MONTE CHRISTIE" is always
new to Us with its ever appealing
romance Of MYSTERY, vengeance and
riches. Alexandra Dumas huiided
better than he knew when he wrote
the story of Edmun Dantes, it Is
now numbered among the one
hundred great books Of the world
Stories may come and stories may
go, but MONTE CRISTO, 50 like
Uncle Tom s Cabin, seems en-
dowed with perpetual youth. As "a
play it Is one of the most popular
with the theatre goers, and the hero,
Edmund Dantes, is a part sought
after by many actors. Mr.. W. II .
Lemle, who is now being featured
as Dantes in Fred G Conrad's pro
duction of MONTE CRISTO' for
the third season, has given the
character much study and is classed
as being one of the best imperona-
ters Of Dumas romantic French
man. Mr. Lemle is well fitted by
nature for the part in every way
he possesses the figure, voice and
face, and brings to his work a ripe
experience and schooling with some
of the best artists Of the dramatic
profession. Mr. Lemle will appear
here as Edmund Dantes at the
Opera House

Our Alfalfa Lands.

Right here near West Point are
some of the finest and most valua-
bic lands that can be found in the
South. And to think that this land
could have been bought a number
of years ago for a mere song. We
understand that Stacy Hibbler has
a standing offer of 500 per acre
for his place and has refused
SIS per acre rental. 1t is not over
twenty years ago that the Leader
advised the people to make invest
ments in these lands ut from SIS
to $40 per acre. Western prospec-
tors could not understand why they
were SO low, and concluded there
wac something wrong about them.
Now they see their folly.-West
Point Leader.
The entire prairie section of Mon
roe county, which is a good part Of
the county's area, is land OF the
above class. A number Of our pro-
gressive prairie farmers are sowing
their lands to alfalfa, and thus far,
have been exceedingly gratiied
with results.

The Law and Order Move.

The gambling dens and dives Of
Jackson have been exposed 10 the
films of camera operated by a
"a preacher-detective, who has been
acting for the law and order league
IF that city. OF course, in a city
the size Of Jackson, much immoral
ity and lawlessness necessarily ex-
ists and amy one who goes out in
search for it ON still hunt, will
turn much IF it up. But that does
not go to show that the capitol city
is worse than others of its size.
The fact is all of our towns are too
much cursed with immortality and
vice. and the condition, each year,
grows more and more menacing.
1t is attributable TO laxity in en-
forcement Of the laws In some Of
the towns, some of the officers ac-
tually belong to the vicious ele-
ment, and help, each night, to raise
Cain in the bells and dives Of in
guilty. Others abet lawlessness by
passing it by for political populari-
ty.
The Weekly believes that public
sentiment In a community deter
mines It's status of morals and or
der For that reason, the stir
among the citizens Of Jackson will
have good effect and the contagion
viii spread to other towns. a
preacher-detcctive incognito, with
camera, could snap some interest
ing pictures right here in Aberdeen
Such a parsonage is likely to get
here sooner or later, if the Jackson
movement spreads as it promises to
do.
The Weekly is to be understood
as claiming Aberdeen to be as moral
and orderly as any other town Of its
size. but that does not make it per
feet. If it were freer Of vice, it
would be better If public senti-
ment were more active for a clean
er city. or was better informed as
to the true volume of vice existing
here, there would soon be move
ment on foot to make the city purer
than il Is.
The work of publication is Just
begun at the Capitol. Each town
Of the State awaits its coming, and
has the moral element to give it
support and to make it effective.

it is an undeniable fact today
parents have for the most part
shifted into public school teachers
the moral training and general dis
cipline Of life as we'll as intellectu-
al institution. The mother who
has two children-or say five-is
in a constant state of turmoil in
trying to care for them, and she
sends them to school with a sigh of
relief, expecting them to be reared
in all the virtues in punches Of forty
to sixty This is the great trouble
with our system. 1t wears out the
teachers. Any woman who has
taught for twenty years ought to
have a good pension for life. Any
man who has taught thirty years
ought to be in the same category.
The trouble Is that new teachers
will not retire on meagre pensions
until they are compelled by physi-
cal weakness to do so. That is the
wrong which the state should cor

When municipal officers become
so lax in the enforcement Of the
laws as to allow the criminal and
immoral element to run the town,
the time IS ripe for a law and order
league. The work Of the league. in
such cases, is not to enforce the law
itself, but to get rid Of the incom-
petent officers and select Others who
will regard their oaths. Any COM
petent. honest officer can preserve
order, if he will. The trouble il

Blood Hounds for the County.

The Weekly understands that the
Board Of Supervisors is considering
the purchase Of blood hounds for
the county. Such action would
have the endorsement of almost
every citizen. 1t has been demon
strated in other counties owning
dogs that it would be a paying in
vestment. For instance, L.Charles
Harding could not have escaped
capture, if there bad been dogs TO
put on his track as soon as his es-
cape was discovered. There would
be no way in which a criminal
could cover up his trail with the
prevailing environments here, if
dogs were put Immediately upon it..
1t il said that Harding took time to
bury his valise in the suburbs of
the town before taking final drpar-
ture. He would not have dared
this. or probably would not have
broken jail at all, if he had known
there were trained dogs to hunt
him down
The Weekly hopes to see the
Board purchase the dogs as soon as
it can see its way clear.

STIPULATION IN
COMMODITIES.

On the Chicago Board Of Trade,
every year, more than four times as
much wheat is sold as was ever
grown during any year in the whole
world. The same thing, with cotton
as the commodity gambled in, hap
pens on the floor of the New York
Cotton Exchange. In both wheat
and cotton the price has often been
advanced to inflated proportions by
transactions that have been purely
gambling transactionsrthat is, in
the finals; no wheat or cotton has
actually been transferred from seller
to buyer. The main evil of gambl
ing in products which enter into
daily consumption is chat price Of
the com modity is really advanced
by the process. Millers have already
felt obliged to make a raise in the
price of -four because of the great
raise in the price by the manipula'
ton of wheat Futures
OF course, those who are manag
ing the speculative deal are putting
out the talk that there is worlc
shortage in wheat; that there ISM
enough of the bread grain to e
around, etc. That sort of scare has
been worked so often that it is sur
prising that it should ever be needed
