Telling the News.

A church at OwensboTo, KY. passed
resolutions censuring the newspapers
of that town because they did not pub
lish the fact that well-known citizen
died of delrium tremens.
1t is little unusual to censure pa
pers for not telling all they know.
This Kentucky case is particularly in
teresting because a Christian church
censured newspapers for doing kind
ly and charitable act in publishing the
death notice of a citizen. The man
was drunkard and died of whiskey.
The newspapers told of the death and
said nothing Of the whiskey. That
was kindness.
Yet, a Christian church actually
passed an m-Christian resolution cen
surfing the papers because they refused
to wound, unnecessarily, the women
and kindred of the drunkard.
Newspapers do that kind of charity
every day. They protect thousands of
homes, thousands Of people. General
ly, the people protected never know it.
AS IN this Owensboro case, the papers
simply leave out many of the unpeas-
ant things that need not be told. They
do not willingly wound a wife or sis
ter, or daughter, or mother. In the
case quoted the papers were right. -

Bad Outlook for Cotton.

The following report of the condition
of the weather and crops, taken from
the Clarion Ledger, states the condi-
tion that prevails throughout the entire
state, if not the entire cotton belt
1.-THE outlook for cotton is the worst
known for many years, and judging by
appearances there will be a cotton
famine in this country, and cotton is
likely to go to fifteen cents per pound
The crop is in deplorable condition
The stands are poor, the cotton weed
is overrun with grass, and no opportu-
nifty is allowed for cleaning out the
crops, on account of the continued and
incessant rains. Grass is growing rank
in the fields and choking out the small
cotton that is trying to grow.
In many sections replanting is neces-
sary, but there is no chance to do the
work, because of the rains, which seem
general all over the country. The
weather has been most provoking in
character, and in every way disappOnt-
ing few days Of sunshine, followed
by days of rain and cold snaps, all Of
which are bad for cotton.
Unless the weather breaks in a few
days the time will be too far spent to
replant, or save the crop by clearing it
of grass

There are yet some voters in this
county who are not registered, and
some of them old voters, who have
been marked off the poll books by the

election in 1903. There is also an idea
out so am told, that will come

Here's how a few came-out.
M. A, Thomas, painter, Lynchburg,

then have used nothing else.
C. B. Edwards, Raleigh, N. c, had
used 30 gallons paste painton his house,
and bought 30 gallons Devoe; A. E.
Glenn, his painter, said it wouldn't be
enough. Had 16 gallons left.
Mayor W. w. Carroll, Monticello,
Florida, writes: Painter estimated 35
gallons Devoe for my house; took 20
gallons Devoe.
Gilmore & Davis Co., contractors and
painters Tallahassee, Florida, say
gallons Of Devoe spreads as far as of
any other paint they know, and covers
better.
S. A. Bullard, painter, Sanford,
Florida, estimated 50 gallons for Odd

in the circuit courts. On behalf of the

An Important Ruling.

Over in Newton county George Bell
sued Sim Harrison for two hogs that
he had taken up under the provisions
Of the stock law, held the required
eight days, and then killed Harrison
did not deny that he killed the hogs,
and when Bellsued for the value uf the
hogs, Harrison came back at him with
the legal charge Of $3.50 for taking up
and feeding the hogs the eight days.
The testimony adduced on the trial
went to prove that the hogs were not
worth the $3.50 The jury gave YER
diet in favor Of Harrison, holding that
one who takes up live stock in stock
law district may kill them when his
claim amounts to as much as the stock
is worth, and not to be held liable. =

t..t1l-
The question which these figures will
bring to many thoughtful men is "How
much of this vast increase of wealth
have the true heirs of the land, the
Southern people, gathered to them
selves, and how much have they allowed
strangers to the soil to appropriated"
Have our people made the most of our
sections resources, or has our country
been exploited by northern capital and
northern aggressiveness?
We have no fault to find with North
erners who put northern money and
northern brains and energy into Mis-
sissippi's fields of industry They are
to be welcomed here. But would it not
be better if our own people were more
numerously represented among the
Captains of Industry? Have we not
allowed others to supply what we had
in plenty-penetration to see our great
opportunities, the progressive energy
to overcome the inertia of an old anC
fixed economic regime, and the faith tC
take the chances? And Of the tremen.
dous reward could not our own people
have reaped a larger and juster share
of the harvest?
In an age Of high development, VIZ
of this section of Mississippi live in ;
lard for the most part yet undis
poiled of its virgin opportunities, 1t
undeveloped resources are still in ma
tive hands, and it remains to be seel
whether we ourselves shall develop
them or continue to raise cotton ant
look on while others coin our potentia
wealth into current specie of the land.
