President of the ,Anti-Saloon

the wretchedness and poverty

A Mistaken Idea.

Most people seem to think that
the Vardaman press of the state
would hail the resignation of DR..
Hardy with howls of delight, but
such is not the case. Take for
instance the Starkville News,

was always to be found in the
front ranks Of the ex-governor.

From the effects Of this treat
ment she fell unconscious. I'M
pressed with the idea that she
was dead, and for the purpose of
conceallng his hellish crime he
lifted the bruised and bloody
body, carried it to the back yard,
where he dropped it in a deep
we'll. Then he covered the
mouth of the we'll with a wide
board. It is probable when Mrs.
Bell struck the water, she was
revived to some extent, for she
brdced herself against the wall,
and remained in that position uni
til her nine year old boy return
ing from school located her. The
heroic little fellow with much
precision fora lad of his age let
the bucket down, tied the other
end of the rope to a piece of tim
Ger, and told his mother to catch
hold of the rope until he ran for
help. In short time aid arrived
on the scene and she was drawn
out, Drs. Hunter Scales, Of
Starkville and Ellis of Cedar
Bluff responded and administered
medical aid. The gashes across
her throat indicated that the me-
gro intended cutting it from ear
to ear, but the dullness of the
weapon thwarted his purpose.
Wednesday morning several
cool headed citizens cautioned
the crowd to move cautiously IN
the premises and see that the
right party suffered the penalty.

told several conflicting stories.

ment of Prof. Hardy has been

grown from a very insignificant
affair to one of the best Agricul-

the South. Prof. Hardy is an
educator of recognized ability,
and by throwing himself heartily
into the work and keeping close
ly in touch with the education
system of the entire state he has
not only pushed the college to
the front but has taken lead in
the educational work and the de-

"Mr. Hardy possesses with his
educational ability, also business

ness with which the foreign press has
undertaken 10 criticise the action OF
the Senate in passing the Panama
Canal bill granting free tolls to Ameri-
can vessels and the threats Of retalia -
ton from foreign sources in the way Of
a tariff war or otherwise Is regarded
by officials Of the administration as an
evidence Of overzealousness. 10 say the
least Although it has been said that
President Taft will approve the meas
IRE. II is pointed out that the bill has
not yet been agreed upon IN conference
and that it has not yet been advanced
to such stage that II Is a subject for
diplomatic consideration.
II is further pointed out that the
question cannot be arbitrated or con
sidered diplomatically until it has been
brought 10 an issue. This has not y"i
been done. and will not be done until
the President afixes his signature 10
the measure.
II is premature al thls u"le 10 ~
diet that the United States government
purposes to ignore its treaty reguh
tions with other countries. The fact
that il asserts In the form OF legisla- j.
tion a claim of right is not regarded as
tantamount 10 the violation Of treaty.
The subject has not yet been consld-
cred as diplomatic problem and Will
not be. SO long as the bill remains IN
the hands Of the Legislature and has
not received the Presidents approval
