A Good Motto.

Once in a while you will discover
a newspaper that carries motto
regularly in print, but the most
unique thing of >the kind was dis
covered in an exchange from Kansas.
Its motto is Lie, Steal, Drink and
Swear and it is thus explained BY
the editor: When you lie, let it. be
to pleasant dreams; when you steal.
let 1t be away from immoral associ.
-ates; when you drink, let it be pure
water; when you swear, let it be
that you will patronize your home

not send out Of town to have your
work done Fairnont Sentinel.

Give Us Good Connections First.

The Times has long favored the
removal of the county seat to Mil

be glad to have it. Milaca is the

is much more accessible to the

His Luster Not Dimmed.

In the Maine legislature bill
calls for a tax of $40 each on cats,
and another bill provides for
closed season for bullfrogs. These
are good samples of the fool business
in the forty legislatures in session
this year: but they do not dim the
luster of the really serious effort Of
a western legislator to pass a bill to
keep bees off the public roads. Phil

NOTES.


Princeton clearly demonstrated in
the final innings that it was easily
the equal of the Anoka nine and if
these teams clash again the contest
will undoubtedly be a real hummer.
Marshal Wilkes and gentleman
from Anoka acted as umpires and
their decisions were generally APP
proved of. i
Peterson. who is suffering with a
lame arm, was notin the Princeton
lineup and his batting was missed.
1t is to be hoped he will be back in
the game soon.
The Anoka school has speedy
team in the field, but had Princeton
frightened up earlier in the game
there is no doubt but what the re-
suit would have been different.
Even the best of teams lose an oc-
casional game, however.
Princeton secured only S hits, but
they all came when they were
needed, and that is what counts.
s. The high school has no game
scheduled for this week, but the
town team will be seen in action
next Sunday, when the Nemics of
st. Cloud will clash with. Olson IS

A. H. CONN PARDONED.
KazIehurst Lawyer Who Stole $4,000
From Bank Gets Lenieney
from Governor.

Gov. Brewer has granted a pars
don to A. II. Conn. the young law
yer of HazIehurst who confessed to
slipping into the Bank of Hazle-
hurst at HazIehurst a year ago and
taking about $4,000 during the con-
fusion incident to an automobile
parade being held in that city.
Conn was one of the best known
young lawyers of t1azlehurst, and
at first was not suspected of having
been implicated in the robbery.
Detectives from the Burns agency
were engaged, and one of them. by
shrewd work, succeeded in obtain
ing Information from Conn himself
that led to his arrest and subse-
quent confesson. Conn was tried
and sentenced to serve two year
term in the penitentiary.
Grand larceny was the charge on
which Conn was convicted. and he
was taken to the Oakley convict
farm to begin serving his SEN
tence. That was in November of
last year
The governor believes that Conn
has learned a lesson and has been
sufficiently punished for stealing
the moLey. all of which was re-
turned to the bank a few weeks
after the robbery.
Conn's office was in the bank
building and in an evil moment he
fell victim to temptation While
employees of the bank went to the
SIDE walk to look at the automobile
parade the young lawyer, 1nobserv-
ed, went into the bank from rear
door, took a bundle of bills from a
desk, and returned to his office.
The pardon was recommended by a
large number of citizens of Hazle-
hurst 1t was granted on the con-
dition that the lawyer obey all Of
the laws of the state in the future.

MORE SENATORIAL LOGIC IN BILBO'S
TRIUMPH.

The following interesting specu-
Iaticn upon the above feature of
primary results is quoted from the
Clarion-L Ledger:
In 1916 there will be an elect
ion for United States senator, to
select successor to John Sharp
Williams, when either he or some
one else will be chosen. For
while the impression prevailed
that Bilbo wuold be his principal
opponent. but the news is now
given out by close friends of the

CLASSY SET" OF CITIZENS.

Gov Brewer has pardoned A. II,
Conn, of Hazlehurst. as will be
seen elsewhere.
If Conn, had on his knees, impor-
tuned the Governor to let him
serve out his sentence of two years,
and plead his guilt and its inAu-
ence and his knowledge of the law
he would have raised himself in
the estimation of thinking people.
But Conn. Ike all the rest of big
criminals who have been pardoned,

WILL URGE JACKSON HIGHWAY
TO COME THROUGH THIS STATE.

Lieutenant Governor and Govern.
or Elect Theo. &. Bilbo is in Nash
vile, Tenn to attend the Jackson
Highway Convention and freely
discussed the route that he believes
should be adopted from Nashville
to New Orleans. at the same time
telling what ideas he entertained
regarding other highways.
Il confess that | strongly favor
the historic route over which An
drew Jackson travelled. and which
really was laid out as u military
highway in the war of 1872" said
Mr.. Bilbo, and continued:
II may be called upon to say
something in Nashville and if so
| intend to nrge the historic route,
from Nashville through several
Alabama counties near the Missis-
slppi border line. and through CO.
iunbus. Meridian and Hatties-
burg. then through parts If La
mar. Pearl River and other south
ern counties to New Orleans.
II am a strong advocate of good
roads and these movements for
great highways have my most cor
dial support. l believe that there
is a great necessity for a highway
from Memphis to Gulfport, and if
the Jacks on highway route is Sc
cured as indicated then we should
all work to get a highway from
Memphis to GuIfport via Jackson
and Hattiesburg. for at the latter
point 1t would connect with the
Jackson Highway. If this is ac-
complished Mississippi would be
we'll supplied with great high
ways. for 1 am sure it is but
question of a short time until the
highway from Vicksburg, via jack
son, is completed. We then
would have great east and west
highway. connecting with the
south and north highway from
Memphis to GuIfport, or the Jack
son higwhay. in the eastern part of
the state. =
Mr, Bilbo is very enthusiastic
over the highway propositions and
VIII use his influence while in
Nashville to secure the Jackson
highway through Mississippi

LETTER FROM GOV.- ELECT BILBO.

The following letter has been adj
dressed to the newly elected repre-
sentatiyes of the forthcoming Mis-
slEsippi legislature. which convenes
| in January. by Gov Elect Bilbo:
Permit me to congratulate you
upon your selection by the people
of your county as representative at
the next session Of the Mississippi
Legislature,
AS co-laborer, | write to as
sare you of my readiness to coop
crate with you in giving to the
people of Mississippi the most sue
cessful administration of her law
making and governmental affairs
in the history of the state.
I'VE have much work ahead of
US, if we meet the requirements of
the people of Mississippi. The
work is too urgent and important
to be sidetracked to play the game
of politics, and regardless of
whether you did or did not sup
port me as a candidate for govern
or, want your assistance in CIV

some progressive and constructive
legislation, that will be absolutely
necessary before we can ever place
our state upon the highway to
progress and development Let US
forget the unpleasant incidents
connected with the recent cam
paign and all stand together for
the best interest of Mississippi
II would insist that you do not
forget that the enemies of guod
government are always on the alert
to defeat the efforts of those who
are true to the welfare of the state,
and to the prosperity of the great
masses of the people. The corpo-
rate influence is always busy IN
their efforts to place their sympa-
thizers in positions of trust and
responsibility. Regardless of your
former political affiliations, permit
me to suggest that you do not be
in a hurry to commit yourself for
the various Offices to be filled In
the organization of the legislature.
because it is there that the enemies
Of good government get ia their
work. Why not wait until you
have made a thorough investigation
as to who the real friends OF good
government before pledgipg your
support to any one.
Assuring you IN advance of my
appreciation of your help and CO.
operation in giving to the people
Of Mississippi a successful adminis-
tratlon, and with the further as
surance that | have no ambition
other than to make good govern

QUIN ON PROBLEMS OF CONGRESS.
Sees Little Prospect For Credit Bill
at Next Session Of Nations
Law Makers.

Congressman Percy E. Quin, of
the seventh Mississippi district.
sees very little prospect for the en-
actment of rural credit legislation
at the approaching session of con-
gress.
The chief trouble is that the
leaders in our party do not seem
to realize the vital need of legisla-
tion of this character, and it is
hard to impress them with the fact
that this is the very weakest point
in our currency system.
II believe that eventually we
will have rural credit banks under
federal supervision, but 1t may
take several years to get the neces.
sary legislation enacted
In the meantime 1t would be a
good idea for the various states to
90 ahead and establish these rural
credit banks. 1t is a good subject
for the lawmakers Of Mississippi to
discuss at the January session. f"
