Fresf, Eggs.

Modern Grocer: The day Of safely
marketing rotten eggs and eggs about
ready to be Matched is over, and both
farmers and merchants have an ample
reason for being exceedingly careful
Of the hen fruit they dispose Of, ~
otherwise the consequences may be ex-
ceedingly unpleasant A government
inspector recently hung around q store
IN an Iowa town, and when farmer
brought in some eggs he said he
wanted some fresh eggs and took the
lot. Several Of them proved to be
rotten and the farmer was assessed
$3.50 by Uncle Sam under the new
pure food law. If the merchant had
taken the eggs and disposed Of them to
bis customers he would have been
liable to the same fine.

President Roosevelt's advocacy Of

President Roosevelt's advocacy Of
the drastic measure for controlling
Trusts by requiring them to take out
federal charters, which could be
revoked at the will, practically Of
the Presidents, would no doubt work
we'll if honestly carried out, but
thinking people believe that the
present laws against trusts are ample
if honestly executed, with peni-
Tertiary sentence added, as mere
fines do not deter men who would not
feel the loss of a few of the many
dollars wrongfully made. Besides it
looks as if our strenuous president is
everlastingly at it to oblitelate states
rights and make every thiDg national,
with the chief exclusive as sole
ruler, a position he is clearly seeking
for third term, and it will be we'll
for the country for him to be de-
feated, as we'll as to not give further
power to federal courts

Governor Elect Noel favors the es-
tablishing of q Board Of Pardons. The
idea is good one. II will relieve
the chief execu tive Of much that is
unpleasant. and where several have
the deciding Of whether the sentence
melted out to the unfortunate, that
was given by competent court
which tried the case, or whether
after listening to the appeals OF the
prisoners friends and relatives, that
which he should suffer for his crime
is to be forgiven him; justice and not
sentiment will oftener decide the
question. There are cases, no doubt,
but very rare, where an innocent
party is convicted; others where
possibly sentences are too severe, but
as rule, convicts should serve their
time, less that which the law gives
them for good behavior. And while
on convict legislation the UBIQUITOUS
system of 4naking trustees should be
abolished. 1t is wrong in principle,
for if convicted and sentenced they
should be given no special privileges !.

Forty per cent. of the saw mills in
the pine sections have shut down
owing to scarcity of cars to ship in
and money to run on. Owing to large
stocks on hand production will be
still further decreased until it reaches
rs per cent. Of usual output. While
prices of lumber were good. mill men
went crazy and paid extravigant prices
for common labor, with the result
that an idle, viciouS population of
negroes were brought into the piney
woods Of this state and now that
wages have been cut, or mills closed
down, these negroes refuse to work
for less than former wages. are flock
ing to the towns, with stealing as
their only means of living. The
strict application Of the vagrancy
laws should be vigorously given them
in every case.

O. B. Boyett and others of
Arkansas were convicted in the
federal court of that state of peonage
in that they were guilty of intlmi
dating negroes. because they were
negroes and fined $1,000 each and to
serve one year in prison. The
offense was that Boyett and others had
conspired to drive the negroes from
their work at saw mills. The su-
preme court held that merely because
they were negroes that they had no
more rights than other people, and
that they must seek state courts in
such matters. The federal court has
always been the negroes hope Of
him from any harm for his
misdeeds and also as an instrument to
wreak his vengeance on some white
man for q fancied wrong. This
recent decision will take cuffy down
8 notch or two.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM; OR,
PROBLEM OF THE NEGRO.
THE BRANDON NEWS.

There are many good negroes in the
South-we do not mean many negroes
that are good, but we mean what we
say, good negroes such should
have the protection and encourage
ment and sympathy of the white peo-
pie, and all their rights should be
guarded. Such negroes do not own
pistols or Winchester rifles, nor are
they rambling over the country with
out visible means of support or en-
ployment. But there. are many other
negroes who are vicious, land de-
PRAYED, and brutal and criminal, who
have no respect for the laws Of God or
man indeed they defy the laws of
God and man; and they care nothing
for human rights or blood or life; nor
for character or sex.
No statute law can govern this lat
ter named class of negroes They are
brutes and nothing short Of brute
force can govern them or deter them

The Official Cats.

1t is a curious fact that the govern
ment of the United States maintains
and provides for numerous cats The
army has its regular corps of them,
kept at the commissary depots Of the
great cities, and each draws regular
pay equal to eighteen dollars and
twenty five cents year.
It is customary for the officer in
charge of each depot to submit to the
war department request for an
allowance for so many cats, and the
regulations provide that meat shall
be purchased for them at price not
greater than five cents pound, t.
which steady quantity of cannt d
mild is added for variety Experi
ment has shown that no matter
how excellent q hunter Cat may be,
nor how ABUNDANT the mice, no cat
will thrive properly on diet of the
unmitigated mouse; nor does it
neglect It's duties when other food is
provided
Bids for the cats meat ale regular
~ posted, calling for fresh beef
suitable for feeding cats, bone to be
excluded, to be delivered at the con.
tractors place of business on such
days as may be designated, and in
such quantities as may be required. =
More than 400 cats are in the employ
Of the postoffice department, dis
tributed among about fifty of the
largest offices. The New York city
Office expends some sixty dollars an.
nually in cats meat.
Most of the other large government
buildings are supplied with cats. Al
the immense cold storage depot estab'
lished year ago at Manila, cats
were found to be necessary, and sc
tabbies were sent from the famous
cold storage company, that have de-
veloped special qualifications for en-
during extreme colo. The colo
storage cats are short tailed, chubby
with long and heavy fur, and thell
eyebrows and whiskers are extraordi
narily long and stroLg. 1t is sale
that they do not thrive when trans
ferred to an ordinary temperature.

Brandon and Rankin county people
literally patronized the Fair at Jack
son, which was fairly entitled to
their support. Each succeeding year
finds it larger, with better exhibits,
moro substantial buildings and with
larger attendance. The Agricultural
College sent. down splendid jack, a
stylish, imported Hackney stallion, a
thoroughbred stallion, fancy lot Of
red cattle and q magnificent display
Of college products. A gentleman
from Crystal Springs was justly given
the prize for field and garden pro-
ducts from one farm. Hattiesburg and
Perry county in their display clearly
proved that the piney woods section

we are not powerless. The whito
men in every neiRhborhood in the
state can organize and serve notice on
the negroes of the neighborhood to dis
pose of any pistols or Winchesters
they have, at once, and the negroes
can easily be convinced that it means
obedience to the notice; and then not
permit any transient negro to pass
through with pistol or Winchester,
or other dangerous weapon. There
would then be no assassination OF
white men, nor dissertation Of white
women, by negroes; nor lynching of
negroes because there will not be any
crimes to provoke lynchings.

The Goodyear system would not
build railroad just from Jackson to
New Orleans, without a northern
connection. The Herrick Syndicate
would not build road from jackson
up Pearl River valley without some
way provided for to reach deep water.
SO the only reasonable conclusion is
that one road will be continuation
of the other, in fact only one road
The business of as large place as
jackson now is and will be, makes it
imperative that q road building
north and south must 60 through Jack
son or have a feeder running from
the main line into it; or have the
road go through Jackson and branch
off below Jackson, say at Terry or
further down, come by Florence and
Brandon and intersect the other line
in the northern part Of this county.
1t would materially shorten the
distance on through business and
would traverse q fine farming section
with much good timbered land.
Florence is a splendid trading point
and would no doubt do what she
could to get the road. Her cotton
shipments are enough to be considered
quite an item in railroad receipts. AS
to Brandon which needs relief from
hauling 5000. bales of cotton annually
~ miles to the depot and getting up
hill the freight shipped in here to
handle that amount of cotton can be
counted on for all that could be
reasonably expected from COM
munity which is suffering every day
for better communication with the
trade centers. The News believes
that the right Of way would be given
and a bonus besides. The money
stringency just now is putting a
quietus on nearly everything, but
that will be over some time, and the
urgency for betterment of our ship
ping facilities will be just as great
The road would make no mistake in
coming through as suggested above
and Brandon could afford to be liberal
to get it.

Some people wonder why he failed.
He lost all he had and his family were
penniless. People were sorry for
them and they were sorry for them
selves, but yet it did no good. He
went into business without the pro-
per preparation. His education was
not practical, neither did he under
stand modern business methods. The
other fellow got his money, and he
came down face to face with disaster.
1t is better to be prepared. II you

here you can learn the modern ways
of doing business and thus save both

ct. MARiEs. WISE MOVE.

ST. MARES has entered the
county seat contest, thus giving
the situation a three-cornered
phase. This is not a surprise, as
it has been known for long
time that st. Mares had county
seat aspirations, and it's formal
entrance into the race at this
time gives the people OF the
southern end OF the county a
goal for the attainmento OF which
they can unitedly and consist
emily labor. The county seat
fight has been precipitated by
C9ur d'Alene, but there is no
good reason why st. Maries
should help Ceur d'Alene. BY
looking out sharply for their
own future interests the south
enders may expect some day to
have a county and county seat
OF their own right at home. TO
do this they cannot afford to
work for C9ur d'Alene: Ceur
dPAlene's defeat will mean an
other county division and give
the south end time to develop so
as to handle the situation to
suit itself; if Ceur d'Alene wins,
st. Maries' opportunity is gone
and her chances for the future
will be removed probably for
ever, as CEur d'Alene would then
have what she wants-the coun-
ty seat business Of the rich and
populOus south end-and would
never consent to it's separation
and the establishment of anoth-
er county. st. Maries' present
move is a logical and wise one
for her.
