The KILLING Of Birds.

Editor Gazette: Some of your read
ers may not have taken the trouble to
read, or to inform themselves in any
way what the law of this state is touch
ing the killing of birdie.
Especially the juvenile who delights
in the ownership of sling shot, other
wise called ''nigger shooter" and
wants to practice on our sweet song
STEERS, it would be well for him to read
the law. Section 1134, Code of 1892,
says: IF any person shall shoot,
wound, injure, catch, kill or pursue
with such intent, mocking-bird, or a
cat-bird, or thrush; or shall destroy
or rob the nest of any wild bird what
ever, except crows, blackbirds, Eng
fish sparrows, blue jays, hawks, owls
and other birds Of prey, he shall be
fined, not less than one dollar nor more
than ten dollars, or be imprisoned in
the county Jail not exceeding ten days" "

Prosperity Causes
Dissatisfaction.
Negroes Shutting About Hunting
New Merchants From Whom
toObtain Supplies.

No time, within twenty years, has
witnessed such unsettled condition Of
labor as exists in this neighborhood at
this time. 1t is safe to say that no less
than 60 per cent of the negro popula-
ton of this portion Of the country IS
on the move shifting places and hunt
ing new merchants for supplies.
Strange as it may seem. this unsettled
condition is rather the result of pros
perity than Of poverty. All classes
are in such condition that it is easy for
them TO get all the needed supplies for
the year, bat a general change seems
to be the ruling spirit Whether or
not It will be for the better or worse
for the laboring classes, remains to be
seen: certainly il Is, that farmers who
own the land are being worsted in the
stir. Aieadyilie Advocate.

dividend of per cent, after carrying
10 per cent of earnings to the surplus
account and providing for the wear and

establishment few years ago, have
beendoubled IN capacity out of the earn
ings, and it will be only short time
when it win become necessary to make
other additions in order to meet the

Gov. LONGING and Mississippi.

Gov. Longino and Mississippi.
Ron. Stuyvesant Fish, president OF
the Illinois Central railroad, wrote Gov.
Longino letter and sent him copy OF
the Railway Gazette which showed the
progress in railroad building in the
United States, and that Mississippi was
the fourth in point of increased
miles. In concluding his letter, Presi-
dent Fish said:
'sAs an evidence that the broad
minded utterances in your inaugural OF
a year ago have borne fruit and will
bear more, permit me to bring to your
attention the fact that with the ex-
ception of Wyoming, West Virginia
and your neighbor, Louisiana, Missis-
,s5ppi has shown in the calendar year
now closing the largest ratio OF in
crease in railroad mileage of any state.
''In congratulating you on the show
ing made, have no hesitancy in ex-
pressing the belief that we have seen
the last of legislation tending to re-
press the investment of capital in Mis-
sissippi, and that under your wise
guidance, railroads and other moneyed
corporations can count with confidence
on the cordial cooperation and assist
ance OF the state government in all its
branches, in their efforts to develop
the vast latent resources Of the state"

The State Needs
More Factories,
Remedy for Distressing State Of
Affairs Caused by Short
Cotton Crop.

We should fall in line and join the
industrial move that is now sweeping
almost the entire state. We need
small factories. large factories, all
kinds Of factories. There is only one
remedy for the distressing state Of al
fairs in such localities as depend en-
tirely on the cotton crop as their mon
ey crop. Say what you will. do what
you may. work yourself and children
and free negroes as hard as you can,
and economic all that is possible, and
yet If you depend on cotton for your
money, but few carpets will cover your
floors, not many girls and boys VIII
receive the benefits Of classical edu-
cation. In sections where they have
timber, wood, turpentine, factories,
etc., the short crop and low price OF
cotton does not SO much affect all class
es. But here in this country where
man can never induce dollar to come
except to send of cotton In the
place of it; where no doubt can
be paid except in cotton; no assistance
obtained except on promise to raise
cotton, the poor farmer and small mer
chant can scarce make their accounts
balance when they have health, good
seasons and good crops. Factories and
nothing else will relieve this section OF
country. Any kind of factories that
will give employment will benefit all
classes.
There are 100 men in this town and
community that could take ten shares
of 1926 each, and 500 men in this county
that would take one share of $25 each
in factory located in this town, and
they and their county and everybody
would be vastly benefited even If
everyone lost the original stock. Let
us have factories, oil mills or anything
of the kind we can get.-Hickory In

failure in that regard, and that there
certainly could be no reason for saying
that his duty as to care is not at least
equally obligatory in respect to pris-
Oner in his custody ''The duty the
sheriff owes to the state" said the
court, ito keep prisoner committed
to his custody, and deliver him over
to the proper authorities at the proper
time, is no more compulsory than is
the duty he owes to the prisoner him
self to exercise reasonable and ordi-
nary care to protect the prisoners life

to escape or to be taken from his Gus

THE CAREER OF THE OTHERS

After Leaving Office John
Quincy Adams a Not
able Exception.

On Jan. /, 1862, there were living five
eX-presidents of the United Statesman
Buren,, Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce and Bu-
chanan. Now the death Of Benjamin
Harrison leaves only one eX-president-
Grover Cleveland. Gen. Harrison spent
just eight years as an ex-president.
When John Quincy Adams retired
from the presidency after serving as
SENATOR minister to England and secre-
tary Of state, it was suggested that he
become member Of the house of repre-
sentatives. He replied that to be chosen
selectman by the vote of the people
would be an honor and for sixteen years.
until the time of his death, he repre-
scented his district in congress, says the

Andrew Johnson was elected a senator
from Tennessee some time after the end
OIL presidential term but he lived to
serve only a few days of the special ses-

Most Of the presidents have retired to
lives of comparative idleness. George
Washington led the life of a country
gentleman on his estate at Mount Yer

TO the reorganization of the army when
war with France threatened. but he con-
tented himself with the management of
his plantation and the simple amusements

been several instances like this The
most recent was Chester A Arthur, who,
like Van Buren,, was disappointed at his
failure to achieve a reelection, and Sc
Guided himself from all but his intimate
friends.
Buchanan was recluse for seven
years after his return to private life He
had been much abused toward the close
OF his term, and he sought the quiet of
absolute retirement as soon as he re-
turned to his home in Lancaster. Pa.
Pierce lived eighteen years an ex-presi

but he was Southern sympathizer dur

John Adams was the first hermit ex
president. He was twenty-five wears
an ex-president, but he was SO disap-
pointed at his defeat for reelection that
he secluded himself for a quarter of a
century, compiling historic records. and
he came out of his hole only once when.
IN 1920, he acted as delegate to a state
convention. The fact that he retired did
