A DRUNK IN VERSE.

4 glittering mirrow, a polished bar
Myriad glasses, straws in a jar.
A kind Young man all dressed in white,
Are my recollections of a iestive night.
A aide walk narrow, far too long,
A sloppy gutter. a policeman strong.
The slan,maing door OF a joliing hack,
Are my recOllections coming back.
The steps were slippery, hard to climb.
Rested often: had lots Of time,
An awkward kevhole. a misplaced chair
Informed the folks that was there.
"A heated interior. an aching he al,
A seasick man, n revolving bed,
Cocktails, 'tizzcs. drinks galore,
emptied them all on the bedroom
floor. -Grcenville Democrat

Boat Now at Mouth of the
hushpuckena.

The frss step in the work Of i'm.
proving the upper SunAower river
Is about to be undertaken. Last
week large barge upon which
dredging machinery will be placed,
was cabled up the river. and by the
latter part ofthe week will have
reached the scene of its first oper-
alton, the mouth Of the Hush
puckena. Here it will be fitted
out with the necessary machinery
for dredging the channel to a point
far enough down the stream to pro-
vide navigation the year round.
It will be remembered that last
season Congressman Ben Humph.
reys accompanied corps of river
engineers over this part Of the Sun
flower with the view of ascertain.
Ing the practicability OF the work
and Of making q report to congress
thereon. With data thus secured
Mr.. Humphreys went before the
national house and secured a suffi-
cient appropriation to undertake
the work.
The opening Of the stream to
navigation means much for the
people who are accessible to it in
the way Of convenience in handl-
ing theil crops and in the very i'm
portant matter Of freight rates.
Another direct and important re-
suit that will be brought about BY
the work is the activity that will be
felt in the opening to cultivation Of
the rich lands along the stream.
This has been retarded for years
by the want Of proper facilities for
marketing crops and the inability at
certain seasons Of the year to get
the railroads for needed supplies.
This Sunflower county is the rich
est and most productive i'll the del
ia, and with navigation assured it
will speediAly be developed.
The credit for the work is due
almost entirely to the unselfish de-
sire of Congressman Humphreys
to help his district. and is only one
Of the many efforts that he has put
forth in this direction. He has
done more in the same length OF
time to advance the interests OF his
district than any other Mississippi
congressman. He is a tireies'
worker for his people and will be
retained in .cQngress as long as he
desise.. 81 ;erve them in this behalf

A PRIZE IDIOT.

Without doubt the University ol
Chicago has had more freaks con-
uectcd with it as "Psofe ssors'
than any other educational insti-
tuition in the world. The latest is
q Prof. Zueblin. and he is not only
natural born idiot. but his talent
has been cultivated. and today he
stands in the foremost rank of out.
of.the- ordinary damphools. In
all earnestuess he asks:
Shall the white race intefmarry
with the negro, or shall the blacks
be permitted to rule the Southern
states in which they are number
ous!"
1t is just sueh contemplate white
scoundrels and political demago.
CUES and blatherskites that urge
the negro to unnatural crimes
which lead to certain death--and
the pity is that all such white skin.
ned barbarians can not be reached
and made to pay the penalty OF
their crimes by yielding up their
worthless lives.
Barren of any impulse for good
in the world, their only thought is
to tear down and tfample under
foot civilization and decency, and
if there is not IN old fashioned or
thodox hell, we do not see how
such brutes can possibly get what
is Justly coming to them.

THE COTTON ASSOCIATION

President Walter Clark has an
nounced campaign for awaken
ing interest in the Southern Cot
ton Association, that is timely and
needful.
This organization has accom-
plished much for the producers of
cotton; and is capable of accom-
plishing much more If its activities
are sustained and supported by
those who are its bene6ciaries
1t is unfortunately true that pros
porous condions that the associa-
ton has promoted are largely re-
sponsible for the waning interest
in work, as it is as If gathering the
fruit of tree, we are satisfied and
care nothing about the tree itself
The Influences weakening the
agency that the organization has
been instrumental in procuring,
are, by strange paradox, turned
into a detrimental influence weak
ing the agency that created them.
The Association is capable OF far
reaching work in making perma-
ment the prosperous rule that 1t
has helped to inaugurate; it should
gather strength and influence from
year to year to combat the mimi
cal Influences, that never sleep,
directed toward keeping down thu
price Of the. South's great staple;
and it should be constantly bore in
mind, that. not only the agricultur'
al, but every business interests IN
this section is vitality concerned n
the maintenance Of its activities
for first and last, the whole econo-
| mic fabric of the South rests upon
its cotton fields. s.-Meridian Star.

ROAD OveRstERs 70 REPORT
Must Render an Account
to Board of Supervisors

Jackson, Aug. 26.-At the next
regular monthly sessions Of the
boards Of supervisors in Mississip-
pi road overseers are expected to
make their semiannual reports
showing the work performed on the
highways under their supervision
during the past six months.
Public road word is a subject Of
considerable importance in Missis
sippi just at present, owing to
threats from the post Office depart
ment at Washington that unless
the condition of public highways is
improved a number Of rural free
routes will be abandoned.
While these threats come from
Washington at regular intervals,
doubtless for the purpose of pro-
noting the construction Of better
highways, nevertheless there have
been several instances of rural free
delivery abandonment In this state
on account of bad roads during the
the past few months, and others
are likely to follow unless material
improvements is shown before
bad autumn and winter weather
sets in.
Apropos Of reports from road
overseers, section 444o Of the code
Of 1906 bearing on the subject Is OF
general interest at this time. 1t is
as follows;
Every overseer shall. on the
first Monday of March and Sep
tember Of each year, make a trne
return to the board of supervisors
of the condition Of the road under
his charge. the number of days he
has worked on the same, the num-
Der of hands under his charge, the
number of fines collected, and a
detailed account, with proper
vouchers, of expenditures on his
road, and whether there be enough
hands OH the road to keep it in
repair, and whether there be sur
plus of hands; and on failure to
make such report, or for wilfully
reporting falsely as. to any partic-
ular required to be- reported he
shall be fined by the board twenty
dollars. The board shall act upon
every snch report and approve or
disapprove it; and if any person
shall make oath that any such over
seer's report is untrue in any par
ticular, the board shall require the
overseer to appear and prove the
correctness of it; and in all cases
where report is disapproved. OF
is found untrue on inquiry, the
overseer shall be fined"

GOING l.PTER THE PEN
NANT.

A sensation has been sprung in
the ranks of the White Sox, by the
strange request of Frank Smith and
Ed Walsh, who have asked that
they be given the distinction Of
pitching the remainder of the
games for Manager Jones until the
Worlds Champions have chinched
the American league pennant for
for 1907.
Never before in the history Of
professional baseball, has such
proposition been made to a man.
ager.
And yet these two men, two
Of the greatest twirlers of the day,
men who are as rule allowed to
do pretty much as they please,
have come across with such a re-
quest, and their proposition is be-
ing seriously entertained by MoRul
Jones. Smith and Walsh have been
doing the bulk of the box work for
the Sox, all during the season, and
they claim now that they can finish
up the season alone, and can bring
+: home the rag for the Windy City.
It was first thought by the fans
of the American league that the
big fellows were trying to run a
bluff OIL the public, but they are
still firm in the belief that they can
accomplish the task, and are still
begging their manager for chance
to show up the batsmen of the big
league.
With the exception of Walsh, and
| Walsh alone, Frank Smith, OF
Bone Head" as he is known in
Southern climes. is probably the
greatest spit ball artist in the world
today, and it does not look SO un'
reasonable after all, that these two
men should ask for the privilege
of showing to the baseball public
of the world that they are capable
Of accomplishing task which has
never before been attempted.
4 If we don't sail in and make a
record of some kind some else will, "
philosophises Smith. Jones sstill
rather leary Of the offer OF his two
stars, but with little urging on
their part. he may finally be in
duced to give them a chance.
When this is done, the National
league will no longer be in the run
ming with its powerful rival.
The White Sox and their two
great twirlers will be the one big
drawing card of the baseball world
