Hattiesburg News: There is a
lesson in the Georgia election.
1t pressages the return of the
South to sanity and common
senseand rejuvenation of indus
trial and material development.
The News is glad that Mississip-
pi did not follow Georgia, Ala
bama, North Carolina and other
Southern states into a senseless
fight on the railroads. There was
a strong anti-railroad sentiment
in Mississippi at one time, and a
political demagogue of the Hoke
Smith sort might have taken adj
vantage of it to ride into office,
but this is one time the man ano
the opportunity did not meet.

A man who had been a report.

A man who had been a report
er on a yellow journal was ia
ken sick and finally appeared to
be dead.
But though to all appearances
he had passed over into the un-
certain hence, his friends refus-
ed to bury him. On the third
day after the reporter was sup
posed to have passed from earth
an acquaintance dropped in and
spoke to the man in charge of
the remains, saying: why 90
you not bury this man? He is
as dead as he will ever get and
should be put away" But the
man in charge shook his head
and answered: He acts as if he
were dead, and all appearances
are that way; but l have known
him for ten years, and he has
always been such a liar that |
won't believe he is dead until |
get a certificate fro the door,
keeper Of Hades stating he has
arrived and registered" And
the next day the reporter awoke
from a trance, and after thank
Ing bis friends 1or no. burslus
him alive, he arose and went
out to write a story about a po-
litical conspiracy.
Moral-Tnere seems to be
some advantages in being a liar
after all.

AS TO SOUTHERN FARMERS.

aberdeen, Miss, ExamircO
The record proves the South
ern farmers to be the best agri-
c%ulturalists in the world, and
wherever found they are leaders
in their industry. They did more
to redeem the wilderness from
savage, desert and flood than
any other class of Americans,
and have shown more energy,
perseverance and skill in advan-
cling agriculture, horticulture,
grain, fruit, vine and beast than
their peers of and other section;
but since the war it has become
the style for ignorant journal
lists at home, and ignorant scrib-
blers elsewhere to deride their
efforts and ACHE vements. In
almost every neighborhood in
this state can be found farmers
whose achievements would maze
them notable in the North or
west, and yet they are overlook
ed by a class of people to whom
distance leads enchantment,"
and who are forever seeking
bright exemplars abroad.
There are many hard working
among US whose la'mrs perhaps
instructed, bat you cannot
search the world over and find
as great a proportion of indepen-
cent home owners aed home
livers good livers, too as among
the farmers of Mississippi.
We have had many farmers
come among our people as teach
ers, those who prospered gener-
ally learned more than they
taught.

JUDGE WOOD AND ORCHARD.

The death penalty has been pro
nounced on Harry Orchard. Il the
sentence Is not committed the man
who by his own confession Is the arch
fiend Of the age, guilty Of innumerable
crimes, will have to suffer the ex-
IRENE penalty for the murder 81 Tor.
mer Governor Steunenberg Of Idaho:
1t is highly improbable, however, that
Orchard will ever walk to the gal
lows. Judge Wood has announced
that he. will recommend to the state
board Of pardons that the sentence
be committed. In all likelihood that
is what will be done.
The reason for making this recon-
mendation, Judge Wood asserts, is
that he is convinced Orchard has been
telling the truth. Yet twenty-four
good and true Jurors In Judge Woods
court refused to believe what he said.
II ID: hard to understand how any CON
sistent Judge can recommend commut-
ing the sentence Of such q criminal as
Orchard whenshe believes he is guilty.
Ifs Judge Wood thought Orchards
ystory was untrue then he might have
reasons for asking to have the sen
tence .commuted. The crimes which
Orchard admits having committed are
such that there is no punishment too
great for him. He deserves all that
he gets.
II the state Of Idaho fails in her
duty to properly punish Orchard %
behts his crimes there will be q blot
upon her record and the American
people will be disappointed.

THE LOCAL FREIGHT RATES.

It Is sincerely to be hoped that the
Billings business men, who have gone
to Helena to consult with the state
railroad commission in an effort to
havethe local freight rates out Of
Billings reduced, will be successful.
n order to build up the wholesale
business Of Billings 1t Is absolutely
necessary that the local freight rates

ton with wholesalers in other jobbing
points in the northwest.
Billings is the logical supply point
for eastern Montana and a large sec
ton Of northern Wyoming. It is only
: question Of time till this city will Sc

able the wholesalers here to wonder
fully increase their business. But the
sooner the freight rates are secured
the faster the business will grow, and
the faster Billings will gain In import
ance as a Wholesale center.
The justice Of the cause, which the
delegation Of local business men will
plead, is 50 apparent It is not believed
the reduction will be refused. Billings
IS not asking for an injustice. This
city Is not asking for rates that will
favor It. But the Wholesale men az

LARCENY IS CHARGE


Az l O'CLOCK this morning the jury
which is trying James Boyle, in the
district court On q charge OF grand
larceny had not reached a verdict
and Judge Fox ordered them locked
up for the night. The case occupied
court yesterday and was given to the
Jury at 8 o'clock last night.
The information against Boyle
charges him with robbing Victor
Wartte OF $40 In the Montana saloon
on February z last. He ID alleged to
have taken two SO bills from
Wartte's pocket while the latter was.
sitting in q chair ina drunken stt,upor.
According to the stories 81 wit

formerly worked for the billings,

company and was paid 1873 Tor his

he drew on this money q dollar at q.

On February z, according to tho
dispositions Of three Austrians, Boyle
walked up behind Wartte as he sat
asleep in q chair In the Montana
saloon and extracted a green memo
randum book from his pocket. He
then walked back to a room in the
rear Of the saloon, where the book
was later found lying on the floor
rihed Of It's contents, two SO bills, ac-
cording, to Wartte.
The Austrians say that he next
went to the California restaurant. and
they followed him there and. caught
him paying for his meal with a bank
note. They claim that they accused
him Of frobbing Wartte, and he re-
turned to the saloon and asked
Wartte II he. had taken his money.
and the latter replied that he had
not or words to that effect.
