| Now that the summer, or sea-
son Of alleged yellow fever, he's
passed, and that at the ''risk' Of
that happy privilege of uurestrlet-
ed communication with New Or
! leans, few words on the subject
may fit to a nicely. The first con-
clusion at the results is prominent
in itself and patent 60 the mind;
the people of Bay st Louis and
Waveland, the people who pay
three-quarters OF taxes, urge the
same privilege for next season,
realizing such issue paramount to
their direct interest and in view of
preventing another embargo of
some many months as imposed
year before last when, feeling the
absence of our New Orleans
friends, the community soon be-
came an object of poverty and
charity, dependent and begging
the outside world for funds; when
Natchez and other good towns
people came so literally to the
rescue. That was the time, since
our natural resources afford
to our native class in majority
their livelihood, all was cut off:
every nrcduut minus of cOnSum-
CT, and the few consumers left
were without the wherewith to
procure these. That was a time
that Providence forbid should it
ever return-not the fever, but
quarantine. It has been yenturcd |
on the streets by some shallow
minds, possibly prompted by self |
ish inclinations, that we exclude |
our kind friends, visitors and New |
Orleans-Bay residents, than go
cropping for industries to create
the town self-supporting; in other
words, sacrifice what we possess
for that We would wish for. Why |
not be broad, liberal, progressive
and Of higher spirit by enjoying
both situations? There Is no adj
vocate more ardent than The
Echo for factories, mills and all
industries, while the transient
population have no friend more
sincere than The Echo And that
is because We realize strangers
have comparatively done more to
forge Bay St. Louis to the front
than the townspeople proper, and
again that we realize the possibil-
tiles outsiders are capable of in
the future. And with quarantine,
the nonsensical kind, as MissiSsip-
piand other Southern States are
indulgiug in, if permitted, we will
be submitting to the infamy of
damning our town.

The schools of Pennington for
1.-THE past few years have not ! cen
model ones, that other towns in
the State might pattern after
The welfare Of the schools should
be matter of earnest concern
and solicitous care with all our
people.
They are the very foundation Of
our social fabric: out of them
proceeds the healthy public opin-
ion, the trained intelligence that
builds up strong communities;
that preserves order and enforce
the law of right living. Our soc
ial and civic welfare are depcu-
dent on the kind Of education
given to the young, and we must
give the test if we would enjoy
the advantage of a high ethical
standard in our social econ0uy.
This admirable school which we
ought to be so grateful Is neither
a sudden nor easy acquisition. II
is the product of months of hard +.
work and earnest Cndeavor on the
part of those excellent gentlemen
who compose the board of trus-
tees. Those who saw what was
good for the town and determined
to achieve it; and day by day and
month by month the list of sub
has grown and inn
proved. enlisting every day more
and more the sympathy, support
md cooperation of every public
spirited citizen until now it Is
irmly established and its cause so
leeply implanted in the hearts of
our people that nothing can ever
shake it and no dollar spent there
IN is begrudged by any tax payer.
A town may have many noble
Institutions but there is never
ingIe one whose influence for
rood is greater or in whose eX-
,eIlency its people have just cause
o sincerely rejoice than in a good
graded school.

years of his life for one of those
apple pies such as his mother used
to make. At the reception ten
dered him by the people of Null
vane he was presented with a pie,
square in form, measuring ) feet
one way by ? feet the other. In
the pie were two and one-haIf
bushels of apples, ten pounds Of

pounds of lard, two pounds OF
butter and a commensurate
amount of other truck which goes
in this kind of pastry. The pie

By the will of the people o
Mississippi, Jackson is the Stat,
capital. By vote of the people
of the State, as provided by the
constitution. the people may move
their seat of government to any
place in the State that a majority
of the qualified electors may fav-
or. While the statehouse is To-
Gated in jackson, it is there for
the benefit of the people of the
whole State, and the new capital
should be selected with a view to
the best interest of the people of
the whole State, rather than IN
the interest of any man, or any
set of men in Jackson or out Of
Jackson. Legislators. acting for
the people. whose servants, they
are, ought to have one and only
one view in mind best inter
est of the people of The entire
State not only Of this generation,
bat of the comiHg century. In
doing this every dollar possible
should be saved t. the taxpayers,
and every interest Of convenience
and stability should ha observed.
On this subject the Raymond
Gazette says:
when the new capiJo' matter
shall come up IN the jeg5.-ture,
it is expected that each nsu. erty
owner in the city o. }ae6-2a will
use every effort to influence the
selection of a site which may be
most likely to adj to its value.
Such thlngs are nothing more than
natural. and we have no fault to
find with people who look out for
their own interests, but the mem !
berS of the legislature must bear |
in mind that they are not to con-
slider the interests of the property |
owners of Jackson, but the inter- |
ests of the whole State. There |
are two sites to be considered, the |
one on which the capitol now
stands, and the grounds Of the
penitentiary. The old site gives
the best view from the railroads, !
bat there is said to be mari in the
around upon which it will be inn
possible to get a good foundation.
If such Is the case it would be-
folly to erect 81 100000 build
ing there, which would in few
wears be full of cracks and ready
to fall down. .''-Picayune.

The rise in the price of cot
tou," says the Carrollton Con8er-
vative, "following the report Of
the shortage of the crop all over
the South, clearly confirms the
conclusion that supply and de-
mand' has much to do with regu-
lating the price of the t1eecy
staple, and, in fact, clearly DEM
onstrates to all men Of ordinary
intelligence that there has been
an over-production Of cotton, and
there is more money to the pro-
ducer in a small crop than large
one. Seven-cent cotton will eth
er be a blessing or curse to the
farmers of this country. If they
will only plant more corn, wheat,
oats. peas, potatoes and garden
truck, raise plenty of horses,
cows, hogs and poultry, and cut
their cotton crop down to the
lowest possible limit, it will be a
great blessing. If, on the other
hand, they become too enthused
over it, and plant another increas-
ed crop next year, and neglect the
things necessary for home use and
consumption, this 7-cent cotton
will be the greatest curse that
ever befell the farmers OF this
country
