came to mill by the river side,
half mile long and nearly as wide,
With forest of sacks and an army of men,
Toling at furnace and shovel and pen.
"What magnificent plant cried,
And man with smudge on his face. replied,
Its Morgan's."
I entered a train and rode all day
On regal coach and right OF way,
Which reached Its arm all ovei the land,
In a system too large to understand.
"A splendid property this!" cried,
And man with plate on his hat REPLIED
Its Morgan's"
sailed on great ship trim and true
From pennant to keel and cabin and crew.
And the ship was one OF a monster fleet,
A first cl SIS navy could scarce compete.
"What beautiful craft she Isl CRIED
And man with akimbo legs replied,
IT'S Morgan's"
dwelt In a nation filled with pride.
Her people were many her lands were wide;
Her record In war and science and art,
Proved greatness of muscle and mind and heart.
"What grand old country 1t Is y cried,
And man with his chest In he air replied
"I's Morgans's"
I went to heaven. The jasper walls
lowered high and wide, and the golden halls
Shone bright beyond. But STANCE new mark
Was over the gate-viz; Private Park
And saint with livery on, replied
'sIt's Morgan's."
I went to the only place left, I'll take
A chance on the birthstone lake;
Or, perhaps, may be allowed to sit
Ga the griddled floor of the bottomless pit"
But leering lout with horns on his face
Cried out as he forked me of the place,

The comments by Northern pa
pers and magazines upon the OUT
come Of the recent gubernatorial
campaign in the State of Missis-
sippl are exceedingly Notifying,
to say the least. Without an
exception, every one of these peri
odicals the writer has seen, re-
gardless of political views, has
criticized our sister state adverse.
". It is folly to say that we are
fndiNerent of the opinions OF our
Northern brethren. The South is
more vitality interested in national
politics than any other section Of
the union, and we need the
friendship of friendly-incknea
peonle Ii the north more than We
ere willing to admit.

THE OUTPUT

:. The output is the Keynote to profit.
In deciding upon price at which to
sell, manufacturer, no matter what ar
ticle he has to offer, considers how many
he is likely to sell, and bases his charges
accordingly. 1t is quite reasonable, too.
If tailor sells only two suits of clothes
each week, his income must come from
the profits of these two suits. If he can
however, double or treble his output
without materially increasing his work
ing expenses, he can naturally afford to
make the profit on each suit much less.
Again, this output decides the buying
power. 1t is only necessary to state that
there have been manufactured and sold
over

PLEA FOR A REFORM SCHOOL.

We publish in to-day's issue a
letter rom Mr.. Chas. Schurz, city
Judge of Monroe, La, who makes
strong plea for a State reforma-
tory. In view of the fact that a
new legislature will meet next May
the importance of a State reform
atory should be thoroughly agi-
tated. Our law-making bodies
we have had formerly have not
been sufficiently educated to APP
preciate the crying need OF a place
in which youthful offenders might
be reclaimed from criminal life.
An important and rather re-
markable departure from the orli-
nary Was made recently by grand
jury in Ouachita parish. After
ignoring all charges against juve-
nile criminals, it said:
"During our session several vio-
lations of the law by juveniles
have been reported to us, and ow-
ing to their tender age were of the
opinion that better results would
be attained both for themselves
and the general public by confine-
ment in reformatory than in a
jail or penitentiary, and as our in
formation is that such offenders
are more or less common in every
community, We digress from the
matters usually contained in the
report of a grand jury by making
the suggestion herein, with the
desire of adding our mite to any
effort that may be made towards
the establishment of such an in
stitution by the state"

THE JANUARY pRIrlARY ADOPTED

Every reader of the BANNER will
heartily endorse the action of the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee in changing the date of the
gubernatorial primary from De-
cember Is, 1908, to january 10, 1904
This had been the original decls-
ion of the committee at its meet
ing held over a month ago, but,
for some reason or other, hardly
had it decided upon the January
date than it was changed to De-
cember 1908. It is we'll known
that up to the holidays the grind
ing season claims the entire at
tention of many people through
out the country parishes, who
will even consider an election
however important it may be-of
sufficient moment to deter them
from their labors. There are
many people from the town and
cities also who go to the sugar
plantations and remain there at
work up to the holiday period,
when grinding operations gener-
ally terminate. All these people
would have had no voice in a
primary election held in Deem
Der. In changing the date to jan
uary 10, 1904, the central COM
mittee of the party has acted
wisely also as regards the legal
side of the proposition. To have
insisted upon voters paying their
poll taxes twenty days ahead of
time in 1908 because it suited the
Central Committee to order an
election at that time would have
been distasteful to the voters,
would have increased the disgust
of many for political affairs and
would have been impractical, be-
sides the two years provision OF
the Constitution would have been
incomplete and this fact would
probably have furnished good
grounds upon which to base a
contest as to the validity of the
election. We have no doubt of
the election of our favorite candi-
date. Judge N. c. Blanchard, by
a large majority. But we must
not lose sight of the fact that this
is a "family fight" between Judge
Blanchard and Gen. Jastremski,
and they are generally the worst
kind unless entire fairness and
mutual generosity prevail. We
must therefore make every reas-
enable concession demanded by
our opponents to the end that the
result may be final and decisive
and without the least particle of
animosity. The BANNER earnest
ly believes in the doctrine of nom
mating primaries, and that every
Democrat of whatever hue, should
vie in making the present expert
ment such a complies success that
it will be adopted permanently
and never departed from hereaf-
ter. The last action of the State
Central Committee is exactly as it
should be. 1t may be concession
made to the opponents of Judge
Blanchard, but it virtually "takes
the wind out of their Sails" and
cannot effect the brilliant chances
of that distinguished gentleman
in any particular as far as we can
see. Absolute fairness in the
primary and mutual tolerance is
or ought to be the motto of every
Democrat to-day. The least dis
ruption in the party, brought
about by questionable methods,
will give our always alert Repub-
lican foe a good fighting chance
in the general April election.

A strange disease has mace its
appearance among the horses in the
northern section Of Frederick county
and much alarm has been caused by
its presence. Il in some particulars
resembles CHAMBERS and appears to be
highly contagious. The first visible
symptom is q white secretion that
forms about the eyes. The nostrils
become sore and ulcers form in the
mouth and the animal generally
becomes languid and weakens, dying
within forty-eight hours. Some
'rmers have lost fiveo or six animals
others two and three. So far
'sease has baff1ed the efforts of

amended the House bill lowering the

ment is q concession OF % per cent to
