A.; Democracy vs. Demag0Gy. Robert E. Reed in The Atlantic Mont

 ,-4 ly- ii sA sfy1 s.sS s What is the danger today2 We have been led to believe in the responsibil- ity of government for the creation and distribution of wealth. We have en. joyed great prosperity. and now, gen. erally speaking. we see It's great ac- cumulated wealth in the hands of a few whose methods we have investiGat. ed and found dishonest. yet who are in the main unpunished and unpunisha ble by existing laws The demagogue is the popular answer. The demand of the hour is for more law and more power to punish and destroy. The demagogue's conception of government is of the ab. solute power to punish and destroy . Fortunately there is too much strength in our institutions and too much con- servatism in our people to permit this popular feeling to overrun directly and immediately all the principles and safe1 guards of Democracy. But the tonA and the tendency are destructive.

North be made acquainted with its
excellence. It is crop that requires
the right kind of sandy soil to pro
duce the best results; it also must be

to boil it just right, until taught by
experience, which is often bitter. The

RIBBON CANE SYRUP.

Industry inSouthM Mississippi can make
for himself fortune in the next five

s'The wealth that lies in this syrup
business, awaiting only the touch of
the alchemist who will transmute the
cane into coin is almost incompatible
in terms of dollars and cents.
Here in limited area Of SouthMis-
sissippi and small part of the Ala
bama is grown cane peculiar to this
soil, and, so far as known, not pro-
duced or producable elsewhere on
earth. This cane yields syrup su-
perior in flavor and in richness of
substance to anything known on the
table of modern epicnres. It is a
syrup that, when its merits shall be-
come generally known, will be In SUI
preme demand by people who are
able to pay any price for whatever

increasing demand for an article the
supply Of which is positively limited,
will soon make it one of the high

wealthy !"
SO far from this famous cane be-
ing confined to sslimited area OF
South Mississippi and small parts Of

In Holmes county, at Durant, con-

railroad, runs a mill that turns out
several thousand gallons of ribbon

Mississippi, as we hayee often said,
