Rich Without Money.

Many man is rich without money.
Thousands of them with nothing in
their pockets, and thousand without
even pocket, are rich. a man born
with a good sound constitution, d
good stomach, d good heart and good
limbs and a pretty good head-piece,
is rich. Good bones are better than
gold, tough muscles than silver, and
nerves that fash fire and carry cner-
'gy to every function, are better than
houses and land. 1t is better than
landed estate to have had the right
kind of a father and mother. Good
breeds and bad breeds exist among
men as really as among cattle and
horses. Education may do much to
check evil tendencies, or to develop
good ones, but it is a good thing to
inherit the right proportion of facul-
ties TO start with. That man is rich
who has flavor of wit and fun in his
composition. The hardest thing to
get along with in this life is a man S
own self. A cross, selfish fellow, a
Responding and complaining fellow,
a timid, care burdened man, these
are all born deformed on the inside.
Their feet may not limp, but their
thoughts do. A man of fortune on
the brink of the grave would gladly
part with every dollar to obtain a
longer lease of life.

Swift Destruction.

We have sat upon the seashore and
waited for it's gradual approaches,
and have seen its dancing waves aud
white surf, and admired He who
measured it with His hand had given
it life and motion; and we fingered
till it's gentle waters grew into NIGH
ty pillows, and had well-nigh swept
US from our firm footing. So we have
seen some of the needless youth of
our town gazing with curious spirit
upon sweet motions and gentle APP
proaches of inviting pleasures and
sins, till they have detained their
eyes and imprisoned their feet and
they have been swept to swift dcs-
truction.

Truth of Science.

If you will look into the early life
of truly helpful men, those who make
life easier or nobler to those who
come after them, you will almost in
variably find that they lived purely
in the days of their mouth. In early
life the brain, though Astounding in
vigor, is sensitive and very sascepti-
BILE to injury, and this to such de-
gree, that brief moderate indulg-
ence in vicious pleasures appears to
lower the tone and impair both the
delicacy and efficiency of the brain
for life. This is not preaching boys,
it is simply the truth of science.

Crysta, Springs Meteor.
There is a strong probability that
the next legislature will enact stat
uatory prohibition. The sentiment in
favor of it is overwhelming and ire
sistible and will be crystalized into
law, This great moral issue, by steal
thy evolution, has become political
in character by reason of tacit ac-
quiescence in its Righteousness and
recognition of its economic value to
the State and protection to society.
In this connection the South should
be complimented on the advanced
position it has taken on this great
question: position attained only
by the homogeneity of the populati
on ami the absence of the foreign ell
ment which dominates the North
and retards the progress of prohibi-
ton.

Whatsoever little influence that the
HERALD can WELD towards assisting
the very laudable movement on
amongst the teaching fraternity of
the State for Teachers Training
School or State Normal, we gladly
give it, and earnestly hope that the
reward of hard efforts may crystalline
in a passage of the appropriation
necessary for insuring the creation
and carrying on of this important
branch of Education by the State.
With Governor Noel in the executive
Chair, declaredly in favors OF the
matter, all that's necessary is to
secure enough votes amongst the
Legislators to get the measures pass
Ell in both Houses. Had it not been
that our endorsement of the move
ment during its agitation in the
recent campaign, would have been
misunderstood and thereby weakened
as partisan politics, our decision on
this question would have been an
nounced several months earlier than
now.

We are no baud wagon jumper.
Not that our joints are too stiff
to spring onto the cart
as it rattles by with the elect
of the land ensconccd thereon, but
because we really have stiffness
enough of backbone to go along on
foot, if We did not manage to take
the right Car in time. That is before
election time. However, we won't be
found throwing any chunks in the
path of the said vehicle If it passes
over mire hole, we will trot out and
give good hearty push and tug to
move it out, provided the occupants
keep clean themselves and work to
that end Our idea is TO assist in
making history for Mississippi in the
next four years of which we shall all
be proud, but we do not consider it
a part OF our step to this goal, to
bow before those who were political
victors. No Mississippian with the
memory of the great birth-right
should do that. All good Democrats
have place to take in building up
our Commonwealth matters not who
are our selected officials.

The HERALD takes occasion now to
congratulate its old friend and sub
scriber Joe E. Johnson of Richton,
on his election to the responsible
office of Treasurer of Perry County
IN the recent primaries. Joe will hold
that Office down well. He taught
school in Greene County for several
years and married a Greene County
girl, and hasn't been out of the coun-
ty hardly long enough TO feel like
we have lost his citizenship, but
but Perry has captured and honored
him.

with all that G mother most eloquent

prayer, he is still surrounded by q
holy influence,
If the sister writes frequently,
manifcsting her pure affection in
such ways as her heart naturally
prompts. he can hardly run into sin.
And if home epistles come seldom,
what then? The loss in the young

his leisure hours dull, and they must
be enliyened. There is no call for long
heart-full letters in return for SINH
lar ones. The evenin gs he might give

Wanting the tenderness of woman S
love, it is not strange if he falls a
victim to wicked wiles. So he forsake
his better self and takes to his bos-
ON pleasure that sting him to death.
And ere long he becomes thing for
the mother and sister to weep over,
and his promising young life fades
out in darkness. a sad picture this
of course. But it is only a sad picture
of even sadder realities. There are
hundreds of young men ia every
great city, in the very lowest depths
of degradation, whom the home infiu-
ence, carefully and prayerfu.ly ex-
tended through tender, affectionatc,
womanly letters, might have saved.
There are hundreds of others, just
taking their first lesson in vice, who
may be brought back s to purity by
loving words from mothers, sisters
or sweethearts Until a man becomes
thoroughly vicious. the thought of
a pure woman S love will do much to
restrain him from iniquity. II that
love grows careless of him, he grows

NOT DISCOUNTED
But of a Cooperative Turn.

The HERALD selected loser III

our choices TRANQUILITY. What APP
peared to us as the best fitted men
for the place all round and every
thing considered, were evidenced by
our entering the arena in their BE-

Mississippi WHY this persuation on

other way, but very near as many

by their immense allied votes, that

with us. One of the great tests of
true citizenship under our COVER
ment, is submittal to the will of the
majority, SO we assure our readers
one and all that we are content to
have the matter go just as it did.
OptimiStiely do we look forward to
a quadrennium in which Mississippi
will take great progressive strides.
We shall work to that end, and not
permit ourselves to act as a little
sour-dispositioned pup, and bark at
the heels of our administrators of
government at every turn they take.
Rather shall we endevor to Join in
with them and lay our shoulders to
the wheel of the Car of State and

aside will endevor to help make them
prove of the best any way.

STATUTORY PROHIBITION.

At 4 recent assembly of the Pro-
hibition forces of the State in Jack
son, Miss, it was determined by the
leaders of that movement, to launch
immedis tely campaign for pushing
through an enactment by the Legis-
lature newt year, whereby all Miss
issippi will be by Statute declared
dry.
The HERALD wants to say plainly
and flatfootedly that we are in favor
of Statutory Prohibition, and in fact
of its enactment right now We be-
lieve 1T TO be a very suspicious time.
The tide of prohibition sentiment
which is sweeping irrisistibly over
the South has invested Mississippi,
and is silently but sternly washing its
waters over towards the state house
at jackson.
At one time we questioned in our
mind, not the concrete principle of
Statutory Prohibition, We do not
mean Constitutional prohibition, but
the expedieieney Of it. Legislation
should never get ahead of public
sentiment, or laws which are the out
growth of such conditions will be dead
letters as local cooperation will be
lacking for their enforcement. To
outlaw whiskey in the few counties
in Mississippi in which it is still per-
missible to sell it under license is
the very movement that is necessary
to awaken the people of these locali-
ties as a whole to their real needs
and wants. The right minded, with
the baneful saloon in their midst and
a strong foreign element to contend
with too, need some bOlStering up
legally from up the country, and the
Old State should give it. This would
wake the folks on the coast to the
beauties of living under prohibition
laws and will guarantee the enduring
of its sentiment. Will eventuate in
Constitutional prohibition. the
growth will then come more rapid
for that. And then Mississippi has
done her duty TO bespeak for Nation
al Prohibition Constitutionally. All
this will in days to come be done.
Some of us may live to see it it all
consummated. The wonderful strides
being made today show what can be
done.
