Two old cronies went into a drug

Attend to Your Own Business.

The man who gets it into his head
Just right that he should attend to
his own business and not worry so
much about the other fellow, will live
equally as long: die fully as happy,
and possibly have little better time
going through the so-called vale of
tears.
There are people who have nothing
else to do but criticise the clothes
worn by their neighbor; people who
gossips about other folks and forget
that their own back yard is full of tin
cans and dead cats; people who want
to reform the whole universe Of
worlds and who need reforming,
first themselves.
The world is all right some of the
paths are little rough; some Of the
hills little steep-but if you..attend
to your own business and let the 9TH
er fellow attend to his unless you are
invited in either as friend or on
salary, there will not be SO many dis
cordant notes in your life.
Some people like to go fishing
some like to play ball-and if they
want to indulage in these sports or
any other sports, do not constitute
yourself committee Of one to offer
objection. So long as man leaves
YOU alone leave him alone. This is
advice, but it is worth thinking
bout.-Fairbrother's Everything.

WHAT TO WEAR WIEN IN MOURNING
How To Be We'll Dressed Th0uGh
Plunged In Grief.

Whether We approve or not it is un
deniably true that the period ..
mourning is being shortened and i,
evidences made less conspicuous thar
in the years Of the past, say the au.
thorities for mems fashions. Only
rarely nowadays do men wear en-
blems of grief for persons outside OF
their immediate family
First mourning for wife covers
year and for other relatives 81,
months, During the first period
only black and white effects are per.
missible. The scheme calls for deep
hat band, white shirt, either plain OF
with black stripes, and black suit
overcoat, waistcoat, half hose, gloves
and shoes.
The second period of mourning
lasts six months for wife and three
months for any other relative. In
this time gray is correct and mourn
ing band is not worn on the hat.
Black and white effects as we'll as
gray are allowable.
The brassed or sleeve band is in
exceedingly bad form. 1t original
ed in England as All expedient for
servants and others who could not
afford entire change of outfit.
Attendance at social affairs of a
ceremonious character is not expect
ed during the first period of mourn
ing. If Circumstances make it neces-
sary the only change from custo-
mary usage is in day time, black
gloves and cravat, instead of grey,
and in the evening cloth band, not
silk on the silk hat.
Black tie and waistcoat should not
be substituted in the evening for the
white, nor are black studs and links
or black bordered handkerchiefs any
longer approved. These things
savored of parading sorrow and have
wisely been abandoned The prim-
ary purpose of black is to prevent
such embarrassment as might arise
from ignorance of bereavement on
the part Of those met. .-Ex.

SUCCESS OF The FLYING MACHINE.
Has Been Fully Demonstrated The
Ace Of Miracles.

From the earliest ages of the idea
Of flight has taken hold of the imag-
ination Of man. It's seeming i'm
possibility baffied ingenuity and dar-
ing for thousands Of years. First
the land was conquered, then the
sea brought under dominion. But the
air defed man for so many centuries
that its navigation was regarded as
a wild dream, like a trip to mars or
signaling the sun. Not many years
ago few ardent minds turned their
attention to the subject. At least,
in 1903, two young Americans, after
long experiment, devised a machine
heavier than air thai would actually
| fly. The old "dirigibles," the
Zeppelins, Baldwins and Beachys,
we're merely floating ballons, and
the Improvement was in securing
control Of their movements. But
the aeroplane was the first real "fy-
ing machine" In a year or two
there has been more progress in
the art Of flight than in a dozen cen
turies before.
Even a year after the feats Of the
Wright brothers many doubted the
practicability Of the aeroplane and
regarded it as a mere toy. Today
its efficiency is we'll established.
The fight Of Chas. K. Hamilton from
New York to Philadelphia and re-
turn, made with the speed of the
express train, will scarcely be re-
markable in a few months The
world had hardly ceased to thrill at
the feat Of Bleriot in flying across
the English channel before Orville
was carrying a passenger to Fort
Meyer and rushing to Alexander at
40 miles an hour. Lcuis Paulham's
flight from London to Manchester,
England, 18O miles, was accomplish
ed in II hours, April %. On May
80 Glenn Curtiss flew from Albany
to New York, 1877 miles, in 152 min
utes-nearly 55 miles an hour. On
June End Charles Stuart Rolls doub-
led Bleriot's feat by crossing the
English channel and returning with
out alighting, in so minutes. On
the same day Hamilton made his
New Lork-to Philadelphia tour.
Walter Brookins, a pupil of Wilbur
Wright's, scared into the air at
Indianapolis to height of 1884 feet
not far from a mile high.
Complete control over the aero
plane has been demonstrated.
Hamilton, Curtiss, the Wrights,
Belriot and Paulham guide their
machines with perfect ease. There
is no longer any question that the
flying machine has arrived" There
was Just as much doubt a few years
ago as to the practicability of the
automobile as there is now Of the
aeroplane. Motor cars have become
all too common, and in a few years
flights from Washington and Balti-
more to New York will attract no
more attention than a weekend run
in an automobile. The motor car
racers who thrilled the public so
short time ago are being supplant-
ed in popular favor by aviators, who
are speeding through the air with
promise of no less velocity than the
speedmad chauffeurs attained on
land.
This is the age of miracles. Even
the flying machine is only one more
step in the path of progress. and in
a few years that too, will be sup
planted by some new wonder which
will startle the world for awhile and
give way in it's turn to some still
greater mircle of human genius

SftAIORiM RAGE
AUSPICOUSLY OPENED


The Senatorial contest has been
formally opened and an interest
ing three-cornered bout is prom
ised. From now on until election
day the voters Of our state will be
given ample opportunity to care
fully weigh the claims of each as
pirant. All we hope is that the
race will be conducted on a high
tone plane, and that the people
will not be nauseated with dema-
gogic politics.
At Gloster Wednesday, in spite
Of a heavy downpour of rain, a
large crowd assembled to hear
the eloquent addresses of Senator
Percy and Hon. G. H. Alexander.
Hon. Tom Shelton, of Brookhaven
was also present to air his Con-
gressional claims. :
Here the speakers were intro
duced by Hon. w. D. Caulfield,
MI. Alexander speaking first. His
speech was clear cut, convincing,
and replete with policies of the
highest ideals. The body Of his
speech was divided into two parts
/ measures and men.
Senator Percy was next and
his hearers were delighted with
the forcible manner in which he
argued his claims. He gave the
crowd much political food for
thought, and presented his claims
in a most eloquent manner.
Thursday the candidates were
to Lauderdale Springs, where q
large picnic, Woodmen celebration
and other festivities were thor
oughly enjoyed. The speakers
were in eloquent trim, and helo
the close attention of the Grove
assembled.
From now on the course of each
candidate will be watched with in
terest, and their claims will bt
carefully weighed. From all APP
pearances the race promises to be
a spirited one. The result viii
give us the man best qualified fol
the place. This means that thu
voters of the state will back w
the sentiments of the recent legis
lature and send a conservative
Representative to the Senate.

COTTON CROP
IS DOlN6 BETTER


&%
Cotton in the South has grown
more in the past seven days than
in any other similar period this
season, a fact due generally to
high temperatures. Where the
rainfall has not been excessive, as
it was in some portions of the
state, which was in scattered To-
calities, cultivation made rapid
progress. Still, in certain parts
soggy grounds have retarded cul-
tivation.
The plant though small for this
period of the season, is healthy
and sturdy, the warm weather adj
ding much strength, and bids fair
to overcome some of its lateness.
In some parts of the state grass
has become a menance, but this
damage can be repaired with two
weeks of favorable weather.
The corn crop shows consider.
able improvement and is really
full of promise. Some hot winds
have caused a wee damage, but
the scattered rains have stimulat.
ed the growth and made the stalk
sturdy.
The much dreaded boil weevil
in some parts of the state, and ov'
er the South, are numerous an6
destructive in certain localities, bu'
over the entire area infested ap'
pear rather less in evidence thar
is usual at this time.
The most encouraging feature
