millionaires to hold their purse
st things tighter than they did in the
last senatorial campaign. 1t did
not take a person with the keenness
nj its editor to see that somebody's
money was behind the republican
candidate in that campaign. There
were too many clubs formed, too
many bands hired and too many
meetings in the candidates interest
for the size of his bank roll. The
News was blind, indeed, if it did
not e this golden stream ba * of

With all its senses now alert and
its determination to see that money
is not improperly used by Senate,
Newlands, we trust that the News
will condemn the corrupt use Of
monev by the republican candidate
or his party friends. We are afraid,
however. that our trust will prove
a broken reed.

REPUBLICAN TACTICS

The Republican editors are do
ing their best to create ~dissension
in the democratic ranks for the
purpose Of defeating Senator New
lands next fall. They pat Ex-Goy-
ernor Dickerson on the back and
hope to use him as the tool to win
the s%enatorship with. Some of the
them never tire Of abusing Senator
Newlands in the hope that the
abuse will drive democrats away
from him. Such tactics are worse
than childish as every sensible man
knows.
The Carson News, owned by Sam
Plstt, is the ringleader. There
seems to be no limit TO it's gall
and no end to its vicious attacks on
the senator. In its last issue, it
accuses him of nearly all the
crimes in the calendar and pictures
him in prison stripes tor violating
the purity of election law.

a recent act of Congress another jury
could not have been selected before
the ensuing February, and, for the
sake of appearances, the defendant
was kept in Jail in the meantime, and
subsequently the case was set down
for the oath Of the month. On the
22nd of June, 1868, the defendant was
released on bail, an three months later
the indictment was "nolprossed."
The counsel defending the prisoner
during the trial were Gen. Merrick and
John G. Carlisle. That so prominent

have been allowed to walk the earth

GOVERNOR SLEEPS IN
LEAKE COUNTY SWAMP
OFFICIAL AUTOMOBILE BROKE
DOWN 18 MILES FROM
CARTHAGE.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. Ex-Governor
Earl Brewer spent Wednesday night
with the boot and screech owls, and
possibly wild cats, in the swamps of
Leake county. At least that is the
story that comes here in a special
dispatch from Carthage.
1t seems the governors automobile
broke down when he was about eigh.
teen miles from Carthage, and in a
dense swamp. Every effort to get
the car in shape to continue to Car
thage for the night failed, and the
chief executive was compelled to
make himself as comfortable as pos
sible in his touring automobile, while
the hours slipped by and his chauf-
feur tinkered around trying to get
the car in running order again. About
daybreak the driver succeeded in
righting the things, and the COVER
nor rode into Carthage tired and
hungry. He soon left for Neshoba,
in Neshoba county, where he deliver
ed an address shortly after the noon
hour before thousands of people who
attended the county fair at that place.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1914-08-28

Fifty years ago today the worlds
first railway mail car was given its
official test. Two mice were respon-
sible for the idea. Before that day
the mail was distributed according to
addresses at certain designated post
offices, which usually were the dis
tributing points of whole states. 1t
was slow and laborious work. At one
of these distributing points, Green
Bay, Mich, a pair of mice made their
home in a pouch that had lain in the
postofftce for several days. When
the pouch finally reached it's destina-
ton, near the upper shores of Lake
Superior, the receiving postmaster
found not only the rodent home-seek-
ers, but also a large family of little
mice. They had made beds of chewed-
up letters. The postmaster reported
the matter to the the Chicago office
and sent along the mice as an ex-
hibit which was received by George
B. Armstrong, the assistant postmas-
ter. To prevent a repetition of such
an occurrence, Armstrong sought to
speed up the mail service, and finally
evolved the idea of having the mail
distributed on the trains while in
transit. The plan was ridiculed. One
man declared: THE government will
have to employ a regiment of men
to follow the trains to pick up the
letters that would be blown out of
the cars" However, the first postal
car, an ordinary baggage car equipped
with racks and pigeon holes, made its
initial run from Chicago to Clinton,
Iowa, fifty years ago today.
