Every good act is charity Your
smiling in your brothers face is
charity; an exhortation of your fell
lowmen to virtuous deeds is equal to
almsgiving; your putting wanderer
on the right track is charity; your re-
moving stone aud thorns and other
distractions from the road is charity.
A man S true wealth hereafter is the
good he does IN this world to his fell
lowmen When he dies people will
say, What property has he left be-
hind hiln?" But the angels who ex-
anime him in the graed will ask,
What good deeds hast thou sent be

The n. O. Christian Advocate is to
have new editor with the new year.
Rev. Jno. w. Boswell, D. D., the
present able occupant of the chair is
to retire and Rev. z. A. Meek of the
North Mississippi Conference has
been chosen by the publishing COM
mittee as his successor. This relig-
ious weekly is the official organ of
three conferences Of Southern Metho-
dism: the Mississippi, the North
Mississippi, and the Louisiana. It's a
welcome and regular visitor to our
exchange table. Meek is said to be a
fully competent man for the place.
Boswell is forceful and veteran
writer but has grown weary of the

It's not the place of newspaper to
indulge too much in the Gliding
business, but it strikes the editor,
that the voters of Beat have given
us an opportunity to demonstrate
with them over their listlessness in
so important a matter as neglecting
to hold general election. These
Primaries do not legally elect any
body. They merely fix it so that we
can put a Democrat of our own
choosing INTO all the official births,
and it dees look like, after the law
makers were thoughtful enough to
construct law making it so easy for
US to fill the offices as we wish, that
we would not stop unit. the job of
electing our men is fully over. Party
loyalty and legal exaction both de-
mand attention to this even though
there are no contesting office seekers.
This is the case in our County, which
is Democratic to the core, and in
which no Independents, Socialists,
Populists or Republicans offer.

Amongst the number of depart

provided itself several weeks ago, was
one which it so happened that there
was lull in that line and we haven t
gotten to use until this week. This

that in good propriety, can advise

the rise in News stock. We tried
that foolishness once and it didn t
work in only one way, lie, to cut
down muchly our circulation. Coun-
try people can't be brought to value
the home weekly at treble the price
of that of the trebed size city
weekly issued from the boilsdown in
a city daily Office. We shall stick
to the old price of one dollar for
quite a while yet, and besides we
mean to begin early next year using
a higher quality. a whittier, and con-
sequently higher priced class of pa
per to print our sheet on, than we
have ever done before, in the face OF
the fact that we are now using a
grade several notches above the com.
mon run of Mississippi journals.

Mississippi Comment in Tuesdays
Mobile Register.
The Greene County Herald some
times gives a touch of nature to its
columns which makes the ex-country
boy who has wandered into artificial
surroundings feel like bursting loose
and getting back to the farm-life,
which looks so alluring at a distance.
This is a sample:
''Soon the steaming pans of the
molasses making outfits will be in
evidence on the farms of our section
boiling the sweet juice of the cane
into fine new homemade syrup.
This is a delightful time to the small
boy. A season that makes his spirits
jump up good many degrees. He
edges his way up to the juice barrel
and uses the cup about as long and
often as anybody, filling his paunch
TO distending proportions. Every
feature of the process is watched by
him with close attention from the
feeding of the stalks into the mill to
the Juggling of the freshly made sop.
This is splendid fall season on this
product. We believe that this years
yield of cane is going to reach a big
figure -

There seems to have been more or
less of a disposition to use the pres
ent money squeeze as a cudgel to
drive the Western and Southern
farmers into throwing their grain
and cotton on the market. AS trade
balances in our favor with Europe
are settled IN gold, of course the lar
ger our exports right now of grain
and cotton the quicker will we get
relief from that source. But the
cotton producers have not responded
with the spontaneity and cheerful
ness expected in certain quarters, for
the very potent reason to them that
the prices of cotton didn t suit. The
spinners and cotton bears have been
sitting down on prices, so to speak.
There are some things that Orgrni-
zation among the farmers cannot
effect. Yet we do not see why they
should not get out of debt and ware
house their cotton. Concentrated
action of that kind all along the line,
with full cribs and smokehouses,
would make the Southern farmer as
independent as hog on ice.

Religious and
Reform Notes

The Baptist Jackson, Miss.) Record.
We note that quite a number of
secular papers are making war upon
snuff. We agree most heartily with
them in all they say The snuff using
habit is certainly filthy, unhealthful
and expensive. 1t indicates sad lack
of culture refinement and self-denial.
Every argument, however, which
these papers have adduced against
this habit can be used against the use
of tobacco in any form. The habit is
essentially filthy, expensive, injuri-
Gus to most users and offensive to
many thousands who do not use it.
Is is sound principle in moral phil
osophy that no personal qualification
should be INDUCED in when such in
diligence would infringe upon the
rights of others. 1t is ones moral
right not to be smoked to sickness
by another purely and solely for the
personal qualification of the other.
Let US be gentlemen and gentlewo-
men, abstaining from all filthiness of
the flesh.
