Hon. w. II, Wellborn was un-
animously chosen a delegate to
jackson to the state convention
which convened at Jackson last
Wednesday. Later the time and
place will be announced for an
other meeting. to take steps for
permanent organization.
The necessity for such a league
may be eninently proper in some
places. but it looks out of place
in a community like Starkville.
People from abaoad would think
that we are & lawless set of peo-
pie.
The people Of Starkville are
educated aud refined; live in the
shadow Of one Of the greatest ed
ucational Institutional of the
south aud more churches than
any other place far or near.
Our city aad county officers
have been selected for their su
perior qualifications aud purity
Of character and such being the
ease they should be able to cope
with the crimes that may be ram
pant in che land.
We favor every thing that may
promote good order and the
strict execution of the law, but
If more of us would think for
ourselves we would be better
men and better citizens.
1t is very easy to give advice;
if all should practice what they
presc.. We Wo,siiil, observe a
change for the better along all
lines Of life. So many people
are afraid to act for fear that it
Ill operate against their busi
ess.
All of the speeches were good
nd in the main correct.
The laws Of our state are good
Ind what we need is the eXecu-
lion of them. If we have officers
who can't or won't do their du-
ties. then go to the proper quar-
ters and put them out. We don't
think that we have any of that
kind however. Let them feel
and know that they have the ap-
proval. influence and support of
all good and respectible people
in the earnest and honest dis
charge Of their duties, fairly and
impartially.
No good man can afford to live
IN a lawless county and would
not if he could get out.

SCHEMES FOR GETTING RICH.
 To keep an agreement, and at the same time to cheat the party of the second part, is an achievement upon which much ingenuity has been ex- pended. A concern in West Virginia has accomplished it by advertising ten yards of beautiful silk for S2,' money to be inclosed with the order Nothing was said about the width of the silk. and many customers, when they received the merchandise, could not deny that it was beautiful" even though it consisted merely of ten yards of silk thread. The promoter of the scheme has been arrested by fed eral authorities on the charge of using the United States mails fraudulently. He must be first cousin to the artful individual who advertised a beautiful engraving of George Washington for 50 cents, and mailed a 2-cent postage stamp for every remittance that came in. The person who offers to sell things for a small fraction of their supposed value, to be paid for in ad- vance, may generally be sized up as a wicked swindler

eral months, much to the surprise of nearly all the dealers, who have been predicting a period of very light sup plies in June. A good many grass cattle from the south were included last week, which class declined 25 cents, while fed grades held more nearly steady, losing 10 to 15 cents for the week, and closing with a show of strength the last two days of the week. The supply today is again liberal for the season, 13,000 head, market steady to Toe higher on fed cattle, but weak to 10c lower on slippery grass stuff. Top last week was s7.00, paid for yearlings, and also for heavy steers. A shipment of the Harris steers, from Sterling. Colorado, sold at $66O here, weigh ing 1877 lbs, and a consignment from T. A. Mostyn, Delta, Colorado, sold at $6.25. Top natives brought S6.90, and Coloradoes fed in Kansas $6.70. Choice Colorado feeders sold at $5.25 and $5.50, late last week, and high bred stockers up to S5,50. Con- ditions today indicate that higher prices may be expected for fed stuff balance of this month. but the po- sition of grass cattle is not so safe, depending on volume of receipts and quality of offerings.
 Sheep and lambs declined % to 50 cents last week, although receipts were only moderate. Run is 1000 to- day market firm, but nothing choice included in the receipts. Three boubles of Arizona spring lambs sold at $S40 and Texas muttons at $500, is not quite the full strength of the market. in either class. Some choice Hamilton wethers from Texas sold at S6.40 late last week and the last good Arizona wethers offer ed here sold at s650. train from California here last week included kid goats to killers at s465, thin goats to the country at $3.75, clipped wethers s650. and spring lambs at $S.75. The situation in the mutton trade is not very stable, on account of extremely high prices, and this is reflected in some broad fluctuations in prices for live animals.

ENORMOUS WEALTH DISTRI-
 BUTED.

The statement just made in mag ! azine article by Andrew Carnegie re- garding his library donations would amaze the public if newspaper readers had not become so familiar with the gift of millions by American money mag mates that enormous largesses no longer excite surprise.
 MT. Carnegie shows that. the total of his library gifts up to December 31, 1908, amounted to 51,5s6,9 ,9OS. con- tributed to 1900 libraries. Of these donations a total of s34,s7O,745 was expended in the United States. The remainder of the vast aggregate was distributed among the English speak ing people of the world, including England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Africa, Fiji Islands and other quarters
 In his article MT. Carnegie defends his plan of making his gifts con- ditional, saying: It is not what the individual gives, but what, by giving part. he thereby induces communities to give, that really counts" There has been much popular criticism of this plan on various grounds MT. Carnegie has been accused of a policy which forces sacrifices on the part of others while practically he makes no personal sacrifices himself. and yet gets the credit for the whole enter prise in the case of each institution. These collections throughout the world bear the name of Carnegie libraries, while, as a matter of fact, his contribution in each case was simply the structure which housed the books, while the cost of the col lection and of maintenance has fallen upon municipalities and communities.
 But as acceptance of Carnegie do- nations is always voluntary, there doesn't seem to be much ground for complaint on the part of those who have taken MT. Carnegie's money.

Farmers Pay Big Wages.

The farmers down in the corn belt
have had to pay 50 day and board to
farm hands to save their crops from
weeds. The situation is almost without
precedent but the battle is about over
and the farmers have won. The con-
test has been an expensive one and the
wage scale sets a new record for farm
labor. There was no time to hunt help
and every man who came along was
employed The hired man named the
terms and usually received his demand
which means that the product will have
to bring a good price to pay out.

Death Ends the Fast Of Marlboro, Mass,

Cancer.

Marlboro, Mass, March l5.--A fast Of
forty.six days, during which no food in
any form had passed his lips, came to
an end last night when death claimed
Adelard Bastin, aged 81 years, at his
home on Gibbons street.
For two hours before he died, Bastin
received his friends, thirty or forty Of
whom passed in review before his bed,
each receiving nod Of recognition as
they severally asked the dying man If
he recognized them. Finally Bastin
brought the farewells to close by de-
claring be was too weak to endure more.
Ten minutes later he was dead.
The long fast was not a voluntary
one, but was octasioned BY cancer OF
the stomach, with which Bastin had been
struggling for many months. Last Sep
tember he was operated on in q Boston
hospital, hat little could be done for him.
On January 27 last he partook of two
spoonsful of beef tea, but from that time
he rebelled at all food solid or liquid,
and submitted only to the occasional
moistening of his lips with water.
He was a native of Maskinoogee, p.
O., and lived in Lowell for some years
before coming to Marlboro to work in
shoe factory. He is survived BY widow
and four children.
