To our way of thinking Charles
Scott is prominently the best fitted
man for next governor of Mississippi,
and possesses exactly those qualities
needed to give the state a splendid
business administration, man who
enjoys that statesmanlike equipoise
to safely guide the old ship of state
past all shoals and through the bill
lows of another quadreunium. This
is our opinion, you are entitled to
yours. Greene ounty Herald.
The above editorial places another
able journal in the Scott column. It's
support is quite a compliment to Mr..
Scott. The editor of The Herald is
a conservative man, man who be-
lieves in the maxim of Davy Crockett,
'Be sure you are right and then go
ahead" During the past year he has
watched the course of the various
candidates with interest, treating
them all impartially, reserying his
decision as to his choice for governor
until he had heard each and all dis
cuss the issues of the campaign. He
was then in a position to make an in
telligent choice, and naturally enough
he will support Charles Scott for the.
exalted Office. We are glad to vel
come The Herald into the ranks of
those who believe that the state
needs a business rather than a polit-
ical administration, that an agricult-
ural people need farmer governor,
that progress means prosperity, and
thae the people of all sections of the
commonwealth should receive the
same consideration and justice. Boil

Can I Become a Millionaire.

Yes you can become millionaire by
eating the bread of carefulness, ris-
ing early and lying down late; getting
and keeping, and caring little or
nothing about other mems wants,
sufferings or disappointments, and
not minding or caring that your
great wealth may involve the poverty
of many others. You must never
give away money except for a mate
rial equivalent. nor go meandering
about nature nor spend your time
enjoying air. earth, sky and water;
for there is no money in it. You
must not distract your thought from
the great purpose of your life with
the charms Of art and literature, nor
let philosophy or religion engross you
during this secular period, or even
allow your wife and children to oc-
cupy much of your valuable time.
You must abandon all other ambi-
tions or purposes, and finally you
must be prepared to sacrifice ease
and all fanciful notions you may have
about tastes, Injuries and enjoy
ments, during most, if not all of
your natural life. Now if you think
the game is worth the candle you can
die rich-some of you can.

Good Books Received.

WHAT A YOUNG WOMAN
OUGHT TO KNOW By Mrs
Mary Wood-Allen, M. D. Vir Pub
fishing Co., Philadelphia. Price
81, net.
No one who reads this admirable
book can be surprised that so many
eminent men and women have given
their hearty concentrations and per-
sonal influence to bring the series oil
which this book is one to the general
attention of the public. To this Sell
and Sex Series, the books to the BOYS
and men are written by Sylvanus
Stall, D. d., and those to the girls
and women by Mrs. Mary Wood
Allen, NJ. ID. These writings merit
all that has been said in their praise
by the educational, medical, religious
and secular press and deserve a place
in every home.
This book, addressed to young
women, is divided into three parts:
The value of the body and its hygiene,
the special physiology and laws of
maturity, and the third wisely and
judiciously treats of love, engage
ment and marriage. The author
brings to her task the training of q
physician, the sympathies of moth
ed and the tact of wise and iudic-
ious writer We should be glad If
every young woman in America might
read this book and profit by it. 1t
will equip young women to meet the
dangers and difficulties which lie be-
fore them in untried experiences,
make them intelligent and receptive
to LIES deeper meanings and higher
possibilities. 1t is worthy compan-
ion volume to DR.. Stalls book.

fair, and good all the rest of the world
must look to him, and how cheerless.
and dusty, and dreary must his own
path appear. Why even one lone,
isolated act of meanness is enough to
scatter crumbs in the bed of the av
erage ordinary man, and what must
be the feelings of d man whose Lille is
given up to mean acts! When there
is so much suffering, and heartache,
and misery in the world anyhow, why
should you add one pound of wicked
ness or sadness to the general burden?
Suffer injustice thousand times
rather than commit it once.

The newspaper that in one breath
declares itself a supporter of moral
issues and in the other lauds the
good citizenship of brewers and wills
key sellers is, to say the least, a
doubtful quantity We know some
ch,-Epworth Era. Sorry to sup
plement your remarks by saying,
Brother, DuBose, that we have OBJ
served some preachers, who are like
the class of newspaper men you re-
fer to. In the piping times of polit-
ical peace, they decry against the
whlskey element in politics, but when
a battle of the ballot gets on, we see
them supporting men whose skirts
are not clear of some imputation in
that direction. This is not intended
as blow at the cloth as a whole, but
a slap at number.

BY careful estimate it is shown that
fully one-half of the counties OF the
states that lie south of the Mason and
Dixon Line are prohibition counties.
Best of all, in most of them it is pro-
hibition that really prohibits. Miss
issippi takes the lead. In ninety per
cent of her territory liquor has been
voted out, and the unvarying vigi-
lance of her people keeps it so. To
the church, to those fervent, faithful
ones who have taken such firm stand
against the whisl1ey evil, who have
worked so heroically for temperance
reform, much Of this noble record is
due. The two foremost temperance
workers of Mississippi are our own
Bishop Charles B. Galloway and Dir.
w. [. Lowry, of the Baptist Church
Each has proven Trojan in the
cause; and each, let it be known, has
received the staunch backing of his
denomination. All but five of the
seyenty-seven counties of Mississippi
are prohibition counties. In all the
others high license prevails, 1t costs
one thousand dollars a year tax to
open saloon in some, and in others
one thousand five hundred dollars.
In Jackson, the capital and home of
Bishop Galloway, not a saloon is to
be found. It's citizens declare that
the prohibition laws are rigidly en-
forced, and that it is impossible for
one desiring to do SO to get a drink of
liquor unless he receives it IN some
club or private house.
The prohibitionists of Mississippi
have been for some time using every
effort to get state temperance law.
1t is believed they will shortly sue
ced, despite the hard and persistent
fight of the saloon men to block their
efforts. Thousands of dollars have
been paid out by the whiskey ring in
the employment of the foremost legal
talent in the fight against the prohi-
oltionests. Despite the frantic effort
Of the saloon men, the temperance
sentiment grows steadily.-A. NJ.

God bless the man who first invent
ed checkers! The harmless, mildly
interesting game of the cross-road
store and village loofers bench. It's
popularity is perennial. The soft
pine and the energy necessary to
whittle the wood into fine shavings,
saved by checkers in the state of
Mississippi alone, would be sufficient
to build a house as big as Noah's ark
every summer. The game is taking
the place of base ball and poker in
Ruleville this season, just as it is able
to take the place of many as good a
sport and amusement when the play
ers of the more strenuous games be-
came physically or pecuniarily dis
abled, and having tried it, we
unhesitatingly recommend checkers
to persons so situated -Ruleville Vel

1t may be that nature is having

WIRTS ADOPT
ELLEN FORWOOD
Gave New Name TO Child
Whose Mother Was
Deserted

Pretty 9-year-old Ellen Forwood,
one Of the three minor children Of Mrs.
Hattie Forwood, who were turned over
to the care Of the Home for Friendless
and Destitute Children after their
father had left the mother and little
family, has found another good home
with Mr. and Mrs. Robert ]. Writ,
they having adopted Ellen to-day and
bestowed upon her their name. The
certificate Of adoption has been signed
by Judge Spruance, and little Ellen is
now serving her new parents on their
Brandywine hundred farm.
The story Of the desertion by Mrs.
Forwood Of her youngest baby shocked
the city several months ago. She left
the infant TO die in Brandywine Park
because she could not provide for 1t,
and after the identity Of the child had
been established, Mrs. Forwood told the
authorities she had been driven to de-
sert the child because her husband had
deserted her. Her story brought her
much sympathy, and she was given her
liberty. She is still in the city, work.
ing as best she can 10 support herself.

FEW PEACHES
In THE MARKET
There May be a Little Late
Fruit From Down the
Peninsula

So far there has been no shipments
from the peninsula Of Delaware peaches,
the early crop having been destroyed by
cold weather and the June drop while the
prospects for the late or August crop
are slim.
1t is estimated that the August crop
which consists chiefly Of Elbertas will
not reach over twenty per cent. OF the
usual product and they will not be in the
markets until late in the season. But
few peaches have arrived in the local
markets so iar and they are from Georgia.

Georgia peaches are commanding Sib a

from down the State show that the Keif-
fer pear crop is failure and that there
will be few il any shipments. Most of
this species of pear is shipped to districts
throughout the country IN which foreign
labor is employed largely as the fruit is
a popular diet with foreigners, especially
the Italians.
The strawberry crop this year has been
remarkably fine as there has been shipped
by the Pennsylvania railroad from poin' s
in the peninsula 100000 quarts this sea-
