hay on the same land in one year.
Thus we can see that we can easily
grow a full supply of the best hays.
There is no better hay than lespede-
"a. Grab grass is also an excel
lent hay.
The question may arise as to
what kind of stock the cotton farm
ers in this county ought to raise.
| | will say, first Of all raise plenty
OF good hogs to supply the home
demand for all kinds of pork and
pork products. Many thousands of
dollars are annually sent from this
county to other sections of this
country for bacon, lard and other
pork products Oats, oats and
vetch mixed, rape, rape and red
clover mixed, will furnish hogs ex-
cellent fall winter and spring pas
lures. We can make two paintings
OF peas one an extra early variety
and one late variety at the same
time early in the spring for sum-
mer pastures. Bermuda, carpet,
crab and many other grasses will
furnish hogs excellent summer pas
lures. Plant peas boadcast in the
corn when it is laid by for the
hogs. Peanuts. chufas, sweet po.
tatoes. and turnips furnish cheap
feed for hogs. Plant sorghum in
May and broadcast ore bushel of
speckled peas per acre in it in June
and lay it by. Hogs will fatten
on this sorghum and peas. Give.
the hogs small amount of corn
just before killing time to harden
the meat and an excellent quality
of cheap pork will be the result.
Many thousands of dollars are
also annually sent out of this county
for mules. Now seventeen of as
fine mules as.I have seen anywhere
were raised on pastures and pea
vine hay. The colts obtained their
living entirely on lespedeza, car
pet, and Bermuda pastures from
March 1st to December 1st. Plent-
ty of pea vine hay was kept in
large racks from December 1st un-
til March 1st. Good pastures,
oat, pea vine, crab grass, lespedeza,
Bermuda, an other hays, make it
possible to raise mules in this coun-
ty for very little money. Now let
us not become excited and do rash
things Let us keep our farm la
borers, feed them mainly out of
our gardens and fields, plant lands
that mature an early crop of cotton,
put the rows about 6 inches wider
than cotton grows tall. thoroughly
pulverize the soil before planting,
run a harrow before and after the
planter, plant an early variety of
cotton from March 10th to April
10th, plant the seed about one. half
inch deep, run the smoothing har-
row diagonlly across the rows just
before the cotton comes up and
astride the rows asrsoon as it is up
to stand, use cultivator with
broad sweeps, SO as to work row
on both sides and half of each mid
die at one time every week, attach
a brush or smooth pole to the
Whiffietrees SO as to strike the cot
ton and cause the punctured squares
and some weevils to fall to the
ground and perish, pick up the first
crop or two of squares that fall off
if in wet weather, continue the cul-
tivation as late as possible and we
will become more prosperous as the
years go by.

AUDITOR SMITH CORRECTS AN ERROR.
The Merchants & Farmers Bank. Of
BrOOkhayen. Was Not Delinquent
in Sending in Their statement.

Auditors Office, Jackson, Miss,
Dec. 12, 1908.
Mr.. B. T. Hobbs, Editor Leader,
Brookhaven, Miss.
Dear Sir:7-In the last weeks is
sue of The Leader you publish a
list of banks delinquent in making
their reports to this Office under
call of November 9th ulto. In
this was included the name of the
Merchants & Farmers Bank, of
Brookhaven, Miss.
write to ask you to please make
correction in your next issue as to
this bank, and by way of explana-
tion want to say, this bank was one
of the first to make it's report, it
having been received, approved and
filed in this office on December the
4th, / want to say further, this
bank has always been prompt in
making its reports when called for.
1t was through an error of this
office in checking off the list of
banks that the name of the above
bank was included in the list OF
delinquents.
make this statement voluntari-
ly, and in justice to the bank, and
hope you will do it the justice to
make the above correction.
Thanking you in advance, | am,
Yours truly,
E. j. SMITH, Auditor.
The Leader takes pleasure in
publishing the above correction
and explanation from Auditor
Smith, both in justice to him and
the officers of the Merchants and
Farmers Bank, who are among
Brookhaven's most reliable and
trustworthy business men. The
Leader was misled into publishing
the error referred to last Wednes-
day by Jackson correspondents of
the New Orleans papers, who evil
IDENTIFY quoted from Auditor Smith S
official statement, and we did not
see any correction in time to cut
the error out. Our publication
was made merely as an item of
news, not suspecting that mistake
had been made, and without COM
ment. The compliment incidental
ly paid to the Merchants and
Farmers Bank by Mr.. Smith is un-
doubtedly well-deserved.

LEST YOU FORGET.

AS stated by US few weeks ago,
The Leader will go to all South
Mississippian subscribers until
Jan. LIST, without reference to
whether they were paid up in ad-
vance for that paper or not; but
after that date it will continue
to go to those only who had paid
in advance of Jan. 1st for the South
Mississippian, or who meantime
have become subscribers direct to
The Leader.
A large number of South Missis-
sippian subscribers who were in
arrears have already settled up
what they owed on that paper and
had their names placed on The
Leader list for 1909, and we hope
more will make it convenient
to do likewise between now and
the first of the New Year. This
and one more issue Of The Leader
will go to all South Mississippian
subscribers before the cutting off
referred to occurs. All who were
not taking The Leader before, will
have had a good opportunity Of
passing on it's merits as local
paper by the date mentioned and
making up their verdict.
Remember 1t can be had twice a
week for $500 a year, or six
months for $1.00, and gives more
county and local news than you can
get in any other paper published.

He was a man of great firmness and
individuality of character.

TEACHERS
FOR THE COUNTY
BOARD OF EDUCATION VIII MEET
FOR THAT PURPOSE ON
JUNE 10.
WILL FIX The SALARIES ALSO
About One Hundred White and Fifty
coIored Teachers Are to Be
Selected.

What is perhaps the most impor-
tant meeting that the County Board
of Education will hold during the year
will be held on Saturday, June 1S, for
the purpose of electing the teachers
for the ensuing term. There are about
100 white teachers to be elected and
perhaps half as many colored teachers
to be chosen. The Board will also fix
the salaries Of all the teachers in the
county at this meeting. There has
been an earnest effort on the part of
many citizens to have an increase
made in the salaries of the teachers,
but the County Court having refused
to increase the tax rate and provide
the necessary revenue the Board will
not be able to make any material In
crease in the compensation of the
teachers although the present salaries
are manifestly inadequate.
A months notice of the meeting is
given in order that the advisory boards
for the several districts will have an
opportunity to examine the applicants
for position and make their recommen-
dations to the County Board. The Sc
lection of the teachers for the next
term is a very responsible duty and
one to which the members of the
Board will give their best attention
and deliberation. Teachers will of
course be chosen subject to their re-
ceiving certificates after passing the
necessary examination.

OPENING SESSION.
Informal Social Gathering Marks the
First Meeting.

With a most delightful social meet
ing and reception the Twenty-second
annual session of the Woman's Home
Mission Society of the Tennessee Con-
ference convened Tuesday night at the
First Methodist church. There are
about 100 delegates in attendance and
they are being entertained by the Ia
dies of the city. The session Tuesday
night gave the members an opportu-
nifty to get acquainted with one an
other and also with the ladies who are
entertaining them.
The informal address of Mrs. var
brough, the president. was the fea-
ture of the evening, Her address was
bright and to the point, and was very
much enjoyed by the members. The
musical program was one of the de-
lightful features of the meeting, the
singing of Mrs. Charles Forgey and
Miss Lillian McGavock being partic-
ularly enjoyed. Miss Mary Dale Fig
uers rendered a beautiful selection on
the violin.
