WOULD NOT DIVULGE.

Thomas Davenport, a substantial
citizen Of ToccOa, Ca, was enticed
from his home a few days ago. He
waS carried off into the woods by three
negrOeS, bound, gagged and hoodwink-
ed and threatened with death if he
did not divulge the secrets of MaSona-
ry. He was held by his captorS for
thirty hours and denied food and
water when they finally left him for
dead without obtaining the desired
secrets. He managed to wander out
10 a road which lead him to farmers
dwelling where he told of the horri-
BILE tortures to which he had been
subjected. He was carried back to
bis home and the whole country be-
gan the search for the perpetrators of
the crime.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

The crop outlook is anything else
but encouraging. The rains continue
and the reports from all points are not
of the hopeful kind. We hear of a few
places that have suffered for rain, but
the cry is general, ''tOo much rain"
Ii there is anything in the statement
made by old farmers, "a dry May and
June for a good crop year," the year
1905 will be remarkable fora short crop
of both corn and cotton. The rain,haS
been 50 frequent that it would have
been impossible to have kept the crops
clean had they ever been gotten in
that condition. The fact Of scant
corr cribs as well as d small number
of bales Of cotton confrontS the farmer
for this fall. 1t behOoves them to
give the very best attention to late
corn; cotton will largely take care of
itself from now on.

GUESSING.

Some OF Governor Vardaman'S Pc
culiarly Jealous friends, The Biloxi
Herald, for instance, and others, in
siSt that it is the "LOngino- Wilson
combine backing the candidacy of
J9ihn Sharp Williams for the Senate.
This alleged combine, which is still
causing a great many people to see
night mares, has about as much to do
with Mr.. Williams candidacy as it
does directing the shadows Of the
moon across the sands Of Sahara
Desert.
This guess is about a. near the
truth as a great many gueSSeS that
were turned as arrows against the
candidacy of Gov. LOnginO two years
ago. In due time, we dare say, both
the Governor and Mr.. Williams will
be glad to welcome those who voted
for LOnginO, and no time will be lost
in catechiSing them at the door,
either.

After q prolonged struggle the
Board OF Supervisors of Yazoo county
has ruled in favor of the Prohibition
lists and against ordering an election
on local option. This is q fortunate
thing for the county. An election
would have wrought the people OF
the county to q high pitch Of excite
ment and the result was q fOregOne
conclusion. The county could not
have afforded to have taken q step
backward and chained herself with
the milestone Of open saloons. The
Masons, and all other fraternal orders
too, we are informed, oppose the open
saloon. This, outside the stand taken
by the various churches, is enough to
constantly direct the public eye to
their baneful influence, and we dare
say that the day Of saloons viii never
return to Mississippi.

A MORAL AWAKENING.

1t is a hopeful sign OF a better day
when we see the business people and
the best element of citizenship unit
ing in the great cities and larger
towns for the overthrow of graft, ring
rule and police corruption. 1t is in
dicatiye of a moral awakening and that
the good people of the respective places
have consulted their moral chronOm-
eterS with reference to the ten Com
mandmentS and are expressing and
demonstrating their determination to
overthrow the gambling element and
that which represents the vicious and
libidinous in society and Supplant them
with officials who publicly proclaim
their opposition to such things and
their adherence to a Code of Morals as
advocated by religious societies and
Traternal organizations.
Man, we are taught, is inherently
corrupt. II he were not SO, without
the restraining influence Of the church
and good society, he would become SO
by association. Man needs to have
his life circumScribed. Limitations
must be placed upon his business, and
his conduct regarding his fellow man.
Certain things must be surrendered
by the individual for the good of SOcle-
ty. The perpetuatiOn Of the home,
the success Of business, depends, in a
certain sense, upon forgetting the
individual and looking to the interests
of the community at large. A per-
feet enforcement of law, will, per-
hapS never be attained, but the near
est approach to it in any community
is the ideal place and that which is
the freest from social jar, business
friction and political eruption.

Last week 2,Ol1 babies were born
in New York City, which is n every
five minutes. 1t seems that PreSi-
dent RoOsevelt'S stand on race suicide
has very much increased the birth
rate. The change is either attribnta-
BILE to the President or some other
good influences. The birth rate there
now is 81 per /, 900, whereas six years
ago it was rs per 1000. Last year it
was 80 per 1000.

MtstIetoe MYTHS.

Many English girls believe that they
will not be welded inside of twelve
months unless they have at least one
kiss under the mistletoe. In many
counties a berry is plucked from the
mistletoe with each kiss, and when
there are no berries &C kisses are al
lowed. Mistletoe used to be consider,
ed a charm or amulet to ward off the
baleful influence of witches. 1t was
also considered that it's influence was
irresistible, that no one could possibly
pass beneath 1t without yielding to Its
power, and hence both matron and
maid must submit to the salutation
which has since become customary
