LOVES LABOR LOST

A young and enthusiastic golfer at
a dinner party started to enumerate
to his partner the. details of a golf
match that he had been playing that
day. It was not until dessert was
brought in that he suddenly be-
thought himself that he had been
talking all the time; indeed, the
young lady at his side had not said
a single word during the progress Of
the meal. 81 am afraid Have been
boring you with this talk" he said, in
half apology. ooh, no-not at ALI"
was the polite response. "Only, what

A GENTLE HINT

An old fisherman on the first Of

season used to take splendid speci--
men to a gentleman who always gave
him a tip. One morning the gentle
man was very busy, and when the
old man brought the fish he thanked
him hurriedly and, forgetting his tip,
bent over his desk again. The old
man hesitated moment, and then
cleared his throat. Sir" he said,
would you be so kind as to put it in
writin' that We didn't give me no tip
this time, or my wifeH think I've
gone and spent it on rum?"

CANNING INDUSTRY
IS A GOOD PAYER
Believed by Leading Citiznes That
It is Something That Should
Be Taken Up Here.

That canning fruit and vegetables
can be :made a prohtabIe industry
during tho spring and summer months
during the time when the oysters and
shrimp are out of season is the belief
of w. P. Kennedy, a leading factor
in the firm of Kennedy-Lopey Com-
pany, one of the representative cam
Ting concerns in Biloxi. Mr.. Ken
nedy's belief in this matter is
strong enough to cause him
to go into the question actively with
a view ef ascertaining this summer
what would be the result and
whether packing such products
would really be profitable, as it seems
reasonable to him that it should.
It is the belief of several leading
citizens that the same matter should
be taken up here. 1t is proving profit
able in many PLACES.

NEW COUNTY
WANTED FOR
THIS STATE
RE- DIVISION WILL BE DEMANDED
Of MISSISSIPPI IN 1914.
JACKSON AS COUNTY SEAT.
Proposition Is An Old One And
Defeated In Past For Various
Reasons.

Jackson, Miss. May 22-Another
new county is going to be demanded
at the hands Of the present Legis-
lature, when it meats in regular ses-
sion in January, 1914. The propo-
Siton to create a new county with
Jackson as the capital, or county
town, is an old one, but heretofore
it has been defeated for one reason
and another-the last time because
McLaurin was Governor, and, as a
citizen of Rankin county, he oppos-
ed giving a slice of that territory to
form the new county, and informed
the promoters of the bill that was
being prepared by members of the
Legislature, he would veto it if
passed.
The idea then was to take the
First District of Kinds county, three
townships off the lower end of Mad
ison, and eight or nine townships off
tie western side of Rankin to form
the new county. This would have
mlde very compact and almost
square new county, with large
population, and was demanded by a
great majority of the people.
There always has been reason
and a demand for new county here,
ard there are just as many, if not
more, to-day than ever. Citizens
of Rankn-that is those on the Wests
ern side of the county. do all their
business at Jackson, and they know
ii at in the event a new county is
organized good roads will be con-
s.ructed in their direction.
The Board of Trade will be CALLED
on to take the matter up at an early
day, and there are members of the
present board who were leaders in
tie old movement Of years ago to
c cate a neN county. They are Of
tie same way of thicking to-day,
aud will use every effort to bring
about the results this time. 1t Is
not believed there will be any oppo-
lion by the time the Legislature
a a,sembles, save perhaps, from Bran
con, the capital of Rankin couaty.

RIGHTS ARE WANTED
FOR THE COAST
Move To Extract Promises For
Support In School Claims at
Extra Session.

Biloxi, Miss, May 22-Since Gov
ernor Brewer has called an extra
session of the legislature at which
tie levee bond issue will be taken up,
it is suggested by a number of coast
people that the South Mississippi
representatives would ut this time
have an excellent oprortunity to ex-
tract from the representatives from
other parts of the state promise to
give this section justice regarding
Of representatives and
distribution of school funds at the
coming regular session. In both
these matters South Mlssissippians
'eel as rule that they have been
denied justice for number of years.
Discussing the approaching special
session, Representative Charles L.
Rushing declared the delta people
had always co-opera.ed with the rep
resentatives from South Mississippi
pretty well but that it was the peo-
pie of the more northerly section
who usually antagonized the efforts
of South Mississippi to get justice.

WOULD UNITE ALL
PROTESTANT SECTS
General Synod of Lutheran Church
Told That Strides Toward
Ideals Are Being Made

Atchison, Kan, May 22.- A
Universal Christian church," in
which Ill protestant sects shall be
united, is the church of the future,
and rapid strides toward the accom-
pllshment of such an ideal are being
made, according to statements by
Rev. Junius B. Remensnyder, pastor
of ST, james Lutheran Church, New
York City, who preached the synod
ical sermon at the opening here
Of the forty-fifth biennial convention
of the General Synod of the Luther
an Church.
Among other statements in the
Synodical sermon were:
Rev ivalism has failed as a
means of conversion.
The Lutheran is no puritanic
church. Temperance, not abstin-
ence, as to the good things and the
innocent pleasures of life is its rule.
This ao lords with the modern larger
view OF the religious life."

Gerard Brandon, one Of the lead

COURT REvERSES LIFE
IMPRISONMENT CASE
Supreme Judges Don't Uphold
Sentence Against Man Con-
victed of Daughters
Assault.

Jackson, Miss, May 22.-Con-
spicuous among criminal cases hand
ed down by the Supreme Court
judges was that of j. E. Simmons
("Red Jim,") handled by Justice
Cook. 1t was an appeal from a
verdict of guilty of criminal assault
on his 14-year old daughter and
sentence to life Imprisonment, in
Lincoln County Circuit Court, where
the case was tried on change of
venue from Pike County. Justice
Cook referred to the revolving details
brought out during the trial at Brook
haven.
Apparently the case for the prose-
cuton was built up, as the court
observed, on hearsay evidence,
which while it would doubtless be
competent as evidence to prove the
case, without the substantiating
evidence of the girl herself, it would
not be given proper weight.
1t appears the prosecutriX was not
placed on the stand, and her ad-
to Il e physicians who ex-
amined her and to others outside the
court could not be admitted.
For this principal reason the case
must be reversed and remandel.

we're planted only last November.
