only is Cupid playing havoc with the
largest factory Of this city, the Indiana
Match company, but the troubles of
this concern now involve the. race
question. The company employees
about 1875 girls and women in the
packing department to pack the
matches in boxes, and has experienced
great difficulty arising from the fact
that when they get an adequate force
of girls to do the work, a number OF
them get married. + d
Within the last few weeks there
have been thirty-hve or forty mar
riages of girls in this department. OW-
ing to this shortage of white girls,
the company was obliged to employ
colored.s women. Yesterdayf five col-,
5ored women went to work alongside
the white women and this morning
the entire force of: white women went
out on strike, Il demanding that the
.colored help. be- ousted: AS the plant
cannot be operated, without the girls,
the employers. We're, obliged TO dis
charge the colored women. This step
satisfied the whites land work was
resumed by them at once.

The Need of the Farmers Son.

Although the farm keeps the bal
ance of trade in the nations favor,
furnishes two-thirds of our exports,
contributes to our manufacturing
supremacy by providing cheap food
for our mechanics, comparatively
little has been done toward educat-
ing the farmer for his work. To be
sure, the United States has done
more for him than any other coun.
try. In 1862, Congress endowed
agricultural colleges to teach the
sciences relating to agriculture. In
1867, experiment stations were pro-
vided for where research might be
made into the operations of nature.
But. considering that Americans
pay more money for public educa-
ton than any other people on earth,
a comparatively small proportion of
the sum is devoted to stimulating
and aiding that half of our popula
ton who cultivate the soil. The
tendency of primary, education has
been TO lead the country youth away
from the, farm instead of helping
him in the study of those sciences
relating to production. 1t would be
polite and patriotic 10 incorporate
into,-theSfarm youths education
some knowledge that shall bear di-
rectly upon his future life and
work.-JAMEs WILSON, Sec. of Ag-
riculture, in the Y outh's Companion.

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE.
Henry Watterson's Courier-J ournal
Announces a New Policy.

During the three decades the
Louisville Courier Journal has stood
unalterably and conspiciously before
the public as the representative of
the great commonality of the people
against both the rob ner baron, seek
ing through the accretion of ill got
money to steal away the peoples
liberty by stealing away their frau
chise rights, and the ready-tool- of
the robber baron, the bandit poll
tician, masquerading as a statesman
and patriot the better to serve the
ends of his master. In fulfilling
this high function it has sometimes
had to go fast and sometimes to 60
slow, sometimes to cry "onward,"
and sometimes to cry "halt," some
times to drive at the root of things,
and sometimes to drive ahead; but
never changing the direction of it's
movement and always true to the
underlying principle of it's being,
expressed by the simple demand for
.'the greatest good for the greatest
number"
With the advent of the new year,
that is on the first of January, 1902,
the Courier-J ournal began a cam,
paign from which it looks for COM
handing results, and the better to
reach the objects it has before it,
the twicea week edition was chang
ed to once a-week edition, return
ing to the old Weekly Courier-J Jour
nal, which for quarter of century
was literally political bible to mil
lions of Americans who knew they
could trust both its prescience and
disinterestedness.
The new Weekly Courier Journal
is modern in every respect, and is
paper for the home. 1t is issued
every Wednesday, and it's ten or
twelve eight-column pages are filled
with the best work of the best writ
ers. The price of the paper is 81 a
year, in advance, and it is well
worth it.
By a special arrangement with
The publishers of the Courier Jour
nal you can get that paper and the
BULLETIN both one year for 81 rs.

ed In Ilshomlngo county is
right through the river bot
toms on the south side OF the
stream. At points it is with
in five chain lengths of the
river, while at no point it is
more than a mile from the
stream.
The objective point of the
engineers at the present time
is the famous sulphur springs
of Tishomingo county near
Iuka. There will be devia-
ton from the river course to
reach the springs, from which
point the survey will be di-
rect to Tuscumbia. 1t will
be about midway between the
river and the Southern Rail
way line unless there are
still further deviations to
reach Iuka on the south or
Riverton on the river.
Tishomingo is the only
county in Mississippi that
this projected line will pene-
trate. The county forms the
northeastern corner of the
state. The line drops down
into that county, following
the course of the Tennessee
river to obviate the necessity
of bridging the river. Two
bridge crossings would be
necessary otherwise. To build
even the few miles provided
in Tishomingo county will
necessitate charter grants
from Mississippi as we'll as
Tennessee and Alabama char
ter rights.
Much of the preliminary
work of the engineers be-
tween the Mississippi- Ala
bama line and Tuscum bia
has already been accomplish
ed, as has good portion of
the work in Tennessee. The
surveys between Tuscum bia
and Birmingham will be taxi
en- up after the preliminary
lines from the Illinois Cen
trail line near jackson have
been completed to Tuscum-
bia.
The merchants in the
towns along the route of
these surveys and the farmers
in the surrounding country
are profiting by the work.
The engineers draw on the
merchants and farmers for
their camp supplies, and pur-
chase the best in stock. For
Christmas days and the holt
day season they made extern
sive purchases from the Iuka
merchants for their commits
saIy department. The citi-
zens of Tishomingo county
and Iuka are very enthusiast
tic over the prospects for the
new railroad line. There is
already talk among the Iuka
people Of making strong eff
forts to have the line pass
through that town instead of
several miles away, as the
present surveys provide.

The Country Roads.

This is the season when
the country roads get as bad
as the back streets of Mem
phis, and the farmers regis
ter VOWS as false as dicers'
oaths that they will build
better thoroughfares the next
summer and fall. Next to
good schools, good roads are
the subject of most vital i'm
portance to the State. 1t is
impossible to have a high
state of civilization without
both churches and schools,
but they are of no value un-
less they are properly atten d.
ed, and they can have no
such attendance where the
roads are so bad that people
cannot travel.
In half the country neigh
borhoods of the State the
roaus are so deep in mud for
several months in the winter
and spring that the people
can't get anywhere unless
they walk or go horse-b back.
This shuts out social COM
munication to a large extent,
and makes life on the farm
so isolated and lonely that it
is unattractive to all who
crave the companionship of
their fellows. 1t is one of
the chief reasons why so
many farmers are selling or
renting their farms and NOV
ing to the towns, where they
can have the advantages of
churches and schools and
society for their children.
The loss to the rural districts
and, therefore, of the whole
State on this account alone
is very great, for what we
need is more farmers and
better ones, not non=produc-
ing town residents. The ma
terial and direct losses to the
farmers themselves by reason
of bad roads are beyond COM
putation. They waste enough
in the way of time in hauling
small loads to market over
muddy, rutty highways to
builda good turnpike in every
county of the State every
year. If we take into con-
sideration the wear and tear
on wagons and teams and on
the morals OF the farmers,
the loss would be doubled.
Nothing would pay the farm
ers Of the State better than
to devote one month of every
twelve to road making for a
few years. They would
make their money back in
every case the first season,
and have benefits besides
years to come. Its not bard
to convince them of this fact
at this season, when they
can't do anything but suffer
the inconvenience and swear
about it, but they forget it
when good weather comes,
and the roads get so good
they don't need them. 1t is
indeed a repetition of the
"Arkansas Travellers" case,
and nothing can change it
except the slow process of
evolution toward a higher
