Disagreed Over The slop

Columbia, Miss, Nov. II.
Another divorce was gaanted to
Jack Rodgers Of Goss, Miss,
who after living with his wife
forty years and raising a house
full of children until they were
men and women. separated from
his spouse and sued for a di-
yorce. Uncle" Jack owned a
fine hog anl his wife a Jersey
|cow, and the question arose
which should have the siop The
question couldn't be settled by a
fireside discussion or by arbi-
tration, 50 Uncle" Jack made
the first move Of hostility by
se;zlng the slop and appropriat-
ing it to the use of the innocent
swine.
This act caused his wife to
sever her connections with him
as his life companion.
The house was speedily divided
by partition and the property
was equally shared, the husband
occupying one side of the dwell
ing and the wife the other.
But it is said that "tlle mouse
divided against itself will fall"
and after seeing each other daily |
and never speaking they broke |
up living in the same house and |
today found Uncle" Jack, a
gray-haired man Of some seventy
Years, before Judge Woods suing
for a divorce.
The hog has long since been |
made into lard and. sausage. The
Jersey still comes up every even
ing to be relieved Of her milk,
but a gray-haired man and
woman are free to play the
matrimonial game once more if
they so desire.

A Good Road.

A good country road is always
to be desired and is a source Of
comfort and convenience to every
traveller. Good roads attract
population as well as good schools
and churches. Good roads i'm
prove the value of the property,
so that it is said that a farm ly
ing two miles from the market
connected by bad road is of less
value than an equally good farm
lying ten miles from the market
connected by a good road, a
larger load can be drawn by one
horse over a good road than by
two over a bad one. Good roads
encourage the greater exchange
of products and commodities be-
tween one section and another.

dorsement to the plan, setting
forth, in an authorized interview
the arguments in its favor. There
is no need here to recapitulate
those arguments. They are
much like those which impelled
the people Of Louisiana and the
legislature to exempt mortgage
loans from taxation. Both Lou
sianians and Mississippians are
familiar with them, and both
may Judge by the results in this
state, where some millions of
outside capital have found invest
ment at reasonable interest rates
since the repeal Of the mortgage
tax, how the theory works out
in practice. AS a state in need
of capital for development, Miss
issippi should be vitally interest
ed in any plan which promises
increase Of the working capital
of her people and encourages re-
ductions of interest rates.
Whether the old opposition may
be overcome all at once, and the
legislature induced at the ap-
preaching session to enact the
necessary legislation, is not yet
clear. for the proposition is still
opposed in some. quarters. But
it is evident that the favorable
sentiment has developed rapidly
of late, and the issue, if the gov
ernor authorizes it's consideration
at the coming short session will
not lack a strong and militan.

A STRONG MAN DOWN.

Edward H. Hartman, head Of the
greatest railway system on earth, is
dead. The minute of his death was
waited for by the financial world
with bated breath. Not because the
flnanciers felt so much solicitude FOR
the great mans personal welfare, but
because he was a strong factor in the
financial and industrial circles and his
death was Of consequence accordingly.
While Hartman lay upon his death
bed writhing with fever Wall street
was not hushed in respectful silence.
On the contrary his foes were taking
advantage Of his illness to raid his
stocks and his friends were busy re-
sisting the terrific Bear" movement
that was underway.
At this time the world is not think
ing so much amout Harriman-he
Is gone-but about the effect Of his
death upon business. Will the anti
Hartman people succeed in tearing
down the elaborate system that he
with his genius reared, or is the sys-
tenn so arranged that 1t will stand the
storm in safety even though the build
er is no more? These are questions
the future will answer.
But that anything like financial
panic will result from Harriman's
death seems wholly improbable. Well
informed men knew long ago that
Harrimans days were limited and his
death was prepared for. True the
Hartman stocks may be borne down.
ward. They may be "beared" by men
who hope to get in and acquire his
holdings at a low figure. There is
none Of the milk Of human kindness
in the stock market.
But Harriman's railroads are in the
west. They are making money and
since they are in a country that Is
developing rapidly those who hold
stocks should not suffer.
During his lifetime Hartman was
more than a match for his fellow fl
nanciers. He was far sighted, bold
and able. Few OF his foes could fight
him successfully. They may not be
able to do so even though he is dead.
But death was an antagonist that
even Hartman could not defeat. In
spite Of his millions and in spite OF
his great Industrial army the Grim
Reaper took him even as he would
take away the most humble employe.
However, before he left, Hartman

LULLABY.

Fit away to Sleepy-Town,
Princess Curley-Head;
Dressed in dainty, snowy gown,
In your little bed
Go and chase the butterflies
In the land of dreams;
Find the happy light that lies
In its sparkling streams.
Learn to laugh as fairies do,
With the magic thrill
That draws our hearts so close to- you
And binds us to your win,
Catch the gladness floating there;
Bring to our tired lives
A breath of that pure land, so rare,
That joy alone survives.
Ponder all the wondrous lore
No sage could ever teach;
Gather up the precious store
So far beyond our reach
And in that enchanted place,
l pray you, Princess wee,
Learn to keep the winsome grace
Now so dear to me.

MEET THEM HALF WAY.

In a news story yesterday the Ore
gonian predicted that Oregon would
not go dry" year from this time.
It was estimated the "wet" majority
in the state is too heavy to be over
come.
But If the people Of the state are
compelled to take their choice between
the saloon business as it is now con-
Quoted in Portland and other wet"
towns and prohibition they are liable
to take prohibition. They do not like
the saloon system as it exists and IL
the situation is not remedied they will
hit it hard" just as they did in this
county a year ago.
The people who do not believe pro-
hibition is advisable should not stand
by the saloon business as it is. They
should meet the reformers half way
by proposing a law that will make
the saloon business legitimate busi-
ness yet keep it under absolute con-
troll. The law now in operation in
Iowa should apply well in Oregon. Il
is probable that the saloon element
throughout the state would not ap-
prove Of such a bill. Such a law as
the Iowa law would probably cut
their business in two. Under the op-
Grafton Of the Iowa law Pendleton
would have even less saloons than It
now has under prohibition.
But II the right thing is done the
business interests Of Oregon, exclus-
i've Of the liquor line, will prepare a
bill without consulting the liquor in
terests. A law should be prepared by
men of sound common sense who have
nothing at heart but the best interests
Of the state. 1t is a mistake to leave
the drafting Of liquor laws to either
saloonmen or prohibitionlsts.

y MANS BEST COMPANY.

Men of imagination love solitude
and they are never less alone than
when alone. Their teeming thoughts
and pleasing fancies are delightful
company and their day dreams the
sweetest comrades. In a passage on
walking the New York Evening Post
says:
"He who uses his legs is thereby en-
abled to use his eyes. Nature in all
needs is the companion of him who
walks. A network of sun and shad-
ow or a maze Of muddy pools lies be-
fore his feet. His cheek feels the
impact of gindly breezes or harsher
rain. The bend in the road lures him
onward and fills him with peaceful
conjecture. A pleasant comrade at his
side seems not amiss to most, though
Hazlitt and Stevenson cast their
voices against it. declaring that the
full flavor of a walking tour is best
gained by solitude. Stevenson better
analyzes moods, but Hazlitt is the
more lyric. He was among the first
of Anglo-SaXon blood to sing the open
road
But to get the best results from
walking let "a pleasant comrade" go
the other way. Reverie is a game of
solitaire, with one player and no
more.
The late Tom Reed, as long as he
was in congress-twenty years-al-
ways walked to the capitol from his
home. unless the weather was the
surliest, and he went alone. Woe to
the friend who sought to accompany
that eXtraordiDSry man. He was
frozen by opefation of a reserve on
the part of the big 'un that caused
him to take up or down when they
reached the next crossing. And yet
never was there a more genial, COM
panionable, glorious good fellow than
Tom Reed when in the mood; but he
would have that morning walk from
his home to the capitol to himself
John James ingalls, was another
famous man who loved to walk alone,
and would not have companion. 1t
was impossible for either Reed or In
gals to be what coarse-grained men
call lonesome" Their thoughts and
fancies made brilliant company that
a companion would have vanished.
L. Q. C. Lamar had this sort Of en-
dowment in even more extravagant
degree than either Reed or ingalls,.
Half his waking moments were spent
in introspections that turned to day
dreams
Such men are to be envied. They
are of the cradle, not the coffin

HOT SHOT FOR CoNKLIN.

Assemblyman Conklln Of New York
came out west to learn something
about the direct primary and he has
been getting his" Conklin found that
he does not stand we'll in good society
and that many honest men do not care
rap whether or not the direct pri-
mary pleases him and others of his
class.
The Chicago Record Herald Gre
Ipublican) says Mr.. Conklin has been
gathering misinformation chiefly,
that he is a "spoils bigot" and that
what. he says is grotesquely false
and that in it there "is not even a pale
reflection of the truth" This fellow
Conklin told the New York people
that there was political anarchy"
in the middle west on account of d.
dect nomintion; there were no more
any party organizations, big" men
were sick Of the law, etc. But the
Chicago paper says Conhlin's story is
"a transparent, shameless fraud; It
was based solely on the evidence Of
"disgruntled spoilsmen and cheap lit
tie bosses; and the evidence of strong
capable, truthful witnesses was en-
tirely disregarded; and that "tne
weight of impartial and judicious tes-
timony was on the side of direct nom
nations"
The New York American comments
sarcastically on Conklin's report Of
political anarchy and chaos" in part
az follows: But why this wild appeal
Of the western politicians TO save the
country from direct nominations?
What harm has it done to the west?
Let Conklin tell: Direct nominations
have driven political parties out of
existence. Party organizations
are plumb shot to pieces So this Is
the monstrous evil wrought by direct
nominations. The politician has lost
his job. The machine has slipped its
lesh Of control. The party boss has
no longer the terror of compulsion In
his.lash. The people are in charge Of
their own affairs. Terrible condition
indeed! What is left for Woodruff
and Barnes? What is to become OF
Platt and Odell? What outlook is
there for Fingy Connors and Muir
ply? The blow will almost kill
Tammany. q" We are glad you
went west, Statesman Conklin. Go
again. Bring another message like
this. The people are ready for the
issue"
Assemblyman Conklin has erred
much as Ormsby McHarg erred last
winter. He imagined people would
listen eagerly to what he, as a rep
resentative Of the political world,
would say But they have not listen
ed to him even with respectful con-
sideration. They have regarded him
as a type of a rather undesirable
element" and have not concealed their
feelings.
