This, like the primary election

The Reveille is publishing to-
day historical sketch made from
letter written to the director of
Archives and History, MIR. Dunbar
Rowland, by Mr.. ]. McC. Martin
of Port Gibson for the purpose of
correcting some erroneous publ.
cations regarding the establish
ment of the Industrial Institute
and College at Columbus. Mrs.
o. A. Hastings and Mr.. Martin
were absolutely the originators of
the idea, and the latter drew the
bill and ably steered it through the
state Legislature, Mr.. Martin rep.
resenting Claiborne county in the
senate at the time.
Mr.. Martin mentions having had
pictures takeu of the Hastings res
idence, in which the bill was draft
ed, and suggests that steps be
taken to preserve the building. In
years to come the county will
point with pride to the facts relat-
ed in the letter referred to, and
will regret that this house was not
p 5erved as mortal.
1t is regrettabIe that Claiborne
people take SO little interest in the
rich historical lore with which the
county is filled. There is scarcely
an old building, or a stream, or
hill which does not have some
thrilling act or scene connected
with it. The writer has often
wondered if there will ever be any
greater appreciation of this great
section than now exists.

There are some disgraceful places
In town which are menaces to
health. In the alley in the rear OF
the Mississippi Southern Bank
can be found filth of almost any
character. Several stores and
cabins use the place as a general
dumping ground. Decayed build
ings add to the disgusting appear
ance. On the top Of oil or other
barrels stands stagnant water
which is literally filled with wig
glers. Mosquitoes are plentiful,
of course. Other places in town
are bad. The town should have
these places looked into.

Violated New Liquor Law.

Will Phillips, a colored boy about
90 years of age, was convicted be-
fore Mayor Smith Monday of hav-
ing more than a quart of liquo- in
his possession, and was fined 500
and costs, the minimum penalty.
Phillips was seen by officer Phillips
returnipg'from Vicksburg Saturday
night with several bottles of the
tempting beverage in sack. He
was arrested and the liquor con.
6scated. He was tried before
Jury, and 1t developed at the trial
that the larger part of the cargo
was bought for the deputy sheriff
and some of the other was pur.
chased to slake the thirst of a
coIored friend of the accused.
The defendant made no effort to
conceal his acts at the time of ar
rest, nor did he deny having the
goods In his possession; and Dep.
uty Sheriff Mason testified that he
had requested the defendant to buy
two quarts for him. The only
plea made by his attorney, Mr..
Anderson, was that ii he did not
intend selling the liquor he had
not violated the law, as one part
of the section states that the pos
session of more than a quart is
prime facie evidence that the ac-
cused intended to sell liquor.
Notwithstanding this apparent evil
dence that the defendant intended
to sell, the other evidence plainly
indicated that he was simply &C.
commodating friends. However,
the jury did not take this view of
the question, and the case may
finally go to the supreme court on
this technicality.

A Shifting State Boundary.

The supreme court of the Untct
States has on hand difficult question
in the settlement Of the boundary lint
between New Hampshire and Vermont
Arriving somewhat late on the scene, tn,
new state of Vermont had TO accept, il
1901, the boundary which the king OF
England had aecommodatingly set fol
New Hampshire. namely, the western
bank of the Connecticut river The fix
ing of the bank of any stream, as a
border instead OF the middle OF the main
current, wherever that may flow, is al
ways productive OF trouble and dispute,
for the banks of streams often change,
and the question must arise whether
the boundary changes with them. All
islands in the Connecticut, opposite her
territory, belong to New Hampshire But
islands have become joined to the YER
mont mainland Do they by this pro-
cess become part of Vermont? The
current has shifted so as to convert into
an island what has been a part OF YER
mont mainland. Does that shift the
territory into New Hampshire! Land
has been made on the Vermont side, and
costly mills have been built there, on
which both states have attempted TO coll
lect taxes. TO which do the taxes be-
long? A great industrial dam has flood
ed Vermont meadows in and above Yer
non and Brattleboro. Does that flooded
land now belong to New Hampshire and
. la IL - in "a
as the water is drawn off
Questions like these, all of which are
founded upon actual conditions or occur
rences, suggest the impossibility OF main.
tanning that kind of boundary between
American states. No doubt the supreme
court, being governed by scrupulous re-
spect for the letter of the law, will be
inclined to defend the authority of the
dead hand of England's king, but it viii
certainly devolve upon the court to pro-
vide, ii possible, some other sort OF
boundary between the states than a
movable one. 1t would be a strange thing
if the court should give territorial au-
thority to New Hampshire over manu-
featuring establishments which have been
erected within the accepted limits of
Vermont towns, simply because por-

of time been filled in.
Boundary questions between states Of
the union have frequently arisen, and
they have been settled amicably in all /
cases. Massachusetts, has gained land !
from Rhode Island, and some of that
land, being in the city of Fall River, is
very valuable. There is, indeed. scarce
y boundary between the states which
has not been affected by controversy.
But American states settle such con-
quite peaceably in all cases.
