Poor deluded victims!

What are you doing it for?
Trying to kill the catarrh germs?
Might just as we'll try to kill a cat

Sticking a piece of chewing gum in
the upper left hand corner of the right
ear would slaughter just as many

You can't kill the germs that cause
catarrh unless you get where they are.
You a get where the germs are by
breathing Hyomei, the powerful yet
soothing ~antiseptic. which is prepared
especially to kill catarrh germs.
Just breathe it in, that's all.
1t gives joyful relief in five minutes.
1t is guaranteed by s. L. Raines to

The speech of E. F. Noel,
introducing President Taft to the
vast multitude Of people at Jackson
last week, was decidedly one of the
best that distinguished gentleman
has ever made. 1t was broad-guag-
ed, conservative and statesmanlike,
and the splendid sentiments ex-
pressed by the governor on this
eventful occasion in the history Of
Mississippi met with the hearty ap-
proval of fully nine-tenths of the
people of the State. Gov. Noel is
making one of the best and most
conscientious Chief Executives the
State has ever had, and the people
are realizing this fact more and
more every day. He is honest, Ca
pable and fair-and these are quail.

A DETRIMENTAL WASTE.

We are at a loss to know why a
man will, thoughtlessly or purpose
ly, make waste of a property, the
waste of which bears no benefit.
There are some of US that are SEEM
ingly unconscious of the fact that
we are only a part and that there
exists a relation of interdependence
among us all. We are so selfish as
to cater to our own useless embet-
torment at the cost of others, when
the fundamentally brought into
use for the improvement is an i'm
position upon others. Here In
Greenwood there are many individ-
uals who own their artesian
wells, and who allow same to waste
continuously, disregarding the in
evitable outcome that is sure to fol-
low such a strain upon our water
resources. The strain upon our va
ter resources for the past few
months has been so great as to
force several tank owners to pur-
chase their water from the city wa
ter plant. The Y. & NJ. V. R. R.
Go. was forced to hold their trains
until water could be drawn from
the city's plant. And again this
wasteful strain has so increased that
a much greater depth is now re-
quiled to get a clear stream of
water. There is no fear of water
shortage at present, but if this waste
continues to go on it will be of Sc
rious detriment to our resources.
AS an example of what might be
the outcome, Chicago is now having
serious trouble with its water, and
the authorities there claim that the
cause therefor is the wasteless
drain upon their resources by in
dividual well-oWners.
Such practice as this should be
discontinued. 1t is due your fellow
citizens, who are dependent upon
other wells for water. Your wells
should be cased and only the ne.
cessities supplied. Such practice as
this would entirely eliminate all
danger of scarcity of water, and
would be a great help to our ex.
cellent water plant which is op.
Grated by the city. Consider this
if the cap fits you, and surely you
cannot be so inconsiderate of 9th.

now the CROPS STAND.

The past week has shown ideal
fall weather. There has been no
frost Of consequence in the cotton
belt, and, as the temperature has
been propitious, the late planted
cotton has made some progress in
the western section of the belt.
Some top crop will now be secured,
it is believed, if frost is delayed a
few weeks longer. Even in the CEN
trail and eastern portions of the belt
the crop has done better. Of course,
there is no present prospect that the
yield will be very. materially added
to, but in q season like the present
even 3 small addition is to be vel.
coined. The weather has facilitated
tho rapid picking of the remnants
of tho crop as well as its prompt
marketing. It is generally believed
that a larger percentage Of the to-
tai crop has been picked, ginned
and marketed up to the present
time than in any recent year. The
high prices prevailing have held out
every incentive 10 the rapid harvest
ing and marketing Of cotton, hence
the large movement 10 market is not
regarded a. any indication Of the
size Of the yield.

SAlAGX Of NE 60vFNtoe.
Tho most important once Ii the
State and the most difficult ono To-
fill is that Of the governor. Yof,
congressman and senators receive =

the governor. This should not be.
The salary of the governor is too
small, and it should be advanced to
at least the amount that the con
gresham receive. $500 > year.
Any man who is competent % fill.
the Office of chief execufita is en-
titled to and deserving of a salary
that large, for he can earn it other
wise. The brains necessary to hold
the office, the dignity Of the pc.
sition, the honesty that is essential,
demands a salary in keeping with
the position, and it certainly is not
now. OF course some little fellow
who is not worth much of q salary
anywhere will say, well if q man
does not want to. serve the state at
the present salary, he does not have
to, and there r plenty who will"
Yes that may be true, but there is
no reason why the State should be
made to suffer because some incom-
petent fellow will take. the office at
the present insignificant salary.
The State is no pauper and can
easier pay a salary of $500 now
than it could pay $1,000 in former
years. It is true that some of the
men who have served and will
serve as governor are just as good
as could be found, but that is nc
reason why they should have t.
make a sacrifice of their individual
interests for the honor there ID il

We need men who are willing tt

fixed upon . definite policy Of con-

inception to completion. Dissatis-
lied with the report OF his engi-
neers. the ablest Of France and Eng
land, he drew q straight line be-
tween the proposed terminal points
and commanded that the road
should be built accordingly and set
aside the money for the purpose.
1t was not so built, but much more
nearly SO than was thought pos
sible. The striking feature Of the
incident being in the fact that hav-
ing determined upon the building
of the road . definite policy was es-
tablished, the money appropriated
and the work begun and the work
completed in q time that has never
been equaled in the history Of rail
way building.
j.. It is only the establishment of .
definite policy that is needed in the
United States to. begin and COM
plete the improvement of a system
of waterways not equaled in any
country or the globe. The money

note of the numberless other prod
ucts and industries, show the ire
mendously greater value of the in
ternal over the foreign commerce of
the country.
Foreign commerce has a highway
at all seasons. Of the year and the
development of the internal trade
Of the country could readily be
guaged if, like its foreign Compel
itor, it had continuous means of
communication between shipper and
receiver, with the prices to the con-
sumner reduced from present figures
which are largely because of the in
adequate means of transportation
causing delays and added cost to
producer or freightrpayer.
The Southwest has ever been an
advocate of the improvement of the
inland waterways of the country.
It has ever appreciated the wonder
full wealth and the unlimited nat
ural resources of the states of that
section and the deplorable lack of
transportation facilities with Nature
providing the highways only to be
neglected by the federal govern
ment. It is, however. otherwise to-
day. The program of the National

very far towards awakening an en-
~lightened public sentiment On the
subject and nowhere is that senti-
ment stronger than in the great
southwest. The demand for inland
waterway improvement is a demand
that is imperative and one which
the Congress of the United States
must heed.
