THE MISSISSIPPI STATE SCANDAL.

The Legislature bribery case at the
Mississippi state capital may be a
most fragrant case of political crime
and corruption. That remains yet
to be developed, but the depraved
and shameful scandal which seems
to be connected with the case is a
hideous disgrace to the great state
whose lawmakers are charged with
employing women of questionable
reputation as their agents and a
house of evil resort as a place where
some of their nefarious negotiations
were carried on.
The entire affair has become so
malodorous that it is impossible to
print all the alleged collateral de.
velopments, whose scandalous feat
ures take up so much of the time of
the Investigators. One thing is
certain, however. and that is, if the
real facts be not made public and
the guilty parties, if any there be,
are not punished, a dark stain will
long remain on the escutcheon of a
Southern State, famed in the
national history as the mother of
grand and most honorable men,
New Orleans Picayune.

Discussing the Bilbo charge, the
Natchez Democrat says that political
history will not present a similar
case in which a dyed-in the-wool
hanger on failed to make every play
in his power to land the coveted
prize for his principal. Giving the
fullest measure of credence to Bilbo's
story, the Vardaman followers ought
to feel like lynching him for failure
to expose Delaney before the sena,
torial contest was finished, thus
making certain the election of Var
daman. So desperate are their
straits, however, that some Of them
are willing to commit perjury and
'damH their souls forever BY bolster
ing up his ridiculous story.

tNPRfCEOfNIO ACTIVITY
IN CONGRESS HEIGHTS.
Owners Never Predicted Such GrOwtl
as Is now Seen In This Addition.

1t Is a matter of pride to both the
owners of Congress Heights and
their salaried salesman, Mr.. Lee
Arterbury, when they note what
unprecedented growth is now beng
enjoyed by their addition. The life
OF this addition has been short, yet
1t looms up now as the best and the
fastest growing addition in the
fastest growing city in the State.
Congress Heights is now recog-
nized by all Greenwood and L fore
County citizens, who are we'll in
formed as to its property adj scent
thereto, as being the most desirable
residence portion of Greenwood.
The homeseeker has begun to realize
this and their demands for lots in
this famed addition are made daily
to the salesman, who finds it a pleas
ure to sell the handsome residence
dence lots to be found in this part
OF Greenwood. Many of the best
posted citizens in the city and
county, as to the advantages offered
by the additions to this city and
as to all residence property in the
city have secured home sites in this
addition and have begun the cree.
ton of homes.
1t comes as a source of gratifica-
ton to the salesman to drive you.
through this additian which is high
and we'll drained, and to let you
feast your eyes on home sites that
are really locations for the home
seeker.
If you will only stroll out to Con
gress Heights you will find hun
dreds of people who daily walk to
this addition to note the steady
growth of this portion of the city.
Last Sunday at least five hundred
pedestrians whiled away their after
Moons by viewing the best addition
in Greenwood and whetted their ap-
petites to buy a home site or invest
their money in Congress Heights.
The salesman of this addition, who
finds that the supply of their lots is
insufficient to meet the demands,
wishes to thank the great number Of
people who have evidenced so much
interest in Congress Heights, and
have taken time to look over this
property and compare it with other
additions in the city and state. 1t
is only a matter of a short time be.
fore every lot in the addition will be
disposed of, and this section of the
city will enjoy still unprecedented
growth and increase in value.
Get in with the procession; follow
the investor and homeseeker to Con-
gress Heights and place your money
where it will yield the largest re-
turns. Get a home, and get it in
Congress Heights, the fastest grow.
ing addition in the grandest and
fastest growing city in the best state
in the Union.

10 ADJOURN SAIURDAY.

In spite of the fact that the House
has once more declined to adopt a
resolution7to adjourn on Saturday
next, the belief is very general that
it will have to quit on that day, the
extent of the continuance last
granted by the Governor of the
State.
It is possible that a good many
bills will be left unfinished, but the
chances are that they are of no
material importance, and that they
would be just as well left unpassed
as not.
The Legislature would have been
ready to adjourn last week but for
the Investigations that have been
under way, and these Investigations
being near the finish now, there is
no reason the lawmakers should not
get away from Jackson next Satur-
day at the latest.
Most of the revenue and appro-
priation bills have been disposed of
and very little of real Importance
remains for the Legislature to act
on. Those matters that have not
been attended to may go yer to the
next session without any friction
anywhere. It is possible that a few
billie of a personal nature remain to
be developed into law, but they are
of a small Importance, and the State
will not suffer whether they are
passed or not. Injustice may be
done some of the employees of the
State, because of the failure of the
passage of bills for their relief, but
the chances are that no serious
damage will be done because of their
failure.
Numerous local and private bills
wilt be left unattended to, but they
are hardly worth mention, as scores
have been passed that cut no figure
in the general roundup.
It is always the case that many
bills are left unfinished, and no
doubt the same will be true of this
session, one of the most interesting
that was held in the State of Missis-
sippi.
The House has refused to set the
day for adjournment and those who
voted against the resolution are
among the most patriotic in that
body. They appreciate the fact that
important Legislation may come up
between now and Saturday and
which might not be concluded in
time for a specified adjournment

GREENWOOD'S WAY
OF DOING THINGS.
A Record for Pr0mptness and Speed
Id Delivery of Orders.

While passing by the express Office
the other afternoon VIC picked up a
little item of interest that certainly is
a booster for u way Of doing things.
Greenwood always does the right thing
in the right wey at the most appropriate
time; that's her slogan.
We were informed by cashier Prosser,
of he American Express Company, of
the shipment of millinery made to this
city from a house in st. Mr.. Prosser
INFORMS us that Miss chance, the tasty
miIliner who reigns with her fashions at
Fountains Big Busy Store, left for ST.
Louis Saturday night, arriving there
when the market opened Monday morn
ing. An unusually large order for mid
summer styles of millinery was placed,
Grated and made ready for immediate
shipment, coming to Greenwood on the
same train with Miss chance. The ex-
press company is to be congratulated
for it's promptness and speed in the de-
livery Of this order aud it seems to be a
known thing that goods consigned to
Greenwood always receive the best
service.
Mr.. Prosser informed the reporter that
the shipment made to Fountains Big
Busy Store was the largest ever re-
ceived in Greenwood. The shipment
vas SO large that upon it's arrival at
Grenada for transfer to the Y s. v,
that the shipment had to be divided into
two shipments inc brought to Green
wood on two different trains. The first
express cal was overpacked with crates
of millinery, and the second shipment
contained the largest crate for this big
busy store.
Greenwood is proud to own . store
that orders goods in such Wholesale
quantities, which assures their clientele
Of low prices and satisfaction. We also
appreciate the good service that the,
American Express company afoads its
in this section.

ALACk OF N1tRfs1.

a
We were forced to note a lack of
interest last week which seems to
closely approximate neglect. Up
to the last day allowed by the City
democratic executive committee for
candidates to enter their names
upon the election tickets for the
general election ordered by them,
not a candidate for alderman had
appeared on the arena. No one
seemed willing to accept these
honored positions. Several were
called upon and solicited to enter
the race, but their personal interests
were too great an Offset to partici
pate in the government of the city
and guard the interests of the best
town In the state.
We should not allow our interest
in city affairs to drift into insignifi.
canoe. The fact that our happiness
and prosperity is largely dependent
upon the proper administration of
the city government should incite
US to be more concerned in this i'm
portant matter. Especially SO, since
the present legislature has ordered
that city administrations shall con
tinue four years, which doubled the
present tenure of office.
Our city would have been in a
predicament had not the Committee
postponed the date of the coming
city election. for at that time only
two citizens had expressed willing
ness to serve in the capacity of
aldermen. They forgot that our
existence is an interdepent one and
that we are forced to deprive our
selves of cer:ain privileges and per-
form several duties in order to en-
Joy a full degree of liberty from a
government of which they are a
component part. Mainly because
the duties of this position are oner-
Gus and without remuneration the
better element of our citizenship
have been laggard in announcing
their willingness to serve for the
city. Persons most fitted for these
offices allow personal business to set
off their interest in the welfare of
the city which homes them. This
important Office should be given
prominence and each voter should
deem it his duty to elevate same
and evince true Greenwood citizen
ship.
Several of the members Of the
present board of aldermen have
finally yielded to the intercessions
Of their friends in view of the fact
that the standard of this august
body not be lowered. They have
agreed to ask for reelection because
they fear that at the last moment
aspirants might appear who would
be a hindrance to a progressive
administration.
When you cast your vote for
alderman consider more closely than
the ones cast for other Offices. This
is easily the most important and
shapes the destiny of our city gov
eminent for four years to come.
Select those best fitted and get to-
gether for a more wide awake ad-
ministration.
