Co. Supt.
j. A. Jelly received q telegram
Tuesday morning stating that his
father died at Aberdeen the night
before. Mr.. Jelly Sr. left Scotland
in company with his daughter Mrs.
Hatfield, last Friday after visiting
here for several days. He was
nearly eighty years of age and had
had some trouble with his heart,
but otherwise he appeared remark
ably robust for a man of his age.
He went from here to Columbia
where he spent Sunday with his
grandson, and on Monday he re-
turned to Aberdeen on his way to
his home in Minnesota. No par
ticulars were given in the telegram,
but it is supposed that while there
he was either overcome by the heat,
or had a fatal attack of heart troub-
lie. Mr.. and Mrs. Jelly left on the
afternoon train Tuesday to accom-
pany the remains to the old home
at Lakeville, Mimi. for burial.
From the Mitchell paper we
notice that Miss Mabel Meighen
has accepted a position as teacher
in the seventh grade ofthe Mitchell
schools. Whether it is the increase
in salary or social advantages we
do not know, but some way Mitch
ell seems to be considered a line of
promotion for Scotland teachers.
| We have surrendered to the Mitch
ell schools, Miss Scallin, Miss
Frizzell, Miss Thurston, Prof.
Manthey and Miss Meighen, and
if it would be of interest to the
Mitchell board we might remark
that we still have some good ones
left.

WILL OUTLINE MS TRADUCfRS.

The election Of Governor A.
II Longino as one OF the delegates
from Mississippi 10 the Democratic
National Convention doubtless con-
yinces some people that he is not by
any means politically dead. The
truth about the matter is that Lon
gino was perhaps the most popular
delegate in the state convention
The Commonwealth.
While it is a stretch Of magma
ton to think that L0ngino was the
most popular delegate in the state
convention, his selection as delegate
to the national Democratic conven-
ton was a distinct and strong re-
buke to his traducers. Longino's
administrations Of public Offices
have been marked by ability and
honesty, which fact is recognized by
the fairminded people who will not
tolerate to besmirch any man whose
record is clean.-LeXington Adver-
tiser.
LoDgino made one of the best
governors Mississippi ever had, as
an additional tribute to his popular
ity be was made chairman Of the
Mississippi delegation to the great
Denver convention. Longino will
live long after his traducers shall
have been forgotten. -Ellisville New

THE QUESTION OF RATES.


It is not alone the great Southwest
that is rising up in protest against
the proposed increase in freight
rates. The entire country is pro-
testing with reason snd justice in
the protest against an arbitrary de-
termination to increase freight rates
which, already large enough, would
IN the increase add another and an
exceedingly onerous tax upon pro-
Queer and consumer alike. Mr.. ".
C. Brown, senior Vice President Of
the New York Central, in his dis
cussloa Of the question before t5e

Commercial Organizations at Chica-

in his remarks, evincing not
alone the determination Of the
railways to increase their freight
rates but an assumption to their alb
soIute power to do 50. One para
graph IN his address is especially
worthy Of note-his challenge to
the commercial, the shipping, the.
industrial and agricultural interests
Of the entire country, and it is as
follows;
The issue is in the hands of the
business men Of the country. If the
business interests Of the nation
shall, after consideration, say that
railroad rates shall not be advanced,
| doubt il it can be done. But it
should be understood clearly, de-
initeIy and beyond all question of
doubt, that in saying this they say
just as clearly and as definitely that
the wages Of the great army Of L.
100000 railroad employees shall be
reduced and they must accept the
full measure Of responsibility for the
result which will follow"
The threat Of ice-President
Brown may be passed over, save for
the purpose Of calling attention to
the fact that it is the fixed belief Of
the railways Of the country that all
interests are subject to their control
the interests Of producer no less
than consumer. 1t may also be
further passed over because Of his

THE STATE REPUBLICAN cONyEN.
TON

Tho Vermont republican convention
for the nomination OF State ticket has
passed into history. and those who par
| ticipated in It's stirring proceedings have
already turned their faces toward the
future conflicts in the political arena.
Tho most intensely interesting features
OF party convention like that held at
Montpelier last week are those which or
dinarily do not appear in the clerical re-
ports, the secretaries record, the
speeches, the results Of the different
| votes. and 80 on, but while victories and
defeats are important in themselves.
chief interest for the initiated centers
about the manner In which certain re-
| suits were brought about and tho rea-
sons and motives underlying the adop-
ton OF certain courses.
1t IS always we'll to remember that
In connection with q contest like that be-
tween the two candidates for the COVER
norship. for example. . great variety OF
interests are factors In tho situation.
The two men seek the once because they
want It, and others favor the one or the
other because they believe their respect
I've favorftes will best perform the duties
Of the Office Again in q State. as In a
town. certain factions favor one can1i-
their interests. while the success OF an
other candidate would mean the eleva-
ton to control Of another set OF men.
No matter which set wins the result Is
an organization which the outs. no mat
ter which side. almost invariably desis
nate rs the "machine" and new ''ins''
simply mean q new machine.
The State convention at Montpelier
last week was no exception to the rule
in regard 10 factional considerations. and
II there we're time II would DO interesting
to discuss tho manner in which former
politicai contests in Vermont project ed
themselves into the latest locking OF
horns within the republican ranks. and
how congregational contests as we'll as the
United States senatorship election were
not without influence In shaping the Sc
: lection OF q State ticket. What would
have happened in the latter connection
: with the election OF a senator to Ill out
/. Senator Proctors unexpired term, II a
= different result had been reached al
Montpelier yesterday. must remain large
" a matter Of conjecture.
! The governorship contest was in
reality settled by the people them,
! selves at tho primaries and tho returns
: OF the two morning newspapers In the
!, State. which evidently must always be
, strictly non-partisan. II their useful
3 ness and reputation are TO be preserv'
0 ed, showed that . clear majority ha<
. been returned for Mr.. Prouty. Aftel
J. this result had become evident AM
y had been acknowledged by not few
n leading supporters Of Mr.. Stanton. tho
n opinion was formed In certain quar-
= tiers that while the governorship wal
= apparently lost 1t might be possible
