we excerpt this from Current Com
ment Mississippi column of n. O..
Picayune of August 9Th, bearing
date from Jackson Bureau:
While manufacturing industries
of all kinds have developed wonder
fully during the last six or eight
months in Mississippi, those connec-
ted with the lumber and woodwork
ing industry, and growing out of the
timbered wealth of tire Magnolia
State seem to have outstripped, and
quite naturally, everything else. The
record of charters onsfle in the Sec
rotary of State Office is the barom-
eter that indicates better than any
other what has been and is being
done in the way of going after the
timber wealth of the State, and that
since the first of the present year.
During that period over two and a
half million dollars have been organ
lied and subscribed to the capital
stock of some fifty companies Organi-
zed according to the laws of the
State, and these are distributed in
various directions, though princ'1,..s-
ly, and quite naturally. in the South
ern half of the State. Perry County
leads in the number of companies or
ganized, with six, with an aggregate
capital of $500, 900; Kinds County
shows up strongest in point of CAPT
tai organized, as the record is four
companies. with an aggregate capital
of 81, 0O0,0 600. This sum is swelled
by the big Central Lumber Company
organized by the Herricks, with a
capital Of $1,000, 900. Simpson County
organized four companies, with a
combined capital of $4,000: New
ton three with a capitalization of
sos, 600; Greene three, with $125,-
900; Lamar three with $165, 900;
Washington two with $125, 900; Har-
rison two. with $125, 900; Chicka-
saw two, with $4,000; Bolivar two
with $35, 600; T4auderdale two, with
800, 900, and Lawrence, Madison,
Wayne, De Soto and Lefiore one each,
with $4,000. The work is not
checked as yet, as there will be as
many more organizations chartered
during the next six or eight months
for lumber or wood working in some
form or other, these organizations
springing up with the railroads and
with new roads projected to tap di :
tricts not yet developed the organi
zation of these industries will con-
tinue, and will contribute largely to
the development of greater Mississ
SipDi.'

A Brookhaven, Miss. Special to
the N. o. Picayune says in part:
Governor Vardaman to day Aug.
~ addressed an audience of several
hundred people at the Court house.
The address was chaste in diction
and delivered with the eloquence for
which the Governor is fond. He
struck the Southern delegation in
Congress hard blow when he men,
toned the need of Jim Grow car
law in the city of Washington, and
asked why do not our Southern
congressman propose the enactment
of such a law?' The Governor an
swered his own question by saying
that the Congressman are afraid of
criticism. Governor Vardaman de-
clared that if he is chosen to repre-
sent Mississippi in the Senate he will
offer such a bill at least once a year
He said that he would rather be in
strumental in securing the repeal of
the Fifteenth Amendment than to
WELD the sceptre of King Edward
VII.

TEE poor RICH BOY.

HOME ETHICS

The ethics of home correspond In

All these virtues which are crowned
jewles of the highest civilization have
their inception in the home. The
glory and charm of womanhood and
manhood, the niceties of character
which give distinctiveness and beau
ty to childhood and youth, the adjust
mentS OF personal and domestic rcla-
tiOns within the home, the education
of the impulses, budding susceptible
tiles and growing powers of children,
all fall within the powers of home
ethics. Nowhere else can the abstract
virtues of practical duties be more
forcibly disclosed. Honesty, fidelity
to trusts, truthfulness, courage, true
dignity, the lesser virtues as well as
the finer and nobler issues of life.
must revert to home training for
their proper and lasting incubation.
The duties of home then are simply
the aggregate of all the obligation
that grow out of the family. relation,
and ON the discharge of these depends
the success or failure of the home
life. Home may be made happy or
wretched, according to the discharge
of these obligations. 1t is not, how
ever, the great questions of these OBJ
legations that most vitality effect the
happiness of the home, but the ag-
gregate of all these little obligations
that love always imposes. The crown
inc glory of the home life iS that Il
draws its supremest JOY from the
little events.
Our daily paths, with thorns or How-
erS
We can and will bestrew them;
What bliss would gid the passing
hours.
If we but rightly knew theml
The way of life is rough and best,
But briers yield the roses;
So that which leads to joy and rest
The hardest path discloses.
