4 GOOD RAISE.

The rural route carriers Of this
great and glorious country have
received a very substantial in
crease in pay. Of course it will
not go into effect until July 1st,
but it is none the less appreciated.
The present pay is 500 per year,
and the increase brings it up to
5000 per year. The rural route
carriers have been the poorest
paid class of government employ
es, considering the work they
have to do, and the expenses they
have to meet.

She was close to, him-her hair
touched his cheek as she bent toward
him. Dickey was ahaking as with
violent ague.
When Dickey escaped to his own
room at last. and had put bolt and bar
between himself and too-hilarious
world, he shed tears Of bitter repent
ance. II did not occur TO him that
there was anything TO do but stand by
the bargain he had made The queen
OF the house party was his--alas. his
fatal attractiveness had been his ruin.
for he had been for two long weeks
busily constructing q future for HIM

which moved little girl called Fan.
And Fan was an helress. II was so
easy 10 love Fan. And she would
never forgive him. She would not
even walt for him until death or some
unforeseen calamity should set him
free. Perhaps she would even marry
the hated Rembert. the too-eloquent
Rembert. who had had a hand In his
undolng!
For some weary days thereafter
Dickey was led about and shown on
by his fiancee. manfully trying TO look
as little miserable n possible. even In
a dim way TO make love. That he did
II badly he knew. and II did not help
him in the least to see her pause and
look at him with interest at such
times. II was n telegram that broke
the spell and proved the signal Tor the
breaklng.up OF the house party. Miss
Garner read II at the breakfast table,
and twisted the yellow slip thought
fully.
TOO bad" she said. with regret. Il
suppose | must go. It's my lawyer,
you know. How tiresome! Dickey,
will you drive me down to catch the
twelve.thirty train"
There were EXPLANATIONS OF sorrow
on all sides, and one cried out. "Oh,
well. II you are going, ] think shall
leave In the morning"
In q few moments Mrs. Arnaud knew
that her house party would be- fitting
before another day had closed, but she
smiled. 1t had been u great success.
Dickey's nerves thrilled a little as
he gathered up the relns. They were
all crowded around her and could not
let her go. How popular she was,
after all-and how stunning! At least

The primary law in principal is
just and right and for one we are op-
posed to any change which will effect
the main features of the law, the op-
portunity of the voters to register
their choice of public officials as
of right suggests. But there are
some things about it which call for
alteration. One of those we called
attention to some days ago, in effect,
that provision should be made for
the registrar when an elector calls
upon him to be registered as a
qualified voter to ask of, and record
the answer given, the politics Of the
applicant and thus do away with the
unpleasant task of challeging voters.
It should be fIrther provided that the
voter cannot change his politics
within four months of the election at
which he desires to vote. Another
important change. and which too, has

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 13, 1907.
Editor Brandon News-I notice an
article in this weeks News in ref
erence to the action of the Farmers
Union in endeavoring to buy direct
from the wholesalers. wish to com
mend the Farmers of Mississippi in
launching such an organization, in
fact it should have been done years
ago, but I do not agree with them in
this last venture.
You are correct in your surmise.
"that this matter will have con-
sideration at the convention of the
Mississippi Retail Merchants, at
Vicksburg.' In my address, before
that body, shall condemn in the
strongest terms this action of the
Farmers Union not from selfish
standpoint, but from the standpoint
OF the farmer. Undoubtedly the
farmers have not considered fully the
position in which they will be placed
by this action for the following
reasons: The retailers are all in
terested in the welfare Of his i'm
mediate section of the state, and til 6
welfare of a section of the state can
not be promoted by the farmers of
said section in giving their business
to the wholesalers in the cities. Our
stores carry full and complete line
Of the necessities of life and are sold
at very moderate profit. I believe
the farmers around Brandon can buy
merchandise cheaper there than by
buying from the wholesalers in Jack
son and paying the freight.
The property values around Bran
don. or any other town.. are main
tanned, to certain extent, by the
business men of that place.
Every time the farmer buys goods
from the wholesalers, who pay no
county tax in their county, who de-
rays no expense at all for the welfare
(of his community, weakening blow
has been dealt and an indirect effort
made to injure the retailers, who
have been their neighbor, friend, and
helper at all times of need. To buy
direct from the wholesalers would
eventually ruin the retailer by run
ningrthem out of business. Ii would
destroy all our small towns and an
nihilates our local markets Just
think Of Mississippi devoid Of towns |!
Where would the farmer go to sell
his producea The farmer should re-
member that every time he buys
goods out Of his own county, he not
only weakens his friend, the retailer,
but in doing so he weakens the value
of his own possessions, it matters not
what these possessions may be.
The farmer, it has been sasd is the
backbone of the country He is in
deed an honorable calling; first in
supplying your necessities. It is the
"mother and nurse of all our arts;''
it creates and maintains manu-
factures. 1t animates every species
of industry, and opens to nations the
surest channels Of opulence An in
dustry vital to maintainance and mp
building of our land should not in
anyway handicap itself. Respectfully.
