THE LITTLE WORKERS.

The little workers of the Presby-
terrain church, who held their bazaar
at the court house one night last
week, desire to return thanks to the
Progress, the Citizen and all others
who took such deep interest in 1t
and made it such a grand success.
The little workers took in over fifty
dollars, which was a nice sum for
the cause of their church, besides
all who attended had about two
hundred and fifty dollars worth of
fun.

THE PRIMARY LAW.
Meaning of the Law as Construed
by Hon. E. F. Noel.

AAOtis ANS@i'
Wluona. Miss, Sept Is, 1902.
Mr.. W. Nj Conner, Chairman Dem. Tx.
Com, hattiesburg, Miss:
Dear Sir-Your letter Of the 9th inst.
was received. Absence from home pre-
vented an earlier reply
Laws, TO avoid constitutional objec
tions, must be general in their applica
ton. The chief object of the prim4ry
election law was to secure to each quail
fed elector right to an equal voice in
the selection of his party nominees, under
safeguard and regulations similar to
those governing general elections.
Section 9, page 100, acts 1902. delares:
That no person shall be eligible to
participate in primary elections unless
they are qualified electors, intend to
support the nominations in which they
participate, have participated with the
party holding The primary within two
years preceding, and are not excluded
from such primary by regulations of the
party state executive committee
The clause have participated with
the political party holding the primary
within two years. is ambiguous. 1t
was amendment offered by Senator
Campbell who stated that its purpose
was to exclude those who had not given
support to the nominees of the party in
prior campaign. 1t was thought that
the state democratic executive commit
tee would pass regulations excluding
negroes, and clearly defining what con-
stituted eligibility as to all others. Unit
this is done, it is left altogether with
precinct election officers to say who are
entitled to participate under the terms Of
the law quoted. Challenge can be made
by themselves or any other democrat
and they can construe the law. From
their decision there is no appeal except
to the city executive committee who are
the court of last resort. Very truly.
h. F. NOEL.

An Artificial P earl.

A ball of beeswax introduced into the
shell of living fresh water mussel has
resulted in producing the most remark.
able arsiaeial pearl in existance. 1t is
about AN inch anG q malt ii length, oval
in form and pink in color, aud is now
the property of t!.s Smithsonian Iusti-
tute Tha ball of wax was placsd near
the hinge Of the bivalve, which, being
kept in tank of fresh water, was Care
fully watched. The irritation of the
wax caused the mollusk to protect it's
elf by coating the foreign object with q
smooth coating of pearl stuff the same
meterisl as that which Is used in lining
the inner surface of the shell In the
case in question the result was an enor-
nous pearl Owing to pressure, how
ever. the wax ball lost its spherical
shape and became oval in shape.
At the end of two years the mussle
wss taken out of the tank and opened,
aud the pearl removed. The wax after
wards contracted, owing TO dlyness,
which CAUSED the pearl shell to crack.
This accident, while destroying the
commercial value Of the pearl, made it
possible to observe the thickness of the
nacreous covering, which is somewhat
greater than that Of an ordinary sheet
of writing paper. Ii the pearl was net
fsawed Ii would he worth an enormous
sum ef money, but even as it is it is

The yalnn Of Machinery.

Is is in wet season like this, when
the farmer has to improve every minute
that he can, and he has to do his har-
vesting and haying ''betwesn rains, +"
that he realizes what boon il is to
have farm machinery The large
amount of rain has been the cause of
the crops ripening rather later than us
ual and as the yield is unusually large
and in addition harder to get because
everything is so badly lodged, it is safe
to say that not one quarter of it could
be gathered under the old methods.
especially with the scarcity of help such
as at present sxists Haying is about
half completed in this section and har-
vssting only begun, so one can realize
what a prediesment farmers would be
in, hsd they not the up-to-date, effect
i've mqchinery to do the work for them.
They do it swiftly and well; the binder
will eAye nearly all the grain that ap-
pears at first sight to bs 80 badly lodged
that it cannot be got. Surely this is the
era of farm machinery without it the
farmer would be practically helpless. -

The Sunday School Lesson.

EDITOR CENSOR; Among your host

church members, and I would like 10
Say few words regarding the Sunday

topic "Worshiping the Golden Calf is a
very suggestive one, and those who h Va
followed the history of the chosen pso-
pie sre struck with the haste they
make in turning from Ged go soon To
worship the calf A few days before
they had declared that they would do all
the Lord had commanded
How much the professed Christians of
to-day are like them. Only those of to-
day worship the dollars instead of the
calf One particular difference is tn
the chi dren of Israel had not mp TO tn tt
time been allowed 10, or called upon to
make IA choice whether they would be oa
the Lords side or not, while Christian
are suchhy choice Up TO that time God
had called the Patrialchs and prom5ed
what He would do for them. But after
Moses had ground the calf to dust and
made them drink it he comes out and
says WHO is on the Lords side?"
Tile liquor traffic has been setting up
the alf dollars license fees for these
MAJ years and saying yoLr taxes will
he lighter but still the taxes go higher
and men and women, boys and girls,
husbands, brothers, wives, mothers and
sisters go on TO fill the dlunkaad's place,
the drunkard's graves ahG the drunk
ard hell If the drunkard goes to hell
the drnnkard maker surely will But
who is the drunkard maker9 The saloon
keeper who buys the licenses or the vot-
ers who sell it2
The prohibition party stands where
Moses stood, and at the ballot box it
cries out who is ON the Lords slider
And the people must choose rs of old.

IT Is RATHER SHINY.
Wisconsin Snakes and whisky KickapOO Valley
Comes N for Notoriety.

An editorial in the Evening Wiscon
sin of recent date says there are snakes
| in Southern Wisconsin Quite true, sir,
| there are many of them, but one who is
| thoroughly acquainted with the condi-
| tions relative TO snakes in that psi of
! the state would feel that the story is
| only half told Great, big, fat, yellow
| rattlers infest the hills and river valleys
| of this section Of the state, and so mum
erous are they that many farmers find
1t much more profitable to feed the
snakes TO the hogs and work their corn
into whisky TO cure the snase bites; and
indeed, sir, it is no uncommon sight to
see farmers shoveling loads Of rattlers
into their hog pens. The hogs seem to
relish them and our local shippers say
that hogs fattened on rattlesnakes bring
higher price in Chicago than corn fed
hogs that they are in greater demand
for the LEGAL trade, and we presume
many citizen of Chicago has had his
epicurean palate tickled with the deli
cate flavor of some fat old RATHER that
had rea he'd the hog stage of develop
ment on its journey to the great un-
known
The Kickagoo valley especially is no
ted for the abundance of snakes that in
fest the bluffs on each side of it, and If
you ever ravel over the W. w. railroad
which runs up the valley, you will won
der why there are so mfny curves in
the track. The explanation lies in the
fact that it follows an old snake trail
The snakes having worn the ground |
smooth and level, so numerous were
they, in their passage, up and down the |
valley, the engineers in locating the |
line took advantage of that fact and |
followed the old snake trail, and of |
course where rattlesnakes were so num- |
erous they had TO take great deal of |
snake antidote, which caused an extra |
curve now and hen and sometimes |
nftener. Ii You don't believe this ask /
e. A. Wadhams or N. L. James about |
the curves
Old settlers say that it was q custom
Of the Winnebago squaws in early lays
TO hang their papooses in baskets on the
lower branches of the trees. and while |
the softly blowing zophers OF the warm
summer eve swayed them to and fro
-he rattlers would gather round the
little copper -colored youngsters and 'ull
them TO sleep with the low sweet music
IF their rattles
Yes sir there are snakes in Southern |
and indeed, Mr.. Editor, it
ioes seem that satan must have had a
grudge or an old score to settle, or he
would have given this section of the
tate fewer snakes or better whisky. |
And If you, kind reader, don't believe
his, Just come out here and take a few
loses of Suthern Wisconsin whisky as
IN antidote to make it safe for you and
We will show you the snakes
