town of like size in the state.

town of like size in the state.
Looking into the future, the coming
fall will witness the completion of the
oil mill and the waterworks system, and
q number of handsome brick business
blocks. The oil mill which will be one
of the most complete and up-to-date in
the South, will be valuable addition
to the industrial development of the
town, aud be the means of bringing
thousands of dollars of trade to this
market.
AS for the waterworIss system, its
value is too well appreciated to need
mention. With an abundant supply OF
pure water, our community will be
one of the healtliiest i'll the state; pro-
lection against disastrous fires will be
insured, and lower insurance rates will
prevail. The system will be complete iii
every detail, and i'll addition arrange
ments have been made with the oil mill
company for the installation of an cleo
trio plant of sufficient power to supply
the town with lights.
Besides these enterprises, Rosedale also
has one of the largest sawmlls i'll the
Delta and number of smaller industries
The fish trade is also an important item
in the business of the town, thousands
of pounds of the firny tribe being shipped
weekly from this point.
Altogether, the growth of Rosedale
has been remarkable, and the future
holds much more in store. A united effort
on the part of Our citizens is all that is
needed. Let all work in harmony for
the upbuilding OF the town. Induce in
vestors to come here, and point out to
them the advantages of this locality as
manufacturing site. Pull together and
we will soon have the banner town OF
the Delta.

Big Head vs.. Little Head.

The question as to whether the size Of
the head is correlated with intellectual
attainment has been discussed for years
in scientific circles, but very little has
come out of the discussion proving the
case either one way or the other. The
matter seems to have been again'opened
by a certain Prof Pearson, who has
been making series of elaborate meas
urements of knowledge boxes of a
number Of undergraduates of Cambridge
University whose careers were known.
The result Of these measurements and
subsequent sttidics seem to prove that
the size and shape of mans brain pan
has nothing to do with the breadth of
his intellect; that man with small
head is Just as liable to carry off the
honors of his year as one blessed with a
Uranium of dimensions out of the ordi-
nary run. A second series of studies and
measurements carried through the
schools gave similar results. while a
third series of researches of wider range
resulted in the conclusion that Ia very
brilliant maj, may have head slightly
larger than the average, but that the m
crease is so small it cannot form any
element in our Judgment of ability. In
cidentally, Prof Pearson points out that
if the workingman have a smaller head
on the average than the professional
man, this is rather due to the better nu-
triton of the latter. The Chinaman is
noted for the size of his brain, yet he is
not in popular opinion blessed with a
greater portion of genius than the aver

THE POLITICAL HARVEST.
rIany Distinguished Mississippians
Willing to Serve Their State
In an Official Way.


Below we copy an interesting article
from a Jackson special to the New Or
leans City Item, giving a summary ot
the political outlook i'll this state. Ac-
cording to the observation and opinion
Of the correspondent, there will be 10
dearth of candidates Quite a number
have already ANNOUNCED their candidacy,
and many more are now feeling the pub.
Ec pulse with a view to entering the
field. Gubernatorial candidates seem to
be in the majority, many of the most
prominent men of the state having been
named in this connection. 1t is proble-
NAUTICAL whether q third of those who
have been mentioned will make the race,
but there is no doubt that the voters
will have a large field from which to
select a chief executive, and should they
fail to elevate the proper man to the
chair of state the blame will be on them
alone. The other state Offices are as
yet attracting but little attention, but
the election is some time off and interest
will grow as the day approaches. The
Item correspondent says -
"The prospect is good for a large
string of entries for the gubernatorial
race which will be formally inaugurated
duIing the coming summer and picnic
and barbecue season. 1t is not believed
that the lists are by any means closed,
though some of the aspirants are al
ready galoping around the course.
Word comes from the northeastern part
of the state that former Attorney Cen
zeal Wiley N. Nash, of Starkville, has
SHE'D his castor into the arena, and from
the delta comes information that Ed.
Noel is thinking seriously of doing the
same thing. 1t is known that A. A.
Kincannon, president of the Industrial
Institute and College at Columbus, is a
candidate, as is also J. K. Vardaman,
editor of the Greenwood Commonwealth
Acknowledgement Monroe McClurg is
said to be seriously thinking of entering
the race, and Judge Critz, of West Point,
and !. F. McCooL of Kosciusko, are also
mentioned in this connection. Somehow
or other, candidates for other state Off
ces have not materialized, but is gener-
alv understood that Gen. 7. M. Henry,
of Jackson will be the next auditor, and
that the present auditor w. Q. Cole,
Monroe McClurg may be attorney gen
eral another term if he wants to, and Ed
Nall can t be beat for land commissioner.
Writ Adams is not likely to have any
opposit ion for revenue agent. Captain
Ed Brown will have good chance for
supreme court clerkship. The railroad
commissioners are to be elected by dis
tricts, and it is expected the candidates
will be as thick as bees. L. Pink Smith
of Greenville, and H. M. Quinn, of Cen
treville, both newspaper men, are NEIL
toned for secretary of state, while the
lieutenant governorship is so far going a
begging. The election is a year off, and
just now overshadowed by the congres-
sonal election, but interest is being man
ifested i'll every direction and the chances
are that the campaign will be long and
exciting one"

EMERSON n. GEORGE

The smoke of the battle for the
lSpeakership of the House Of Repre-
sentative has cleared away and the
contest was one that viii not be easily
forgotten in political circles. No fight
! for Legislative office for years has been
so vigorously fought, and the entire
State watched the contest with an IN
usual degree Of interest. Hon. Newton
\. Morris, who succeeded in securing
the office, is young man, popular and
possesses a magnetism that won for
| him many staunch friends who were
ever ready to aid him in his successful

politicians of the State were enrolled

outcome Of the ballot.

ready made his mark in Georgia and
his career has only begun. Hon.
Emerson H. George, of Morgan county

start to finish, and while at no time was
the vote for him equal to that cast for
either Of his opponents he was sup
ported by men who were earnest and
loyal and by their frmness commanded
the respect of everyone. These men
knew their leader, they knew he was

House and they fought gallant fight
