One of Mississippi's newest enter
prises, The Mississippi Cracker Co., at
Hattiesburg, made splendid showing
at the Carnival with its product. The
crackers, cakes and jumbles shown
were as good as could be had any,
where and the company reports a
highly satisfactory business so far.
There is no reason why we should not
manufacture our own crackers and
goods of like nature right here at
home. Preference should be given
home enterprises and the writer hopes
to see this concern prosper and grow
as the years go by.

R. e. Stratton, of Rolling Fork, fur
nisbed some monster turnips for the
Carnival. Some of them weighed as
much as nine pounds. They were
smoothly formed and Of fine texture.
The Delta demonstrates the fact that
something can be grown there profta-
bly besides cotton and corn. 1t may
be that this section will, ere many
years roll by prove one of the best
trucking sections of the state.

1t will be of interest to the people
of Mississippi TO know something of
the moneys collected and turned into
the general fund from two depart
ments which were only recently es-
tablished. Reference is made to the
insurance department and the charter
fee department of the Secretary of
States Office. The insurance depart
ment has just closed the first year
since its Inauguration. At the begin
ming of the year, Mr.. w. @. Cole, who
had carried the department as auditor
it having been made an adjunct of
that Office in. 1900, and which Office he
held, was installed as Insurance Com
missioner having been elected by the
people. He promised to turn into the
treasury for the year 1904, over and
above all commissions the net sum of
100000 10 show how we'll he kept
this promise, the sum actually turned
in was $100,11105. Mr. Cole estimates
that for the present year he will turn
in the net sum of $135,000, and in
view of the correctness of his last
years estimate, we expect his figures
to come up to or GO over that mark.
Thisis splendid showing for newly
installed department and reflects great
credit upon the management of same.
Insurance rates are not one cent high
er and the taxpayers are just that
amount ahead. We have been paying
for the department all along and not
getting the benefit of it.

The enforcement of the law is the
greatest means of preventing infrac-
ton of law. A law not enforced is
far worse than if there was no law
bearing on the subject. The greatness
of Mississippi depends largely upon
the enforcement of our uaws. Let ev-
cry good citizen, and they are legion,
make it his business to see that the
laws are strictly enforced.

Prof. H. L. Whitfield, state supsrin-

Prof. H. L. Whitfield, state superin-
tendent of education, has issued
lengthy address urging that senti-
ment be created in favor of the estab-
lishment Of a state training school
for teachers. Supt. Whitfield sets
forth many strong reasons why the
legislature should provide for such
school, among other things pointing
out the fact that nine-tenths Of the
children of Mississippi receive their
education in common schools Of the
country districts, and that these
schools are often poorly equipped with
teachers.

In support of the writer's oft re-
peated contention that the day of
the large farm was passing and that
the small farm of 80 acres would in
short time be the rule, the following
from well-kncwn authority on the
subject is offered: "Some men go on
the theory that if farming is a paying
business and good thing, more of it
would pay better and be better thing.
If a man could do lot and do it as
well as he can do the right amount,
there would be no reason why this
theory wouldn't stand the hard
knocks of practice, but no man can
hire work done as we'll as he can do it
himself; that is, farm work. And here
Is where the overreaching farmer falls
down. Of all farms in the United
States, those paying best per acre, are
the 40 and SO acre farms. 1t is true
that there are some instances that al
most any one can cite where 200, 300
and 400 acre farms are paying we'll,
but we are speaking of farming as
whole. That is, of the average farm
in the United States. We. know of no
better advice right now than that of
far seeing farmer of so years ago who
said: 'The man who gets hold of only
what land he can farm and farm with
his own hands, is going to be the con-
tented and prosperous man of the fu-
ture; get this much and leave the rest
for the other fellow 1t is an oft re-
peated sentence, but real farming, real
producing in the west hasn't been
scratched yet. Men who are, year in
and year out, farming more than they
can farm well, are responsible for the
low general average Of all farm crops
per acre. Do only what you can do
well and leave the rest for the other
fellow, instead of hiring him to do it
for Won -

if on Philippine sugar and tobacco be-
fore the House Committee on Ways

the Insular Bureau Of the War Depart
ment, and Colonel Colon, Collector of

ing simply to have the price of sugar
in the archipelago fixed in New York,
and not subject to the dictates of Chi
nese merchants. 1t was not intended

would come to the United States, as a
market in the Orient could be found
for the product.

In 1900 the charter laws Of the state
were changed SO that nominal fee
was charged for corporations desir-
ing to do business under them and
from this source Mr.. j. W. Power
turned into the treasury last year the
handsome sum Of $21 ,463. This was
something like an increase Of $4,000
over the previous year. While the cor
poration business for 1904 was much
greater from the standpoint of num-
bers. the amounts involved were not
nearly so large. Since this department
was added to the Office of Secretary OF
State in 1900, over $4,000 has been
turned into the treasury. Mr.. Power
is of the belief that the coming year
will still show a healthy increase over
the last, January showing up especial
" strong. The food of chartered IN
stitutions is increasing very fast, al
though the amounts Of capital stock
is not quite so large as in former
wears.

1t is necessary for the realization
of the dream of "Greater Missis-
slppi" that our people study more the
plans and intricacies of our govern
ment; that hey acquaint themselves
with the many schemes and subter-
fuges likely to be called into force
for special legislation in the interests
OF few men to the detriment of the
many. They should keep themselves
familiar with what their representa-
tives are doing and the record they are
making. The whole fabric of govern
ment seems to be on the eve of start
ling changes or re-alignment because
of the disclosures of one who for years
was with the power that shapes legis-
lation and conspires to control abso-
lutely the affairs of our nation. An
intellectual citizenship, well posted as
to the affairs of our country is the
guardian of our destiny and the good
citizens of Mississippi have it within
their power to acquaint themselves
with this condition If it is a fact
that under present conditions in a
few years more ten men will control
the United States, then it is the duty
of every man to commence now to ac-
quaint himself with conditions and the
means to thwart this stupendous COR
spiraey. The loyalty of southern men
has never been questioned by those
who know, and it might be well for
them to become better acquainted with
the affairs of the nation and not de-
pend so much as in former years upon
others to shape its destiny. The truth
of the assertion mentioned above as to
the money power of the country is not
brought into question, only word of
warning given so that our people can
prepare themselves to act intelligent
ly if such condition was about to be-
come a fact.

Cotton and Corn Carnival.

The directors of the Cotton and
Corn Carnival have been called to meet
on the 20th of February for the pur-
pose Of determining on what is to be
done in the way of a Carnival this
fall. The consensus of opinion seems
to be that an effort shall be made to
have a much larger exposition than
was possible on the short notice last
fall. That Carnival was great sue
cess, considering the very short time
the management had to work it up,
only about two months, but the next
one will be inaugurated months in ad-
vance and made the best that time and
money can get together. Jackson is
determined to make the Carnival .
permanent enterprise, regardless OF
the cost, and the men at the back OF
it have the means to put through any
enterprise they tackle
