The Progress Cub Of Laurel is Of
fering handsome cash prizes to the citi
zens of that elegant little city for the
permanent improvement and beautify-
ing of their premises. A splendid reward
should be the result of this movement.
Mississippi should be State of home
owners and such progressive movements
as this will tend to make it so. The club
is also arranging to plant several hun
dred shade trees and care for them until
they are sufficiently large to care for
themselves. Laurers Progressive Club
is an innovation for the identifying and
improvement of the city that will be
watched by the whole State with in
tsrest, and it might be well for other
places to get ready for an emulation
of her example.

This was wholly a surplus crop with
Mr.. Henderson, he having made the usual
crop of corn, cotton, hay, potatoes, etc,
along at the same time, besides having
an abundance at home all the time.
What has been done one time can be
done again, and there are thousands of
people no better situated than NJ. Hen
derson who are doing as well, and an
vironments that are not doing nearly
so we'll This is an evidence of what
can be done in Mississippi with proper
admixture of brains and energy. No
State in the Union offers greater in
ducements to the man who is willing to
work and exercise proper Judgment.
Sss
At no time in the past has Mississippi
needed public men who dare to do the
right more than right now. Several years
of great prosperity has attracted to the
State corporations and individuals with
limitless amounts of capital behind them.
While this is a pleasant state of affairs,
it is one that is fraught with more or
less danger. We owe to these gentlemen
fair and equitable adjustment of af
fairs, guaranteeing to them protection
under our laws, but at the same time
1t is our duty to see that the citizens
of our State are also protected. The ex-
e %
us as a beacon light at this time, show
ing plainly that our people must be on
guard to protect their interests. Select
men to fill the places of public trust that
are above reproach, and who will fear
lessly do their duty, although they be
subjected to the criticism and antago
nism of powerful lobbies and the en-
ployes of large moneyed corporations.
Some of these concerns have hundreds
of employees throughout the State, as
we'll as hundreds of others who are un-
der obligations to them for various rea-
SONS. The systems in vogue in other
States is to crush politically any man
who dares to do the right and oppose
schemes that are not in the interest of
the whole people. 1t takes strong
man to stand up in the face of such tao
tics, so often is the public misinformed
as to his motives and his actions con-
demned We need men who are fearless
and just more right now than ever be-
fore. Select only those who are known
to have these qualifications to fill the
Offices.

The city council at Gloster in inves-
tigating the advisability of using wood
in the light plant owned and operated
by the city. And why not? 1t is shown
from figures given that to fire with
wood the cost of operation can be con-
siderably lessened, but that is not the
biggest item to consider. Mississippi is
blessed with immense quantities of wood
that is too often wasted in clearing land.
If enterprises operated by steam would
afford a market for this wood it would
be a great blessing to the farmers. They
could realize something for this waste
product and the money thus distributed
would be kept in circulation in the home
communities. Money spent for coal goes
to other States and rarely ever finds its
way back here. The Gloster authcri-
ties are evidently on the right track,
and other communities should profit by
their example.
The writer desires photos of the mod

EXTINCT ANIMALS Of
The FAR west.
Pigmy Fossils for Wyoming
Show Ancient Horses No
Bigger Than Foxes.

That Wyoming was once a lillipu-
liam world, occupied by pigmy animals
in the likeness of animals on earth
to-day is the scientific fact which pal
entologists of the Wyoming tate
University are preparing to give 10 tn
world.
Horses no larger than modern fox,
beavers the size of mice,d ogs as small
as coyotes, and other animals built
upon the same miniature lines are
now known to have existed in the
years ago, and their skeletons are be-
ing set up in The museum of the State
University by Prof. w. II. Reed, pal
entOlogist of the University and cura-
tor of the Museum History of that
institution.
Prof. Reed has spent the entire sum-
mer in the great fossil beds of Cen
trail Wyoming and says his discover
les therein are among the most i'm
portant ever reported to science.
In securing the fossil of the little
horse Prof. Reed thinks he has con-
firmed the surmise heretofore made
that Wyoming was the real birthplace
of the horse. He has an almost COM
plete skeleton of the antediluvian
horse, showing that animal to have
been no larger than fox of the pres
ent day, but with every bone of the
present horse and in much the same
position and shape.
The little animal was evidently a
hardy grazer, capable of much hard
ship in securing it's food. And even
in that early day the horse showed
great swiftnes of foot and possessed
speed sufficient to enable it TO keep
out of the clutches of flesh-eating ami
mails.
But Prof. Reed attaches more impor
lance TO the fossil beaver than 10 the
horse, even. The beaver is from tbs
aligocene tertiary age, one OF the old
est in which fossils are found, show
ing that animals flourished at the ear
ly period in the earth's existence. The
specimen is a perfect skull and upper
jaw of the rodent. The skull is less
than half an inch long. The molar'
are only an eighth of an inch long
and the incisors not much longer.
Prof. Reed was also fortunate enough
to secure the complete skeleton of ;
dog of the aligocene tertiary age, no
bone being missing. The skeleton
is about the size of a coyote of tn
Western plains.
But Prof. Reed found some BIZ
bones, too. Not the least interesting
was the tusk of a monster boar, tn
big tusk indicating an animal weigh
ing about 1000 pounds. The tusk i
complete, but is in three pieces an
shows an animal which must hav
been a terror to the other animal
in that age.
A fossil of one of the great liar
family was discovered in a sandston
cliff, where it can be seen stretche
out to its full length, high up on tn
face of the bluff. Nearly rs feet G
the great reptile can be seen presery
ed In the solid rock.
Prof. Reed says the field he visit
ed, called 'Hells Half-Acre," is tn
most remarkable fossil quarry in tn
world. The fact that so many fossil
are found there has led to the theor
that at the time the whole surfac
of the earth was changed by som

SOUTH TREMBLE FOR
SUNDAY LAW REPEAL
Democratic Candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor for Owen
Tyler on Liquor Platform.

Pikeville, KY, Oct. 10.-Judge JANE
Breathitt, candidate for Attorney Cen
eral on the Republican ticket, and Con
gresham SCUM Trimble, Of the SeN'
enth District, candidate for Liculen-
ant Governor on the Democratic 1ick
ct met in joint debate in the court
house yesterday afternoon al this place
Judge Breathitt spoke first and mao
one of the most telling speeches Nina
was ever delivered i'll Pike coun j..
He presented facts and fingers show
ling the mismanagement OF the Stat
affairs under The Democratic admins
tration. This was far the best speech
of he campaign in this SETON. On
the question of Sunday closing he pro-
pounded the question to Mr.. Trimblc,
"if he Endorsed Owen Tyler's course
in Louisville in advocating repeal
of the Sunday law, and keep
ing saloons open on Sunday" In re-
Spouse to this Mr.. Trimble answered
that he Endorsed the candidacy of Mr.
Tyler. and if he was in Louisville and
an elector of said district, he would
vote for him, that he believed in vo-
ing the Democratic ticket "straight'
regardless of what they stood for.
After Mr.. Breathitt closed his talk,
Mr.. Trimble arose in an excited man
ner and made one of the most abu-
sive speeches, if it could be called a
speech, ever delivered in this sec ion.
He did not touch upon facts or Any
issue in the campaign al all, but lo'L
his text on the murder of WillidA
Goebel, and the Negro" After ex-
hausiing all of his vocabulary, which
seemed 10 be limited in SO far as mis-
delivering a speech was concerned,
he turned loose on the poor old No
gro and spoke in part as follows:
White Republicans are all right,
but the sore spot with me against
them is the negro question. They add
vocate the rights of seventy-five
thousand negroes in Kentucky who are
the meanes,, blacklist, slimest of the
earth, who ought 10 be disfrancnised
| must say that Ham made a mistake
in allowing them to go into the ark
so that there would be one on the
earth, and it is a great pity at tEr
close of the war that fire was no
touched to every negro tent in the
South. They are, you might say, the
scrapings OF the devil. They are the
most fiendish, hellish set on earth.
The Democratic party in the South
with shooting guns have helped 10 re-
! lieve the nation OF a great many OF
these beasts of the fild. / am ac-
quainted with sections in This Safe
where the negroes are SO thick tha
! if you rent a courtroom 20 make n
speech in, that you would have 10
burn asafoetida and carbolic acid 10
kill the SMELL"
His speech was disgusting both 'to
| Democrats and Republicans, except =
few Democratic partisans who applaud
ed his speech, especially regarding
the negro In reply Judge Breathiu
handled him without gloves, and by
responding 10 him on the only TWO
questions on which his speech dwelt.
Judge Breathitt made wonderful inn
preston here, and by all who heard
it his speech was pronounced one OF
the best of the campaign. Such
speeches as Trimble made here ta-day
will only tend 10 increase the Repub-
lican majority in Pike county.
