Jackson Missionary Caravan Visits
Vicksburg.

The missionary caravan of Jack
son citizens, returned from Vicks-
burg last night, arriving in this city
for the most part shortly after mid
night this morning. The general
belief was that much good had been
accomplished by the trip to the re-
vival meeting in the Hill City. The
inspiration of the visitors presence
and the tremendous force of their
personal testimony is said to have
been deeply felt.
GO Tell the Story" was the slo-
gan of the party in the words of the
famous song which became so fami-
liar here in the Gypsy Smith meet
ing, singing of songs in the taberna-
Gle by the Jackson delegation. ALI
the hymns and gospel songs sung
here in the big tent in Poindexter
Park were rendered over and over
and the Vicksburg audience of 2,500
persons. called again and again for
more. Rober Philip lead this ser
vice with the music of his trombone.
The story of their Christian ex-
perience told by number of Jack
son men stirred the audience deeply.
Heart yearning testimonies were
given by Harry Austin, L. L. Patter-
son, o, B. Dyer, w. E. Lyle, and G..
E. Allen. The change which the
spirit of God had wrought in their
hearts was acclaimed. The happi-
ness which the conversion from the
service of the devil to the service of
God was the message which their
testimony brought.
Sidney Robinson told them of the
results of the midday prayer SER
vices in Jackson. j. M. fairfield
testified to the power of the daily
family prayer and urged the adoption
of the custom in homes where it had
not been observed before. Maze Dali
ley declared that prohibition would
not be difficult to enforce when men
gave their hearts to God.
Julian Alexander acted as spokes-
man of the Jackson party and-intro-
duced the various witnesses to the
power of God in Jackson. He told
the Vicksburg congregation that the
visitors did not come because they
had feeling of superiority or were
better than the people Of the Hill
City. He said they had come be-
cause they wanted to tell what
Christ had done for their city and
to see If they might not be of some
aid in the good work that was being
done by their neighbors in Vicks
burg.
The Jackson party numbered a
bout 80 persons including some wo
men. They were met on their ar
rival in Vicksburg and served will
splendid lunch. Reserved seat
had been marked out for them In thu
choir section. They were treated
with eevry courtesy known to hos
pitable people. Many believed tina
their Christian mission had been o
special benefit to themselves and fel
the strengthening spirit of the as
sociation with the Vicksburg Chris
tians.- -Clarion-Ledger.

The excellent weather for the last
week has been helpful to the farm
ers, and as result the crops Of the
county are in good state of culti-
vation, with little grass reported
from any section. Most of the corn
has been laid by with good prospects
for large crop. Cotton is growing
rapidly and is further advanced than
at this season last year, and with
favorable weather an average crop
may be expected.

Too Much Money in Politics.

He believes that too much money Is spent, as
rule in primary elections The Newberry case is now
national scandal He believes that strict laws should
be enacted to prevent from buying themselves
into office because any who will buy himself
into office will sell himself out when he gets there
One of the signs of decay in the national life OF all
countries is the corrupt expenditure of money in poll
tics. Surely Paul right, when he said, For the
love of money the root of all evil" and this seems to
apply too to the political life Of Nation as it does
to the individual.

FOR CONGRESS
His Attitude on a Number Of National Meas
ures- Some Principles Of American
Democracy for Which He Stands.
U. S. Courts Should be Reformed.


He believes that the United States District and
Circuit Courts should be reformed abolished, and
il abolished the jurisdiction held by these
should be transferred to the State Tribunals leaving
just great Federal Court, namely the Supreme
Court Of the United States There should be direct
appeal from the State Court to the Supreme Court Of
the United States, where any Federal question is in
volved. This would make justice more speedy, more
satisfactory and would the people hundreds of
thousands dollars every year. The expense Of con-
ducung litigation under our present system is beyond
the reach of the average man. Our Federal and Dis
trct Judges appointed by the President Of the
United States for Hfe which is not in accord with
Democracy but is specie of Autocracy and it was
placed in the laws Of the United States only as a COM
promise Life tenure in office should be abolished
and this should apply to judges it applies to
all other public officials and the administration of JUS
tice placed the hands of the judges more to the
will and needs of the people and this would go long
way towards deeentralizing this government.
Toe Much Politics in Washington.
He believes, many other men of this Nation
who have given careful study present day condit-
ions, that there is too much POLITICS in Washington
We have too many Politicians and too few Statesmen
Our present day representatives in Congress give en-
tirely too much time to the business Of succeeding
themselves and too little time to the great problems
that are facing US as Nation He believes that un-
less we get away from small politics and begin to work
seriously, honestly and intelligentIy upon the big
problems, our future is unsafe.
Tax Laws Should Be Amended.
He believes that the present Income and Inheri-
tance Tax Laws should be amended so that large for
tunes should bear more equitable and just proper
tion Of the burden of taxation
Presidents Power Should Be CurtaiIed.
He believes that the President of the United
States should be nominated by direct vote of the
people and the appointing of judges the Cabinet
and many other appointments should be taken ont of
the hands Of the President and placed in the hands of
the peoples This would go a long way towards pre-
venting the Party in Power, through the President
from building up political machine to perpetuate
themselves in office, which is autocracy in different
form.
