DID YOU CONTRIBUTE !?

The press dispatches announce that
Il. w. Sears, of Sears, Roebuck C Co..,
of Chicago, has retired with a fortune
OF 81, 100000, after having been in bus
mess for seventeen years. How much
have been the entire profits of this con-
Germ when one member gets $50, ZOO, ,OCO.
How much of this money has gone from
Mississippi? Gone never to return.
Who are to blame for this enormous a :
mount of money that goes to the big
mail order houses? The people who
send? To a certain extent they are, OF
course. but the local merchant is more
to blame than they who send the mon :
ey. The mail order houses spend hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in adver-
tising, putting their goods before the
people and dieting them know what they
have, while the local merchant 81 is in
his store and expects the people to come
and inquire and find out what he's OF.
The result is the building up of these
great fortunes by the owners of the ad-
vertising houses.

Clerks Pay for Copying Laad Assessments.

Assistant Attorney General General
Butler, State of Mississippi, has issued
an official opinion to Copiah county in
which he interprets the code section re-
lating to the pay of chaneery clerks for
making copies of land rolls. The inqui-
ry was as to whether the clerk is entitl-
ed to two cents fol- each separate entry
in cases where several parcels of land is
assessed to the same owner He holds
that in effect the assessment is against
the land, rather than against the indi-
vidual who owns it, and that therefore
each separate entry is a separate assess
ment. 1t follows as matter of course
that the clerk may be paid maximum
OF two cents for each entry, regardless
OF whether several entries may be
against the same owner. The code pro-
vision. allows the boards of supervisors
to pay reasonable compensation, not to
exceed two cents for each separate as
sessment OF lands per copy.

Col. II. M. Street, Speaker OF the
House of Representatives, spoken of as
a possible candidate for Governor in
the next contest in Mississippi, has an :
nounced that he will not enter the race.
While he is still active, he will be 70
years OF age when the next Governor of
Mississippi is inaugurated and, for that
reason, will not enter the contest. even
II ne had no other reasons. President
Geo. Il. Hightower of the Farmers
Union says he does not expect to enter
the contest, so in 1911 the chances are
that the race for Governor will be prae-
tically between Hon. Charles Scott. of
Bolivar, and Hon. Earl Brewer, of Goa
homa. Others may enter the race, but
the signs point to these two men as the
leading candidates,

love existed, that happiness unalloye'
was most supreme; that home-"Ther
is no place like home"-was as the Gar
den of Eden, and perpetually SO: tina
heart-mates, marital-Vow heroes coult
ever exclaim, with Shakespeare: il
truth:
"She is mine own,
And am rich in having such jewel
! AS twenty seas if all their sands were

The waters nectar, and the rocks pure

For Dan Cupid would never have
caught them in the golden, silken
mesheS of the Gordian knot at Hymen's s
altar, had there just here not BEEN
"Two souls with but single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one."
And each ever feeling, deeply feeling,
and truly knowing, while together, or
apart:
Thou hast come to me
AS the blossom comes to blighted tree!
But tempests seem to arise on the
matrimonial sea, and, occasionally, the
barque of conjugal bliss is wrecked,
lured upon the rocks by the seductive
strains of the SIRENS songs, and that,
too, regardless of the late DR.. T. De-
Witt Talmage's advice:
"The kindest and happiest pair,
Will find occasion to forbear;
And something, each day they live,
To pity, and, perhaps, forgive"
Yet. as an optimist. though the dark
clouds hover, the breakers come, the
storm god rage. as long as there is life,
we may say there is hope, and for all
who are undaunted; for "failure comes
only from Within. "Hope springs
eternal in the human heart" There is,
indeed, Individual and sustaining hope
to the optimist, and to those of Chris
tian faith and fortitude. And who shall
deny that even divorces, however much |
to be regretted, may, at times, be an
unvarnished duty? When |
duty, stern-browed, calls, we must obey. |

MUCH BUSINESS IS
BEING SLATED FOR
Next Session Of Mississippi Legislature - A List
of Some of Some Subjects Proposed-Some
Suggestions Wise, Some Otherwise - An In
tere.tng Array of New Business.

been suggested for consideration at the
approaching session of the Legislature.
Authorization OF constitutional con-
vention for a complete revision OF the

Reform of the jury system, allowing a
majority of the members to return ver-
diets in civil cases, juries to be orally

forms in qualifications for members.
Establishment of State normal and
training school for teachers, to cost not
less than 100000.
Establishment of State charity hos
pital in Jackson.
More liberal support by the State for

A goodly number of these su bjects
will not come to final vote in case the

Gas music and splendor

Gov. Weeks veto of the Sunday bill is upon the ground that if the meas ure's purpose is to liberalize the law it sha<ld have been made more speci- fic and ifs permits and limitations more clearly defined. He objects to the provision which excepts sport ol work, except such as shall be required for the preservation or promotion Of health and safety, or is necessary for the general welfare of the community Such language is capable of sundry interpretations. For instance, 1t might be held that baseball on Sunday, in volving outdoor exercise, is needed to promote the health of men and boys confined in factories for six days of each week: on the other hand. the advocates of the Puritan Sunday might assert that complete physical rest would better promote the health of factory employees. The contradic- tory interpretations would go to the courts which would thus be confronted by genuine puzzles.
 We are inclined to agree with Gov Weeks that the bill should have been more specific and less inviting of Hti- gation.

RECTOR PERMITS
 SUNDAY BATHROOMS

Atlantic City, N.-J., Aug. 1.-The Rev Sydney Goodman, rector of the out openly and say that we should have Sunday baseball or allow the sa- looms to open on the Sabbath. but if Commodore Kuehnle thinks they are the. best thing for the resort his judg- mentr should certainly be considered. . "B- believe that in allowing the sa- loonsy to open the management of the resort is following the best plan it knows. Atlantic City is different from other towns. People come here on Sum- day for pleasure and there must be a difference in it's management from that of their own cities and towns.''
 C0mmodore Louis Kuehnle is the Republican boss of the town
 Questioned as to whether he will side, with other ministers in their ef- fort to close up the resort on Sum- day, the Rev Mr. Goodman said that he had no such intention. 'They wouldn't have me in their ranks,'' he said: They would probably, kick me out.'
 Pastors of other churches who make up the heads of the Lords Day Ali attack on the Rev. MT. Goodman. whose new ideas, including smoking and vaudeville in churches, rallied thousands of men to his support. Church of the Ascension, of which he is assistant rector condemned his methods and forced him to stop giv- ing away pipes and tobacco at Sum- day night meetings of the Mems Church.
 Any man in the ministry who is willing to allow Kuehnle or any other man to dictate the morals of a great city is fool, in my opinion" said the Rev. Birney Hudson, one of the lead CTS in the reform movement.
 Other ministers of the Lords Day Alliance asserted their belief that the Rev MT. Goodman had been mis- quoted, and when assured that this was not so they declared that they would allow his stand to make no diff ference in their intended attack on Suncay saloons and baseball and on the administration which they accuse of fostering them
 The Rev. MT. Goodman announces that he has secured permission from his diocese to go on with his work among men in the new building to be erected on land secured on North Ohio avenue.
 Men of my church are to be al- lowed to worship as they please" he said. eff they want to smoke dur ing sermons in the new building they will be allowed to do so.''
