Smallest Birds the Bravest.

Birds fearless are the humming birds.
So unafraid are these charming crea'
lures that they readily will enter open
windows of houses if they see the
flowers within. They even have been
known to visit the artificial flowers
on a womans hat when she was walk
ing out, and other writer's speak of
their taking sugar from between a
persons lips. In a room they become
confused and, being frail, are apt to
injure themselves by striking against
objects. 1t is of no use to try to
keep them in captivity unless possibly
it were in a greenhouse, where there
were plenty of flowers, for no artificial
food ever has been found which will
nourish them. Yet even in green
house they probably would kill them
selves by flying against the glass.

At its annual business meeting held
last evening in the rooms OF the Board
of Trade. the Automobile Club Of Wash

drastic measures for increasing its
membership.
The report OF President Robert V.
Caverly, who was later unanimously
elected, despite his vigorous protesta-
lions, showed an increase OF fourteen
members in the past year, making a
total OF seventy-sevcn local members
and two nonresident members. The
keynote Of the report was the urgent
necessity f0r Increasing the member
ship Of the club. both to establish 1t
on a firm financial basis and to widen
its influence.
The recommendation precipitated a
long discussion over ways in which to
enlist new members. and at the sugges-
ton OF Mr.. StOddard. of Cook & StOd-
uard, a paper was circulated for the
signature of those present. binding the
signer TO bring at least two new mem
bers IN the club within sixty days or

To Drive Rats Away

Rats are very destructive to all
manner of grains, causing a loss
to the farmers beyond accurate
computation. Any logical move
which will tend to lessen this
very expensive evil should have
the attention of every farmer in
the south and if it's possible to
drive the rodents to the woods,
great good will be accomplished.
The American Agriculturalist of
New York gives the experience
of a farmer from Maine as fol-
lows:
Sprinkle sulphur on your barn
floor and through your corn as
you gather it, there will not be a
rat or mouse to bother. | have
done this for years and have nev-
er been bothered with a rat or
mice. | have some old corn in
my crib and not rat or mouse
can be found. In stacking hay
or oats sprinkle on the ground a
little and through each load; and
my word for it rats or mice
can't stay there. A pound of
sulphia will be sufficient to pre-.
serve a large barn of corn and is
good for stock and will not hurt
the corn for bread Cotton Jour

Chancellor Robins heard the
application of interested parties

injunction restraining the Mobile
jackson & Kansas City Road
from moving the new depot to

been ordered by the railroad COM
mission and by a degree of Chan
cellor Robins sustaininfi the or
der of the commission. The ap-
plication for an injunction was
denied without supersedeas. AS
a result of the position taken by
the chancellor the road will have
to move the depot to the old site
without further delay. This has
been a long drawn out case, ar
appeal having been taken from
the first degree of Chancellor
Robins and his decree being af-

Mans Inhumanity to Man

History records innumerabIe
instances of mans inhumanity
to man. Under the pagan sys-
tenn it existed, and the Christian
system has made no change.
Man still treats his fellow man
inhumanly under the slightest
provocation. The great speech
of Lamar in answer to Conklin's
criticism of Davis will live long
for the reason that Lamar was
filled with humanity. This one
sentence shows the character Of
the south's great statesman:
When Prometheus was chain
ed to the rock, it was not the ca
gle but the vulture that fed on
his liver He should not have
hit a man when he was down.
No man with spark of human
ity in his soul can. Misfortune
and misery appeal to the better
side of a mans nature. Thank
God, this is so in the majority OF
cases, for if it were not society
would go back to where it
emerged from.
The man who has no SYM
pathy for the weak and distress
ed may have the respect Of those
among whom he lives but he can
never win their affections.
He may be treated courteouSly,
bat the community will not
mourn him when the final sum-
mons is served Pascagoula

The reports from all over the
district give every assurance
thah Mr.. Mitchell will win in the
congressional primary next
Thursday. He has made clean
and vigorous canvass and has
won many friends all over the
district who are now rallying to
his support and will give him
handsome majorities in sections
where he was practically un-
known when the canvass began.
These reports come from every
direction and he will receive very
Strong support IN some sections
where he had expected his op-
ponent to be the strongest. This
is very gratifying to his friends
at home In this county he
should receive a very large vote
and We are sure that he will get
it. He is a home man and for
that reason, if we had no other
for supporting him, he should
get the great bulk Of the vote in
this county. His home county
should rally to his support and
during rhe last week of the can
vass his friends should use every
honorable means of giving him a
handsome majority.
