MLest We Forget"

Those who were in Peking during
the Boxer uprising and who visit the
foreign settlement to-day see many
changes. The legation walls show no
signs of warfare save one corner of
the British compound, near the gate
opposite the Forbidden City Here the
bullet holes remain. and the broken
bricks lie just as they were when the
allied forces relieved the garrison.
To preserve the memory OF those
trying days and nights Sir Claude Mac
donald, then In command OF the Brit
ish post, had the words Let We For
get painted at the spot where the at
tacks were fiercest. This Is the only
real mark to-day in Peking of the
great trouble of 1900.-Wide World

cnel Gordon Appointed
Senator.

eceding from his original de
termination to leave the selec
ton of a senator TO the legisla
tua e, on Monday afternoon Gov.
err or Noel appointed Colonel
James Gordon as senator to fill
the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator McLaurin.
{ olonel Gordon is a native OF
Pontotoc county and has at va
r US times represented his
countyin the legislature and the
district composed of Pontotoc,
casaw and Calhoun counties,
in the state senate. The selec-
TIN of Col. Gordon came as quite
a surprise to the people Of the
te after Gov. Noel's announce
ment that he would make no ap-
pointment.
In receiving the appointment
Col. Gordon made the statement
tin { he would not permit his
me to go before the lesislature
the state as candidate.
e appointment carries with ii
a FULL years salary at $500,
mileage of 20 cents per mile go to
and returning from Washington
and the appointment of a private
cretary at a salary of $1,000.
Col. Gordon will appear at
Washington on Monday to be
sworn in. Congress having ad-
journed until that day.
Had the adjournment been un-
til Tuesday and the session con-
We ming on the same day of the
convening of our legislature, the
ate would doubtless have de-
clined to swear him in as a rep
reser tative. A similar incident

PENNSYLVANIA who was appointed

presented his commission to The
senate on the same day the legis
lature of his state met. The
senate refused to swear him il
and he was forced to wait unit

re upon the election of a sue
ssor by the legislature. Should
e legislature fail to elect, he
