CONVICTION OF THE cooPERs.

Against the verdict of the jury and
the sentence of the court in theh ia
nous Cooper case at Nashville, Tenn,
there will be no disposition on the
part OF the public to demur.
The penalty is light.
Twenty years for the slayers of Ed
ward Carmack is none too severe,
even IL the crime were committed
while the elder Cooper was excited
anent the merited castigations which
he had received from the pen of the
distinguished editor
If there is any fault to be found
with the result by the rank and file
of the American people, who have so
closely followed the evidence from day
to day, it must boon the ground that
theh punishment is insufficient, meas
ured by the atrocity of the crime
which has been committed
But the defendants are men of
power and influence in the state of
Tennessee.
They are widely connected
In the trial of the case they were
represented by learned and distin-
guished COUNSEL and doubtless the
prosecution entertained little hope of
securing a conviction for the crime
beyond the grade of murder in the
second degree, even though the hap
less victim of the fatal bullet was an
ex-United States senator, who met no
intellectual superior in the great
American house of peers.
For weeks past the trial has been in
progress.
Judge Hart has presided over the
proceedings with marked ability and
his rulings have been characterized
throughout by firmness and fairness
. We are glad that a menace of
mistria1 has failed to materialize; and
whatever may be the result of an ap-
peal to a higher court, the honor of
the great state of Tennessee has been
sustained in the sentence of justice
which has been melted out to the de-
PENDANTS.
The verdict will have a wholesome
effect throughout the South, and es-
pecially with those who had come to
regard wealth and position as a license
for crime.

LUMBER OUTLOOK.

The outlook in lumber circles is
much better than a week ago, and the
indications are that the Improvement
will be even more marked during the
next ten days
The Camp e. Hinton mill one of
the largest in the district, is about
to be rehabilitated with a strong st.
Louis syndicate behind it. This will
mean much for the neighboring town
of Lumberton in particular and to the
Hattiesburg district in general
The receivership for the Ellisville
Lumber company means that the bus
mess of that corporation will be adj
justed and its large timber holdings
will be disposed of to theh best adj
vantage
Z A majority of the mills of the dis
trict are running and the market is a
little stronger than formerly, due to a |
partial settlement of the tariff issue.
The outlook Is not discourraging.

COUNTIES PRACTICE FOR
BIG SPELLING BEE

JACKSON, Miss, March 22.-Pre
paratory to the state spelling bee to
take place at Natchez during the an.
nual convention of the Mississippi
Teachers association on April 30 and
May l and 2, county spelling matches
are now being held in various parts
of the state.
These events are under the ausni.
ces of the county associations Of
teachers, and several of ITEM took
place at the county>seats today. while
still others are scheduled for next
Saturday.
Indications are that practically ev-
cry county in the state will have from
two to dozen entries in the spelling
bee and it will be the big feature of
the Natchez convention.
Owing to the severe illness through
which President T. P. Scott is now
passing, Secretary ]. T. Council of
Gulfport is in active charge of all the
arrangements for the gathering. 1t
is expected that fully 1900 teachers
will be in attendance.

JACKSON, Miss, March 22.-In sew

being quietly organized to get rid of
the negro postmasters now in office
at the close of their present terms.
Within the past few days adyices
from such towns as Ocean Springs,
Bay st. Louis and Edwards have been
sent out to the daily press stating
that citizens are tired of the negro in
cumbents at their respective Offices
and will ask the authorities at Wash

as their successors.
The movement thus far has been
singularly free from any manifesto

and is backed by conservative citizens
who are inspired to believe that it
viii be President Taft's policy not to
appoint negroes to Federal positions
in the South when qualified white per-
sons can be secured for the places.
This view is strengthened by the !

influences are being brought to bear

recting that an entire regiment of

part in the annual encampment Of

one battalion of regular troops will

likely that he will succeed in the I'M

ton in Congress have been requested
to place the matter before Secretary
Dickinson, and in addition to this, per.
sonal letters are being written to him
by some of his closest friends in this
state. In view of the fact that Judge
Dickinson is a native Mississsippian,
it is hoped and believed that he will
show this state a little bit of favorit-
ism, especially in view of the fact
that the regulars who went into camp
with the state troops at Columbus last
year were delighted with the treat
ment accorded them, and the event
proved of the greatest benefit to the
state guard.
All the plans for the encampment
are making good Roadway, and it will
undoubtedly be the most notable event
of its kind in the history of the Mis-
sissippi national guard.

Say, Bill!
Somebody's going to jump on you,
But when, or where, or how,
Or why he's going to do it, Bill,
Nobody knows just now.
There's no good reason why he
should,
AS far as can be seen,
For everything in sight thus far
Is mighty nice and clean.
The whole darn nation seems to
think
That William is the goods,
And you are there to pull the push
Out of the recent woods.
Nobody says word but praise.
The North and South unite
In one broad sentiment, to-wit:
That you're all right.
But. Bill,
Somebody's going to jump on you;
We feel it in the air,
And presently you'll get a jar.
And know that something's there.
You're trying to do your level best.
But mind, it won't be long
Until you've done some sort of deed
Somebody'll think is wrong,
And then you'll get it good and hard
For having rudely thrown
Some other mans opinion down
And holding up your own.
It's bound to be that way because
1t always is. and what
Is always is always, although
A new mans on the spot.
Do what you will,
The best or i'll,
No matter what you do
Get ready now to take it, Bill
Somebody's going to jump on you.

would be Obliged TO pay the govern
