for Forrest County.
The hundred or more ConfedAftte
pensioners Of Forrest county, as well
as those OF the other counties Of MIS-
Isissippi, may think themselves lucky
Iif they draw their pay checks, long
since due, by the first Of the new year.
It is barely possible that they will
not be paid off until the middle OF
january.
Because oil the facts that there is no
/ money i'll the state treasury at this
4 time for meeting these obligations,
and because Of a change in the, PEN
sion laws, and system Of handling the
applications, big, delay has resulted,
and murmurs are coming from every
section Of Mississippi as a result.
iii Forrest county, between $4,000
Land $4,000 win be paid out to the vet
Grams Of the war Of 81 and their de-
lpendents.
Exactly who will receive this money
never has been officially stated, as
the approved list has not been re
turned to Chancery Clerk Herbert
4 ellis, clerk OF the Forrest pension
board. 1t is more than certain, how
ever, that the recommendations aoi
the local board will be approved b.
! the state board, and that the loca
y pensioners so designated will hay,

i the new law governing the payment (
the teachers Of the counties. Th:

Mr.. Hughes has moi tried to scare
anybody. but has merely portrayed the
errors of the present administration
and set forth certain principles on
which the affairs OF the country should
be managed In the future.
There Is a political logic In his por-
trayal, the elimination Of which In the
mind OF the voter il expressed by the
frequent remark:

When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec
ord of the Administration the spokes-
mcn Of Mr.. Wilson cry: what would
you have doneY' They forget that It
Is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
gaa Is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
ind Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records, instead Of crying,
What would you have dore?" They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record Of the Admins
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down ONE bypath Of rhe-
tnrical hypothesis, all In the effort to
change the subject.
by their fruits We shall know
them When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
enor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filing the public
Offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after he
entered Office. AS Governor, he did
not resort to brave and beautiful
words as a substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful In his
use OF words, but he backed his words
with deeds. lie did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
~rhetorician, he vas not a fiatterer, he
was not too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. Wilson's spokesman seek to di-
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes Is making upon the record Of
the Administration by asking him,
What would you dor They are IN
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling to the memory Of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor OF New
York. II was then that he frst said
public office shall not be a private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom
Use There is this about Mr.. Hughes
that makes him so different from Mr..

'There are two things which can
not be successfully warmed over--a
cold dinner and an old love" This is
the comment of Chairman Vance &C.
Nc Cormick, CT the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, on the meeting OF
Col. Roosevelt and former President
Taft at the Union League; Club.
"From what l have read" added
Mccormick, "the widely advertised
love feast provided plenty to eat put
very little lope.
Many oft-fepeated sayings are not
always true. .2The above is one OF
them. The warnring7up Of a cold
dinner resulted in an Important dis
covery upon one occasion, When the
great st. Gothard tunnel through the
Alps had been completed the railroad
company: invited a number of guests
to make the first trip through the
mountains. Lunch was to be served
at a certain hour, but fer some rea-
son an order reached the chef to post
pone the feast for an hour. The chef
was greatly disturbed when ne re-
ccived the order, as he had begun the
preparation of the meal. The pota-
toes.he .was-fr frying observation-disclosures
cd, and he was compelled to allow
them to cool in the fat. Later he
was directed to hurry up the lunch,
and he took the chance of complet-
ing the cooking of the potatoes in
the grease in which they were sub
merged. To his establishment, he
found each spike" pulled, and that
they were more inviting than they
would have been had the fat not been
allowed to cool. This incident led to
the preparation of pulled fried pota-
toes, a highly-favored adjunct to a
good breakfast.

Ia sufferer from melancolia.
The above will recall thrilling
chapter in the political history OF
Virginia which runs back about half
! century. We refer to the rise and
fall of readjusterism.
At the beginning of the civil war
! the debt of Virginia amounted to
many millions of dollars. At least
one-third of the Old Dominion sub
sequently formed what is now known
as West Virginia. The counties
forming this new commonwealth re-
pudiated their portion of this debt
. and are repudiating it>Row. Property
in what had been left of Virginia had
!, been destroyed and the people of
eastern Virginia, governed by bayon-
etsland carpetbaggers, had been strip
ped of their belongings and in this
forlorn condition they found them
SELVES responsible for all Of this great
!, debt.; AS far bsek rs 1871, shertly
!, after the state re-ehtcred the union,
#readjusterism made. it's appearance.
This movement wa for the purpose
of entering into some compromise
with the bondholders. Some were in
favor of readiusting the debt, that

Sinia refused to come to the rescue,
claiming that most of the appropria-
lions made previous to the war had
been expended in Eastern Virginia.
Political leaders OF that day sue
ceeded liz sidetracking this perplex-
ing issue, but it was known that the
issue would have to be settled SOON
er or later. 1t broke out afresh in
1879, under the leadership Of Will

cratic candidate for Governor who
had appeared before several demo-

found himself in position to name

Riddleberger was one of the most
prominent of the party, he having
been the author Of the compromise
bill bearing his name. He had been
promised the nomination for United
States Senator if he would step aside
for Malone, and later he was elect

Congress.
His career was probably one OF the
most stormy since the days of Ben |

party was sounded in the fall of 1883. |
when it was etfectually showed under
in the election that year. It had been
a composite Observation-Disclosures

and Riddlebcrger were soon relcgat-
ed to private life and the party be-
came assimilated with the Ghmocratic
and republican organization of the
present day.
