Mississippi's Vegetable Crop.

In the light of Mississippi's great
financial and industrial development,
there is no one feature more distinctly
remarkable than are those newly dis
covered agricultural and horticultural
resources of the southern counties,
which are not even excelled by those OF
California and are unequaled by those
of any other State. 1t is not GENERALLY
known that the winter shipments from
Long Beach, Harrison county, alone
will amount to something like 200 car
loads OF lettuce, radishes and bcets
during the season Of twelve weeks from
Feb. Is to May Is, and that the early
produce from that section is Of such
recognized superiority that it is eager

Unusual Pardon Petition.

a rather unusual pardon petition has
been received at the governors Office in
behalf OF Buster Thompson, convict
sent up from Winston county to serve
aten-year term for manslaughter. The
killing for which Thompson was con-
victed occurred in 1902, and he was In
jail two years prior to his trial. After
conviction Thompson sought to have
his case appealed to the supreme court,
but, according to the pardon petition,
the court s;enographer failed to tran
scribe the evidence, and afterwards left
the State, thus depriving him Of the
right OF appeal. Thompson was only
sixteen years of age at the time OF tho
killing, and claims that he was made
drunk at Christmas festival by older
men, and did not realize what he was
doing.

The hasdest proposition a man in
public life runs up against is to do right
when he is reasonably sure that the
public will not understand and censure
him for the action. In selecting men
TO fill the various offices next year
select those that you believe will do
what they believe to be right, regardless
of what public opinion will say. We
need men of that character to maintain
our past excellent record for honesty in
handling affairs of both county and

California Recovering,

California bank deposits amount to
$5i0,O00,000 and the banks in which
they are held are credited with assets
of $693000,000. The loss suffered by
San Francisco, by the earthquake and
fire, was unequaled by any similar ca
tastrophe n the history of the world,
but despite It's magnitude. some Of
its appalling force is lost in the con-
temptation of the financial showing

great promise of large crops of grain

are turning out new wealth more rap
idly than ever before, and IL the In

DON'T MAKE EXCUSES.
These, II Is Asserted, Have Kept
Back Many a Career.

Good excuses have kept back many
man from realizing prosperous
career. says Spare Moments. Once
you get the excuse-making habit
formed you might as we'll have n
ball and chain attached TO your neck
so far as your prospects for rising
TO the top are concerned.
There are two kinds OF excuses
which keep a clerk in the business
world occupying a clerks position
when he is capable thas It in HIM
to be something better II he only
would. The first class OF excuses are
the ones he makes TO himself These
are often as enervating. subtle and
death-dealing as the nasty cigarette
A clerk sees a piece OF work which
he knows ought to be done today
He knows that the best interests OF
the business require that this work
should not be put of until tomorrow
But he has not yet reached a point
where he realizes that his employers
interests are Identical with his own.
and perhaps he was out late last
night and feels lack of ambition
today. So he excuses himself from
doing the work on the ground that
the boss" didn't tell him to do II
today. After soothing his conscience
with this specious mental dope he
puts in his spare time reading about
the way Slobett knocked out Casey
in twenty-one rounds. Several days
later when the neglected work comes
under the eye OF the boss" our clerk
is asked why he did not do it. and
he then repeats his stereotyped ex-
cuse that he wasn't told" TO do It.
For such a one the gateway to sue
cess is always barred.
This brings us to the second kind
of excuse-those made to ones EN-
ployer. OF the two this latter kind
of excuse is the less injurious to the
clerks chance of advancement. When
he excuses himself from doing oh
viously important work. he instills
into his own mind a subtle mental
POioOIs hOh wal tSStDtt
that breeds lack of backbone, lack
of concentration, lack of continuity
and application. He weakens and in
capacitates himself far more when he
excuses himself to himself, because
he will then often allow his mind to
dwell on excuses 50 weak that he
would never dream of giving them
verbal utterance in the presence of
his employer.
And when he has once set the men
tai habit of excusing himself. he goes
on and on binding the letters which
Will forever hold him back from any
rise. 1t Is now only a short step to
finding good excuses for not doing
what he has been told to do Then
a little further along on the same
line 1t will be strange indeed If he
does not land himself on the boot
toe that elevates the incompetent and
deposits them outside in the cold
world.
