STUDYING THE INTERIOR.

kilograms announce under big
headlines that Mr.. Charles Scott is
riding this week through the towns
along the M. J. &K. C. railroad, after
having gone from Grand Junction,
through Ashland to Ripley, and then
took the country roads, on horseback,
south, along the M. ]. Il X. G. rail-
road, and proclaim that he takes
such a novel and daring method of
meeting the people in the interior
districts, for the sake of knowing
them better and studying their needs
and conditions"
Mr.. Scott's life in the hills was
spent in Jackson, Memphis and Vicks-
burg, and he has seen the country on
ly from Delta standpoint. Had he
been reared on farm in the hills, as
was Senator Noel, and had lived in a
hill town, he would not now be under
the necessity Of studying needs and
conditions Of hill people. The op-
portunities Of studying will be too
limited to avail anything. A hurried
ride along a country road to a speak
ing point in a town doesn't afford
much opportunity for studying needs
and conditions" Of any one but of the
man who is doing the studying.

NOEL S SUPPORT
ERS TO ORGANIZE
Clubs Throughout Holmes County
For Concerted Action In
The Campaign.

An informal meeting of some of
the supporters of Senator +.
+. Noel was held Wednesday night at
the Office of Messrs. Tackett & FL
more, at the suggestion of Hon. s. N.
Sample, who came to Lexington that
afternoon and spent the night. AL.
though the notice was not extensively
circulated, and only few hours be.
fore, and Notwithstanding a good
theatrical performance was going on
at the time, goodly number Of re-
preventative citizens of Lexington
met at the Office of Tackett &
Elmore. After discussion, cam
paign committee for Holmes County,
to promote the candidacy of Senator
E. F. Noel for governorship was or
ganized, with Mr.. S. N. Sample as
chairman, and R. E. Wilburn, secre-
tary. Steps we're taken to organize
clubs throughout the county for the
purpose of enlisting the active inter-
est of all the people Of our county in
the success Of their home candidate.
In this way, the people of Holmes
County can, by united effort, turn
their attention to the people Of the
other counties Of the State, and each
of our citizens can reach greater or
less number in other counties, and en-
list a feeling over the State generally
that will insure the success of Holmes
County's candidate. As shown at the
meeting, Mr.. Noels prospects are ex-
cellent, superior to that of any other
candidate. He is certain to be in the
second primary; and in the second
primary, it is generally believed
throughout this State, that no one
could defeat him. Holmes County
has gotten, until very recently, al
most nothing, in the way of high Off
ces, no state Office at all. Had our
people presented, as they will do now,
united and enthusiastic support of
home men, our own citizens would, in
the past, have filled many of the high
Offices in the State. I'm union there
is strength is the old saying; and
our people are more united now,
in favor of their home men, than ever
before in the history of the county.
Past divisions led to defeat and to
deferring all State Offices to other
localities.

PERILOUS CAMPAIGNING.

A special from New Albany to the
Clarion Ledger, published yesterday,
recites that Hon. Chas. Scott, on his
horse back tour, had reached that
point, and that great interest is be-
ing aroused in the man who can take
such novel and daring method of
meeting the people in the interior
districts"
Original reports stated that Mr..
Scott would make his trip along
points not reachable by railroads, and
between the different systems, but
kilograms day before yesterday an
nounced that he had struck the NJ. J..
& X. C. railroad at Ripley, after hav-
ing passed through one interior coun-
ty site, Ashland, and was following
the railroad southwark towards Pom
totoc and other railroad towns on that
line. The kilograms failed to show
the cause of Mr.. Scott's leaving the
interior country roads and taking to
the railroad public roads, whether it
it was due to absence of auditors, or
the presence of ravenous wild beasts.
1t would seem that it is easier to ride
in a car than on a horse when visiting
railroad towns. However, all of this
newspaper reporting of a country
trip taken by a candidate, reminds us
of Roosevelt's hunting tours, with re-
porters hanging around, to chronicle
every insignificant detail, making
much ado about nothing.
Last week Senator Noel spoke
three successive days at different
county sites, two of them distant
from railroads, and made a country
trip of thirty-four miles one after
noon, twenty-five miles the next af-
ternoon and thirty-nine miles the
third day of speaking, and travelled
part of the three nights on trains,
and neither he, nor his supporters,
thought the distance, nor method of
travel worth mentioning.

SMOKING STORIES.

Somewhere, the other day, I heard a little yarn about United States Senator Spooner, who had undertaken to give mp smoking, and was miserably walk ing up and down the cloak room, tell- ing everybody what a difficult task it was.
 Finally brother Senator, wishing to encourage him in his good resolution, said:
 ''I believe it is generally agreed that tobacco shortens a mans days"
 Tt certainly does." Senator spooner answered. "At any rate, my days have been twice as long since 1 quit it."
 This reminds me of another tobacco story-one for the truth of which l can vouch
 For many years a well-known cor respondent at Washington had been filing scrapbooks with tems of nter- est about pubic men and women. Erevv tenn was carefully ndexed under va rous headings and Il tme these scrap boks became veritable mnes of infor- nation, which he worker for all they were worth by sending a daily letter of personal gossip to a large svndi- cate of newspapers all over the con- i try.
 This brought in so much money that he was soon enabled to hire a staff of assistants, who relieved him of a large part of the syndicate work, and gave him time to attend to other lucrative matters. It was his practice to choose the general topic of each letter and write a brief introduction. Then his assistants copied the rest from the in- dexed scrapbooks.
 One of these letters, thus prepared related to the use of tobacco by public men, and among the items was done, copied verbatim from scrapbook which said that Congressman IL, of a certain Western State, quite smoking a year ago"
 In a few days the enterprising core. spondent received a letter from the ed. ! itor ola small daily newspaper in that State saying:
 You needn't send any more of your d--d letter to me. I'm no hog.

suffer from some neurosis. So common are organic and functional diseases among school children in New York City that should the facts already se- cured hold good over the entire city and those afflicted be excluded from at- tendance two-thirds of our schools would be compelled to close for lack of pupils. The effects of these physical conditions upon the life and capability of the future citizens are far reaching.
 The etiological factors conspicuous in the disabilities of school children are environment, personal habit and here dity. Of those suffering from organic diseases, 30 per cent live in unhealthy and squalid environment, in an atmos- phere of drunkenness and immortality; during the day beaten and cursed, and at night permitted to sleep on the floor. Thousands fill premature graves. and other thousands, with enfeebled con- stitutions, labor through life under the curse inflicted upon them by parents ignorant of the laws of life
 The conditions of the children of the Submerged tenth is pitiabe. Few normal children are to be found among them. Undoubtedly much of their di- sease is born in filth and nurtured by vice, but no inconsiderable proportion finds its genesis in the bottle. These children have little to curb the animal passions but every opportunity for the expansion of depraved natures. The drink environment Is such @ menace to growing girls that virture is maintained with difficulty. An extensive study warrants the belief that 50 per cent are likely candidates for lives of prositu- tion. Within eight weeks girls 7 8 and Il years of age have been outraged. There are certain houses known to the authorities which appear to make a speciality of this line of business.
 Why are these things allowed? Are there not charity organizations, chil- dren's aid societies and boards of health to supplement an elaborate and costly police department? Yes, but the con- ditions which we would correct are so intimately related to the legalized traffic than move to protect the child Is met with a counter move to protect the income of the political grafter and l to throw halo of sanctity about the denizens of the saloon.
 Alcohol, by destroying the integrity of nerve structure, launches heredit- ary influences and impants tendencies 1 which a good environment may not hold in check, Those forms of physical and moral disorder that stand in close relation to the nervous organization are among the first to impress themselves upon the descendant From early childhood many children of foreigners are taught to drink wine with their meals. Others drink because of as. sociation with drinkers. A third class | are led to drink through the Induce ments offered to children at the free lunch counter and. in the playrooms I connected with certain saloons.
