DROP IN INDIANA COAL PRICES.
Easing Of Demand From Chicago Buy.
ers Reflected in Quotations.

Terre Haute. Ind, Feb. 1.-THE price
of coal at the Indiana mines has fallen
because of the slack bidding by Chicago
buyers who have been in the field sew
eral weeks bidding against one another.
The mild weather and better railroad
facilities have enabled the large con-
sumers to get supplies sufficient to dis
pei the scare of a shutdown of indus
tries. 1t is said that some buyers who
two weeks ago were offering SO to 81
have placed orders at 50. The Indiana
gas belt is about the only section that
is making strenuous efforts to obtain
large and quick shipments.

The following ought to be copied by

The strain Of Teaching.

Professor thinner, the famous fe-
male brain specialist, declares that in
every eighty-five female patients in the
lunatic asylums Of Germany, Russia,
Austria and Switzerland there is one
schoolteacher. In Prussia there is one
teacher to every $50 women of the pop
ulation. 1t seems to follow, therefore.
that mental disorders among teachers
are four times as numerous there as
they ought to be. The case is still
worse with those young women who
are preparing to become teachers.
Among them the cases of insanity are
ten times more numerous than they
ought to be. Professor thinner says:
IF telephone girls or salesgiris show
signs of mental disturbance, it is not to
be wondered at, for their occupations
are hardly those woman can call suit
able to her sex, but in teaching. which
is usually considered a suitable en-
ployment for women, when the results
are so disastrous there is every reason
for serious consideration"

Few mothers can nurse their children
to advantage after they are eight
months old. and it is much better for
both mother and child that the change
period is reached during hot wealth
er. Then it is best for the mother at
least to partly nurse the child little
longer. Maternal nursing, however,
should rarely be extended beyond the
twelfth month.

when they are grown, especially if they
are boys. The husband does not under
stand the wife, the wife the husband
The mistress and maid are sealed
books to each other, and the teacher
does not understand the individual
needs of her pupils. Sympathy is
quality too subtle to be inherited, to
judge by the women of fine sympathies
with daughters dowerless of that
charm one sees so often. Mothers
could do much for their children from
the suggestion to the opening mind of
the child constantly of the better side
of human nature, of the ultimate pur-
pose of good behind weak Ineffective

sorrow hand in hand with love.

IGNORANCE OF SOME.

Mendon mich. Leader: How lit
tie many people know abouut news
paper making is evidenced by the fol-
lowing Not long since a person
asked US if we could use a certain cut
in our paper and when informed that
we could if we had the cut, actually
fished from his pocket a picture cut
out of newspaper, remarklng that
there was the cut and we could use it
if we would like to. Then there are
those who rush into the Office just on
the eve of going TO press, with three
or four pages of copy, expecting to
find the space waiting for it, and that
it can be put into type in th rec or four
minutes. Suppose you stop into the
office some day and watch the COM
positor as he. or she, picks away at
single letter, punctuatio n mark,
space. etc., one at a time, stands it up
in the stick, spaces out each line to
an exact length, and the lesson you
will learn will be a good one for
you, and save the printer much scold-
ing. And still this is only small
part of the work.

There seems to be less politics in
Hattiesburg and Perry county than
in any other part of the state. The
people here do not have time to dis
cuss this Or that candidate or this OF
that issue, but they are ready to have
something to say about the output OF
lumber or turpentine and other indus
tries of the kind in this section.
The negro question is never discussed
except when one does some kind of a
criminal act, and then it is only to
say, as his body is put under the
earth, that he ran up against hard
proposition. Every man has his pre-
ference for governor perhaps, and may
so express himself in few words,
but one seldom hears the matter dis
cussed ON the streets only in pass
ing way.

A negro was lynched in the repub l.
can state of Delaware the other day
and it is stated that it was attended
by five thousand people who through
a morbid curiosity desired to see the
fun. This crowd was composed of all
classes and professions, from the min
lister of the gospel down to the safe.
blower, and all enjoyed it alike. 1t
is noticed that when it comes to
lyncihng u negro for some heinous
crime there is no distinction between
the Forth and south, but the act is
done with neatness and dispatch and
&C, ording to the rules of lynch law.
In the north as in the south the lynch
ing is done without any effort to hide
the identity of the lynchers and in
broad open daylight or at any hour
whenever the criminal is caught. In
the north as in the south the criminal
is sometimes burned to the stake, as
was this case and one that occurred
in Illinois a week or two ago. And
in the north as in the south nothing
is ever done with the lynchers, and
the work will go on as it has been for
number of years until there is not
negro left to be lynched, for there
is no probability of a cessation of
such crimes as long as there is negro
left. And what is said here about
the negro will apply to the white man
who commits such crimes.

Of course the Vardaman supporters
deny that their candidate has lost a
vote, but on the other hand has been
steadily gaining all the time. This
may be the case, but it is hemmed
in with serious doubts. We give
Major Vardaman the credit of being
strong in some pratt of the state yet
but the fact is too plain that he has
not gained strength as rapidly as
Critz even if he has gained any at all
within the past mouth or two. Those
who profess to konw and have been
close observers of the political move
ments in the state do not seem to
think that Mr.. Vardaman has gained
any strength at all, but on the other
hand he has lost The business
men, especially the farmers, seem to
think that Mr. Vardaman has been
a draw back to the business interest
of the state. They say that he has
in measure demoralized labor; that
the negro, believing that the white
people of the state are arranging TO
drop him out of the schools, will
finally drop out altogether, and he
does not care whether he works or not.
1t is stated that during the present
year it has been the hardest the far
mer ever experienced in getting labor,
and that much of this is attributed
to the policy advocated by Mr.. Var
daman. The Progtress, how aver,
thinks there is no good reason for such
great alarm. 1t may be that Mr..
Varadman has done harm along this
line, but not so much as has been
claimed by some.

stated that this was the fourth man

and the courts cannot find the time
TO acquit the murderers as fast as they
commit the crimes. When the monkey

A prominent druggist of Meridian

A prominent druggist of Meridian
has called our attention to the fact
that short editorial which appeared
in the Progress several weeks ago to
the effect that great deal of cocaine
was sold to negroes and white boys
and being used by them was calculated
to be misunderstood. He says that
no reputable druggist would sell CO.
caine except to physicians and dentists
or to persons having prescription
from reputable physician. While
this is the law nevereless it is sold
indiscriminately By some druggists to
any one who produces the price, so it
is reported in many section of the
state, and, as the Progress stated, II
should be stopped, for the use of CO.
caine is as bad as the use of blind
tiger whiskey, and that is putting 1t
down pretty bad.
