"SCOTT STOCK" ADVANCING.
Every Speech Gains New
Friends for the Man
From Bolivar.

Tupelo, Miss, May 28. Hon.
Chas. Scitt, candidate for COVER
nor, spoke to large and enthusi-
astlc audience here today. The
speaking had been previously adj
vertised and at the appointed hour
the large and spacious court
room was packed with representa-
tive people from different parts of
the country.
Mr.. sicott's address was along
the usual lines and created a pro-
found impression upon his listern-
ers. His speech was greeted
throughout with applause and when
he concluded a perfect ovation was
rendered him.
He was introduced by Private
John" Allen who, in his unique
inmitable way, presented him to
the audience. Mr.. Scott was al
ready one Of the leading candidates
in the county and his magnificent
presentation of his claims today
has caused Scott stock" to ad.
vance materially.

STAND BY THE VETERAN.

Only few years ago governor
of this state was roasted for iav-
ing said something about Con
federatc rot" and now we have
couple of candidates for governor
who are saving that the fact that
Charles Scott is Confederate Vet
eran, is not worth a moments S COLI
sideration Well every Confeder
ate Veteran and son of a veteran
should think that it counts whole
lot. If all things were equal, the
Confederate veteran in the South
should be given the preference.
But when .vete n ON n the
thorough knowledge and ability Of
farmer, lawyer, banker and busi-
ness man lie should be the unan-
imous choice. Besides, Chas. Scott
is a veteran Democrat. He served
his party in the rank and file
in the dark and troub-
lous reconstruction period. He
can stand on his record and ask for
the vote of every Mississippian.
He has earned tibet right III more
ways than all the FIVE remaining
candidates put together. Natchez

The people of the village are not
taking very widewake interest
in the result of the Forthcoming
election for governor, but the sup
Dol ters of Hon. Chas Scott of Rose
dale are hopeful of seeing him at
tain the coveted place. 1t is said
by some of his adversaries that
he is rapidly losing his following
in the State, but if the vote OF til,
village may be taken as criterion,
he is not doing anything OF the
kind. No matter which of the
five Candidates may be chosen, the
State is sure of a governor of parts,
but suppose we get together. and
elect Mr.. Scott, just to show our
people we still know low to honor
the heroes who fought for the
rights of our section. This will
probably be your last chance to cast
your vote for Confe ierase soldier
for governor, so don't lose your
golden opportunity.-Blue Noun

University OF Chicago professors lave

Q custom established four years age
the graduates ut their annual banquet
at the Windermerc last night saw; to
it that none Of the d:gnitaries with
titled positions was present to enjoy
the bounty of the occasion. This was
effected by Il predetermined decision,
for none of the instructors, not even
President Harper himself, was accorded
the honor of receiving an invitation.
At previous banquets he officials thus

Of festivities which, it now develops,
have not been at all 10 the liking of q
large number of the students. The fu1C.
tion has perforce been grave and seri
GUS affair, and the exercises have con.
sisted chiefly of lengthy dissertations
on stock and threadbare subjects by
important lecturers.
Six weeks ago the annual fcte was
proposed. Shortly after q meeting waa
called to perfect arrangements. Al
once the storm broke. The dissatisfied
element made known in no uncertain
terms their feelings in regard to this
matter and asserted that future ban.
! quets must assume different aspect.
Dissatisfaction, however, was by no
means unanimous, for a contingent OF
divinity students and few of the grad
yates flocked to the standard of the
officials. The machine, however, came
out ahead. A toastmaster proposed by
the faculty friends was renowned. In
his stead S. J. McLane was chosen to
fulfll the honors Of that position. His
election was Endorsed with q cheer.
Winning in this way the first point at

that. The banquet was to be happy

KEEP YOUR DESK CLEAN.
Business Untidiness Sign of Lack Of
j Order and Concentration.

There's one piece of advice" said
the senior partner, that I'd like to
give every young man taking a busi-
ness position with a desk attached
to it, It's this: Keep your desk
clean. What l mean by having a
desk clean is keeping everything pos
sible off it except that which is re-
lated to the matter in hand. I've
observed in my time good many
men in their offices, and l can say
that with very few exceptions the
real men of affairs are those who are
free from clutter.
with lot of paper in front OF
you, it's almost certainty that some
hour in the day you're going to be
fiustered and very likely it will be
just when you want clear head. The
old idea that a mass of material
every whichway on the desk is q
sign that a person is full of busi-
ness is pretty well outworn. Such a
collection not only indicates lack
of order, but also a sign that nerv-
BUSINESS may be expected from the
man in the chair. What with fling
cabinets and other devices no excuse
can be offered nowadays for confu.

She was killed by her husband in

ing when she met her death; 1T is
an old piece of work by one of the
best Partisan jewelers.. 1t had been
sold first to the head of well-known
French court family In the excite
ment of the great French revolution
nearly all the members of this family
were guillotined and only few OF
them managed to escape TO Brussels
and so saved their lives, But the
hight cost a lot of money, and they
were obliged to part with many fine
jewels, among them the necklace in
question. From the time that they
got rid of this article they enjoyed
a good fortune.
This cherished Jewel after chang
ing hands about ten times, was bought
by the st. Petersburg jeweler Butz
for 10000 rubles ($2O,OOO) for Prince
v. who was at that time leading
man at court. The prince, who was
a great lover of the ballot, gave the
necklace to the well-known ballenina,
Tzukh. For having done this he was
exiled from st. Petersburg. Tuzkki
left the imperial ballet and finding
her health failing, she went to her
native countryside and abandoned the
stage forever. But before doing SO
she sold the necklace.
"A subsequent owner, the antigua
rian, Linivitch, died suddenly at
Monte Carlo. and a whole series of
people afterward who came into pos
session of the fated necklace had most
sinister experiences. One of these,
a gambler, at Monte Carlo, lost all
his money, and only the sale Of the
necklace saved him from beggary.
Finally it fell into the hands o.
Mr.. Andreef. He paid the low price
Of 10000 rubles $(10,30O) for it and
his wife was wearing it when in a fit
of anger he killed her, to whom he
had but short time ago presented
the unlucky token. The necklace has
now mysteriously disappeared"

The campaign for governor of
Mississippi goes on with unabated
re II OIL the part of the six candl-
dates for that exalted position;
four at least of whom have the as
surance that they will receive the
coveted prize. There has been talk
of two of the aspirants dl opping
out; but no credence can be placed
in this report as each one will hang
on with the assurance that while
there is life there is hope. From
what we can gather from observa-
ton we do not doubt that Scott
still maintains his position as the
leading candidate, and will b. one
of the two in the second primary.
but who the other will lie is a
question very difficult of.solution
before the votes are counted. We
are for Scott first and last and we
feel assured that he will secure the
nomination because the people OF
Mississippi know true man when
they see him, and such a man
they recognize him to be.-Wood-

Something Doing Among Laymen.
Religious circles are being stirred by
the remarkable times of unprecedented
interest among the laymen of the
church in the matter of missions. The
offering at the recent Protestant Epis-
copal convention of three-quarters of a
million of dollars from the church's
men for foreign missions was In itself
without precedent. The convention OF
men lately held was marked by the
same strain of resolution to assume the
financial burden of Christian extension
throughout the world.
Now from several widely separated
points it is reported that the laymen
of the churches have undertaken the
unusual. At a recent banquet in To-
peka, one hundred picked men of
the city decided that the city's annual
gift of between seven and eight thou
sand dollars to foreign missions is en-
tirely Inadequate. They ! resolved to
raise the sum to $40, 900 and to endeayor
to secure it by subscription within 60
days.
St Joseph, Mo-, similarly decided to
increase its offering from $4,000 to $780,
900, and already one congregation In
st. Joseph has pledged itself for one
nth this total amount.
Even more striking was demonstra
ton in Toronto where the selected COM
pany of denomination representatives
gathered to consider this, subject. All
the offerings are to be made through
the regular church channels, and for
regular UNCONVENTIONAL missionary OBJ
jects. Last year. 1t was found, To-
ronto gave $141, 900 for foreign missions.
After careful canvass of the situation
the men have undertaken to increase
this amount to half a million dollars.
Toronto's population Is 800, 900 persons.
This means one and two-thirds dollar
for every man, woman and child in the
city, yet the money is to come almost
wholly from the communicate Protest
ant church membership. Following
the example of Toronto, Brantford
Ont, with population of 10000, which
last year averaged $3.50 per church
member for missionary purposes, has
agreed to increase the amount to So
per member. Hamilton, Ont, with q
population of 100000, averaged last year
so per church member to purely mis-
sionary purposes. The men of the
churches have undertaken to double
this amount. London, Ont, which has
a population of $4,000, last year gave
$275 per church member. The men are
to make the amount SIS
per church member this, year, These
meetings were held under the auspices
of the Laymen's Missionary Movement,

ceives no money for itself and under
takes no missionary, work on it's own
