The Target Tells The Tale.

ability can always produce
the evidence. Come into court
and fight your case-the world is
in the jury box. You'll get a
square deal and a fair verdict.
This is a poor mans century.
Everybody everywhere has equal
rights to everything-the gates
are only locked against dishonesty
the fight is free-the contest
open to all corners.
'The human will can batter
down any obstacle. If you've
failed, it's because another man
wanted your place harder. So
long as we make presidents of
canal boys and let country clerks
become merchant princes, you
can't accuse society of favoritism
or prejudice.
Few attain and none sustain
leadership by accident. Men
may reach to top a fluke, but
they can't stay ahead if they
aren't drawer and stronger and
shrewder than those who are
constantly struggling to surpass
and dispossess them.
"As old Cyrus Simmonds used
to say: THE target tells the
tale,
"'You can fire, away all day,
but only the shots that land are
counted in the score.
Most folks think they're
making good when they're just
making a noise.
1.-The whole secret. of success
is in a mans ability to aim
straight-hold steady and keep
hitting the mark ahead of him.

Judge Claude Clayton.

Claude Clayton. of Tupelo, has
been appointed circuit judge OF
the first district to succeed Judge
J. II. Mitchell, whose time will
expire early next year. Judge
Mitchell has been on the bench
for several years and so far as
we know has given general sat
isfaction. For a number OF
years he was one of the leading
teachers of this county and his
students can be found filling al
most every kind of calling with
honor. When he took up the
practice of law he made a sue
cess from the very start and his
ability was soon recognized and
the governor appointed him
judge.

Brewer Has Arranged to
Borrow Needed Money.

Governor Brewer is still in
Vicksburg and is speaking this
morning of reports from Europe
that counsel from foreign bond
holders are claiming that Missis-
sippi is attempting to borrow
money, said, 1T is not a fact
that the state of Mississippi is
attempting at this time to bor-
row any money. l have made.
arrangements to borrow all the
money Mississippi will need, of
any consequence, for the next
two years, and | got it in the
United States at a low rate of
interest.
Now as regards the repudi-
alton of old bonds amounting in
round figures to seven million
dollars. and referred to in cables
from London, this reputation
was made prior to the Civil War,
about 1874. After the war be-
fore Mississippi was permitted
to participate as a state in the
affairs of the nation the state
was required to adopt a republi-
can form of government and did
adopt the constitution of 1869
which. contained a provision
preventing any payment on said
old bonds.
There has never been any
effort to enforce collection of
these bonds or to settle the ques-
ton of liability in the federal
courts. The reason for this fail
ure to undertake to hold the
state liable in the federal courts
is the fact that the bonds were
issued for the benefit of the
Union Bank and the Planters
Bank, and was nothing more
than the state lending its credit
to private institutions, and while
there is an old decision of the
Mississippi courts holding that
the bonds were a valid charge
against the state it is thought
by many able lawyers that the
federal court would hold the
contrary. In other words, that
the federal court would hold that
no state had any authority or
power to pledge It's .fa and
credit to the success Of i privat
BUSINESS anf se }erefor
the holders Of old repudiated
bonds have 5raferred & annoy
the state BY casting reflection
upon its credit at every oppor-
tunity, and by this means hope
to'get something on the bonds
rather than take the chances of
having the United States
supreme court to be null and
void and never a legitimate
C" arge against the state. Z.
"The constitution of 1890 re-
iterates that the bonds, or no
part of them, or interest there
on, shall ever be paid by the
state. If there should be a COM
plete reversal of sentiment and
a change in the constitution and
laws, and the state should
actually undertake to pay the
bonds the question could then
be raised by a nonresident tax
payer and the federal court COM
PEELED to pass upon the validity
of the issue, and if this is done,
it is very likely that the federal
court would hold that the state
had no authority under it's con-
stitution to issue the bonds, and
that the original purchasers were
charged with notice of this at
the time they purchased the
bonds, and therefore are void.
