That Cotton was King and Slavery

man could whip six Yankees with a
cornstalk; that fifty-cent silver dollars
issued in sufficient quantity would

1t was stated that this resolution
was unnecessary as the original reso
lutions virtually opposed any reduc
ton in the salaries paid to the police
and firemen. The amendment was in.
sisted on, however.
Mr. Draughn thought that this mat
ter should be left open; in the present
conditions Of things it was impossible
to tell what would happen and IL
might become necessary at some fu-
ture time to make the reduction, but
it should not be done unless 1t was
necessary.
Mr.. M. Dunn said that he did not
understand that the meeting was
called to regulate salaries. He didn't
see how this meeting could have any
thing to do with it. The council had
increased the salaries and that body
was the one to make the reductions.
he understood the purpose. of the
meeting to be to select men to run for
councilmen. He said that he had no

What the Sun means by meat for

something bombastic and absurd;
something to make the South, and
Southern men and women, ridiculous
Indeed, CONTEMPORARY setting aside
the Governors "Salutatory" as tame

amusement and reprisal in the writing

We quote again from the New York
organ of Mr.. Roosevelt's Circle of
Predatory Wealth and Pagan Culture:
"'Why,' he asks in thunderous tones,
Should New York continue to dictate
what the American people-S5,00 900
of minds-what the Nation from the

Mississippi vehemence is unnecessary.
Nobody reads anything but fiction; and
the admitted capitals of that are Indi-
ana and Washington. However, let us
turn from the man-made East to the
golden, growing South"
Primitive? Yes. Here in the sun
blessed South, where Gods footpaths
have not as yet been walloped into
filth by the grizzly hordes of Southern
Europe; here in the harvest-ladened
bowl of the Mississippi River we are
primitive-the sons of our Creator, low
ing life, and. living on prosperous
farms in peaceful Cities"
IF no fire and steam are to come
from Ir. Vardaman, if he is settled
down in dull decorum, at least the
Wild brims the harvest-laden
bowl may bririg little assuagement
to the man-made East"
Does not Gov. Vardaman perceive
that the Sun is laughing at him and
mat derision is "a frost-a killing |
frost?" And this puts it up to the gov
ernor to say what he means by the
'erm "Apostate." We do not precisely
catch his drift; but, if it be a term
he ears of lady should not hear, we
shall have to call the gentleman at

Opponents.

jackson, March Ex-Governor Noel
has announced the appointment of a
chancellor in the eighth district and
circuit Judge in the fifth district.
In the former Chancellor T. A.

Eupora on the circuit court bench.
The term Of Chancellor Wood ex-
pires on the first of June. There
were two applicants other than him
self for the place-Messrs. McAllister
of Waynesboro and Griffith of Gulf
port. These gentlemen and their
friends have been interviewing the
governor every day or two for a
month or more. and great deal of
interest was felt in the matter. Very
little was said about the judgeship in
the fifth district, and it was known to
but few that there was an appoint
ment to be made in that part of the
state during this session of the legis.
lature, as the term of the present in
cumbent does not expire till next Sep
TENDER.
Both Of these are good appoint
ments. Both gentlemen are recogniz-
ed as able lawyers. Judge Wood has
had four years experience. and has
given very general satisfaction. Mr..
McLain is one Of the most PROMINENT
attorneys of the northern portion of
the state, and his friends do not Doubt
that he will make satisfactory judge
This completes the list of judges
and chancellors to be appointed by the
governor during the present session of

COIe-Ryan Combination
CLERK.

The Prescott Journal Miner recently printed the following dispatch, dated at Benson:
 ''It has been learned that the Cole Ryan crowd will in the near future send prominent mining experts to ex- anime the work done three years ago in the Chiricahua mountains within half a mile of Paradise, by the Chiri- cahua Development Company, now known as the San Simon Copper Com pany, in which Messrs. Cole and Ryan are heavily interested.
 1.-The work consists of shaft 500 feet deep. from the bottom of which is tunnel, 5 300 long. Several other tunnels have been run, and a ledge of iron ore about 600 feet wide, carrying small per cent. of copper was proven to be in the property. The total ex- penditure represented about S45O,OOO.
 "Now that small mining promoters are doing little. the big operators are more active than ever, especially the Cole Ryan people, who number among their more prominent interests large holdings in the O. & A., which recent ly paid for several rich copper gold groups north of Benson, and is now said to be arranging for property west of Benson in the Silver Bell district.
 "Having recently acquired control of the Sierra Madre Railroad, the vast lumber concessions of Col. Greene in Mexico, also his mining interests in that republic. aside from the Oananea holdings which they had previously secured, there seems no Gouot that this concern will be the greatest oper- ator of mines on the American con- tinent, and second only to the uarri- man railway systems in developing Mexico.
 "The operations of these gigantic interests which are now being actively extended north and west of Benson,. will be an important factor in the future growth of the junction town,. which is a point through which all communication must pass from south and east to the north and west"

Fifth Cavalry to HawaiIa.

According to the dispatches from Washington. the Fifth cavalry, now stationed at Fort Huachuca has been ordered to the Hawaiian islands to in crease the garrison there. There are at present but four companies of in fantry in the islands and they were some time ago found to be inadequate and it has been found necessary to add to the force in view of the fact that there is a plan on foot to build up a substantial naval station there.
 The Fifth cavalry passed through Yuma Monday morning on their way home to Fort Huachuca from Camp Atascadero, where they have been playing the war game. They will re- main at Huachuca for short time before departing for the islands - Yuma Sun.
