Surely the negro lecturer, Council,
who breaches from the text "Cleanli-
ness is next to Goodness" deserves all
the fame he is acquiring these days
through his lectures to the negro race.
He advises them, first, to get soap and
water and after learning their use
then to set about getting education,
religion, etc. This original speaker is
now drawing great crowds in the
delta, so we learn from exchanges, and,
in consequence, there is run on soap,
and some of the too-plentiful water of
that region is now being utilized.
Would that each and every one of the
race would give heed to this wise
Council"
That splendid Mississippi woman
Mrs. Fannie ]. Kicks, has added one
more to her long list of noble benefac-
lions, by giving the Kings Daughters
of Yazoo City valuable lot on which
to build hospital. Il. H. N"
1t is earnestly hoped that the col
lection which was taken up in all of
the schools on June 5 president Da-
Wis birthday will more than suffice
for the purpose for which 1t was in
tended, and that there is now money
enough in the "Beauvoir Fund" to fin.
ish paying for the home for our old
soldiers and to fit it up worthily for
them. Surely it would be a beautiful
thing for the children and the chill
drens children of the veterans to
make a free-will gift that will accom-
plish this end.
Among the hundreds of young men
who are this year armed and equipped
with diplomas, licenses aud Other

We have always believed that knit
ting mills would prove paying invest
ments in our section, hence our very
great satisfaction at the success Of
this venture at Laurel. The mill there
has an output (not capacity, mark
you) of 120 dozen socks and stockings
daily 1t has fifty employees, most of
whom are young girls from 10 to IS
years, and they are pretty well paid
and seem happy in their work and
their association. (Some Of them are
far too young to be working in any
factory, however,. Would that these
small mills Cor any kind Of manufac-
turing plant) could be multiplied a
thousand-fold throughout Mississippi.
Then would we be prosperous indeed,
and into our open gates would come a
class of citizens worthy to live in and
become a part Of this garden spot of
the earth,

We cannot blame Rosedale for tell
ing the world how proud she is of the
evidences of progress that are visible
on all sides of that pretty delta town.
One cause for congratulation lies In
the fact that more than 200 carloads
Of brick will be landed there within the
fortnight, every one of which will con-
tribute its share toward the handsome
buildings about to be constructed. One
of these is the S0-ton oil mill of the
Southern Cotton Oil Company. An
other-and the greatest-cause for re-
joicing lies in the fact that the town
is about to be piped with fine artesian
water-thanks to its $4,000 water
works system. Several handsome brick
stores, office buildings, etc, are being
erected, and, to quote from one of
their own correspondents, with an oil
mill, compress, and the immense Ward
Lumber Company's plant which is To-
Gated here, waterworks and electric
lights, good freight rates, due to river
competition, Rosedale, already the
leading town in Bolivar county, will
become in the near future one of the
best delta towns"

The Aberdeen Examiners pen is
never idle, when the interests Of our
people or our State are concerned, and
1t has struck many decisive blow for,
and sent forth many a fair prophesy
of our future greatness. In recent
issue we find this: 1--WE were told
several years ago by q prominent
Northwest ranchman that Mississippi
was the finest cattle breeding region
on the continent, that careful inquiry
showed that she raised at least four
calves out of every five born, while in
the Northwest one out of three was
considered a fair estimate. He said
tnat many ranchmen were thinking Of
starting breeding farms in our State.
Since that time the buying Of Missis-
sippi calves for transportation to the
ranges of the Mississippi coun-
try has assumed immense proportions,
and shipments have been made from
almost every depot in the State. Hap
PLY our people are generally awaken
ing to the value of their calves, and
these exports Of young stock are rap
idly decreasing"

The county election commissioners
must be appointed within sixty days
before the Congressional election in
November, by the State board of cleo
ton commissioners, consisting of the
Governor, Secretary of State and AT
torney-G General. There must be ap-
pointed three county election commits
sieners for each of the seventy-five
counties. These men must be freehold
ers and electors in the county for
which they shall be appointed and
shall not all be Of the same political
party. They shall continue in Office
for two years unless sooner removed
and until their successors are appoint
ed. One of the three commissioners of
each county shall be designated in his
commission as ticket commissioner.
There is grief in many hearts and
homes in Mississippi because the Death
Angel has borne from her earthly
home that lovely woman-a model in
her relations as wife, mother and
friend-Mrs. Julia Kennon Jayne of
Brandon. Earth is the poorer hence
forth, because she is no longer among
us, but heaven is richer for the coming
of such as this angelic spirit. Her
children have the sympathy of all who
knew their mother, and the priceless
memories that cluster around her ex-
allied womanhood, to soften the grief
in their hearts through these days Of
heaviness.
Carrollton has Joined the long pro
cession and will sooR put up an oil
mill.
Some of the young people should
get their heads together and organize
park committee. This committee
should be invested with the power and
authority to create park fund by
public subscription and build park
somewhere out from the business por-
ton of the city where the young folks
could go these beautiful moonlight
nights or at other times and enjoy
themselves. A large and nice pavil
ion should be erected and occasionally
have sweet music by one of the bands
in Hattiesburg."

NOTES OF PAST AND CURRENT EVENTS.

We are glad to give our readers the
following information concerning a
cotton gin, which, 1t is said, will rev
olutionize the cotton industry. The
gin is the invention Of Mr.. Brosius. It
has no saws, and the cotton is to be
prepared in advance at practically no
cost. The gin removes the lint from
the seed, leaving the hull as bare al
most as a shelled peanut. The staple
is not cut by the saws and is therefore
much longer than that ginned in the
old way. A sample of ordinary cotton
ginned by Mr.. Brosius was mistaken
for Sea Island by an experienced cot
ton man. 1t is estimated that cotton
ginned on the new machine will sell
from one to two cents higher than
from the ordinary gin. This will mean
an increase of nearly $5O,OOO,OOO a
year in raw cotton.
