One town in Mississippi last year
shipped out no car loads of poultry
and eggs valued at $1,S12,000. Then
you can find people who say there is
nothing to be made by engaging in so
small business. The state has a ca
pacity to furnish large part of the
country with these necessary products
and it has been repeatedly demon
strated that there is money in the
handling. 1t is strange that more of
our citizens, especially in the poorer
sections of the state, do not pay more
attention to this important industry.
Mr.. William B. Petit, an old Mis-
sissippi boy who is now with the Bu-
reau of Labor at Washington, has
written the Greater Mississippi Asso-
citation that he still has an interest
in his native state and pledges his
interest and support Of the movement
begun under such favorable circum-
stances. 1t is gratifying to know
that our people, even so far from
home, still have the good of Missis-
! sippi at heart and are willing to help
in any movement looking toward the
general good.

The wonderful increase of manu-
featuring in Mississippi as well as the
increased amount of land in cultiva-
ton has brought about a scarcity of
labor that is causing some trouble.
The negroes do not pay much atten-
tion to anything except farming and
railroading and there are not enough
If them for this duty. Skilled white
labor is especially in demand for the
manufacturers and will continue so
for some time. We need good white
citizens who will come here and make
their homes with us and help to make
The state better as we'll as more pop
llous.

It was decided that the customs
rates established by the Dingley tar
iff law will be imposed upon all goods
imported into the American zone on
the Isthmus of Panama except on
such goods as may be shipped from
there to the United States. The
American zone is regarded as United
States territory. The enforcement OF
the tariff law will be placed In the
hands of Governor Davis. He will
make such arrangement with the treas
ury department for the services OF
experts in customs matters as he may
deem necessary. 1t is expected that
little material from foreign countries
will be employed i'll the construction
of the canal or other purposes. Ev-

the importation of such necessary

steamer Fortuna, it lis now possible
to disclose the real facts. The Pro-

to Cork on the Fortuna, but there Is
no certainty that the little craft will
arrive here. 1t is more likely that
she may be slipped into the water be-
fore the Fortuna arrives at Cork and
be towed to such a port as may be
convenient for the negotiations for its
sale. The Japanese have not pur-
chased this boat, nor made arrange
ments to purchase her, but they have
taken steps to find out just what will
become of her. So has the Russian

BANKS AND CIRCULATION.

A peculiar statement was re-
Gently made by a correspondent in
one of the weekly papers Of this
State, that ''some farmers claim
that banks rather hurt the farmer
than help him, by withdrawing
money from circulation. But it
is not only some Of the farmers, "
but other persons who hold the
same idea. The explanation, how
ever, is simple. People who are
not familiar with the practical
operations of banks have the idea
that a bank is a vault in which
money is locked up for safe-keep-
ing, and that when a sum Of
money is deposited in bank, it is
put away in a strong box and kept
there until the depositor checks it
out. 1t is no wonder that people
who take that view should con-
tend that banks withdraw money
In point of fact, the reverse of
this proposition is true. A bank
is a medium of exchange, a clear
ing house, through which money
is collected in small sums and put
into active circulation. The way
to keep money out of circulation
is for the owner to hide it away
in his own house. Any sum of
money which is wrapped up in a
napkin and put in a hiding place
is taken out of circulation, and
so far as any good that it does
might as well be destroyed. If a

THE GAMBLING EVIL.

Cities and towns which really
wish to rid themselves Of the gam
bling evil are requested to turn
their gaze toward Memphis,
Tenn, where lately there have
been happenings decidedly dis
comforting to the get-rich-quick
fraternity, though cheering to
good citizens generally. 1t is the
common plant of municipalities
that the gamblers and politicians
are too closely connected to make
crusade against the former sue
cessful, which is but another way
of saying that nobody is willing
to take the initiative. 1t all thus
amounts to the fact that gamblers
flourish for the one reason that
citizens do not do their duty.
Memphis was in the same boat
as the rest of the cities of the Uni
ted States, but recently reached a
point where further fOrbearance
ceased to be a virtue. Then the
people arose and in mass meetings
demanded the resignation OF their
Mayor and other city officials be-
cause of laxness in enforcing laws
against gambling. They went fur
Their. Taking matters into their
own hands, they organized a Com
mittee of Safeyt, which raided ev-
cry gambling den in Memphis and
dumped all the paraphernalia OF
the gambling rooms into the Mis-
sissippi river. This may smack
somewhat of Western Vigilance
committee methods, but it did the
business and that, it seems, is all
that was wanted, for there is very
little gambling in Memphis now.
Now if the people of other cit
les are sincere, they have but to
follow the example set by this
Tennessee city. Regardless OF po-
litical considerations, the people
are really masters when they
wish to be. They need no sceptre
of authority nor badge of power.
They have but to combine to make
their will the law. Memphis
points a sure, easy way to mu-
nicipal decency.

PARKER'S ACCEPTANCE.

The Observation-Disclosures ac-
ceptance Of Judge Parker for the
nomination on the Democratic
ticket for President of the Uni
ted States, covers all the leading
questions in American politics,
not in the spirit and temper of
violent discussion or angry state
ment. but rather with the calm
deliberatiOn of a trained jurlst,
accustomed to hear all sides and
hold on to that which seems best.
1t is such a deliverance as might
be expected from a Marshall,
strengthened by the political poll
cies and principles we find in the
writings and acts of Jefferson.
1t is no exaggeration to say that it
will command the universal ap-
proval of the American people, for
it embodies the essence of Amer
icanism as it stands otu in all its
simplicity and purity in the his
tory and administration of the
government. The fundamental
principles and facts of American
government under the constitu-
ton are firmly set forth with I'M
finching ardor and evident pur-
pose to make them the rule of his
administration. 1t is a peace
maker, an inspiration to good
works and noble deeds.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE,

The assemblage in this city OF
the teachers of Tyler county in
their annual institute is an inter-
esting event. They are charged
with the performance of great
public duty, and the record made
by them during the four days they
have been in session has been an
eminently satisfactory and profit
able one. They are here for the
purpose of meeting and consulting
with each other and listening to
advice from some of the most ex-
perienced educators of the coun-
try. 1t would be hard to find a
more intelligent body. or one
whose deliberations are invested
with more possibilities for good.
This Nation is vastly indebted
TO it's teachers. But for them 1t
would not begin to occupy the
place it now does among the peo-
pie of this and other countries.
In the multitudes of cases the in
fuence of the teacher upon the
character of his or her pupils has
been greater than that OF the
minister or the parent. Hence,
it is vitality important that this
country should have the best
teachers that can be obtained, and
the people generally have been
endeavoring to bring about this
result. In many instances, how
ever, they do not properly appre-
ciate the value of good teachers,
and they have signifed this fact
in the manner in which they have
compensated them. We are still
unfortunately a long way off as a
people generally from properly
recognizing the value Of practical
teachers. When we awaken fully
to the situation there will be no
shortage of applicants for the pro-
fession, because the rewards offer
ed to those competent to pursue it
will be sufficient to secure the
very best material in abundance.

d. n
dozen farmers in any community,
each having hundred dollars,
keep their money at home, they
take twelve hundred dollars from
the circulation, and the volume of
circulating currency is reduced
to that extent. But if these far
mers will take their money to
bank and deposit it, it will not be
long before that sum will get into
active circulation, for it is the
business of the bank to lend
money-not to hoard it.
