WHAT HIS DEVELOPED

Governor Brewer has shown that Secretary Yerger of the peni-
Tertiary board has robbed the state of at least 100000. He has
shown from written instruments that certain employees OF the prison
trustees have been selling the states produce at weights much less
than the actual weights. For example: A carload of cottonseed
would be billed out at 10000 pounds less than actual weight, and
further investigation will no doubt reveal the same thing as to ship
ments of cotton. Investigation has also shown that the trustees
have not given penitentiary affairs the attention required by
law. So far, developments have not shown who prohted by the
"phony' weights in cotton or cottonseed.
Certainly the taxpayers of the state have been the losers. De-
velopments have shown that one cotton firm. by some hook or crook,
bought almost all the states cotton, and evidence was brought out
to show that on one OCCASION, after Craig & Co. had bought the cot
ton offered for sale, it was taken from them and Boyce & Co., the
regular buyers, allowed to have it.
The Governor has been away from the capital for several days
prosecuting an Investigation at Parchman and other points, and he
will no doubt be able to fasten somebody else later on. 1t is stated
that the Governor expects to sue all parties who have been buying
from the trustees at "phony' weights.

No man who makes a practice of being dishonest and repudi-
ating his Just accounts ever amounts to a hill of beans. In the CON-
mercial world they never get to the quarter pole. The successful
business man thinks almost as much of his credit as he does of his
wife. for he knows if his wife leaves him he stands some show of
getting another, but if his credit forakes him he is up against it.
He can have but one credit. 1t seems strange with all this in mind
that young men will start out with beating little bills at the restaur-
ants and att the store. They will even borrow fifty cents of a friend
and refuse to pay it back. That class of fellows always wear a BAN
ner that can be seen all over town and everybody is onto them.
When it comes to paying your debts. honesty is the best policy"

Hon. H. f. Blakeslee, Commissioner of Agriculture, has pre-
scented a scheme for financing the farmers of Mississippi which is
receiving considerable notice by the press of the state. Briefly. Mr..
Blakeslees plan is that the state float fifty or ont hundred
million dollars of 4 per cent bonds and loan the money derived from
the bonds to farmers at per cent on real estate. We are not pre-
pared to pass upon the legal phases of the proposition but the
scheme seeks to carry out the idea which is being advanced in diff
ferent parts of the country to give the farmers cheap money, and in
that regard it is commendabe. We have very great respect for
Mr.. Blakeslee's judgment and hope that if his suggestion is not
practical, that from it 4 plan will be evolved to give the farmers
money as cheap as the merchant o. any other calling gets it.

1t is whispered around in political circles that Hon Lee Crum
of New Albany will be named l. S. district attorney of this district,
which APPOINTMENT will be made at the instance of Senator Varda-
man. 1t seems to be understood that Vardaman will control the
patronage of the northern district, while John Sharp Williams will
control the patronage of the southern district. This arrangement
between Mississippis two senators brings disappointment, as the
Sentinel understands, to the friends of Hon. W. S. Hill, who ex-
pected that Senator Williams would see that he was named district
attorney, and some of them even hint that Mr.. Williams is forgetful
about the fidelity of his friends.

There are various ways to succeed in this life. The man who
minds his own business is likely to be a success; the one who lets
other peoples business alone is likely to get there; the man who
strictly attends to that which concerns himself alone. and leaves
that which concerns others to take care of itself, will be certain to
be a success; while he who neglects his own affairs and attempts to
manage those of his neighbor, is certain to be left behind in the race
