Must Garry the Liquors.

muSl NdlAy lhC 1iHaoAS'
The American Express Company was
served with an injunction compelling IL
to accept shipments of intoxicf ting
liquors consigned to persons residing IN
the State of Mississippi when rendered
to it by ferry boats plying between
vicksburg and Delta, La.
The bill of complaint charges that the
American Express Company receives
carries and delivers liquors to conslgnees'
in Mississippi when such liquors are
shipped by dealers in Madison parish,
bv way of the Southern Express Com
panv. which maintains offices in Mad
ison parish and does business over the
vcksburg, Shreveport and Pacific ana
the Alabama Vicksburg Railway Com
panies' lines; but that the American Ex-
press Company refuses to receive such
shipments when rendered to it by fer
ries, steamboats, or any other carrier,
except the Southern Express Company.
The American Express Company has no
office in Madison parish, its nearest Of
flee being at Vicksburg. The bill further

II, as is intimated, it turns out that
the assassination of Prince Ito, the
Japanese statesman, was the result of
q far-reaching plot in Korea, the stu
alton in that country may become
most serious. Reports from Seoul, the
Korean capital, go to show that ia
many of the people the killing of Ito
was mot unpleasing." This attitude
suggests greater hostility to Japan and
representatives of Japanese power
than had been suspected In many
quarters. In fact. there appears to be
dangerous disaffection throughout the
country, and an outbreak would not
be surprising.

gallant heroes of the lost cause, and
widely known throughout the South as
literary man of exceptional attain
ments, died Saturday at the home OF
his son, James G. Hood. The passing.
away of the noted veteran and writer
was not unexpected, for he had been,
in failing health for more than two
years, and rarely left his apartments.
He had attained the ripe ola age OF ~
years, and nearly decade ago was
forced to retire from active business life
on account of his health.

The United States Is not the only
country in which persons crafty their
curiosity or morbid taste by crowding
into courtrooms when sensational
cases are in progress. Even France,
where good taste is presumed to be
strongly in evidence If not predomi-
nant. has fair share of those who
show similar inclinations, the opening
of the Steinheil murder trial in Paris
being an illustration. When $4,000
persons apply for admission to a
courtroom and when 5000 is offered
for a place In line the limit" would
seem to have been reached.

Milsaps College Of Jackson is the sec
ond educational institution in Missis-
sippi to adopt the honor system for the

until he proves himself otherwise; that
no surveillance or espionage will be
maintained by the faculty during exam
nations or over the personal conduct
of students so long as they conduct
themselves in accordance with the rules

Many Aspirants for Iudgeships.

Gov. Noel will make no judicial APP
pointments until after the first of jan
uary, probably after the converting of
the legislative session, January 4. He
has so notified all the applicants for cir
cult judgeships, that they may take
plenty of time in which to get in their
applications and Endorsements.
During the coming session there are
four circuit judges and two chancellors
to be appointed.

I. I. and C. Doing Good Work.

According to the report which Presi-
dent H. L. Whitfield of the Industrial
Institute and College has prepared for
presentation to the legislature, that
splendid institution is undoubtedly at
the top of the column among the public
institutions of Mississippi. Evidently
the Industrial Institute and College is a
state institution in which every citizen
may take a pardonable degree of pride.

Association Caused Crime.

Gov. Noel granted a pardon to Lee
Pharris, young man sent up from Goa
homa County in April, 1909, on two
year sentence for grand larceny. The
pardon is granted on the recommends
ton of the Judge and district attorney

that the crime was the result of bad
company, rather than of bad intentions.

Test Vaccination Laws.

The legal authority of school board
to refuse admission to pupils who have
not been vaccinated will be brought be-
fore the supreme court for decision, and
the outcome of the Litigation will be
awaited with interest throughout the
state, owing to the fact that several
radical orders of this character have re-
Gently been issued by school trustees.

lines running through the winter

This was attributed to the belief
