No Relief.

Sympathizing deeply with the sor-
rows OF those Massachusetts manufac-
turers who long for free trade In crude
materials while retaining protection Or
their finished products, John Sharp
Williams, leader of the free trade mi
nority in the House of Representatives,
not long ago introduced bill abolish
Canads. The House committee on ways
and means has voted to indefinitely
postpone consideration of that bill.
Wait till the Democrats obtain control
of legislation Then the downtrodden
tariff reformers of Boston will get free
coal. Yes, and many other free things
" hich they won't want.

questions are constantly being asked,
and statements are numerously made,
as to the comparative forces engaged
in the civil war of 1876, and as to
losses of property in the South, the cost
of the war and other matters of inter
est, says the New Orleans Picayune.
1t is not difficult to get information
as 70 matters on the Northern side.
since all records and reports of the war
are preserved. but on the Southern
side the desired particulars are not so
easily obtained. Some of our records
were destroyed, and many were cap
tured and carried to Washington. and
in the course of time interesting infor-
nation is brought to light.
Cazenove G. Lee of Richmond but
now residing in Washington, has been
searching In the archives of both
sides, and he has got hold of vari-
ETY. of important particulars from the
official records. From some figures of
his recently printed statement In the
Richmond Dispatch, the following are
extracted:

Target Rifles.

Accidental deaths from stray
bullets from target rifles are re-
ported every day. Aberdeen Elk
aminer.
The above is a correct state
ment of a fact which does not
seem to be fully realized and APP
preciated by many good and
thoughtful people who persist in
allowing their boys to shoot these
dangerous things in the streets
and yards of crowded towns and
cities. This is a practice which
has had it's share Of fatal results
in this city, yet in spite of serious
consequences, and in spite of eff
forts by law officers to prevent it,
it seems that some have not been
impressed by it.
Some time ago the mayor is
sued a vigorous protest against
the practice of shooting these tar
get rifles in the city, and the city
marshal served public notice that
he meant to put forth special eff
forts, through the police depart
ment, to break it up. This warn
ing by the mayor and the vigil
ance of the police seemed at the
time to have had a real good eff
feet which has not entirely died
away. There is not as much
general indulgence, apparently,
in this sport as there was prior to
that time,y yet it may still be seen
going on here and there OCCASION
ally.
1t is impossible for the police
to apprehend every violation of a
law of this kind. This is a thing
that the parents ought to take in
hand. Each parent ought to be
his or her own policeman in such
cases and forbid their boys to
shoot these rifles. For a parent
to permit his boy to stand before
his own eyes in his own yard and
shoot across the street with a
target rifle at a bird on the other
side, is not only permitting him
to violate law, but to endanger
life-or to shoot it inside the city
in any other manner for any
other purpose.
We make it a point to refer to
this practice occasionally, some
times quoting the law forbidding
it; for The Meridian target rifle
has it's own death list, a refer
ence to which should not be ne
cessary to emphasize the danger
there is in the practice. The
Meridian Dispatch.

1t gives us great pleasure to note
that Hon. Leroy T. Taylor is
meeting with such marksd sue
cess in his canvass for Trusted of
the Penitentiary. Mr.. Taylor
has spent all the best years of
his life in Lee county, and it can
be truthfully said that he has al
ways measured up to the stand
ard of a useful, faithful and pa
triotic citizen. Mr.. Taylor's in
clination has not led him into po-
litical lines and for that reason
he has not been an office seeker,
and only once before has asked
for preferment at the hands of
the voters. This was when he
was a candidate for State Sen
ator from this district eightyears
ago, and his overwhelming cleo
ton attests his popularity with
his homefolks, ana his splendid
record as Senator demonstrated
the wisdom of the people in send
ing him to represent them at
Jackson. Mr.. Taylor's expert
ence as a business man, especial
ly his years Of experience as a
farmer, fit him peculiarly for
the position to which he now as
pires. We feel that if the Of
flee were seeking the man, that
Leroy 7. Taylor is tt e man that
would be selected. He is the
man for the place, anu we pre-
dict his overwhelming election.
Lee county is solid for him.

Grenada, Miss, June Ia, 1907.
Hon. P. E. Carothers,
Tupelo, Miss.
Dear Carothers:-
1t was indeed a treat to me to
get your letter. / had just closed
my office for the evening, pre-
paratory for home for the night
when dropping into the post office
found your letter and immediate
Iy returned to my office that |
might show my appreciation
thereof by answering at once. l
am running without opposition,
though several parties felt around
for a while to see the lay of
the land in order to give me a
tilt. | really did not want the
place, being too poor a man to
lose my time for such small re-
turn, but became a candidate be
cause a few friends in the county
and State who wanted me, and
even fiattered me, by saying that
| had done much good in the past
and would be in position to do
more in the future. | do sincere
ly hope that you will be returned.
| am sure that If your people
knew the magnificent work you
did there, the many thousands of
dollars that you saved the tax
payers, your outspoken fight
against corporate greed and
steady defense Of the rights of
the masses, that they would rise
as one man and send you back.
| wish | had a thousand votes to
cast; l would cast them all for
you and feel in so doing that l
was not doing you a favor but
the people of the State. l am
not in position to give you the
Information asked as l haveIno
data before me on the subject
but you can find this out by writ
ing to the Governor. | appre-
ciate what you say about the
Speakership, but | do not want
the job. | do not want to be tied
up, and in my judgment the
Speaker, after appointing his
committees, is about the most
helpless man there. However, |
am anxious for good committee
work and we can stand together
there. | expect a heavier on
slaught on the treasury than was
made before, if such a thing is
possible. You have my earnest
and heartfelt wishes for your
success, and if you land then
let me know, for | wish to get in
communication with all of the old
members that we may get to-
gether for the best interest of
the people early in the action.
Do you remember what a hot
time we had over the chapter on
exemptions? Every time | think
about it | have to laugh over how
completely they slipped up on US
and how we had to ''skylark''
around to get together the votes
to keep money off the free list.
If that had passed l think I
would have gone on south for my
health, believing that it would
have been unhealthy for me at
home, at least politically. With
best wishes, | am
Your friend,
S. A. MORRISON.

TELEPHONE SERVICE

The Cumberland Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. wishes to operate in connec-
ton with its exchanges in the country
a county system and to this end request
the farmers of the country to give it an
opportunity of presenting to them its
plans for the service. By the use Of
the greatest of modern inventions, the
farmer can at a minimum cost to him
self keep in touch with the markets and
on the days that the highest prices are
offered for the products of his farm he
can be reached over the telephone by
his merchants or by his confidential adj
visor and thus frequently in one trans
action save more than the cost of his
telephone service for an entire year.

back. They have abundant material
for good nine and will give Ely
something to do when they meet
again. The Ely bunch also need
practice in team work as was clearly
demonstrated at the Tower game.
The celebration at Fall Lake and
Winton was good one, many from
here attending. The horse race turn
ed out rather disastrous, one of the
riders being thrown and seriously in
iured. The Syea band furnished
music for the Fall Lake celebration,
the Finnish band were at the Aus
trian societies picnic at the grove and
the City band was at Tower.
The picnic of the Austrian societies
was an event much enjoyed by those
who attended. Nothing occurred to
mar the pleasure of the occasion and
the crowd enjoyed the music, dance
and refreshments until late hour.
Ely usually has d rousing celebra-
tion OF the National day but the Fire

ment was about all they could handle
during this season as far as finances
was concerned.

CELEBRATED SOME
The Children Enjoyed the
Doings Yesterday.
A Good Time Had by Every
body all Day.

The High School Band awakened
the citizens at an early hour yester-
day morning withSstrains of patriotic
airs and the booming of guns finished
the awakening of the tardy ones.
The weather was not exactly what
the doctor ordered however, and not
much was doing. quite heavy RAIN
falling. This condition held on until
nearly noon. A large crowd of child
rem made their appearance early in
the morning but the rain soon sent
them home.
After dinner, and all afternoon the
weather was fine and the program of
sports and races was pulled off. All
the events had been arranged particu-
larly for children under 10 years and
tBe little folks enjoyed themselves
immensely. A party of Calithump-
appeared in the morning for a parade.
All were rewarded with small prizes.
Each and every child that participate
ed in the races and sports was given a
prize and the small business houses
did a rushing business each and every
child doing their swiftest stunts to-
wards the candy shops.
The day passed off without an ac-
cident of any kind. In the afternoon
many people went to Winton to the
celebration. A large party also fol-
lowed the ball boys to Tower where
Ely and Tower ceossed bats on the
Lakeside diamond, Ely had much
the best of itfrom the start to the
finnish, the Tower boys showing no
strength with one or two exceptions.
Three or four innings were played in
truly base ball style and after that
tine game was too one-sided for inter
est. Ely won on score of Is to 4.
The greatest wonder among the
spectators seemed to be how Tower
secured the four runs. However,
Tower promises to furnish good
nine, the lack of practice aud team
work seeming TO be their main draw

Died from Injuries.

John Hegman, otherwise known as
"Finn John" who has resided in Ely
almost since the beginning of the
town, died today at the Shipman
Hospital from the effects of injur-
les received Wednesday night,
Hegman resided alongside the rail-
road about a mile west of town and
Wednesday evening after being in the
city, left for home after $50. The
following morning he was found near
the track with "a foot cut off. 1t
seems he laid down and went to sleep
with one foot on the rail. He was
too weak to stand the shock and died
today. Hegman was an old man and
leaves two sons. sailors, somewhere in
this country whom he had not seen
in some time.

Dynamite

One of the most dastardlv attempts
to wreck a building was perpretrated
during last night when dynamite was
placed in the Geo. Westcott building
adjoining the MINER office, the struct-
ure and the furniture of the front
Office being wrecked.
The deed was accomplished, as near
as can be astertained at about J
O'Clock this morning. At that time
terrific explosion awakened John
Renner, night clerk at the Exchange
Hotel, across the street, but as there
had been considerable blasting and
cannonading all day and night no
particular attention was paid to the
racket until daylight came when it
was found a large hole had been
blown in the front of the Wescott
building and all the windows had been
shattered. The editor and family,
who occupy rooms about fourteen feet
from where the explosions occurred
heard nothing ofit.
No clew as to the guilty party has
been discovered. The deed was that
of person acquainted with tue use of
dynamite. From indications the
opinion is that the dynamite was let
into the building through hole in
