No Longer a rIOney Crop.

Mr.. G. H. Afford, special agent
of the u. S. Department of Agri-
culture for the southwestern coun-
ties of the State, discussing the E.
conomic situation, gave utterance
to a great truth when he stated
that "the cotton crop is not a
money CROP. At first blush, the
statement was received with in
credulity, but as he proceeded in
his argument in support of the
proposition the demonstration was
made clear and convincing that it
is nothing more or less than an e.
normous annual Southern product,
the proceeds of the sale of which
are paid as tribute to Western
farmers and packing houses, hence
not avilable for debt-paying, i'm
provements, or development of
any kind. This tribute has been
paid, under hallucination with inn
povershing regularity for forty-fve
years. to the retardation of the
South's agricultural advancement
commensurate with the enormous
total values created since the war.
Happily, the boil weevil intervenes
to stop further payment of the de.
bllitating tribute, not from choice,
however, but from dire cessity.
The effect of the boil weevil's in
tervention is seen in dismayed and
distressed land owners, who are
baked in purpose to continue, ad-
hbitum, the insane policy they
have been pursuing. In the In
tested districts, they have aban-
| doned hope and are offering their
lands at a sacrifice because their
plantations cannot pay tribute to
the West and the rent exacted oi
labor. The sudden depreciation
in land values is explained by Mr..
Afford as the natural result of the
vicious policy which made the
Southern farm the consumer d

passages where he went beyond
his subiect,-as for instance IN
what he said about the Underlying
purpose of what the great Poets
meant but did not say; the unex-
pressed truths in the best poetry;
the faint ripplemarks on the furth-
est shores of thought, ,-it is the
finding of all this (said DR.. War
ner) that gives such immense value
to the study of the great masters OF
Literature of whom Shakespeare is
the greatest.
The lecture was of very great
service to the members of the
Book club, the more SO, because
the Lecturer sat for half an hour
afterwards while the ladies asked
him many questions which he an
swered with a wealth of knowledge
and an easy mastery of all the de-
tails of his subject-the fruit OF
long study and profound reflection.

DR.. Warmers Lecture.

The Rev. DR.. Beverly Warner
of New Orleans lectured to the
Ladies' Book Club in Port Gibson
on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 2nd,
1909. A large and cultured audi
ence assembled to hear the dis
! tinguished lecturer who ranks with
the ablest interpreters of Shakes
peare to-day. DR.. Warner was
presented to the audience by Mrs.
Percy Jones IN a graceful and ap-
propriate speech; and taking for
his subject "FALsTAFF AND THE USE
OF COMEDY"
DR.. Warner spoke for SIS min
utes. In the earlier part of his
lecture DIR. Warner held a brief for
plump Jack Falstaff and in spec
ial plea of much subtlety and in
genuity proved almost beyond a
reasonable doubt that Sir John
was not a coward. But it was
when DR.. Warner ceased to act as
Counsel for the Defense, and be-
gan to expound the larger and
deeper aspects of Falstaff's char
acter that he rose up to the highest
expectations of his auditors. In
an exposition of rare insight and
tender sympathy he characterized
| Falstaf as a sensitive nature allied
with keen wit and strong intellect
ual powers; as creation that sat-
isfed the craving of humanity for
laughing; which (said heb is as
strong as the need for prayer.

And because Falstaff is self-con-
fessed failure he shows the comedy

The personal element as to some

times during the discourse, as in

products it should produce itself.
Herein is pointedly illustrated the
depreciating effect of bad manage
ment, or policy.
Mr. Afford, in the course of his
admirable paper, suggests a way
by which cotton can be remonitized
and that is by making it an auxili-
ary, or subordinate, crop to food
crops. That is an apparent and
rational way, and the only way
out of the excruciating dilemma this
section finds itself today and the
only way to bring lands to the top
notch of their value. We are all
aware that crops which, at times of
shortage, only bring from SIS to
$40 per acre are grown in the
West on lands valued at from 500
to S15o per acre. These lands are
food producers, exceedingly valu-
able for the reason that, given 100
as maximum of estimate rs per
cent of human expense is for some
thing to eat, and by reflex ac-
ton food-producing countries are
the most prosperous and wealthy
because their products are in uni
versal and constant demand, with,
as we sorrywfully appreciate now,
an upward tendency in price. No
farm in this section will attain to
its full value until it becomes
food producing and alternating by
divorcing the farmers affections
from the town store.-Crystal
Springs Meteor.

look to the welfare of the child at

tent to send to a school where the
rooms are dirty, i'll lighted, badly
heated and poorly ventilated.
Many buildings in the rural dis
tricts heve been used term after
term without the walls being brush
/ ed, the windows washed. or the
floors scrubbed. Often times too
all the public meetings and enter
tainments are held at the school
house. Think of the dirt that has
accumulated on the walls and floors.
This dust is stirred daily, and the
pupils breathe this germ laden i'm
pure air, eight hours day. No
wonder many of them are dull and
lazy and do not make the progress
they should. Such buildings are
simply hot beds for contagious dis
eases.
A school house in Claiborne
County was not scrubbed for twelve
years, yet school was held every
year in that bull ding. These CON
iditions must cease to exist. Par
ents must wake up to relization
of the fact that they have not done
their full duty when they have
scrubbed and dressed their child.

If you happen to be troubled
with dandruff, itching scalp, fall
ing hair or badness, we have a
remedy which we believe will COM
pletely relieve these troubles. We
are so sure OF this that we offer 1t
to you with the understanding that
it will cost you nothing for the
trial If 1t does not produce the re-
suits we claim. This remedy is
called Rexall "o3" Hair Tonic.
We honestly believe it to be the
most scientific remedy for scalp
and hair troubles, and we know of
nothing else that equals it for eff
fectiveness because of the results it
has produced in thousands of cases.
Rexall "o3" Hair Tonic is de-
vised to banish dandruff, restore
natural color when its loss has been
brought about by disease, and
make the hair glossy. 1t does
this because it stimulates the hair
follicles, destroys the germ matter,
and brings about free, healthy
circulation of blood, which nourish-
es the hair roots, causing them to
tighten and grow new hair. We
want everybody who has any
trouble with hair or scalp to know
that RexalI "93" Hair Tonic is
the best hair tonic and restorative
in existence, and no one should
scoff at or doubt this statement
until they have put our claims to
fair test, with the understanding
that they pay us nothing for the
remedy if it does not give full and
complete satisfaction in every par
ticular. Two sizes, 70 cents and

DR.. Warmers statement of the
significance of the period of tran.
sition in English history from Hen

was a noble example of massive
thought in lucid language. He
quoted the first scene of Act four
of Shakespeare's HENRY V. as being
a perfect and wonderful cross
section of English life, when one
of the characteristic elements in
modern civilization came first to
birth,-namely: The power of the
common people to think for them
selves. "For them to disobey, I"
said DR.. Warner, "meant death,
and to complain was useless;
but they could think, and they did
think, and that power grew until in
less than a century it became in
carnate in Oliver. Cromwell, and
gathered to itself the mighty power
to right its wrongs"
