Sensible Germany.

The heads OF the chemical industry
in Germany have. come to the conclu-
sion that the following circular is the
proper thing to place in the hands Of
their constituencies:
1--WE urge our members to use every
opportunity to set before their work
men the disadvantages of the use OF
alcohol Among these are the use
less expenditure of money, the weak
ening of their own health and that OF
their children, and the consequent di-
nlinished resistance to disease; the
greater liability to accidents among
men who are not total abstainers, par
ticularly among machines; the earlier
invalidism and the diminished income.
I'VE urge our members to oppose
the use of alcohol by all means, by
providing non-alcoholic drinks, such
AS cold coffec Dad mineral water IN
summer and hot drinks in winter, also
by the dissemination of popular ntera-
ture, by the erection of proper places
of amusement for the hands in large
factories, of reading-rooms, workmens
homes, or rather homes in which alco-
hol is excluded, by young peoples So
s1cietfesS which viii keep young people
of the streets and away from the
drinking places. so
mo alcohol should be allowed in
factories, particularly on account OF
the danger~from accidents. Infringe
ments of the order should be punished.
ANY who appear on the premises un-
der the Influence of liquor should be
discharged" nn0.

The Clarinet.


The clarinet has the richest, sweet
est voice of all the woodward instru-
ments, although its sound does not
travel quite SO far as. that Of the oboe
Whenever, as sometimes happens,
there are two melodies to be played
at once, the clarinet takes the lower
of the two, while the violins> play the
upper and more important one But
in a military band, where there are no
strings at all, the clarinets. play the
chief melody, 1.-THE bass clarinet is
not so smooth or so sweet as the
higher ones. 1t has a rather choky
sound, though softer than that Of the
bassoon.-'FTom the Drum of the

Supreme Csxrt Revsrass Itself.

The supreme court did the unusual
thing of reversing itself by sustaining q
suggestion OF error in the case of Sandy
Hays, convicted OF murder in Simpson
county and given life sentence. The
court had originally reversed the case
on the ground that the record failed to
show af6rmstively that the grand jury
that found the indictment was ever
Ewsrn. as SD fE s.il3
Assistant Attorney General Butler had
filed suggestion of error, calling the at
tcntion of the court to section 1913 of
the code, passed by the Legislature after
the Shree coRrt decisions which had been
followed in the reversal, and which pro-
yidss that to avail itself of the defect
mentioned the defense shall make the
point BEFORE verdict il reached. In this
case it had been made in motion for
stay Of execution, after the verdict had
been rendered, but before sentence had
been pronounced
Justice Smith, in rendering the opin-
ion, frankly confessed the error of the
court, sustained tic motion and affirmed
the case, wherefore the defendant, in
stead of getting a new trial, will be
promptly sent to the State penitsntiary.

Political Pot In Boiling.

That many political pots will be put
to boiling during the approaching legs
latiue session seems to be . foregone
conclusion. Ambition to hold Office is
ever present with many Mississippians,
and the biennial legislative session af-
fords aspirants exceptional opportunities
to launch their booms, form alliances
andsoutiine plans for the construction of
political fences with which they hope
to hold their antagonists in check.
Already the woods are full Of candidates,
actual and prospective, for the various
state offices, although the next election
will not be held until 1911, and formal
campaign openings are not due until six
or eight nsnths in advance Of the
election date. Interest, Of course, cen
ters chiefly in the governership, and the
chief clement OF speculation on this con-
test is whether it will be more than
two-entry affair. Hon. Charles Scett,
of Bolivar, and Hon. Earl Brewer, OF
Coahoma, vhs made cIose finishes in the
last campaign, are avowed aspirants for
1910. There seems to be growing be-
lief in political circles that these two
well-knsvn citizens viii have the fight
all to Themselves; that while many 9th
ers have been mentioned, there 10 little
likelihood that they viii qualify fer the
start A similar opinion prevails in re-
gard to the senatorial race. Ex-Gov.

work DUNG the past year, and in q

Guard Against Weevl.

The farmers in Miseissippi's bell wee

promptness in following the advice OF
the special agents of the United States
department of agriculture in making
preparations for next seasons crop. Es-
pecially is this true in regard to the
widely published suggestion that all cot
ton stalks be burned prior to the 18th
of November. 1t is stated by the agri-
cultural experts that fully 90 per cent.
of the farmers in the southwestern coun-
ties, where the weevil has made its ap-
pesrance, have burned their stalks, do
ing the work thoroughly, and thus min
inning prospects of ravages by the boil
weevil during the coming crop year.
