species brought to the verge OF
extinction.
Stated briefly, then. our pur-
pose is to prevent the indiscrim-
mate destruction of birds, and we
keep this purpose in view not
from the sentimental objections to
their killing or from purely hui
name reasons, but because we real
ize that we are considering a que s.
tion of the comparative value of
dead birds to the hunter and of
I live birds to the average citizen.
Comparatively few persons are in
terested in the killing Of birds
countless thousands are directly
and practically interested in their
preservation. Yet in the past, the
will of the minority has prevailed,
and to satisfy the whims of a few,
immensely valuable insect destroy
ers and crop savers have been
destroyed.
At later date we. expect to set
forth more specific consideration of
some of the questions merely
touched on in this address to the
people of Mississippi. and to out
line our plans for better legisla-
ton, bird study in the schools, etc.
/ In the mean time, we appeal to all
good citizens to support the work
of the Audubon Society. and to join
/ this organization, which they may
do by forwarding their dues, one
dollar year, with name and adj
dress, to the secretary, Andrew
Allison, Ellisville, Miss.

UNABLE TO MANAGE THE PIE.
Lad at Work for Farmer Took Too
Large Contract.

An Ohio farmer hired q runaway
boy that came along and wanted work.
At the first meal there was custard
pie on the table, and the lad liked II
so well that he offered to work for all
the custard pie he could eat every day.
The farmer took him up On the
next day the boy eat five pies and
nothing else. On the next four pies.
On the third three He stuck at three
for two days, and then dropped to two.
At the end of the week he had hard
work TO get away with one, and at che
end of the tenth day the sight of a
pS put him in a shiver
The farmer insisted that he eat. and
rs he couldn't he was horsewhipped,
and that brought the matter into court.
The man was fined five dollars for
cruelty to boy, the boy was severely
lec.hred for cruelty to eustard pie, and
while the farmer went back home the
lad moved on in search of home
where pie of any sort was not known.

volving barrel form shown in the
sketch. The labor of operating this
churn Is less than either the dash or
the whirling paddle form, and 1t makes
better butter. There are no inside fix
lures to be cleaned and no crevices OF
corners that are difficult to clean
This churn has a hole in the side
near the bottom, through which the
buttermilk may be drawn off, which
is great advantage. 1t is a demon
strated fact that butter can be
churned better in a churn having nc
internal fixtures than in one with an
elaborate set of paddles.

EDITORIAL

This paper sincerely wishes the
postal department would contrive
some way to stop the rural routes
from bbliterating the names of To-
cal Communities and making them
but 10 many seeming outlaying
districts to the railroad town
from (which the routes radiate.
In olden times the Appian way
was Known to lead from Rome,
but was known itself as a distin-
ctive spiece of geography. Why
not tdElay call the rural free de-
liverySroutes say for instance Graf

Another letter emphasizing the
necessity OF immediate action in
Greene County Democratic circles
in gathering funds for the prose-
cution of the battles of the party
in the National Campaign, is pres
ented this week. This by the
chairman of the state Dem. Elk.
Committee, a dressed to the chair
man of the county Committee, Mr.
Jas. H. Turner. The HERALD
hopes the loyal Democrats of the
county will quickly unloose their
purse strings and hand over to
treasurer Heidelberg goodly sums
and thus let US be able to show a
long list in print.

Scissored.
1t is told Of a Michigan ed, tor
that he grew tired of lying about
people in obituary notices, and
then have people call him hyp-
ocrite, so he wrote up one we'll
known citizen as follows:
DIED. After Sc years, six months
and Is days Deceased was mild
hammered pirate with a mouth for
whiskey and an eye for Doodle.
He came here at night with an
other mans wife and, joined the
church at the first chance. He
owed us seven dollars on the pa
per. You could hear him pray
six blocks. He died singing
Jesus Paid it All" and we think
he is right as he never paid any
thing himself. He was buried in
an asbestos casket an1 his friends
threw palm fans into his grave,
as he may need them. His tomb
stone will be a favori'e resting
place for boot owls.

Raise improved Breeds of Poultry.

1t is not necessary to study statis-
tics to place proper valuation on
the poultry industry, for if one is at all
acquainted with the conditions on
the majority of farms it is easy to
realize that eggs and fowls are the
main dependence to keep up the gro
Gerry bills. buy the needed clothing and
even to meet sundry other expenses
which are necessary in order to keep
the more pretentious operations of
the farmer in running order. Through
many months of the year there is lit
tie income from general farming, and
If an emergency arises where extra
money is needed if the egg basket can
not meet the demand the fowls are
levied on. and coop of chickens or
ducks goes to market

This week we are appearing a
very strong appeal from the Audo-
bon SDciety of the State to the peo-
pie to think before they needlessly
and wRntonly destroy the birds.
AS the society wisely observes in
this afticle, there is Balance in
Nature'' ordained by the Creator
for The proper conservation of
snima and plant life by their
CORRESPONDING adaptable specie to
live Hpon one another, all for the
benefit and happiness of mankind.
The Mrd that is not fit to eat,
should not be slain, for he is
placed here to assist in the pro-
tectioA of crops that man sows, SO
that they will yield their desired
quota for the consumption of hu-
mankind. Antoher point that is
reallyE embodied within the one
just named is worthy of study,
and that is the distribution of the
speciaS of birdlife was arranged by
Providence suitable to climatic and
continental conditions, and where
soever man interferes by the depor-
tation or importation of these to
different chimes or shores, usu-
ally hb comes to find the unwis-
dom Of his act. He throws
nature out of balance in this re-
spect, fand its far harder to get
it back in equilibrium than to up
set. The HERALD is heartily in
sympathy with the purposes for
which the Audubon society labours,
and We commend for the literature
or public documents that they may
propaganda, careful and thought
full pefusal. There are many things
which could be said on this sub
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1908-09-25

The article referred to last week
as aupears in this issue, by Dir.
Willis Valley will be duly found
elsewhere. The HERALD publish
es tffs because we have an estab-
lished policy of doing no man an
injustice, and in this case it APP
ears that Valley was entitled to a
say. aHe has said it and the read
ers cab draw their own deductions.
AS for this editor, we believe,
from d close scrutiny of paragl apis
third and fifth of his article that
there is something that he has
withheld or his language is unfor-
tunate in expression, that he knows
nothing nor had any connection
with this treasure-robbery affair.
Really Valley gets benefit out of
our Publishing the first allusion and
this piece of his touching the cpl
sode, for, as he can not but well
knowing there was just such allega-
tions current in Beat of this coun-
ty as We wrote down, naturally he
or his father would be timorous
about denying or taking the initia-
tive il doing so,-but this paper
blazed the way when we reduced it
to print and he fires loose with his
Ananihs denunciencos, thus giving
the public the account as in circu-
lation with his contradiction. He
can himself bear the censure of all
the men in Beat 3, who have given
this matter voice, and whom he
stamps as malicious liars. It's none
Of OUT affair, anymore than we
differentiated between it as news
item and mere rumor, and are not
yet convinced that we were en-
tirely in error.

In the comparative do-nothingness
of American Vice-Presidents, the
press humorists find a fruitful
theme. The participation of Mr.
Fairbanks in the festivities atten-
dant upon the visit of the Prince
of Wales to Quebec suggests way
in which Vice-Pre iCents could be
given enough TO keep them out OF
mischief all the time, and made
to earn the salaries they receive.
Most European monarchies have
a sort of Cffioial globe Il otter and
international glad hand man on thu
payroll. When the Kaiser wanted
to promote a friendly feeling be-
tween his country and the United
States. he sent Prince Henry to the
front, and that gentleman valor-
ously dined his way from the At
lantic sea-board to the Mississippi
and back again; so the prince of
Wales bears the imperial jolly t.
the Canadians, and incidentally tC
pass a few kind phrases across the
st. Lawrence.

RESUMPTION of Trade.


Scranton Chronicle.
Those in a position TO know are
of the opinion that the dull times
are about to bid us farewell and an
era of prosperity will take its place.
Let us hope that the forecast is cor
rect as the panics of former years
were not any worse than the pres
ent one, although the south suff-
cred much less than any other see
ions of the country. Business al
ways gets quiet before preslden-
tial election, but this year the term
was so much longer that the people
felt it worse. Everybody will well
come the return of normal condi-
tions, but despite the information
given out by the large bankers and
manufacturers, we cannot hope for
great revival of trade until after
the presidential election.

There are few men in Hickory
who cuss just to be cussjng, though
there may he several who do not
mind cussing a little if you make
them mad. You need not ask the
preachers who they are eli her, for
they do not know. There are men
who will cuss in the presence of
little five or six year old boys
who would not let a preacher hear
them cuss for fifty dollars. If
cussing is worth anything, we can
see why preachers should not hear
as we'll as little boys. If you can
prevent your boys from forming
the cussing habit, nine out of ten
will make good men. We know
good clever men who chss, but all
hardened criminals cuss, and no
Christians cuss whether they are
members of the church or not.
