wolves who had long paraded
in sleeps clothing. Naturally,
the result was like an electric
shock, and there was q stenuous
effort made to keep the whole af-
fair out of the papers. But, let
it be said to the credit of the
Evening Record of that city, this
effort utterly failed.
Coming nearer home, the ques-
ton arises: Is Claiborne county
free of this common crime? If
not, isn't there likely to be a
reckoning in the near future
about the time the June grand
jury convenes? There has been
ample warming; past work gives
an insight to the future, and if
the guilty have not mended their
ways there may be some unpleas.

decks, eight seven inch guns in the main
deck, six three-pounders, six thirty-cali-
Der automatics, twelve three-inch rapid
fire, two torpedo tubes in the bow below
the water line and fifteen mines in the
store room.
Besides these, there is range-fnding
tower which stands aft l25 feet from the
water line and 80 feet measuring in height
from the bridge deck. She has twelve
inch steel plates amidships, which taper
down by gradual thicknesses until min
imum of four-inch plates are found on
the bow and stern. The Mississippi is
