YAZO0 CITY RECEIPTS FAIL OFF.

And then came Yazoo City from
out of the wilderness announcing to
its sister cities that she in her past
cotton season received 6O,l59 bales
of cotton. The Yazoo Herald adds
that this shows q decrease of 3,O39
from the receipts of last year, and
that for several years the receipts
have been gradually falling off. She
bemoans the fact that in spite OF
the fact that Yazoo City has splen-
did facilities for handling cotton,
"best" equipped warehouse and
compress in the Delta, low rate of
insurance, while her sister cities,
mot near 80 we'll fitted for hand
ling the CROP" are annually in
creasing their cotton receipts. We
know that Yazoo City is an excel
lent progressive city, but it is too
much ambition for her to wish to
equal Greenwood's cotton receipts.
Last season We handled almost 1885,
600. The secret of this is that we
have the most enterprising set of
cotton buyers of any city in the
State, and that our facilities for
handling the crop are as good as
any that may be offered by any city
in the State.

Edward Hartman died 1t his
country home in New York State on
Thursday afternoon. As q result Of
q sudden and violent attack Of the
disease from which he had been suf-
fering which s~upeFvoned on Sunday
before that day, his death had been
suspected for several days.
Mr.. Hartman ranks . one Of the
four men who have STAINED the
greatest prominence in the business
world Of this country.
Mr.. Hartman was no skilled
builder Of railroads. He was sagac.
ious enough to zee what lines and
routes could be merged and connect
ed with great advantages for traffic
And he used the New York Elk,
change as an instrumentality of pos
sessing a controlling interest in thu
roads he wanted, and showed thu
world how fourteen billions of rail.
road stock could be concentrated BY
his genius of combination and dom
ination.
His life is told in the machine b.
created. His personal life is said t.
have been clean, and he il reputet
as a devoted husband and father
He never resorted to underhane
methods or illegitimate trickery, bu'
the fact that his activities touchet
every human being in the worlt
who owns an Understanding dol
lar was q result that was won b,
hard fighting.
Hartman will of course be miss
ed. He will be mourned by his de
voted family, kinsmen and friends
but his place will soon be filled
His passing away will cause a rippl'
in the market, q readjustment il
railroad affairs, and then the worlt
will proceed in the even tenor of it
way.

dfSpegJS As TRAvflfRS.

Before he was inaugurated, Pres
ident Taft had see more of the
world than any Of his predecessors,
and judging from the opening
months Of his administration, and
from the plans already announced,
he will make many journeys
throughout the country during his
term Of Office. In this he will fol-
low the policy of Mr.. Roosevelt, who
did much more travelling than any
president before his time, and who
is now on q continent which none
Of his predecessors visited.
In some lands the ruler is vir-
tually q prisoner; in others his in
frequent trips are the occasion of
great ceremony and official display;
but in the United States the spirit
Of democracy is emphasized by the
freedom and informality with which
the President visits all sections and
meets the people.
The people wish to see him, and
he is the recipient of vastly more
invitations than he can accept. His
trips to distant parts of the country
are a mutual advantage, and are
coming more and more to be re-
garded as a part OF his public du-
ties. Mr.. Taft's presence at the re-
cent Norwich and Lake Champlain
celebrations in his official capacity
was beyond question eminently fit
ting.
As q whole, our Presidents have
not been great travellers, either dur
ing their terms of Office or at other
times in their lives. Less than
half of them ever crossed the ocean.
Jefferson, the Adams and Monroe all
gained experience and distinction
in the foreign diplomatic service
before going to the White House,
and Van Buren,, Fillmore, Pierce,
Grant and Harrison went abroad af-
ter their terms had expired. The
almost imperial tour of the world by
Grant is historical. The younger
Adams and MIR. Roosevelt were
married in London.
By a tradition and custom-not a
law, as many suppose-the Pres.
ident may not leave the country dur.
ing his term of Office. Both John.
son and Grant are said to have dis.
regarded this during visits to Nj
agara Falls, when they crossed te
the Canadian side. There vas also
a question about Roosevelt's trip te
Panama, although it is certain that
he did not step on the soil of any
other country.-Youth's Companion
