Says the Aberdeen Examiner:
In his response to a toast at a ban
quet at Meridian, President WV.
Finley, of the Southern Railway
Company, p~refaced his remarks
with the following sentences: 'It
is a characteristic Of all Mississip-
plans, no matter where we live or
how long we may be absent, that
we never abate our love for our
native state, or lose an opportun-
ity to come back to it.
eve Mississippians are proud
of our state, and of it's glorious
history in peace and war. We
are proud of her sons whose names
have been indelibly inscribed on the
scroll Of fame. Knowing the state
and my fellow Mississippians as /
do, ] am confident that it will
never lack sons and daughters who
will uphold it's high reputation.
We can look forward to the future
with confident assurance that we
shall always see the banner of Mis-
issippi in the forefront of prog

THE WILSON,
INCIDENT.

The people of the country, es
pecialIy those who are familial
with the characters and careers
of the two men. will not credit
Watterson's peevish and pettisF
attack on Mr.. Wilson'S veracity.
Watterson was always more of a
rhetorian than logician, his mag
ination ever more vivid than his
memory exact. What may be
his recollection Of occurrences
happening when good fellows
get together'-and any gather
ing of men he was not in arms
against was apt to become such
a gathering when the colonel
made one of the party of du-
bious value as testimony, and
weakened too by the colonel's re-
fusal to furnish the proof. To
publicly accuse one of crime and
hold back the proof out of con-
sideration for him smacks Of
Wattersonian logic.
Mr.. Wilson several times since
his entry into politics has been
confronted with the hard and
difficult right and the easy and
pleasant wrong and each time
has unhesitatingly done the man.
! ly and courageous thing. No
one who knows him doubts the
pain caused him by the parting
of him and Col. Harvey of Har-
per's Weekly. The personal sacri-
flee MI. Wilson made was made be-
cause his devotion to a high cause
demanded the sacrifice of per-
sonal friendship and even per-
sonal gratitude when they came
in conflict with the success of a
great ideal. Croker erst- while
Of Tammary may call him an in
crate; Mr.. Wilson can thank him
for the compliment. The trouble
with our government has long
been that personal gratitude for
political assistance or favors has
too often out-weighed the graft
tude one should feel for the peo-
pie at large and the country
which gave him birth and living
and honors.
Democrats are forever blum
dering Unto quarrels and then
washing their dirty linen in the
public press. 1t is the quality in
some of their leaders that has
kept the party from success more
than once. Let us hope that Mr..
Wilson will refuse to wrangle
with the Kentuckian who has re-
moved him from the niche in the
Wattersonian private temple of
democracy. Like Dogberry, Mr..
Wilson can let Col. Watterson 90
and thank God he is rid of a left
bower.

OUNCAN'S CASE
AGAIN MOVED
Actions Of Dorchester Sheriff
Caused the Case to Be
Removed TO EdSton

Cambridge, Md, Nov. 10. Upon
affidavit of States Attorney William F..
johnson, Of Worcester County, that he
could not secure fair and impartial
trial of William b. Duncan. charged
with the murder of John w. Allen at
Pocomoke City last July, the case has
been removed for trial at Easton. in the
Second Judicial district. Although the
States Attorney, through his represen-
tative, Judge K. ID. Jones, from Snow
Hill, gave no reasons, it is believed
that his motion rested upon the fact
that Sheriff Bradshaw had taken Dun
can with him from the Jail and intro
Quoted him to several of the countians.
Sheriff Bradshaw 5 statement is to the
effect that Duncan was turned over to
him without any commitment, and that
before the proper papers arrived he
kept him in charge and took him on
one or two occasions in his automobile.
He says that Duncan was introduced
to persons in his Office as "Mr. Dun
cam" but few, if any. knew that he
was held in connection with the Wor-
cester tragedy. He denies that Dun
can talked with any of the countians
who might be members of the Grand
Jury or Petit Jury.
1t is asserted that the Sheriff took
Mr.. Duncan out riding with him, that
they attended public sale where Mr..
Duncan met a number of the people Of
the County.

Exhibit

The citizens Of Snow Hill are arrang-
ing a health conference and exhibit.
We believe that the health of the peo-
Pile can be materially bettered IL their
attention is directed to the remedy of
many evils in the mode Of living and
how to avoid disease.
The Conference will last two days.
Prominent physicians from Baltimore
and other parts of the country will be
present and make addresses on such
important subjects as, milk" THE
Role of Insects in the Spread OF Dis
ease" water" Sewage Disposal
and Tuberculosis. These subjects
are interesting in themselves to those
concerned in improving conditions. but
they will be made more so by the intro
duction of illustrations, moving pictures
and an exhibit.
All the physicians of the town are CO.
operating with the Medical and Chirur-
gical Faculty Of Maryland to make this
conference big success. Every man.
woman and child is directly and vitality
interested. for who is free from the
menace of the fly, unclean milk or i'm
pure drinking water?
No admission will be charged to either
the conference or the exhibit. II is to
be hoped that there will be large
attendance of the country people as
well as the town people. as all are inter-
ested alike. These lectures and lantern
demonstrations will be given in the Court
room, as the object is the promotion of
the public health.

Corn HuskS Indicate Hard
Winter

| had always heard the ''old Indian
sign Of thick corn husks meant cold
winter, but had never thought to notice
it until about year ago; as | was husk-
ing some corn thought one of the ears
had thick husk, so counted the lay
ers and found there were seven Of them
which was a good husk. So this year.
noticing the husks seemed thick, Invent
out a week or two ago and pulled an
ear off that looked as if il had thick
husk on il, and cut across it at the stem
end and counted eighteen layers. So If
the corn husks know more about the
coming winter than man does and
such winter as last followed a seven
layer husk. what will follow an eighteen
layer husk?- Indiana Farmer.
