PUBLIC PRINTER
Being OVERPAID.
State Gets Back Over $1,450
Wrongfully Collected.
State Examiner Finds That Too
Much Money Was Paid
for Record Books.

More Democratic canelessness, IL not
criminaltty, has been uncovered by
State Inspector and Examiner H. NJ.
Thatcher, and as a result $1,450 has
been returned TO The depleted State
Treasury, and a chin Of over $500
against tie Stnte has been Withdrawn
and cance,ed.
These items became q part OF the
executive records recently when Mr..
Thatcher filed with Gov. Wilson his
report Of an Investigation Of the print
ing accounts paid by the State 10
James E. Hughes, OF Lexington, for
merly Public Printer for secooG-clsss
printing covering the period from July
/, 1906 TO January /, 1909.
The investigator which covered
several weeks shows up Mr Hughes
Ia an unenviable Light as Public Print
er and he admits that the whole sys-
tenn Of pubic printing at beast SO far
as the second-class printing is concern
ed has been conducted in the loosest
manner possible. Mr.. Thatcher claims
that Hughes is largely responsible CoT
this condition.
The investigation further shows up
the marked incompeeercy OF ]. w.
Hsdden, Sbate Superintendent Of Pub
Ec Printing. and places him in po-
sition CT embarrassment which he will
find 1t hard TO wriggle cut Of accord
ing to members of the State Board of
Printing Commissioners
Sgd another member Of tie Com
mission: III ever there was cause 10
seperaGe a public officer from his du-
ties we have It in the onse Of J w.
HeGden."
NIT. Huges made his overcharges 10
the State for record books, which are
ordered and used by Circuit and Coua-
ty Clerks over the State, ad Mr..
Thatcher has found that Hughes
charged for greater number OF pages
in these books than were actually
furnished also for books which the
Clerks claim they did not order or re-
ceiye, aud for innumeable extas in
the way Of binding and ruling.
Hughes contract with the State was
up on July 1 Last. but by agreement
with the Board Of Printing Cammis-
sioners he contiued under the terms
Of his original contract until Januay
!, wien bids were taken for new
contract for two years and another
firm became the contractor for such
work.
Inspector Thatcher he's found that
these improper charges against the
State appeer to have run throughout

The Rural Routes.

The rural, free delivery system
is without question the create st
boon ever granted to the farmers
by the general government. 1t
brings them in touch with the
world by placing them in direct
and daily communication with it's
great centers; it brings books,
magazines and newspapers to
their doors and does away with
the former state of isolation that
made farm life so Objectionable.
We have a number of rural
routes in this county, five from
luka alone, and to deprive the peo-
pie of these routes would be great
calamity. The postoffice depart
ment requires certain things of the
patrons of these routes. If they
will perform these duties, which
are not burdensome, there will be
no danger of their routes being
discontinued. In the first place,
they must keep the roads in good
condition. This will require lit
tie work. Our people are indus
trious, but many of them hate to
do road work; still the roads must
be kept in good condition or there
is danger of losing your route.
In the second place, in putting up
your mail boxes fasten them Sc
chrely to firm upright posts by the
side of the road, easy of access
and of the right height to be op-
ened and closed by the carrier
without dismounting. Do not
fasten them to trees, fences or
telegraph poles. We copy these
requirements from circular is
sued by the postoffice department.
Act promptly upon them and there
by insure the continuance of your
rural routes.

Ruins OF Eastport.

Perched GU an elevation lin the
fork of Bear Greek and the Ten
nessee river, and COZ handing
beautiful view of the uninterrupted
shoals in the distance where the
silver sheen of water is reflected
of clear day in dazzling brillian-
cy, was the town of Eastport, once
the emporium of Northeast MISS
sippi. A person familiar with the
history of the place cannot but feel
sad to wander over the site of the
once fiourishing town and see the
almost utter desolation that now
holds sway. Scarcely vestige of
the old town remains. A few scat
tering cabins and an old dilapidat-
ed watermiil remain in the sub
urbs, but of the business part of
the town, which contained about
20 stores once, there is nothing
left but few brick bats. The
plowshare has torn up the ground
where the main street once ran
preparations are made to plant
cotton where once the busy tide of
traffic and commerce ebbed and
flowed. A beautiful road runs
from Iuka to Eastport. Along
this road in the fifties an almost
continuous stream of wagons
flowed during the cotton season,
carrying in the heecy staple and
bringing back the necessaries of
life. Now, in travelling that road,
you seldom meet more than two
or three vehicles.

To The Teachers.

The result of the April exam
nations has surprised and to some
extent mortified me. Have the
teachers ceased to be progressive
and have they ceased to study?
If so it is time t O turn over new
leaf. Those who go to the top in
any profession work, work, work.
1t is the keynote to success. Do
not grumble and find fault with
the board of examiners but deter
mine that next time Il will sue
eed." When you intend to go into
another examination give the sub
jectfor examination close, careful
study for time before hand and
you will be surprised to see how
much easier it will all be.

The Cotton Market.

Cotton continues to rise on ac-
count of the Texas drouth. Ev-
eryday that passes without mois-
ture being shed on the fertile
plains of the lone star state adds
to the price of spot cotton. Cot
ton was sold here yesterday at 10
and 1O% cents. The latter price
was for a long staple bale raised
by Messrs Drake and Williams.
There seems but little prospect of
rain in the west and things are
beginning to look serious. How
ever, copious rains may fall soon
and if they should the whole stu
alton will be instantly changed.

They Are Waking Up.

The papers all over the coun-
try are waking up to the fact that,
while they slept, a cunningly de-
vised web was woven around de-
PENDANTS in criminal cases that
makes them practically immune
against all efforts to bring them
to punishment for crime. A
strong cord in this web is the Jury
system that. in some states, for
bids man setting on jury who
has read newspaper version of
the crime for which the man is
,arraigned, thus practically barring
all the intelligent and most COM
petent citizens from serving on
any jury, whe re the crime COM
mitted has been discussed in the
papers. as all bad crimes are.
Then, if after all the man should
perchance be convicted, there
comes the appeal, the hairsplit-
ting of technicalities of the SUI
preme court and finally to cap the
climax, the Governor with his lit
tile pardon who knocks the whole
thing into pi. No wonder blood
letting is on the increase.

County Superintendent v. R.
James, of Grenada county, write S
a letter to the Sentinel in answer
to an editorial calling for the res
direction of the old Blue Back
Speller. Supt. JaE.es says that
the spelling books now In use in
our pubic schools are all right;
that the reason students now are
so deficient in spelling is because
the study of that branch is neg
lected by most teachers, who deem
such an accomplishment as being
a good speller savors too much of
odd field school Methods" and
therefore ignores it to great ex-
tent.

The Real Lincoln.

We have received prospectus
of a book with the above title that
processes to tell what kind of a
man Abe Lincoln really was. We
have long know that Lincoln S
faults were CLOSED over by par
tial and sectional writer's. That
he had many and grievous blem-
ishes on his life and character no
impartial student of history can
deny. He had elements of great
ness, too, and these should not be
overlooked. The lives of all prom
inent people should be looked in
to impartially, but the disposition
to hero worship is strong, almost
inherent, in the human family
and this leads to attempts to ideal
ize and claim projections that their
heroes do not possess. The book
alluded to only lets the light shine
in on the imperfections of Lin
coins life and character. but his
friends resent this bitterly and are
trying to suppress the book. The
truth will survive all such efforts
at suppression.
