J. W. Langley of Jackson gave an
exemplifcation of intensive farming
and the splendid results at the Carni-
val. In very small space he exhib-
tied variety of articles from his farm
that made most creditable showing.
There were new crop Irish potatoes
that were hard to beat on any part of
the ground. Turnips of immense size
and uniformity of shape Rutabeggas,
new crop cabbages, sweet potatoes and
other vegetables. His corn was large
and perfectly formed. Pop corn of
several different varieties and sugar
corn for table use were specialties.
Mr. Langley is a successful farmer and
his exhibit marked him as such.

1t seems that along with the pros
porous times which have come to our
State, and from all indications they
have come to stay, there has also come
an army of grafters, humbugs and
confidence men. The operations of
this gentry is not all confined to the
cities and towns. Numbers of them
are working among the farmers who
are well fixed financially. 1t might be
well for our people to continue as
they have in the past, bite at nothing
until its merit and good faith has been
proven. Jones county has experienced
loss from the work of a man who
pretended to represent one of the big
Northern concerns. Goods were
offered at ridiculously low
price and a portion of the
goods never came and the man had
gone. Chimerical gold, silver oil,
townsite and other bonds are being
offered and there are suckers to take
them in and are in turn taken in. 1t is
still the best plan to buy your goods
from Mississippi merchants and in
vest your surplus cash in Mississippi
investments. Fight shy of the man who
offers so much for so little money for
ninety times out of a hundred all you
get is dearly bought experience.

The good old county of Wilkin.
son, lying in the extreme South West
ern corner of the State, was well rep
Irepsented at the Corn and Cotton Car
!nival and its progressive citizenship
manifested their energy and enterprise
in a manner highly creditable. True,
the exhibit was not so large and COM
prehensive az some, still the quality OF
products shown were we'll up with any
thing from any section of the State,
Centerville was the place from which
the greater part of it emanated, and
the room set apart for its use was well
displayed and made attractive in ev-
cry way. The most attractive feature
of this exhibit was the products OF
the Red Snapper Sauce Co., which is
domiciled at CentrevilIe and is red
hot proposition in more ways than one.
Every conceivable kind of relish, con-
diment, sauce, ETC., was shown in the
greatest profusion. The quality of the
goods shown was pronounced equal to
anything on the market and the grand
prize was accorded them. 1t was
creditable indeed to the live gentle
men who constitute the company, and
their efforts will result in substantial
benefit to all concerned. In the large
list of fresh vegetables shown, the
new crop of Irish potatoes were -the
best at the Carnival and the grand
prize was awarded this exhibit also.
They were second crop and as smooth
and perfect as ever seen in the south.
Some exceptionally fine hay was in
this room and many were the compli-
mentary expressions heard concern
ing it. 1t was revelation to many
that such quality could be produced
in the state. New beets of large size
and fine texture were also shown, prov
ing the claim that in that section it
was possible to have vegetables the
whole year round. Canned goods of
varied kinds were shown and were
richly deserving of complimentary
mention. Wilkinson county is well
adapted to the raising of fruits and
vegetables, and the canning factory is
a protection against loss from any
cause. Sugar cane of splendid pro-
portion composed part of the exhibit
and also rice, oats and other farm
produce. 1t was magnificent demon
stration of what can be accomplished
in our favored land when the effort is
made. Pity It's that some of the teem-
ing thousands of people in the crowd
ed East could not have seen this,
good living and comfortable homes In
the South in exchange for small
amount of labor

1t is generally believed the friends
of the bill will do everything possible
to get it out Of committee at once, with
the view Of having it assigned to a
place on the calendar, though it is not
thought that they have any idea that
definite action will be taken before ex-
piration Of the session. It is possible
that subcommittee may be appointed
by the full committee to consider the
evidence and more thoroughly inves
tigate the matter during the recess,
since the bill will, in all probability
be one Of the first measures to be re-
introduced at the next session in the
event of its failure to pass at this ses-
sion.

There is a suspicion in diplomatic
circles that the United States will
soon acquire the Galapagos Islands.
It is believed that underlying the dis
cyssion in Ecuador of the question of
disposing Of the islands there is a
tentative understanding with the
United States. The islands have ne
great value on account of their natu-
raj resources, and have never been
colonized by the Ecuadorians.

People Unwilling to Wait.

In his letter upon the dlspensa-
~ situation Senator Tillmen ad-
vises the people, before voting GU
the dispensaries, to wait and see
whether or not the legislature, at
its next session, will purge the
corruption out Of the dispensary
system and put safeguards around
it for the future"
We believe that the people are
unwilling to wait, for the follow
ing reasons:
/. They have Tut little hope
that the next legislature will af-
ford any relief. The last legiala-
ture, in which the pro-dispensary
influence was dominant, refused
to revise or amend the law; that.
too, in the face Of the open charges
Of corruption, which charges were
as true then as now.
Q. The perso1nel OF the next
legislature will be the same as
the last; the same diepensafy
leaders in the Senate and
House; the same members of these
bodies to vote as voted last year;
the same diapensary employees
to distribute free liquor among the
lawmakers; the same wholesale
liquor dealers and diatiller to fur
nish this free liquor. Why ex-
pect any relief from such a source :?
3. The people are unwilling to
wait another year because they
desire the matter settled while the
"dispensary" or 'no dispensary"
question is divested of politics.
During an of-year, politically
speaking, the voters car quietly
without any passion or prejudice
express their wishes. Itis now
moral question and they desire
that it b. settled as such. II its.
settlement be postponed till an
other year, when men are scram-
bling for office, it will be made a
political issue and will not then
be considered dispassionately. In
other words, we believe the people
of this county want the liquor
question voted upon apart from
men and politics.

Ten Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save
to exceed ten per cent of his earn
iugs. He must spend nine dollars
in living expenses for every dol
lar saved. That being the case he
cannot be too careful about un-
necessary expenses. Very often q
few cents properly invested, like
buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later
on. II is the same in buying
