Others who bought late at higher

New york Wool Market.
The consumers of carpet woods are
showing still further interest in the
local market and a larger total of
sales is passing this week than dur
ing the previous seven days. The
bulk of the transfers, however, are
composed of only moderate sized
Quantities, chiefly for actual present
needs. The mill situation Is steadily
recovering from it's comparative dull
ness, and many are resuming fun time
schedules. Arrivals Of new wool are
very small and stocks are steadily re-
moved from warehouses. Owners OF
China woods are sending smaller quan-
titles of their holdings to this market
on ccou OF the low prices prevail
ing here, in comparison with those Oh

Wall Street.

New York. July 27.-The reaction
airy tone which reasserted itself in the
stock market today seemed to be
based on technical causes largely.
Lack of news to afford any other eX-
PLANTATION corroborates this view. The
professional element came to the o
chusion that the strong rally on Sun
day was due to a driving in of the
short interest rather than a resump-
tion of accumulation by the large
forces which have been back of the
market for several weeks past. An
attempt was made to extend this
movement early today. The distribu-
ton of buying orders vas made to
look as though coming from the
strong interests which have support
ed prices for a considerable period
past. The weight of the selling or
ders ON the advance created the sus-
picion that this demonstrative buying
was designed to cover efforts to re-
alize,
Prices consequently turned down
wards. There were some selling or
ders for London account which aggra-
waited the depression. The London
selling was said to be due to an un-
favorable view to the effect on finan-
cial affairs 10 be looked for from
Judge Taft's speech of acceptance Of
the republican nomination. Reports
were current that abstracts of the
speech were published today in Lon
don.
Where supporting measures have
appeared heretofore to absorb stock
offerings these were lacking today.
Last weeks heavy distribution Of
speculative holdings had proceeded to
a degree apparently that left a pow
erful element in the speculation in
different to the course of prices or
actively %favoring a decline to afford
favorable opportunity for getting back
stocks sold at the advance. General
conditions remained unchanged. Very
large estimates of the spring wheat
crop aud downward course of com
modify prices indicated the hopeful
view held regarding all the import
ant crops. Copper advanced again
here and in London. Railway officials
admitted only moderate improvement
in the traffic situation. Iron and
steel trade reports We're but favorable
but some fears were felt that the
quarterly report Of the United States
steel corporation to be given out to-
morrow would prove disappointing.
The quick sales of the $1S,0 600, 900

FOUGHT TO RETAIN FORMULA
WHICH HAS MADE A FORTUNE

L. T. Cooper, the man who believes
that 80 per cent. of all Ill health of
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble, is fast winning national
faith in his theory. His claim is now
admitted by surprising number of
people throughout the country, and he
is gaining new adherents every day.
While speaking of his success in a
recent interview, Mr.. Cooper said: 81
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce q formula that
would thoroughly regulate the ston1-
ach would have a fortune. When |
got hold of this formula | knew with
in six months that I was right, and
that my fortune was made. called
the medicine Cooper's New Discovery,
although I did not get up the formula.
/ have owned it, however, for over
three years. I have had one lawsuit
over it, which / won in the courts.
When it was settled The Cooper Medi-
cine Company became the only firm in
the world that can prepare the medi-
cine. The preparation has sold like
wildfire wherever introduced AS I
have said before, it is successful SIM
ply because, it puts the stomach in
perfect shape, then nature does the
rest. There are any number of COM
plants never before associated with
stomach trouble that the medicine has
alleviated in thousands of cases."

Character the Real Secret.

Happiness comes from self
respect, and self-respect comes
from the knowledge that we are
living within our means, that we
owe no man money we cannot
pay, that we are able to enjoy
the changing seasons without
running in debt to keep up a
variety of expensive homes at
fashionable resorts, and that we
are able to find pleasure in walk
ing when we cannot ride, and in
keeping at work when we cannot
take a vacation.
Happiness lies in the con-
seriousness of the privilege of
life. Until you realize apart
from all material considerations
what a privilege life is, you can
not be happy.
Say over to yourself a dozen Of
the most familiar names of
extravagantly wealthy people in
America, and think OF the mis-
cradle scandals and wretched
domestic conditions which have
been associated with some mem
Der of nearly everyone of these
families.
Then you will be able to rea-
son out how little wealth has to
do with real happiness.
Happiness must rest on char
acter, and character building lies
in the power Of the poorest man
on earth.
Build yourself a splendid man
sion of the mind; then, whether
you live in a flat or a mansion, in
a tent on the plains, in a tene-
ment in the city or in a cottage
by the sea, you will know the
secret of happiness.
And the world is full OF New
Thought. literature, which is a
good foundation for happiness.
Read, think, live rightly, and
happiness must come. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox.

The Brandon News has in
several issues contained the ac-
tual production of molasses on
Rankin farms during the fall Of
1907. Some remarkable state
ments have been published, and
substantiated. In the last num-
Der of The News it is related
that A. G. Williams made It's
gallons from three-fourths of an
acre. At the market value Of
fifty cents a gallon, Mr.. Williams
was making an acre of land re-
turn him practically 500 per
year with little cultivation. A
negro named I. r. McAllister,
living near Brandon, belonging
to the well known family of Nc
Allister negroes who have been
prominent in their race for the
past forty years, took 154 gallons
of molasses from one-fourth an
acre. There is a farm near
Brandon running eight squads Of
negroes and the molasses used by
these laborers is made on the
place, without interfering with
the cultivation of other crops.
With all these facts staring the
farmers in the face, and with a
demand here in Meridian for so, :
600 gallons of the genuine open
pan molasses, the tillers of the
soil continue to buy twenty dol
lars worth of fertilizer in growing
a five bale crop of ten cent cotton.
Meridian Star.
The Star is wrong in the state
ment that this McAllister be-
longs to the well-known negro
family of that name. This one
is black, and makes molasses,
the others are cream to yellow
and teach school and hold federal
Offices.

The News publishes a call this
week signed by S. L. Hicks and
S. D. Ward, both negroes, for a
Republican meeting. AS the ne
groe does not vote it is of small
concern whether they meet or not.
Mississippi will forever more be
ruled by her white citizens who
pay the taxes, own the land and
do nearly all the work these days.
The white republican ofice-hold-
ers will manage the delegation
from this state and it's vote will
go Roosevelt's way, even if the
price is high. The negroe holds
the balance Of power in several
northern states and the black
man there will demand and re-
ceive cash or other consideration
before the election. 1t was a
cruel thing to the people of the
south to have the negro given the
right to vote, but it was infinitely
worse for the negro himself, for
he has never used it only for
what he believed the most harm
full to the white man of the south,
who has befrended him far. more
than he deserved, and who is
beginning to feel that the black
man should be held to a strict
account for all his acts without
overlooking on any account of his
being 'only a negro" The right
to vote spoiled those reared since
the war and now that they take
no part in elections in most of the
southern states and many are go
ing northward, it will not be long
before they are estimated there
at their real value, with the re-
suit that they will be cut out
everywhere. There will be some
kicking at the state convention
to select delegates to Chicago to
nominate a candidate for presi-
dent, as the negro to a man, I'M
less it's an Office holder, wants
Foraker nominated; not that he
believes the negro soldiers were
innocent as claimed by the Ohio
an, for he knows they did, and he
also knows that Foraker believes
they did, but the negro wants to
because he believes Foraker will
go to any extreme to hold the
vote. Let the row be a big one,
and as Mississippi has freed her
self of such trouble, she can look
on serenely while the man north
Of the Ohio river takes the bitter
pill he prepared for the south.

Gunshots to be Made NOiseless.

Hiram Percy Maxim, son of
Sir Hiram Maxim, inventor of
the machine gun which bears his
name, has secured patents for
a silent firearm. 1t is announced
that by the use of the device
patented the discharge of any
frearm, from the smallest pistol
to the largest gun, is rendered
practically noiseless.
The invention consists of the
use of a device similar to the
"muffller' used on automobiles
to deaden the noise of the con-
slant explosions by which the
gasoline engine is operated. It
is in the shape of a muh1er
attached to the muzzle of the
frearm through which the gases
which drive out the bullet or the
shell are allowed to escape
gradually without the effect of
an explosion.
