Short and Sweet

While George Weston was writing his
new novel, MARY Minds Her Business"
just published by Dodd, Mead & Co., he
received letter from metropolitan
literary editor asking for short article,
including a sketch Of his life, favorite
recreation, favorite occupations, favor
ite authors. etc. "My favorite birth
place. replied the author, "is either
Charleston, S. c., or Boston, Mass, don't
care which. My favorite reading is q
good. fat check made payable to my
own order. My favorite saying is Man
is the only Animal that Blushes--or
Needs to- My favorite occupation is
listening to the dominic down the hill
trying to crank his fivver on a cold
morning. And my favorite hope is that
Mary Minds Her Business will give the
women of the world squarer deal than
they ever had yet"

W. Macdonald, tells in his "reminiscences
an amusing story about his sister and
the authors mother, Mrs. John Lock-

liant sisters, one of whom was Lady
Burne-Jones, and was early distin-

IN there have been number of
biographies Of General Wood
presented for the study of the
American people. No other candidate
for nomination at the two great con-
yentions to be held this summer has
received such attention at the hands of
the scribes. The reason is to be found
in the plain truth that Leonard Wood
is man with an appeal. His career
OF service has been distinctly human
and humane, and not a record to be
set down in pages that relate the dry
as-dust achievement of the party poll
tician who hews to the line OF reg
u!arity
hermann Hagedorn, in his THAT
Human Being, Leonard Wood" (Har-
court, Brace e. Howe), has given the
American people a pocket sketch of
Leonard Wood. He begins, very ap-
p1opriately, with the generals superb
handling of the Gary trouble. and then
with this picture of recent event
fresh in our minds, swings US back in
series of flmlike, effective and con-
vincing views, physical and mental,
over the salient moments of Woods
life from the splendid Cuba days down
to the close of the late war We are
made to feel, to sense the sane whole
ness Of the man, his freedom from
cant, his ability to weigh and to act,
to meet all men as one with them in
all stations.
We thinking men and women of the
United States are beginning to realize,
with Il mighty swift growth of per
ccption, that in these bewildcring days
we need a human being at our head
in Washington. Hermann Hagedorn has
aided those Of US who have read his
book to the conclusion that the nation
will be extremely safe under the di-
rection of one who has proved him
self surgeon, soldier and stabilizer.
The wind-up Of this little book is a
genuine set-to with the present Ad-
ministration. Hagedorn goes into &C
ton with bare fists and leaves bits
Of human wreckage strewn around the
ring. With jabs Of satire and swings
of hefty, honest hate, he raises the

PEPTQ MANGAN FOR
Spring FEVER
Spring DAYS Are TreacherOus--
Germs Don't Disappear With Cold
Weather.
AND BLOOD is SLUGGISH AND
WEAK.
Don't Take Chances If You Feel
Bad. Enrich Your Blood With
PeptO-Mangan.

There is great deal of serious
sickness in the Spring.
And it is easy to see why. Long
weeks spent in doors, too little ex-
ercise and fresh air. winter sickness
not entirely over with, generally
lowed vitality. Blood weak and
sluggish. Then come fine Spring
days-that are not as warm as they
seem; or sudden changes in the wea-
Their, and you haven't taken proper
precautions.
Vigorous, red-blooded people don't
often get sick. If you're not feeling
your best, get Pepto-Mangan of
your druggist and take it to build
up your blood. This effective and
agreeable tonic has been tested for
over thirty years, and physicians.
everywhere, recommend it for rum
down, pale and anemic people.
The whole family should take Pep
to-Mangan-it is good health in
surance. Besides, what a joy it is
to feel fit and fine-ready for any
thing! To have an abundance of
energy and enthusiasm.
Pepto- Mangan is for sale at your
druggists, and in both liquid and
tablet form. There is no difference
in medicinal value. Take whichever
you prefer. But to make. sure you
get the genuine, ask for "Gude's
Pepto- Maagnn" and see that the
name "Gude's" is on the package.

to PROSTATE our Industrial pursuits
and to destroy our social system.
1t knows no relenting or hesita-
ton in its purposes; it stops not in
its march of aggression, and leaves
Ius no room to hope for cessation or
por pause.
1t has recently obtained control
of the government by the prosecu-
ton of its unhallowed schemes, and
destroyed the last expectation of
living together in friendship and
brotherhood.
Utter subjugation awaits US in
the Union if we should consent
longer to remain in it. 1t is not a
matter of choice, but of necessity.
We must either submit to degrada-
ton, and to the loss of property
worth four billions of money, or we
must secede from the Union framed
by our fathers, to secure this as
we'll every other species Of prop
erty For far less cause than this
our Fathers separated from the
Crown of England.
All these charges were true. The
very existence of the people of the
South was threatened, and there
were but two courses open to them.
They had either to submit peace
fully to a government absolutely
hostile to them and their interests.
or to separate themselves from the
Union and form Confederacy
which was friendly to their exist
lence.
/ Now after more than fifty years
and after all hostility has ceased
between the North and the South
and after knowing the condition OF
the State at that time, it can be
|clearly understood how the people
of Mississippi would feel toward the
North; and that the only way she
could hope to secure protection Of
the rights guaranteed her by the
Constitution, namely the sacrednes.
Of property, life, and the pursuit O
happiness was by separating her
self from a no longer friendly gov
eminent, and entering into a new
Confederacy which would be com
posed only of those States who's
Interests ran parallel to those O

CHAPTER ".
Mississippi's Influence On Other
Southern States.


We have up to this point discuss
ed the causes leading up to the Sc
|cession Convention of 1861; we will
now turn our attention to the eff
fects that this convention had on
other Southern States. The main
influence of this convention came
not SO much after the convention,
but during the preliminary discus
sions when it was generally under
stood what the convention would
do.
The Legislature, which convened
in November, 1860, authorized Gov
ernor Pettus to appoint commissions
ers to visit the other Southern
States to inform them that Missis-
| sippi did not intend to submit to
the sectional administration about
to be inaugurated at Washington,
and to secure their cooperation in
the establishment of an indepen-
ldent Nation. The commissioners

HISTORICAL SKETCH
OF OLE MISS
Results Of the COMMITTEES.

The committee appointed to draw
up the declaration Of the causes
which led up to the secession Of
Mississippi, and therefore which led
up to the secession. convention, af-
ter careful and deliberate investiga-
ton made the following report
which was adopted by the conven-
ton: 'The hostility of the North
toward slavery began before the
adoption of tho Constitution, and
was manifested by the web known
Ordinance of 1887 in regard to the
/ Northwestern Territory
| The feeling increased until in
1920 it deprived the South Of moro
than half the vast territory acquir-
ed from France.
! The same hostility dismembered
Texas and seized upon all the terri
tory acquired from Mexico.
It has grown until it denies the
right of property in slaves, and re-
fuses protection to that right on the
high seas, in the Territories, and
wherever the government Of the
United States has jurisdiction
It refuses the admission of new
slave States into the Union, and
seeks to extinguish it by combining
lit within it's present limits, denying
the power of expansion.
It tramples the equality of the
South under foot.
It has nullifed the Fugitive Slave
law in almost every Northern State
In the Union, and has utterly brok-
en- the compact which our fathers
pledged their faith to maintain.
It advocates negro equality, Soc
tally and politically, and promotes
|insurrection and incendiarism in our
midst.
It has enlisted its press, its pull
pit, and it's schools against US until
the whole popular mind of the North
is excited and inflamed with predu-
jice.
1t has made combinations and
formed associations to carry out its
schemes of emancipation in the
States and wherever else Slavery
exists.
1t has invaded a State, and in
vested with the honors of martyr
dom the wretch whose purport was
to apply flames to our buildings
and the weapons of destruction to
cur lives.
1t has broken every compact into
which it has entered for our secur'
ity.

Early Wednesday morning
Sheriff R. A. Bass received a tele.
phone call from Rollinsville, stat.
ing that Mrs. Lola Graham who
had been visiting the past week
with Mrs. Whitney of that place
had disappeared during the pre-
ceding night. She was very ner-
vous the evening before and Mrs
Whitney heard her get up during
the night and go back to bed. As
she did not appear at breakfast
Mrs. Whitney called her twice and
received no response. She then
went to her room and found that
Mrs. Graham had left her room
some time during the night. Near
ly all of her clothing had been
left in the room. All that was
missing was her night gown,
skirt, shoes and stockings.
The sheriff left at once for
Rollinsville and upon his arrival

were already searching for the
missing woman. Another party OF
ten or more was organized to as
sist in the search. The body was
found at 3 80 o'clock in the after
noon by Ed. Stephenson in lake
Manchester, about forty feet from
the shore, and a mile from the
Whitney house.
In the absence of Coroner Geo.
l.. Hamllik, Justice James r. Rule
acted as coroner and after investi-
cation decided that the evidence
of suicide was so plain that the
expense of an inquest was unnec-
essary. The body was brought to
Central City and now lies at the
undertaking. parlors.
The deceased was about so
years of age and came from Top
eka, Kans., where she has rela-
tives who have been informed by
telegraph of her death and are
expected to arrive in Central
