Mr.. Taft will have become really
President-elect. The constitution
provides that the president and vice
president be chosen by electors. Gus.
tom has repealed the constitution in
this regard by public opinion which
requires the electors to vote as the
people tell them to vote. The election
of Chamberlain in Oregon, and sever
al other senator's nominated by direct
primaries, mark the beginning of a
similar repeal of the constitution as to
senatOrs.

knights of Pythias

The meeting Monday night of
Tupelo lodge 1873, was the BAN
ner meeting of the year and
much good was accomplished.
Some very important questions
were brought up for the con-
sideration of the lodge and con-
siderable oratory was indulged
in.
To some of the brothers pres
ent, this meeting might be con-
sidered rather strenuous, but it
only showed how very much
alive local members are, and the
keen interest shown will bring
about good results.
Next Monday night, the regu-
lar election of officers will take
place, and every member is urged
to be present. If you are inter
ested in the upbuilding of your
lodge, come out and lend your
valuable assistance. Do not tell
some other brother how the lodge
should be run, but come out to the
lodge and tell them.
Seven applications were voted
on and investigating committees
appointed. In these seven appli-
cants for the rank of knighthood
some of the best material in Tu-
-pelo is represented. This is only
a beginning, and straws some
times tell which wav the wind
blows.
The big night is next Monday
night when officers will be elect
ed. Come out and give the lodge
your assistance.

Election Monday.

The proposition to issue bonds
in aid of the construction of the
proposed railroad comes up Mon
day for decision by the people of
Tupelo. That the road would be
of incalculable benefit to the peo-
pie cannot be denied. No man
in the town could be hurt, in
fact no man in the town, prop
erty holder or not. could fail to
receive some direct benefit if the
road is built. If the question of
issuing bonds is decided in the
affirmative the bonds can be is
sued only in case the road is
built. If the road is not built
then no bonds will be issued.
With another road our town
would put OH new life and would
increase it's population and busi-
ness four fold within a short
time We bave the location,
the territory with fine business
opportunities and the only thing
needed is to get in touch with
our opportunities. If we fail to
do so somebody will step be-
tween us and we will drift back
ward instead Of going ahead.
Let every voter take these
facts into consideration and vote
for the bond issue Monday.

Auburn on the 18th inst. He
had been in poor health for some
time and owing to his advanced
age and infirmities had been con-
fined at home more than year.
Mr.. Ritter had been a citizen
of this section for many years
and had reared a large family of
useful children. He was man
of answering integrity and held
the confidence and respect of
everyone in the community in
which he had so long resided.
AS a neighbor he was accomodat-
ing and kind and a man of great

the landmarks that connects the
present with the ante-bellum
days has passed away, the county
and commudity losing good
citizen.
He was buried at Spring Hill

course of friends gathered to
pay their tribute of respect.

How it Gets Away.

Have you ever found it a hard
thing to spend money? We i'm.
agine not. If you have you are
an exception, foc with most peo-
pie money-spending is as natural
as sleeping. Your money seems
to be gone before you know it,
and often you have nothing to
show for it and wonder where it
has vanished.
One of the very best features
of a bank account is that it keeps
you from spending your money
too freely. Nine out of ten peo-
pie know from experience that
when they have money on the
person or handy around the house
it is a dozen times easier to spend
than if it were in some secure
place for the moment out of reach.
Merely having it around is tenn
tation to get rid of it that people
can not often resist. An attrac-
tive window display, a plausible
persuasive agent, or the remark
of some companion may cause
YOU something which pleases you
for the moment but which you
do not need and which you do
not really care for.
Cultivate the habit of putting
your surplus money in the bank
and keeping only enough to meet
your everyday running expen-
SIS. Then instead Of yielding to
every little whim that seizes you,
you will be watching your acc
cunt grow, and will not only
stop spending money for useless
trifes, but will build up some
thing of substantial future ben
eft. Selected.

Mrs. Sarah Griffin.

Mrs. Sarah Griffin, the widow of the
late Alfred Griffin, died suddenly on
the 18th inst. at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. William Garret near Auburn.

short time.
Deceased had reached the ripe old
age of eighty years and for many years
had been a resident of the community
IN which she died.
In early life she became member
of the Cumberland Presbyterian church
and was devout and consecrated mem
ber. Her name was synonym of kind
ness and charity where eyer known
and in her death the community as
we'll as the family, sustained great
loss.
She was buried at Spring Hill cem-
etery Saturday. the funeral services
being conducted by Rev. Gilmore of
the PRESBYTERIAN church.

M leage Regulation Upheld By
Hines.

Upon the request of the Geor-
gia State Railroad Commission,
| Special Attorney James K. Hines
has given an interesting opinion
| in regard to the complaints made
blythe travelling public as to the
exchange Of mileage book cou-
pons for straight tickets at rail-
way agencies. Attorney Hines
holds that thel ailroads' regula-
tion for the presentation and ex-
change of coupons for mileage
! is entirely reasonable.
Attorney Hines was asked by
| the Commission to furnish opin-
ion upon the right of a common
carrier to expel a passenger, who
had failed to- comply with it's
| regulation requiring the ex-
change of mileage coupons for a
ticket.
Attorney Hires says that car
riers of passengers may eject
from their conveyances all per-
sons refusing to comply with
reasonable regulations. He says
that the present mileage book
arrangement is reasonable, be-
cause the purchaser enters into a
contract with the railway COM
pany sellirg the mileage book.
One of the terms Of the contract
| is that coupons from these mile
age books will not be honored on
trains except at non-agency
points or at station agencies not
open for the sale of the tickets.
The purchaser, says Attorney
Hines gets a re duced rate and he
lis bound by the terms of the
special contrs ct. He says in
conclusion that the arrangement
has already been submitted to
and approved by the State Rail-
road Commission. Atlanta Jour-
