CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. Macy.
AN ALHiNo KING OF ENG
LAND.

X tELNsT -
IL 10 quite probable that Eng
land once had an albIno for q
king. Edward the Confessor,
who relgned from 1912 to 1865,
10 said to have had long hair
and beard, both as white 40
snow. His skin was Of a milky
color, and his face inclined to
rosIness. His hands were long
and very white. An albino al
ways has a skin Of q milky hue,
with hair Of tho Same color,
and eyes with deep red pupil
and pink or blue Iris. These
pecuiiarities are said to be
caused by a deficiency Of GER
tain colorlng matter In the
blood. Tho name aIbinos was
first given by the Portuguese
to negroes they found or the
African coast who were mot
tied with white spots. Aibinos
are found, however, among all
races Of men, and also among
some Of the lower animals, as
mice, elephants, etc. From the
descriptions Of King Edward's
personal appearance that have
come down to US, ard which
are evidently reliable, It 10 rea-
sonably certain that he was an
alblno.

| The Mississippi Bank & Trust
Co., of Jackson, the bank which
gained so much notoriety in con-
nection with Governor Varda-
mans deposit of state funds to
mis- credit there, failed the past
week. It had been suggested
that the bank closed it's doors
for the purpose of evading the
Jaw officers who are endeavoring
to have the books shown, with
che hope that after the primaries
the doors could be re- opened for
business. The condition of the
however. seems to be in
such shape that there is no likeli-
hood that it can resume business.

er's money is not a private account.
WHO?
Elk Governor Vardaman. The Banks would make the showing.
Ex-Governor will not permit it. He who boasts that he never
had a secret from the people is now alone standing between the
taxpayers and the blessed sunlight of publicity.
WHY?
Because thousands Of taxpayers believe Ex-Governor Varda-
man mixed their funds with his own and used them, and had to
be aided by his friends to raise what he did pay oyer.
for months after leaving the Governors Office, and failed to pay
over the Battleship Fund until after he had borrowed $1,000 and
peated demands.
Because he publicly promised his supporters in his caucus to
clear up these matters.
Because the books are the only way now of finding the facts.
NOW!! Before the primary. So you can KNOW when you
vote. So you can vindcate Ex-Governor Vardaman IF the books
show up clean, clear and straight.
Show the books themselves. Books. not Denialsn! Books.
Books not Abuse!!
THINK!
If the record is clean, why oppose their production? If not,
you would expect REFUSAL, RESISTANCE, INJUNCTION.
This is what you find. Ex-Governor Vardaman refused to show
the books. and his bank enjoined the States own officer from ex-
amining them.
What do you think? Answer at the polls.

SO he turned from her TO a woman who

so the wife who had given The best

Yet we want 20 help our husbands"
repeated the woman in sage green.
tHow are we 10 do it without driving
them from us7"
I sometimes think said the woman
in blue" that the only way to help a
man is TO be a hindrance, and that the
heavier burden a woman is TO a hus-
band the more she strengthens him.
That is paradoxical, but IT seems to
work out satisfactorily in life. If you

have husbands who make 1t, while the
women who can do without things
never have them.
