THE SLANDERER.

The most detestable person in
any community is the slanderer.
AS rule, he is a man of low breed
ing and brutal instincts, possess
ing a certain quantity of low, cum
ming and perverted sentlmentality
which so dwarfs the small trifle of
charity and decency that may
have been born in him, that the
virtuous when viewed through his
basilisk eyes become in his own
estimation and the honest hid
eous.
Such a person gloats with fiend-
ish glee if he can, perchance,
cast shadow of reproach upon a
spotless character, though it be
one to whom he makes fulsome
pretenses of friendship.

EARNESTNESS.

Lots of people make things go 10 this
world because they are in earnest. The
downright earnest man is the one
who accumulates the momentum that
sweeps him over obstacles. The fellow
who goes along with half heart, and
goes into things half in fun and half in
earnest, is the fellow who is down and
out at the final wind-up. Notice the
boy who plays foot ball seriously and
earnestly, and you will see that he is
the mainstay of the team. When he
tries to go through the line he is in
earnest about it, and he generally makes
his gain. When he tackles his man, he
does it seriously. He takes no chances,

A BURST OF ELOQUENCE.

Congressman ]. T. Hefin, Of Ala
bama, paid an eloquent tribute to cot
ton, in speech in the House recently,
that should find place in every scrap
book:
Mr.. Chairman, the attention of the
world is turned to the south when in
the spring of the year the farmer pre-
pares his soil and places seed III the
ground. Sunbeams dance on the sur
face, refreshing showers seek and lind
their hiding places, and 10 termination
begins. Little plants push the clods
away and smile on the sun. Gentle
Zephyrs kiss their tender faces and
breathe into them the message OF their
world mission. (Applause) We hear
the music of the hoe and the song OF
the happy plowman. Proud and grace
full the little stalks stand mantied in
leaves and ladened with squares. We
look again, and thousands OF white bios
SONS are nodding welcome to the gold
belted bees. In little while they are
rosy red, then they assume golden
hue, and finally fade and fall, leaving
behind them tiny green spheres. Bask-
ing in sunshine and revellng in shower,
these flourish until autumn winds whis
per to every full-grown boil, open,
Sesame" (Applause.) Then the cot
ton stalk filings its fleecy fiber to the
breeze and busy fingers pluck it from
the boil. Now we hear the hum of the
old cotton gin, the seed fall down on
the floor below and lint comes out in
swirls of snow. (Applause.) Yonder
at the cotton factory hard by the cot
ton field, we hear the tremulous voice
of industry in the concert Of whirling
spindles wooing the fiber into cloth, and
the finished product goes out upon the
pulsating tide of splendid commerce,
and cotton is King-King OF American
in all its ramifications, is
basis for the greatest manufacturing
interest in the world. prolonged
cheers and applause.)

A 25.FOOT SNAKE.

J. M. Javenal, who holds the
championship in handling heavy
dumb bells in America, was in our
city several hours Sunday, en-
route from Mexico to Shreveport.
He had with him the largest boa
constructor ever brought to this
country, his snakeship measuring
twenty-five feet III length and
weighs $50 pounds, and measured
IL inches across it's back few
feet from it's head. There is some
popularity about these reptiles
that few people know about, and
that is they only eat once every
six months. The next feeding sea-
son for this snake begins Old April
I'd and lasts nineteen days. Half
grown lambs and pigs ION the
half she'll" are his favorite dishes.

"REMINISCENCES.

A lady writer in the Madison
Madisonian, the past week, relates
this remlniscense:
"As Memorial Day rolls around,
it carries us back to the Zoos"
when our brave boys went out in
defense of their country.
On the Goth of April, 1861, the
citizens of the county met at the
court house square, where Miss
Rebecca Saffold presented flag
to the Home Guards in behalf of
the ladies of the Methodist Col
lege. Never did she look sweeter
than on that occasion, attired in
simple calico dress, with wide
black girdle.
She was responded to by Capt.
Andrews in some very feeling re-
marks. Ike Reese made a short
speech and presented Sergeant
Barrow with a sword, as token
of love from his pupils. Mr.. Bar
row returned thanks in a very ap-
propriate address.
After the ceremonies at the
court house, the company marched
to the depot to the tune, 1.-The
Girl l Left Behind Me " An i'm
mense concourse of the citizens
was present at the depot to wit
ness their departure. The occa-
sion was one Of deep, and yet most
melancholy, interest.
After fearful farewells, they
boarded the train for Augusta
where they were mustered into the
service of the Southern Confeder-
acy for three years"
The young girl who delivered the
flag AZ years ago lMrs. R. T. Mes
bitt) was, as a gray-haired woman,

that day, April 9th, 1908, in Ma

cises.

RICH OKLAHOMA INDIANS.

There has been 100000 paid
into the Indian agency at Musko-
gee during the first three months
of this year as royalty Oh oil taken
from the wells of Indian allottees.
At this rate, there will be $2,00O,-
600 for the year, or twice as much
as there was last year. The roy
atty represents about one-tenth OF
the oil sold, or a total of 500, 000,-
900 for the year. This includes
only leases on lands of Indians,
and does not take into account

would probably increase the totals

Gable dispatches from Honolulu
a day or two ago told of a big mass
meeting of Chinese held there and
adopting resolutions praying the
government to restrict or prohibit
immigration. The Chinese in Ha-

competition of further importa-
tions from their own native coun-

A WoMAN's PROTEST.

A man of Joplin, Mo-, was driv-
ing a team of sad-eyed horses,
hltched to wagon that contained
a heavy load, says the Emporia
(Kan.) Gazette. The wagon went
into mudhole and the horses
could not draw it out, although
they devoted all their energies and
talents to the task.
Then the man took large whip,
with a braided lash that would cut
through sheet iron, and proceeded
to fay his horses. He larruped
away until he was tired, and the
horses plunged and reared, but did
not move the load; 30 the patient
and strenuous driver took shovel
from the wagon and began pound
ing the horses ribs, keeping time,
time, time, in sort of Runic
rhyme.
With long and swinging strides
there came woman down the
street; she took in the situation at
a glance, and, without wasting time
in argument or expostulation, seiz-
ed the shovel and batted the man
over the head and knocked him
into the mudhole, and pounded
him around until he yelled for the
police.
If there should be any talk of
sending bouquet to that woman,
the Gazette" would like to con-
tribute few posies.

According to the Oklahoman, a
lady reporter of the Tussa World
was recently shocked because q
street carnival had an attraction
which was placarded, "For Men

in the paper. It developed that
the attraction consisted of a clothes

III this fleet We're welded into one

five miles long, more than a mile wide
and about mile deep. To load it

Names of Flowers.

1t is interesting to know how GER
tam flowers got their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
instance. Fuchsias We're so-called be-
cause they We're discovered by Leon
ard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl, who brought them from
Peru. The cameia was so called for
a missionary named Kamel, who
brought some magnificent specimens
o. the flower to France from Japan.
He called it the rose of Japan, but his
friends changed it to Camelia. Mag
nolias We're named in honor of Prof
Magnol de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful tree to France
from America and Asia. Because they
trembled with the wind is the meaning
of Anemones. The Latin word to
wash is lavare and lavender received
its name because the Roman put the
flowers into the water, when they
washed, to perfume their hands.
