Experiment Station.

1t is understood that the ap-
preaching session of the Legisla-
ture will be asked to establish
one or two more agricultural ex-
pertinent stations, and the pros
pect is that the suggestion will
carry without opposition, save in
the matter of location.
There are now three such sta
tions in addition to the parent
station at the A. and M. College
at Starkville. and there is no
man so foolish as to charge that
these stations are not good
things that they are not of ben
eft to the farmers of the State.
Mississippi is pre-eminently an
agricultural State, and every
thing possible to advance those
interets should be done. The
farmer must be educated along
agricultural lines; he must be
taught how to make blades of
grass grow where heretofore he
has been getting one-in other
words, he must be shown that it
is possible to grow two bales Of
cotton per acre, whereas he has
been getting one, or less.
It has been demonstrated sue
cessfuIly that more than one
hundred bushels Of corn can be
grown per acre on the hill lands
of Mississippi by intelligent fert-
ilization and scientific cultiva-
ton. The BOYS Corn Clubs are
largely responsible for this ad-
vanced step, but those clubs
were encouraged, and were the
outgroWth of the teachings of
the experiment stations.
These stations are now de-
manded in the Southwestern
portion Of the State and in the
Northeastern, with probably an
other in the central section.
Those already in operation have
proven a success. and there is
every reason to believe that 9TH
ers would accomplish just as.

The first monthly outing given by
Good Templars was very much enjoy
ed, Monday night, June 2Sth, at the
residence of our very worthy Brother
Roy Hewes. His parents spared them
selves nothing to give everyone
good time Their residence being on
the outskirts of town, the air was so
fresh and tables were arranged un-
der the old apple tree" Japanese
lanterns furnished lights. The refresh
ments were delicious strawberries
picked from the garden with cream
and cake. Thirty-five members and
their friends were present. All re-
ported a jolly good time. Another
outing of a different order will be
had during the month of July.

for a rest
He walked in a saloon and ordered

Which was placed on q table, and he

And commenced to reason, about In
this way:
"A man can't stand It, ON three dol

He drank up his beer, and ordered
another.
And just at that time in came a
brother,
He asked him TO take one. and was
glad that they met
Besides it's too early for the meeting
just yet.
Il want to ask YOU a question about
paying our dues.
Don't YOU think them too heavy? Don't
you think were abused?
Well. III tell you. my brother, the
reason and why.
First let's have two beers, for I'm
getting quite dry"
And the brother continued In about
this way:
when mans got groceries and
house-rent to pay,
And has 10 buy clothing, school-books
and shoes,
There isn't much left for the payment
of dues
So they sat and they talked till twas
much after ten,
And too late TO go to the meeting
just then.
Two more beers and a deck of cards

Was called for TO pass the time
away
SO they played and drank TIL twas
twelve or more,
And the landlord said he must close
the door
Said one dollar and fifty cents must
be paid,
Which was quietly done and not a
word said.
And they staggered home. their wives

AS TO EDUCATION.

Quite recently Mr. E. c. Mercer de-
livered an address in St Paul's Chapel
of Columbia University in the course
of which he said:
"One night | counted thirty-nine col
lege men Of my acquaintance In the
Bowery bread-llne. and another inves-
tigator found 400 college men in the
Bowery in a single nights search"
A time was when the current theory
ran Give a child an education that
will insure his living"
The experience. only confirmed by
Mr.. Mercer, Of the large number Of
paupers and consequent criminals
with college education. caused a new
theory 10 spring up. 1t sprang up
from religious organizations. 1t WAS
to this effect Education alone,
without religious training. IS worse
than no education at all: the princl-
pal thing Is religious training that will
insure the childs conduct through
life
The theory also suffered sAipwreck.
The large number of paupers and CON
sequent criminals with religious train
ing, strained through all denomina-
tions. proved the theory false.
Is there then, no help in man? II
left ignorant he is brutalized and mis-
chances In life are poor; If educated.
so large percentage turns out no bet
ter that education alone offers no re-
lief: finally. if trained religiously,
with or without education, the large
percentages of life-wrecks conclusive
ly prove that neither religious train
Ing alone is a Danacea,
Only One Way Out
OF course, neither religious training
alone. nor education alone can be a
panacea. Education only tends TO rem
der the pauper's crimes more heinous
the crimes of the brute ignorant are
british. the crimes OF the educated
are mischievous Similarly with re-
ligious training alone. Religious
training enables the needy to resort
to a special line OF fraud that neither
the simply ignorant. nor simply edu-
Gated man can resort to-means OF
hypocrisy that spread immortality
1t is strange that the EDUCATORS have
not vet fathomed the secfat of the
failure of either college or religious
training 10 secure a mans life and
guard him against vice. Bumped from
the rock of education only TO that OF
religious training, backward and
forward. TO find insecurity OF living re-
main unaffected and crime to be rath-
er promoted, the educators have yet
to learn that neither college educa-
ton nor religious training can substi-
mte the material basis, upon which
the good that there is in education,
and morality that Is claimed for relig'
ious training. can cast root and flour

Whether educated, or religiously
