"Now for few facts as to the wolf"
writes st. Crolx. "He can 90 eight
days without food and can then eat
forty pounds Of meat at a sitting, so
the Indians say. This is pretty fair
for an animal weighing but eighty
pounds. Yet we do not know tho
length Of the sitting.
"The wolf will not venture on glare

Novelty Buggies.

public that they have brought suit
against A. w Lilliston for $4,000
damages on account Of the
libelOus statements made by him in
regard to the Novelty Buggies and
published in recent issues of the Acco-

issue the truth of Mr.. Lilliston's state
Dlents, and will give him an oppor-

two thirds Of last seasons buggies
gave dissatisfaction by dropping to
pieces, "he wanted to contract in Janu-

hundred and fifty $50 of these bug

the new drainage law and will
reclaim large tracts of wet land.
Lee county was the first to Sec
ure such a law to meet local cases

by canals. The law under which
we have operated has been cop
led in a general way by the leg

by wife, and began to live with
her instead of his family. The
neighbors called on him and
administered a horsewhipping
that left him in apitiful condition,
then delivered him in at home
with an injunction that any more
affinity business would mean the
application of a telegraph pole.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
THE PEOPLE.

THE PEOPLE.
The Itawamba County Farmers
Union at a meeting of the Union
where thirty two out of forty
two unions were represented,
passed a resolution memorable
ing Congressman Gambler to use
his influence to suppress future
dealings in farm products: in sup
port of a parcels post law, and in
the support of such measures as
will make the newspapers and
periodicals responsible for adver-
tisements they publish. We
heartily agree with the Union in
the matter of using every means
to suppress future gambling in
all commodities, especially that
of the products of the farm. 1t
is an evil that should be done
away with, and we are satisfied
that the evil will be short lived.
Already several states have pas
sed measures that prevent future
dealings in such commodities and
this species of gambling is on the
wane.
In the matter of a parcels post
law we do not believe that it
would work to the advantage of
the people generally. In the first
place it would very largely in
crease the cost of running the
post Office department. 1t is a
hard matter to make this depart
ment pay running expenses and
congress has frequently to make
an appropriation to cover the de-
felt in the department. With an
increase in the amount of pounds
that may be carried through the
mail also comes an increase in
the cost to the government. The
department stores in the great
cities will be the principal bena-
ficiaries and are clamo. ing for
such a law. The buyer who US
es the parcels post always ''buys
a pig in a POKE. He knows
nothing about the article ordered
except what he sees in the high
ly colored advertisement in the
big catalogues sent out by the
department st)ces. In a great
majority of cases the article car
can be bought a; hone for the
same money, or maybe less.
Herethe purchaser has an oppor-
tunity to eXami1 the article and
to pass on its worth; where or
dered, he only takes what the
sharp, anxious seller has to say
about it. Besiles, the depart.
ment store see; to destroy the
mutual benefit d rived by trading
with home peop},. The country
store takes in exchange every
thing of value the farmer has tc
sell. This has resulted in the
building up Of al enormous pro.
duce business . I'd has brought
to the farmer til highest prices
ever received f. what is known
as produce. Ev4ry little store ir
the country is a produce gather
er and many a finily is supplied
with sugar, coff.,, soda, and in
frequent cases d ! goods. by the
eggs, chickens a I'd butter from
the farm. This is of the great
est benefit to the farmer, and
such trading should be increased
rather than destroyed by the de.
partment stores through a par
GELS post with greater privileges
than now enjoyed.
The making of newspapers re-
sponsible for what they adver-
tise would be a difficult propos-
ition. No newspaper should aG-
vertise a fraud, but the newspa-
pers can be deceived as we'll as
the buyer. You can't make a
man furnish a sample of his COM
modify along with his ADVERTISE
ment. No newspaper man will
advertise a fraud if he knows it,
but we have no way of finding out
frauds until they are committed

A Lesson for Merchants.

There is a lesson for every
merchant in the experience told
by a representative Of a Chicago
mail order h,use to gathering
of newspaper men UP in Iowa.,
says the Topeka Journal He
said that the null ordar business
depended entirely upon advertise
ng. He made one remark that
merchants should heed, He said
that they take the local papers
and direct their special efforts to
communities where the mer-
chants are not up-to-date adver-
tisers. If the mail order man
finds that any line of business in
any town or city is not we'll ad-
vertised, he said that they flood
that territory with their litera
ture, and always with s~atisfac-
tory results. He believed it true.
He said that country merchants
could greatly cripple the mail
order business if they would ad-
vertise freely and in the right
manner. He said that every ad-
vertisement should describe all
articles to be sold and state the
prices. Here is food for thought
by merchants who fear the effect
of mail-order houses
Bergar Prince Opera Company.
II Is with pleasure that we announce
the engagement of the Beggar Prince
Opera Company for one night, COM
mencing Nov. 10.
The repertoire this season includes
all new Operas, the special opera being
a grand scenic production of 1.-THE Adj
ventures of Fra Dia Volo." The plot
of this famous opera details the life
and adventures of a robber who holds
in the mountains of Italy. First dis
guised as a marquis and then as ''Dia
Volo" he is feared alike by rich and
poor. The opera contains beautiful
mu ,ic; also clean comedy parts and a
pretty chorus Of girls. The last act at
the foot of the black rocks, where Dia
Volo" meets his death at the hands of
the soldiers, is considered the best ever
written for a comic opera. Mr.. Harry
Lea Velle, the we'll known tenor, will
be 81 en- as 'Dia Volo."
Seats now on sale at Pound, K,ncan-

HOLD ELECTION
NEXT JANUARY
COMMISSIONERS WILL NOT ACT
IN NINTH DISTRICT VACANCY
FOR A WHILE.

While the Election Commissioners
have had no formal meeting, it has
about been decided to postpone the
election to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of John Brown as mag
istrate of the Ninth district to some
time in January To hold the election
before the first Of the year would re-
quire the opening of the registration
books on Thanksgiving day, work few
people would care to undertake. The
election would then have to be held
during Christmas week, time when
many people are away from home and
others have their time taken up with
Christmas buying, Christmas selling
or Christmas festivities and will pay
little attention to politics or elections.
