Developing Leadership.

Miss Jennie Buell. secretary of
Michigan state grange. very truly says
that one of the great demonstrations of
organization among farmer folk in the
past forty years has been the discovery
and turning TO account of leaders
among themselves. Pre-eminent lead
ers, it Is perhaps true, are born, not
made. But many who might be real
leaders never develop the ability, and
many others never are given the right
bent. Their natural aggressiVeness
runs riot or To waste on worthless
ends 1t is not led out and schooled to
logical accomplishments.
The grange steps in right here and
offers the plan. the experience and the
incentive to the proper development OF
leadership. More than this. it Is the
mission of the grange to do this 1t is
a feature of grange opportunity that
presents itself as privilege rather
than as duty. However, the percep-
ton of this privilege does not usually
come in the primary grades of associ-
ated work. But when this opportu-
nifty of helping human lives blossom
and discover themselves is once real
lied ii is found to have a rare quality

TAXING AGRICULTURE.
National Master Bachelor Would Ex-
empt Growing Crops.

empt Growing Crops.
From an address by National Mas
ter Bachelor before the national con-
ference on taxation at Columbus. O.,
we make the following quotation:
From whatever point of view the
taxation of farm products is consid-
cred, the conclusion seems to me to be
inevitable that such taxation has no
redeeming features by which it can be
justified, and | would most respect
fully submit to this conference for its
consideration the proposition that the
public welfare would be advanced by
adopting generally some of the eXemp-
tions Of farm property now contained
in the laws of the several states So
that the following property should he
exempted in all the states
"First.-All growing crops anG all
crops for Il short period after harvest
ing.
''Second.-All animals raised for
food purposes under certain age.
"Third.--All farm work animals
should be declared to be tools Of indus
try and brought within the exemptions
now granted to tools, and the value Of
tool exemptions should be expanded so
as to include the value of such work
animals.
These exemptions, operating on all
alike, would benefit all the consumers
Of the country as well as farmers, thus
including the entire population"

COOPERATIVE STOKES.
Once They Were Numerous, but Com

Once They Were Numerous, but Com
paratively Few Now.
From the excellent report OF the
committee on cooperation of the New
Hampshire state grange we take the
following paragraph. The writer ar
CUES that the grange stores just filled
their mission and then went out OF
business to u large extent. During the
early days of the order its members
gave special attention to the business
ton was undertaken in buying and sell
ing. and great many cooperative
stores were opened. The fact that few
of these stores we're long lived has
been urged as showing that such CO.
operation was not successful. 1t is
true that some failed because of in
competent management. but generally
speaking these stores. which marked
n brief period of transition. proved
triumph for the principle they repre-
sented. Previous to the period of their
establishment the farmers have been
struggling for existence, while the mid
dlemen-that is. the tradesmen in the
towns-have been prospecting amazing
ly. At the close of the period the farmers
were growing wealthy in comparison.
while the tradesmen were engaged In
a fierce competitive battle for a liveli-
hood. The day of large profits in the
retail business had passed forever, and
rs the farmers could then afford to deal
with the tradesmen again the co-opera-
tive stores disappeared. leaving their
object fully accomplished"

THE GRANGE NAME,
An Influential Factor in Business
and Legislation.

National Master Bachelors Warning
to Those Who Would Benefit by the
Grange Name In Enterprises Outside
the Grange.
In his department in the National
Grange Organ in recent number Ma
tional Master Bachelor remarks that
as the grange Is fast becoming an in
fluential factor in social, educational
and financial affairs and also in legis-
lative affairs, both state and national,
the fair name of our organization must
be protected. There is and will con-
tinue to be, he says. great effort made
| by people with wares to sell and leg
islatiye matters to promote to in some
| way use the word grange in the name
adopted to designate their business or
| scheme in order to deceive the people
and draw support to the enterprises
| by causing them to be known as
grange enterprises. There is absolute
| ly no justification for this unless the
grange or some committee appointed
| by the grange has absolute authority
in the management.
TO be more specific, we may say
that an agricultural fair should not be
| known as grange fair unless its man.
agement is in the hands of the grange
or has been specifically Endorsed by
the grange having jurisdiction. \
store should not be known as grange
store unless conducted by the grange
or giving special rates TO members Of
| the grange through grange authority.
| A paper has no real authority for the
use of the word grange in its title un-
less its policy is directed by The or
ganization. but grange departments in
papers designed for other fields do not
come within this restriction, for they
| simply contain grange news and do
| not carry any policy or responsibility
| of the grange The use of the word
grange in the title Of banks without Il
| controlling interest in such banks hc-
ing in the hands of directors chosen
| by the grange. whereby special priv
! ileges would he secured TO members
of the grange, is an unauthorized and
| improper use of the fair name Of the
grange.
Other instances might De- cited ia
which wrong impressions are convey
ed and the name Of the grange placed
in great jeopardy by the use Of its
| name. In Il word. the name of our or
[ ganization should be restricted by ac-
| ton of the national grange to such
| enterprises as at least have their poll
cies dictated and their affairs directed
| by members of the grange in some Of
fetal capacity. for any other course in
case Of disaster would bring much
odium upon us. even though we have
no opportunity to prevent such disas-
ter. We do not undertake to say that
an agricultural fair, store, paper or
bank using the name grange Ia its
title should necessarily be financed by
the organization. but we do most en-
phatically assert that the use of the
name carries with 1t or should carry
with It the authority to dictate the pol
Hey and direct its general management.

The old passenger depot build
ing Of the /. G. Railroad was NOV

looking vnid where it has stood
for SO many years. The different
parts were moved by the Railroad
Company to Norfeid, McComb
and other points and will be util-
lied in repairing other buildings
as needed.
Up to the time the substantial
and spacious new /. q. Depot was
completed a few months ago, this
old building had been occupied by
the |. c. as a depot ever since the
latter part of the seventies. One
part of it was originally used as a
meat market and the other as a
Mayors office, where Mayor

lowing carpet-bag days.

Tuesday night in the disturbance
at the Inez Hotel, and who claim
ed that Ratcliff and Pritchard were

dred dollars, was fined $50 and

but 20 charges recorded on the
city docket against them, and af-
ter being seen around town a few
hours Wednesday afternoon, it is
the current report that they left
town that night to wait till the
clouds roll by.''
Mr.. Morrison, above referred
to, also had a rather strenuous
experience Thursday night while
waiting for the arrival of train
No. 2. He was accosted by some
young men about town and one
word after another followed till a
general fight was imminent. when
Policemen Meter and Bray came
on tho scene and were about to
get Morrison of to Jail when
compromise was effected by one
of his friends agreeing to stand
for bis appearance on a charge of
disorclerly conduct. Morrison was

The Leaders, esteemed friend,
Mr.. j. s. McDavid, of Malcum,
was a caller Thursday. Mr.. Me
David, like Prof. Edgar Green, is
warm defender of the piney
woods razor back hog. Mr.. Nc
David holds that the razor back,
unlike the fancy breeds of swine,
can not only outrun nigger with
an even start, = but that he has
other splendid points not possess
ed by the Berkshire, Poland
China, etc. With razor back
stock be says it is no trouble for
him to raise all the meat and lard
be needs every year, but that the
meat is firmer and sweeter than
that of the fancy breed of hogs.
This season, for instance, he SAYS
he butchered six razor backs
about 2 years old, raised on the
range and fed but little until fat
tening time, which averaged rs
pounds each.

On last Tuesday the boys Of
the Brookhaven High School went
to Crystal Springs to play the
High School boys there u game of
basket ball. The above is how it
resulted, although the Crystal
Springs team had two outside
players on it and one. of them a
man and a player of long exper-
ience. The BrookhaVen boys
had Crsytal Springs at their mer-
cy at every stage of the game, and
the warmness of the day alone
prevented the score from being
higher. Guess, King, Sasser,
Burns and Cupit were the boys
who we're representing Brook
haven. and they all played fine, in
fact, we might say that we had
five stars.
HundIey, Lotterhos, Smooily,
Dixon aud Rhymes we're the Crys-
tai Springs players, and they
played good also, but were sur
passed il every part of the game
