sonville prison, was condemned to
death, he was offered pardon and re-
ward ii he would implicate Mr.. Davis
personally in the alleged maltreat-
ment of the Federal prisoners, so as
to fix on him a charge of murder.
Wirz Indignantly refused this infa-
nous offer, and died, what was indeed
a martyrs death.
Nethiss =ss left left but 5as 10 - M.
Davis for treason. After he had been a
prisoner for two years he was arrang-
ed before the United States Circuit
Court at Richmond, Virginia, and a
jury composed partly of negroes, the
first of that sort, was chosen to try
him. But he was not tried-the gov
eminent was not ready. 1t never got
ready. Mr.. Lincoln's forecast was JUS
tilted. If any treason had been com
mitted against the constitution and
the Sovereign States that created it.,
it had not been committed By Mr..
Davis and his compatriots,
But while Mr.. Davis could not be
convicted of treason, nor of murder,
nor of inhumanity, it was necessary
to justify the cruel manner in which
he had been treated. And SO it became
-.
the fashion to praise the Federal Gov
eminent for its clemency in not hang
ing him and his fellow traitors. The
outrageous accusations diligently
circulated by the Federal Government
about him we're silently dropped, but
never withdrawn. The Northern histo-
rians, who failed to give currency to
these accusations, found it expedient
to ignore them and the utter absence
of any evidence to sustain them.
Hence it is that the masses of their
people yer left in ignorance of the
truth; and a new generation grew up
to believe the lies. And SO Mr..
Davis continued to suffer in his name
and reputation as he had suffered in
his body as a prisoner, vieayioHsH for
his people. He lived and died a mar
tyr to political truth, to political
honesty and honor.
This story has been told not to
arouse vindictive passions, but to in
cite those who hear it to the noble
task of defending from unjust re-
proach the name and fame of a great
and good man. 1t is not enough for
the South to celebrate the anniver-
saries of Mr.. Davis birth, it is not
enough to erect monuments to his
memory. The voyld must be made
to know that among the Southern
heroes there was none Drawer, truer,
nobler, more loyal, more self-sacri-
6cing, mor worthy of eternal fame,
than the maligned president of the
Confederate States. On this centen-
NAL of his birth | gladly place this
loving tribute on his grave.

OF interest to Fasrners.

In letter to the newspapers of
the State President Hardy, of the
A.. & M. College, says:
Il wish you would especially
urge the young farmers of your
county to attend the Round Up
Farmers Institute at the College
next week from the 9Th to the 18th
inclusive
The many classes of live stock
and the quality of it, together with
the character of work the College
is doing along many lines of indus
trial development will be an in
spiration to any young man in the
State. Every farmer is invited to
come and bring his entire family,
as we are prepared to take care of
the mothers and daughters as well
as the fathers and sons.
''The College has some of the
best live stock on the American
continent, and we are anxious to
sell our surplus to citizens of the
State as a means Of improving the
live stock in the entire common
wealth. This is a fine opportun-
ity for those desiring to make a
puchase as we'll as for those desir-
ing pleasant outing. All are as
sured of a hearty welcome. -

OkIahOma's Bank Guaranty Law.

The law of the new State Of
Oklahoma requires the banks to
establish a guaranty fund, which
may be drawn on to pay depositors
in full in case of failure Or trouble
with the banks. A bank commits
sioner is charged with the execu-
tion of the law. A certain bank in
the State was recently closed be-
cause its acting managing officerrs
had violated the law Of borrowing
money the president $7,067, and
the cashier $4,614. The bank had
on deposit $36, ,744, with only SO, 574
in cash, and ST ,564 due from other
banks not half enough to pay the
depositors. Within one hour after
the bank commissioner took charge,
he had authority to draw on the
State guaranty fund and pay the
depositors in full, which he did in
side Of two days, except to a few
depositors outside Of the town.
The stockholders of the bank will
not come out so we'll. In the final
liquidation they will realize about
fifty cents on the dollar. This
Oklaohrna law, like its prohibition
statute, seems to be a pretty good
thing. The democratic party in
its national platform has a plank
favoring such law for all national
banks Of the country. Forest Reg

Elattiesbure's Mayor Gets Busy.

Hattiesburg, Miss, Sept. A
sensation was created in the City
Council last night when Mayor ].
D. Donald announced the summary
removal of three of the oldest mem
-bers of the police force. The ac-
tion of the Mayor was ratified by
the Council. In explaining his ac-
tion Mayor Donald said that one
deputy sheriff had made more ar
rests and turned more money into
the public treasury during the past
few months than all of the fourteen
police officers combined. The off
GERS discharged were Noteworthy,
Norwood and McInnis. Mayor
Donald was recently re-nominated
after one Of the warmest municipal
campaigns in the history of the
city, during which he pledged him
self to the enforcement of the law
and laid the responsibility for the
existence of blind tigers at the
door of the Police Department.

Contributions Needed for the Old Ladies
Home.

Mrs. A. H. Longino, president
of the Old Ladies Home Associa-
tion, has issued am appeal to the
people of Mississippi for further
aid. Mrs. Longino states that the
home will be ready for occupancy
by the 1st of October, by which
time the furniture will be in place.
A debt of $500 is still due on the
buildings, and money is needed to
fully equip the home for the re-
ception of inmates. She asks con-
tributions of bed clothing, includ-
ing linen, or money to buy same,
and mentions various either needs,
such as kitchen equipment, in
cluding range. The home, as
now built, will accommodate about
twenty-five inmates. When it is
thoroughly equipped and its main
tenance provided for the manage
ment will consider enlargement.
What is now needed is money to
provide necessary equipment and
support until the next Legislature
meets, when it is hoped to secure
an adequate appropriation.

The friends of one of the deposed
professors at the A. & M. College
have begun circulating petitions to
the Board of Trustees, calling
for the designations of President
Hardy and DIR. Henry Noel. The
Vicksburg Herald, one of the bit
terest critics Of Gov. Noel and
President Hardy, characterizes this
movement as well meant but IF
timed, and says that the time to
strike is when the next session OF
the Legislature meets; which shows
that the high kickers over the
present College administration are
already divided in their councils
and policy. Of course the board OF
trustees are going to stand firm on
their late investigation and adjudi-
cation of College affairs, and by
the time the Legislature meets
again, the true inwardness of all
this cry by the enemies of Gov.
Noel and President Hardy will be
so transparent to every body, that
the Legislature will not dignity it
with serious notice.

Saturday on other questions that

Saturday on other questions that
properly entered into contest of
this kind, it is swift to ascribe
this fact to another than the real
reason in order to use it as a
weapon, where the truth is not
known, to sustain it's unscrupulous
fight on President Hardy and the
College Board of Trustees who have
not responded to its false and Off
cious vaporings.
Now mark how plain tale will
put the News down.
The only time A. and M. College
matters were ever brought into the
Congressional canvass in this Dis
trict, even in a remote way, until
it was again referred to by the
News as above, was when Mr.. Dick
son, who is a College Trustee, a
few weeks ago at Martin, by re-
quest of Mr.. D. H. Chamber
lain and others, made a state
ment of the College troubles,
as he understood them, after
all the candidates had spoken.
1t is true that an anonymous cor
respondent of the Jackson News,
with the reckless disregard of facts
Iso characteristic of that paper,
promptly reported that there had
been a clash between Mr.. Webb and
Mr.. Dickson at Martin on the Col
lege question, Mr.. Webb taking the
Hardy side and Mr.. Dickson the
other; when the real facts were as
we have stated, and that at the
time Mr.. Dickson made his state
ment by request, Mr.. Webb was
not even present and never opened
his mouth on the subject at any
time during the Martin meeting.
Mr.. Dickson himself confirms this
version of the incident, and neither
he nor Mr.. Webb has ever brought
the College matter into their can.
vass and they have no disposition
to do SO, as The Leader has first
authority for stating.
This much in simple justice and
fair play to both the candidates
and to in part expose the unscrupu-
lous methods Of the jackson News
in its general treatment of A. and
M. College affairs.
There are certain phases of the
College subject about which the
best and most sincere Of men dc
and may honestly differ; but wilful
and malicious misrepresentation o1
facts and personal villi6cation such
as has characterized the policy oi
the jackson News and some others
is quite another matter.
AS for the Congressional race
this College question has properly
no more business in the race thar
the question of who is to be the
next Sultan Of Morocco fact, al
we have stated, both candidates
fully appreciate.
The Inconsistency and hypocrisy
lof the News is transparent. It has
hoWled long and loud that Gov.
Noel, Pres. Hardy and the Board
of Trustees we're prostituting the
| College management to political
lends and deplored this alleged fact
with buckets Of crocodile tears yet
here we have it trying to inject the
College as political issue into d
congressional contest outside Of its
own district, where such question
has no place whatever.

DIRTY, UNSCRUPULOUS METOHDS.
A Mean Attempt Of the jackson News to
Inject a False Issue Into the Con-
sressiOnal Campaign in This
District.

That the attitude of Hon. w. A.
Dickson, the farmer candidate for
Congress IN the seventh district, on
the A. & M. College troubles, con-
tributed in a very large measure to
his remarkable victory in the pri-
mary last Saturday is generally con-
ceded by his friends and support
ers, and they believe, furthermore,
that it will also result in his cleo
tion in the second primary.
Mr.. Dickson is one of the six
trustees of the college who believes
that President Hardy ought to re-
sign, and he so voted at the recent
investigation held in Starkville.
During the campaign prior to the
first .primary he was frequently
asked, while addressing the voters,
to give an explanation of the COL
lege troubles, and it seems that he
succeeded in vindicating his posi-
tion very thoroughly.
Farmer" Dickson, as he is pop
ularly referred to in the seventh
district, is one of the leading far
mers of Wilkinson county, but
heretofore he has not taken an act
i've part in politics. He was the
last candidate to enter the race,
having formally announced after
Congressman McLain retired from
the field, and at that time he was
comparatively unknown to a major
ity of the voters in the district.
His opponents, of course, did not
attack his position on the A. & M.
College controversy, but it was
through his connection with this
muddle that his candidacy quickly
attracted attention, and undoubted-
+ ly won for him hundreds Of votes.
The second primary, to be held
on Sept. 10Th, and promises to be a
redhot finish. Mr.. Dickson is op-
posed by Hon. Jesse Webb, of Pike,
one of the most active and aggres-
sive young public men in the dis
trict. He enjoys a wide acquain-
tance in every county, and a strong
political influence built up through
several years Of service as district
attorney. Both candidates will get
back on the stump this week, and
remain in the filed until the date
of the second primary.
While Mr.. Webb does not desire
the A. & M. trouble to be made an
issue in the district, since it in
reality has no bearing whatever on
the race, it is nevertheless certain
to be a very live question in the
second campaign, and Mr. Dickson,
although a plain, unassuming far
mer, doubtless realizes its full
political value. Jackson Daily
News, 31st ult.
