Generous Tribute.
THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
s,a,ting Up ofthe Hand Losmsa a Great
iA' Rlow at Corporate Wealth.

Under the caption Of ''The Right
Shirt. > the Canton Times quotes
recent letter of "Jim" in THE
cr,R where is said that 50 many
fxo,ers wives are starting up the
o,dfoshioned home looms and
spjnning wheels with the intention !
of making clothing for themselves
and their families. The Times IS
one Of the best newspapers IN Miss
issippi and "a true friend to the
masses, and on this account we ap-
nreciate what it says all the more;
1--WE glory in this spirit of the no
h1a women of Attala, who, by their
action have not only set an exam
nIe for their sisters in other parts
# the South, but by their course
mnst infuse new energy and hope
Il the men of our land who are not
too law or too dead to aspiration
to he moved to better their for
times. This is the heaviest blow
that corporate powers or money
sharks can possibly have dealt
to them. Whenever the people
resolve that come what will they
mean to be free, and live without
going into debt, the financial prob
lem will be solved and unrest,
gloom and poverty will be stranS-
er in the land. These people IN
Attala county next fall will have
money in baud, and when that is
the case as was proven by a farmer
in Texas last fall, they will want
no debased coin, but gold or its
equivalent. Mark our prediction:
this people will be nucleus
around which will gather a sentl-
ment in the State that will grow
and render us all right Congress
sional or political gas will never
settle national or financial issues;
the common people are the gov
eminent, and they must and will
adjust these things by becoming
independent and intelligent. They
will become the true makers OF the
situation as they should be, before
whose mandate their representa-
tives will bow in obsequous obedl
ence. Now don't curl your lips
and turn up your noses at these
rustic people because they are go
ing to wear 'homespun,' we wore
it during the war and | am sure
nice striped, fancy dyed "home
spun" dress is much more valua
able and equally as respectable al
cheap, hashy calico. Some peo
pie will say: "Oh! we can bu,
goods so cheap now that it won
pay to weave with an old obsolete
antiquated hand loom. That yer,
idea has been the ruin of our peo
pie. No farmer can buy anything
cheaper than he can raise it, W.
care not what it is. These peopl
will raise their own cotton, spll
and weave it in time that woul'
otherwise be idle and lost, ant
above all they know that they Cal
do it, which renders them abso
lutely independent of not only al
manufacturers, but of all contln
gencies and mishaps ofevery kind
The unexpected is what alway
happens, when we look to tomol
row or to- others for what we ar
to depend upon. We are entlrel
too fast for everything. Electric
ty, steam, telegraphs, telephone
and esthetic civilizations, fast an
feverish desires to get money an
Tevel in anticipated or real enel
vating luxury, has made a natio
OF malcontents. Greece and Rom
succumbed to these seductive, Ell
ervatlng and destructive influences
This action of the "tar heels"
OF Attala will hold us down to o,
moorings and enable US to ride tn
storm, brewing with such omino,
