Dangerous Occupations.

The Labor Bureau has been
gathering statistics, showing the
dangers incident to various avo-
cations and how those engaged
therein are affected. Stone cut
tiers are prone to consumption
and miners have black lung;
mirror workers suffer from ner-
vous trembling, while copper
workers get jaundice; laborers in
match factories lose their teeth,
lead workers get lead habit; bak-
ers are rated among those whose
occupation is dangerous. Foun-
derers have some queer dlstem-
pers; even blowing instruments
in a brass band produces a pet
malady, as well as running the
nerves of the neighbors. Cooks
are said to have short duration
of life, which is a penalty for
killing the consumers with their
poorly prepared food; telegraph
ers have fatigue neurosis, and
nearly everything one does In
the shape of work has it's dam
gers, even the foreign nobleman
who assiduously works his tongue
until he gathers a crop of Ameri-
can dollars along with some
foolish American girl, finds that
that trade has its drawbacks.
The best thing to do is to settle
down in Brandon where no one
has to work very hard and can
make a living easy; where there
is such a poor baseball team, that
it doesn't deserve the name, and
hardly ever bothers any one;
with no brass band to disturb
your slumbers; with politics
never discussed; making it an
ideal place to reside, and if you
can't make it here move to Jack
son, get rich and run for office.

How Woman Defeats Her Own
Ends.

A very handsome young
widow, whose beauty had made
her belle since her debut, dis
gusted a party Of young men anc
women at the house of a friend,
where all were being entertained
by continual boastful references
to her life of conquest. ) Every
man fled from a tete-a-tete with
her, and all of the other women
breathed a sigh of relief when
she left the room.
In delightful contrast, an &C
knowledged beauty, visiting at
the same house a short time
afterward, insisted on talking
about other women's charms and
power of fascination, and passed
lightly over any references to
her own evident proves. AS a
consequence, she left every man
and woman in the place her de-
voted champion.
Of all subjects in the world,
this subject of the attraction of
the sexes is the one needing the
utmost delicacy and tact. Yet
of all subjects it is the one most
carelessly, coarsely or heedlessly
handled by the, average young
woman of today.
Mothers rarely instruct their
daughters in delicacy and con-
sideration for the feelings of
their admirers when talking of
them. A large percentage of
cultured women encourage their
daughters to boast Of their
achievements in the battlefield
of Cupid.
Yet how indignant these same
mothers would become were any
other woman to boast of having
made her son a hopeless captive!
How indignant many a belle be-
comes if some woman speaks of
her brother as a rejected sutton!
Good breeding and Christianity
ought to reveal themselves in
these matters, as we'll as in
church attendance and deeds OF
charity.
Remember the Golden Rule
when talking Of other women's
sons or brothers. Ella Wheeler
Wilcox.

Five were killed and two in
jured in an automobile wreck
near Burlingame, Gala, Tuesday.
Better stick to the old buggy and
slow horse and not flirt with the
machine, for even sober old boys
get gay when the auto habit is
acquired and each wants the
speed record pinned to his car.
Run as they should be they are
useful, but at breakneck speed
are dangerous to occupants, to
pedestrians and brighten teams.
Loss of life does not seem to
deter others from acting crazy in
driving them fast.

CONTINUED next week.

Nearly everybody knows by
this time that Brandon is to have
a new ginning plant for this
seasons crop, but we doubt if
many have any idea Of how COM
plete and up to date that plant
is. The News man had the
pleasure a few days ago Of look
ing over the plant in company
with two of the officers of the
Gin Compress Company.
This Company has bought and
built with the single idea of
having everything first class and
up-to-date, and the results are
there to show for themselves.
"A man who is in a position to
know, said the plant was the
finest in the state for its size.
In the first place they have
ample power, a 100 horse power
boiler and rs horse power engine,
both of the finest make. The
boiler is built for coal or wood,
saw dust or shavings. Then
they have a hot water heater and
condenser, that takes all the
lime and impurities out of the
water making the life of the
boiler much longer, and by heat
ing the feed water to steam heat
before entering the boiler does
away with the possibility of ever
blowing up, The boiler is fed by
both duplex pump and a large
| injector, SO that one will always
be ready for work.
The recent rains have filled up
their pond with rain water
sufficient to run them for two
seasons, thus removing the last
doubt as to their being ready for
the first bale. Everything about
the plant is now completed ex-
cept the warehouse, which will
be commenced this week and
rushed to completion. In the
warehouse a hydraulic compress,
of a new design, the first one Of
the kind to be built, will be in
stalled and will be Of sufficient
capacity to recompress all the
cotton raised in Rankin county
should the planters bring it to
Brandon for sale. With this
compress in their warehouse,
buyers will come here from
Vicksburg, Meridian and even
New Orleans and buy cotton
direct from the planters at the
highest market price, paying for
same on the spot.

"A Woman Will Have Her Way"
Declares Parent in Discuss

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 3.-For
daughters matrimonial complications
have caused him much worry, has
broken silence, and II an interview
admitted hat Miss Helen Maloney
would in all probability become the
bride of Samuel Clarkson, the English
man with whom she eloped, If the re-
suit of the annulment proceedings Low
pending against Arthur Osborne make
it possible.
At the same time Mr.. Maloney had
only words of praise for young Os-
borne, who, when a Princeton student,
went through a marriage ceremons
with the heiress before William Fl.
Boyd, a justice of the peace, at Nam
aroneck.
osborne is a prince" declared Mr..
Maloney, "and one of the finest fel ows
I ever knew. Throughout this whole
affair he has conducted himself in a
way to win my respect and the respect
of the world when the true state of af
fairs is known.
"A woman will have her way" lie
said, smilingly, when asked If his
daughter intended to marry Clarkson.
The report of Daniel f. Cohalan, tie
referee appointed to determine the le-
gality of Helen Maloney's marriage to
Osborne, is expected in a few days.
Osborne, it Is known, has no wish t.
consider the marriage binding. Even
II 1t were declared so, it is said that he
and the young heiress would never be
reconciled.
