CORRESPONDENT CONDEMNS INcON-
SISTENcY OF CHURCH PEOPLE.

An appreciated correspondent
has written for The Leader an ar
ticle setting forth the inconsistency
of church members in drinking and
card-playing and entering generally
into the sins and pleasures of the
world. The writer sets forth quite
plainly the usual attitude Of the
sinner toward the saint who has
not attained perfection.
AS long as the world regards the
derelict church member as an indi-
vldual who fails in personal response
bility and devotion to an espoused
cause, the matter is not so serious
for I'VE are all just poor weak NOR
tails after ALL" but the danger is
in the reflection the deeds of the
faltering saint throws upon the
church itself, which is commonly
held responsible for his acts, and
in the influence his inconsistency
has upon children and those who
are looking to him for leadership.
Church people are expected to
maintain a high standard of moral
ity and social purity.
The Leader appreciates the ex-
preston from its correspondent
who has truthfully portrayed "the
way the world looks at it,, which
is generally understood.

THE MURDERoUs FOURTH"

The above caption may appear
extreme aud uncalled for; but it is
like the truth applied to many
things about which we are not in
formed or dislike to acknowledge.
Comfortable and happy in our own
homes and retreats we deem safe
because no fatality has visited us,
we are unmindfui that on THE
Glorious Fourth" many a little life
has gone out or its sunshine for
ever extinguished by death, the
loss of a limb or some other severe
injury.
Statistics of Independence Day
in America show the steady prog
ress of the safe and sane idea and
its beneticent results. For instance
in 1903, the table shows that on the
fourth 466 were killed and 1888
wounded; IN 1909 there were 215
killed, 5,092 wounded. after a
steady campaign through the inter-
vening years. In 1912 there were
20 killed and $50 wounded. showing
wonderful progress. When one
considers the fact that nearly 40,-
600 people were killed or injured

the ten years from 1908 to 1912 CO.

Statement From Banks.

D. L. Thompson, State Auditor,
has called on the banks of Mississ-
ippi for a statement of their con-
dition as of June 18. The auditor
looks upon these statements as
farcical. being of no value what
ever SO far as he has ever been able
to discover. but the law requires
them, and the banks must make a
show ing of some kind-just what
ever they please to send in must
stand, as the Auditor has no way
Of going behind their returns.
The banks also are requested to
furnish a statement to the Comp
troller Of the Currency. SO that he
may make up statement for the
use of the Monetary Commission.
These statements must show the
amount of gold. silver, copper and
nickels on hand, as, well as bank
notes, certificates, etc., and should
be as complete as possible to make
them.,

The Penitentiary Records.

Jackson. Miss. June 28. Mrs.
~. Nj. Spickard, secretary of the
Penitentiary Board Of Trustees,
has made up a statement of the
prison population for the month
ending June Is, in which she shows
that the number Of convicts has
steadily decreased. month by
month, until there are now more
than 100 fewer names on the rolls
than a year ago.
On May Is there were 1.727
'convicts, and 40 were received dur
ing the month, making the total
1857. For the same period 81 were
discharged, having completed their
terms: 18 were pardoned by the
Governor. A escaped. sentence was
suspended on / (Saucier of jackson
county, and 8 died, making 81
that have gone out, and leaving
the total number on hand ITO. Of
these 40 received during the month,
8 are doing time for manslaughter,
8 for murder and 5 for assault and
battery with intent to kill. This
means that just half the new con-
yicts for the month are sent up for
taking human life or attempting to
do so.
A close examination of the prison
roster shows a half dozen doctors,
an equal number of lawyers. nine
preachers and three bank cashiers
numbered among the above.

Bennett, the Convicted Bigamist, Goes
Back to Farm---Denied a Re-
hearing by Judge.
hearing by Judge

Jackson. Miss. June 27.-Judge
Henry has refused to reopen the
case of j. G. Bennett. the former
New Orleans and Jackson news
paper reporter. who was convicted
of bigamy in the Yazoo county
court. presided over by the same
Judge, in the spring of 1911. Ben
nett was arrested here about one
month after his marriage to Miss
Woodward, a Jackson school teach
er. and was confined in the Yazoo
City Jail, but few days before he
was called to trial. He declared,
and proved by former Sheriff Barris
and others of Yszoo City. that there
had been threats of mob violence
before the trial. but it was shown
also that he had a perfectly fair
trial.
Bennett is very bitter against
Judge Henry for overruliDg his
motion to review his case and give
him another chance, and speaks Of
him in the most uncomplimentary
terms.
A. A. Hammond, attorney for
Bennett, stated that he thought
Judge Henry had made a mistake
in refusing his motion for a re-
hearing. He addressed the court
at some length in defense of his
client, but to no effect. The dis
trict attorney made no rejoinder,
considering it unnecessary.

four high-grade Herefords, twelve
to fourteen months old. ard sold at
an average price of z 1-2 cents per
pound, or $942 for the lot. These
cattle have been dipped frequently

they would not have brought more
than 5 cents per pound-and there
would not have been SO many
pounds.
