THE TATE COUNTY LESSON.

Much has been said and written
about the deplorable and the terrible
tragedy enacted in Tate county on
the morning of April 18th, in which
the life of a good man and a faithful
official was sacrificed by a devotion to
duty and at the hands of a body of
men by whom anarchy is bred, trea-
son originated and murder planned.
1t may be said that Sheriff Poag dis
played bad Judgment in firing his
pistol and offering resistance at all.
But be that as it may, these men had
placed themselves beyond the pale OF
the law. They had forfeited their
claims to judicial justice and were at
tempting to befOul the fair name OF
the great state of Mississippi with
the slime of their murky designs.
Whenever they colluded together to
wrest from an officer, armed with the
dignity of authority given him ty
the state, a prisoner in his keeping
one for whom there was scarcely any
prospect of his escaping a legal execu-
tion, they evinced a desire to trample
upou legal authority and to strangle
the spirit of obedience to those in
authority. 1t may be said that some
good men were in the mob. They
certainly were not acting the parts OF
good citizens that night and their
acts showed that they were under
the influence OF the evil spirits point
ed to as coming from the regions be-
low. Whatever else may grow out OF
this grewSOme incident. let us hope
that the blood of Sheriff POag may be
the seed of higher appreciation of law
and the shield that it is to each and
every citizen in the land.
We will never secure that perfec'
ticn in good government and obtain
that Stalwart growth in good citizen
ship that we should, until every citi
zen begins to realize that it is his
personal duty to see that the laws art
obeyed and to ferret out evil doors
and apprehend law breakers; unit
every citizen realizes that wheneve1
any law is violated his rights are en-
dangered, his safety threatened, SOciet.
disturbed and one of the pillars Of th'
nations greatness undermined.
If the blood of Tate cOunty'S sheriff
assists in bringing these results, i
has not been shed in vain.

NOT HOPEFUL FOR DEMOCRACY.

With Judge Parker proclaiming one
standard for democracy at a Jefferson
birthday banquet in the East and ex-
candidate Bryan proclaiming a differ
emit standard in the West, the signs are
not very hopeful that the services of
the political coroner will not yet be
needed to oficiate over the body of
the great and once powerful party
which gave to the country a Jefferson,
a Jackson, a Polk, a Tilden, a Ben.
Hill, an Alexander Stephens, a Cleye-
land and a Lamar. Bryan pleads for
an enlargement of the powers OF tie
national government, that it shall go
into business in competition with the
private individual, while Judge
Parker pleads with all the ~earneStneSS
Of his nature against the present ter
denotes Of the national administration
and for the principles proclaimed by
the party until the birth of the many
isms which have 1oated into its coun-
ellis during the last decade. The
position of the two wings of the party,
in many respects, is more a%ntagoniStic
than has been the party formerly to-
wards its republican foe. So
seemingly irreconcilable are the posi-
tionS taken by the two leaders, that
we do not see how it is possible for
the two wings to join hands with any
hope Of marShalling the democratic
hosts under the banner of any man.
Possibly the party may he rejuvenated
by 1912 and by 1916 shake off some Of
the things that now beSet it and go
before the people with a platform de-
void of vagarieS and with a candidate
even born out of present SophistrieS
and looking to the rising sun Of the
nations hope and the country S great
ness. We hope it may be other
wise. For the sake of our own partic-
ular section and the veal of the ma
tion at large we would be glad to see
the great hosts of democracy march
ing solidly under some good man like
Joe Folk of Missouri in 1908. 1t may
do this. The political baromenter
frequently indicates one thing while
the tabulator of election returns shows
another.

Ex-President Cleveland denies that
he goes on fishing trips to booze fight.
The enemies of Mr.. Cleveland never
seem to tire of circulating all kinds of
lies on him. Mr.. Cleveland is of
the greatest living Americans, and
unlike most men, when he was a can
didate for the presidency and accused
of moral lapse, he came out like a
man and said that it was true. That
was many years ago. The News i'm
AGNES that the public has forgiven
him this indiScretion long ago, and it
is certain that if all of those male
persons who have been guilty Of the
same moral indiscretion refuse to crit
icise him now, he will have but few
critics .-JackSOn Evening News.
Mr.. Cleveland's name will survive
when that of his carping critics is
swept into the whirlpool of forgetful-
ness. He is regarded by the world
today as one of its greatest statesmen.
AS president, he has met every public
duty with conscientious thought and
without regard to political expediency.
He was peculiarly a friend to the
South. In many respects, he was ar
immolation to public duty. The poll
ticians could not handle him.

FARM WORK BEHIND.

Farm work is very much behind the
average season. The great majority
of the farmers have not eve finished
planting corn, and scarcely little cot
ton land is ready for the reception OF
the seed. The season Is a late one.
The weather has been cold, and be-
sides, we have had al unusual amount
of rain. Many claim that the late
season of itself insures a decreased
production of cotton, but such a fact
is by no means assured. What a field
OF cotton will yield is the most difficult
thing in the world to calculate with
any degree of certainty. The yield
does not depend upon when you plant,
or so much how the crop is cultivated,
SO the weeds and grass are kept down,
as upon the weather during July and
August. Frequently, cotton, it would
appear, makes in spite Of itself. Again
the crop that promises the most
bountiful yield turns out to be almost
a failure. You are not in a position
to know definitely until it is picked.
The SureSt way to count upon fail
prices next fall and a reduced produc-
ton, is to plant less Of it. 1t is hoped
that this one point has been so repeat
eddy and so thoroughly presented that
the farmers at large realize its full
import.
