Presently the horse stood still, as

suddenly plunged away on a dead

raced, then spread out his legs and
slid, in the budding hope that his rider
might continue on, but in this he was
bitterly disappointed He felt the
agony of a cruel curb that gripped his

safely out is still third. Hav.
ing taken the plunge, Richard
Wllllams was now at leisure to con-
template the deeps in which he found
himself. Here he was in a strange
house under borrowed name and IT,
tie, with little knowledge or expert
ence to enable him to carry off the i'm
position successfully. True, from his
associations with the earl in Texas he
could recall some of the Englishman's
oddities Of speech and manner, to
Which his own soft southern accent
readily accommodated itself, but this
was fimsy scaffolding by which to
build successful fraud. Though we'll
educated, Richards environment had
afforded him small opportunity to be-
come familiar with the manners of DO
lite society, and his knowledge Of Eng
land and English customs, like that of
many better Informed Americans, was
meager On the other hand, he had
plenty of common sense. much Of his
fathers native shrewdness, a fund of
ready wit, cool courage in an emer-
gency and in general nerve enough to
brazen out the affair until such a time
as he might see fit to make a clean
breast of it and trust the rest to luck.
Having made his preparations for
luncheon, he was pacing up and down
the rooms which had been assigned to
him, thoughtfully turning the matter
over in his mind, when a servant an

The Child Labor Law
Reply to Col. I. S. Haynie

THE reason that the Child Labor
Crusaders direct their energies
against the cotton mills and fac
tories rather than against the farms,
is a simple one. 1t requires but
little knowledge of child nature to
understand that the vigorous,
health-giving exercise on the farm,
where every muscle of the body is
called into action, where the lungs
are filled with fresh pure air (even
though the sun does not always
Shine), and the mind is open to
Natures teachings, will produce
healthier physical and mental re-
suits than will labor under the de-
pressing conditions which prevail
in the mill There the air is filled
with lint, and foul from the fact
that the windows are necessarily
closed, the ears are deafened by
the noise Of the looms, the body
tense, and the nerves strained to
the utmost.
ut is the purpose of education to
improve the whole, and not part
of the child. Every intelligent
teacher appreciates the Importance
of training the hand, the heart, and
the head. They do not believe in
training the hand, however, to
the exclusion Of the heart and the
head. Can we expect those little
ones whose hands have been
training in the mills from 6 A. M.
to 6 P. NJ, to respond very eagerly
to the effort to train the head during
the remaining hours2
1t is a sad fact that very few
Of the--c4ildren employed in the
mills of Mississippi can read intelli-
gently. Does Mississippi want a
white citizenship that cannot read
the constitutions Not even tho

work a serious hardship upon the
widows who were engaged in the
saloon business. Is it just to
allow these widows to coin the
future health and usefulness of
their small children for meagre
present support? Would they not
better accept assistance from the
more fortunate members of the
community in which they live for
few years until such time
as the children may be able, in
justice to themselves, to support
the mother? Is it just to deprive
the child Of the God given privilege
of fresh air and sunshine, and Of the
state-given privilege of the public
school2
Now, as to who we are, and
who is paying our expenses
these questions seem somewhat ir-
relevant to me, but if Col. Thomas
S. Haynie would like to know, we
have no manner of reason for with
holding our names, post-office adj
dresses, and the assurance that
each and every woman of us is en-
tirely dependent upon our respec-
tive and respected husbands for
our expenses. We pride ourselves
too, upon the further fact that each
woman of the Child Labor Com
mittee is a Mississippian, born and
bred. Furthermore, it has been
our observation that MississippianS
as a rule, do not feel less concern
for the welfare of their children
and their commonwealth than dc
good men and good women of other
localities.

Since it has been pretty conclu

1t is much better to buy a high
grade Of acid phosphate and cotton
seed meal and mix them in the
proper proportion at home. At
present the market value Of nitro
gen is 18 cents per pound, and that
Of phosphoric acid andNpotash six
cents each per pound. Taking
these values as a basis, we can easi-
" figure out the saving effected by

anteed relative value Of $3.50 per
ton. It's guaranteed analysis
shows it to contain 5 per cent. avail
able phosphoric acid, / .65 per cent.
nitrogen, and 200 per cent. potash.
Since we do not need this potash,
we had better mix acid phosphate
and meal at home in the proportion
to get the desired amounts of nj
trogen and phosphoric acid. High
grade meal analyzing 6 per cent
nitrogen is probably retailing an OF
average at $500 per ton, or SIZE
per hundred pounds. High-grad,
16 per cent. acid phosphate is cost
i ing members Of the Union, under

Moreover, it is 617 lbs lighter in

thing in freight rates and where
county roads are as bad as they
usually are at this season.
Buy High Grade Goods.
1t pays to buy the highest grade
Of phosphate and meal. You can
not afford to buy and pay freight
on the sand and dirt that are a part
of every low grade fertilizer Re-
member that you are buying plant

er can you afford to buy the trash

part of every low-grade meal. Ii

will cost you $500 per ton, while
a 16 per cent. grade will only cost
$1,000 per ton, thus showing a
clear advantage Of S1.OO per ton Of
the high grade acid over the lower
grade goods.
Proportion of Meal and Phosphate
for Different Soils and Crops.
Too many farmers have been
content to buy fertilizers on the ton
basis without paying any attention
to their constituents, the soils to
be fertilized, or the crops to be
grown. So in mixing acid phos-
phate and meal these governing
factors must be remembered, and

ALL THERE IS TO 1T.

After reading thru column upon
column of TRADE about the "Cunmins-
Williams Taft" letter, this is all any
honest man can make out of it:
/. Cummins had no connection what
ever with it, hence the use of his name
is just plain lying.
2. Williams wrote what he believed
to be the situation under promise of
confidential correspondence and put
things more plainly than he would
have done for publication, but said
nothing for which he is now ashamed.
3. Court Boyd was cur enough to
exhibit the letter to Julian Richards
and LATE Young, who used it as COM
ing from Cummins because the things
which private citizen could say with
impunity would appear unseemly 1T
written by the governor of a state and
leader Of large political following.
4. Neither Taft nor his manager
gave out information as to the letter,
and Williams offers the correct and
original copy for publication if LATE
and his coterie Of anti-Cummins
will agree to publish it
in full, but so far has no takers.
