FOR GREATER MISSISSIPPI
Devoted to the Industrial. Commercial and Asncul.
tural Development Of the Wonderful Resources Of
the State Items Of Interest from all Quarters.
BY q. Z. BLAKESLEE. Jackson, Mss.

The growth and general prosperity
Of the Southern Truck Growers
League is a source Of great satisfac-
ton to thousands of people who are
benefited by the splendid work ac-
complished. J. M. Lindsey, a large
grower was in at the beginning and
has been instrumental in the spread
of its influence. It is claimed to be
the largest association of It's kind in
the United States and is still growing.
Lands in the section under its infu-
ence have appreciated in value faster
than anywhere in the state and the in
crease has only just begun. Its mem
bers are prosperous and happy, have
good homes, good stock, good vehicles
and the best of everything that makes
life worth living. The example set is
well worthy of emulation by other
sections of the country. This is the
day of combinations and there is ev-
cry reason why the farmers should or
ganize for mutual protection instead
of always being the victims of organi-
cation on the part Of others. Think of
this.

An Italian Audience,

this extract from Lady Morgan's book
because of its amusing picture of the
free and easiness of Italian actors and
audiences: The most exquisite part of
the theater was the audience. They

braves and bravissimos with 'Srambel-

"Meantime the most amiable famil-
iarity subsisted between that part of
the audience nearest the stage and the
performers. The prompter, with his
head propped over the stage lights
talked to the girls in the pit; the VIC
loncello flirted With handsome tras.
teverina in the boxes, and the lady in
the stage box blew out the lamplight

light it, to the infinite amusement of
the audience. who loudly applauded

That Court House proposit,on.

We as American citizens feel a
just pride in our public institutions
and buildings and whatever tends
to advancement and Improvement.
The American by his very nature
is liberal and free with what means
Providence has blessed him. He
considers it a privilege to be
partner in any enterprise having
for it's purpose the welfare of the
public. But experience has taught
him to be cautions and to investi-
gate for himself the wisdom and
the necessity of certain measures
recommended to him as wise and
expedient We note that our honor
able board of supervisors has
issued a call for $65.OOO in bonds
for new Court House to be voted
on June IL. This question has no
doubt been we'll canvassed among
few interested parties and pre-.
sented in good faith for the con.
sideration of the tax payer and vo-
ter. But from the standpoint of
the tax payer matters look different
many times than when viewed by
those handling public funds, The
expenditure of public money is an
easy problem, the deep interest of
the immediate residents when such
Improvement s contemplated is OBJ.
vious but many questions arise
in the mind of "honest gentlemen
from Missouri" when he is asked to
contribute his share of $4,000 tor
the erection of a new Court House.
First of course does the public well
fare demand it? Shall we in the
outlying districts put up tor the
establishment and identifying of
the county seat, when the present
Court House is all sufficient?
Where am l to be benefited by such
expenditure? Will my property
enhance in value as result? Will
the pleasure l get from walking
through the elegant corridors to
pay my ever increasing taxes to the
county treasurer be my portion:
Verify shall I vote for proposition
that leaves me holding the sack"
while property owners in and
about our county seat town bag the
game? Are the vaults which
have so well answered the
purpose for years suddenly come
to decay and become wholly made
quate for furthur use? If so when
did it all happen? What assurance
have we that $4,000 will be the
l1mit-that the history of this
scheme will rot prove to be a repeti.

sister counties! An honest doubter
must be heard and we cannot but

rhe rirst Railw.x Gauge,

An interesting story was told by one
Of George Stephenson's biographers re-
lating how the great engineer came to
adopt the four foot eight and half
inch gauge for his railways. Some
time previous to the building Of his
Newcastle and Carlisle railway Ste
phenson had an opportunity of inspect
ing some portion of an old Roman wall,
through which the chariots used to
be driven. Deep ruts made by the
chariot wheels We're still visible, and
on measuring these he found their
distance apart to be as near as possible
four feet eight and half inches. Ste
phenson thereupon came to the conclu-
sion that if world power like the
Romans had made such use of the
measure for it's chariots he could not
be wrong in adopting those measure
ments as rule for his railway.

new PEACE PLAN.
Has Developed in Connection With the
Chicago Strike.

Chicago, June S.-Negotiations
along new lines for a settlement of the
transfers strike were under way to-
day. A committee of FIVE appointed
by the teamsters' joint council with
full power to effect a peace compact
with the department stores awaited
the appointment of a similar commit
tee to act for the merchants. Edward
HIIiman, a State street merchant I'M
dertook to secure appointment of the
employers committee. The repre-
sentatives at the teamsters were Ed
ward Mullen. business agent of the
lumber drivers; John Snyth, president
of the coal teamsters; Peter Reilly Of
the department store delivery drivers;
jeremiah Mccarthy, business agent Of
the truck drivers, and L. Macarthur Of
the railway express drivers
The teamsters committee was ap-
pointed after the proposition had been
fully considered by the joint council.
The committee planned to ignore the
express companies, if the Employers
association will agree to entertain such
an agreeme nt. The committees were
to get together this afternoon if pos
sible. President Shea of the Team
sters' union denied any knowledge OF
the new plan of settlement.
Transfers of the Parmelee Transfer
company, who had threatened to
strike because they had been refused
an increased scale of wages, have de-
cided not to strike. Out of 400 drivers
fewer than fifty were in favor of a
strike.

Cause of Failure.
1.-THE lack of a high purpose has been
the cause of the failure of many men
who have filled large places in the pub
lie eye, but whose work has not pro-
duced permanent results. Good abili-
ties amount to little If set to petty pur-
poses Commonplace qualities rise to
greatness when in1pelied by high ideals
A vagabond intent, nomadic ambition,
gives no promise OF achievement The
Undetermined man is unstable in all
his ways. He is ike ship without a
rudder, or like a ship, which because
it has no destined harbor, is but a waif
on a tossing sea. To him that knoweth
not the port TO which he is bound no
wind can be favorable.
"Afm without power presents an even
more pathetic spectacle of helplessness.
have known poor poets who might
have been good blackSmithS and un-
successful preachers who might have
been successful farmers. There are too
many reformers who propose to save
the world, but have not force enough
in them to reform themselves. What
are we to do about 1t? One of two
things: either you are going to let down
your aim until it becomes equal to your
power or YOU are going to raise your
power till it is equal to your aim. The
first is the common way. It is so easy
to yield to the current and drift. It is
so easy to let I dare not wait upon I
would but if you are wise you will
choose the other way and live in the
spirit Of the motto Of this class-eWe
can and we will The only satisfactory
thing to do is to endeavor to lift your
capacity nearer TO the level of your
hopes and dare to pursue the ideals
that have journeyed before you. Do not
seek for tasks equal to your powers but
for powers that viii make you equal to
your tasks.
