HON. w. R. DENTON
Being Suggested for Commits
siOner Of Agriculture.


Newton May 81, 1907. Edito,
Clarion Ledger: - see that Hon. W.
+. Denton, of Lauderdale county, ii
being suggested for Commissioners o1
Agriculture, and wish to add my en-.
dorsement to the suggestion.
Bill Denton has served his county
in the Legislature for many years, and
served it we'll. He makes NO pre-
tense to style or greatness, but has as
much "horse sense" as any man in
the state. He is q practical farmer
and stock raiser. and knows the
difference between beans and barley,
cross and registered stock, and can
tell yon how to plant and cultivate
agricultural products, how to prepare
and preserve land, raise both billy
goats and jackasses, frpits and flowers.
In fact, he is qualified for the position
as defined in the law, and his farmer
friends, who feel that a practical
farmer should be at the head Of the
agricultural department., are urging
him to become candidate, and IL he
does they propose to elect him, and
have at least one representative in
the state government. HAY SEED.

SENATOR McLAURlN
Opposes the Payment Of Mississ-
ippi's Repudiated Bonds.

ippi's Repudiated Bonds.
! In q speech before the press as
ISOLATION at jackson last week Bishop
Galloway advocated the payment Of
Mississippi's repudiated bonds.
Senator A. J. McLaurin. In an in
terview In the Clarion-Ledger. dis
cusses the bond question, As follows:
In as high esteem as ! hold Bishop
Galloway, lido not interpret the word
'repudiate' as he does do not see
anything necessarily diegraoeful or
disgusting in It. Webster defines IT.:
To cast off, to disavow, to have MOTH
ing to do with, to renounce, to reject. ;
An act Of repudiation depends prin-
cipally for it's character upon the
things repudiated. Moses repudiated
the servitude of the Israelites- TO the
Egyptians. The Americans repudia-
ted Benedict Arnold and Mississippi
repudiated Adelbert Ames, A. K.
Davis and Cardoza. There is no
shame in repudiating that which is
untrue and illegal.
The setting of the seal Of the state
to the bonds did not give them valid
ity, If it was not lawfully done. In
q government of absolute monarchy,
whatever the monarch does is the act
OF the kingdom; but in constitutions
al government-the only kind Of
government under which there can be
|liberty-the constitution must be the
basis of all law. An act which i'm
pinges the constitution is not an act
Of the state, nor Of the people of the
state; and neither the state nor the
people should justly, lawfully or
morally be held responsible for 1t 1t
is a. principle, sound in morals. as
we'll as in law, that an agent cannot
bind his principal further than the
authority granted to him by the
principal.
The executive and the legislature
are the agents of the people, and the
constitution is the chart Of their
authority. So that anyone dealing
with the legislature or with the ex-
ecutive has it easily WITHIN his power
to examine the constitution and see
the extent Of the authority of the Of
ficial with whom he deals; and If the
official undertakes to exceed his an
thority he is uEfaithfnl to his princi-
pal-the people-and in such unfaith-
fulness he who so deals with the Of
fetal participates
While have no criticism to make
Of the judges who made the decision
in the case Of johnson vs. the State
as men, yet they were only men. and
I have always thought, and now
think, that that was political deois-
ion. think the brief Of Attorney
General Glenn was an unanswerable
argument against the validity Of the
bonds.
1.-The bonds were issued by coterie
Of rich men to Nicholas Biddle, with
whom it took the stern decision of
old Hickory to deal. It has been
nearly seventy years since they were
issned. The state government that
existed at that time was overthrown
by the superior strength Of the Federal
government and the people of the
state at the same time robbed Of q
vast majority Of their possessions, and
another state government established
| In its stead.
I'VE are beginning to regain our
prosperity, and it would not be right
to compel this generation to pay bonds
that we are neither morally nor legally
responsible for, the payment Of which
would materially cripple our common
schools

TROLLEY HOUSE SITE.

1t has been learned that
some decision with reference to
the trolley power house site
should be made before mex,
uesday for it develops that
lhe Bayou Teche Railway and
Light Co, has an option on the
site at the Nelson canal that ex-

but IT is known that he is anx-

the last meeting of the City

1t is stated also that the
Committee appointed 10y the
City Council had a site in view,
but had not been able to get an

THC TOWN COW.

Occasionally a violent outbreak
occurs against the town COW and
there is always more or less
of Justice behind the outbreak
Usually il amounts to nothing and
the town cow still wandeFs uure-
huked across lawns and through
gardens. At bumpkin, Texas,
lately u fight on the town cow re-
suited in victory for the animal.
AT mass meeting Hon Richard
O'Neill paid y tribute to the COW.
which, according to the Nacog-
doches Sentinel, carried the day.
Mr.. O'Neill said:
Ladies' and gentlemen 81 talk
to you for the poor town cow OF
all the great, she is the greatest.

on our feet, her hair keeps plaster
on our walls, her hoofs make glue

blood is used to make our cheese
and our sugar white, aud her bones
to fertiIize the soil. She has gone
from Plymouth Rock to the setting

Montgomery, Ala, July s.
State President Seymour, of the
Alabama section of the Southern
Cotton Growers, believes that
cotton will be worth IS cents a
pound before any great length
of time; also he is of the opinion
that the Alabama crop cannot
possibly run over one million
bales, when the normal output
is a quarter of million more.
Mr.. Seymour does not believe
that there will be All average
crop, though the conditions have
changed materially fer the better
in the last few days.
Mr.. Seymour has seen much
of the Alabama crop for the past
two weeks and not little of
that of Mississippi and he thinks
that it is impossible for the yield
under the best of atmospheric
conditions to get into the aver
age class. The stands are bad
in almost every part of the sec
ton and in many places the
plant is small and in large part
grassy. The crop is so late that
early frost would give it hard
dig and all in the outlook TO-
shorter output than has been
had in long time.

NEW IBERIA o; LAFAYETTE !,

IL is too bad that just as New
Iberia has a ball team that can
furnish the best of sport, the
ball grounds are TO be done
away with, and vet this is the
tact. Unless some unlocked

days game was the last that
ever will be played on these
grounds and if there is to be a
game hereafter it will have to be
on new fields.

EUVIFATHERS OPPOSED
STREET LIGHTING.

Less than a hundred years age
street lighting was opposed by the
very best men of the day on theo
logical grounds as being presump
tlous tbwarting Of the intentions
of Providence, which had oppoiut-
ed darkness for The hours of night.
Ii was further opposed on The
ground that taxation for such a
purpose would be unjust 1t was
opposed on medical grounds, as
gas and oil were declared unwhole-
some, and they argued that it was
n bad thing to encourage people to
stay out doors nights and catch
cold. On moral philosophic grounds
1t was said that the peoples moral
standard would be lowered by street
lighting as the drunkard would
feel there was no hurry to go
home, and that sweethearting
would be encouraged, whereas black
night sent people home early, thus
preserving them from q multitude
of sins. On police grounds the
objection was that the lighting
would make thieves alert. On
patriotic grounds it was conteuded
that national illumiuations would
lose their stimulating effect if
there was street illumination
every uigbt. Seventy. I've years
ago the electric lights were intro
duced aud the systematic lighting
of streets began. Since the Gen.
eral Electric Company alone has
placed It's, 100000 incandescent
lamps aud nearly million are
