CHARGE to Grand Jury.

At the outset OF his charge
Judge Buckley stated that he
would deliver no formal charge,
but it had occurred to him that it
would be best to have a heart to
heart talk with the Grand Jury.
That he believed both the grand
and petit juries of Noxubee desir-
ed the enforcement of the laws, as
they were written in the statutes
of Mississippi. 1t was the duty
of the Grand Jury to enquire into
e.. all violations of the law and to
see that the laws were enforced.
1t was especially incumbent on
the members of the grand jury to
strictly preserve the secrets of the
grand jury sworn for the six
months prescribed by the statute,
and he would enforce the full
penalty against any grand juror
violating that law.
The first subject taken up was
the unlawful practice of profess
siOns, the professions of law and
medicine, especially the former
being referred to. The sale of CO.
cain to negroes, its evil and the
growth of it and the crimes it
caused it's users to commit were
fOrcibly emphasized, and the cost
to the state entailed by them was
mentioned. The adulteratiOn of
cotton seed meal and the statues
concerning the same were dWelt
upon. Concealed weapons, the
prevalence of the habit, the evils
consequent thereon, and the duty
of grand jurors and justices of the
peace was the next subject of the
Judges charge. He took occasion
here to endorse the Anderson law
now pending in the Legislature.
The crime of homicide was
stroiigly dealt with. The Judge
spokt'of the numerous homicides
in mississippi, and the United
States, and quoted statistics show
iAg sthe numbers of murders in
Mississippi and in the nation as
compared with Canada and Eu-
rope. 1t seems that the number
of homicides per capita in proper
ton to population is enormously
greater here than in other civilized
counties. And the crime is in
creasing. Between 1881 and
1908, 166,2S3 people were killed
in the United States, within
20, 900 az many as were killed du-
ring the Cival war, 1852 homi-
cides we're committed in this coun-
try in 1908. The number of
courts and judges these crimes
made necessary, and the tremen-
dOus cost to the country in money
as well as in morality and civil
izatiOn were mentioned.
Gambling in it's various forms,
and Judge C~Ochrane's herculean
efforts to break it up, was the
next matter in the charge. The
connection that shooting craps
has with murder and other crimes
among the negroes was set out.
The Judge said if Indictment were
found he would do his duty at his
end of the line.
Sunday laws, Roads and Road
Overseers, Convicts, Board of Su-
pervisOrs, Fish and Game Laws,
and Perjury were taken, up and
he law stated to the Grand Jury.

forth.

withdrawing the charge that the
trusts and combines were endeav-
ing to defeat his senatorial candi-
dacy and in the next paragraph,
with characteristic Vardaman
consistency, reiterating the same
charge-the former governor said
that, among other persons work
ing against him was ''the special
agent of the Mobile & Ohio road. "
There has been no special agent
of the Mobile & Ohio road in Jack
son at any time since the senate
rial campaign opened taking an
active part in the fight on Var
daman. Capt. J. D. McInnis,
general agent of the Mobile &
Ohio road, has been here frequent
ly ON official business, and it is
stated that he had something to
do with bringing Col. III. M.
Street into the race last Friday,
That may, or may not, be true.
If it IS true, it is neither a high
crime or misdemeanor.
However, the Daily News has
succeeded in locating at least one
special agent of the Mobile &
Ohio road and establishing his
identity with the senatorial cam
paign. 1t so happens that he is
not opposing Vardaman's nom
nation, but that, of course, is
merely an incident. It is emin-
emily proper to favor Vardaman,
but nothing short of treason to
oppose him.
According to a report filed with
the Mississippi railroad commits
sion, bearing date of June 3Oth.
1908, Annual Pass No. E. 219 was
issued ON March 26th, 1908, to
Capt. Frank Burkitt as especial
AGENT of said company.
And on April oath, 1908, &C
cording to the same report, Mo
bibe & Ohio Annual Pass No. 226
was issued to Mrs. Frank Burk-
lit as ''Family Employe."
The official record of 1909 pass
es issued by the Mobile & Ohio
road has not yet been received by
the railroad commission.
Therefore, it is impossible to
state positively whether Capt.
Frank Berkitt is still a especial
Agent' of that great corporation.
But. getting down to the dump
ling and the gravy, it is evident
from the above record that the
only especial Agent" who has ia
ken an active part in the senate
rial campaign is Capt. Frank
Burkitt, member of the lower
house of the legislature from
county, and bellweath-
er Of the populist flock, who
holds about twenty-five members
of the Glow pressure brigade" in
the hollow of his hand, and who
is voting them soIidly for Varda-
man.
just in this connection it is
proper to call attention to section
1906 of the annotated code of 1906
which says:
eff any officer, state, county,
district, or municipal. except the
railroad commissioners when in
the actual discharge of official
duties, shall travel or ride upon
any railroad without paying alb
sOlutely, and without any guile,
trick, subterfuge OF evasion what
soever, the same fare required of
passengers generally So he
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and shall be fined not less than
fifty dollars nor more than five
hundred dollars, or be imprisoned
in the county Jail not less than
ten days nor more than sixty
days, or BOTH"
This is the evidence in the case.

from democracy, and

BEAUTIFUL PRESENTS
Given to Distinguished Foreigner and
His Topeka Bride.

At the wedding of Count De Lu Sohn
to Miss Mary Hometrade of 1873 Collegs
ave-, many beautiful present were re-
ceived, among them was the beautiful
Madona of the Hills, the latest of Knaffel
Madonas, framed in beautiful ham
mered gold frame with lacquer liner
set back in the frame so as to give the
distance of the hills, a beautiful drawn
work tray made in Mahogany with
dainty handles to match, a beautiful
French mirror with one of the mezzo
type prints which are so rare, this was
in rich rose wood to match the picture,
they also received an Eastman ga fold
ing kodak which they prize highly,
they took some pictures of the we'd
ding, which came out fine, every pic
ture was clear. and brought out the
beautiful hand work on the brides
dress. They had their kodak finishing
done in Topeka as they were informed
that Wolcott did the best We * in the
West. In fact all of the above presents
came from Wo1cott's. All people who
go there to get pictures framed use
their best judgment, as they have tho
finest line of molding in the city, and
the only expert Trainer in Topeka AMI
the next time you want something
framed swell take it to Wolcott, 720
Kansas ave, and 1t will be done right.

"Who addressed them ?"

WnO addressed them
''Why, 1 think Alice said that her
Aunt Jane and her two cousins had
offered to-
The younger of the two cousins is
an extremely fighty impressionable
young person. According to the laws
of probability and chance should say
it was just about twice as likely that
she should have skipped name or
two as that Alice. who is a most
thoughtful girl, should have deliber-
ately sighted a good friend.
And yet I don't doubt what my
friend said that 'So-and-So will never
forgive Alice
Among a few hundred invitations
isn't it likely that such persons will
make one or two mistakes? In fact,
isn't it unlikely that they Will do any
thing else?
A mistake of this sort came rather
unexpectedly to light in my circle of
acquaintances recently when one of
the young girl friends of the bride-to-
be was not invited to the reception
at the house following the wedding,
while all the rest of the crowd were
invited to both.
Z A few DAYS before the wedding the
bride-to-be called up this girl among
others, and asked her to come over
and see her wedding oytf1t. The girl
had an engagement that day-realiy
had. for she wasn't the snippy kind
that would have pretended one-and
could not come.
"Weu, I guess you can see most of
the things at the house the night of
the wedding conforted the bride-to-
be.
The girl fortunately had an excess of
courage. But I'm not invited to the
house." she gasped.
The bride-to-be was Mortified. She
distinctly remembered having written
the name on the list herself, and it
turned out to have been the last one on
the page and to have been thus
omitted.
In another case my mother received
two invitations to wedding and our
next door neighbor none. We felt
sure it was simply a most natural mis-
take of the addresser in writing one
name twice and skipping the next, so
after due consideration we went to the
