Assassination.
The couvictiou of Curtis Jett in
a Kentucky court for the murder
of Thos. Cockrell in July 1902 and
the sentence of death that goes with
the conviction from all the circum
STIfhces of the case is a righteous
judgment. The strong hand of the
law should be used to the limit to
stamp out such an infamous crime
as assassination. The details of
such bloody work makes one’s
blood run cold and the law should
remove as quickly as possible the
demon iu human form that would
take the life of another by such
means aud thus cut off the chances
of still further crimes at his hands.
Iu all the category of crimes there
is none so diabolicnl aud so to be
dreaded as the work of the assas
sin. There can be no defense or
protection afforded the innocent
victim who is selected and only
when it is too late we learn of the
grudge held against him and which
is settled by the taking of his life.
Kentucky has afforded the couutry
already too many instances of this
crime aud it is well for her to call
H ball and while the livea nf liei.
citizens are being taken let it be
the lives of those the state would
be better off without.
Mississippians Are Just.
(Jol. E. L. Russell, a citizen of
Alabama in fact, a Miesissippiau
in sentiment and feeling, is a man
known and loved of all Mis8issip
piaus. Having charge of a rail
road which traverses a goodly part
of this State, he has much to do
with the people of the State, and is
competent to speak with the force
of truth of that people. And be it
said to his eternal credit, he never
fails the opportunity to say a good
word for the grand old State and
her no less graud people.
The man who attacks Mississip
pi and Mississippians in the
presence of E. L. Russell will not
soon forget the hour and occasion.
In his notable speech at the Var
danian banquet at Gulfport he de
clared in burning words that he
who dealt righteously and justly
with Mississippians would fiud
them true, just and right.
He declared that if his cause was
just he need not fear the results
from Mississippi courts. And we
repeat, they were words of bnruing
truth. There is a certain class
who come into the State, who, be
?ause Mississippians do not bend
the humble knee of obeisance to
their dollars, and the courts do not
suspend the laws and its busness
;o serve their further interests, de
light to abuse and malign the State
tud people.—Hiloxi Review.

Key te the Farm Treasure Box. G
Every farmer should try to make \
yearly improvement in his prac
ce, for without improvement in
lethods there will be no increase i
i profits. Let the soils be made o
little better every year, and the c
^responding increase in the vield n
f products will compensate three b
r four times the outlay. On the a
ther hand, if there is a constant I
ecrease in the fertility of the soil, *
le inability of the farmer to iin- b
prove his soil, by reason of the de
creased yield in bis crops, will keep 1
him on the downward path. Study
the soil. Keep it in good heart by 1
rotation, clovering aud manuring,
and success is inevitable. These
are the keys with which to unlock
the farmer’s treasure box—South
ern Farm Magazine.
Capt. E W. Brown, clerk of the
Supreme Court, died at his home
in Jackson on the 18th inst., after
an illness of several months with
cancer. Capt. Brown was a native
of Hinds County and was in his
sixty-third year. He entered the
Confederate army when quite a
young man and served throughout
the entire war with distinction.
After the war he moved to Copiah
Couuty aud served twelve years as
circuit clerk and two terms as
sheriff of the county. The state
Democratic convention eight years
ago uomiuatee him for supreme
court clerk, which position he filled
with satisfaction to everybody.
At the August primary he was re
nominated for the third term.
Capt. Brown was a man admired
tor his many noble qualities of
head and heart and in his death
the state loses one of its best citi
zens and the people a conscientious
and faithful official.
Hon. J. G. Kincaunon, whose
constituents re-elected him railroad
commissioner from the northern
district of the state over two able
opponents, a compliment difficult
to pay under such circumstances,
is regarded as the logical candidate
for the presidency of the commis
sion aud his election is practically
assured. Mr. Kincaunou has had
experience on the commission
which is invaluable iu dealing with
the important interests under the
commission’s control aud besides is
a mau of ability who would digni
fy the position. He is the only
member of the old body retained
aud the presidency rightfully be
longs to him.—Columbus Dispatch.
One of the most serious matters
that has come before the president
iu a political way lies iu the dis
position of the American Federa
tion of Labor toward Mr. Roosevelt
on account of his position in the
Miller case. The reinstatement of
Miller by the president in his
former position in the government
priuting office after his dismissal,
was taken as a direct affront to
labor unions everywhere. The
heads of all the organizations are
a unit against the president’s action
aud unless there is an adjustment
of the matter the president will
find very formidable opposition
from this source iu the coming
canvass.
The Industrial Institute and Col
lege, one of the greatest institu
tions of learniug for girls iu the
South, opened this week with seven
hundred pupils. Under the direc

I. aud C., at Columbus has grown (
iud growu until it stands at the
head of educational institutions for
girls in the South. May it con
tinue to grow iu usefulness is the '
wish of all devoted Mississippiauj. <
