Good Friend" President Buchanan.

said:
Your letter Of the 9th ult. has afforded
me the greatest pleasure, containing as it
does such kind expressions with regard to
my son and assuring me that the character
and object of his visit to you. and to the
United States ave been fully appreciated
and that his demeanor and the feelings
svinced by him hav secured to him your
esteem and the general good will of your
countrymen.
1 purposely delayed the answer to your
letter until I should be able to couple
with it the announcement of the prince
of Wales safe return to his home. Con-
trary winds and stress of weather have
much retarded his arrival, but we have
been fully compensated for the anxiety
| which this long delay has naturally
caused us by finding him in such excel
lent health and spirits and so delighted
with all he has seen and experienced in
his travels.
He cannot sufficiently praise the great
| cordiality with which he has been every
where greeted in your country and the
friendly manner in which you nave re-
ceived him, and whilst, as a mother, I am
grateful for the kindness shown, I feel
impelled to express at the same time
how deeply I have been touched by the
| many demonstrations of affection person
GILL toWdEo hly0SAA ~ AhS ASoSAS
has called forth.
I fully reciprocate toward your nation
the feelings thus made apparent and look
upon them as forming an important link
to connect two nations Of kindred origin
and character, whose mutual esteem and
friendship must always have so material
an influence upon their respective devel-
opment and prosperity.
The interesting and touching scene at
the grave of General Washington. to
which o allude, may be fifty taken as
the type of our present feeling, and I
trust of our future relations.
The prince c~onsort, who heartily Joins
in the expressions contained in this let
ter, wishes to be kindly remembered to
you. as we both wish to be to Miss Lane.
Believe me. always your good friend.
VICTORIA. r.
The Prince Of Wales wrote to the
president in the same spirit and sent
him a portrait of himself "as a slight
mark of my grateful recollection of
the hospitable reception and agree
able visit at the White House on the
occasion of my tour in the United
States" The portrait was a painting
of himself done by Sir John Watson
Gordon. The prince also presented
Miss Lane with a set of ~engravings
of the royal family.

That Near Beer Decision.

NAT near 6cSF OcCtSlOHs
AS deeply interested as, anyone else
in the much discussed near beer" de-
cision Of the supreme court is Gov.
Noel. He has received a number Oh IN.
qulries as to the effect of the ruling
of the court, and also requests for in.
struction from officials responsible for
the carrying out of the spirit and in
tent OF that decree.
There are some who appear to be
under the impression that, following
literally the lines announced by Judge
Anderson in the leading opinion, the
exemption from liability would apply
to wines, ales or other stimulants,
which are regarded as non-intoxicants:
ever though they may contain more
than 2 per cent of alcohol. This is. OF
course, a false assumption and n not
justified by the opinion Of the court.
The governor states that he will
make a close study of all three of the
written opinions handed down, and af
ter he has boiled the points down tc
the concrete he will issue instructions
to officers of the law, though this may
not be necessary, as the attorney gen.
erals department has filed a sugges-
ton of error. which Assistant Attorney
General Mcdowell, who drew the doc
ument, believes will pass muster and
cause the court to, at any rate, modify
or clarity the decree SO that it a not
be misinterpreted.

populistic whiskers as that state ever
produced, but quickly taking a broad
hint, amputated them, and from that

Fuller, Justices Day, Lurton and
Holmes sport downy decorations

Kenna goes even a trifle farther and
attaches himself to sidewhiskers.
The main point is: Will Governor
Hughes recognize the fact that whis-

WILLIAMS MUST PAY BACK.
Fundst Of the Levee Board Not Hi
Personal Property.


From a general interest viewpoint
the most important case decided by
the supreme court Monday was that of
Writ Adams, state revenue agent. vs..
F. l. Williams, treasurer, etc, being
the final announcement in a some
what celebrated case, and n that has
been before the court first and last for
some two years. The general conclu-
sion of the court, as announced by
Judge Whitfield, who prepared an elab-
crate opinion, was that there Is no
question that F. 1. Williams was liza
BILE for the accrued funds of the upper
levee board, of which he was the le-
gally constituted official custodian,
and that these funds were not his per-
sonal perquisites.
Judge Whitfield covered the facts
and circumstances out of which the
cas- grew, in general terms, relating
for the information of the bar that,
acting in his official capacity, as a
bonded officer, Treasurer Williams
had placed the funds in certain banks,
which had in turn allowed him a recip-
rocating interest, which Williams had
claimed as his personal assets and
perquisites. The amount involved in
this particular suit was some $4,000,
which the state e agent discov-
cred through his expert deputies, and
after a careful investigation of the
subject, filed suit in order to decide
ones and for all whether any fiscal or
fiduciary officer of the state, or Of any
county or lsvee board, can claim ans
share of interest accruing IN deposits
placed by him as such trust funds.

A CONVICT LABOR.
Making Good Wheat Crop-WouId Buy
Cotton Mill.

With a full attendance, including the
three members of the board land a
number of officers of the ~penitentiary
department, the board Of prison trus-
tees met for their regular monthly ses
sion Wednesday.
Concluding his report, Tru tee Tay-
lor had the following to say:
Our experiment with wheat in the
delta has been perfectly satisfactory
and up to our most sanguine expccta-
tions, the crop yielding, according TO
the best wheat men whom we have
had to inspect it, not less thar forty
bushels per acre. We therefore feel
encouraged to increase the wheat acre
age very considerably this fall.
1--WE are very much convinced that
it is part of our duty, at least t. diver
sify and develop such crops as will
prove beneficial, not only to the stale
farm, but to serve as an object-lessoA
to the entire farming population. We
have a fine state In which to live, and
should all, in my judgment, thorough
ly develop the many resources availa-
BILE within its borders"
Col. Montgomery, the First district
member of the board, takes also a
rather optimistic view of the outlook,
and prospects seem good for crops of
every description. He said:
81 really think that a movement
ought to be put On foot by the next
legislature to sell the Oakley place and
buy the Wesson Mill property or else
erect some mill in the delta whereby
the five or 81 xthousand bales of cotton
that the state makes can be manufact-
ured on her own SOIL"
No Bidders for Bonds.
Gov. Noel does not anticipate the
likelihood of a special session OF the
legislature being made necessary on
account of his failure to sell the $780,
900 state bond issue, authorized at the
recent session to meet the prospective
deficit In for the biennial Pc
Rod.
While the failure to market the
bonds a surprise and a disappointment
to Gov. Noel, he attributes it not to
any lack of confidence in Mississippi
securities, but to the present condition
of the money market that renders a
four per cent bond, twenty-year period,
unattractive to the bond-buying syndi-
Gates.
The governor was especially sur
prised to learn that the foreign bond
committee of the London stock ex-
change had issued a warning against
Mississippi bonds. and also the securi-
ties of North Carolina ON account of
the reputation of certain ~ante-bellum
issues.
Mississippi has marketed number
less bond issues since the civil war,
and has always succeeded in placing
them on the market at par or above.
during Gov. Vardaman's administra-
ton considerable difficulty was en-
countered in marketing bonds, owing
to the financial stringency that finally
eliminated in the panic Of 1907, but
the former governor managed to dis
pose of the issues at par.
In event there Is not an improve
ment in the general financial situation
that gives promise of the likelihood of
selling the bonds In the Eastern mar
ket, it is more than likely that Missis-
sippi's spirit of patriotism and civic
pride will be appealed to, and that the
bonds will be sold in small blocks to
parties within the state.
