But He Was No Yankee.

Mr.. Israel Zangwill, the famous au-
thor, has aroused q good deal ofscrfti-
cism lately owing to his attitude
towards the war.
The author of The Children of the
Ghetto" is n of the wittiest of our
literary men, and as an after-dinner
speaker he has few rivals.
Shortly after he was married Mr..
Zangwill went with his wife to Amer
lea where they were entertained by
some prominent citizens at a wall-
known New York club.
After the dinner an admiral who was
present, proposed Mr.. ZangwiITs
health, and remarked that it was a pity
they could not claim him as q citizen
of the United States.
oh" said Mr.. Zangwill, with q
smile, but l do belong to one of the
United States, through my wife. by
marriage"
Everyone was much puzzled, for
Mrs. Zangwill was certainly English;
but 1t was she herself who explained
the mystery.
1T was a joke" she said sadly; he
does belong to the united state-the
married state. do you see?"-Ex

If we accept Professor Atkinson's

placed by the census at only SIG, 159,-
616,O6S in 1860, and at only a little
more than $50, coo, 000, 600 in d~epreciat-
ed currency even five years after the
wal had ended, it is seen that the
struggle between the states cost be-
tween one-fourth and one-half of their
then existing wealth.
ALI calculations as t what wars
cost are subject to g~rievous and even
monumental errors, Albert w. Atwood

Feeling that Lee county ought to
send at least one hundred dollars, this
local call is made asking for such other
contributions of one dollar each from
any other parties as are willing to help.
But for the efforts Of the League we
would not have had the present laws,
and but for its existence an election
would have been called, so we ought to
stay with them for this small amount
anyway. Individually, have devoted
about a weeks time toward getting
people to withdraw from the petition
for ar election and otherwise trimming
the same down, and | feel sure that
there are many people in Lee county
who will be glad to give one dollar to
this splendid organization. The follow
ing persons have contributed one dollar

A Gard

To the voters of the Northern,
or Third. Supreme Court dis
trict of the State of Mississippi.
Gentlemen:
/ have been actively engaged
in the prosecution of my cam
paign for reelection as Judge of
the Supreme Court since the ad-
journmento of court on the 9Th,
inst. | find that the only thing
that is being urged against my
re election is the fact that | once
represented as attorney the Rail-
roads in Monroe county. OF
course, this would not in anyway
prevent me from making a good
Judge, but the fact is that for
two and a half years before my
appointment upon the Supreme
bench l had not represented any
railroad at all. On the contrary
my law firm during that time
represented parties suing all
three of these railroads.. There
fore at the time of my appoint
ment, | was representing people
suing railroads and not any rail-
road company. You will there
fore see that there is absolutely
no merit in this contention.
If | am elected | promise to
serve out the term of office for
which | am chosen. Each of my
opponents now holds an honor
able and responsible position to
which he was elected by the
people and each of them will
have at least two years more to
serve from next January. You
will therefore see that by re-elec-
ting me you continue me in the
office which | now hold and you
continue each of my opponents in
the Office to which the people of
their Districts have chosen them,
thereby giving the three Of us an
opportunity to fulfill our contracts
made with the people at the time
of our election.
If you believe that | am compe-
tent and am fulfilling the high
trust and responsibilities of this
office then | earnestly solicit your
active support in this election.
Assuring you that | shall con-
tinue in the future as / have
done in the past to devote my
entire time and attention to
making you a faithful and efic.
lent public servant, | am,
Sincerely yours,

Help the League

AS is now generally known, petitions
asking for the temperance laws passed
by the recent session of the legislature
to be referred to the people for a vote,
have been lately filed with the Secre-
tary of State. Through the medium of
the Anti-Saloon League an Injunction
was obtained against the Secretary of
State restraining him from ordering an
election on these petitions, which in
junction was heard on motion to dis
solve before the Chancery Court at
jackson and the motion was overruled
and there will be no election ordered.
unless the ruling of the chancellor is
reversed by the supreme court.
In making this fight the Anti Saloon
League has not had to pay any attorn-
eys fees, as fortunately there were
several lawyers In Jackson sufficiently
interested in the public welfare to vol
unteer their services, but the League
was put to considerable expense o n
account of extra clerical help in the
way of stenographers, clerks, etc.
and being dependent entirely on public
subscriptions for its funds, is now be-
hind several hundred dollars and is inI
immediate need of financial help from
those in favor of strict temperance
and the enforcement Of the same.

 Having been informed that many of the merchants of the state have raised the prices of necessities quite high the officials of each town are hereby di-. rected to enter the stores. inspect the stocks of goods and put a fair price on same.

 Before leaving here members of the delegation are said to have told friends they would present Sonora conditions in their true light, telling the first chief'' how merchants have been or are being driven into bankruptcy by the enforced use of Carranza currency, that laborers refuse to accept 1t for their work and that a new revolt may grow out of the monetary situation unless it is remedied at once.
