Home Improvement.

Coupled with the report of
President Whitfield, of the L. l.
and c., was a copy of his plan
for home improvement work
which has met with very great
favor wherever explained, and it
has the hearty endorsement of
the members of his board of
trustees.
The |. l. and c.. is a school for
girls-one where they may be
trained to become self-support-
ing and independent, as well
given a classical education. The
president of the college appreci-
ates the fact that these girls are
to become the future women of
the State-the house-keeperS in
the cities and country and pro-
pose to begin with them now in
his efforts at home Improvement.
In order to the better carry
out his ideas as to training along
this line the Legislature will be
asked to build and equip a small
model on the college campus,
and there the girls who attend
the l. l. and G.. will be shown
what a home should be like.
1t is not necessary that the
home should be a costly one, but
there are certain rules that can
be followed that will make them
attractice and real homes instead
of just a place to stay. Too lit
tie attention has been paid to
this branch of farm life in Miss
issippi. There is nothing what
= ever about the average country
home to attract and to make the
boys and girls of the family
want to spend the balance of
their days there. The conse-
: queuce is that when they arrive
at the age of maturity they drift
to the towns and cities to exc
out miserable existence. In
some cases they succeed in bet
tering their condition, but in the
majority of cases they do not.
If their parents had some idea
about home improvement work
and would make their farms at
tractive they would be able to
keep their boys and girls at
home forever.
This home improvement work
is in line with the school i'm
provement work undertaken by
Miss Susie V. Powell, and botn
should be encouraged in every
way possible. The average
country school house of today is
a disgrace to the community, but
the chances are hat it is in
keeping with the average home
from which its patrons come

Death OF Senator McLaurin.

Senator Anslem ]. McLaurin
dropped dead in his home at
Brandon, Miss, Wednesday
10 evening. A week ago he was
seized with an attack of acute in
digestion which nearly proved
fatal, but was thought to be we'll
again. Heart disease was the
cause his death.
For the last quarter of a cen
fury McLaurin has been a con-
spicuous figure in the politics of
Mississippi possibly the most
conspicuous figure politically,
though not having the national
eminence of John Sharp Villains,
nor that Of Lamar, George or
Walthall. But Senator McLaurin
grew and developed into some
thing very much more than a
politician, and at his death had
attained to a high rank as a use
full man in Washington and a
statesman whose ability, knowl-
edge and efficiency were far
above the average. AS one of
her senators in Washington Miss
issippi was we'll content with
him and doubtless he would have
succeeded himself had he lived.
The coming session Of the Leg
islature will see his successor
elected to serve out his unexpir-
ed term. 1t is expected that
khere will be a host of candi-
dates, among them being Hon.
Adam Byrd and Congressman
Ben HUMPHREYS. and possibly
Mi. Vardaman. In the coming
primary of course Vardaman
will be a leading candidate, and
the gentleman who beats him
then will be senator.

Good Cotton Prices.

~ 0AA
Brown, who is well known in cot
ton circles, discussed %entertaingly
the present unusual situation in
the cotton market. A short crop
cut short by boil weevil and un-
favorable weather cOnditions-has
forced the price of raw cotton up
to about twice as much as it sold
for a year ago; and what is inter
esting about the case is the price
advanced in time to be of cOnsid-
cradle benefit to the cotton far
merS.
AS a general proposition the
cotton producer gets less out of
his product than anybody else
who has anything to do with the
marketing, handling or manufact-
uring of it. The gin Iers and sup
pliers of bagging and ties get just
as much out of a bable when it
sells for five cents a pound as they
do when it goes to twenty cents;
the railroads and steamboats,
make no reduction because the
price Of cotton is down; nor do the
commission merchants, the sam
pies, the weights the draymen,
the stevedOres, the lOngshOremen,
the insurance agents, the com
! press men, or the manufacturers.
Whether his cotton sells for high
price or low price, the poor pro
Queer must dig to pay the host of
people who thrive by the hand
ling and manipulation of his cot
tOn-the loss is all his, the profits
go to the other fellow.
This year Providence interview
ed and the farmer has, in a slight
degree, come into his own, at least
temporarily. The crop is short
the people demand cotton goods
and there is nowhere to get it
save from the Southern cotton far
mer. Therefore the price is high
and will remain high until the
scarcity of cotton has been sup
piled. And Mr.. Brown truly
says:
"It isn't the consumer that is
doing so much complaining
about high prices; it's the chron-
ic bear speculatOr in cotton and
the commission merchants
who have been caught on the
short side"
The cotton farmers are now in a
position where they have the
weapons for their own protection
in their hands. They have in
many instances made more money
this year with corn than they
have realized on their cotton.
Peanuts are coming into high IA
vor in those sections where the
soil is sandy, while forage crops,
stock raising, pigs and poultry
have opened up avenues for prof
liable farming to many an enter
prising cotton farmer. By living
at home and producing cotton on
~ as a surplus crop the cotton
farmer can beat the boil weevil,
the bear clique and every other
force or agency that attempts to
take all the profits out of cotton
and leave the leSses to be borne
by the farmer.
