The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1907-09-12

The Cotton Association and the
Farmers Union in Texas have COM
bined for the purpose of organizing
central clearing house from which
accurate quotations on spot cotton are
to be sent out daily. This move was
made necessary by the action Of cot
ton spectators and wire houses that
were planning to withhold from these
organizations all reports to the price
of the spot article. When these two
powerful organizations combine for a
common cause, as in the case stated,
there wilf be results of gratifying
nature for the agricultural masses
of our country.

S. P. Oliver, Of Lincoln county, Is
endeavoring to organize an associa-
tion Of swine breeders for the -pur-
pose as stated of introducing the best
breed of hogs procurable and by get
ting sufficient number of persons
interested who will engage In the
raising of hogs, they will, by buying
their foundation stock in numbers,
be able to get them on better terms.
Mr.. Oliver has begun commendable
work and should have no trouble in
enlisting the cooperation Of suffi-
cient number Of good people to make
his plan feasible. He is the pioneer
in movement that will eventually
extend to all parts Of our great state.

The first bales are pretty well all
in now and the state will settle down
to the serious business of handling q
crop that should bring 100000, 900
to its pockets. The crop in Missis-
sippi is undoubtedly an average one,
if nothing of serious nature befalls
it later. With the price at what it
should be, the seed crop bringing $18
to $40 per ton, Mississippi should
reap within the next few months a
harvest of dollars fully up to the
big figures named above. There are
undoubtedly good times ahead for this
fall if all goes well, and with the
splendid organizations of farmers
putting up stiff fight for their rights,
it will likely go off all right. Be faith
full to yourselves and your families
by adhering to the pledges made and
the force of organization will be felt
all over the world. 1t is the only sal
vation for the agricultural masses.
Port Gibson has some figures on the
sale and use of labor saving machin-
cry that will interest the man who
desires to see Mississippi take her
place in the front rank Of progressive
and prosperous states. During the
year 1905 only seven riding farm
tools were sold by the merchants OF
that town, while the present year to
September /, shows that thirty-eight
implements Of this character were
disposed of. In 1906, fifty-one junior
planters were disposed Of and this
year shows a total Of 100. The people
of Claiborne county are solving the
labor problem in sensible manner.
improvements will go a long way to-
ward relieving the planters Of this
vexed question, and the ccmmunity
that uses the best to be hss, will show
ohers how it is to be done.

on the threshold, as to Arthur Young

thedral in France that can equal it in
wealth, in extravaganza, in gorgeous
ness of ornament The facade of Notre
Dame of Paris, while something like ii
in general design, is of Puritan sim
plicity beside the facade of Notre
Dame Of Reims. No other west doors
are more deeply recessed, more richly
charged with sculpture, row upon row,
tier upon tier, some statues being as
unexpectedly Greek in character as
others are Gothic. No other sculptures
are on so large and imposing a scale.
No other gables over the doors soar
upward in such high, acute angles. No
other show such an ENHANCEMENT of
figures and traceries. And the great,
tall windows above and the rose be-
tween are so beset with ornament that
hardly an inch of bare stone remains
about them. In the gallery of kings
the statues stand under carven cano-
pies, intricate, delicate, lacelike In their
elaboration. The tall central gable,
fretted and flamboyant, reaches up still
higher, and on each side of 1T the tow

The transepts are only new spaces for

Our Dirty Ancestors.

The daily morning bath was by no
means popular with our ancestors in
the good old days, for soap is really
quite new factor In the worlds life.
Most of our ancestors were very dirty
and dissembled the fact by the use of
sitting perfumes. Washing ones hands,
which was only done by the very best
people, meant dipping the fingers in
rosewater and drying them on a nap
kin. Even the Romans of the time of
the decline" who were probably the
cleanest as a community, simply bath
ed in water and rubbed themselves
with oil. 1t sounds nasty to us, but
then, so does, for example, Chinese
music, which millions of orientals
think elightful.-London Answers.

Deed of a Gallant Nobody.

was supreme moment during the bat
tie of Waterloo when the Duke Of
Wellington was left absolutely alone,
and that not when he was running the
risk of capture by sailing through the
enemy's lines. 1t simply meant that
every galloper had gone his way, each
with his message. At this moment
stranger rode up to the duke and quiet
ly asked, Can l be of any use sir2''

the note and galloped away with 1t
through the thick Of the fight. He de-
liyered it, but what happened to him
no man knows. The duke always de-
clared that to be one of the most gal-
liant deeds that had ever come under

women. The freshness, the charm, the

reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak

riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek

A MYSTERY OF THE SEA.
The Puzzling 5eeswax of the Beaches

The Puzzling 5eeswax of the Beaches
of Oregon.
OF all the secrets held by the fiotsam
and ietsam of many years none is
stranger than that of the beeswax Of
the Oregon beaches. Long before the
white man came to the great north
west by ship or prairie schooner YES
sells from the orient had skirted the
coast. Bits of wreckage have told the
story Of Chinese iunks gone to pieces
on the shore, but the most curious evil
dence of this eastern traffic has been
found on the Oregon coast south Of
the Columbia river. Mr.. Clarke gives
an account OF this treasure trove in his
pioneer Days"
When Lewis and Clark made their
famous expedition they learned that
the native Indians of Oregon had for
many years found Jumps of beeswax
on the sandy shores.
Beeswax is practically indestructible
in water. but these pieces had pounded
In the surf until they were black and
battered almost beyond recognition.
In 1914 one Henry, engaged in the
fur trade, wrote an account of finding
masses of this wax The pieces were
scattered over a wide stretch of coast
and were now covered now uncovered
by the blowing sand Some of the
Jumps were softened into all shapes
and sizes by the heat of the sun and
bleached nearly white. Others were
square and stamped with strange char
acters
In 1895 Mr. Howell, walking on the
beach, saw something exposed In the
sand. 1t proved to be the corner of
some large squares of beeswax weigh
Ing several tons. Many smaller blocks
were also found, all bearing the stamp
ed letters II Fl 81 Besides the SQUARES
of wax, quantities of large candles
were discovered. In looking up the
matter 1t was learned that as far hack
as records ran these tapers had been
found with the wax on tie shore.
OF course the explanation may be
that some oriental ship bearing church
applies for a mission farther south
went to pieces on the Oregon coast
many. many years ago, but what
would a ship bound for Mexico or
South America be doing so far north.

The Warmth Of a Snow House,

room enough to stretch his legs well.
With our sleeping bags they were en-

claimed by the natives that when the

is, however, more comfortable than one
