To share, at least in part, the great
wave of prosperity which now per
meates all other business through
out this great country.
Mr.. Clarke, pausing for a mo-
ment, declared that he was much
impressed on hearing an old farmer
say that his fellow laborers were
destroyed for the lack of knowl-
edge.
This expressed our condition in n
nutshell, said he. The manufac-
turer spent thousands of dollars to
find market for his goods, the
merchant To enlarge his trade, but
the farmer not cent To open up
new fields for the consumption
of his cotton. In passing through
the different grocery stores in this
beautiful city he found stacks of
flour in barrels and few in cotton
sacks, and yet statistics showed that
in every city of $500 population if
the flour consumed was sold in
sacks it would make an annual saw
ing Of s4, 800 to the people. In
Texas and north of Mason and Dix
ie line flour was sold exclusively in
sacks. The farmer should refuse to
buy -four except in sacks and save
the difference in price and increase
the consumption of cotton. The
farmers in many instances were too
green to burn even in hades. They
should be educated To the highest
standard, especially in agriculture,
so as they might adopt and put in
telligently in practical use deversi-
fled farming. that they might reap
the fruits of intelligent agriculture
and cause mother earth to respond
in her fullest capacity.
That he was in favor Of good
roads; that some people complained
about high taxes; that he now paid
46 1-2 mills and was trying to in
crease this amount; that he never
complained of high taxes where the
public was benefited thereby, and
when the people become educated in
scientific agriculture they would di-
vcrsify their crops, acquaint them
selves with the worlds need of what
they raised and adjust its produc-
ton accordingly and become inde-
pendent and self sustaining. That
The Aberdeen weekly. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1878-1933, 1905-12-22
he favored taxation for good roads,

he favored taxation for good roads,
schools and colleges; that he favor
ed the establishment of an agricul-
tural department by the legislature
in our State. We lived in a State
where farming was the principal
vocation and deserved every encour-
ment and aid to render it success
full. That his labor in the cause
was without money and without
price and if he could live to see the
success which he anticipated for this
great association his labors would
not have been in vain and he would
feel fully compensated.
After Mr.. Clarke closed, Mr..
Will III. Woods entertained the au-
dience by showing that a 500 pound
bale of cotton which at IL cts would
bring $50 90, manufactured in silk
would be worth 1892 900. 90 and
made into pocket handkerchiefs
would be worth 81, 10000. That
of all plant productions cotton was
the only one which furnished its
own fertilizer. 1t was a wonderful
plant, and, strange to say, our peo-
pie 60 on from year to year sowing
and reaping without even under
standing the possibilities of this
wonderful production which God
has given a monopoly to our people.
Immediately on the close of Mr..
Woods speech an organization was
effected for the Fourth District of
this county by the election of H. S.
Gilleylen, President, Jno. F. Plant,
Weep resident, and Roy Watkins,
Secretary and Treasurer, with all
or nearly all of those present en-
rolling their names as members.
A county association will soon be
effected and old Monroe will be
found in line with the great asso-
citation to aid in making the farmers
more independent, more prosper
Gus and more happier.

A bill is proposed to be introduced
i'm the next Legislature that smacks
most extraordinarily of extrava-
ganance and veritable nonsense.
This bill proposes a force of de-
tsctives to be paid jointly by the
State and the counties in which
they may be engaged. Their work
will be to ferret out and collect evi-
dence against Illicit venders of al
coholic liquors. For this service
each is to receive the modest sum
of ten dollars per day. What has
become of the State, county and
municipal officials, whose duty it
now is To enforce the laws and bring
violators to punishment? Are they
so lax inefficient or negligent that
substitutes must he provided to per-
form their duties? If so, the con-
dition of things is indeed alarming
and the people need to wake up and
provide only better men in their
places.

Chancellor X. B. Mayes, of the
Kinds county court, has rendered
an opinion in the injunction suit of
Governor Nardaman restraining the
Board of Control from carrying out
contract with Senator III. J. Nc
Laurin, in which Mr.. McLaurin
was to pay the State S25 10000 per
year in consideration of the States
cultivating his Sandy Bayou plant
alton with convict labor The court
held that the Board had transcend
ed its authority, as the contract was
clearly in violation of the constitu-
ton, which declares that no person
shall have a direct interest in the
labor of convicts.
The people of the State have
grounds to congratulate themselves
that there is member of the Board
of Control who will restrain that
body from peddling out the peni-
tertiary labor to Tom, Dick and
Harry in bundles and on terms to
suit the purchaser, and in defiance
of constitutional law No depart
ment of government or control
should be so vested with authority
that their will constitutes the law
governing their actions, and the
opinion of Chancellor Mayes, just
rendered in this important suit, in
dicates that the Board of Control is
just as subject to injunction as the
humblest official in the land. This
is as it should be, and it is gratify-
ing to know that the Governor will
resort to that measure when it be-
comes necessary. Of course the
matter is not entirely settled, as it
has been appealed to the supreme
court, but it is thought by most ju-
rists that this court will confirm the
decision Of Chancellor Mayes.
