ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Johns, Of Indiana, arc
among the arrivals of the week at the
Clifton Hotel and will remain for the
winter. Their return is welcomed after
an absence of four winters spent IL
California.
A number of young gentlemen, headed
by DIR. J. A. Evans, gave a most sue
cessful dance Saturday evening at the
Clifton Hotel, complimentary to Miss
Eta Connolly, of New Orleans, who is
visiting her aunt, Miss Markey.
The Echo has been requested to state
that on and after February 1st, the mer-
chants of Bay st. Louis will discontinue
the "lagniappe." This abuse on the
part of the buying public is being dis
continued in all other towns and cities.
Mr.. and Mrs. Raphael Blaize and
children came up from Dunbar, La,

proposed to buy all the tomatoes raised
at 50 cents per bushel, and to advance
the necessary fertilizer and all seed.
This is about 100 per cent more than is
paid for standard tomatoes for packing
in the Baltimore district, and while the
cannery will not expect to make any
money on paying this price, the object
of it's managers is to endeavor to dem
onstrate the fact that tomatoes can be
raised in this section as profitable crop
for canning purposes. Last year sew
eral farmers planted extensively of this
vegetable for the factory, and notwith-
standing the season was most unfavora-
bic, those who made the experiment are
so we'll satisfied with the results that
they are the most enthusiastic advocates
of the trial again. Should the factory
succeed in demonstrating the success of
tomato raising for canning purposes
in this section, it will add great value
to all the lands along the coast and open
up an industry the magnitude OF which
cannot even be estimated.
The factory people nave agreed to
can any and all kinds of other vegeta-
bles and fruit that may be brought them
during the coming season.

SECRET SERVICE MEN
MAKE LOTTERY RAID.
Uncle Sans Detectives Confiseates Property of
Honduras Lottery Company at Mobile = Two
Principals, With Eighteen Employees, Arrested
Manager of Express Company at Mobile
Also Arrested for Conspiracy in Circulating
Lists of Lottery Drawings.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 23.-Secret service
men from Washington, D. c., aided by
customs officials of this city, made a
raid on the printing Office Of the Hon
duras Lottery Company in this city and
confiscated everything in the establish
ment, and caused the arrest of E. L.
Plnac and Lewis Graham, of New Or
leans, and of eighteen employees, in
Guiding pressmen, printers and packers.
The raid was made at late hour last
night, and the officials and men were
detained in the office of United States
Marshal G. B. Deans until this morn
ing. They were allowed to go on bonds
until the District Attorney fixes date
for hearing before the United States
Commissioner.
The raid was planned number of
months ago, but evidence sufficient to
convict the members of the company of
a violation of the interstate commerce
act was not secured until last night.
The boat bringing the list of drawings
arrived in Mobile yesterday, and as
soon as she touched at the wharf the
officers were on the alert. They quietly
saw the work of printing going on and
then followed the packed boxes Of lists
to the Union Depot and secured the
names of parties to whom they we're
shipped, and obtained the information
tnat they were going out of the State of
Alabama. After securing the evidence
they went directly to the printing Office
and made the arrests and placed dep
uty marshal in charge of the establish
ment.
A similar raid was made here eight
cen months ago, when a large amount
of lottery lists were seized on board the
steamer Hiram, coming from Puerto
Cortez, Honduras. No arrests were
made at that time.
Late tonight Martin Holbrook, man
ager in Mobile of the Southern Express
Company, and J. L. Pickens, clerk in
the depot office Of the Company, were
arrested on United States warrants,
charged with conspiring to circulate
the prize lists of the Honduras; ;Lottery.
They were released under $4,000 and
81 900 bonds, respectively. The war
rants were sworn out by Secret Service
Operator Sauter, and were the result of
the acceptance by the Express Com
pany of a package of prize lists ad-
dressed to J. w. Curtis, Cambridge,
Mass.

Sea Coast Ecbo.
WHAT WE ARE OR ARE NOT.

The longer we live, the more we learn
and the more we learn, the less We think
we know. Such is the inconsistency o1
mans ideas. The less one knows the
greater his opinion of his abilities and
wisdom. In the morning of life con-
ceited man prides himself on his great
ness, and wonders to what grand chan
mel he will confine his talents. He looks
upon his school district as the world at
large and upon himself as the great ge-
MUS in whose keeping the worlds ma
ture rests. He imagines that when he
speaks, nations tremble, mountains tot
ter and the sea becomes silent.
He imagines that gaping and Won
dering populace are gazing on him with
open -mouthed wonder and iron-clad as
tonishment, and that he holds the world
in the hollow of his hand with grasp
that is perpetual.
But as days and months and years
pass in rapid succession, the young man
finds out that he is possibly mistaken,
and if he would wander away and get
lost, some one or most all of the people
on the earth would not miss him. By
and by he begins to realize that he is
only one of the many millions of people,
and instead of standing forth as the CEN
ter of attraction, he only fills small
niche Of some obscure corner, and really
I,,t hn
rant man who realizes his ignorance and
who does not seek to pass himself off for
more than he is worth, is pardonable,
but the self-conceited man who tries to
pass himself off at a premium, is to be
pitied. The best way is to hold ones
self-esteem down, and not rate himself
to high. The man who climbs the high
est has the farthest to fall.
1t is more pleasant to be invited to
take a higher seat than to be deprived
of it. 1t is more pleasant to be king of
a cottage than the servant of palace.
1t is better to be a good five cent piece
than bogus quarter; in other words, it
is better to hold ourselves at what we
are honestly worth. The world is full
of people who never learn anything be-
cause they think they know enough to
begin with. Thousands are teaching
when they ought to be taught; thous-
ands believe themselves wise when their
ignorance is lamentable; thousands be-
lieve themselves clothed in gold when
they are only thinly plated and the cop
per shows through in many places. The
wisest are comparatively ignorant, and
thousands of men who have grand ideas |
of their own abilities will some day wake |
up to the realization that they have been
laboring under a large-sized delusion. |
Many young mans life is gilded by |
bright dreams that come in the early |
stage of the game, but later on he finds |
that these dreams are only empty, and |
o, how little is the change when it
comes!

CANNERY AT PASS CLOSES CONTRACT.

DENATURED ALCOHOL.
comes!

The name "aIcohor" is composed of
two Arabic words, sol kohl" meaning
'the devil', which goes to show that
the Arabs knew thing or two.
"Denatured alcohol" as the further
name somewhat vaguely indicates,
means alcohol which has been put
through a process by which it is rem
dered poisonous and hence unfit for use
as basis for intoxicants or for use in
patent medicines,
The removal of the internal tax on
the making of it reduces the price of
such denatured alcohol from $3.50 to %
cents a gallon, and is done with view
to furnishing cheaper light. fuel and
transportation.
The advocates of the measure have
predicted many marvellous things for the
future under the new regime. 1t is con-
tended that its use as substitute for
gasoline will reduce the cost of running
automobiles to very large extent; that
it will supplant kerosene for lighting
purposes; that it will be used for heat
ing our houses; that it will revolutionize
the making of smokeless powder, etc.
This is but a casual list of the many
things which it is expected will be ac-
complished by the general use of dena-
tured alcohol. A reduction of from
$3.50 to 25 cents gallon is quite a
slump, and it is easy to be seen that it
will readily come into very general use
for the purposes to which it is adapted.
The new law went into effect with the
beginning of the new year.

Last week man stepped up to us and
said he would pay US every cent he owed
us if he lived till Saturday night. We
presume the man died. Another man
said he would pay us in day or two as
sure as we were born. Query: Did the
man lie, or were We never born? An
other said he would settle as sure as
shooting. We presume that shooting
is very uncertain. Another man said he
hoped to go to the devil If he did not
pay us within three days. Havn't seen
him since; suppose that he has gone,
but trust he did not hope in vain. Quite
a number said they would see us to-
morrow. They must have been stricken
blind, or tomorrow has not come. One
man told us six months ago that he
would pay as soon as he got some
money. The man would not lie; OF
course, he has not got cent since.

PARDONING CRIMINALS.

There is more than suspicion that ;
strong tendency exists not only in thi
State, but elsewhere, toward a loosenes
and leniency in the matter of pardonine
criminals.
The maudin sympathy expressed by
women and by some men toward crlmi-
nails or those accused OF some heinous
crime is usually considered as the mani
which verges on hysteria, but there is
an illogical and mistaken leniency to-
| ward criminals suffering long terms OF
Imprisonment, expressed by men usually
of well-balanced minds.
A man who commits a cold -blooded
murder and is sentenced to inprison-
ment for life, should not be pardoned.
He may have a good record as pris-
oner, he may even have honestly and
sincerely repented of his crime, and it
may be conceded, for the sake of argu-
ment, that he would no longer be men
ace to the community if allowed to go at
large, bnt the argument against his re-
lease is based upon grounds which are
not affected by these facts.
The purpose of punishment for crime
should never be for motives of revenge;
it should be based upon two grounds,
and two only,-the prevention of subse-
quent criminal acts upon the part of
the criminal himself and the deterrent
effect upon others.
Now it does not require any labored
argument to show that this effect in the
latter instance is seriously weakened
when practice is made of pardoning
criminals, and especially in the case of
those serving life sentence.
A man who commits a cold blooded
murder deliberately puts himself outside
the pale of human sympathy; he should
not be treated with cruelty or unkind-
ness, but he should expiate either by
death or by life imprisonment, release
from which should be hopeless, the re-
suits of his crime.
The strongest argument, in our mind,
the only argument, which can be re-
garded as even partially tenable, in fa-
vor of capital punishment exists in the
fact that the frequent misuse of the par
doning power serves to minimize the
dread of punishment on the part of the
criminal.
Fearing not immediate death even if
discovered and convicted, and relying
upon the probability of pardon, after a
few years he takes chances which he
would be disinclined to take if he knew
that life imprisonment in name meant
life imprisonment in reality.
The enactment of a law to the effect
that men con victed of murder in the
first degree should not be pardoned un-
der any circumstances, would be futile,
since subsequent legislatures would be
able to repeal it, but if public sentiment
was sufficiently aroused and expressed
with unhesitating frmness and clear
ness, weak -kneed executives and care
less Legislative bodies would cease turn
ing loose upon the community men who |
have been convicted of the crime which |
only God can forgive, and Of weakening |
the influence upon the quasi-criminal |
class, which is one of the chief purposes
of punishment.

STATE MONEY FOR SCHOOL.
Apportionment Of the Money on Hand in State
Treasury to Meet February Distribution.

The apportionment OF the money on
hand to meet the February distribution
of the public school fund to the counties
and separate school districts has been
completed by Superintendent of Educa-
ton Whitfield, based on the recent emu
meration Of educational children. This
distribution will be made among seventy
seven counties and one hundred and
TWENTY-FIVE separate districts, an in
crease of one county and nearly twenty
separate districts over tht: former appor-
tionment. The total amount of $685.
33333 "a will be distributed for the educa-
ton of approximately $4,000 children
of educable age, which is a considerable
increase over the former enumeration,
and means a reduction in the amount
per capita of from SI.98 to S1.S5, diff
ference of 13 cents. The counties get
the bulk of the money, or $7O2, ,213.60, as
against S124, 4,1t9.74 for the districts.
OF the counties, Yazoo rates the high
est, being entitled to Sl9,204.50, with
Kinds closely following for S19,067 .56.
Pearl River County seems to be the
lowest, with only a little more than
1890.
AS to the separate districts, Meridian
easily leads the field, with an apportion-
ment of 50 ,872.34, with Jackson the next
highest, calling for So, 5,32l83.

A GRAND JURY'S APOLOGY.

Last week New York grand jury returned
indictments against George w. Perkins, former
vice president of the New York Life Insurance
company, and {. 5. Farchld, a member OF the
fnan committee of the same company charging
forgery in connection with deal in bonds.
There nothing at all surprising in the TACT
that true bills were returned against these two
men. The revelations made during the lnvestiga-
tion made by the Armstrong committee made 1t
clear that there had been much crooked work and
a great deal of downright rascality.
The astounding feature about the presentment
made in the case of Perkins and Farchld was that
the grand jury should have taken the extraordinary
course Of apologizng for doing what was apparent
ly its plain duty.
This apology, for it can be regarded moth
ing else, stated that the grand jury believed the
crimes for which it returned true bills against the
two men were committed for the benefit OF the
policy cyholders as whole and not for the personal
profit of Perkins and Farchd. Plainly the grand
Jury was extremely reluctant TO indict men so in
huental in the financial and political world.
Yet why should it have been SO tender III ITS
treatment If the evidence before it revealed the
commission of a crime? Would it have been equally
solicitous in the case OF some poor wretch who
stole to keep his family from starving? He would
have gained personal profit from his crime, yet
was grand jury known to have apologlzed
for having returned an indictment against such an
offender?
1t is made very clear by the reports sent from
New York that no true bills would have been found
against Perkins and Fairchild were it not for Dis
trct Attorney Jeromes threat to hale the jury be
fore Recorder Golf and have it distinctly instructed
to return indictments.
Exhibitions of partiality and favortism such
as this tend give the color of truth to the conten
tions of the demagogues and the meters of unrest
who insist that laws meant to be enforced
against the poor only. 1t is to District Attor-
ney Jeromes credit that he insisted on the per
formance Of its plain duty by the grand jury and
refused to allow two alleged violators of the law
to escape accountability solely because they are
rich and powerful
