. 1t is
we'll known fact that this portion Of
the state abounds with all kinds OF
game, deer and bear being plentiful
and the success Of the president IN
bagging game will only depend on his
ability to shoot and shoot true. Col
John M. Parker Of New Orleans Is
to be member Of the presidents
hunting party.
The president will be accompanied
on the trip down the river by Assist
ant Secretary Latta, Mr.. I. III. Meth
erland, stenographer; Surgeon Gener-

Peonage Statute Void.

The Department of Justice is great
ly elated over the recent opinion Of
Chief Justice Clark Of North Caro-
lima, who, in concurring in decis
ion in a peonage case, went out Of his
way practically to declare the stat
utes under which the action was pros
ecuted unconstitutional. These stat
utes are said to be almost identical
with those of half dozen Southern
states, and it is by attacking their
constitutionality that the Federal gov
eminent has been striving for months
to break up peonage in Florida, Geor-
gia, Alabama and Arkansas.

Will Never Pay Out.

OF the 100000 the government
loaned the Jamestown Exposition 70
rescue it from complete failure, but
$4,000 has been paid back. 1t does
not seem likely that even 100000
will be returned. The exposition has
only two months to run and the IT.
tendance is only $4,000 daily with
heavy expenses to be paid. 1t is be-
lieved here that the Jamestown fasco
means that it viii be many years be-
fore congress will again make an APP
preparation for a worlds fair, and
the Seattle and New Orleans exposi
tions may have to depend entirely OIL
their own resources.

Judge Lands has demanded that
Attorney General Bonaparte modify
the tone and contents Of letter sent
by him to District Attorney Sims at

Crank at Osyter Bay.

The monotony Of official life at
Oyster Bay was relieved by the arriv
al of another unexpected caller who
believed he had urgent business with
the President. The stranger, who de-
scribed himself as Orland Coland, a
farmer Of Oxford, Ala, had reached
the front door Of the President
home when he was headed off by a
secret service agent. To the officer
Coland explained that he wished to
enlist the aid of Mr.. Roosevelt in the
collection of an obligation Of $10,-
100000 from John D. Rockefeller.
According to Coland he received a
contract from Mr.. Rockefeller some
twenty years ago whereby he was to
be paid $10,000,000 for solving a muir
der mystery in st. Paul. He says he
kept his end of the contract so we'll
that woman was convicted of the
crime. Then he wrote to Mr.. Rock
efeller for $10,000,0OO but did not get
any answer. To none of the 500 9TH
er duns that he has sent the magnate
did he get reply. Two weeks ago
it occurred to Coland that che presi-
dent was the man to make Mr.. Rock
efeller pay up. After he had told
his story to Detective Adams the lat
ter said: "Wait minute and I'll
ge the President to write you letter
to Rockefeller that will bring him
to TERMS" and Adams went inside
and scrubbed decoy note himself.
Coland was profoundly grateful. The
detective put him aboard train for
New York, and then telegraphed to
the New York police to catch him at
the station.

Moroccan Situation.

Paris.-Reports that Germany has
offered France free hand in Moroc-
co in return for the recognition of
the German influence, are pronounc-
ed officially to be without foundation
According to the official declaration;
"the Algeciras convention remains
the basis of French policy. If France
is to continue to represent the sover--
eighty Of the sultan and the integri-
ty Of his empire any other policy
would be contrary to French inter-
est and Frances international agree
ments.

A wide-awake Mississippian pe

A wide-awake Mississippian pens
the following: "The citizens Of any
prosperous town are always public
spirited and united. Stand together,
work for the interests of the whole
town. Always be ready to willingly
do your part. Don't grumble and
spend your time prophesying fail
ures, but help to make every enter
prise a success, be it great or small.
Be energetic and enterprising and
your example will be initiated. 5"
Good. And the same will apply to a
community as we'll as a town. What
is good for one is equally good for
the other. There is. food for thought
in this.
President Roosevelt will pitch his
hunting camp in the northeastern
corner Of this state about Oct. 5, to re
main seventeen days.

For too many years has Mississippi
borne the reputation Of having cit
izenship "quick on the trigger and
ready to draw upon the slightest pro-
vocation. The big insurance compa-
MES considered the increase Of rates
for the state on account Of the losses
from "ganshot wounds" 1t has Civ
en- us an unenviable reputation
abroad, and one that is not fully de-
served. But it is high time that the
law-abiding people of the state paid
more attention to enforcement Of the
law with reference to crimes Of Sc
rious nature. We have generally as
good people as can be found any
where in the world, more law abiding
than those in other states as far as
the minor crimes and misdemeanors
are concerned, but the crime Of muir
der and manslaughter is too frequent
entirely. It is time for conservative
and thinking men to stop and see
WucIC VIC dlC dt. 1uCSC IulHSS MuSI
be stopped and the only way in
which can be done, is to strictly en-
force the laws. The inflicting Of the
penalty for murder, be the culprit
black or white, would soon greatly
lessen the commission Of the crime.
1t is the duty of good citizens to go
into the jury boxes and see that ex-
act justice is dealt to the offenders.
Do not let able lawyers nth pathet-
ic pleadings turn them away from
the path of duty, but do what you are
sworn to do. In ninety cases out
Of one hundred, the differences that
bring about these crimes could be hon
orably settled by arbitration and
they should be handled in this way
by all means. It is gratifying to
note that the state press is taking
up this subject and discussing it, the
Magnolia News publishing a sensi-
BILE and able article on it few days
since. Keep up the agitation until
this blot shall be wiped from the
fair escutcheon Of Mississippi. Tie
press is the power that can do it and
the duty is clearly defined.

REVELATIONS
ARE STARTLING
IN THE STANDARD OIL HEAR
ING.
ROCKEFElLER'S HOLDINGS
Are Five Times as Large as that OF
any other individual Income Am
cunts to Nineteen Dollars per
Minute.

New 4OrK,-A IeCOIu VI IAO Pa"
sent stockholders Of the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey, part OF
which was placed in evidence IN the
federal suit against the oil combine
discloses that John D. Rockefeller
owns 247,612 shares of the stock and
that his holdings are almost five times
larger than the share holdings OF any
other individual interest. The re-
cord shows through that since the dis
solution of the liquidating trust Mr..
Rockefeller has disposed of nearly
10000 shares of his holdings. Based
on the present market value OF $44O
for Standard Oil stock, Mr.. Rookie
feller's interest in the company IS
valued at bout one hundred million
dollars.
Mr.. Kellogg succeeded in getting up
on the record evidence which tend
ed to show that the Standard Oil
Company had made an agreement to
furnish certain independent compa-
MES in and about Pittsburg with
crude oil on condition that the output
of oil refined for exporting purposes
should be turned over to the export
department of the Standard Compa-
Ey.
Wesley H. Tilford, treasurer Of the
Standard Oil Company was recalled
to the stand when the hearing of the
Standard was resumed. Mr.. Tilford
stated in reply to questions that the
dividends of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey in 1899 were $14.
3O4, LOG, or $32,0O8,541, but thought
the former figures were correct.
Asked if it were not true that the
reason the dividends were so small
! was because the dividends in some of
the subsidiary companies were paid
to individuals instead of the Stand
ard Oil Company Of New Jersey, he
said he thought it was so.
Mr.. Tilford said that to the pres
! ent date 972,492 shares of the Stand
ard Oil Company Of New Jersey has
been exchanged for trust certificates.
He said there still remains outstand-
ing stock of the subsidiary companies
which has not been exchanged for
the remaining eight shares Of the
Standard Oil Company.

/, can be gained by the following re-
capitulation:

The adoption Of labor-saving ma
chinery, the intensive system Of farm
ing, raising Of stock at home and 9th
er reforms now taking place in Mis-
sissippi will do more to solve the la
Dor problem than any other one
thing. Five bales Of cotton is being
raised today in some sections upon
one-half the land that was requir-
ed ten years ago. There is consid
cradle saving Of labor in this. Fields
that ten years ago were making fiji
teen bushels of corn to the acre are
making thirty today. At least one
third Of the labor is saved in this in
stance. Many such comparisons could
be cited but these Of the two most
important crops are sufficient. But
some one will say that such instances
are too few and far between. This is
a fact that cannot be denied but
their frequency is fast being increas-
ed. Larger numbers Of farmers are
adopting the improved methods from
year to year and the next few years
will show a greater increase still. The
two hundred men who attended the
roundup" of institutes at the A.
& M. College the first of this month
carry the infection with them that
will eventually spread to all in a more
or less degree. Mississippi is doing
well and the room reserved for pessi-
mists is being gradually reduced un-
til they will finally be crowded out.
Speed the day.

A spirit Of selfishness is to be de-
scried at all times and more espec--
tally in matters pertaining to the flu
ture generations. An exchange gives
the following which puts the case
strongly as it deserves: can aged
man was planting trees and was ac-
costed by stranger who said: why
do you plant trees when you cannot
possibly live long enough to eat the
fruit Of them?' He raised himself
and leaning on his shovel, said: Some
one planted trees before [ was born
and | have eaten the fruit, I now
plant for others that the memorial
of gratitude may exist when I am
dead and gone.' How beautiful this
sentiment, and pity It's that is not
more prevalent.
