The lowIy worm.
VIII take a brace
And slap the robin
In the face;
The liquor man
Will utter cries
And kippCr half
A dozen drys;
The hot consumer,
What with thrusts
And blows, will kill
Himself some trusts.
And the swimming pupil
Burned and red,
VIII chase his dad
Around the shed.

That feature headed State News"
which appears in the Vlcksburg Her
aid once week, is very relishable
portion of that paper and display
considerable taste and journalistic
acumen in whatsoever member of
their force that puts it together,
though the department is little
misnamed, for it's devoted to repro
auctions from the press of the state
and does not always embody articles
everyone of which could be classed
as news, though every paragraph
presented is of intrinsic worth. 1t
could perhaps be better named The
State Press" or some such title We
found out sometime ago, that one of
the very best, brightest and most at
tractive features a newspaper can
carry is such a one as this, and ours
is run under caption of Other Edi-
tors Chatter" that we have liberty
to swing out beyond the bounds OF
Mississippi journalism, to cabbage an
exceptional Apply paragraph,
though of course we confne ourselves
chiefly to the state exchanges. Our
column of this service has awakened
intense interest not only among our
home county readers but abroad, and
among the other newspapers them
selves A large number of both week
lies and dailies have lately come to
recognize the value of classifying in
some such way as this the accredited
matter they take from their comtem-
poraries. 1t does our journalistic
heart good to see this worthy prac-
tice coming more into vogue.

Our congratulations are herewith
waited to those fortunate editors
who captured the prizes offered by
the City of VickSburg for writeups
of that City since the Press Conven-
ton there, The first prize of S25
went to Mays of the Brandon News;
the second of S15 to Hi Henry of the
Clarion Ledger and the third of so
to Albert Anderson of the Ripley
Sentinel. The committee in making
the awards voiced the sentiment of
Vicksburg in stating that their only
regret was that they could not give
every editor who prepared an article
a prize, for many excellent ones were
written. Vicksburg treated h e
Press folks nice, and we are glad to
read that she feels that the compli-
ment has been handsomely returned.

Speaking of pineapples, have any Of
the pineapple growers done anything
vet to get a higher tariff or better
rates for transportation? If the'pine-
apple growers don't do something,
surely the undertakers and shoemakers
are not going to do it for them. Every
mans business is his own lookout,
and if he don't try to look after it
himself, no one else feels like looking
after it for him.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
ARE CHIEF ROBBERS

Our legislature, as well as the legis-
latures of other states, is particularly
persistent in its hammerings on the
railroads and is commercially active in
it's efforts to regulate questions per-
tanning to transportation so far as the
railroad companies are concerned, but
one hears very little said about the ex-
press company. which is the greatest
and most constituencies rObber of the
people that exists on this continent to-
day.
While we do not stand as the defend
err of the railroads, for they probably
deserve all the knocks they get, and
more too; hut it is the express COM
pany that is levying such AL exorbitant
toll from our farmers and truck grow
ers; it is the express company that by
a we'll entrenched system of robbery is
retarding our state in becoming the
greatest and richest country on earth,
and keeping our growers from becom-
ing independent, and it is the express
company, more than any other corpOr-
alton, that needs legislative regulation.
The express company has an existence
without reason. Any person who can
show agood and satisfactory reason why
an express company should be neces-
sary in the proper handling of freight,
would be entitled to a handsome pre-
MUM. If the railroads and boat lines
are to handle the express, why can they
not handle it as freight and thus re-
lieve the people of the necessity of sup
porting two big corporations when one
could render the service for which they
pay exorbitant toll.-Plant City Courier.
