The year 1899 goes record in the south
as the first year ever known in which that
section has moved its cotton crop with its
own money. The development of cotton
and iron and other manufacturing interests
there, under the influence of republican
methods in tariff. finance and the opening
of new markets. has led to corresponding
increase of banking facilities, so that the
southern banks were able to supply all the
money needed to handle the crop And vet

Mr.. Evans has done all that he could dc
under the law to promote liberal and
even an extravagant expe nditure for pen
sions. His own policy, were it left to him
TO form policy-as 1t is not-would be to
pay generously all who have been dis.
abied in the service. and TO provide SER
vice pension proportioned to the term of
service. But he would have the govern
ment drive the pension agents out of busi-
ness. 1t Is no wonder that ne is hated by
the real pension grabber. who is not usually
the veteran or the relative of the veteran,
but the attorney who works for his fee.
Nor do we believe that the old soldiers
themselves complain of the policy of the
government in any great number. The real
source of agitation in this direction is the
pension agent, with whom it is a matter of
revenue only.

With something more than four thousand
cases of smallpox in the state of Mississippi
the people there are demanding a compul-
sorry vaccination law. The more progress
sive states OF the Union have for some
years had such law applying at least to
the pupils of the public schools, but Missfs-
sippi held on trif1e longer to the privilege
OF locking the stable after the horse had
been stolen 1t. is easy enough to declare
that the law is in the interest of the vacci-
mating doctors, but that is far from the
whole truth. Modern science has proved
that vaccination is a preventive of one of
the most deadly and loathsome diseases
known to man, and other states besides
Mississippi would profit by a law COM
pelling people periodically to submit to the
operation.

WHAT WE DID.

This week the RECORD dropped
from its lists a job lot of parties
who were in arrears consider
ably. 1t is justice to ourselves
that we do this, as We cannot al
ford to mail papers to those who
will not pay for them. 1t takes
work-and a whole lot Of ito
get out a paper, and we 90 not
feel that we are under obliga-
tons to any man that we should
give him our labor for nothing.
Further, it takes money-money
every day in the year-to run a
paper, and those who cannot
contribute to our support can get
their reading from the almanac,
which is free, so far as this paper
is concerned. Those whom we
dropped from our list have had
ample time to settle their &C.
counts if they had an inclination
in that direction. We cannot
get material and labor for moth
ing, and to continue sending the
paper to a man lifetime with
out q cent would be foolishness,
And let US remark right here,
the man who will subscribe for
his home paper and refuse to
pay for it is a second cousin OF
the man who rolled the acorns
from the blind SOW and OF the
man who punched out his grand
mothers eyes for a quarter.
Our list this week is a clean,
paying one, and to the many
who receive 1t, we hope the good
Year 1900 may treat you kindly
and that 1t may prove the most
prosperous to you for many
past. We will give you a better

A QUESTION ANSWERED,

Our Ash Flat correspondent
asks this question:
Can a man make wine from
any kind of fruit and haul it off
his premises and sell it in broken
packages, say grape or black
berry wine?
In answer to the above, we
will say that according to our
statute, "Acts 1899, p 49," any
person who grows or raises
grapes OF berries may make
wine thereof and sell the same
in quantities not less than one
fifth of a gallon, or in sealed
bottles, anywhere in the State
without license if the same be
labeled "Natural Wine" Wine
to which sugar has been added
before fermentation shall be la
beled "Sugared Wine" The
label shall also state if the wine
be sweetened or unsweetened;
that the growers of wine as afore-
said shall have the right to sell
in original packages OF not less
than five gallons TO licensed
dealers. Wine shall not contain
any poisonous or injurious in
gradients or alcohol added, and
shall not contain moro than II
per cent of alcohol.
Wine cannot be sold where the
same has been petitioned out
under the three mile law unless
the same be excepted in the Pc
tition and order of the county
court, nor can it's sale be prohib-
tied unless vote at the last
general election for license or
against license there was a ma
jority separate vote against the
sale of wine. The result of that
election can be ascertained from
the election commissioners or
clerk.
