Educators have learned a great

Educators have learned a great
deal in late years about teaching,
but they have learned no more
important truth than this-that
teaching is a process of develop
ment rather than a matter of stuff
ing. The purpose Of correct teach
ing is not to stuff a child with in
formation, but rather to train the
mind. As some teacher mas said,
education is dynamic. In train
ing a child we may learn much
from natures way of development.
In making crops the endeavor of
the farmer is simply to assist
nature. He digs about the roots
Of a plant, nourishes it with fer
tilizers, makes all the conditions
to growth as favorable as he can,
and then leaves the rest 70 nature,
and rs surely a natures laws
are liked the plant which is thus
treated will grow. The intelligent
teacher will follow this plan in
teaching the young idea to shoot.

Obituary.

Little Annie Benson, daughter
of Mr.. Oscar and Mrs. Matte l..
Vaughn. passed quietly away on
the morning of Sept. 18th, 1902.
The little one had been a sufferer
for nearly four months, but not
until about three days before she
died was she thought to be in a
dangerous condition. She was
twentymonths and four days old, a
bright little treasure in the home,
IT'S hard to give her up, was she
not too pure for elrth? She has
gone where suffering and sorrow
can never co ne and will wait at
the open gate for the home com
ing Of mamma aud papa and
loved ones left behind. She is,
"Safe in the arms Of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast;
There by his love o'ershadowed,
Sweetly her soul shall rest"
May God comfort the bereaved
and bind up their broken hearts.
Dear father and mother, your
many friends deeply sympathlze
with you in this sore atfiiction.

The local newspaper, truthful
lv says an exchange, should be
found in every home. No chill
dren should be brought up ignor-
ant who can be taught to appreci-
ate home papers. 1t is said to be
the stepping stone to intelligence
in all these matters not found in
books. Give your child one foreign
paper with not one word about
any person, place or thing they
ever saw or heard Of, and how do
you suppose them to be enter
tanned? But let them read the
home papers and hear from people
whom they meet, and places where
they are familiar and soon an
interest is awakened which increas-
as with the arrival of every local
naper. Thus a habit of reading
Is formed and those children will
read papers all their lives and be-
come intelligent men and women,
a credit to their ancestors, and
in the knowledge OF the
world as if it is today.

At a recent meetinng of the Sons
of Confederate Veterans, Gen.
Tom Henry introduced the follow
ing resolution which was adopted
without a dissenting vote:
"REsoLED, That the great and
u~nselish press of Mississippi,
which has always been in the front
ranks in all deeds of philanthrophy
aud progress, and which has been
constant and unremitting in It's
advocacy of every good cause
effecting the Confederate Veteran
and his interests, be reqested to
continue this good work by assist
ing the Sons of Veterans in raising
the ten thousand dollars necessary
to purchase Beauvoir. To this end
we respectfully request all papers
feeling enough interest in the
sacred cause to open a popular sub
scription through their columns,
soliciting contributions for this
purpose and that they publish the
names of all contributors to the
same"

Mississippi has been fighting
the alleged fire insurance trust
and has such a stringent law on
the subject that the fire companies
have made it troublesome for
property owners to get insurance.
However. some level-headed citi-
zens of that enterprislng city,
Meridian, have apparently solved
the problem of how to get cheap
insurance on cotton in storage
without bothering the insurance
trust. The compresa in that city
with a storage capacity of 10000
bales offers to store the farmers
cotton without charge, and cover
it with insurance at The rate OF
"10cents per bale per month OR
the fractional part thereof. We
don't know much about the situa
ton in Mississippi, but If that
offer don't carry cotton to Meridian
we are badly mistaken.-Selma

Tom Clark, alias Will Gibson,
the negro who so foully murdered
Mrs. Carey Whitfield, at Corinth,
was burned at the stake last
Sunday, at 3 80 p. m. in the pres
ence of several thousand people.
The negro was arrested the day
before and without hesitation
made b confession of the horrible
deed. The citizens of Corinth at
once met and, after consultation,
decided that he should be executed
at the hour above named. Notice
was given of the time and the de-
lay was made for the purpose of
allowing people from a distance to
reach Corinth in time to see him
executed. In his confession he
included a long list Of dark crimes
and it is indeed surprising that he
could have escaped detection for
so long a period. He gave his
confession with apparent freedom
and did not seem to care much
about his fate. Taken altogether
his record of crimes makes of him
the most remarkable criminal
that our state has produced in a
long time. He certainly richly
deserved his fate.
A remarkable feature of this
execution was the cool and deliber-
ate manner in which the outraged
community planned and carried it
out. 1t seems to have been almost
unanimously agreed that the negro
should be lynched promptly and
openly. There was no conceal
ment of any part of the program
and it was carried out without jar
or hindrance. The horrible ma
ture of the murder was intensi-
fed by the revolving nature of the
criminals confession and every
body seemed to join in the ver-
dict that he should promptly die
for his crime. All classes joined
in approval of the verdict and
from the deep seated determine
ton which was manifested 1t was
apparent that no power of court
or State could have stayed it. The
crime for which this negro died
is the one which stirs every
true southern mans heart to its
core and nothing short of the
blood of the demon who perpe-
trates it can satisfy its cry for
vengeance. The fair womanhood
of the south must be protected
from the defling touch of the
negroes hand. There are thou
sand COriuth's in our southland
and woe be to the transgressor!

What is said to be the oldest
ship in the world has recently been
sold at Teneriffe, to be torn up.
1t is the Italian ship Anita, regis
tered at the port of Genoa. The
Anita, which resembled Christie
pher Columbus ship, the Santa
Maria, was built in Genoa in 1913,
and effected her last voyage at the
end of March, 1902, from Naples
to Teneriffe. The Anita was of
stout build and weathered count
less storms and tornadoes in all
parts of the world, but she was al
so the slowest ship ahoat.-T. D..

Delta Lands,

There seems to be a great and
growing demand for lands in the
delta. The idea prevails that that
part our state is the coming coun-
try and land buyers from all over
the country are focking thither
and making purchases. A num-
Der of gentlemen from near Leigh
ton recently went down there to
inspect the country and we learn
that one of the number bought a
tract in Coahoma county. This
was Capt. Geo. W. Allen, who is
a fac jadge of swamp lands, hav-
ing had a large experience in that
line when he followed Forest in
the COS. There is no doubt about
those lands being good and but
little doubt about the correctness
of the investment. There is no
richer land on earth. The negroes
all seem to want to cOngreSate
there and as they are a S reliable
field hands AS can be had the coun-
try will be cleared aud titled. 1t
is mighty black down there now
and it is getting blacker all the
time. They who can control their
labor can find occupation aud
profit in the purchase Of delta
farms.

Good Health

and pure blood are in%separable. If
your blood is bad, your health must suf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as a poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood is but
a step, and impure blood is mother to a
Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for it is
both a builder and purifier "a food
and a medicine. 1t is the best combi-
nation of the kind known to medical
science, and its success for nearly half
a century has led to its endorsement by
thousands of medical men who have
been unable to find a substitute.

Tammany's New Boss.

Charles F. Murphy has been
elected leader of Tammany Hall
democracy. He is Familiarity known
as Charley and is as well up in
all matters pertaining to his new
position as any man that could
have been selected. Like Croker
he is an entirely self made man.
He began at the bottom and has
climbed the ladder of success and
prosperity rung by rung until
now he is at the top. He CON-
menced life as a boy apprentice in
a ship yard on East river and soon
became a leader of his compositions
and associates. At the age Of
eighteen he attracted the attention
of prominent democrats and began
to take an active part in ward
politics. His first earnings he in
vested in a saloon in a low part of
the city and made money. He open
ed several saloons and made
money in all of them. He was sober
himself and conducted his saloons
upon a higher plane chan those
around him, and never allowed a
woman to enter one of them. He
was honest in business, liberal in
his affairs and grew apace in the
notice and respect of the leaders
of the democracy of the city. He
is a silent man of the type that
wins by action instead of words.
His selection seems to be pleas
ing to all the factions of the party
included in Tammany. His first
act was the selection of delegates
to the New York State convention,
and he displayed great sagaclty in
doing so. He named the leading
| editors Of the Times, the World
and the Journal, the leading dem
ocratic papers of the city. He also
named others who represent every
shade and complexion of opinion
of the warning elements of the
party in the city. In this it is
| apparent that he intends to endeav-
or to cement the party in the city
into a harmonious whole. If this
be done it will assure a revolution
in the politics of the state of New
York and give to the democracy
Of the country a much improved
chance of winning in the next
national election.
Mr.. Murphy has begun we'll and
we trust he may be able to direct
the affairs of the great political
machine of which h. is the head
for the good Of the whole party.

LIKE AN AIR CUSHION.
Curious Phase of the Condition of a
Constructive.

In Thomas Gleason, twenty-eight years
old. the town OF Quinapoxet, Mass. has a
pneumatic man. The name Of his disease.
as given by his physicians, is 'cutaneous
emphysema."
Several days ago DR.. a. II. Tyler Of Oak
dale was summoned TO Quinapexet to see
Gleason. who was in an advanced stage Of
consumption and suffering great pain.
AS DR.. Tyler entered the sick room he
was surprised to see that the mans body
was swollen to almost twice its normal size.
Gleason could hardly see. and he had great
difficulty in breathing.
Upon examination the doctor found that
air had collected underneath the skin in
every part of the body. Gleason was
veritabe air cushion. The doctor deter
mined to relieve the man and draw the air
from the cellular tissues of the skin, IL
possible He punctured different parts or
the body with needles, and with the aid OF
an air pump and bandages he took away
the greater part of the air.
DIR. Tyler then made an examination OF
the patients lungs. He found the right
lung much diseased The man in breathing
could take air into the lungs. but on ac-
count of his diseased condition it could not
return through the bronchial tubes and
made it's way through the cellular tissues
of the skin 10 every part of the body.
Dr. Tyler next made an incislon in the
mans right side bet ween his eighth and
ninth ribs. and inserted tube. He then
drew off more than quart OF broken-down
lung tissue. The tube was withdrawn the
cavity cleansed and the tube again placed
i'm position. and will be allowed to remain
there. with a daily cleansing OF the dis
eased parts.
The man is now much more comfort
able: he can breathe without difficulty, ana
the air when taken into the lungs, seems
TO find it's way out through the inserted
tube He is gaining strength, can take
some nourishment. and thinks that ne
may be able to walk around the house In
few days.
DIR TYLER who is a physician OF many
years experience says that in all his pri-
waite practice and hospital practice in New
York and Boston he has never seen case
of this kind.
