The great Mississippi cotton crop is
moving. The first bale this year was
raised by J. c. Lindsey of Holmes eoun-
ty and sold upon the streets of Lexing-
ton in August for Is 1-2 cents per pound.
1t was Immediately expressed to Mem
phis and there placed upon sale to the
highest bidder as per the usual custom
and brought 40 cents per pound. The
producer received a barrel of -four as a
premium besides the purchase price
named. Other bales followed in quick
succession until half the counties had
gone through with attendant first bale
excitement. The crop is not good as a
general thing, either in Mississippi or
the South, and there is no reason why
single bale Of middhng should sell for
less than IL cents. The spectators may
hammer il below that figure, but it Is
well worth IL cents in the face of pres
ent indications of yield

1t has been suggested by som. Of the
state papers, that the Farmers Union,
along its well known educational lines,
take up the matter OF tobacco growing
and make a test OF the section common
ly known as the ''piney woods,' to as
certain definitely whether good tobacco
can be grown there or not. The idea
is undoubtedly a good one and worthy of
consideration. During the past few
years tobacco has been grown on small
scale successfully in number Of the
counties OF South Mississippi, and il is
very likely that the industry with prop
er handling could be made one of i'm
portance. Judge ". II. Hardy has con
tended for some time that the very best
OF tobacco could be grown there, raising
It himself and having a considerable
quantity made into cigars for test. II
tobacco that would command fair
price on the market could be raised,
there is little doubt but what interested
growers could be found to put the
scheme into practical operation. Missis-
sippi will raise successfully almost any
thing that grows in other countries, and
! why not tobaeco,

road improvement in the following
strong and sensible manner: Now, YOU
well know our public road system could

by the applying of the labor of county
convicts to them. but when We come to
look into this we find that there would
not he sufficient funds from the per
capita tax of those subject to road duty

gest as remedy TO supply the deicien-
ey that We levy a one-mill tax on reai

maintaining the public roads ON the
nonresident land holders, and | favor
the establishment OF a state road com
mission and the issuance of bonds by
the state to build state highways along
the township and range lines, these
roads to be graded, twenty feet wide
and straight. Now Of course this looks
like big thing, and really it is big
thing. but II can be done and eventually
will he done. and the sooner IL is done
the better for our country. When once
these roads are built, farming industries
will multiply by leaps and bounds, and
after all is said and done, it seems to

remain with us that can be turned over
from year to year to yield a revenue, so
it seems that il is to the farm and the
farmer that we must look for the main

prosperity, and the farmer can never at

the roads Of the county have been put

made a splendid success of the effort.
Again this year the event will be dupli-
Gated but on a much larger scale, re-
solving itself into three big days time,
October 25, 26 and 81. The people of
Lee, Itawamba, Prentiss, Pontotoc,
Union and Tippah counties are invited
to participate. John Dulaney has been
elected president and Forest Prather
secretary. Charley Newman seems to
be head pusher and is making a canvass
of the territory for cooperation and ex-
hibits. A good list of cash and other
premiums to cover a wide range of ex-
hibits has been Offered and there is lit

ing. The writer is pretty well acquaht-
ed with the territory surrounding Bald

be made that will reflect great credit
upon the territory represented. The

ment of the state. Make it big event

The Renewal a Strain.

Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon,
again with tens Of thousands the
hardest kind Of work has begun, the
renewal Of which is a mental and
physical strain to all except the most
rugged. The little girl that a few
days ago had roses in her cheeks, and
the little boy whose lips were then SO
red you would have insised that they
had been "kissed by strawberries"
have already lost something OF the
appearance OF health. Now is time
when many children should be given
a tonic which may avert much serious
trouble, and we know Of no other SO
highly to be recommended as Hoods
Sarsaparilla. which strengthens the
nerves, periects digestion and assimi-
lation, and aids mental development
by building up the whole system.

weeks ago, and soon after affiliated
with the trades and labor assembly,
was officially cast out Friday by
that body and refused permission to
march in the labor day parade. This

that the recent agitation against the
