Letter 10 Mr.. c. P. McCarty.
Monroe City, Mo

Dear Sir: You understand
grinding wheat, buckwheat, rye,
oats and corn. We understand
grinding paint thngs. The two
sorts Of grinding are not much
alike. Very likrly oats and
wheat behave very differently
in the mill. AMI Won manage
them diffarent,V-.-W know very
little about YOUR work; don't
need to; we'd rIther depend on
you.
But we paint your house and
mill, and out buildings; perhaps
you'd be glad to know about
grinding paint; for some people
mix their paint with a stick in
a tub.
We use lead and zinc. Aud
our zinc is as tough as your oats.
Tub mixers imagine they mix it.
They don't; they can't. Takes
grinding to mix lead and zinc.
They are both white. Tub
mixers don't know it; but tub.
mixed lead and zinc is a streak
of one alongside of a streak of
the other.
We grind us you grind: and
our paint is lead and zinc ground
together, mixed intimately: it is
neither lead nor zinc, but lead
and zinc: the lead is lost and
the zinc is lost: each lost in the
other: both lost in the mixture.
Lead cbalks and zinc peeis:
lead and zinc ground together
hang on and protect each other.
We take care OF your mill out.

The Fall Season.

With the advent of September
the monotony of the long hot
months is suddenly broken by a
spirited change to active business
which makes it's appearance all
over the south at this season of
the year. For this immediate Sec
ton and Lee county and Tupelo
especially the season is hailed
with a great deal of satisfaction
At no previous time has there ever
been a greater promise of business.
While it will undoubtedly be late
by few weeks we can confidently
await it's arrival with an assurance
that our expectations are not build
ed upon false hopes. The pros
poets for crops are bright and
prices rule high. The character
of our lands guarantee crop of
fine magnitude whenever the sea-
sons are at all favorable, and now
we stand upon the Threshold of
our greatest expectations. That
the business of this county and of
Tupelo will be of greater volume
than any year of our history no
one doubts for a minute The
clang of the hammer and the hum
of the saw testify that the merchant
is getting ready as rapidly as posi-
BILE for the fall trade and every
available house in the city has been
brought into requisition. With
such conditions we have much for
which we can congratulate our
selves.

This is the greatest and mos
beneficial political victory won III
Mississippi since the Radicals
were driven from power about a
quarter of century ago. The Will
son-Longino-Critz Roosevelt com
bination, which has been SO signal
~ defeated, is more harmful
political force than were the Radi-
Gals under Ames. Ames was a
brave soldier and an honorable
gentleman, and many excuses are
to be made for him because of the
extraordinary and abnormal politi-
cal conditions which prevailed
soon after and as consequence
of the great civil war. Ames was
not boodler; he did not attempt
to prostitute the Judiciary of the
State, and he was not traitor to
his party.
Senator Moneys victory over
the detestable combination, in the
first primary, was most important
and means great deal for the
State. But the victory of Major
Vardaman is even more impor-
tant, because every county in the
State, aud every citizen, will feel
the good effects of the change from
Wilson Longino to Vardaman, as
thew have felt the bad and blight
Jug effects Of the rule of that pair
of unworthies. Vardaman's vic

Maj Vardaman is a better friend

the negro that he is a negro is a
better friend to him than the
man who leads him to believe he
may become something else. I'm

predict that there will be fewer

Teddy's Cruelty to Children.

The action of Teddy Roosevelt
in breaking up picnic for poor
children at the capitol grounds in
Washington because the negroes
were not allowed to attend is in per.
feet accord with the contemplate
littleness of the miserable misft
who occupies the presidential chair
by virtue of an accident.
The arrangement for the picnic
had been made by the Woman's
Rescue League, and the little ones
into whose lives but little of the
sunshine of life ever falls, were to
have a day of pleasure. These
children of the novels and waits
of the streets looked forward to
that day with their little hearts
leaping with joy. There was to
be one bright spot in the dreari-
ness and misery Of their little lives
-one oasis in the salt emptiness
of their existence. But they were
doomed to disappointment, and
their little hearts were made to
ache because of the cruelty of the
brutal president. Teddy learned
in some way that, though poor,
they were white children who
would not be associated with ne
groes and that negroes could not
attend the picnic, aud he ordered
that admittance to the white house
grounds be denied them. This was
an act of heartless cruelty that
would seem impossible in this en-.
lightened age, and IS enough to
bring blush to the cheek of every
American. Meridian Star.

There is another aspect OF the
case more interesting. The in
dorsement of Major Vardaman

case more interesting. The In
dorsement of Major Vardaman
along this line WAS radical de-
parture, but it was a firm and def
mite stand. This is the Missis
sippi way of doing things, and
this is the third time since the
war that she has taken a definite
and firm stand on a radical propo
sition. In two of these she was
successful in carrying out her ideas
in spite of the clamor and protest
that were raised up against her
from all parts of the country. In
this last experiment we must bide
our time because its outcome is at
best predetermined.
In 1875 Mississippi was the first
State under carpet-bag rule to'take
firm and positive stand for re
habitation of her government by
her home people. The attempt
was looked upon in many quarters
as sheer madness but, by the aid
of Governor Alcorn and number
of prominent citizens, a way was
found to drive oat the intruders,
and place the government in the
hands of the home people.
All was not peace among the
home people, because large ma
jority of them were negroes, and
it was necessary at times to re
sort to extreme measures for the
pursose of subdulng them and re-
straining their political aggressive
ness. firing of these turbulent
methods the people of Mississippi
took another firm stand and pro.
jected a State constitution which
practically eliminated the colore &
man from the political life of the
State. Again loud outcries were
made and protests uttered against
what was called such a high hand
ed proceeding; but the people Of
Mississippi ignored the critics anG
adopted their constitution without
submitting it to a popular vote
and their action was sustain &c
when a test was made before the
Supreme Court Of the United
States.
The action of the people of Mis-
sissippi in the conflict just ended
means more than mere division
of the school fund, which would
count for little if carried iLto eff
feet. 1t means that Mississippi
has taken another determined
stand for the placement of the
colored man as Il political factor.
Around this nucleus, thus formed
may yet cluster that growing de-
sire On the part of many to repair
the great wrong done and correct
the evil committed in elevating a
race just emerged from slavery to
the dizzy heights of full American
citizenship. Mississippi has struck
the first decisive blow at those
ugly children of hate and sectional
RANGER, those amendments to the
Federal constitution which degrade
American citizenship aud disgrace

are sure to follow in the FIXTURE,
but Mississippi will have the hon or
