SOME MISSISSIPPI NEWS HAPPENINGS

The "other five" have platforms set
ting forth their positions upon mat
ters of State craft not specifically
treated by the Democratic platform
except in the limited way that the
cardinal principles of Democracy will
apply. We believe it to be the duty
of every candidate for a political Of
fee to make known to the voters his
position on such things as will be
certain TO come up for consideration
during the time which he proposes to
serve the people, and the Sentinel
will not support any man for gov
ernor who does not make himself
clear and who puts in one-half of his
time ridicu1ing other candidates be-
cause they stand for certain things
and the other half lodging issues
that ought to be discussed with the
people in a free and open manner.

The case of Mrs. O'Pry against
Judge w. H. Hardy was called in
the circuit court Tuesday, and dis
missed at the plaintiffs cost. Judge
Saunders presided, and so ,sanguine
were the attorneys of the district that
Judge Hardy did not owe the debt
that most of them volunteered their
service and would have gladly rem
dered their assistance if any had been
needed. The plaintiff, it is reported,
was represented by two attorneys
from Mendenhall, who will perhaps
remember the novel experience of
their trip to Gulfport long after they
will have forgotten what mission
they came on. The facts of the case
clearly show that the plaintiff had
been badly advised. as she now no
doubt realizes.-The Pass Christian

Rifle ExpIodeS.

The explosion of rife last Mon
day night caused monentary excite
ment among people congregated near
the city hall. The armory of the Co
lumbus Rif1emen is located on the
second floor of the building, and at
company drill Monday night one
of the members accidentally discharg-
ed his rife. The rifles had not been
used for several weeks, and Lieuten-
ant Richards, before marching the
company out on the streets to drill,
ordered the men to examine their
equipment. One of the militia
men cooked his rifle and accidentally
pulled the trigger and the explosion
of the cartridge naturally followed.
Luckily the gun was pointed upwards
when it was discharged, and beyond
tearing hole in the ceiling the bull
let caused no dmage.

A Compliment to Vardaman's
Administration.

January broke the record for col
lections in the Office of the secretary
of State. Yesterday that official paid
into the State treasury the sum of
$3201. This is the largest amount
ever collected by that official for any
one month. The record up to now
was held by the month of March,
1904, when s304S was paid into that
office. This. though, was caused by
extraordinary conditions, when Attor-
ney General MeClurg forced the rail-
roads to pay their fees. and several
of them paid in that month $3.50
each. The collections last month rep
resent the natural increase that has
developed in the business of the Of
fee, most of which is due to the
many charters constantly being ap-
piled for.-Jacksons Clarion-Ledger.

Keep Your Money at Home.

1t was somewhat amusing the last
few days to note the great fear that
struck some OF our home people when
the failure of the Oregon Savings and
Trust Company was announced. A
few of our people got bit, and others
hustled lively for time to see if the
particular Portland bank in which they
had money deposited was still solvent.
All of these things lead us to wonder
why that Lincoln county money was
deposited at Portland. Why was il not
deposited at homer Why should a
man in Lincoln county take his money
TO some other part of the state to help
that section of the state and to hurt
Lincoln countys Lincoln county is in
process of development. It needs
capital to develop its wonderful re.
sources, and yet there are many of our
people who will take dollar as soon as
they'get it and take it to Portland and
put it into ban * that they know moth
ing OF, except that it advertises big,
and then mourn when they get caught.
Keep your Lincoln county money in
Lincoln county. If you are afraid of
our banks, loan It or invest it in some
OF our growing industries, Don't make
dollar here then act like the county
is not good enough to keep i. in. Build
