Important District Bills.

Various important District matters are
awaiting consideration. One Of these is
the abolition of race track gambling
1t is not likely TO be acted on until next
week, however, as the Senate District
Committee shows no signs of taking it
up before next Friday at the regular

fail to be acted upon until the close
of the present meet at Benning.

BATTLEsHIP MISSISSIPPI.

Every State in the Union which
has had a battleship named for 1t
has presented it with a silver service.
Mississippi is the only State that has
made no preparation to present. its
namesake, the battleship "Mississip-
pi, with this token of honor and ap-
probation For some reason known
only to the members of our legisla-
ture, no appropriation has been made
for this purpose, so that If Missis-
sippi is to be spared the '.honor" of
leading in "niggardly policy the
patriotic people of Mississippi must
come to the rescue. Mrs. Eunice
Lockwood of Crystal Springs, Miss,
the wife of Confederate veteran,
a splendid woman of the most noble
impulses, has undertaken to raise a
sufficient fund to pay for an appro-
pirate silver service to be presented
to the battleship Mississippi. The
politicians who tell US from the
stump, when they are running for
Office, about ..the grand old common
wealth of Mississippi" etc., ought to
have saved this patriotic woman this
trouble by the necessary appropria-
ton. but they didn't. Whether it's
right or not matters little. Other
States, all of them, have done it. If
we don't we will be regarded abroad
as short, cheap skates And we
ought to be. Mrs. Lockwood has ap-
pointed Mr.. Walter Weaver and Col.
C. L. Lincoln to solicit subscriptions
in Columbus and Lowndes county,
and they will call on the people dur
ing the coming week. If we have
any pride of State, We must do our
part in the matter.

HONESTY UNoUEsTIoNED.

1t is fine tribute to William Jen-
nings Bryan that during the pending
presidential campaign, which has
been a campaign of calumny, Wilt
tiaction and abuse, his motives have
never been impugned or his honesty
questioned. Taft has been charged
with favoring corporations and trusts.
Foraker's connection with the Stand
ard Oil Company has been proven and
Roosevelt has been charged with per-
verting the high Office which he holds
rOy resorting to intrigue and political
.chfcanery. No one, however, has had
the temerity to accuse Mr.. Bryan of
a dishonest act or even an insincere
gItterance, and we may be sure that
had there been the most f1imsy foun-
dation for such accusations they
would have been made long ago.
In this day and time, when cupid
.Ity and avarice seem to be the domi-
mating forces Of human nature, an
honest man is rarity. and an honest
politician is viewed with equal aston
lishment and admiration. That Mr..
IRryam has gone through three cam
paigns without having his honesty
questioned is proof conclusive that
he is honest, and this fact alone
ought to insure his election. No in
ately honest man ever goes very far
wrong, and Mr.. Bryan's integrity,
coupled with his ability and expert
ence, give him an equipment forethe
highest office in the gift of the peo-
pie that none of the other candidates
seem to possess.

The recent visit of Booker Wash
ington to Mississippi and Arkansas
has already had its results, having
been responsible for the demise of
jim and Frank Davis, two negroes
who were lynched near Lula, Miss,
last Sunday night. The Davis broth
ers had been to a nearby town to
hear the champion CRATER of his race
deliver lecture, and the combined
influences of Booker's fiery words
and numerous potations of blind IL
ger whiskey proved too much for
them. They proceeded to raise
rough house on railway train, and
when Conductor Kendall interIered
they inflicted fatal injuries. They
were placed in jail at Lula, and
mob composed OF irate citizens did
the rest.

ASK VETS TO AID.

At the annual reunion of the Mis-
sissippi division of the United Con-
federate Veterans, recently held al
Greenwood, it was decided to ask
the Daughters of the Confederacy to
undertake the work of raising the
thousand dollars necessary to COM
plete the Stephen D. Lee monument
fund. This action has called forth
a letter from F. H. Daggett, a vete-
ran of the Second Mississippi VoIun-
teer Infantry, in which he declares
that the women of the South have
already done too much for the old
soldiers, and that the veterans them
selves ought to raise the money need
ed to complete the monument fund.
In his letter Mr.. Daggett depIores
the fact that it was necessary to even
suggest a request for aid from the
ladies, and urges his comrades of
the battlefield to come forward with
prompt and liberal donations to the
fund. He says that the money need
I'd ought to be raised at once in or
Ter that the monument may be un-

Sight seeing automobile tours are
becoming so numerous in the large

not long ago, sitting on his front
porch drinking a lemonade when an
automobile containing lot of sight
seers passed by. The man with the
megaphone who always accompanies
a party of this description, placed his
lips against the mouthpiece of the
big horn and called out: We are
