and other popular measures.

ana other popular measures.
1t was alleged during the primary
campaign that Brown had the support
of the railroads and liquor interests.
and after the votes had been counted
and Brown declared the successful
candidate, the friends of Smith made
charges of wholesale frauds and as
serted that trainloads of men from
Knoxville, Chattanooga and other
places had been brought in to the state
to vote for Brown. All of these allie
cations are denied by Brown and his
friends, who declare that the voters
had tired of Smith and his "hypocriti-
cal' prohibition, corporation-baiting
program.
Horrible revelations of cruelty and
graft in connection with the operation
of the convict lease system, disclosed
by a legislative investigation commit
tee, have caused ferment in the state
and demand for the abolition of the
system is being made.
Although Brown is certain of cleo
ton. it is likely that the vote will be
smaller than usual. The breach in the
Democratic ranks caused by the pri.
mary fight between Brown and Smith
has not yet healed and many voters
will probably stay away from the polls
TO express their displeasure at the
nomination of Brown.

. threats made here. Night riding is
one form of lawlessness that heroic
measures should be invoked to destroy
at its very incipiency. It will annibi-
late in one night the prosperity that
has taken years to bring about; it will
ppt the stamp of hoodlumism and
reckless lawlessness upon a commu-
nifty and ruin it financially. No bank
or money lending company. will put
out dollar to make a crop should
these outlaws commit their outrages
in our county, and that would mean
ruin to every planter in it. Attempts
have been made to show that these
criminal acts are being made by the
sanction of the Farmers Union. A
bigger lie was never invented. It
might be true that some over-zealous
young member of the organization,
who being filled with socialistic ten
denotes, and stories of "Deadwood
Dick" mingled with some mean whis-
key, might slip up, and under cover of
darkness, and post a gin, but that
should not reflect upon the organiza-
ton as whole, for there is no organ
ization under the sun but has some
reckless and irresponsible members.
The Farmers Union is organized to
bring about "a better condition of
things among the farmers. Every 9TH
er form of labor and capital has an
organization, and why not the farm
ers? We are absolutely in favor of
it and think its purposes noble and
worthy of perpetuation. Don't censure
an organization for the acts of one
reckless individual. If you do that
not a church in the land but would be
open to criticism. Guard your gins
and treat all incendiary trespassers
as you would mad dog running at
large. The men who would burn
gin would burn your house and MUIR
der your family and they do not de-
serve any human consideration what
ever. Give them dose of their own
medicine and you will soon find out
that such incendiarism will cease.

THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS

McComb Journal: There is an old
saying that misery loves company. D.
and therefore, we welcome Bro. Nor
wood, of the Magnolia Gazette, to the
circle of candidates. Joe wants to be
mayor of Magnolia. He says so. and
he sure ought to know. The SUPER
abundant energy of Bro. Norwood can
not find full vent in making one of
the best papers in south Mississippi,
but he believes he can manage the
affairs of that thriving town in a way
to shed lustre on it and himself We
agree with him, and hope that a suf-
ficient number of the citizens of Mag
nolia will also agree with him and
place him at the helm of affairs of
the town when he will undoubtedly
be as much as home as he is one the
journalistic tripod.

The recommendations of the con-
ference are expected to be of the
greatest importance. The increase of
the draught limit will be discussed and
possibly acted upon favorably. Sug-

believing that the time allowance

CHEAT DEATH OF u LIVES
TARs ON BOARD OF STRANDED
STEAMER RESCUED.
After Facing Death for over a Day,
They Finally Make Their Way
to Safety In Boats.

New York, May 9.-Seventy-two
men who for more than "a hours had
been facing death in the raging sea
near Fire island, were rescued from
he crumbling hulk of the big German
ship Peter Rickmers Friday. The res.
cue was effected after one of the
most trying experiences the life
savers on this exposed coast had ever
been called upon to face. No less
than a dozen times hope of saving the
men on the doomed ship was all but
abandoned, and II was only the cas-.
ing of the gale and terrific sea that
made rescue possible. Fortunately
not a man was lost and It is be.
lieved that not one of them suffered
any permanent harm as a result of
their long fight against death. The
great steel ship, one of the finest sail
Ing vessels that ever rode the sea, is
total wreck. Her bow and stern
have been completely torn of by the
waves, her masts were ripped out, her
deck houses and bridge swept away,
and she is full of water. She is
lying far back on the bar, and It is
unlikely even that any effort will be
made to tow her to deep water again.
The Rickmers struck the sand bar
about ten miles from Fire island
April 30, while bound out from New
York for Europe. At first 1t was be
lieved that she would be floated with.
out difficulty, but as the wind contin
ued and she drove farther and farther
on the shelving bar her position be-
came serious. Even then, when the
wind decreased, 1t was believed that
she would be fioated without serious
damage after portion of her cargo
of case oil had been Jettisoned.

BLACK PAPER, WHITE INK.
Novel Proposition of Wisconsin Print
Paper Makers.

Appleton, Wis, May S.-If a PROPOSE
tion put forth Thursday by Wisconsin
print paper manufacturers is taken
as seriously by eastern manufacturers
and by the publishers of the country
as 1t is here, Americans in the near
future will be reading black newspa-
pers printed with white ink.
The chief points advanced for this
revolutionary proposition are the pres
ervation Of forests, the saving OF mil
lions of dollars annually In pulp wood
and the reduction in price of print pa
per to perhaps one-half the present
price. Black paper can be made of
old and used newspapers. and, In fact,
almost any fibrous stock, while white
paper requires spruce or hemlock

POWERS SUPREME
IN POLITICS
MAY INTERVENE TO SAVE MONT
GoMERY FROM PRISON
GATES.
CASHIERS DEFALCATIONS
ARE ENORMOUS
Partner Of the Silent Quay, He Made
a Fortune for Both Betting on Har-
rison's Election-Rank Officials To
Demand Rigid investigation.

Pittsburg, Pa, May l1.-That the de.
falcations of Cashier William Mont
gomery, of the Allegheny National bank
of Pittsburg, will reach S750,O00 is now
believed here, and that powers high In
state and national politics will inter-
vene and keep from prison the smiling
banker whose counsel in years gone
by helped Quay make one president OF
the United States and whose advice,
financial and otherwise, made several
governors of Pennsylvania.
Within trihe over three years
time there has been stolen by en-
ployes of banks in the Pittsburg dis
trict almost $5,OOO,OOO, at least this
much has been made public.
Rumor is rife in Plttsburg that some
one connected with the Allegheny Ma
tional bank will demand an investiga-
tion of the source of fortune which in
the past few years has come to certain
women in Pittsburg.
II was in the little back room of
Montgomerys bank, the room known
as the Quay room, that 1t was first fig
ured out that Benjamin Harrison, of
Indiana, should be run for president Of
the United States. Montgomery was
present at this meeting, called by
Quay for his henchmen, and II is said
that Monty" gave the advice at this
meeting which decided Quay to look
toward Indiana at this time for the
next president.
In any event, both Quay and Mont
gomery made a fearful killing on the
election OF Harrison. II was to Mont
gomery that Quay sent the message
some nights before election TO put up
every cent he could get, at any odds
obtainable, on the election of Harri-
son, and 1t was Montgomery who at
this time arranged for the hasty mort
gage on the home of Senator Quay at
Beaver, so that Quay might bet even
more cash on the chances of Harrison
Quay is said to have taken down $780,
900 as his share of the wagers wnen
all was over, Montgomery taking an
equal amount.
1t was the same Montgomery now
under arrest who was sent hurriedly
by Quay to some conference in Phila
delphia, about which some one had
wired the silent senator at length.
Quay had been asked to reply by wire
but instead he sent Monty" his next
friend who delivered this expression
since grown famous in politics:
Don't write; send" Which meant
that nothing if importance in politics
should be entrusted TO the mails or
the telegraph wires, but should be sent
by trusted messenger to deliver by
word OF mouth.

BANK ROBBED OF S469,OOO
CASHIER OF ALLEGHENY lNsTl.
TUITION ARRESTED.
Veteran Employe Admits Taking
Large Sums to Give to specu-
lators-All Is Lost.

Pittsburg, Pa, May S.-William
Montgomery, cashier of the Allegheny
National bank, and known to thou
sands of Pittsburg business men and
politicians as BILLY" Montgomery, and
once Quays financial man in this city,
was arrested Thursday charged with
embezzling large sum of money from
the bank. 1t is said by some that he
made away with $469 900 of the bank 8
funds. Others charge that the figures
will reach close to $1.000,000. He was
released on a $4,000 bond.
Montgomery admitted he had taken
large sum of money from the bank,
and declared he did not have penny
of It left All, he said, with his own
fortune, estimated at $50O,000 Is
gone. Montgomery claims he advanced
large sums to spectators without the
knowledge of the other officials of the
bank.
When he demanded the return Of
the money, he said, the spectators,
caught by hard times, were unable to
return It. Who the spectators are
Montgomery would not say.
Montgomery had been with the AL
legheny National ever since he was a
boy For almost 20 years he has been
cashier. For a quarter Of a century
the bank has been the headquarters Of
Allegheny county Republicans, and
while serving as cashier Montgomery
became intimately acquainted with the
late Senator Quay.
