A HUNTERS STORY

One of the most interesting books
recently published is In Closed
Territory by Edgar Beecher Bron-
son. The book is a description of
several months hunt in British East
Africa by Mr.. Bronson and 1t is H.
lustrated by photographs taken by
the author and other members of his
party.
Mr.. Bronson, who is now a New
Yorker, but whose early life was
spent in roughing it on the western
plains, hunted over some of the terri
tory later covered by Colonel Roose-
welt, but his hunt was not surround
ed by so much pomp and circum-
stance as that of the former presi-
dent. For that very reason he UNI
doubtedly got closer to nature and TO
hunting conditions as they actually
exist.
His book is of absorbing interest
and he gives graphic picture not
only of conditions in East Africa,
but of the obstacles to be overcome
by an American private citizen who
desires to hunt big game in Africa.

Old days before the war are
brought to mind by the death last
Thursday at Whittier. Calf, of
Simeon Brownell who was born in
Powanl 50 years ago. He went early
in life to New York state where he
amassed great wealth and became
famous as an abolitionist before the
war and later as a prohibitionist and
philanthropist. Even before he
reached his majority he became an
active anti slavery agltator and for
years was one of the conductors of
the underground railroad, which
helped hundreds OF slaves to escape
from their masters into Canada. He
was once nominated for lieutenant
governor of New York. but was de
feated at the polls. A large part OF
his fortune he gave away for philan
thropic and charitable purposes dur
ing the later part OF his life. For
some years he has lived in retire
ment at Whittier, near Los Angeles

We don't know how other people feel
about it, but this writer thinks we have
had about enough CT this legislative bus
mess for the present. All kinds of local
and private legislation is being enacted at
an expense to the people of some twelve
hundreds or more dollars per day. New
County bills, university fraternity bills,
and others that should be held over until
the regular session. Gov. Noel has not
made himself any more popular by ex-
tending the session In fact he sends in
so many special messages that he is ne
ccssarily compelled to extend the session
III order to give the legislature a chance
to do a few of the things he recommends.
If he had not opened the door for all
kinds of legislation an adjournment could
have been had long ago. AS we said
in another letter though if we run out
of money bonds can be issued and we
hill billies can work to pay the interest.

REDUCING THE COTTON ACREAGE

Put up my mule, I'm tired down;
Pull my boots off, Uncle Ned,
An when I've smok'd this cob pipe out
| think I'll go to bed
Where frOm2 Why, from meeting boys
The farmers all were there,
For it seemed that eight-cent cotton
Has given them scare.
Twas called by Squire billiard,
And he axed me- to the chair;
So l appointed a committee
The resolutions to prepare.
And while they was fixing 'em,
We called on Parson Stout
To norate to the people
What the 'semblage was about.
He took the stand just as he does
Upon camp meeting days
And clasp his hands upon his chest
Like Deacon Gibson prays.
Said he: Friends, ever since the war
A trouble has been breewin',
For the spectators have combined
70 bring about our ruin.
Seem that the cotton crap
The demand was far exceeding,
And that we sent TO market more
Than all the world was needing.
These heartless men, tho knowing well
That it wern't near what it cost US,
Stood off till we were bourrd to sell
And then, eight cents they tossed US.
This crime agin their felIowmen
The world would scorn, if knowing,
And we are here to take the steps
To make proper showing
To show that while we're bedding up
Our lands with usual care,
And arranging how to pitch a crap
And about the laborers' share,
The spectators who kept count
of all the stock on hand,
And know jjust what We made last year,
1 And just WARS the demand

We notice some grave charges have
been brought against some members of the
legislature to the effect that they have
sold their votes for patronage. Of course
those bringing the charges are dis
gruntled, but they are too serious to pass
bv unnoticed. A committee should be APP
pointed to investigate these charges, and
if any one has been guilty he should be
punished as the law directs.

SAYS He HAS TWINS AND WANTS
REWARD.

The secretary Of state, is in receipt OF
letter from citizen Of Skcne, Miss,
who states that he IS informed he is
entitled to $50 en- account of being
the father Of "rvo living twins boys,
named James and John, and that if
there is any truth in the story he would
like to have the money as soon as possible,
as he has 4 large family, and needs the
cash. He informs the secretary that the
twins arrived on the I4th Of Feb. 1909, ard
are therefore more than year cid,
Mississippi has never offered any pre-
MUM on twins, or she would have been
bankrupt long ago. 1t is hoped the time
will never cs1ne in the state when it is
necessary to offer premiums to such pa
triotic citizens. Twins are TO curiosity
in this part Of the country. No doubt
there arc a thousand pairs in the state
today.
It should also be remembered that
Mississippi claims the distinction of
having as citizens the oldest triplets
on carth-J. F. Price, Of Pelahatchie;
Henry Price, of Jackson, and their sister,
of Webster county, who are close to
seventy. years cf age, ard hale and hearty.
And these are By no means the only triplets
in Mississippi, though the state offers no
reward for even that distinguished SER
vice to ones country.

PERCY'S SENSE OF RIGHT.

The Fort Worth (Texas) Record, ed
tied by Hunt McCaleb, former Mis-.
sissippi newspaper man, and well re-
membercd about Jackson, reminds Mis-
sissippianS of an interesting incident in
the life of Hon. Leroy Percy of Green
vile, the gentleman who was recently
elected United States senator by the
legislature of his native state. He says:
"Half dozen years age, when three
young men-Cocke, Lauderdale and Smith,
members of well-to-do families-scapped
a long series of lawless acts by the muir
der eff passenger en- a Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley train and forced the engi
neer to uncouple his engine and carry them
from Leland, the point where the crime
was committed, to Greenvillc, the people
of that entire section arose in indigna
tion protest and demarded the punishment
of the slayers. Confident in their belief
based on past experience, that they could
not be convicted, Cccke and Lauderdale,
who were cousins, went to Percy and
rendered him a fee, probably the largest
ever rendered lawyer in the state, to
lead the defense. Percy's answer was
terse and emphatic. Nc he replied, mot
for ten times that sum would l appear
before a Washington county jury in de-
tense of men for such a crime
"He then volunteered his services to
the state, and, mainly through his eff
forts, were Cooke, Lauderdale and Smith
convicted, Cooke and Lauderdale being
sentenced to hang and Smith escaping with
a life. sentence" E8
What finer tribute coulde BE paid to
any man? What man would wish any
thing better said about him?
1t is just such acts as this that have
made the name of Leroy Percy one to
conjure with. 1t has been charged
against him that he came Down to Jack
son a stranger, that he was not known
in half dozen counties in the state, and
yet he walked off with a senatorship.
That is the statement made at the Varda-
man taIkfeast at the Century theatre
last week.
1t was also charged that Mr.. Percy
was painting pretty pictures with "Three
Feathers" ignoring the fact that the use
of Three Feathers shows fine taste and !
good judgment, this charge-intended to
convey the idea that Mr.. Percy is a dyed
in-the-wool whiskeyite, falls very flat
when one knows the answer he gave the |
National Liquor Dealers. Association when
they offered him handsome fee to come
down to Jackson two years ago and
represent them before the legislature in the
fight against statutory prohibition
The Liquor Dealers Association wrote
Mr.. Percy, offering him $500 to use
his efforts to defeat the bill. He wrote
back declining the proposition. Then came
telegram t. his Greenville address ''Name
your own fee, but go to Jackson at once"
or words to that effect.
What did Leroy Percy do? He re-
piled: "Tkc size of the fee has nothing
I'd do with it. l will not accept the
case at any price"
Costly talk, that. Not many men in
the world WHO would have turned down
a proposition to name his cwn fee
