STORM SWEEPS GREAT LAKES
Many Steamers Afraid to Venture
Against Waves.

Chicago.-Rain and sleet, driven by
a wind which at times registered a We
locity of 48 miles an hour, marked the
storm which has ragged all of Monday
throughout the region of the Great
Lakes. Only a few vessels braved the
gigantic waves which Numbered outside
the Chicago breakwater.
In the morning the government life
saving crews from Evanston and Chi
cago answered an appeal for help from
the crew of the freighter Boston, which,
after battling all night in the storm on
the way from Milwaukee, was thrown
rudderless upon a sand bar near Will
mette. Eight of the crew of eighteen
men elected to leave the vessel which
was fast on the sand, and were taken
by the life savers to shore.
Three steamers, the Puritan, the City
of Benton Harbor and the Missouri, left
the Chicago harbor during the day and
barely escaped serious damage by be-
ing dashed against the piers. Much anx-
iety is felt for vessels known to be out
of reach of safe harbors.

FOR THE GIRL OF TWELVE
Some Holiday Presents That Will Be
Most Pleasing and Appro-
pirate.

Perhaps there Is no more difficult
person in the household for whom to
select a gift than the girl Of about
IL years old. She has outgrown dolls
and such childish delights: she cares
nothing for the dainties that would
please her older sister. yet something
must be found for her. In olden days
sashes made excellent gifts, but now
they are not quite so useful. Why
not replace them by a ribbon for the
hair, with embroidered ends? The
cost would be comparatively little and
the work would be almost nothing.
1t would take a piece of ribbon about
a yard long n about five inches
wide. Cut the ends across and EN-.

and, perhaps, a snail design on the

JACKSON
Political Pot Is Boiling.

That many political pots will be put
to boiling during the approaching legis-
lative session seems to be a foregOne
conclusion. Ambition to hold office is
ever present with many M~ississippians,
and the biennial legislative session at
lords aspirants exceptional opportunities
to launch their booms, form alliances
and outline plans for the construction of
political fences with which they hope
to hold their antagonists in check.
Already the woods are full of candidates,
actual and prospective, for the various
state Offices, although the next election
viii not be held until 1911, and formal
campaign openings are not due until six
or eight months in advance of the
election date. Interest, of course, cen
ters chiefly in the governorship, and the
chief element of speculation on this con-
test is whether it will be more than a
twO-entry affair. Hon. Charles Scott,
of Bolivar, and Hon. Earl Brewer, of
Coahoma, who made close finishes in the
last campaign, are avOwed aspirants for
1910. There seems to be a growing be-
lief in political circles that these two
citizens will have the fight
all to themselves; that while many 9TH
ers nave been mentioned, there is little
likelihood that they will qualify for the
start. A similar opinion prevails in re-
gard to the senatorial race. Ex-Gov.
J.. X. Vardaman and Senator A. j. Nc
Laurin have not only announced them
selves for the place, but they have been
engaged in some very effective campaign
work during the past year, and in a
sense it can be said that this fight is now
actually on.

HAPPINESS IN ONES WORK
Only in Proper Employment Can
There Be Found the Real JOY
Of Life.

The joy Of life is the joy of work
we'll done. Husbands love their wives,
but, oh, their work! Wives, notable
for housekeeping, for wise mother
hood, for the particular kind Of social
helpfulness in which women so shinR
burn incense of affection to their
lords, yet have constant delight in
their duties.
Many fortunate men fall into work
from the start which gets the warmth
of their heart as much as their
strength and muscle and activity Of
brain. But there are far too many
who snatch at any employment and
find themselves condemned to 1t.
They sweat and groan and so add to
their unhappiness. They butt their
heads against stone walls and then
wonder at the bruises.
Let's preach a bit. If the work is
not to ones first liking try to make
it so. Complaining will do no good;
sulking embitters. Put the best that's
in you in the job, and it's dollars to
doughnuts hat the job will pay you
back. 1t will grow easier and more
agreeable. In tim9 a genuine liking
for it may be developed. And then
will come the best of happiness.

The amendment will revolutionize road
building in the state. Through the
amendment the state and its credit is

improved roads, the commonwealth

Guard Against Weevil.

The farmers in Mississippi's boil wee
vii district have shown a gratifying
pTomptness in following the advice of
the special agents of the United States
department of agriculture in making
preparations for next seasons crop. Es-
pecially is this true in regard to the
widely published suggestion that all cot
ton stalks be burned prior to the 18th
of November. It is stated by the agri-
cultural experts that fully 90 per cent.
of the farmers in the southwestern coun-
ties, where the weevil has made its APP
pearance, have burned their stalks, do
ing the work thoroughly, and thus min
imizing prospects of ravages by the boil
weevil during the coming crop year.

Pardoned for Shooting Man.

Albert Williams has been pardoned by
Gov. Noel. Williams had killed two men
in Yazoo county at about the same time.
lie was tried and served a three years
sentence for manslaughter. Then he
was taken back and tried for killing
the other man, this time drawing a life
sentence. Altogether he has served in
jail and in the penitentiary nearly
twenty years. Not long ago, when a
fellow-prisoner tried to escape, he was
shot by Williams in the arm, which
stopped his flight, and this was made
the basis of the recommendation to the
governor by the prison board, which,
after being once declined by the gov
ernor, he finally decided to grant.

1t is not denied that the woman broke

question, but the petitioners state that
the crime was justified by the circum-
stances.

All Counties Represented.

1t has been stated that the pardon by
the governor of Ross Helmer left Wilkin-
son county without representation in the
penitentiary. This was erroneous. Hell
mer was the only white man in the
penitentiary from Wilkinson, but an in
v~estigation shows that there are six
teen negroes from that county doing
service for the state. The same line of
investigation developed the fact that
every county in the state is represented
and that the smallest number from any
county Is two.

Georgia's New Color Line.
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
In an Associated Press dispatch
from Atlanta, referring to a confer
ence over the unsettled points in the
issue between the Georgia Railroad
and the employees, we find this ex-
planation:
"There are several reasons why
the Georgia railroad is considered a
home institution. 1t employs Geor-
gia men only. It's firemen and engi-
neers and conductors and even it's
| brakemen are all natives of towns
| and villages through which it's trains
run. These men have intermarried
until nearly whole communities are
related. One engineer told Commits
siOner Neill that there was not town
on his run between Atlanta and
Augusta in which he did not have
blood relatives. Many OF the men
come from highly respected families
and the idea of working with a negro
is abhOrrent to them. 1t is repulsive
to their relatives, too, and to this
feeling is attributed the strong
stand taken by entire communities
| against the railrOad.'
| We are not prepared to say whether
this is the reason for the differences
given by the railroad men, but we are
prepared to declare and to prove such
alleged "reason" to be tommyrot.
If that sentiment" has developed
along the line of the Georgia road, it
has been manufactured. 1t is not
normal, either in Georgia or in the
South. A fireman is regarded as the
engineers helper, the engineer man,
and in the South, where white man
prefers "bossing' a negro than one
OF his own color, there is, or there
certainly was, a preference by white
engineers for negro firemen.
The engineers on the Georgia road
may belong to ''highly respected
families" but there are many other
engineers equally we'll born whose
families are not "hOrrifed" "at the
idea" of their working with a ne
gro" In thousands of private and
incorporation blacksmith shops and
foundries in the South white men
have negro helpers in relations just
as close as that between engineer and
fireman. The white farmer daily
drives his wagon with a negro helper
to hel p load and unload. And neither
the white mechanic, the white farm
er, nor the engineers on other rail-
roads of the South are "horrifed" at
"the idea OF working with a negro. -
But then, of course, these are
just plain, honest, Southern men;
they do not belong to sensitive "F.
F. Gs." from which the ''high-toned'
we believe they call it that-Geor.
gia railroad draws its aristocratic
engineers.
