BISHOP GALLOWAY
Wants Repudiated Bonds Of
Mississippi Paid

Jackson, Miss, May 25-The
address of Bishop Charles B.
Galloway, of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, South, before the
Mississippi Press Association, In
which the bishop boldly advo-
Gated the payment of the Plant
: ers and Union Bank bonds, which
haye been repudiated by the
state, has created a sensation of
the first magnitude in Mississip-
pi politics.
The Planters and Union Bank
bonds were issued several years
prior to the civil war and in
round figures they aggregate
S8, 500, 600, the Union Bank
bonds being So, 100000 and the
Planters Bank bonds SO, 10000
The state claimed the bonds were
frauduIent!y Issued and refused
payment. The constitution of
1869 prohibited their payment,
and the constitution of 1890 re-
enacted the clause in the organic
law of 1896. At present, in or
der to secure payment of the re,
pudiated bonds, it will be neces-
sary to amend the constitution.
Bishop Galloway's address be-
fore the Press Association, it
now develops, was intended for
the opening gun in the campaign
for either a constitutional amend
ment or a constitutional couven-
ton. The movement, from what
has been learned from an author
itative source, will have power
full support, and it is absolutely
certain that it will have equally
as powerful opposition. The
campaign for the p YIN t
of the bonds, if it is
pushed, as now seems certain,
will become an issue in the state
campaign both for governor and
members of the legislature,
From what has been learned,
it appears that the owners of the
repudiated bonds have given a
portion of them to certain church
and charitable organizations and
educational institutions through
whom they expect to stir up sem
timent in favor of the payment
of the bonds, The Peabody edu-
cational board with which Bishop
Galloway is connected, it is said,
was presented with large
block of the bonds with the un-
derstanding that if they are paid
by the State the money will be
used for educational purposes.
Ex-Gov. James ID. Porter, of
the Peabody board, said today:
eyes, we hold 100000 of the
bonds, but regard them as abso-
lutely valueless. So far as the
board is concerned, it has no in
terest in the proposed movement,
for the reason that it has not the
slightest hope of its success
The 81, 100000 in the Peabody
fund were bought by Mr.. Pea
body and have remained in the
fund since its creation, placed
there in the half-hearted hope
that it might lead to payment
some day.

A specimen of Italian Humor.

The following story is typical Of one
kind of italian humor: Fasolacci was
young idler. He had been spending
money right and left, and one day
found himself unable to pay his hotel
bill. His father being very close with
his money, he appealed to his uncle in
this wise:
Dear Uncle-If you could see my shame
while I write, you would pity me. Do you
know why? Because l have to write for
100 francs and know not how to express
my humble gratitude.
No, 1t is impossible to tell you; l prefer
TO die.
send you this by a messenger who
awaits an answer.
Believe me, dear uncle, to be your most
obedient and affectionate nephew,
FASOLACCI.
p. S.-Overcome with shame for what
have written, l have been running after
the messenger In order to take the letter
! but 1 could not catch up. Heaven grant
that something may happen to stop him
or that this letter may get lost!
Touched by this appeal, the uncle re
piled:
My Beloved Nephew-Console yourself
and blush no longer. Providence heard
your prayer. The messenger lost your
letter
Goodby. Your affectionate uncle,
ARISTIPPO.

THE SOUTH is GeIsa DRY,

Lay the jest about the julep in the
camphor balls at last,
For the miracle has happened and
the olden days are past;
That which makes Milwaukee famous
doesn't foam III Tennessee.
And the lid in old Missouri is as
tight locked as can be
o, the comic paper colonel and his
cronies we'll might sigh,
For the mint is waving gaily, but
the South is going dry.
By the stillside on the hillside in Ken
lucky all is still,
For the only damp refreshment must
be dipped up from the rill;
Moth CaIina's sturdy ruler gives his
soda glass a shove,
And discusses local option with the
South Ca'lina Gov.
1t is useless at the fountain to be
winkful of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty and
the South is going dry.
1t is water, water everywhere, and
not drop to drink.
We no longer hear the music of the
mellow crystal clink
When the Colonel and the Major and
the General and the Jedge
Meet to have little nip to give their
appetite an edge,
Fo rthe egg nog now is nogless and
the rye is gone awry,
And the punchbowl holds carnations
and the South is going dry.
All the nightcaps now have tassels
and are worn upon the head
Not the nightcaps that were taken
fore nobody went to bed
And the breexe above the bluegrass
is as solemn as is death.
For it bears no pungent Glove tang
on its oderific breath.
And each man can walk chalk line
when the stars are in the sky
Fo rthe fizz glass now is fizzless and
the South is going dry.
Lay the jest about the julep, meath
the chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moon
shine and the olden days are
past.
Now the water wagon rumbles thro'
the Southland on its trip,
And it helps no one to drop off to
pick up the drivers whip,
For the mint beds make a pasture
and the corkscrew hangeth high,
All is still along the stillside and the
South is going dry.

It may be a surprise a great many Of our
