4 Fine Cotton Patch Near BrOokhaven.

Speaking about fine cotton
patches, il would be hard to find a
finer one than Farmer N. r..
Douglass has 90 Dr. Geo. A..
Loves place one mile north of
Brookhaven. Dir. Love has about
217 acres of land in d body, just
north Of the Brookhaven corpora
tion limits. It is beautifully
situated for either building or
farming purposes, being just roll
ing enough to drain we'll. The
survey Of the Mississippi Central
Railroad on its westward course
toward the Great Father Of Wa
ters, runs centrally through four
forties, having passed through T.
~. Decells splendid farm just
eastward.
Mr.. Douglass, who for four years
has been a tenant on DR.. Loves
farm, has about 81 acres of this
land in cotton, and though the
season has been so unusually wet,
it is clean of grass and weeds, a
perfect stand, we'll fruited, and
really beautiful to look upon.
With no disaster from now Till
November, much of it will yield a
bale per acre. When DR.. Love
purchased it several years ago, it
was an old place and the cleared
land very poor. but it has been
built up year after year with barn
yard manure, very little CONNER
cial fertilizer being used, until
now it is d fine illustration of what.
may be accomplished in the way
of increasing the productiveness
of our ordinary pine lands.
DR.. Love knew Mr.. Douglass
had something extra fine in the
way of a crop and kindly invited
the editor of The Leader to drive
out with him last Thursday even
ing to see it. Mr.. Douglass re-
ceiyed US very cordially, and the

mayor discharged him. He left.

The Governors Address Was Timely.

Hon. Geo. I. Stewart, prom
inent citizen of Madison county,
writing to the Editor of the Yazoo
Sentinel, says:
Twas well you published Gov.
Vardamans's signed interview,
and also wrote an editorial on it.
Some weeks ago the Governor
issued an address to the officials
on the necessity. Of vigilance in
enforcing the laws. Verify, it
would seem that when an official
takes an oath to have the laws en-
forced, that ought to end the mat
ter, but unhappily, it does not.
IT'S lamentable that the country
Is swallowed up in commercialism,
that violations of the law of the
most serious nature are winked at
by many of the officials. Things
have come to a pretty pass, in
deed, when the Governor says a
neglect Of official duty on the part
of officials of the law is largely
the cause of assaults on women.
Tis said that a few counties are
waking up to the importance Of
letting no guilty man escape, and
have asked Gov. VaFdaman to
send bis detective (Mr. Hoyt) to
aid them ii running down blind
tigers and ether law breakers.
If q few of these officials who are
so derelict in their duty were pun
ished, it might have a very salute
ry effect. lis very questionable
whether the tendency for evil will
be checked until purified by .
