LET'S DO SOME ADVERTISING.

Of course the people of Mississippi are
Of the splendid advantages possessed
by the State and the excellence of our pro-
ducts, but does the other man know? If he
doesn't how are we to get the information
to him? Some effective advertising is nee
essary.

August 26th and return on September 18th,
offers an opportunity that cannot be over
looked to bring many of these things to the
favorable attention of thousands Of people
in other sections.
Hundreds Of Mississippians are going
to the big fair anyway. Many Of them have
already gone, but would it not be we'll for
as many as possible to arrange to make the
trip with this special and do a little some
thing to help the old home State along?
It really costs less to make the trip on
this train than on the regular trains. Many
courtesies will be shown the party that an
individual would not have an opportunity of
enjoying. Then why not arrange to go with
this party and assist in the good work
undertaken?
There is a mistaken impression that
the train will only carry county sponsors
and officials. Good people to the extent Of
more than 100 can be accommodated besides
the sponsors and officials. A cordial invita-
ton is extended to come along and join the
party,
Mississippians, you who are going to
the Exposition anyway, won't o go with
the Grown in Mississippi special and add
your mite to the effort to popularize our
products and let the world know something
concerning the best State in the Union?

A BANKRUPT INDUSTRY.

Some time ago suit was filed in one of
the local courts against one of the many
cola bottlng companies, claiming large
damages because a consumer was made very
sick and his life was threatened by the pres
ence OF a bug, a grasshopper, a fishing worm
or some other insect, which he claims was
found In the liquid drank. Testimony was
listened to, given in by sworn witnesses, and
the jury OF the peers of the plaintiff weighed
well and truly this evidence and considered
of its verdict, and found that the plaintiff
was entitled to a considerable sum in dam
which was assessed against the cola
company, together with the costs of the suit.
Then and there damage suits instantly
sprung up, like Jonah's gourd, in a night.
The colored man and brother made common
cause with the contingent fee lawyer, and it
was no trouble at all to get witnesses to
swear hat bottles of cola were sold in the
open market that contained in addition to
the merchantable fluid this or that kind of
poisonous vermin that made the consumer
suffer great torment and loss Of time, as
well as imperiling his life. The case re
versed by the supreme court last Saturday
rendered this new-bloWn and most promis-
ing industry entirely bankrupt. The court
held, in effect, that where a manufacturer
used ordinary precautions and employed
only the best machinery known to advanced
science that he could not be held for an
occasional accident, against which no pru-
dence or care could prevail. The end thus
put to the traffic will put an end to a great
many emplric lawsuits, and will relieve the
courts Of much unnecessary work. Mem.

THE LAW IS WRONG.

A friend of the Star-Ledger was recent
|ly defending the existing fee system on the
ground that the system wa all right be-
cause it was the law.
That is the milk in the ~coconut; the
law is wrong, and should be changed.
There is no blame attached to men tax
ing what the law gives them when they
were elected with that understanding. But
the law gives them too much in many cases,
and as applied to some offices probably
not enough.
The only fair and square way in the last
analysis, is to change the law and put every
official on a salary commensurate with the
services performed.
) The ~Star-Ledger's fight is against the
law-measures rather than men.
Cutting down the fees is. suggested, and
that would be better than nothing, but
at best would only be a palliative, with the
old system still On. Of course if the Legis-
|lature in its wisdom sees proper to reduce
some Of the fees OF cost rather, after putting
the offices on salary basis it may be well,
But let us not lose Sight of the fact
that the law is wrong, and the present sys-
TEN wrong. -Kosclusko Star-Ledger.

FAVOR SALARY BASIS.

The leading papers of the State
advocating the salary basis for
county officials, among the num-
Der we are glad to note the
Greenwood Commonwealth and
the Newton Record, are of the
same opinion as the junior editor
OF the Star-Ledger as to the
proper way to make the change.
Charge a reasonable fee for the
work performed, pay your coun-
ty officials a reasonable salary,
and let the over-plus 60 into the
county Treasury. This is the
sensible way. BY this plan the
entire citizenship of the county
will be benefited and not a spe-
cial few. BY this plan all of the
people will derive benefits from all
the money that is now enriching
county officials.

that it will not do to cut wheat too green, or

ing-much depending upon the weather-in
order to give the wheat a chance to dry out
so as to be fit for milling"

There is a pretty wide difference Of
opinion as to the decision Of the committee
recently appointed to designate the most
distinguished statesman among y dead.
Some are partial to Lamar and to jefferson
Davis, both of whom are entitled to great
consideration for the valuable services they
rendered their country, in time of war and
peace-but of all the many distinguished
patriots, lawyers and citizens of whom Missis,,
sippi has ever had occasion to boast, none OF
them have ever out-classed the great, glor-
ious and rugged Gen. j. z. George, whom
the editor Of The Commonwealth unhesltat-
ingly believes to have been the greatest and
most distinguished statesman among MIS-
sissippi's long list of illustrious dead.
As to the most distinguished living Mis-
sissippi statesman, the naming OF John
Sharp Williams was eminently correct and
the committee could not have conscientious
ly decided otherwise.

OUR MOST DISTINGUISHED
LIVING STATESMAN,

BY inference at least the Wash.
ng Star suggests editorially that
he Mississippi committee could
nave chosen better in its selection
IF the States most distinguished
among the dead. JEFF
Davis, it is minated would
have been q wiser choice. The
Star, which is regarded as the
capitals leading paper, applauds
the selection of Senator John
Williams as the most dis
living statesman. 1t
There will be no quarrel with
the judgment just proclaimed by
a committee appointed for the
purpose, that John Sharp Will
Hams is. among the living, Missis-
sippfs most distinguished states.
man.
Although not an old man, and
still in health and strength, Mr..
Williams is a veteran in the pub
lie service. He was for years a
prominent member of the House,
and for a time his party's leader
there. Promoted to the senate
he became and is now, a leader
in that body. He has presided
over a Democratic national con-
vention, and in campaign years, is
in great demand for the stump.
Undoubtedly he is a man of emf
hence.
The compliment will be both
pleasing and useful to MI. Will
liams. 1t probably foreshadows
his reelection to the senate. In
his race against Mr.. Vardaman a
few years ago he won by only a
very narrow margin. But since
then MIR. Vardaman has won over
another competitor, and is now
Mr.. Williams senatorial colleague.
With Mr.. Vardaman thus pro-
vided for, Mr.. Williams should
have no trouble about succeeding
himself.
There may not be such gen.
eral agreement to the committees
judgment that l.. @. c. Lamar is the
States most distinguished among
the dead. Mr.. Lamar was q very
able and attractive man, an ora
tor of power, though leaving but
few specimens of his power, and
he filled a large space in public
affairs after the civil war. He
served for years in the senate,
then for a short time as Secretary
OF the Interior, and died q mem
Der of the Supreme Court.
But there was Henry S. Foote,
an antebellum senator; there was
Sergeant S. Prentiss, one of the
most brilliant orators of the day,
in Congress or out; and there was
Jefferson Davis, who served in
the Senate, in Pierce's cabinet as
Secretary of War, and closed his
public career as President of the
Southern Confederacy. They
were regarded by Mississippians
as giants while in the flesh.
"Foote and Prentiss, it is true,
are but memories. The former
was the most peppery public man
of his day, while Prentiss was low
able and personally popular in the
highest degree. Both have been
dead many years. May not Mr..
Lamar's fame fade somewhat as
theirs has done.
Mr.. Davis will continue to bulk
large. He played not only a
striking but a strong part. He Was
a strong man, both in intellect and
in resolution. He was more SOL
der than statesman, and showed
a disposition at times to conduct
both the civil and military affairs
of the Confederacy.
Neither Lamar, nor PrentisS
nor Davis was a native of MiSsS-
sippi. Lamar was born in Geor-
gia, Prentiss in Maine and Davis
in Kentucky, but they found their
opportunities in the State with
which their names and flames are
inseparably associated"
