Parkside Explains
Ellis Reeder. manager Of the Park
side team. gave out this statement
concerning the game:
The Parksidc baseball team went to
play tho strong dupont team. and after
SIX innings we quit on account Of the
bad umpiring that dupont gavo ms.
Parkside pulled off a double play in the
sixth inning and had both men out by
two feet, when the umpire called the
man on third safe. All through the
game he keT- roasting u.s. He also
save two men bases when thcy We're
out. If this is what the manager of the.
DUPONT calls a square deal. / wonder
what he calls a rotten deal Parkside
has been robbed of it's last three games
Ivy the fimp'res. and we won't stand for
1t again. If DUPONT wants to play
Parksidc we win play them a three
game series. but we want two umpircs.
Let them have one and we will choose
the other. Our man won't be one who
win call man out and then say that
he was safe as Mr.. Shultz- lid 1 will
leave it to the spectators to judge IL
the man was out atNhird
when the manager Of the Parksido
went to get the team guarantee he was
told that he could not have a cent.
They called that six innings a game
and would not give the people their
money back nor give us a guarantee.
II duPonts manager is any kind of
man he will give Parkside their money.
and If he does not, he viii not get
another game with us. If he is wise
/ he viii do it, for We carry the biggest
crowd of rooters in town. and 1t would
be money i'm his pocket. We will play
dupont three games for the champion
ship. I do not think that with two
umpires any team i'm town can best the
Parkside boys, and their rooters think
the same way"

PHYSICIAN IS LIABLE.
More Stringent Regulations on
Denatured Alcohol Pro-.
posed.

That both the physician, who
writes a prescription for de-
natured alcohol and the druggist
who prepares the prescription
and sells the medicine to the
patient are liable to criminal
prosecution, is held in a. decision
rendered by Commissioner of In
ternaI Revenue Capers.
The decision is the. result of
the action of some druggist who
prescribed denat,mated alcohol
for external medicinal purposes
not knowing that to do so is a
violation of the law. The de-
cision says in part;
THE second section of the law
regulating the sale and manu-
facture of denaturated alcohol
provides fine and Imprisonment
for any person who used de.
naturated alcohol for manu-
featuring any beverage or liquic
medicinal preparation or know
ingly sells any preparation made

Is bordered on the north and
west by Pearl river and ON the
south by Pelahatchie creek on
the east by Scott county.
The land is as fertile as i'm any
section of the county and winter
pastures along it's many streams
afford good grazing for large
numbers of live stock and the
forests of oak, beech and hick-
DRY often yield enough mast to
fatten droves of hogs. Some of
the largest yields of cotton, corn
and oats ever produced in Ran
kin county were made i'm beat 3.
It has several large bald prairies,
which are covered during the
summer with an excellent quail
ity of grass, which makes good
hay. 1t is productive when pro-
perly cultivated and being level
can be highly festilized without
the annual loss by washing rains.
Fannin has 4 stores, 2 gins, a
black smith shop, / saw mill
NEAR 2 churches and now that
a separate school district has
been formed, it hopes soon to
have a high school that will rank

Goshen Springs, Pisgah, Lees

E. S. Barksdale has recently

road will go up Pearl river vale,
and land bought at a fair pric,
today will surely advance il

Dairying.

M. c. Stubblefeld, w. F. Ow-
en-, O. L. McGilvra and C. E.
Martin are all engaged in dairy
ing in connection with other work
and nave succeeded well.
Few people in Brandon realize
the volume of business done. An
average of two hundred pounds
of butter is shipped each week to
Jackson and nets about Is cents
per pound.
One dairy of 20 COWS, grades
and common stock, ships about
80 pounds per week. The cost
of feed during the summer is Il
of the net returns of the butter
in the winter about half of the
butter receipts goes for feed.
The skim milk is worth for hog
feed from $500 to $500 a week.
The droppings are worth $1OO 90
per year as fertilizers, as there
is none better or more lasting
than droppings from cattle fed
on cotton seed meal or bulls. One
of the dairymen has this year
sin acres in cotton. which will
easily make a bale to the acre
and two years ago that land was
so poor that the six acres would
not have produced a 500 weight
paie. Inc parties all use seper-
ators, look carefully after the
feeding and milking, and send
their butter to market in nicely
nodded, | pound packages neatly
wrapped in butter paper, as fine
a color and as rich a flavor as
any from Elgin, or the famed
Goshen Valley of New York.
The one thing essential to sue
cess in dairying in this section is
regularity in feeding and milk
ing. The markets are near and
cannot we'll be over stocked with
the right kind Of butter and sue
cess is certain if the owner gives
it the proper attention. If you
want to engage in dairying there
is no better place than Brandon
to do so. Land is cheap here.

MAN IN THE NOON.
People of Many Different Lands
Have Myths About Him.

Of all the myths which have
sprung up around the moon be-
fore Galileo's telescope revealed
another world with lofty
mountains, deep valleys and vast
plains, the oldest and probably
the most familiar to us all is that
of it's human inhabitant.
Every nursery has heard the
story of the man who was found
by Moses gathering sticks on the
Sabbath, and condemned to
dwell in the moon until the end
of time.
Originating doubtless, in the
superficial resemblance of some
of the moon spots to man with
a bundle of sticks on his back, it
would be handed down by zeal
GUS Sabbatarians as an edifying
warning. 1t has even been re-
ferred to Biblical authority.
German nurses commonly vary
the tale by saying that the Of
fender was given the choice of
burning in the sun or freezing in
the moon, and that he preferred
a lunar frost to a solar furnace.
But in the Middle Ages, be-
fore Lutherans and Puritans had
superimposed the conception of
the Jewish Sabbath upon the
Christian Sunday, the crime thus
punished was theft.
1t is possible, however, that
the Man in the Moon" myth
may claiman even remoter an
tiquity. Primitive men had a
tendency to personify those nat
ural forces whose laws he could
not comprehend, his Imagination
endowed them with human force
and human feelings, and with
super-human knowledge and
power.
Hence the moon required a sex
and a gender, in Sanscrit and all
derlvations, except Greek and
Latin, and such modern langu-
ages las have come under the
classical influence, it is mascu-
line. And doubtless this is the
reason why the legendary s'Wo-
man in the Moon" is not nearly
so prevalent as the legendary
Man"
Be this as it may, it is certain
that in Tentonic fable we find
the moon inhabited by both
sexes. For, according to Mr..
our familiar nurse
ry rhyme about Jack and Jill is
derived from the Scandinavian
myth Of the two children, Hinki
and Bill, who We're taken up in
to the moon with their pole and |
as they were drawing
water.
They symbolic the waxing
and waning Of the moon, while |
The water they are carrying re- |
fers to the influence of the |
moons phases upon the rainfall. |
There is an ancient belief |
found in some Of the writers of |
the old Egyptians that the moon
IS an abode of departed spirits. |
And some Of the South Ameri-
can Indians still regard it as
their happy hunting ground, !"
