Cocaine.

Everywhere evidence of the curse
OF cocaine IS apparent-nearly every
newspaper records some awful trag-
edy perpetrated by some man or wo-
man crazed with the drug. The use
of cocaine is alarmingly on the in
crease and threatens more damnation
TO the human race than all other evils
combined. Everywhere the moral
forces are inveighing against it, but
with little result. Judges of every
court deliver charges to suppress its
sale; newspapers write against it,
preachers preach against it; public
sentiment, the strongest force on
earth is against it-stiH it is sold.
Why? Because it is a commodity
that sells to its users without ques-
ton of price it carries the element
OF margin, profit money for which
men sell their own souls and demand
the souls of others. Is it not time to
call a halt on the sale of the drug?
Cannot the laws be stringent enough
and officers vigilant enough to put a
stop to a traffic that will curse many
a one and endanger the lives of as
many others? Surely, but how soon,
and when begin?

The Campaign SI.OO.

We are irforned BY Mr.. VII
liam Baker, President Of the
Bryan-Kern Club. that requests
have been sent to each member Of
the Club Committee to get busy in
soliciting contributions to the
Bryan-KerD fund. The Demo
cratic party is conducting a cam
paign OF education. and vast
quantities of literature are being
sent out. 1t takes money to pro-
vide this literature, to say nothing
of the expense of sending speak
ers into the doubtful states. OF
course, everybody knows these
speakers are not paid for their
service. 1t is a work of patriotism
with them, but their travelling ex-
penses must be paid. The Com
mittee has no resource for these
funds except contributions by the
people, and the Democratic party
is the the party of the people. 1t
is waging the most strenuous fight
in defence of their rights ever in its
history and is led by the greatest
living American with victory prom
ing to perch upon his banner Funds
are needed to make sure in the
crisis pending between now and
November. Almost every South
white man is a Democrat, a demo-
crat of that type that never says
die. a democrat that will always be
found waging battle for triumph of
the rights of the people over favor
tism to corporations and trusts.
Every white Monroe county citizen
is in the fight. 1t is every ones
fight and he has a work to do,
and but tive things that he can do;
one is to vote for Bryan, the other
is to contribute of his means that
others may be educated to vote for
him also. Then lay aside all petit
preference or oppositions you may
have as to the manner of forward
ing your contribution, and pay it
to the first coed democrat who viii
get it int5 the hands of the Com
mi.tee. The Weekly hopes that
every democrat in Monroe county
will pay at least S1OO to the
Bryan-Kern fund and contribute it
at once. The campaign is being
waged and must be finished with
in the next three months. If your
contribution gets in too late, it will
fail of its mission and might sub
ject the country to four more years
of Republican misrule.

an anecdote is told of Chief Jus
tice John Marshall. Returning one
afternoon from his farm near Rich
mond, Va, to his home in that
city the hub of his wheel caught on
a small sapling growing by the
roadside. After striving unsuccess-
fully for some moments to extri-
cate the wheel, he heard the sound
of an axe in the woods and saw a
negro man approaching Hailing
him, he said If you viii get that
axe and cut down this tree, III
give you a dollar. - | en- git yer
by thout no axe, eff OATS all, yer

Judge. The man simply backed
the horse until the wheel was clear
of the sapling, and then brought
the vehicle safely around it. You
don't charge a dollar for that do

justice. No, massa, but its wuf a
dollar to larn some folks sense. -
The darkey got his dollar without

Killing at AmOry.

News reachen here, Wednesday,
that Mr.. VIM. Nix, a respected
citizen of Amory, had killed Bud
Morgan, "a livery stable keeper, also,
of that place. The shooting oc-
Cured Wednesday morning and was
actuated (as rumor has it, by insult
offered by the deceased to one of
the female members of Mr.. Nix 6
family. The weapon employed
was a double barrel shot gun, both
barrels being emptied into Morgan S
body killing him instantly. Mr.. Nor
gan was white man reared in this
county in the vicinity of Tubbs
Cross Roads. Mr.. Nix, up to short
time ago, was citizen of Aber-
deem and enjoyed the respect and
confidence of this community.
The taking of human life under all
circumstances is deplorable, but
there are conditions under which it
is justifiable and even excused by the
law. Self preservation and defense
of the honor of the home are two
cases in point. The first of these
is justified by the law, the second
by society and overwhelming public
sentiment A mans home is his
castle. It's domain is consecrated
ground. When invaded by that
which seeks to destroy its purity
and sanctity, the laws of God and
man and all else beside, if not in
letter, in sentiment does and will
excuse the man in defending his
home to the uttermost limit.
Mr. Nix was brought to Aber-
deem Wednesday morning. given
preliminary trial, bonded in $1,000
bail and returned to Amory the
same day.

Monroe County Alfalfa Growers
Association,

The growing of alfalfa is assuming
such proportions IN the county. and
has proven such q satisfactory crop,
especially on our prairie soil, that a
number Of Monroe land owners got
together at the State Farmers Insti-
tute held at the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College, last week, and or
ganized for the purpose of promoting
alfalfa growing as an industry and OF
creating a market for the product.
The organization is to be known as
the Monroe County Alfalfa Growers
Association. and was differed as fol-
lows:
DIR. j. c. Gathings President.
DR.. w w. Watkins-Vi President.
w. II. Henderson Sec'y and Treas.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to negotiate freight rates to
the various alfalfa markets-Dr. j. c.
Gathings, DIR. w. W. Watkins, John
R. Baker, G. r. Sykes, DIV. Robins.
The Association enrolled the follow
ing members: j. G. Gathings, Wv.
Watkins, w. H. Henderson, john r.
Baker, John Schmidt, ID. w. Robins,
w B. Roberds, G. r. Sykes, o. F.
Vaughn, NJ. w. Gathings. Adam Car
Isle. j. NJ. Gathings, B. K. Foster.
The association invites all growers
of alfalfa TO become members and CO.
operate with it in making the indus
try paying one, and at the same
time in considerable degree, solving
the labor question, which is growing
more and more complex each year.
The Weekly believes that the grow
/ ing of alfalfa in the prairie sections
/ of Mississippi, and in all other lime
I lands as for that matter, will accom-
/ plish more in reduction of acreage to
/ cotton than the efforts of all associa-
tions organized for decreasing the
yield of cotton combined. 1t further
/ believes that if the industry is adopt
ed to the full limit of lands suited
therefor, that much desired revolu-
ton in the handling of lands, labor
and crops is in store for the people of
Mississippi. The producer of cotton
on lands where alfalfa can not be
grown profitably is as much concern
ed in the success of alfalfa growing
as the raiser of the product himself.
/ Every acre of land now planted to
cotton that is planted to alfalfa re-
duces the cotton acreage that much
and correspondingly reduces the size
of the crop, bringing the benefit of a
better price for cotton. also, alfalfa
growing demands little labor; cotton
growing demands much. The releas-
ing of large per cent. of labor in the
growing of alfalfa would place that
much more labor at the disposal of
the cotton producer, and under con-
ditions incomparably more favorable
than those now existing. The sandy
land farmer can then bid the prairie
and lime land growers of alfalfa God
speed and hope that they may soon
cover the face of the prairies with a
mantle of living green.

What it Teaches

The attendance at the Home Man
ufacturers' Exposition in session at
New Orleans has been large. In 9th
er respects it has been as beneficial
as was expected. Primarily, the ben
eft is TO New Orleans increasing her
trade in articles manufactured there
and opening up the business season
much earlier than usual. Incidentally
the meeting win prove advantageous
to all the Southland, inasmuch as it
will bring to the notice of every sec
ton the possibility of making the
South the ideal manufacturing center
of America.
The numerous industries at New
Orleans, where almost every manu-
featured article is produced at mini
mum cost and in excellent finish,
demonstrates that every Southern
State could initiate her example with
profit The display of the finished
product in the city where it is made,
is, perhaps, the strongest feature of
the gathering. for the reason that it
appeals to the visitor from the stand
point of local interest and teaches
him a lesson not altogether unmixed
with industrial patriotism.

Night Riders.

Night riders ale becoming evil
dent in Mississippi. No later than
last week communications signed
Night Riders were sent ginners
at Shubuta and Heidelberg, warn
ing them to shut down their gins
until notified to resume. 1t APP
pears that ignorance exists IN the
craniums of some of our Mississippi
people. If it were not so and of
the densest character, no such COM
munications would be charged
against them. The authors of
there threats, doubtless. believe
that if no cotton were ginned early
in the season that the world would
believe that little cotton was raised
and the price would accordingly
soar skyward The fact, is that the
reports furnished by the ginners
and promulgated by the govern
ment have done more to keep cot
ton at near its true value than any
other agency employed. There is
no occasion for the Night Rider in
Mississippi. and in whatever local.
ty he crops out should be promptly
batted out-either by force or edu-
cation as the remedy may suit.

of Ex-Governor Vardaman as easily
as water flows down hill, or leaps
in terrific display as lighting darts
from the clouds. If Mr.. Vardaman
is in placid mood, his sentences are
placid and beautiful. If perturhed
