Newspaper Rulings.
SOME INTERESTING DECISIONS AY UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT AS TO THE
LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

1. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue t, send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the p%ostofice to
which they are addressed, they m re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper Ter other
periodically discontinued.
3 If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
postofice, or removing and having
them uncalled for, is prima facie evil
dence of intentional fraud.
5. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
6 The latest postal laws arc such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under the law,
the man who allows his subscription to-
run along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
HIS a postal card sent notifying the
publisher of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft

Judge Byrd's Speech.
From the Neshoba Democrat.

From the Neshoba Democrat.
Judge Byrd's recent speech in
Congress on the cotton situation
continues to receive tho attention
OF our greatest national thinkers.
His mail contains numerous re-
quests for copies OF the speech,
together with congratulations
Judging from the press reports
throughout the nation, this
speech alone has given him a ma
tional reputation and easily
places him among our leading
representatives in Congress.
1t gives US pleasure to quote an
extract from a private letter just
received by Nj. Byrd from Hon.
Thomas Watson, late candidate
for President on the Peoples
Party ticket:
"When yon made your mag
niicent speech in Congress on
the cotton question, | read it
carefully in the Record, and I
was proud of the tact that one
man from the South had got hold
of the idea that what we need is
not SO much a smaller supply of
cotton, but a larger market, and
that the Internal tariff has de-
stroyed our market to a very
large extent. 1t may interest you
to know that / made the same
point in my little speech to the
Cotton Growers Convention in
New Orleans which you elabor-
ated and more forcibly presented
in the speech above referred to.
In fact, | had written to Con-
gresham Hardwick asking him
to make a speech on that very
line, and the moment | saw that
you had done this I called his at
tention to the fact that you had
taken up precisely the argument
that | wanted him to make. OF
course, this merely shows that
two earnest men, studying the
same great question, came to the
same conclusion without any con-
sultation with one another.
"I hope hereafter to hear from
you often, and shall watch the
growth of the reputation which
| am sure you are going to win,
and which you will SO richly de
serve"

The argument presented by
some that what the South needs
is a larger market for its cotton
crop, is, of course, true to tact;
but the truth of such argument
does not relieve the present strin
gency, caused by the slump in
prices of the past season, and to
be on the safe side a reduction in
acreage is necessary.

What an Oil Mill will Mean
to ScOOba.

From the start it is O business
proposition, and is always self
sustaining with proper manage
ment.
An oil mill erected here will
increase your concentration OF
cotton Is per cent, which means
$40, 900 to $4,000 more cash paid
out in your town during the six
months OF operation. Your pay
roll will run $4,000 for the sea
son, paid weekly.
It will furnish arc and incan
descent electric lights for your
streets and stores at small cost,
and supply the town with water
protection day and night all the
year round, reducing your insur
ance rates considerably, and this
also at a small cost per capita.
The labor and fuel will be sup
piled at home. You will have
your fertilizer and feed at your
doors the entire season.
1t will supply surplus power
needed tor other auxilliaries that
may be promoted later on, and
can be used for other purposes
during the dormant season.
But, more desirable than all
these, it starts, your town def
nitely towards enterprise, and
stimulates you to continued eft
forts along this line. Your bank
venture is a good illustration Of
what push and action produces.
That being now safely launched,
continue to advance, and attract
to your town and community
others who will settle here and.
improve your properties, and you
will soon become a factor in Sc
curing the recognition and atten-
ton that is being directed with
daily increase upon the South by
capital seeking land and CONNER
cial investments.
This enterprise calls for money
and prompt action.
There are untold arguments
why it wont pay, but they are
advanced by those who knows alb
solutely nothing OF the business
or its results; and such argu
ments never build anything. but
tend only to disturb and prevent
legitimate advancement.
Corporations will come here
and erect you a mill, if you put
up enough and giae them con
troll, so that when it begins to
earn money they can freeze you
and your community out.
But an enterprise OF this char
acter would not have the same
effect as If the town were inter.
ested and solid behind it, giving
their financial and moral sup
port. STEVENSON.

and seek, and many other games, some OF
which are similar to those played by white
children.
The fondest desire of the heart of the
indian parent is that the chi,d shall be brave
and self-reliant. The child Is never
whipped, for that tends to break his spirit
and make a coward of him. Nevertheless.
Indian children are respectful, obedient
and retiring. They keep their corner in
the home, and do not mingle in the CONVEX
sation of their elders.
The Indian father tells his sons stories
OF prowess, as they gather around the
open fire in the middle of the lodge or be-
fore the door of the dwelling, for the pur-
pose of encouraging them to bravery ard
reliance. The mother schools them to en-
durance and patience under suffering. No
pains is spared to inculcate in them those
qualities so admired by the redmen.
The education of the child Is brought
about principally by observation and by
listening to the conversation of the elders.
He learns the history and traditions Of the
tribe al they are related about the hearth
stone of the tepee in the evening. There,
too, he hears stories of the chase, OF war,
of prowess, and he is quick to catch the
subtle points of the tale and to learn the
secrets Of stalking the game or ambushing
the enemy The daughter learns her
mothers arts as does the white girl, by
practical attempts under the mother 8
supervision. The arts and occupations Of
both sexes are few, and the process of ac-
quiring an education is not long diff
cult one.
