ASKED TO RESIGN THEIR POSITIONS.

At the meeting of the board
of trustees of the Agricultural

The friends and sup porters of
Hon. w. S. Hill Candidate for
Congress in the Fourth District
were surprised to read the fol-
lowing card:
'Winona, Miss. Aug. q 1908.
To the People of the Fourth
district of Mississippi:
Il have been in Office long
time, and think | have made in
this contest a clear and decent
canvass. 1 am known to the voters
of the district, and felt that my
record of usefulness and fidelity
would be indorsed; but since the
result of the recent primary, it
seems that the voters think
otherwise, and, not wishing to
incur the trouble, strife and ex-
pence of a second election, |
hereby withdraw from the race
for congress in this district. and
desire to thank my friends most
sincerely, who have been so de-
voted to me this year and for
many years in the past, and will
always be grateful to them.
Very respectfully,
W. S. Hill.

MONUMENT To GENERAL LEE

An effort will be made to Sc
cure funds to erect a monument
in memory of the late Stephen ID.
Lee in the Vicksburg National
Military Park.
William 7. Rigby chairman, is
mailing a letter to the many
friends of General Lee through
out the country, of which the
following is a copy:
August 25, 1908.
My Dear Sir-I have the hon.
or to invite your interest and as
sistance in the effort to secure a
fine standing bronze statute of
the late General Stephen d. Lee
for the park. 1t will be placed
on Confederate avenue, on the
line of his brigade during the de-
fense, and will cost about S10,-
600. One-half of this amount
has been pledged by his son,
Blewett Lee of Chicago, and the
other half must be raised by con-
tributions from General Lees
friends, North and South. The
proposal strongly appeals to
those who have personal knowl-
edge of the generals nobility of
character and lovable disposition.
Please let me hear from you in
regard to it..

time after time called the atten-
ton of the Street Rw'y people to
the fact that their track was not
laid in accordance with their
franchise, and had on many
occasions been assured that the
proper adjustment would be

been done looking to the relief
demanded and that he felt it his
duty to call the attention of the
council to the matter.
Col. w. NJ. Baldwin Atty, for

ALUMNI PRESIDENT
is CALLED DOWN,
CHAR6ED THAT He IS ACTIN6 WITH
PARTIALITY AND WITHOUT CONSULT
ING OTHER OFFICERS.

Some weeks ago President Gill,
of the Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College Alumni. sent out a
circular to the members asking
opinions in regard to publishing
the evidence in the recent inves-
LEGATIONS of the troubles in that
institution and, it seems, without
consulting with any of the off
GERS, prcce eded to make a de
mand for the stenographic copy
of the evidence with the inten-
tion of using only such of it as
he thought would be detrimental
to President Hardy.
That his plan does not meet
with the unanimous endorsement
of the Alumni can easily be told
by the following letter:
Mr.. ]. j. Gill,
Starkville, Miss.
My dear Mr.. Gill;
/ am a little late in answering
your circular letter to the Alumni,
but a matter of such importance
| did not desire to answer hasti-
ly. In the beginning of your let
ter, you show me that you have
a mind very much prejudiced in
the matter and places me in a
doubtful state of mind as to
whether you are the proper man
to have this evidence published,
even if such is to be done. Ino.
tice that you underscore "popu-
lar unrest" " and popular feel
ing" and | am prone to believe
that you mean those among whom
this feeling of unrest is popular
instead of the great mass of
Mississippians for whom this
great institution is intended. The
fact that you did not consult with
the executive committee or with
either vice president gives me
the idea that you are acting for
a few rather than as an unbiased
servant of the many.
You must know that this step
you are taking is an attempt to
break vital precedent and if ac-
complished may sci iously hamper
the institution in the future. No
one objects to having the public
know the evidence presented
during the investigation, but to
have it published by the Alumni
after the findings of the board
of trustees, would be equivalent
to placing our stamp of disprov-
al on the action of this body, and
to do this as a body would be un-
called for and in exceedingly
bad form for the Alumni.
| conceive it is the duty of the
board of trustees to elect the
president of the institution and
then it becomes the duty of the
Alumni Association to support
the administration no matter who
the president may be. By pop
ular vote we elect our governor
and it is but just and proper that
we rely upon his wisdom and in
tegrity for just administration of
our laws and upon his judgment
for the appointment of our Off
cials to fill with efficiency their re-
spective capacities. In this mat
ter the trustees have spoken, and
we, among whom, Unrest. " is
not popular, should abide by
their rulings.
Kindly understanl that | do
not disapprove of the entire evil
dence being published if the pub
lication is authorized by the
board of trustees, but | strongly
disapprove of the Alumni taking
this step without the proper au-
thority.
| have written at length that
you may not mistake my senti-
ment.
Yours very truly,
E. NASH BROYLES.

Christian Church.

Good audiences greeted the pastor,
Rev. l.. d. Anderson, at the Christian
church yesterday. The attendance of
men upon this church is very crafty
ing to the pastor and members. AT
the morning hour the speaker made
a talk on the work of the bible school.
and gave out that the Christian
church centennial would be celebrat-
ed next year, before which time it
was hoped to have some sixteen hun
dred persons in the Sunday school.
Plans for increasing the attendance
on large scale are now being laid
by those in charge of this department
of the church work. At the evening
hour the church was well filled, and
after a masterful sermon, Nane addi-
ton resulted. The music at the eve
ming hour was of high order, some
twenty-five voices rendering excel
lent music. The choir will be greatly
during the next few
weeks, and better music may be ex-
pected

SUNDAY SERVICES AT
THE LOCAL CHURCHES.
e**===**%*=****=
PRESBYTERIAN Church,

Following is synopsis of Dr.
Crozier's sermon, Sunday, June 81,
1908:
Text: For the law was given by
Moses, but grace and truth came by
Jesus Christ; John LII.
This is one of the most important
passages in all scripture, yet vast
numbers of christians fail to under
stand its stupendous import. Men
are prone to interpret God by the
laws of nature. They see these laws
operating invariably, increasingly, uni
formly, and hence they think then.
supreme. They see that fire burns.
that poison kills, that cold freezes, in
obedience to laws that are memorable.
That disobedience to- these laws
brings penalties. That these laws
are blind and deaf and dumb to all
pleas for mercy or abatement of the
penalties due for their infraction.
They thus lose sight of the vast and
important truth that is found in the
second part of the text that grace and
truth came by Jesus Christ. They fail
to realize that as He worked miracles
restored sight to the blind, made the |
lame to walk and even raised tho |
dead, thus overcoming or suspending |
