Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Neryine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases OF severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
cdy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is TO write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
il it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

virginia farmers are ceaSlng to be
land poor and are becoming crop rich
They are seeing the fallacy of the old
agricultural order, which bid man
to scrape to the surface of many
acres on broomsedge farms and give
little attention to dozen fields. The.
are discovering that the intensive cul-
tivation of a score of acres or so is
more profitable than the extensive
neglect of thousand. They are put
ting into the bank profits which form
erly were charged TO the other side of
the ledger as taxes. This revolution.
pointed out by the Richmond Times
Dispatch some weeks ago in citing
the increase in the number of small
farms, has likewise attracted the at.
tention of the esteemed Virginia Cit
izen. In its last issue that newspaper
points out how section of Prince
William has been transformed bv a
division into small farms. A colony
of Dunkards from the valley, say the
Citizen, settled around Manassas and
bought many acres of rundown. neg
lected farm lands. They divided them
into small tracts and applied to them
the best principles of intensive agri-
culture. AS a. result "worn-out" lands
are today yielding magnificent crops,
a wilderness has been reclaimed and
farm values have been trebled. This
lesson cannot be too strongly impress
ed on farmers. Virginia lands today,
after almost 800 years of cultivation,
will yield as bountiful crops as virgin
soil. if they are cultivated closely and
skillfully. If they are neglected, and
If they are farmed on a large scale
by insufficient labor, they cannot be
expected to afford more than bare
living for unhappy owners. Examples
of the latter system are seen every
where, in dilapidated farm-houses,
lean stock and barren fields. Tx
amples OF the other sort can be seen
in other places than the Dunkard dis
trict.

workers OF the Hive Breed Her with
Special Reference to Work She
Has to Do.

The truth is, throughout all the
wonder-workings of the beehive, the
queen is little more than an instru-
ment, kind of an automaton, merely
doing what the workers compel her to
do. They are the real queens in the
hive, and the mother-bee is the one
subject. The workers have made her
Tor their own wise purpose, Just as
tney make the comb and the honey to
store in it. The egg she is Matched
from is in no way different from any
worker-egg. If you take one from
queen cell and put it in the ordinary
cell, 1t Will hatch out a common fe-
male worker-bee, and an egg trans.
Ierred from worker-comb to a queen
cell becomes full-grown queen.
thousands of worker-eggs are laid in
hlve during the season, and each of
those could be made into a queen if
the workers chose. But the worker
egg is laid in small cell. and the
larvae is bred on bare minimum of
1000, at the least possible cost in
time, trouble and space to the hive;
whiie, when new queen is wanted,

1t is reported that naturalization
was refused to 2,067 aliens last year,
a material increase over the rejection
of intending citizens during the pre-
ceding year. This showing, not a
very large or significant one, will
probably be regarded with complacen-
cy by all except those rejected. Judg-
ing from the reports in the daily
newspapers, many persons present
themselves for naturalization who are
quite distinctly untitled to become
citizens of the United States. and it
is not to be wondered at that the
courts refuse them the privileges of
citizenship. No harm will be done by
applying a sitting process to those
who apply for the right of citizenship,
and there will be little fault found if
the process is made strict so as to
avoid the Incorporation into the body
polite of ignorant persons or of those
Unaffected toward the conceptions of
citizenship which are held by the
great body of the people of the coun-
y.-Bradstreets.

We feel sure tlGt that section is in

the brightest newspaper men in the

years been identified with Mississippi

Circulation Double That Of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
THE VALUE OF PUBLICITY.

II there was one thing more than
another that the South Mississippi
Prosperity Celebration demonstrated,
1t was the value of publicity 1t
proved beyond all doubt that intelli-
gent advertising pays and it's most i'm
pressive lesson to The News is that
the same methods which were used to
attract a crowd to Hattiesburg on
October First, should be promptly util.
lied to attract immigration to South
mississippi. If we are to boost
South Mississippi properly, we must
carry the information about our re.
sources to people who are looking for
homes; people who want more land,
but who cannot buy it nthe country
In which they live and who eagerly
read every bit of information that is
offered them about homes in a coun-
try where the prices of land are not
prohibitive.
The Commercial Club and Mer.
chants Association have demonstrat.
ed that 1t is easy to raise enough
money to attract ten thousand visi.
tors to Hattiesburg for one day. Is it
unreasonable to say that it would be )
comparatively easy to attract ten
thousand settlers to South Mississippi.
who would become permanent resi-
dents, If the intelligent forces in South
Mississippi could be as enthusiastical
~ united to advertise this section as
the business interests of Hattiesburg
were united to advertise the South
Mississippi Prosperity Celebration?
II The News is correct in its con-
clusions, then the work of advertising
South Mississippi should begin at once
and begin in earnest. The forces are |
at hand to do the work All that is |
needed now is intelligent direction. |
Let the whole of South Mississippi |
combine to advertise this God-favored |
section. Let the work of advertising
begin at once. With an intelligent ar
ray of facts properly compiled and
then placed in the hands of the thou
sands of people who want homes,
there is not the least doubt that the
semi-monthly homeseekers' trains
would roll into South Mississippi lad.
en- as did the excursion trains to the
Prosperity Celebration.
This is work that calls for a
unity Of all interests centered in South
Mississippi. 1t is something which
should be led by the railways, as they
will be the first to gain and will reap
the most lasting benefit It is true
that Hattiesburg and every other town
in South Mississippi will be benefited,
but our railways reach each section
1t is problem in which they are vi
tally interested. They must have peo-
pie on these cut-over lands if they
are to get the best results possible
from their management We know
that Hattiesburg and the other South
mississippi towns will do their share,
SO let the railroads lead the way.
