Under the influence of Neil's latest.
the Times Democrats classic phrase
maker and cotton philosopher, throws
up the sponge. It calls to his darken-
ed imagination the terrible words of
Carlyle, anent the doom of the French
peasantry under the old regime" for
the land Of 8 cent cotton ''It is now
almost absolutely certain" SAYS this
prophet of ruin, 'that the spinner has
taken his stand for good and all,
with Mr. Neil " The situation is not
good, we must admit But let il be
remembered that Neill is not the
whole shooting match. Let rs keep
in close touch with facts even though
they do not Immediately help ont the
case of the growers And the fact is
before us that it is not all Neill's birds
in the bush that this spinner is lean
ing on He is, besides, loaded to the
guards with cotton in hand, and 10
stocks. There is grain of comfort,
too, which should not be throw away
in despair, in the reflection that all
situations have their unknown and I'M
movable forces hidden behind the
scenes These even NELL is subject
to. In other words, "We can't most

The Clarion Ledger agrees with
Mayor Todd that steps should be
taken to test the insurance trust.

In conducting the Herald it'shall be
my policy to be just, fair and impair
tial to all regardless of politics, re-
ligion, beliefs or what not; to cham
pion Greene county and its citizens;
to not retract or retrogate, but forge
ahead always and to stick to our con-
victions. To criticise incompetency
and wrong wherever we find it. The
Herald has no axes to grind nor does
it want any yet. When it chooses
and sees fit to denounce chicanery
and any other misdoings, it will be
done for no other motive than what is
considered duty and requirement Of
any first class newspaper Editor. ]

Having settled the question of the
long and short terms In the United
States senate, and the matter of the
nominees for state offices, one might
think the people of Mississippi would
throw politics to the wind for brief
season, but not so. There is fight on
for position on the supreme bench,
and half dozen contests for district
judgeships. What Mississippi needs
growers conventions and manufac-
turer's associations. These will do
more to bring about better condition.

One thing that the English critics
noticed at the congress OF the Inter
national Council, in London, was that
the women delegates were not, as a
rule, the younger women. The ma,
jority of them were the older women.
The same thing is to be noticed in in
dividual clubs in America. AS a rule,
the club women are the older women,
who have passed the busiest period
OF life.

S0ERoWING FOR A FRIEND.

It is sad and sorrowing message to
all who enjoyed the friendship Of our
dear beloved friend Mr.. John Turner
to learn Of his sad death. He was a
noble young man, fsll Of all good
qualities and one of the best of hus-
bands, sons and brothers. His place
will be hard to fill. 1t ia so hard to
realize that one so bright and active in
business of life should now be num-
bered with the dead. His memory
will be enshrinea in the hearts Of All
that knew him, for he was q noble
specimen of man.
"Johnnie, thou was mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze.
Gentle as the air of evening,
When it foats among the trees.
Peaceful by thy silent slumber;
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our song shall know
Dearest Johnnie, thou hast left u=,
Here thy loss we deeply feel:
But IN God that hast bereft us,
He can al our sorro9s heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day Of life has fed,
Ther in heaven with joy to greet
thee,
There no farewell tear is shell"
