put up every dollar required to Sc

TEXAS CATTLE IN ST. LOUIS
Guy Pierce Sells Sixteen Head
at Eight Cents Pound.

The highest price ever paid for
Texas cattle not fattened for the
show ring was paid in St. Louis yes
terday. There We're sixteen head
and they belonged to Guy Pierce Of
Waxahachie and Col. T.. B. Harold
of Fort Worth, who are shipping
cattle this year under the firm name
of Harold & Pierce. The cattle av-
eraged in weight l ,552 pounds and
sold for eight cents per pound, or
sl24.l6 each. The cattle were from
the famous s. S. Burnett G66 ranch
and were 3s and As in the spring.
They were purchased from Mr.. Bur
nett last fall and were on feed of
cotton seed hulls between six and
seven months in this city. They
were Herefords a d ShOrthorns
mixed and were sold by Mr.. Burnett
TO Messrs. Harold & Pierce at S2S
per head. The cost of feeding is es-
timated at about $50. The rest was
profit.
The telegram announcing the sale
was received yesterday afternoon
by Mr.. Pierce and he was naturally
elated over the information it con-
tanned. Mr.. Pierce is an expert
enced feeder and has taken especial
pains in fattening these cattle for

PRESENT, PAST AND FUTURE
A Paper Prepared by Ulin New
ton for COmmencent Ex~
ercises Texas College.

Iuasmuch as 1 was sick ten days
or more prior to the closing exer-
eises of Texas College, To the ex-
tent that was advised by our fami-
ly physician 10 not attempt 10 speak
at the close OF school and the fur
ther reason thai such explanation
was not made at closing exercises,
and further that my friends would
perhaps like to know what i had
prepared for the close have asked
THE DAIfY LIGHT to publish the
anne, which is aR follows:
ouR TINE: PRESENT AND FUTURE.
To-day we live In an age the grand
est the world has ever known.
To-day lie a day Of progress. Could
the King of the Heavens ia his
MONDAY fiIght reveal TO mea the
actions of past ages-of the time
when Rome at the word made ma
tions tremble, when Napoleon was
In the zenith of his power-I say
that all of these would vanish, when
before our &stonished eyes rolled a
vision of the progress of the present
century. And further, j believe
that the present will I've o'ershad-
owed by future years.
This age may lack the martial
spirit of the Caesars or of Napo-
leon; II may Lack the high ideals of
chiya airy, the taste and culture of
the Pericieaa age But when we study
the conditions of the present day, +,
and compare them with those OF for
mer ages that have rapidly reached
the meridian OF their glory, and
more rapidly sunk beneath the west
ern horizon, to rise no more, we
must come to the conclusion that
the twentieth century 10 the age Of
human progress.
From one standpoint OF view, the
people realize more fully the neces-
sity of systematic physical training.
The great universities Of today have
their weli-equipped gymnasiums for
the purpose of developing strong
physical constitutions. They know
that it takes q strong and healthy
body for a vigorous and active
mind.
This age Is one of political ad-
vaneement. The proceedings of our
great national government have
been reduced TO u purer state. Ii
and bribery stiil exist, IL
In true that the practice is less fire.
Quent. People OF all classes, high
as well as low, acknowledge that the
is as Lincoln was ac-
to define it of the people,
by the people, and for the people.
The time was when none but lords |

press their opinions and cast their

now that all may enjoy the rights of |
suffrage. The deeds, both good and |
evil, of our public men are held up
before the people, hence 1T Is diff

men w III bt dS Lful ullftul anu EfOBEHt
Ia political affairs as in any other
vocation of life.
This age is indeed practical one.
In business relations the clearest,
shortest and most concise methods
are being employed. This abbrevi-
ates time, lightens labor, and re-
duces expense. The day-dreamer
has ceased his dreaming and has
awakened to the fact that he must
live a real, not an imaginary life
and, fulfilling quotation of Long
fellow, that he must
''Be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
otill achieving, Stiil pursuing.
Learn 10 labor and 10 wait.
The practieability of this age is
shown by the methods of instruct
ing the pupils in Uncommon schools
of today. The most practical stud
les are being adopted. 1t is also
shown by the innumerable miles of
rail that are being lain annual
ly. There is more prospecting for
minerals, hence the great number of
states and countries that are being
turned into mining fields. Com
merce encircles the globe. Vessels
may be seen on all waters carrying
their immense and bountiful car
goes Of freight. All these things TO
supply the practical wants and
needs of the people. Every effort
is put forth to make living less cost
ly and more comfortable.
Common sense is another chief
characteristic of the people of our
time. Common sense has been de-
fined as that power which enables
men to see things as they are. I'M
willing to be imposed upon, men
strive to know the truth. Whafev-
er In traditional institutions cannot
justify itself by the standard of util-
ity is slowly but surely abandoned.
1t lis a fact that this tendency is car
ried too far. Men too often sell
their principles to buy wealth and
power. Although attended W t h
these difficulties, this feature with
out doubt, deserves to be marked as
characteristic of superiority in
this age.
A great social reform has taken
place In the last few year. The ten
dency is that all people shall be
placed on an equal footing. Al
fhsugh there exists many differences
among the people in some countries,
the time is coming when all will be
allowed equal privileges of citizen
ship. The amusements in the So
cial circle are less brutal and cruel
than in former ages, as when the
combats of the amphi-
theater furnished amusements for
of people. These con-
tests first consisted of brute against
brute, second of brute against man,
till at last the climax was reached
by placing man against man. Not
so with the amusements of today.
They are based on higher planes.
The games, being more mlld, do not
tend To so brutalize the people. Law
provides each prisoner prompt and
Just trial. This gives men an OPP
portunity to regain their principles
Of manhood and return again into
society. Thus in the famous Du-
rant case the prisoner was allowed
four years to try to prove his inno-
sence.

An Organization to Be
Effected Which
WILL BE A STATE CONCERN
Probably a Meeting to Organize
Will Be Called
TO MEET AT JACKSON SOON
Some of the County Associations
Contracting for Next Year.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Dec. GA plan has been
suggested and is now being favorably
discussed by the truckfarmers Of Mis-
sissippi for the organization OF state
association, and it is probably that a
call will be issued early next year for
the truckfarmers of the state to assem-
Bile in Jackson for that purpose.
During the past six months quite a
number of county associations OF
truck growers have beeu organized in
the state, and it is assured that the
acreage devoted to this purpose will
show an increase Of at least thirty
per cent next season. These county
associations are recognized by the
railroad and express companies and
reduced rates granted to the members
for transportation of their products TO
the northern markets, But 1T is now
believed that much additional good
can be accomplished through state
organization which will exercise an
advisory jurisdiction over the indus
try and result in better average Of
prices end more satisfactory shipping
arrangem ents.
Smao of the county associations are
already engaged with their contracts
for the coming year and placing Or
ders for fruit and vegetable crates
and boxes. For the past two or
three seasons there has been much
complaint over the difficulty in Sc
curing quick transit of the products,
and uniformity Of freight rates
and express, and the leading growers
believe that by placing these matters
in the hands of a state association
more satisfactory arrangements can
be made and Mississippi will be &C
corded a more commanding position
in the spring markets, especially on
Strawberries and tomatoes. The large
increase in the truck farming acreage
of Texas has emphasized the necessity
for better protection of interests in
Mississippi.

THIS AND THAT"


Jackson, Dec 2.-"This and
that" will be the title of n joint lee
ture to be written by Private John
Allen of Mississippi and Ex-Governor
Bob Taylor Of Tennessee. 1t is learned
that the two distinguished fun makers
have commenced the preliminary
work on the lectures, and Will employ
odd moments during the next few
months getting the product ready for
joint delivery at chautauqua courses
and in lecture courses next summer.
An interesting rumor is going the
rounds that Allen and Taylor had a
great deal of difficulty in reaching an
agreement as to which should speak
first, and the matter has not yet been
satisfactorily settled, but it has been
decided that they will either take the
platform turn about, or will speak
simultaneously from opposite ends of
the stage, i'll manner somewhat
akin to that of the men in the Olden
minstrel show.

Smallpox Again Breaks
Out in Places
NEGROES ARE THE SUFFERERS
Reported, However, That the Dis
ease is of Mild Type.
VACCINE POINTS ARE WANTED
Chicken PoX Has Also Appeared at
Insane Hospital.
Special to the Daily Progress.

jackson, Dec. 22.---Informatio
reaches the office of the state board
of health that smallpox has once more
made its appearance i'll several coun-
ties and is steadily spreading among
the negro population.
The disease is a recurrence of the
epidemic prevailing III a number of
counties last year, and the health an-
thorities have concluded that it will
make itself apparent each year until
radical steps are taken TO stamp out
the germs in the infected locality.
Reports of the disease thus far re-
ceived state that it is of mild type,
with a very low percentage of NOR
tality. but, has been the case in re-
cent years, increases III virulence AS
the malady spreads and communities
become more thoroughly infected.
In two or three counties in north
eastern Mississippi where the disease
has appeared the physicians are call
ing it contagioso, which virtually
means smallpox of a mild form. The
board of health has received quite
number of requests for vaccine points,
and they are being furnished to the
county health officers wherever called
for.
At the Mississippi insane hospital
chickenpox has appeared among the
patients in some of the wards, but
thus far it has been of a harmless
variety, and with no fatalities re-
ported.

CAR SHORTAGE
Lumber Men of South MiSSiSsipI i
Hit Hand.

Lumber Men of South MiSSissip i
Hit Hand.
Superintendent Richard Morgan of
the Gulf and Ship Island road, who
spent yesterday afternoon i'll the city
on official business, says that the car
shortage is very materially affecting
the service of the road, and that it is
practically impossible to get cars to
do the hauling Of the road.
The bringing Of the timber ont of
the timber section from the many
lumber mills is made very difficult
because of the car shortage, and the
lumbermen Of Sonth Mississippi are
perhaps struck harder than any one
class By the inability of the railroad
to get cars.
According TO Mr.. Morgan, the@ioad
now has fifty men at work on the new
branch. which is 10 run from Merden
hall to Columbia and maLe connec
tions with the Columbia branch, max
ing the branch road one Of the main
lines of the road
The superintendent of the road
states that three of the six big en-
gines ordered several months ago
from the Baldwin works have been
received and are now doing service on
the road, and that the other three
will be sent out by the Baldwin COM
pany in the near future. - Jackson
