"MOVING PICTURES -

The moving picture enter talnnent
| is no more an innovation, but an en-
terprise that has apparently come to
stay, Just the same as the legitimate
drama.
The moving picture creation has
two attractive merits, the cheapness
OF the price of admission and the
many possibilities of entertainment
and instruction. By means of the
moving picture we are enabled TO
witness great events of current his
story and the spectators vision Is
readily transported to foreign lands
and scenes, to say nothing OF the
creations of the artists imagination.
The field for subjects almost limit
less. and the field of instruction is
wiunout bounds A lecture is ali the
more interesting and intelligent with
the aid of the moving picture appa-
ratus.
The post card fad continued popu-
lar for a long while as medium OF
eduaction and instruction, but this
largely in a measure is being super
ceded by the moving picture theatre.
1t is to Edison, the wizard OF elec-
tricity, that this and future genera
tions owe a debt of lasting gratitude
for the twentieth century form OF
amusement, and while the original
vitascope has been improved and
otherwise elaborated upon, the credit
will ever belong to him, the same as
the steam boat is accredited to Rob-
ert Fulton, yet the steam-propelled
vessel of today and of Fulton's pat
tern are so far from being identical
as to bear no resemblance.
Let the moving picture habit con-
tinue as it will. 1t is healthy, to the
mind and body-it feeds one and
stimulates the other, while it enter
tains and detains our presence from
olner phases of spare moments that
| night not prove conducive to better
morals, etc. The price is no drain
even on the slimest purse, and the
return in time will prove manifold.
| Philadelphia first, then Baltimore are
the home Of moving picture theatres
but every city is getting liberal
quota of the ''nickle theatres and
the country towns, too, are coming in
| for their share Bay st. Louis has

| in number-aIl equipped with splendi
compliments and literally patronizeo

STATE TREASURER's UNTEN-
ABLE POSITION.

Treasurer Edwards of the State OF
Mississippi has lost out In the arb
trary position which he wo:ld have
tenable Until the Supreme Court
proved otherwise. This decision was
rendered on the 18th, inst, and
brought to a close an extended con-
troversy between that functionary
and some thirty banking institutions
of the State over the depository laws
passed by the recent Legislature. The
decision of the Supreme Court is
plain, positive and worded in unmis-
taxable terms, and, further, should
the State Treasurer insist upon his
position it would be tantamount to
closing his office, for it would ufti-
mately result in ousting him from his
job.
That Mr.. Edwards weakened to-
wards the end is granted. He assum
the position and demanded that only
certain securities were legal in the
acceptance of bank bond or collat-
eral4 in securing State deposits, and
the weakness of his position was
plain in his verbosity to the public in
an effort to explain. Explanations
do not always explain, for these are
naught in too many instances but
apologies.
The Gulfport Journal commenting
upon the subject is of our thinking.
It says:
Anere was number of banking
institutions that qualified as state de-
positories, according to the law, and
the failure OIL the treasurer to deposit
state funds with them was no less
than a veto of a solemn act of the
commonwealth and usurpation of
the rights of the State, for which he
should be held accountable, the same
as any one who is guilty of viola
lion and disregard of the laws.
Whether collateral securities or sure.
ty bonds were offered by the banks
should have made no difference to
Mn. Edwards, just so the law was
complied with. All of the fuss about
his being responsible for the "peo-
pies money" amounted to nothing.
The legislature passed depository
law and threw such safeguards around
the State funds as it deemed neces-
sary and expedient and it was up to
the State Treasurer to carry out the
Nv instead of raising howl about
his opinion. The people of the State
want treasurer who delights in act
ing according to law and not one who
persists in multiplying it.

No one has gone higher in Daloon
than six miles. The exact height at
which the occupant Of balloon might
live is problematical. At thirty miiea
the air becomes practically nothing.
It is calculated that only at a dis-
tance of 26, ,2S4miles from the surface
of the earth is the centrifugal force
developed by the whirling OF the
globe sufficient to cast off any mole
cules of air that might exist In this
region. If an object could be thrown
from the earth with sufficient force
it might reach a point where the at

PEARL RIVER LANDS SECURE A
BIG LOAN.
Fifteen Dollars an Acre is Placed on
About Nine Thousand Acres.

From the Jackson Clarion-Ledger:
AS Illustrating the rapid increase
in the value of lands in this vicinity,
a law firm here who lend large sums
has recently placed a loan of more
than one hundred thousand dollars
on 5000 acres of wild lands situated
in Leake and Madison counties, ,twen-
ty-five or thirty miles north of this
city. A very few years ago these
same lands sold for So an acre, and
now foreign loan company author
ICES its local attorneys to advance
SIS per acre on the same property.
Ten years ago these lands were con-
sidered absolutely worthless, hardly
worth the small taxes that were col
lected on them, and they changed
hands time and again at so cents per
acre, perhaps less.
It is understood here that these
gentlemen who have made this loan
will use the money in developing the
property. Saw mills will be erected
at some convenient place near Pearl
river, and the vast quantities of pine
and hardwood timber that now stands
idle will be put into merchantable
shape.
1t had been thought for two or three
years that railroad was to be built
up from Jackson through this terri
tory, or that the New Orleans Great
Northern would continue it's line on
to the Alabama line from here, but it
has not even made arrangements to
get into Jackson, and confidence in the
proposition to extend it's operations
north is dying out to considerable
extent.
There does not seem to be any
doubt that some railroadw ill tap that
section some time or other, but not
soon ,and the only way to get its rich
timber resources to market is to raft
or float them down the river to this
point.

APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS.

Committee.

To chas. G. Moreau, Editor of the
Sea Coast Echo, Bay st. Louis,
Mississippi.
Dear Sir:
There are no secrets In this cam
paisn. Strictly practicing what he
breaches, MIR. Bryan would not win
victory with tainted money paying
the election expenses.
Not a dollar is to be accepted
which requires any promise, either
express or Implied, other than for
HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOVERN.
MENT.
MIR. Bryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from the en-
tangIing alliances, free to serve all
classes of honest citizens alike, or
he will not enter it at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign of Bryan and Kern must
be conducted by the people.
Thepeopie must pay the necessary
campaign expenses If they want pub
lie servants who will serve their in
terests.
Special interests and favored cias.
ses, having secured "SWoLLEN
FORTUNES" by purchasing favors
in the past with MILLIONS CON
TRIBuTED TO CONTROL ELEc-
lTIoNs, Stand ready to give MIL
LIONS MORE FOR CONTINUED
FAvoRs. But that class never gives
dollar unless it buys a pledge.
Mr.. Bryan says, from March 4th,
1909, "LET THE PEOPLE RULE"
This can come only If the people
pay their own bills, and control their
own elections.
"BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS
BEARING GIFTS"
That policy of the favored few
buying mortgage on the Govern
ment meant that the candidate for
President knew a few people only In
an entire State.
Bryan says, "We will take the
cause of PEOPLES RULE home to
the people of every country"
You can serve the grand cause Of
popular government through the COL
umns of your paper. 1t reaches the
fireside of the patriot who loves
his country for his country's GOOD;
as distinguished from the greedy
possessor of swollen fortunes who
loves his country only for his coun-
try's GOODS.
Please carry this letter in Bold
Type at the masthead Of your paper,
asking everyone who favors Govern
ment by the people to pay you, at
once, as many dollars as he can
spare to aid the Campaign for
BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLES
RULE. You forward these gifts OF
honest hearts and homes every week
to the Treasurer of the Democratic
National Committee, with the name
of each contributor and amounts
given. The Treasurer will forward
you a certificate like the copy en-
closed for each one, asking you to
deliver these certificates.
Once more, you shold be part OF
the Great Organization bearing the
Lamp of Light to every nook and
corner of Free America.
Our country is for the people; Its
I Government must be by the people.

 Fresh from Madison County, which has been the scene of lively interest in agricultural science the past few days, Hon. !. A. Wilkinson. Commissioner of Agrictlture and Industries. was ju- bilant yesterday when seen in his of- flee. Commissioner Wilkinson, with a corps of expert lecturers and voluntary speakers conducted a series of farm CTS institutes in the northern county of the state last week.
 It is the estimate of MT wilkinson that not less than 1000 earnest men assembled at the institutes in Madison County. The discussions took such a wide range and were participated in by such learned speakers that stand Ing room was difficult everywhere the party went. Congressman William Richardson and pr. B. R. Ross. state chemist, were on the several programs besides Commissioner Wilkinson.
 The institutes will go to Colbert County this week. It is understood that the occasions have been we'll ad- vertised in the several parts of Colbert to be visited and the enthusiasm and attendance are expected to rival the sister county of Madison.

AN HONEST ARTIST.
Ho Would Not Paint a 10 Evon Fob
a Napoleon.


There was no love lost between the
Emperor Louis Napolea and hin
cousin Prince Napoleon, whom thG
Parislans called "Plon Plcn." The
prince used to mako abulve speeches
against the emperor, witch people
were only too ready to roeat to him
"Let him Alone" Louis Napoleon would
reply. "He is too well lnown. Nc
one would turn me out to pace him on
the throne"
The emperor was correct, for no one
said a good word about ''Elon Plon."
He was commonly believed to have
shown the white feather in ne Crimea
and never exposed himself where the
lead was falling. An English lady
who In her younger days mingled with
French society tells In her Foreign
Courts and Foreign Homes" a story
as discreditable to Prince Napoleon AZ
1t is honorable to a French artist.
While the artist was painting the
historical picture of the battle OF the
Alma, which the emperor had ordered
Prince Napoleon called at the painters
studio to make known TO him the facts
On leaving he said he wished the
prominent figure in the battle to be
himself mounted on his white charger.
He sent the horse to the artist, so that
he could paint Its exact portrait
When the picture was finished and in-
vitations were sent out for private
view" the white charger was seen, d
prominent figure in the battle, but
without rider
On hearing Of this terrible omission
the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask
the reason. The honest artist said tho
horse should remain II the prince
wished, but no rider would be on 1t.
Tell the prince have never yet
painted lie." The hint was taken.
The prince ordered the horse to be
rubbed out.
