For Better Prices.

A meeting Of the business men Of
the community of Canton, was held
to consider the cotton seed question
It was reported that the Canton Oil
Mill was paying only $14 per ton for
seed, while in other towns. Of the
state the mills were paying from sic
to 500 a ton. With this report be-
fore them, the body organized and re-
solved to put buyer in the local
market to compete with the oil mill.
Seed will be bought from the wagons
and stored until arrangements can be
made with purchasers who will pay
the highest price for it.
A company for the manufacture OF
boxes, crates, etc., for the use OF fruit
and truck shippers is being organ-
lied at Centerville and the charter
will be published ir q short time.
This is correct move OH the part OF
the enterprising citizens Of that COM
munity. Centeryille is fast becoming
a trucking center and there is every
reason why the crates for handling
it should not be made at home. This
spirit of doing things ourselves and
not dividing profits with outsiders
is fast growing in Mississippi and
means a great deal in the way of
future prosperity.

ITEMS ON THE WING.

At this stage of the game if the Ne
gro would only unite and, as our friend
Judge Hewlett says. move against the
common foe, how much better his con-
dition be in this country One of the
main reasons the white man fights the
Negro is that he knows that the Negro
fights himself. In the churches, in Ma
sonry, Odd Fellowship, and other Sc
cret and beneficial orders. In many
cases these fights are not made by the
ignorant brother, but the educated gen.
tleman IS the man who does the act.
If Fred. Douglass were living, we
would not hear so much about the Ne

hand would be out in the field, lecturing

t.....- -oo?i,,ij.n CRUSADE
GREAT DEMAND FOR CURE BY
CHINESE OF MALAY.
Plant Discovered Which Is a Specific
For Smoking Habit-Free Dispen
saries Established-Thou-
sands Cured.

Washington.-The anti-opium move
ment in Malay, says a Penang cores
pOndent. can only be described as
colossal. So rapidly has it spread
and so popular mas il become that it
reminds one more of a Welsh revival
than a movement undertaken by the
stolid Chinese.
When the news of the movement
first came from China a few enthusl-
asts took up the matter in Singapore
and opened a free hospital for the
cure of smokers, but very little prog
ess was made A few weeks ago,
however, a Well-tO-do Chinaman in
Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Selan-
gOr, received from China specimens
of a plant which was said to be a
cure for the opium habit. A short
search revealed the fact that the plant
grew freely in SelangOr in a wild
state, and in a very short time a
quantity was obtained and active op-
eratiOns commenced.
The leaves of the plant, which ap-
to gambler are exposed to the sun for
a day, then chopped fine and roasted
after which an infusion is made and
the specific is ready for use. The
first man experimental upon was a
coOlie employed by a European, and,
although he was confirmed opium
smoker, he was pronounced cured in
a week.
Now an anti-opium society has been
formed in Kuala Lumpur, and the
specific is distributed free, while so
great has become the demand for the
that those who gather the leaves in
the jungle demand SO per picul
(133 1-3 pounds, for them. The dis
pensaries established for the distribu-
ton of the specific are hard pushed
to keep up with the demand, the
applicants in Kuala Lumpur alone
numbering over 1000 daily.
The anti-opiumists say they have
cured in the few short weeks since
the plant was discovered over $4,000
people in the Kuala Lumpur district
alone, and the statement appears to be
cOrroborated by the fact, which is
vouched for by partner in the opium
farm, who is naturally deeply inter
ested in the matter. that the receipts
of. the opium shops in and around
Kuala Lumpur have fallen off by two
thirds, while several shops have had
to close for lack of custom.
The federated Malay states will not

opium habit be entirely stamped out,
for they do not depend upon opium to

but in the Straits Settlements matters
will be very different, for the opium
farm is the principal source OF reye-
| nue., and although the farmers have
not yet been affected like the Cpiam
dealers in SelangOr. they are distinct

CARNIVAL OF INDOOR SPORTS.

held in True Reformers' Hall, Friday
evening, February 8, and was a success
both socially and financially. The per

many occasions, especially in the form
ing of the pyramid. The next was the
