'Dhe ISSUE is the only paper we
have seen rejoicing over the failure
of the house to agree to the amend
ment offered by Senator McLaurin
to put bagging ON the free list, which
passed the Senate and went to the
House, and upon the House not a.
greeting to it, was sent to the con-
ference. The amendment would have
sawed two and half or three mill
ions of dollars to the cotton pro-
ducers of this country; yet, because
Senator McLaurim introduced the a.
mendment, the editor of ''the Issue
gloats over the fact that it did not
become law, . That editor would
rather see the cotton producers tax
ed three millions of dollars by the
bagging trust than to see an amend
ment offered by Senaor McLaurin
be adopted. The fact that Senator
McLaurin's amendment passed the
Senate; and, after it was struck out
by the conference committee, ne
offered an amendment putting bag
ging on the free list ON a resolu-
tom introduced by Senator McCum-
Der to correct thine tariff bill in ref
erence to a draw back ON old cake,
and that the amendment was adopt
ed, passed the Senate and went to
the House, where it was referred to
the Ways and Means Committee, and
will be taken up for consideration
in December, shows that Senator
McLaurin's standing in TIE Senate
must be very high.

TWO VIEWS - TAXES
SCHOOLS AND ROADS.
FOR

We would rather pay taxes to keep
up schools than to keep up jails.
We believe that money spent to run
the schools is better spent than mon
ey spent to run courts. We are sure
it is better to use money to- educate
a. boy to be a useful, laW-abiding, i'm
dhstriCUs citizen than it is to use
two or three times as much morey
to convict him of some crime and
keep him for term of years in the
state prison. Certainly money spent
educating the children of the courr
try lis a good Investment Ripley
Sentinel.
The Sentinel is right, and the
News agrees fully with above
We would rather pay taxes to have
good roads, than to be eternally pay-
ing blacksmith bills for broken wag-
ons and buggias. We believe mon
ey spent to improve country high
ways is the best investment that
can he made iGr permanent improve
ment.
We believe that first class roads
will make country life so much more
pleasant that the children will not
be anxious to leave the old home
for the glare CT the city, with it's
sn9res and pitfalls.
We know that there lis no better
country than ours and that it's fu-
tUne is bright, but that the real Cay
of peace and prosperity is being de-
layed by having to reach us by mud
dy roads and over shaky bridges.

WHISkEY AND THE NEGRO.

Two recent occurrences only en-
phasize what the best white people
have long warned the negro to shun;
and that much of the negro's trouble
arises from the cupiiity of white
men who desire to make money with
out honest labor, at whatever cost
to others, either i'm cash or blood.
Last week a policeman in Vicks-
burg killed negro as a steamboat
was unloading a black cargo of ax-
cursionists who were mere or less
intoxicated with the vile liquor
Gold at the bcat bar on such occa-
sions. The negro, member of the
band which furnished music ON the
"trip, was killed by the policeman,
who claimed that he Thought his life
in danger as the negro put his hand
in his bosom, after setting his drum
down, and he shot to save his own
life. Upon investigation the negro
did not have a weapon, and it was
ascertained that ordinarily he was
polite and Industrious So many ne
groes resist arrests by shooting,
that the sensible officer does not
take chances of being killed, but
shoots straight if there is amy indica-
tion CT unruliness
Last Saturday steamboat load of
negro excursionists landed at Hick-
man.. KY, nearly all the mem and
many women drunk, with the result
that the jail was soon full to oykr-
flowing.
The captain and crew were arrest
ed and Jailed, the captain, however,
getting out on bail Sunday.
White men own the boats and sell
the whiskey That causes the trouble
and are primarily to blame. The
good negro should learn to steer
clear of all gatherings where whis-
key lis sold.
Tine proportion of bad blacks is SO
great that ever so good negro, to
a person who does not know him
is classed by his skin in the bad lot
and is liable to trouble on that ac-
count.
Associate with the best of your
own race, and under no circumstanr
ces patronize places where Huucr ii
sold, especially by white mem, nor tc
have amy dealings in a gambling
drinking or social way with white
men, lis the advice the News gives t
every negro, and, which, if not fol
lowed, will, nine times out of ten. re
suit i'm trouble for the negro.

AS TO IMMIGRATION.

The south with it's millions of a.
ores of virgin forests, and large bod
ies of land once under cultivation,
but abandoned because CT unreliable
labor, needs large numbers to clear
and reclaim.
Yet dit were vastly better to await
the natural increase from her pure
blooded sons and daughters to do
that work than be over rum with
the class that comes to our shores
from the Latin countries of Europe,
who aus a class are low in morals,
armed with the black hand stlletto
and whose instincts and teac hings
are such that they are not capable
of assimilation with the Anglo-Sax
on. The peoples from England, Scot
land, Ireland, Sweden, Germany and
other northern European countries
were the first settlers of this great
republic and from them sprung the
American who made this the great
est of all nations. They are of our
kind in blood, thoughts, ambitions

country great and to them DIX

Some Of the blessings to follow IN

GOOD ROADS.

|. There lis NO mistaking the senti
ment for good roads that dis growing

ing people of Mississippi
A state Of wonderful natural re.
sources, as near complete Within it

under the sun, and yet handicapped
with bad roads to the extent that
more is lost each year by miserable
highways, than from any other cause,
with the possible exception of not
raising enough food crops to supply
home consumption. Mississippi is
an agricultural state, her prosperity
depends altogether on the farms.
The hardships of country life are
not so great, as they were years a
go, with the advent CT labor saving
implements, and the telephone and
the rural mail service have done
much to make country life more
pleasant, but the miserable condition
of our public reads must he better

and railroads be shortened by great

harmful results.
No one will say may" to the ques-
tion ''are our roads bad?"
1t costs more money to have good
roads, but they pay. Land values
are increased. A buyer will pay more
for a farm that is on a good, perma-
Ient road to markets, because larger
loads cam be drawn, time saved in
making a trip to town, and your
work stock and vehicles viii last
longer.
Rankin can have her swamps Ia-
vied, her hills graded, better bridges
built, and in a few years property
values will show a wonderful in
create.
If the bell weevil comes, and it
surely will in a short time, unless
it stops its eastward progress, then
we must raise corn largely as a
crop, that will require many
loads to haul to the railroad to get
the same amount of money one bale
of cotton brings, for weight and

The true emeralds Of the ancients are SAID
20 have been obtained from the workings OF
Mount Zabarah, in upper Egypt, although the
reopening of the mines in the nineteenth cen
fury by Mehemet Ali did not prove CONNER
cially profitable. In this district was propapiy
mined the jewel adjoining the breastpiate Oh
Aaron, described in Mosaic writings and form
ing part, possibly, of the spolls carried from
Egypt by the departing Israelites. OF Egyptian
or Ethiopian origin is, undoubtedly, also, the
remarkable emerald in the papal tiara, one
inch in length and liz inches deep, and which
formed part of the pontifical treasure prior
to the discovery of America and the supse-
ouent appearance of Peruvian gems IN Eu-
rope.
The huge emerald used by Nero, in keep
ing with the belief of the times as a correc-
tive for his poor vision; the engraved emer-
aid set in gold presented by Ptolemy to Luz
culius ON his landing at Alexandria; the robes
worn by Cleopatra and other famous beauties
of the past. whose embroideries were inter
spersed with emeralds; and the exqulsltely
craven seals of antique workmanship on view
in museums and private collections all prove
the esteem in which the jewel was held. Or
naments of emerald have been unearthed In
rheban tombs and eXcavated from Pompeli
and Herculaneum, and in all ages the stone
has been classed among the rarest OF gems.
Various virtues were ascribed to it by an
cient traditions; IL was regarded as beneficial
TO the eyes; effective against evil spirits; and
in the east it is still accredited with talisman-
ic and medicinal qualities.
Immense emeralds are mentioned by ancient
authors. but they were doubtless either less
precious stones or glasslike limitations. Such
was the colossal statue of Scraps; also an
obelisk in the temple of Jupiter, 60 feet high
and 6 feet broad.

Eggs of uniform size and color are put

dozen each. These are sealed with @
label on which is printed a statement
that the eggs are guaranteed to be

If the breeder establishes his own
trade (selling direct to the consum-
ers) we believe the advance price
over current market reports would be
from 25 per cent. and up. The aver

is willing to pay for a prime article.

Treating Injured Animal.

When an animal receives a cut of
any kind the first thing to do is to
wash the wound out with warm wa
ter to remove dirt and germs that
might cause infection. Disinfect the
wound with a solution of carbolic acid
in ten to 20 parts of water, and then
bind up or grease the wound to keep
out germs. An animal that is some
what wild may have to be tied for
the first two or three times, but most
any animal will soon learn to know
that you are working for its good and
will like the treatment and become
tame thereafter, especially where the
wound must be dressed daily for sew
eral weeks.
