SLIGHTLY OFF.

"The Vicksburg American says: There
is not considerable town in Mississip-
pi which is not having trouble with its
water supply. with the exception OF
Greemvile. which owns its own plant.
The Bulletin begs leave to correct tho
Americans; the city Of Natcl,ez owns its
own water plant. probably the finest IN
tho state, and as good for its capacity
as any in the country, and she is certain
ly having no trouble with her water sup.
ply SO far as any one Knows. 1t is under
the management of capable gentlemen.
and they see to it that it comes mp to
the requirements in every particular. -

The American apologies.
Somebody said, very sensibly. Happy
is the nation that has no history"
Equally happy is the city whose water
works give it no occasion to chronicle
either victories or defeats, disasters or
disappoin tments.
Long may the ancient and consider
able town OF Natchez con tinue to enjoy
the happy ohscurity which arises from
having no trouble to record.-vicksburg

Rosedale owns her own water works
and we have one Of the best systems in
the State and the best water. Besides
this, the plant is a paying proposition
from financial standpoint.

Wisconsin Republican secreta-
ry Of state, Walter E. Houser, is
charged with attempted bribery,
and a warrant has been issued for
his arrest. The accused man, who
will be prosecuted by District At
torney Gilbert, leading candidate
for the Office of attorney general,
announces his candidacy for a
third term. The complaint against
the secretary is made by State In
surance Commissioner Host, who
charges that Houser in 1908 offer
ed to contribute 81, 900 to the Re-
publican campaign fund if the
commissioner would render a de-
cision favorable to a certain COM
pany. But why has the latter
waited three years before prefer
ring charges? Was it hoped that
Houser might raise the ante!

REPUBLICANS AND MO-
NOPOLY.

The House of Representatives
on June 5th, adopted a resolution
looking to the establishment by the
Government of an armor-plate
plant. The extortionate prices
charged by the Armor Plate Trust
for it's products have made the
ownership and operation of such
a plant by the Government ne
cessity. To allow private corpora
tions to hold a monopoly of things
indispensable to the government,
and thereby to fleece the public, as
the Armor Plate trust, the powder
trust, the beef trust, the coal trust,
the steel trust, and others have
done, is an objectionable sin and
shame. If the tariff rates on trust
products were reduced or abolish
ed there would be competition,
which would break down the mo,
nopoly that these trusts now enjoy.
But the Republican politicians re-
fuse to revise the tariff and seem
quite willing to vote appropria'
tions for trust products at monopo
ly prices.

IMPRISONMENT FOR LAW
BREAKERS.

Even conservative people have
come to the Democratic contention
that flning corporations for break
ing the law of the land has but lit
tie effect and that nothing short OF
imprisonment of the officials will
compel obedience to the law. The
enforcement of the law, says the
New York Evening Post, is be-
coming a hobby of the executive
officers and district attorneys. The
news of the day is full of specific
instances. Certain officials of the
Department of Justice at Washing
ton are predicting that there will
soon be wholesale suits against
the Standard Oil Company and the
railways for violating the Elkins
Anti-Rebate law. If, as well in
formed men assert, the Garfield in
vestigations have uncovered 1000
illegal shipments over a single
road, there may be fines running
into the millions-fnes that will
make the 500, 900 recently exacted
by the court from the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, a mere
trifle. The fines may be saiutary,
but for our part we believe that the
penalty of imprisonment-which
may be imposed in the discretion
of the judge-would do much
more to inspire among shippers
and common carriers a wholesome
respect for the statutes.

The Washington Post remarks
that Mr.. Thomas E. Wilson, general
manager of the Nelson Morris
Company, who represented all the
Chicago packers before the agri-
cultural committee of the House
last Wednesday, docs not look to
be more than thirty years of age,
and had he not admitted that he
had been in the packing house
business twenty years he might be
mistaken for a theological stu
dent" Judging by recent revela-
tions, it is quite possible that Mr..
Wilson is familiar with the book oi
Ezekiel.

The editor of this paper attend
ed church some time ago and lis
tened to the good sermon. We
enjoyed the singing, too, and stood
up with the brethren and sisters
while they sang the good old
hymn, Shall We Know Each
Other There?' While the hymn
was being sung we glanced about
us and counted about a dozer
members of the congregation and
of the church, who do not speak
to each other when they meet or
the street, or elsewhere. The
thought occurred to us, why should
they know each other there
when they seemingly don't know
each other here?''-Exchange.

THE FRENZ1ED BEEF PACK.
ERS.

1t is stated that the Neill-Rey.
nolds report on the beef trust lior.
rors has already seriously injured
the American meat trade abroad
that the sale Of American canned
meats has practically stopped alto
gether in London, and that
throughout Belgium the marke,
for our lard and other prepared an
imal products has been killed.
Nor is this all; in New York and
other cities a decrease in the use of
meats is very apparent, and this is
especially noticeable at public res
taurants, where diners always look
with more or less suspicion at the
dishes prepared beyond their own
ken.
Such results are perfectly natural
and to be expected, and the public
cannot feel sorry for the men who
have brought this state of affairs to
pass. 1t is right that they should
be punished for their actions, and
it is pity that such punishment
may not be more drastic than mere
monetary loss-or rather a mere
lessening of profits.
The agricultural committee OF
the House does not seem inclined
to take the offenders to task. Its
members want to take trip to Chi
cago and make an inspection"
themselves. Just as if every pack
ing house in the city had not been
imbued with a frenzy of house
cleaning ever since the snbject-
matter of the report was first hint
ed at.
In fact, the plan appears to be
to delay reporting the agricultural
bill to the House until the last pos
sible moment, and then to force it
through without any meat inspec-
ton amendment, or to add Sub
stitute which will be eminently sat
isfactory, not to the public, but to
the packers.
One thing is certain, if the pres
ent congress does not assist the
people in this shameful matter,
these same people will remember
that fact at the polls next fall.

BALL NOTES.

Gee! hut he does play ball! Who, why
Gee, OF course:
Leslie Joest pitched the nine innings
and seemed good for another nine at tht
finish. Couldn't rattle him at all. he
will make good pitcher.
Richard Shelby played the game to per
fiction, as usual. He knows Daik
when lie secs one, too.
Shelly McBroom. at short, made sew
eral pretty PLAYS and two hits. He Is
always in the game.
Charlie Caldwell caught for Rosedale,
and, although lie had bad hnger. ne
threw to second nicely and made hit
or two when needed.
James Caldwell played third for Rose
dale and was i'll the game all the time.
Fontaine Goza PLAYED right field with
out an error and hit the ball III q way
that surprised the Beulah pitcher.
Alex Yerger played center field and
hacked mp second base like profes-
sional.
Rcnard Linncil was in left held, and
although his batting eye was not so
good, he got two bases on balls, was
hit once, died on third twice. and scored
one run.
Emmett Gibson, the Beulah pitcher.
played good ball, and with good sup
port would have made it interesting for
the Rosetlalc team.
The Reulah boys are all good fellows
and play good ball. They are always
WELCOME in Rosedale and we hope they
will come again soon.

THE QUESTION OF RATES.

There will be many difficulties
to overcome before the Commission
can fix a rate on all the vast net
work of railways, that will not be
oppressive, and at the same time,
be satisfactory to the railroads.
1t is really only ado the best they
can situation. The rate question
is also a very difficult one with in
surance companies. In this part
of the South, however, The Mis-
sissippi Home Insurance Company
has rates by which it has done a
vast volume of business, and has
paid out millions of dollars, and it
is stronger than eyer.

The Beef Barons are very in
sistent that their packing houses
are perfectly clean and that no un-
wholesome meat is sold to the pub
lie. At the same time we hear
that desperate effort is being
made TO clean up and renovate"
the packing establishments. Why
not abolish the tariff on beef and
cattle, and so give the people COM
petition with the trust and thus
reduce the price to a reasonable
basis?

The Humphreys liquor bill has
passed both houses of congress and
only awaits the signature of the
president to become a law. II
provides that the revenue agent
when called upon, furnish a list Of
all who have taken out revenue IL
cense to sell whiskey. Under the
laws of this state a revenue license
is prima facia evidence that the
party is guilty of retailing. Veri-

COUNTY STOCK Law.
Petition for mo Fence Law" to be Placed
Before the Board.

A petition bearing the signatures
of 1000 residents of the county,
praying no fence" law be made
operative i'll Bolivar county, will
be placed before the board of su-
pervisors at the July meeting for
their consideration. Under the
law as it now stands the board can
declare such measure in operation,
and this petition will be passed up
to the county legislators for their
approval or rejection.
The petition was placed in the
hands of c. L. Jones, jr., of Rose
dale, five weeks since for circula-
ton and signature. In this time
Mr.. Jones has covered the en-
tire territory north of the Peavine
railroad, and some parts of the loop
line territory south of Rosedale.
He expects to complete his rounds
and have the petition ready for
July meeting of the board here.
Judging from the way the peti-
ton is being signed, there can be
no doubt but that the sentiment of
the citizens OF the county is over
whelmingly in favor of a stock
law. We understand however,
that a counter petition is being cir
culated, and it is largely the Gus
tom of our people to sign everything
that comes along, there is no doubt
but that the counter petition will
have grown to that proportion by
the time for the meeting OF the
board that these gentlemen will be
up a stump, SO to speak, as to what
will be their duty in the premises.
The ranges that used to afford
pasturage the year round are prac-
tically gone, and if stock raising is
to be engaged in for profit pastures
must be provided. The scarcity of
sustenance for animals leads to
maurauding and devastation of
crops, and we doubt not that the
amount of destruction wrought up
on the growing crops each year is
far in excess of the sums realized
from the industry. If Our people
are to continue in the business for
profit it is imperative that they pro-
vide pastures for them. The ma
jority of the mich cows of the
county gain their living along the
highways where the garbage is far
from wholesome, drinking from
stagnant pools of water, and the
wonder is that the milk does not
cause widespread sickness. This
condition would wholly disappear
if pastures with pure water were
provided. The raising of stock
could be made one of the chief re-
venues of the country, if properly
engaged in, but the condition will
have to be changed from what they
are today. Confning them in pas
lures would also be conductive to
higher breeding and in short time
would produce animals more than
double in value of the scrubby
stock of today.
Wire is too cheap and time too
valuable to further pursue present
methods of stock raising. We do
not know what the fate of rhe pres
ent movement will be, but we feel
certain that it will pave the way to
the final solution of the NATTER

CLIMATIC CURES

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration i'll the morning Is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence OF that
Weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaust
ton due to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
YOU be able to go to warmer cline, YOU
will find that of the thousands of con
sumptives there, the few who are ben
efted and regain strength are those who
Use German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25ci
