Aeroplane's Circular Flight.
Henry Farman has continued hla
marvellous flights at Paris with his
famous aeroplane built by the Voisin
brothers on the general plan Of the
Chanute soarer. Before a great and
wildly enthusiastic throng of people he
repeatedly Unanswered his machine
one kilometer In a complete circle, re-
turning to the point of departure. This
was regarded as a demonstration OK
practical aerial flight. by machines
heavier than air or without the aid OF
gas bags. The machine first rolled
slowly along the ground on its four
pneumatic tired wheels. then as the
speed increased from the action of the
propellers the big winged thing shot
off into the air at a gentle angle, all
the time Mr.. Farman steering with
apparent ease and confidence and keep
ing an even keel and a steady course
to the turning point and back.

party should have all the light possible
and the candidate should fit the plat

on account of many false reports in

disgruntled." He
says his availability is to be decided
not by him, not by few leaders and
not by the leading newspapers, but by
the voters of the party. He says,
further, that he has not been waiting
to see who the Republican nominee
would be nor to ascertain the chances
of victory. No matter who the Repub-
licans nominate, whether stand pat
ter or one favorable to reform, the
Democrats must make an aggressive
fight. He believes the prospects of
victory for his party are excellent, but
the action of the party cannot be
made dependent on the prospect Of
success" If the party believes that
Bryan's nomination will help it he will
accept, whether the prospects point to
defeat or victory, for defeat can
bring no disgrace where the cause is
just one.
His final word is that the campaign
will be an appeal to the public con-
science in view of the recent investi-
cations which have shown the corrupt
use Of campaign funds contributed by
corporations which thus sought "to
convert the government into a business
asset" He says his party can make
no promises to such corporations, for 1t
would have to betray the voters, las
the Republican party has DONE" No
one should favor his nomination un-
less the party is willing to open its
books and show where its contribu
lions come from and for what the mon
ey is expended. An appeal to con-
science Is politically expedient as well
as morally right, as the national con-
science has already been aroused and
the voters educated to the necessity Of
a reform that will make this govern
ment again government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people.

Rankin county has been running In the
same old rut for forty years, but has
needs, now has one of the most up-to-
date court houses in the state: We're
advancing along every line except one, our
public roads. While we have roads
enough and bridges enough, in fact, too
many of both, we have very few good
ones of either in the country. Experience
! has taught that our road system IS de-
| fective. 1t has also taught that a steel
bridge across large stream is better and
will cost less in the long run than a
wooden one. In other states it has taught
| that graveled or macadamized roads are
worth spending money for and are a
pleasure as we'll as profit to the people.

Ious one across Parish Slough, until steel
bridge was built, and we guarantee the
assertion that three bridges across Pela-
hatchie creek on Brandon and Fannin
Iroad has cost as much as the steel bridge

| will be safe as long as Pelahatchie over
flows. Its time we should wake up and
demand our rights, and vote If necessary,

$1,000 for court house annex, pay super
