WORN OF Mr.. CLARK.
viii Devote His Entire Time to the
Cotton Association.

President Walter Clark, of the
Mississippi Cotton Association,
has disposed of his business inter-
ests in Coahoma county, retaining
only his large plantation, which
has been placed in the hands of a
competent manager, and in the
future he will devote his time ex-
clusively to the work of the asso-
citation.
An arrangement has been made
whereby Mr.. Clark is somewhat
justified in1this step, from a finan-
cial standpoint, his salary having
been placed at $1,000 per year,
and the association is confident
that it will get full value for this
outlay.
With President Clark constant
IL in the field, visiting the various
local and county organizations,
and giving encouragement to the
plans and projects of the associa-
tion in every section Of the COM
monwealth, the alignment that
will result is certain to be of a
most formidable nature. He is a
man Of remarkable executive abil-
ity, man Of eminence in the
business world, an orator of force
and persuasion, and if the Missis-
sippi Cotton Association does not
absolutely dictate the crop situa-
tion in this State during the COM
ing crop year the failure to do SO
will not be because of lack Of
effort. At present a solid front is
presented, and the doctrine of
crop diyersifeation is being
in every cotton growing
community in the State, the OBJ
iect being to hold the acreage
down to the basis of last year, and
plant larger crops of grain, pota-
toes, hay, etc. jackson News.

The Lockwood Bill.

The Clarion-L Ledger says of the
much discussed Lockwood Bill,
which came before the House COM
mittee yesterday:
This is the bill which provides
for the examination of all patent
medicines, and makes it obliga-
tory upon all medical concerns sell
ling their prescriptions in the
State, which contain the least
amount of narcotic, to mark with
plain letters upon the bottle or
box the exact amount of each in
gredient contained in the package.
The bill since it's introduction
by Mr.. Lockwood has received a
thorough airing in the State press,
and the general opinion prevails
that its passage would do more
harm than good. as it would near
ly ruin the wholesale drug con-
Germs IN the State, and would
work a great injury to the retail
drng business
An unfayorable report was made
on the bill.

necessary expenses of carrying on
the work of the Association, gen
eral, State and county. Mr.. J..
g. Sessions was elected secretary.

THE JACKSON NEWS DODGEs AGAIN.

4 Decn aTter the news Tor some Time
to divulge the name of that official
who offered to bet a thousand dol
liars that the Supreme Court would
reverse the Sandy Bayou case, and
in its last issue it asks If he is the
same official who some years ago
was alleged to have taken some
hand in the appointment Of a city
treasurer in jackson. For its
benefit the News will say that he
lis not. 1t is not the business of
4Ithis paper to divulge the name OF
1.-THE State official. The News has
mo knowledge that he actually bet
ibis money, but he did freely offer
to bet on the result, and stated at
the time that he had no advance
knowledge of what the opinion
would contain. The Leader seems
to be very much stirred up over
trying to find out the name of the
State official who was SO sure that
be said he was willing te risk a
goodly sum on the result. As far
as the knowledge of this paper
goes, no bet was actually made.
There is good deal Of difference
in man saying he would be will
ling to bet a thousand dollars on a
thing and putting up the money.
Really, Brother Hobbs, there was
no harm done and no occasion fol
any roasts in the premises. Men
offer to bet On most anything, but
then you know that there are COM
paratively few bets made. Amer
leans are very prone to emphasize
their opinions by offering to bet
something. Then you know the
poet has said that life is a gamble,
so what is the use of pitchforking
those who are so cocksure of their
opinion that they desire to wager
real money on them. There are few
men in Mississippi, or anywhere
else, who have loose thousand
dollar bills lying around to take
up every bet that is offered. The
gentleman who offered to make
the bet is true game, and if he
could have found some one to
put up like amount, he
would most assuredly have come
across. jackson Evening News,
29th.
The answer of the News is d.
rect and and satisfactory enough
as to the alleged CRATER who fig.
ured In the Jackson treasuryship
appointment, but it again dodges
on the main question. 1t is easy
enough to see how person might
offer to make bet as the News
theories we all hear something
of that kind every day, not meant
seriously-but that is not the way
the News has been representing
the matter in the case of this
prominent State official. 1t
has said not once but three times
that he was ready to back up his
bet, and assures the public in the
closing part of the above article
(which completely negatives what
had gone before), that "the gen.
tleman who offered to make the
bet is true game, and if he had
found some one to put up,a like
amount, he would most assuredIy
have come across. "
For public journal which pre-
tends to believe in a high stand
ard Of civic virtue in public off
cials, the attitude of the News in
this matter is distinctly disap-
pointing. 1t has again demon
strated that it is about as hard to
get right answer from it in this
matter which concerns the general
public as it is to corkserew the
truth out of a trust magnate.

dous business during the next twelve
months than at the present time. The
southern and western trade is proving
unusually active at the present time,

REO'S growing popularity is found in
large dealers renewing their contracts
for more cars-in several instances
the increase over 1906 being 80 to -
per cent. These facts have already
brought marked changes on every
hand at the REQ factory, the facilities
for the 1907 output having been in
creased at least 10 per cent. In view
of the many popular cars that the
REQ had to contend with when it was
launched on the market a little over
a year ago, it is very generally con-
ceded that its record in having jumped
into such widespread popularity in SO
short time is exceptionally brilliant.

THE FRENCH MEAL.
Its Greatest Charm IL the Cheerful
Table TaIk


After all, excellent as are the dishes
and the order and manner OF their serv-
ice. the table talk Is perhaps the chief
glory OF the French meal.
II Is no unusual thing to hear our
countrymen and countrywomen, espe-
cially our countrywomen, refer to eat
ing as necessary evil. like the pre-
scribed dose Of nOisome medicine; as
an altogether bothersome business to
be disposed OF as quickly as possible,
with an air that IL sour, aggressive,
disgusted. languid patronizing. dream
ful, whining or discouraged, according
as II springs from dyspepsia, puritan
ism, interrupted hustling annemia, af-
fcctation, esOterlc philosophy, disap-
pOintment in love, or honest weariness
with a hard and monotonous daily
round
Such a sentiment would scarcely be
uttered In France, where the attitude
toward the table Is universally cordial
and respectful, and II could not be
taken seriously If 1t were.
The French writer who said, "The
table Is the sole place where one Is
never bored during the first hour"
voiced perfectly u national feeling

An Odd Argument.

Here Is knotty problem suggested
by Sir Henry Roscoe in his autobiogra-
ply. Two men argued as to whether
oil or water were the lighter. The first
man contended that the oil must be
lighter, as it floats upon water. And
then the unscicntifc man trlumphed
with the argument that oil must be the
heavier because it keeps the water
down.
