NAL, and not always so very superior
at that The author Of the Epistle to
the Hebrews calls Esau "a profane
person, who for one morsel Of meat
sold his birthright." "Profane"
means not blasphemous, but simply
secular, a man who is not touched to
fine issues, Judging things by coarse
earthly standards, without spiritual
aspiration or insight, feeling every
sting Of flesh keenly, but with 20
sting of soul toward God. Bold and
manly and generous and with many
splendid constitutional virtues he may
be; but the man himself lacks sus-
ceptibility 70 the highest motives Of
life. He is easily bent by every wind
fense to animal appetite. He is capa-
BILE Of despising the intangible bless
ing of such a thing as birthright,
even though he feel it to be holy
thing, because he cannot Withstand
present need. A profane, secular
person as Esau. is the judgment o.
the New Testament.
This scene where he surrenders his
birthright did not settle the destiny
OF the two brothers.; a compact like
this could not stand good forever, and
in some magical way substitute Jacob
for Esau in the line of Gods great
religious purpose. But this scene,
though it did not settle their destiny
in that sense, revealed their charac-
ter, the one essential thing which
was necessary for the spiritual sue
cession to Abraham; and Esau failed
here in this test as he would fail
anywhere. His question to reassure
himself, What profit shall this BIRTH
right do to me-" reveals the bent Of
his life, and explains mis- failure. True

CROP CONDITION
 VERY MUCH MIXED Mississippi Gotten Is Short and
 Corn Crop Is Good PICKING IS PROGRESSING State Farms Will Yield Fair crops-No Word Is Yet Received of Will
 sorsby, Who Killed h.
 spector Fitzgerald.
PICKING IS PROGRESSING

Jackson, October 6.-(Speeial.) )-Col Le- Roy Taylor. member of the board of trustees of the state penitentiary, spent the day in the city, having arrived day ahead of the regular monthly meet ing, but having just completed a tour of inspection of the several state farms as he is required by law to do once a month.
 Colonel Taylor is an old and experienced farmer and his statement of the condi- tion of crops may be relied upon. He says that he found the cotton crop has deteriorated about 20 per cent since the 1st of August and that instead of mak- ing 55OO. or 6000 bales of cotton was promised two months ago, he believes the state will make about 450O. The 6500 acres devoted to cotton on the big farm in Sunflower county promised two months ago to make one bale per acre and now it will do well to make three-fourths of a bale per acre. There is land that is going to make bale to the acre says Colonel Taylor but the most of it will fall far short of that and a great deal of it will not turn out more than one-half bale per acre.
 Picking and ginning is progressing nicely and the gin congresses recently inaugurated turn out just as fine bale of cotton as any man need want to see-a great improvement over the old square bale and ready for shipment to any seaport in the world.
 The corn crop, Colonel Taylor reports as being the finest he ever saw. About 5000 acres of the Sunflower farm are devoted to corn and peas this year and he is confident 100000 bushels will be crib bed and that the state will have 5000 bushels of good corn to sell
 In addition to corn and cotton the state farms have made a great. deal of hay, peas, potatoes and cane and from the latter a great many gallons of fine mo- lasses will be made.
 These conditions exist not onfs% on the Sunflower farm but on the Belmont, Oak ley and Rankin farms. The cotton crop on the Oakley farm, Colonel Taylor de- clares to be the best that has ever been produced there and he seems to regret as do other members of the board of trustees that a greater acreage was not put to cotton on that place.
 The worms and the wet weather in August damaged the cotton crop very much but Colonel Taylor is of the opin- ion that there is going to be enough left for the state to get her share and roll up a nice profit by the time all is gath cred and marketed.

Another day has passed with no word or clue to the whereabouts of the mur- derer of Postoffice Inspector Fitzgerald, but the impression still prevails that he is in hiding in Hipds county, waiting till the worst of the storm blows over, when he will make his way, if possi- ble, to foreign parts.
 The same is true of Austin E. Fergu- son, the slayer of the woman, Edna Max well. alias Holden, but it is not be- leved that he can remain in hiding long, being too well marked with great scar down the center of his face, caused 'by a knife wound through the nose and upper lip.
 In view of the fact that the woman had pistol in her hand it is stated by friends of Ferguson that his defense will be self-defense, though she did not fire shot The pistol was firmly clinched in her right hand two hours after she was killed, but it had not been fired, and the self-defense theory will not go far with the average man who may be placed on the jury.
 Governor Noel has offered reward Of $50 for Ferguson, and in the event he is hiding in Copah county, his old home, he will doubtless be shown up in a few days. There is a rumor here to the eff feet that Ferguson was badly injured when he jumped from the moving train near Crystal Springs, but that is hardly true, as he is a switchman and familiar with such jumps

A. D. Campbell has just returned from a business trip through Illinois where he has been trying to interest men or means in Mississippi lands and finds that many of them are already holders of goodly tracts down this way, and that others are only awaiting an opportunity to buy.
 MT. Campbell discovered that the people of the middle west are just beginning to realize and to appreciate the wonderful natural resources of the south, and to consider farming lands in this section worth the little money it takes to buy them The Illinois Central railroad has been hammering the truth into the teem- ing millions along it's lines in the mid dle and northwest for years, and has finally started the tide in this direction Thousands of sturdy western farmers are settling here every year. and 1t is pre- dicted that from now on they will come in even greater numbers.
 Among the Confederate veterans in this city today. en route to the reunion at Greenwood, was Col. Lamar Fontaine, the greatest of story tellers and most en- tertaining of all who may sit around the camp fires at Greenwood on the sth and Sth Colonel Fontaine is we'll preserved man of perhaps 70 years of age: wears the Confederate gray to this good day and is proud of the record he made in the war between the states. He is the scout and sharpshooter who killed so many Yankees from one hid ing place that General Lee sent him word to quit before he exterminated the federal army.
