HOME ENTERPRISES NE -DED.

We need furniture factory and
other wood working enterprises. Al
the market price of furniture ant
other wood products there is money
to be made out of such investments.
Why do men Of capital stand back
and hesitate and refuse to put in q
few hundred or Thousand dollars into
such enterrises.
To the city such enterprises mean
more people, to the merchants mo re
trade and to the investors money, or
at least the satisfaction of having
done their duty in uplifting the city.
If these citizens of means do not in
vest their capital it can hardly be ex-
pected that foreign investors will
readily seek this location for their
! capital if our own capitalists fear to
risk any of their surplus, nor can it
be expected that citizens Of
smaller means will invest their little
savings when their neighbors of large
capital will not show proper faith in
their city. Point out to us any en-
terprise that has started here within
the last few years that is not now
paying it's stockholders, if not a
handsome dividend, at least a paying
dividend?
Oh, ye of little faith, who fear to
risk thy shekels! You have made
them through and by your fellow
citizens, and it is now your beholden
duty to invest this money you have
made for their benefit as we'll as your
own. 1t is your duty to make the
city of Greenville prosperous manu-
featuring center. Will you dc it?
AS newspaper it is our duty to
suggest and to point out the needs of
the city. AS men of capital it is your
duty to take hold of, organize and
put into operation manufacturing
concerns. We have performed our
part of the task, now will you per-
'orm your part?

VARDANAN "STILL LOSING
GROUND"

A letter of June 22nd to the editor
Of The Herald from Meridian friend
contains the following gratifying
statement relative to the Lauderdale
vote and Vardaman: "When l saw
you lately / told you the race here
seemed a tree-cornered one Further
advices lead me to believe Vardaman
will have clear majority over all in
Lauderdale. Have just conversed
with a candidate who knows more
country people than any other. man
in the county. He has been among
the county people for three weeks
and says Vardaman' vote will be a
surprise even to his friends. l was
in Copiah county last week. Varda-
nan is very strong at Crystal Springs
and his friends there are confident
of the county. A strong opponent
of his told me at Hazlehurst he feared
Vardaman would carry the county"
--Vicksburg Herald.
The above is not republished mere
ly because the Herald is a Vardaman
supporter, or, because The Times
fayors his candidacy, but because of
the real worth, reliability and solid
fact of the statement. The Herald
never publishes anything editorially
but that which is authentic and to
be relied upon. And then, besides,
man like Vardaman cannot help win
ming in his candidacy when the vote
of the humblest citizen is equal to |
the vote of the widest politician and
political scoundrel.
A short while ago hair Drained
editor of a two by twice sheet faceti-
ously remarked that Vardaman could
not possibly win because among other
papers the Herald supported his can
1idacy, but this was illpunned for
The Herald is one of the strongest pa
pers in the Delta and it's power and
influence far reaching.

IAN FiSATIATE NAV. I"

An article has been going the
rounds of the Longino section of the
press for the past few weeks calling
attention to the fact that Senator
Money has served the State for
twenty-five years in congress, draw
ing his salary all the time, and
should therefore be willing to give
place to another man. The same ar
ticle charges Senator Money with be-
ing the father-in-law of Congress

Sisson. candidate for district attor-
ney, and also a relative of Maj. Var
daman, candidate for governor From
these facts is deduced the danger of a
fearful oligharchy with the purpose
Of replacing Money ultimately in the
senate with Vardaman, Vardamna in
the governurship with Hill, Hill in

The citizens honored Capt Gildart
last Wednesday by electing him to
the circuit clerks Office for life. By
this we do not mean that he will
only live four years longer, but that
at the end of that time, should he
again want the office he can get tho
peoples unanimous endorsement with
out an election. No county has a
more competent officer filling this po-
sitlon, or finer gentleman, and he
can get our vote for any office he
wants.

DR.. J. T. Atterbury, president of
the levee board, the right man in the
right place, favors the removal of the
city's dumping ground FROM the front
OF the city and turning that place into
city park. We hope to elect mayor
and city council next December with
the same idea. There is nothing more
beautiful to city than park, for it
furnishes place for recreation where
people who are not financially able
to take to the hills, the mountains
and the beaches, can spend the sum-
mer pleasantly with their families at
home.

Without discourtesy to the other
papers who also worked hard for paved

advocated paved streets, and now since
the good people have voted its bonds.
1t expects to stand by them and see
that only a pavement that is lasting
and worth the cost is put down. ANY
thing else we will oppose, for we feel
that we have been instrumental in
securing many votes for the measure
and gave them our word that the
money will not be wasted, thereby in
creasing their taxes for no good either
to the city or property owner.

The ZOdiacal Light.

The name of ''zodiacal light" has
been given to singular appearance
frequently witnessed soon after sunset
or just before sunrise. 1t may be seen
at all seasons Of the year in low Iati-
tudes and is obviously due to illumi-
mated matter surrounding the sun in u
very fiat or lenticular form, nearly CO.
incidinS with the plane of the ecliptic,
or, rather, with the suns equator. The
attention Of astronomers was first di-
rected to it in the year 1858 by Cassini
and was long regarded as being the
suns atmosphere. This idea, it is now
thought, is incorrect, it being generally
believed at the present time to consist
OF an immense assemblage Of rocks,
sand cosmical dust, fragments of met.
al, ETC., such as the earth is continual
~ encountering in the form of aerolites
or meteorites. 1t may not be out of
place to mention in this connection that
the rings of Saturn are believed to be
composed Of similar materials.

Fowls For beauty.

The most beautiful domestic bird OF
the poultry yard is the peafowl. which
is not commonly found on the farm.
Peafowls are very hardy and long lived,
although the young are as tender and
delicate as turkeys. They have loud,
shrill call and are useful as a protec-
ton against hawks. burglars and pouI-
try thieves. for they make great noise
when disturbed at night. They have
great capacity to shift for themselves
and are extensive foragers, roaming
over considerable territory in search OF
food. In fact. their roaming propensity
Is the one great drawback to keeping
them. as they are worse than turkeys
in this respect. They do not care for
shelter except in the seyerest weather.
