The Oxford Eagle still remembers
a condition that is to be sought after
again. A good old time that should
not be forgotten: fWith meat sell
ing at the present price the ante-bel-
lum smoke house, filled as it generally
was to overhowing with home-cured
middlings, shoulders, hams and adorn-
ed with strings of sausages and jars
of homemade Lard, would have been
a fortune to the possessor. These
hOmely luxuries under the old regime,
were used entirely for home consump-
tion, and were but small pars of the
Southern planters self-sustaining re-
sources. Men who bought their sta
pie supplies in those days were great
ly in the minority, and were consider
ed on the road to bankruptcy, which
was generally the unvarnished truth. -
A return to those good old days would
be a welcome change for our people,
and they will do It too. Interest in
such matters is on the increase and
our people viii finally produce the
bulk of everything used at home on
their farms.

The growing Importance of the poul-
try industry in Mississippi caused Ed
itor Jonas Of the Aberdeen Examiner
to publish the follwing: Mississippi
needs no pointer on that. It is
one of. the leading poultry states of
the Union. According to the census
report the value of It's poultry pro-
duets Ia 1899 was $4,259, ,249, as
against ST., ,S40,663 for Missouri; and
yet the white population of Missouri
was nearly FIVE times as great as that
of our state, and we all know that lit
tie attention was paid to obtaining
statistical reports from our negro
population, among whom the raising
Of poultry is almost universal. Mis-
sissippi led all of the cotton states ex-
cept Texas, North Carolina and Ten
nessee, and led them all in proportion
to population. We do not believe that
there is state in the Union where
poultry raising is as general as it Is
In ours, we know that We can boast as
many enthusiastic breeders as any 9TH
er state In the last census we led 27
other states in the number of chickens
including all of the cotton states ex-
cept Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas.
In turkeys we led all cotton states
except Texas and Tennessee. making
a close run for second place. In geese,
we passed all except Texas, Arkansas
and Tennessee, and in ducks are only
led IN the cotton sisteIhood by Tennes-
see, Texas, North Carolina and Ar
kansas. In turkeys we led all the
states in the Union except fourteen,
and only fell behind Missouri 1884
In number of eggs produced, we led
all of the states except eighteen. From
almost every depot and river landing
IN the state, poultry and eggs are ex-
ported; in every poultry Journal the
advertisements ofMississippi breed
ers can be found at all of the
great exhibits Mississippi fowls take
prizes, and at the annual meets of
the Mississippi Poultry and Pet Stock
Association in Aberdeen, finer collec-
tion of fowls is assembled, than grae-
ed the world S fair at Missouri's en-
porium. More than that, Mississippi's
high bred fowls are being sold at
handsome prices to fanciers in many
distant states, and in the matter of
choice feed for chickens, one Aber-
deen manufacturer makes shipments
IN ton lots to numerous customers, and
cannot keep up with his orders. "
This instructive article should prove
a source of great pride and satisfac-
ltlon of those who are interested In the
welfare Of our State. The industry is
yet in its infancy, and it is confident
ly expected that the next few years
will show a wonderful increase IN the
production of poultry and eggs There
is money in it and the demand is still
far ahead of the supply, insuring ex-
cellent prices.

Considerable interest has recently
been aroused by the action of num-
Der Of officials who are trying to en-
force the law to the letter They have
been termed fanatics and few other
pei names by those who would not rec
ognize any law if it could be avoided.
| This is the case more especially with
reference to the laws against doing
business on the Sabbath. In sections
of the state such regulations have been
ignored and now that an effort is. be-
ing made to enforce them, there is a
great kick made. The perpetuity of
our state institutions and the protec-
tion of its citizens lies in the en-
foreement of the law. Every statute
on the book should be strictly enforc-
ed and then if they are found bad,
the remedy lies in the repeal of that
section. Mississippi should be law
abiding state and as such, would offer
greater inducements for good peop,s
to make their home here, than every
thing else combined. Enforce the laws
and the best citizens viii give the off.
GERS every support. @e W
1t is time that the people of Missis-
sippi were beginning to stop and think
of where the end will be, or what the
result Of allowing laws to be infraeted
without an effort to punish the often
ders. When man who is inclined
to break the law is allowed to go free
with slight infraction, he is encour-
aged to try a more serious one the
next time. Lawlessness grows upon
a country in just that manner Our
great season of prosperity has brought
to us numbers of lawless characters
from other sections and to prevent Sc
rious trouble in the future, our citi-
zens should see to it that the officers
cd their whole duty and prevent them
securing too much headway in their
nefarious practices.
