lWOtxCfltfNI APPOINTMENTS.

Characteristic of .our able COVER
Lor, he has again exercised unusual
discretion in the selection of Judges
for the Second and Ninth Districts.
He had just returned from his visit
to Washington, and spent a lively
and tumultuous week last week be-
fore disposing of two appointments
that enabled him to breathe easier
this week than at any other time for
the past few months.
At eleven o'clock last Saturday
morning, our chief executive arose
from his chair after reading over
the last endorsement, and issued in
structions to Secretary Power, au-
thorizing him to issue commissions
to Thomas H. Barrett, of Gulfport,
to be Judge of the Second Circuit
Court District, and to Henry G.
Mounger, of Port Gibson, as Judge
of the Ninth. This was a great load
lifted from his mind, and the physi-
cal nan felt the uplifting relief in
corresponding measure. The final
selection in each case wss as expect
ed, especially as to Mr.. Barrett,
whom it had been understood fo1
several weeks had been virtually
slated to succeed Judge Hardy.
While Nj. Mounger had also been
picked a winner, there was less as.
surance in regard to his chances,
owing to the high-class endorsement
of Judge Bush whom he is to sue
coed, and there was also a feeling
that Col. Scudder, of the Vicksburg
bar, might nose both of his compel.
itors out of the race.
In making these selections, Gov
Noel was governed by the standing
of the applicants and the strength
of their endorsements, and both ap,
pointees were in sympathy with his
policies and ambitions in regard te
law enforcement, and had been sup.
porters during his campaign.
Mr. Barrett, formerly of Edwards
now of the staunch law firm of Bar
rett & Taylor at Gulfport, is a bril-.
liant young lawyer and his popular
ity is attested by the manner il
which he was endorsed and the
character of his %endorsers.
Mr.. Mounger enjoys the reputa
ton of being one of the finest law
yers in southern Mississippi! He i:
a brother of Hon. E L. Mounger
one of our most highly esteemed
citizens and one of the ablest law
yers in the state. The appointee il
a gentleman of quiet, unassumine
manner, and the p%ossessor of an I'm
improbable reputation among boil
the bench and bar. We congratu
late MI. Mounger upon the deserved
honor our esteemed Governor ha
seen fit to bestow upon him.

Whenever a man begins to brag
about something, you can put it in
your pipe and smoke it that he
thinks he knows it. 1t isn't what a
man knows that he brags about; it's
always about something he thinks
he knows. The old saying that big
talk means little knowledge embod-
les a world of truth.

JUDGE ]. G. LONGSIeffI.

The estesnsed Grenada Sentinel,
in commending the selection of Hon.
J. G Longsireet as T0astmaster at
the Taft banquet, says that he will
acqnit himself with credit; that he
is The right man for the place."
The citizens committee raised by
the State Fair Association and the
Board of Trade to have charge of
the Taft entertainment has been
highly and ~deservedly compliment
ed for inviting Mr.. Longstreet to
preside as POSTMASTER at the ban
quet. There is an affinity between
modesty and ability, and Mr.. Long
street possesses both. He is as mod
est as a violet, as bright as a jewel
and as strong as an oak. This is
the kind Of man Mississippians de-
light to honor.-Jackson News.
Those having in charge the ar
rangements for the banquet to be
given in honor of President Taft at
Jackson have made a most happy
choice in selecting Judge j. G. Long
street to preside as POSTMASTER.
Possessing the most courtly manner
and the greatest charm of u~tterance
he cannot fail to make a favorable
and lasting impression on the dis
tlnguished guest and his party.
With such an opportunity to catch
the a of the nation, Judge Long.
o4roat should ,ftor a pofo that will
give Mississippi a proper setting in
the eyes Of our fellow countrymen
and the world. No other son OF
Mississippi IA do it half so we'll.

such talents and accomplishments
should be permitted to waste them

epresenta'ion.-Greenville Times,
The Commonwealth most heartily
endorses al the good things its es.
teemed contemporaries have to say
above concerning our good friend
and n OF Mississippi's ablest and
most brilliant statesmen. He is
richly deserving of all the praise
these splendid papers have seen fl
to bestow on him, and we wish tt
join them in commencing the citi
zens committee of the Jackson
Board of Trade in selecting judge
Longstreet to preside at the ap'
preaching banquet to be given il
honor of Taft when he visits oul
Capitol City. AS to the Times ref

a well-kno vn fact that he could hav'

within the gift of his people if h
had only given them an %opportunit.
to vote for him. Men of Mr.. Long
streets extreme modesty, exalted in

and brazen hypocrisy used by tn
average politician to secure Office
hence they prefer to practice thei
respective professions and live

Robert Hoe gives among his "Pre-
cepts" the following: Ideas make a
business; concentration is the first
condition of progress; intelligence,
tools and infinite pains, is the for
mula for successful invention. First
analyze an opportunity, then perfect
an organization of a means to obtain
thai opportunity. Rejected for un-
reliability is the occasional for
many an enterprise"

Our state approaches the begin

There is not much difficulty in
controlling your temper when you
are in the right, but just as sure as
you are in the wrong the Jig is up.
You can afford to lose your temper
when you are in the right, but it is
inexcusable to lose it when you are
in the wrong.

Conservation chop judges declare
that Mississippi's cotton crop will
not be less than 1900, 900, and may
go as high as HOO, 900 bales. The
assurance that the price of the sta
pile will loaf around twelve cents
promises a financial return of the
yield fully equal to that of last year.

From the hearty manner in which
Bush League baseball was support
ed by Greenwood, Clarksdale, Cor
NTH, Water Valley, Canton, Grena-
da and other towns in this section
of the state this past season, we see
of no reason why an independent
league could not be organized and
successfully maintained. 1t should
not be operated on any grand scale,
but should give about the same
quality of the game that was afford
ed those cities this past season.
Very few of the clubs went in debt
the past season, and we think that
backed by the proper administra-
ton and conducted in the same
manner as this past season that the
venture would not prove a failure.
Yazoo City, Grenada, Clarksdale,
Greenville, Canton, Water Valley
and Greenwood would make a con-
venient circuit, and would not in
volve any great expenditure. W.
should like to see the movement
taken up by capable base ball en-
thusiasts and carried through.
