Papers outside of the state are re-
porting the fact that IN southeast
Mississippi there is considerable
interest being manifested in the
early vegetable and fruit industry
and that the farmers are organizing
with the object in view of pushing it
for all it is worth the next season.
While not much of the good work
can be observed IN this immediate
section, 1t is we'll known that many
of the farmers are turning loose con-
siderable acreage of their cotton
lands for the purpose of raising
vegetables and fruits for the
markets. This is as fine section for
that industry as there Is in the south
and it is only a wonder that the
farmers have been so slow in taking
hold Of 1t. The next few years will
show a wonderful development
along this line and vegetables and
fruits will be shipped from Hatties-
burg by the carloads.

1t is reported from Washington
that Governor Longino will become
candidate for United States
senator. We hope not. We hope he
will not become a candidate for any
thing until he is able to explain the
part he took in loaning out the
money in the state treasury and then
certifying that it was In the vault
while at the same time he knew it
dence as to his innocence will have
to be produced than merely pointing
to the proceedings of the Rush trial.

TRYING TO FOOL THE PEOPLE.

We some times do not have much
more faith in the democratic party
than we have in the republican party
Both parties try to fool the people
some times, but they cannot tool all
the people all the time. AS an issue
the democratic party has taken up
the Philippine question instead OF
discussing the trust question. There
is not one man out of ten. thousand
IN the United States who give cent
about the Philippine islands and all
their people and resources and
wealth. They are away over yondel
on the other side of the world, in
habited by Spaniards, Indians and
niggers and have no more relation
with the United States in any re-
spect than hades has with heaven.
On the other hand the trusts effect
everybody. When a man realizes
that his dinner pail is empty and
that it was made empty by the
trusts then he becomes desperate
The man with an empty stomach is
not proper person to talk to about
the Philippine islands. Talk to him
about something nearer at home and
he will be interested. Tell him that
it is trust that keeps up the price
of beef, the price of all meats, and
he will say at once let's get rid OF
the trusts and let the Philippine
islands go to grass. Touch a man:
stomach and you touch every organ
in his body, from his head down tC
his pocketbook.

with your breeches sagging in the

means that your sole religion is

make some hearthstOne desOlate.

A Notable Health Resort.

The Ozone Belt Of Louisiana situated
in ST. Tammany parish, lying immedi-
ately north of of Lake POntchartrain,
piney woods country traversed by the
East Louisiana railroad, a connection OF
the Queen and Crescent Route, and at
It's farthereSt point. CovingtOn, La,
only sixty miles by rail from New Or
leans. the metropolis of the south, is
perhaps the least known and least writ
ten about than any health resort in the
country, and yet has in the immediate
vicinity the best reputation TO- health
giving qualities of any locality In the
south, if not in the whole country.
1t has long been recognized by the
residents of New Orleans and the state
of Louisiana as place where those suf-
fering from lung troubles, feYers, stom-
ach, liver and other organic diseases, as
well as general debility, can obtain per-
feet rest and almost instant relief, and
in most cases permanent cure. So con-
fident are residents of this favored 10
cality of it's perfect healthfulness and
their immunity from contagious diseases
that quarantine against infected locall-
tiles is never considered necessary or
desirable The most noticeable fea-
lures are the health giving Ozone piney
woods atmosphere and the splendid
spring water. The winter climate Is
soft and warm, and the heat of summer
is tempered by salt breeZes from the
Gulf of Mexico and Lake Pontchartrain.
The nights are always agreeable and
mosquitoes are almost unknown.
Thousands of pc pie every year speI
the summer there in hotel and cottages.
Many for health reasons and many 9th
ers because they find pleasure and COM
fort in living IN the splendid air of the
pine woods.
Nature has done all that could be
wished to make this region favorable
for mans use. Man has yet done little
to show his appreciation the goods the
Gods have offered. There are thous-
ans of acres of lands available to the
home seeker DESTROYS of living where
the vigors of northern climate can
surely be avoided.

Here is a remarkable verdict rem
dered by coroner's jury in North
Carolina few days ago, the subject
being a negro lynched for rape.
While the verdict is little out of the
usual given in by cOroner's jurIes it is
nevertheless public sentiment and
fits like the paper on the wall. The
jury saw no need of mincing matters,
but expressed a personal sentiment
as we'll as the result of the lnvestiga-
ton: "We, the undersigned; en-
panelled as jury to inquire into the
cause of the death of Tom Jones, find
that he came to his death by gun
shot wounds inflicted by parties un-
known to the Jury, obviously by an
outraged public, acting in defense OF
their homes, wives, daughters and
children. In view of the enormity of
the crime committed by said Tom
Jones, alias Frank Hill, we think
they would have been recreant to
their duty as good citizens had they
acted otherwise"

No such strikes happen in the south.
If man does not want to work it is
his privilege to quit when some one
else will be put in his place. Some
times there is a little disturbance,
but the militia does not have to be
called out and then stick bayonets in
