who play marbles 'for keeps" are

ever brought before the police court

of chance. The charge lodged by the

tanned by the magistrate, who deliy-
cred in forceful fashion a new idea
on what constitutes gambling. "The
playing of marbles for keeps is a vio-
lat1on of the law" he said gravely.
and as long as 1 am on the bench I
propose to break it up"
The judge held that no matter what
the game may be, the element of
chance constitutes gambling. The
youngsters before the court were read
a severe lecture and sentence was
during their good behavior.

WHY THE PICNIC?

In another column will be found a
communication from Uncle Josiah"
which has some good points in it, but
he evidently does not understand the
spirit in which the picnic was con-
ceived by the business men OF Hat
tiesburg. 1t never was planned to
catch" the farmer, but to enlighten
the business man. It's results will be
along the line of Improvement sug-
gested by the writer. Until recently
all the work of the Commercial Club
has Leen toward industrial develop
ment. Get us smoke stacks and din
near buckets has been the cry Our
own people have neither appreciated
tie possibilities Of agricultural devel-
oplent or the value of the develop
men that has already been done. Our
business men have never been i'm !
pressed with the need of making the |
very improvements that Uncle |
Josiah suggests and it was for that
reason, that those who did appreciate
the necessity of impressing all of the
business men with what we have
round us, that this picnic was PLAN
led. The average business man has
5een ignorant of the amount and value
our agricultural industry. Many of
hem have been under the impression
hat there was a cotton patch here ;
nd there, but the average man has
zen ignorant of the real condition of
affairs. BY going into the country
ID meeting the people our business
len will get an exact knowledge of
Iese things. urely the people who 8
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-08-07

are to be visited are not going to be
harmed, for the business men will
have nothing to sell on that occasion
and they will only meet the people in
a big gathering that they do business
with individually.
The News feels sure that the picnic
and the others which it hopes will
follow, will be the means of bringing
about better understanding between
the farmer and the business man. If
this country is to be developed as we
wish to see it, each one can help the
other very materially by cooperation.
That cannot come until there is an in
telligent understanding between all
parties at interest. There is a general
movement to make the farm more at
tractive. Business men are realizing
that the more intelligent farmer is
in cultivating his farm the better it is
for the whole country. The higher
the ideal the farmer has about his
farm, the better farmer he becomes.
The business man can help the farmer
by being better acquainted with his
needs. This picnic will help and it is
arranged without any motive except
for the benefit of both.
Let Uncle Josiah" no c,,ra 70 ct
end.
