"a UNIQUE CRIMINAL RECORD.

The convict CHI aries Currie, who "a.
tered the penitentiary Tuesday, has
5auite an interesting history from .
nriminologist's point Of view. +. ~
At Grafton, Judge w. J. Kneeshaw
sentenced Charles Currie Of Mimic, to
serve his fourth term in the peniten.
stiary ct Bismarck. This time Currie
received sentence If enc year and
i've months on a charge Of selling liz.
nor Illegally. He had served sentences
for burglary, grand larceny and liquor
selling. He was released less than
q year ago after serving q sentence OF
i've years. One rather odd feature Of
his case is the fact that he has always
returned to Mimic Immediately after
his sentence expired. -
n Some years ago there were sever
~ fires in Mimic and Currie was sus-
5pected, E. r. Sinkler, who was
ststsh attorney at that time, hired a
detective to investigate matters. He
failed to secure sucient evidence to
convict Currie Of incendiarism, but
secured evidence that he was guilty
OF burglary and his conviction was
secured. In Currie's possession was
found an internal machine, which
could be used in incediarism. 1t con-
sisted of box packed with excelsior
In It was a candle. It was so arranged
that. when the candle burned a certain
distance there would be fire. After
Currie was sent to prison there were
no more fires.

DENNY HA | I
GETS A WINDflIL.
GOVERNMENT PAYS HIS *cLAIM'
4. FOR ONE DOLL Ar AFTER
Il 81 " u. T. AZ YEARS. r. z:s b

TN Dennis Han1hn received q dra1I
from Washington for twenty dollars
and nine cents In payment of q claim
he has been trying to get from the
government for forty.seven years. He
was then young lieutenant in charge
OF construction OF federal breast-
works at Murphysboro, Tenn. When
Dennis turned over to the quarter
master the equipment in his charge
he was one bayonet short: The
quartermaster told him unless X he
made 1t good 1t would stop his set
Element with the government per
ahaps for months. Denny asked what
the weapon was worth and being
told 1t was charged at one dollar, he
paid the amount but was hostile at,
what he thought was an injustice.
He made the officer give him q re-,
ceipt describing In minute detail the
weapon, and told him he would never
quit until Uncle San, made it good.
At least q dozen different claim
agencies have undertaken to get it
for him, but were turned down, one
after another. Years ago, when Dem
ny was in Washington q friend, who
thought he had some influence, accom-
panied him to see the claims de-
partment to see what could be done
about it. Learning there that there
were six hundred thousand claims
which would have to be disposed of
with any OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
before he could be accommodated
with any special consideration, he
concluded to wait.
rs It has been twelve years since he
last heard from his claim and that
to- the effect that 1t had been again
turned down. He had it taken up
again, and yesterday received draft
In payment of his claim OF one dollar,
with $1,000 interest. !
He also received at The same time
however, notice that the other claims
which he fled at the same time, for
travel pay from Murphysboro to the
headquarters and from that point to
the place where he enlisted, had been
turned down. Hannif1n says that he
is not done with the government yet
but forty-seven years Is a good
while to wait. -.

GOOD

The Improvement of country
roads is about the most talked of
subject in the state just now.
From all parts Of the common
wealth the agitation is arising
and almost every month some
county takes a forward step In
the matter of better highways
for the country. It's the most
important material question con-
fronting the state and the dis
cussion will result in much good,
as it will cause the people to
pause and think for a moment
and when that is done some ac-
tica. will be taken.
Good roads appeal to all who
are contemplating a move to any
section, and one of the first
questions asked is, What
facilities have you for getting
our produce to market" jack
son Tennessee has the best roads
in that state, and now they are
using sand and clay for grading
and it is proving a success. Why
can't Lee county produce her
own material and build just as
good roads. We have. the same
facilities for grading, and it is
a question that should be con-
sldered.

MISSISSIPPI LAND THE BEST.

An exchange remarks concern
ing the adaptability Of this soil
to all crops: /
Anything that may be pro.
duced anywhere except in the
tropics may be produced in the
Delta. While land properly titled
with ordinary seasons will pro
duce a bale of cotton to the acre
this same land will produce from
SO to 100 bushels of corn to tn
acre, while peas, potatoes, yeget
ables, rice, oats, wheat, clover,
alfalfa, vetch, rape, melons and
fruits grow to perfection here.
The delta has the soil and the
climate to produce big crops OF
everything that will grow in the
United States
Not only is this true of the
Delta, but of the larger part OF
Mississippi. The soil and climate
around Tupelo is unexcelled any
where. 1t is above the average
in rroductiveness, and all fruits
and vegetable grow here in abun-
dance. Unlike most soil, our
lands here thrive without the
continued use Of fertilizers.
The sooner our farmers get the
idea of raising all they need for
home consumption, just that
much sooner will our section be-
come Weather and our home
merchants have more money to
put in circulation.

Senator Hale's solemn word for
t that the house holder is ray
ng nothing to a protective tariff
hat builds up American industry.
1t is the retailer who is the
guilty wretch, the son Of iniqui-
ty, who makes high prices and
practices extortion on the con-
sumner.
The foreigner, it seems, is 10
longer paying the tariff. He u.s.
ed to; but that was before the
protectionists changed their ar
guments. The consumer does
not pay it, as Senator Hale has
proved. There are no consumers
anyhow, for Senator Long says
they are all producers. Natural
~ the retailer does not pay it,
for he robs the consumer. who is
a producer.
Who does pay the tariff? Why
it must be a beneficiary himself
like Senator Hale's son and Sen
ator Scott and Senator Elkins
and Senator Guggenheim. He
is the wretched victim of the
beneficent system. and out OF
charity to himself he wants du-
ties raised so as to be relieved of
his burdens. IN. Y. World.
