"The question to which these fig
lues will bring to many thoughtful
men is, How much of this vast IN
crease of wealth have the true heirs
of the land, the Southern people, gath
cred to themselves, and how much
have they allowed strangers to the
soil to appropriated Have our peo-
pie made the most of our sections re-
sources, or has our county been ex'
plotted by Northern capital and
Northern aggressiveness? We have
no fault to find with Northerners who
put Northern money and Northern
brains and energy into Mississippi
fields Of industry. They are to be
welcomed here, but would it not be
better if our own people were more
numerously represented among the
captains, Of industry? Have we not
allowed others to supply what he had
in plenty1penetration to see our
great opportunities, the progressive
energy to overcome the inertia OF an
old and fixed economic regime, and
the faith to take the chances And
of the tremendous reward could not
our own people have reaped a larger
and iuster share of the harvest? In
an age of high development, we OF
this section Of Mississippi live in
land for the most part yet undlspolled
of its virgin opportunities. Its unde-
veloped resources are still IN native
hands, and it remains to be seen
whether we, ourselves, shall develop
them or continue to raise cotton and
look on while others coin our poten-
tial wealth into current specie Of the
land"
As has been said by this writer,
the larger part of our available as
sets in the shape of undeveloped re-
sources ire still in the hands Of our
own people, and it remains for them
to do the work of developing them
and reaping the lions share of the
profits to accrue which belongs toI
them. Mississippians, consider care
fully the thoughts brought out in this
article and begin now this work Of
development that means so much 10
the future welfare of our great state
and its loyal people, if done by them
and the profits kept where they right
fully belong.

The fact that thousands OF good CIT
liens of our great state are now talk
ing about and working for "Greater
Mississippi" is very gratifying n
deed, and especially SO, when we con-
slider the fact that this is the result
of a systematic campaign of only a
few years. Up at Oxford few days
since, Hon. Geo. 7. Mitchell of Tu-
pelo, addressing the young men in
that institution, took for his subject
"Greater Mississippi" and spoke to
them along that line. Let us sincere
ly hope that every day will give addl-
tional converts to the cause, people
who will tell of the good things here
in our own state, and especially to the
young men and women, urging them
to stay here and assist in the
great work undertaken. They are
needed badly, and the proper effort
on the part Of our loyal people would
keep them here. Consider this matter
and then act.

Charleston voted recently on the

The vote stood sixty-two for to one

termed a unanimous vote, the party
who voted against the propositions
probably having done so by mistake.

"The Dedicated Life"
From Boston Transcript.

pTOm bOSLOn
THE Dedicated Life" is the latest--its
predecessors having been 1.-THE Simple
Life" and the Strenuous Life" 1t is
commended by no less practical and un-
sentimental a mind than the of Mr.. Hal
dane, secretary OF state for war in the
Campbell ll-Bannerman ministry. 1t makes
it's appearance In the address which he de-
livered recently as lord rector to the stu
dents Of the University Of Edinburgh, and
which was there pronounced by Mr.. Bal
four himself, a great discourse" Mr..
Haldane in this address answers the time
honored questions, What Is life? What is
the measure Of success?" by showing that
1t is the dedication, the selecting of an
ideal, the concentrating upon that, the
sticking to 1t, whether successful or un-
uccessful-especially indeed, II unsuc-
cessful-that is the noblest use to which a
life can be put. The test Is not success
or failure, the reaching of some definite
point; It is the striving itself, or rather the
quality of the striving, the aiming in con-
tinually higher and higher reach towards
the ideal, the struggling instead OF Yield
ing. that is manhood's highest expression.
This Is supported by Lessing. who de-
clared that were God to offer him the
truth on one hand and the search on the
other, he would choose the search. Rob
ert Browning delivered powerfully, again
and again. this great message In some OF
his most characteristic poems.

peacock displaying its fine feathers.
Your walk Is sure to find you out,
so say the advocates OF physical cul-
ture who are trying to instill into the
minds Of women the Importance OF a
correct carriage. ~ @.......-. .....
You can tell woman's disposition
every time by the way she walks, they
claim. Watch the woman who is given
to sullxing and you will find, nine times
out of ten, that she walks with her
shoulders up and her head hanging
down between them. The timid woman
has way OF shrinking along with little
mincing steps as II she were afraid
somebody was going to step up behind
and hit here in the back. The discour-
aged woman fairly droops along with
her head down, her shoulders hang
ing limp and her footsteps dragging
wearily, while the happy woman walks
with light buoyant step, and the wom-
an who has looked on trouble and Is not
afraid throws out her chest. holds her
head well up and steps with firm, elias
tic tread, straight and sure.

5000 NEEpLEssLY BLIND.
Worker Says There Is Large Amount
of Preventabie Blindness.
From the washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
Miss Winifred Holt. secretary Of the
New. York association. for the blind,
At a conferences on blindness, intended
20 be primarily chautauqua for prac-
tical workers In philanthropy, held yes
terday In the United Charities building,
"a Fourth avenue, illustrated her ada
dress by variety of products, the
handiwork OF the slghtless, and by a,
series of interesting lantern slides, each
OF which served to demonstrate how
easily the problem OF the blind can be
solved. w..
In the course of her address Miss
Holt said ITO help the blind. we must
get at them and reclassify them; find
ont where they are. what their condi-
lions are and how we can help them.
In the census of 1900 some classifica-
zion was made. ..
These censuses all prove that blind
mess Is often the result of poverty; that,
as rule, the blind are poor; that there
as shocking amount of preventable
Msndness. There are $4,000 blind per-
sons IA the United States. according
tn the last census. twenty-five thou
sand or more have borne the disasters

ness whose eyes, with proper care and
treatment, could have been saved: $500
mare could have Ueen preserved from
darkness by simple and inexpensive
tnnthod IL mothers and physicians had
known how to treat the eyes of the
newborn. .
This shows that two-fifths of the
blindness In our country could have
been avoided. 1t Is obvious that our
frst duty is TO prevent this needless
suffering, The law and the state should
head this crusads. which should he sup
plemented by private effort.
