GOVERNOR O'NEAL
 WILL RETURN SOON

= Montgomery August 30-(Specal.) l.)-Gov. Enimet O'Neal will probably be away from his office at least two weeks longer, re- turning to the city some time during the second week in September. The gov ernor left Montgomery last Wednesday week for the east, where he went to arr range for loan of $100,000 for the state While he has until September 12 to re- main out of Alabama, it is not likely that he will return so soon to his office.
 The constitutional period of 20 days, during which time the governor may be absent from the state will expire on Sep tember l2 but it is nor probable that the chief executive will remain longer than 20 days on his eastern trip. When he re- turns to the state he will probably go to his home at Florence for brief rest, re- turning to Montgomery after a few days visit to that citys

MERIDIAN ID HAVE ANOTHER RAILROAD Mississippi Board Educa- ton Appointed-Try to
 Gust Sheriff

Jackson. Miss. August SO.-tSpecial' Governor Noel has issued proclama' tion authorizing the organization of an other railroad company in the city ot | Meridian. this one to be known as the Meridian and Memphis Railroad com panv." with & A Neville, Charles F. Scofield and w. .. Stovall, all of Me ridian. as the prime movers In the en- terprise
 Beginning within the corporate limits of Meridian the line is to extend in nbrthwesterly direction through the counties of Iauderdale. Newton, Nesho- ba. I.eake. Attala. Carroll. Montgom- cry and Cirenada-the northern terminal at or near Winona.
 On straight line this would pass through or touch a section of the state where railroad facilities are little known and open mp one of the finest timber and farming regions in the state.
 State Superintendent of Education Powers has apointed the members Of the state board of education who are to serve for the next four years. They are Prof G. w. IGuddleston of Millsaps college Superintendent H. l.. McClesky of Hazlehurst. Superintendent J. C. Windham of Canton.
 The new apartments are made with the distinct understanding that if they. move any further away from Jackson during the next four years, they are to resign their office as members of the state board of examiners. The idea of the state superintendent is to have them as near to Jackson as possible so that he may call a meeting every week if he sees the necessity therefor.
 The contractors who guaranteed to bore a sufficient number of artesian wells to furnish Jackson with 4,000,000 gallons of pure and wholesome water per day and who finished their fifth well several months ago. have never yet been able to demonstrate that they have the water demanded under their contract, and are in a fair way to lose a good big sum of money.
 Goevernor Noel has instructed the district attorney and the county at torney of Harrison county to institute quo wanto proceedings against Sheriff William Reeves, Jr., with a view to busting him from the courthouse as sheriff tax collector or any other of fee he may claim to hold in connec- tion with the office of sheriff, and has no doubt as to the success of the legal proceedings,
 It has been reported to the governor that Mir. Reeves agrees to surrender the office of tax collector, but that he denies the right and the power of the governor to suspend or dismiss him from the office of sheriff on the ground that it is a constitutional office, and separate and distinct from the office of tax collector The governor, the at torney general and the supreme court all agree on that propositon-that is. that the two offices are one and insep- arable, and that when the governor sus- bends one he suspends the other.

Early Trouble in Married Life.

Some time ago a young married wo-
man of Hartford, whose name we
omit, made a curious blundsr. She put
some eggs on to boil soon after
breakfast one morning. They were
still on when he came home at din
ner time. Upon her husband asking
what was in the saucepan, she an
swered: Eggs for your dinner. They
have baen ON since soon after break
fast. have tried them with fork
and they are not boiled yet" His
astonishm mt may be bettsr imagined
than described. And the mere men-
tion of eggs now brings a rosy blush
to her face. Please do not ask US

that due credit should be given TO
Mr. James NJ. Ross, who did all of

in this Lime of newspaper work and
he has lived up to his contract with
this office in every respect. Next
Week he and his family will leave

will get out another edition. They
have made many friends since com-

Half Dollar Worth $500.

Henderson. KY, September U.s.
Two thousand five hundred dollars
is the value Of a coin belonging to
Louis Hoyes. one OF THE propnietrs
of the Nicekleodeon. according To
the report of the American Numis-
matte association OF Chicago, which
says there lis only one other in ex-
istence except the one they have,
and offers that amount for the coin.
1t is 5O-oent piece made in the
year 1858. and was taken in by
Mr.. Hayes as a half dollar in the
regular course of business.
1t is not the oldness of the coin
but the fact that there are only
two in existence that makes the
value There are many coins in
existence and a number of them
In Henderson that are much older.
Mr.. Hayes will probably dispose
of his coin, as he feels that Ii is a
little too valuable for him to
hold. but he doesn't intend 10 be
in amy hurry about 1t. as he rather
enjoys the novelty of owning 1t.

fact that no strings We're on him
showed that he was faithful, and that
was bldter than to BE- enrollad among

Mayor of our city from those who de-
sired to sae the laws enforced; and
the fact that the lawless are hostile
to him is the highest compliment
that can be paid him.
ITO say that he has his faults is
to say that he is human to say that

done his duty, and shown himself
