the farmer drives nine meat animals
to the butcher" is the statement
made by Secretary Wilson in re-
ferring to the nations meat supply.
He furnishes some interesting
statistics showing the increase in
the price of meat. The average re-
tail price Of meat, he says, for all
kinds in the proportion of actual
consumption was l2ai cents in 1900,
l3 cents in 1901 and l3a cents in
1905. This average he declares, in
creased perhaps to l3aa, or at the most
to IA cents in 1906.
"At these average meat prices,
Secretary Wilson continues, 'and
with the meat consumption of 1900,
the matte nal retail meat bill was So
052,2790OO in 1900 and it was 49,
303,57S,00O to $2,345, 46l 900 in
1906. Every increase of one-fourth
of a cent per pound in the national
average retail price of meat raises
the yearly total expense to consum-
ers by S4l,SS3,O0O. The increase
of | cent a pound since 1900 cost

me West India Yam.

The West India Yam is variety
of potato little known in Florida
but seems naturally adapted to our
soil and climate. But few farmers
have tried its culture and only an
occasional one has made a success
of raising this excellent vegetable
that closely resembles an Irish
potato in Aa5or. 1t grows, how
ever, more like sweet potato
throwing out vigorous vines that
Chamber for twenty or more feet on
any support provided The vine
makes an excellent shade for an
arbor or window.
We have/gfown them by our
library window for several years
past and never yet failed to have a
dense shade for the south window
and large tubers for our Thanks
giving dinner. From one hill
under this window this fall we
took potatoes to weigh thirty
pounds one of them weighing six
teen pounds, one eight and the
other six,
The potatoes are ptopagated
from tubers as are Irish potatoes.
One may eat his dinner from a
part, take the top and plant inn

planting. It may be June before
they begin to show. They need
the following six months to mature
and are only dug as wanted same
as sweet potatoes. They do not

The banking growth Of florida

In speaking Of the awarding Of
the county printing the Arcadia
News says that bids from the
various printing offices over the
county were opened. The News
is mistaken, as the Advocate is
one of the various Offices in the
county" and it did not have in a
bid, and for the simple reason that
a majority Of the present board of
county commissioners cannot stand
honest criticism, and we realize
that a paper that criticises their
acts right or wrong stands no
show of getting the county print
ing. As newspaper that stands
for the peoples rights, the
Advocate has felt called upon to
criticise some Of the acts Of the
present board, and when we did 50
we realized that we were casting
aside any chance we may have had
Of securing the county printing.
1t is simply matter Of standing
for the commissioners--right or
wrong. And finally let us say
that the matter Of the best bid is
all nonsense and the News aud the
commissioners knew it. Bids are
received for a few dollars worth Of
stationery and with this goes the
tex list~-a clean pickup Of FIVE or.
six hundred dollars Aid Vet

The Mississippi Current Comment
Column Of the N. O. Picayune, con-
tanned the following paragraph dated
from Jackson Nov. 9th:
The returns from the general
election are coming in slowly, up to
noon to-day not more than q dozen
counties having been heard from,
and all showinga hight vote. As an
illustration of the lightness of the
vote Lincohl County, with a normal
registered and qualified vote of over
2, 1000, cast 1874 for Congressman and
166 for the proposed amendment and
16 against, which shows at any rate
that clear majority of those vot-
ing favor putting the bride On the
legislative prerogative of voting
money not for appropriations. From
Tippah, at the other end of the
State, light vote is also reported,
being 397, with 373 for amendment.
Eight counties give total vote of
9, 263 for the congressional nominees
and 1915 for the amendment to 113
against, and it is figured out that
t,evote will be about at the same
ratio from the entire state There
is plenty of time in which to get in
the returns and be within the law,
and meantime the public curiosity
does not seem 10 be suffering.

BORROWING TROUBLE.

It is uncomfortably true that there
is almost as much distress of mind in
the anticipation as in the realization.
About half of our unhappy days are
occasioned by our looking forward
to the unhappiness of the other half
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof We need never take another
jot on credit. In borrowing trouble
natural laws are reversed: mere mole
hills of annoyance become mountains
when viewed at a distance ahead.
Some person never take actual com
fort. In tranquil times the dread of
a coming change is always in the way
of their enjoyment.
If we take things as they come, we
shall usually find that they come
much better than we have any right
to expect. Our anticlpatory flag may
have been inviting compassion, and
hnnglng patches OF darkness over
many bright scene for months, only
to Ind that we have been guilty Of
needlessly, we might say criminally,
robbing ourselves and others of the
happiness rightfully belonging to us
and to them.
Borrowing trouble is sometimes
only another name for selfshness; for
the one borrowing trouble is seldom
satisfied, unless all within his or her
influence are inveigled into the tolls.
1t is holding a dangerous serpent in
our heart, which grows with what it
feeds upon. 1t is sinful, for it is an
abiding distrust Of Gods good
ness.

It's the settled policy of a good
many editors. and we don't have to
go outside of Mississippi to find
them, to either ignore Or rewrite in
their own language, articles that
they espy in their contemporaries of
interest to themselves and readers.
The HERALD editor has no such false
idea OF journalism, but is constantly
reproducing in the original expires
sion with due credit given, many par
agraphs from our brother journalists
that in our judgement will be appre
ciative tid-bits of reading just as
they stard Pride sometimes ac
counts for editors refraining from do
ing the neighborly thing by their fell
low-editors and the square thing to
their readers in this respect. Some
labour under the belief that it will op-
crate to have those who scan their
sheets, believe that such a policy is
indicative of lack of brains. They are
wrong liz this of course. Their own
well written articles appearing IN
same issue with such reproductions
would safely belle such belief.

The establishing of a rural cons.
tabulary throughout the hamlets
of the South is being suggested by
great thinkers both of the White and
Black races, as means to prevent
the criminal tendency of the neg
roes. The nameless crime especially
is thought can be greatly reduced by
such policing of our rural districts.
The idea is that the officers so called
into service must be mounted and
each have certain assigned tract
to invest with his vigilance In
emulation of the ante beIlum Pat
roll" faniliarly known In Niger lore
as Patrol, is this method or
guard to be maintained. We see
no objection to the adoption of the
plan. The great cost it will entail
will be repaid by results accomplish
cd in wedding out crime. The ques-
tion of issuing passports would per-
haps too have TO be brought into use,
applying to all propertyless aud
rambling nondesciipt individuals, ir-
respective o. race and color.
