W UrtI1 Nothing.

"A tennessee paper calls the

In a great many respects the
people Of the South have not
been ho@@ish en0ugi-to AN

hog to the market and realize
thirty dollars on it, net, it bea Is
raising cotton"
There is no doubt about the
correctness Of this position.
1t is much easier to raise one
fine hog than it is to raise bale
of cotton.
1t takes very little actual WORK
to raise the hog even when the
feed that he eats is raised on the
farm, as it should be. Hogs will
eat and fatten on most anything
1t would not require half the
amount of labor to raise dozen
fine hogs that it requires to raise
dozen bales of cotton.
There is always a demand for
meat and lard. There would be
no trouble to sell these products
Beginning with the running OF
the first fulroW until the last lock
of cotton is picked, consider how
much time and labor it takes tC
make Just one bale of cotton.
The price IS always uncertain.
Cotton went up Friday more
than half Of cent, but it may
go down in less than week.
Suppose, however, cotton bring
l25 cents pound this fall, and il
is scarcely likely to bring more
how much it cost to make bale
of cotton, and buy meat, lard ant

Right here good suggestion
can be made.

An Observation
The Neshoba Democrat., 1909-07-08
Is it True That Human
ity is Thus Divided.

An ingenious Engli hman has
recently coined the following
description of human beings.
He says:
"There are two cateoories Of
instinct and conduct. One in
cludes the men vino de- what is
right without knowing it, and
know what is wrong without
doing it. The other, those who
do what is wrong without know
me it, and know what is right

That is an ingenious definition.
is it not !
1t is worth thinking over and
nlyzing, in an unoccupied
moment, in a street car, for inst
ance. To take some one thing
and think about it is better
exercise for the brain than to
wonder where the opposite got
her hat.
1t is undoubtedly true that
millions Of human beings do
what is right without knowing
it," And they do what is right
without thinking about it. or
making any fuss over it. There
are thousands who AUTOMATICALLY
risk their lives to save life.
They do not have to think about

that have sacrificed their lives
and everything to the care Of
their children. They haven't
thought about it. they haven't
realized it; they have simply
been too happy to do it,
And luckily, also, for the
world, there are many who know.
what Is wrong, without doing if.
There are millions Of men who

and the moral realization is en-

fence to teach them.
Also, it is true that many do

that for centuries ENCOURAGED
yonng widows to burn themsel-
YES alive, were the vilest of
brutes, but they didn't know it.
The monsters Of today that
grind up the lives of children in
their mines and mills and factor
les commit the most shameful
Of crimes. But they really do
not actually know what they d..
They could not do it if they
knew it. But the public ought
to make them know it, with Jail
and stripes and every pusish-
ment.
One Of the most encouraging
thoughts that can come iuto the
mind is this; Evil is done by
men that do not know they are
doing evil. Absence Of knowl-
edge is evil. And therefore,
education and knowledge can
conquer evil in this earth and
will conquer 1t. There is en-
enlargement for us all in that
Thought.
1t is true that large classes

hope not. Those that know the
right, usually do the right, For
the intelligence and character r
capable Of realizing the right dis,

the qualities that tell them ir-
resislibly to do what is right.
This Engllahman, we think,
has invited in a moment of
smartness, as Englishman do, an
interesting phrase, worth think
: ing about and talking about.

truth doesn't fit very we'll and looks

Too Much System
THE REASON WHY so MANY
WOMEN BREAK DOWN.

WHILE system is no doubt very
good thing. yet there are many
times when It works great harm.
Some women spend their lives plan
ming work beforehand, and then when
things don't come out right they worry
themselves to death. This is a pecul-
tarity of housekeepers-the decree that
certain things shall happen on certain
days. and if Mondays work happens to
leak over into Tuesday they almost
have a fit
Sometimes the rooms don't have to
be swept quite so often or the silver
cleaned or the windows washed, but
the martinez of housekeeper takes
no account of whether they need it or
not She has arranged that they shall
be done on certain days, and done they
are. regardless of the crush of extra
work that may intervene. We all know
the woman who sets herself a task of
housecleaning by a certain date every
spring and task of preserving and
picking every fall. She would do both
these things and finish them by GER
tain date IL the heavens were falling
or she were on the verge of nervous
prostration.
derwear and table linen in sets, who
must have dozens of this and dozens
OF that, who fret and worry their lives
counting these things and keeping them
in order and seeing that they are used
at the proper times.
They have hard and fast rules, too in
regard to what their servants shall
wear and how they shall act and how
many. nights and how late they shall
stay out. They regulate the underwear
of the children and of the man of the
house by system. The middle of Octo-
Der is the time for winter flannels,
whether it is cold enough for them or
not 1t is the same thing about leaving.
them off in the spring.
These women treat themselves as
vigorously as they do others. They
have no mercy or pity on themselves.
They rise at fixed hour, regardless of
how they feel. when half an hour longer
spent in bed would save them from a
sick headache all day.
