What next? A report comes
from Utica, Kinds county, that
the merchants and money lend
ers of that town have decided to
make advances to farmers only
who diversity their own crops. 1t
has been in this section the
custom for years to secure adj
vances solely on the number of
acres planted in cotton and the
farmer without money to run his
place gave us oneJof the reasons
for the all-cotton system that
cotton was not the only money
crop of the state, but was the
only crop on which was fixed q
basis of credit in advance of its
actual production. But this is tc
be changed now, and the farmer
who plants corn and peas and
oats and raises cattle and hogs
and sheep is to be the farmer
with the best credit. -Greenville
Democrat. Prosperity can never
be permanent among the farmers
OF the south until the smoke
house is at home and not in
Chicago, nor until the corn is
raised at~home and not brought
from Kansas and Illinois-a new
leaf is being TUNED this year
and all will be well in the end.

cd for it all. Possibly his exam
pie may inspire the alleged good
citizens to rally to lin. The
Picayune.
Buds Remain Unp;ckcd.

Chicago matrons high in soci-
ETY. are blue and are widely adj
vertising the fact Their signs
have been transmitted into limo
types and put into the press. Ac-
cording to one despairing mother
of two debutantes, the eye Of
manageable men no longer
lights upon the bud. She may
be pretty, sweet, gentle, lovable
but she is passed by. Mascu-
line wisdom that wise mothers
should exalt instead of whimper-
ing over. 1t is not a mothers
sole mission in life to get her
daughter married. It is to keep
her married and married happily.
Young heads were not made for
worries nor young shoulders for
responsibilities. Yet both come
with marriage. Experience of
the world is needed to have sue
cess and happiness in the home.
Young girls, flushed with their
little triumphs at school, feel a
wisdom that they don't possess.
They believe they can do the pro-
blems of matrimony quite as
easily as those of Euclid. A few
years of life in the world, with
its hard knocks and it's gentle
ones, with it's disillusionings,
with its broadenings, give these
aanguine young things a better
line on themselves and the rest
Of the universe. Cleveland Plain

The News reproduces in this
issue an editorial from the New
Orleans Picayune, taking for it's
text a charge delivered by Judge
J. L. Buckley to the Lauderdale
county grand jury at a recent
term Of circuit court in that
county. Politics has too much
to do with the enforcement of
law in this state. Officers are
not as vigilant in the arrest of
offenders against peace and dig
nifty, nor Of serious crimes. Any
ofense against the law Of the
land should be properly punished
no matter who committed it,
whether asnegro, or man Of in
fuence, social standing or
wealth.
The grand juries do not do
their duty often permitting fav-
oritism, relationship or over
persuasion of outside parties to
influence them. Petit juries
often let spite, or popular clamor
decide the case, and judges and
district attorneys should not take
pleas of guilty with an agreed
sentence. Such acts are wrong
and contribute to the growing
sentiments that the courts can
not be relied Eupon and stllat In
.dividuals must Wreak theiI, own
vengence they think another
should receive.

The death loss from the recent
earthquake and tidal wave among
the islands and the southern
portion of Italy is 200, 900, and
possibly nearer 100000 lives,
with as many others seriously
Injured, and over 1000, 600
rendered homeless. The proper
ty loss cannot be computed, the
suffering of the people is in
'>describable, but the efforts 1.-THE
Italian government to relieve the
stricken people while great, have
not been equal to render assist
ance to all the needy snd other
countries are generously contri-
.buting.
