THE RIGHT WAY.

The rule that has been adopted
by the mayor and justice of. the
peace for Brandon that women who
flight or use vulgar language ON the
streets, or those who are. convicted
of stealing will be. given Jail or
county farm sentences as well as
fines, is one that will do much to
stop such occurrences.
That rule will amount to some
thing because the white people here
have become convinced that going
ON bonds to take appeals i'm cases
that would get just as heavy sent
ences i'm the circuit court, merely
to humor some servant, whose only
hope for acquittal would be in the
absence of witnesses, was wrong i'm
principle, and i'm some degree sanct-
ioned lawlessness and should be
stopped.
No innocent person will suffer and
the guilty should pay the penalty.
Protect the good-make it so hot for
the bad that they will either change
their ways or move.

RICE IN LOUISIANA
AND MISSISSIPPI

gather from go to rs bushels per a.
ere, which without the water would
have been almost a failure.
The experiment of rice growing In
the Mississippi delta i'm Bolivar coun-
ty, shows just as gratifying results
as in north east Louisiana and across
the river from Natchez.
Rankin has no water courses that
could be utilized dn such a way, for
while Pearl river might have a sup
ply sufficient for lands adjoining, the
spring overflows might be disastrous,
but upland rice can be grown here
for home consumption at a profit.
Every acre of rich delta land devo-
ted to crops other than cotton, will
take that much lesss of the staple
off the market, which is controlled
largely by the law &C supply and de-
mand, with the result that prices will
be better.

slipped and he fell down between
the oxen and the front wheels, the

In a recent meeting at Baton
Rouge, La, to build state road
from that city to- New Orleans, Louis
iana's chief executive among other
things outlined plan of action
which, if carried out, would be the
greatest economic value to the whole
country that could be devised.
"The ultimate desire of us who
have taken the matter up is to com
meet every county sea. I'M the state
with every other county seat by a
macadam road" the Governor went
ON. Road building, as a national
question in the United States, is al
most in its infancy. / believe tha t
a perfect system will be developed
whereby the nation, the state and
the county, will each construct their
own roads. A broad and comprehen-
sive good roads project should be
inauguratcd by the government and
it should be some such scheme as
this:
81. The national government should
construct national roads connecting
every state capital with every other
state capital i'm the union.
"2. The state should construct
state roads connecting every coun-
ty seat with every other county seat.
''3. Every county should construct
all necessary county roads.
GA broad and comprehensive
scheme of road building of this kind,
dividing the road building and road
maintenance between nation, state,
and county, would result, in a very
short time, in giving us permanent
highways from ocean to ocean and

THE TWO KINDS.

In every business house there are
two distinct classes of employees.
One we may call the Bunch, and
these are out for a maximum wage
and a minimum service. They are
apt to regard their employer as their
enemy, and i'm their spare time they
persistently "knock." They keep bad
hours, overeat, over-drink, over-draw
their salaries, and are 'toff their
feed" at least once day in a week.
The other kind get their sleep,
take their cold baths, do their En-
ersonians, join no cliques, and hus-
tie for the house.
If I were youth, would not COM
pete i'm the dollar-a-week class.
Like George AIDE, who left Indiana
and went to Chicago in order to get
away from mental competition, I'd
set the Bunch pace. | would go in
the free-for-an class. / would make
business good.
No matter how scarce tines are,
there are a few employees who are
never laid off, nor are their wages
cut down. These are the boys who
make the wheels go round. And it
isn't Brains that counts most; it is
Intent. The difference lis this: the
Bunch plot and plan for personal
gain-for ease and good time.

One of the most Significant utter

nouncement that there was now un
der consideration the proposition te

Instead of the state acquiring
more farm property for the purposes

tion, and in order to employ convicts
unable, physically, to work on the

can be done, them we may expect
