The Cades Ginning Go. has
recently over-hauled its machin-
cry, putting in new saws, new
brushes and one new gin, also
one electric dynamo. This gives
them a complete, up-to date
large system with electric lights
to run at night. The manager
of this ginnery calculates to
turn out a nicely packed bale
every ten minutes. This will
give one hundred and forty-four
bales in twenty-four hours.
The manager feels confident of
taking care of all old customers
with qui te a lot of new ones.
We have here eight cotton
seed buyers, all anxious to do
business. This has always been
one of the best seed markets in
the county and the boys say she
will exceed herself this season.
We have four bale cotton buy
ers, who are in direct touch with
the leading exporters of the
county. The first bale of cotton
sold here will probably sell for
something like IS cents, while
we think seed will open at seven

ton.

Whiskey ON the Roof.

Incident with the invasion OF SOM
erset county by the Sturgis commits
sion, and possibly directly connected
herewith, comes the news of the dis
covery of 25 bottles of whiskey on the
roof OF the business block owned by
f. \. Merrill, on the south side Of
Water street near the Railroad cross
ing The first raid of the Sturgis
deputies was on Saturday and the find
above referred to was on Monday,
and it is not impossible that the
goods may have been placed on the
roof by their owner, thinking they
would be safer there than on the
street floor during the troublous
times that will be in store for retail
liquor dealers if Somerset has been
taken into the area of activity by the
enforcement commission.
The linemen of the Maine Tele-
phone Co., were at work on the roof
of the building mentioned and Mr..
Merrill was at hand to see his proper
ty was not injured by their opera
tions. He noted burlap sack which
did not seem to be a necessary part
of the furniture and fixtures for a
well ordered roof and asked the tele-
phone men if it belonged to them.
On their negative reply he proceeded
to examine it with the disclosure
above stated. There was nothing
about the property to indicate it's
ownership and Mr.. Merrill, some
what indignant that anyone should
make use of the roof of his building
for such a purpose, conveyed the
whole outfit to the bank of the river
and smashed the bottles on the rocks.
Consumers and dealers of liquor in
Maine, in their efforts to eyade the
prohibitory law, give rise to many
amusing incidents and this is certain
ly one of them. There is more or less
conversation of the joking sort over
the affair and someone claims to
know that this particular lot of whis-
key was of very poor quality. Our
informant does not state how he
knows this but adds that 1t was of the
grade that was for sale in town on the
last circus day. This comparison
does not convey any definite impress
sion to the REPORTER and we trust it
may not to any of our readers, but
the tone of voice in which the infor-
nation was given, and the expression
of the face, would indicate that the
speaker felt the phrase, "circus day
whiskey" expressed about the limit
80 far as that beverage is concerned.
In view of Mr.. Merrill's experience
every householder should search his
roof with care to make sure that it is
not the repository for contraband
goods.

MOTTO FOR our cUIoAnct.

In speaking of the convention

lana and Texas which was held in
Beaumont. Texas, very recently.
Mr.. M. B. Trezevant. who repres-
ented the Progressive Union there.
used the following words, we'll
worthy of reproduction and ap-
proval:
"The work of this convention
has inaugurated movement in
which l see far-reaching possible
tiles. Though Louisiana and
Texas are now only concerned in
framing up the plan of organiza-
ton. ! offered a resolution to the
effect that the organization be
made sufficiently elastic to alloy
the inclusion of other States in
the Mississippi Valley and South
+ern and Gulf districts. This reso-
luton was unanimously adopted.

ization az auxiliary members hav-
ing all privileges except the yot-
ing power.
"Perhaps the greatest benefit to
be derived from such an associa-
tioh is, the personal contact
brought about among the men,
bers, and the confidence which
such personal knowledge inspires
One of the things which should
fight tor more stresuously
than anything else is the elimina-
tion of petty jealousies when we
have great issues at stake OF a
national or semi-national charac-
ter"
The latter sentence of the latter
paragraph expresses a truth of
clear importance, which should
be kept alive and acted on with
out fail by all those who believe
in working for the general good
in order to secure individual bene-
fits. There is no room in the same
territory for petty jealousieso
and great "semi-national" prosper
ity, wherefore it follows that all
petty local jealousies must be
eliminated in the interest of the
whole South. if its age of prog
ress is to be as splendid and as
lasting as we have every right to
believe and expect.
What is good for the entire
South is good for all its states, all
its cities, all its inhabitants.
Let elimination of the petty
jealousies" be a motto for our
steady guidance.

New Orleans Item and it covers

|Wekave large acreage of fine
agricultural lands that the heavy
growth of timber has heretofore
prevented being put into cultiva-
ton. o. the expense of SO doing
was SSgreat that no one wanted
to 3nse the lands. Now these
lands are being denuded OF this
timber and can be readily put
into cultivation. There are many
large tracts of land, from which
the timber has been cut. owned
by the saw mill companies who
will sell them in small tracts to
bona 6de settlers who desire to
make farms and cultivate these
lands. These lands produce corn,
cotton. oats. rye, barley. potatoes.
sorghum, sugar cane. rice and all
kinds Of fruits and vegetables.
There is no better land for straw
berries, peaches. plums. grapes
and pears than the pine lands in
Winn Parish. Then we have what
is known as the black lands in
wards one. four and nine that is
adapted to raising grain and
alfalfa.
Farming has been on the wane
for some years in this section but
with the advent of good prices
for agricultural products and the
increased cost of living in the
cities and towns, many men who
gave up their farms ard were
carried away with the high price
of labor are now seeking a home
to commence farming again. A
farmer in Winn Parish can raise
all of his food on the farm and
sell-the surplus. This is a good
stock raising country; good cattle.
hogs, horses and mules can be
raised here as cheaply or mere
SO than any other country in the
United States. We rarely have
winter enough to injure stock and
this section is so well watered
that If men will take the trouble
and prepare for it theyeaH
irrigate their lands,thI thI,S1eh il is
ssleokii iiist irrigation would be
necessary.
We are making no imaginary
statements about the production
or capacity of the lands in Winn
Parish; We know whereof we
write. What we need is class
OF industrious farmers who are
willing to work; such men who
come here have all succeeded.
We have instances to whom we
can refer all over the parish.
We will take pleasure in locating
any one who desires to make him
a good home where he can be
independent. Winn Parish opens
her arms, and her fertile soil will
pour into the laps of all good
farmers who will only give them
the chance.
