MAYHEM MATTERS.

We wish to thank our friend,
johnnie" for his kindness in pen
ming some of Mayhew's most impor-
tant news items and sending same to
The Dispatch We were proud to
have him and Major Rowan with us
and want them to come again.
Brother Johnnie" mentioned the
building material for the new depot
being out on the ground, We are
proud to say that most of that ma
terial is now "off the ground" and
in the air. Yes; the depot is nearing
completion and bids fair to make a
neat and comfortable little structure.
We are delighted to learn that Mr..
c. L. Smith, Mayhew's retiring mer-
chant, will remain a resident of the
town. Mr. Smith is not in very good
health, and it was for the advantage
of outdoor work that he sold his
store. He will make farming his oc-
cupation for this year, at least. We
wish him much success in this new
work, and hope his health might be
greatly improved thereby.
Messrs. e. M. Chapman and w. G..

The modern home of today is more
or less a combination of different

STREET SPRINKLING-


Elsewhere we present a strong
communication dealing with the
question of street sprinkling. The
Dispatch has used up some several
columns of print in an effort to ger
the City Council to undertake this
work and that our efforts are bear
ing fruit is shown by the fast grow
ing sentiment favoring this solution
of the dust problem.
It does seem rifle singular that
a council, whose members are as wise
and as progressive as the present
council are, and Mayor, who is as
anxious TO give TO the people a fine
administration as the present chief
executive is, should be Indifferent to
the needs of the city in this impor-
tant matter
The city spends thousands of dol
lars each year for the comfort and
convenience of its citizens, yet the all
important dust problem remains un-
solved. We cannot understand it for
its solution does not involve any such
great expense or any such great work.
All the city has to do is to buy the
equipment and put the sprinklers to
work upon those thoroughfares Sc
lected as needing sprinkling most
and the question is solved. The
Street Commissioner could superin-
tend the work and with little addi-
tional expense or work.
For the dust nuisance to be salts
factoriIy solved it will be necessary
for the city to do the work This has
proven the only satisfactory solution
of the problem which is a part-and
an important part-of every city gov
ernment in the land.
Are our city officers less progress
sive than other cities? Can they
take hold of the question and get it
settled? Is it such great problem
that they shrink from it? The pres
ent street sprinkling equipment could
be purchased and thus no private cit
izen would be made to lose thereby.
The thousands who suffer from the
dust nuisance, the merchants who
have hundreds Of dollars worth of
destroyed and damaged
every month, the pedestrians and
those who have vehicles and who are
annoyed with the clouds Of binding,
disease bearing dust, should make
their voices heard in the matter
Once the people take hold the
memb of the Council viii soon
follow. Read the communication
presented in this issue and raise your
voice in behalf Of The City Beauti-
full"

The stringency of the times has
put many an enterprise to the bad
and the newspaper business, which
IS but the reflex Of every other line
Of commercial activity, has not been
without its drawbacks. The Green
vile Times, a morning daily publi-
cation at Greenyille, whose editor,
H. T. Crosby, gave up his life in an
effort to keep it going, has suspended
and it is intimated that it is in such
financial troubles that it will not soon
recover. The attempt to publish a
daily paper in the city of GreenvilIe
upon the scale which the Times was
undertaking was a mistake and the
usual result has attended it. It is to
be hoped that the Times will resume
as a weekly.

ARTESIA.

One day not long since one of the
| little Johnnies and kept talking and
/ talking and the little Johnnie said
Paw, old man Bat Williams is the
! best man I ever saw" Right. my
son. We have few such men as Bat
Williams Don't "cuss," don't fight
booze, don't talk bad talk about his
neighbors; in fact, he doesn't do any
thing mean. Besides being an up
right, honorable gentleman, he is a
frst-cIass farmer and manager On
our small farms in the sandy land
a bad farmer is a rare thing and on
our large prairie farms a good farm
er is a rare yarmint. Of course we
have some men who succeed at the
business who are not good farmers.
Now I am going to put my finger
on the best farmer in Lowndes county
west Of the river and give my rea-
sons for so saying. In my judgment
Mr.. T. +. SwoOpe is the best farmer
in this country. As an overseer he
made good crops, kept his farm in
good fix, kept his labor under good
control and gave thorough satisfac-
ton to his employer. A few years
ago he was sas poor as the average
overseer who is as poor as the pro-
verbal church mouse and now he
in the county and he has made the
money on these farms He has,
without exception, the prettiest and
most comfortable country homes in
Eastern Mississippi. But Mrs. Swoope
is to be heard from in this round up.
For industry, economy and the man
agement of home, Mrs. Swoope has
few equals. The sales from her
dairy and poultry yard has often ex-
ceeded the profits of some of our
large farms.
Mrs. Johnnie on her return from
visit to her daughters, Mesdames
Boyd and Herndon in Houston, Miss,
slapped me on the back and said:
"Old man, I'll tell you what / think
about the 2 z cent railroad fare.
saw some ladies buying tickets and
they would have weighed twice as
much as 1 and their tickets cost the
same. think every passenger should
be weighed and charged per pound
as freight. The legislature should
enact law making the rate ? cents
hundred pounds. then l could go
for cents a mile and these 200
Founders would have TO pay 4 cents.
Such law as this would be consti-
tutionaI sure.
When the public came in contact
with a clever accommodating rail-
road man they just fall in love with
him. Everybody wants to ride with
Conductor Rodgers on the Montgom-
cry division. He is jolly and isn't too
mean and lazy TO set out the coach
stool for ladies to board his train.
Conductor Cozen is one of the best
men on this division. He seems TO
take pleasure in delivering freight in
good order and setting cars where
they can be loaded or un1oaded con
veniently.
There is one conductor on the III.
division that ought to have wheel
