Detectives and Peonage.

a year or two ago almost every
Southern employer of labor in this
part of the country appeared to DC
under suspicion of peonage A lady
sleuth went through the land leaving
CONSERVATION and Indignation in her
wake by her faculty for imaginin :
peonage where none existed. There
is apparently ample opportunity for
this gifted detective, if she is still in
commission, to exercise her genius
nearer home. It has been pretty
clearly demonstrated that the home
of peonage if it be existent at all IN
the United States, Is in the great in
dustral plants of Pittsburg and other
Northern cities, where ignorant for
eign labor is employed. and not on
the cotton pla1tations OF the South.

Prof. c. w. Leaphart Writes to the

Interesting Hints On the Proper
Way to Train.

Mr.. {. w. Leaphart, athletic in
structor OF the Greenville High
School, writes encouragingly as fol-
lows to the boys of Mississippi, urg-
ing them to enter and train for the
Great Junior Marathon Race:
| would like to urge the high
school boys of the state to enter
the Marathon race to be held under
the auspices of the Delta Fair Asso-
citation at Greenville for the following
especial reasons:
First-Track work cannot be ex-
celled for well rounded development
of body and promotion of health.
Second-The healthy pleasure in
the contest
Third-The chance of meeting the
best high school boys of the state in
competition.
1t is a we'll known fact that d per-
son III good training has feeling of
especial good health such as he does
not have at other times. 1t must be
remembered that daily training IS

shown by the number of men who

OF Mississippi training for the great

1t may be also that you run and

while actually running. Don't take

Merely rinse the mouth if you are

Be careful to eat only good, sub

A Talk on Borrowing.

We received a communication
from one of our substantial readers
Monday on borrowing, but as she
does not want her name signed we
take the privilege OF giving it in
part only:
Webster says, go take for use
something that belongs to another
is to borrow" The very tone Of
this definition sends a shudder W.
err one when they stop to think.
Now how would the continual and
indiscrimihate borrower like to
have the process reversed? In our
neighborhood nothing is exempt.
Ii a man has a dozen pieces of tile
left some one needs just that
amount, even should the owner
say he needs it for another part of
the farm, or a pile OF sand, or a few
planks, bridge lumber, etc. We
had a pile OF lumber in sight of
the road an dthe "gude mon" told
wife not TO let anyone have a piece
OF that lumber. Well, she had a
time-refused one after another.
But one day she saw a man load
ing thai lumber. He had met my
husband and he hated to refuse,
etc. A man will pay $50 for a pillow
his neighbor will borrow from him
and generally returns it broken
and says, "you buy the piece and 1
will pay for it."
Years ago The "gude mon" had
a new disc harrow and a new corr
planter and at the self same hour
two mel came to borrow them.
Both were returned broken. The
borrowers were too poor TO snake
! good" and we were out S. for re-
pairs. Nothing is exempt.
/ Now, why don't these people
who have borrowed all their lives
buy something to lend? A poor
rule that won't work both ways.
Most of them are well-to-do. The
poor, who have only a garden rake
vi u pTOhSn nue. Say INV IL YOU
need anything just come over"
The writer has had a life time
horror OF borrowing. AS a child
OF ten a neighbor borrowed a gen
tie horse from father for a day to
break a wild one with. He brought
her back in a month badly used up.
having worked her hard and de-
MED us of a driving horse for the
time.
The Bible says, "they who go
borrowing go sorrowing." That's
putting the cart before the horse,
as the other fellows usually goes
sorrowing. y
If folks ran to Mr.. Rsa to buy as
they do to their neighbors to bor-
row his implement house would
soon be only a dream. He would
have to stock up i'm a hurry and in
crease his force of clerks.
When a man deliberately makes
a practice of borrowing he aims to
"do YOU"
One Who is There.
