"It is sad fact, that not only
are the laboring masses oppressed
politically, but that the laborer
suffers from a knowledge of the
fact that those whose financial cir
cumstances enable them to go
through life without the necessity
OF physical toll, and who reap the
benefits of the laborers' efforts,
look upon him with a feeling of in-
difference and contempt. 1t has
been sung by poets of every age
that honest toll is noble; and yet
we see the conduct otsocial circles
giving the lie to the statement day
after day. 1t is a fact that the
prohigate son of vice, if his calling
fills his Golfers with gold, is re-
ceived into the hearts and graces
OF the daughters OF rank, while the
plain workman is scorned and buf.
feted with light witticisms and cut
ting remarks. May God speed the
day when worth and virtue shall
meet with due appreciation,
whether robedin purpleor in plain
clothes. Extract from Address
of Prof. D. c. Hull of the Miss.
A. & M. College.

Let US not devote so much of
our time and energy to cussing the
Wall Street bears. We are much
more successful as bears than are
the Wall Street crowd. We have
no business to plant three-fourths
of our land in cotton and cause
over-production and thereby force
the price down. The too exclusive
culture of cotton forces US to buy
on credit and dump all of our COT
ton on the market in the fall in or
der to satisfy our creditors and
thereby force the price down. Let
us first remove the beam in our
own eye.
Let US begin now to fix a price
for our 1910 cotton crop by devot-
ing land to pastures, by sowing
down oats and wheat, planting
cane for syrup, etc., etc. Let US
realize the fact that help must
come through our own personal
efforts, and that there is help for
us through organization, co-opera-
ton, and diversifcation of crops.

Letter to E. c. Jordan.
Port Gibson, Miss.

Dear Sir: Clear pine and pine full Of
knots are two different things; they are
both called pine.
Clear paint and paint adulterated with
whiting, china-claY, ground stone, barytes,
benzine and water, are different things
they are both called paint. .
1t takes less labor to work clear pine
than pine knots, and costs less money.
1t takes less labor to paint clear paint
than half-wheting or half china-clay OF
half ground stone or half barytes. These
mixtures make more gallons, not more
paint. There no more milk in two quarts
of milk If you paint two gallons for one
you pay double for labor; and labor costs
more than paint.
You know how it is with cIeat lumber
and knots. It's the same with all paint and
half-paint.
A day's-work is a gallon of paint or half
paint.
Apply it to business. Suppose you have
two houses, same size: paint one Devoe, the
other prominent paint in your town.
It takes 10 gallons Devoe, $I.75 gallon,
$I7. so for paint; So gallon for labor, $50
for labor, whole job, $47.5o.
It takes IS gallons of that other paint,
same price, $z5, IS for paint; S. gallon
for labor, $45 for labor; whole job $7I.25.
And which wears best, clear pine or pine
knots? DeYoe. wears better than that
weak paint,
What warrant is there for saying that
paint is weak9 It takes more gallons.
Yours truly,

The Miss. A. & M. College has
arranged course for the benefit of
those young men of Mississippi
who are unable to take the regular
course. 1t is, of course, much
better to take one of the regular
courses; but this course opens up
way by which any young man
may enter the A. & M. without
a dollar, and, by grit and determi-
nation, finally get an education.
Those taking the working course,
work on the farm every day that
the weather permits, being paid
what their work is worth. They
are taught an hour every night. A
boy ought to save up enough mon
ey IN one year to enter college reg
ularly next session.
Boys, if you cannot possibly
raise the money to start in one of
the regular courses, this course Of
fers you an opportunity to become
an educated man. You can no
longer plead poverty as an excuse
for ignorance.
l speak from experience when |
tell you that it will take tons of
grit and determination to work
your way through college. My
money gave out two months after

lege and know what it means to

years and take the regular
course at the same time. Howev-

A STARTLING
 BOOK
THE REVOLUTION IN MEDICAL
 PRACTICE.
Contrasting Old School Methods With
 Natural Methods.

A new hook from the press of the City Printing Company, of Hartford, has appeared, month ago, which is likely to attract great attention not only among those practitioners whom 1t attacks, and SuStainS, but among the lay readers, for it is not designed as a technical treatise on medical practice, but as an argument against the more firmly eytrenched schools of medicine, and in favor of what it's author, Dr. Louis Blumer, the PSychOpathic phy- sician of this city calls Naturopathic methods. Under this head he classes the carious cults which profess to heal by natural methods, including Christ ian Science. Mental Science, Psyco- Therapy Mec11ano Therapy-such as Osteopathy, Massage and all move ment systems. dietary systems etc.
 His plea is for a combination of these various headers and doctors, with the people who oppose drug practice, into one organization, to b called the Union Naturopathic Society, and through this organization to arouse a public senti- ment which shall compel legal recog- milton of the rights of all to practice by any method that will help and in no way injure humanity.
 He surely presents strong arguments in support of his position, and if he succeeds in his effort, there will cer- tainly be wailing and gnashing of teeth in the camp of the enemy, the materia medica devotees and much rejoicing on the other side.
 The book is most interesting to read, as well as to study. It's, pages con- tains material that sets you thinking, and no one can be we'll informed on any subject pertaining to health unless to read the book.
 The author has laid down an excel lant plan to abolish disease and pro- long lie.
 A book of this nature shall meet with great sale, for it is well worth spending the time in reading it's con- tents.

Over 100 motorists and their friends attended the opening night celebration of the recently organized ChaufaurS
 Club at the rooms which have been fit ted up in the Blue Ribbon Garage. The rooms which are provided gratis by the officers of the Blue Ribbon company were admired by every one who at tended and the evening was enjoyed

FAIRFIELD
Asking for Relief Cruelty to Anima.s- Ice fiouse Demolished Naming the Streets Books on Farming.

Mrs. Girard has applied to the town for relief She has a husband, but he is either out of work, or if he has money, spends it for other. things than the comfort and support of his family. She has six children, and when she asked the selectmen for aid said she had no wood in the house, and little to eat. The town will probably look af- ter her wants
 A warrant has been issued by the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for the arrest and trial of two colored men named Arthur R. Nichols and Arthur B. Nichols said to be cousins. It is affirmed that on the Sth inst, these men abandoned the horse and inflicted unnecessary cruelty upon the animal. They caused the horse to remain hitched to post upon the highway, for a period of IS hours, without food, drink, or protection from the weather.
 A number of farms in town are ad- vertised for sale.
 MT. Moses E. Banks of this town voted for Lincoln both in 1860 and in 1864.
 During the storm of Wednesday, the ice house of MT. Herbert Sherwood, Pequot Lake, Southport, was demolish- ed by the wind. It is said the house was practically filled with ice. The loss is a, severe one for MT. Sherwood.
 In anticipation of the coming of spring, many books on farming have been ordered for the library. A new book which is thought to be of more than usual interest for at least juve- nile readers, is called "The Sloops of the Hudson" It begins with the sloop of Hendrick Hudson, and comes down to modern times. The book is well il- lustrated.
 Discussing yesterday the need of having some definite name for each Nstreet in town, it was pointed out that the street which runs south of the post office, and so onwards to the beach, has been called School street, BullAley avenue, Pelham avenue, and Penfield avenue. It has had the name of School street, because it runs past the center schoolhouse. It got the name Bulkley avenue from the fact that it passes through some of MT. Wallace M. Bulkley's land. And 1t has been called Pelham avenue from the reason that when the foundations of the new postoffice were being placed, it was dis covered that at one time man nam ed Pell lived on the spot, but after. wards went to Pelham Manor, in New York. It is thought that Penf1eld ave- nue- is the more appropriate name, since it stands opposite Penfield Reef on the Sound. Another proposition is that the main street from Ash creek to the junction with Broad street, be called Fairfield avenue. And the street which runs from the library corner to Southport, can be called Main street. It is said that the town will be called upon to consider these matters.
 The Dorothy Ripley chapter, D. A. R., observed the centennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln by attending the exercises of the Souths--t district school at 2:30 this afternoon. The an nual presentation of prizes to the scholars by the chapter took place.

Make up your mind after reading this that you will let the next meal ! hold no terrors for you.
 You can enjoy it. You can digest it. All that is needed is to give na- ture the juices she lacks. to give the stomach a chance to remove the ter ,.if,le irritating acids, alkalies and gases which turn food and nourish- nent into gas and decomposition.
 When a system is run down and depleted it needs building up. Ashes won't rekind1e a fire and wrong diges- tive fluids will not take proper juices from food no matter how good the food is
 Is this common sense? Men spend years and even life experimenting on the human system, what it lacks in disease and what it needs in perfec- tion.1 This knowledge is known to every physician or should be.

 A Peculiarity of Hard Times.
 During hard times some lines of bus mess are more seriously affected than others The last financial pinch gave the big woolen mills of Rhode Island and Massa sachusetts some pretty hard bumps Mills making the very finest woolens were hardest hit. These mills, in order to tide themselves over, have been compelled to sell their goods far below the cost of making. This was an i'll wind to the mills. but it blew good to thousands. Concerns who could use woolens in large quantities bought them for practically song. The English Woolen Mills Co.,. one of whose 19 stores are located in this city, bought thousands of yards of the very finest woolens from these mills. This concern is now making the woolens into the finest, perfect fitting tailored to measure suits and overcoats at half
