QUA rHiRTy-EleHTH YEAR.

With this issue the Journal
begins its thirty-eighth year and
closes its twelfth year under the
present ownership. With the
appearance Of the, Journal, Tu-
pelo was a struggling village
with a population Of less than
o lie thousand people. The years
that have followed have worked
a revelation and today Tupelo is
one of the most prosperous and
up-to-date inland towns to be
found anywhere in the South.
During this time the Journal has
shared the prosperity of this
section and its business has
grown as the country and town
have improved. It's subscription
list is large and the paper goes
into a great many of the homes
of the people in this and adjoin-
ing counties. The changes that
come and go only add to the
standing of the paper in the
hearts of it's friends and sub
scribers and their loyalty is the
source of much qualification.
While we fall far short of-mak-
ing the paper what it should be,
yet, we will endeavor to bring
about such improvements as are
demanded from time. We sim
cerely trust that the town and
section around may continue to
improve and that the people may
enjoy the improvements a n d
prosperity which come from an
intelligent management of their
affairs.

Judge George Anderson of the
Vicksburg bar is q candidate for
Commissioner Of the Supreme
Court. The business of the court
has grown to such an extent that
the three Supreme Court Judges
are unable to keep up with the
work before it. To relieve the
situation the Legislature has
created the Office Of Supreme
Court Commissioner, two COM
mlssioners being provided for in
the bill. The commissioners will
do the same work done by the
judges in getting up the cases,
but will have no vote in render
ing decisions. Judge Anderson
served several years on the Cir
cult Court bench and is an able
lawyer.

II LIMIT REACHED.

Grenada county is entitled to
the palm in furnishing to the
State the most original and re-
sourceful legislator in the person
of Senator Harper Two years
ago the Senator introduced a bill
which sought to prevent a cred
itor from suing the debtor as
long as the debtor was making
an honest effort to pay. This
was a good measure, but some
cold blooded colleague interposed
an objection and the bill went
dead. During the two years
intervening, however, Senator
Harper has been busy end has
introduced a measure that we
feel can meet with no opposition
and will stand the test of all the
courts. The latest legislative
production from the Senator's
resourceful mind is the follow
ing:
IAN act making it the duty Of
the Mississippi Legislature to ap
propriate money out of the State
Treasury to pay farmers for all
damages to their crops by rain.
drought. boil weevil and other
insects, etc.

istura Of the State Of Mississip-
pi:
Sec. l. That where . farmer
plants his crop and the rain,
drought, boil weevil and other
insects. ETC., shall destroy or
damage any part Of his crop, the
Mississippi Legislature shall ap-
propriate out of anv money in
the State Treasury to aid farm
efS q sum Of money equal to the
amount Of said crops destroyed
or damaged.
Sec. 2. That this act take
effect and be in force from and
after its passage

bill was relerFed made an UNI
favorable report, suggesting that
it be referred to the Massachns

COTTON VERSUS WOOD.

We have frequently called at-
tention to the policy which has
been pursued throughout the
South since the war in buying
flour in barrels instead of sacks.
For the past few years there
has been q effort made in q num-
Der Of the states to do away
with the old barrel and buy the
-four shipped in packed in cotton
sacks. This is the case in Texas
and the barrel is practically out
Of use in that state. A promi-
nent -four salesman has been as
signed the duty by his house OF
compiling statistics to show the
amount paid by the several
counties Of this state in the sales
man territory for barrels. When
the figures are made public we
will furnish them to our readers.
In the meantime however, we
IAN discuss the matter in our
,wn minds and easily arrive at
the conclusion that it would be
che part of economy to use sacks
instead of barrels in buying
flour. A flour barrel costs from
40 to As cents. This same amount
invested in cotton sacks to hold
the same quantity of flour would
be like taking money from one
pocket and placing it in the other,
on the part Of the Southern cot
ton raisers.
The manufacturers of tin use
great ingenuity to have every
thing handled in tin. The old
jug has been superseded by the
tin can for molasses and fruits
are now put UP in tin cans in
stead of in glass jars. The tin
manufacturers are resourceful
and have made the market for
the products of their mines
where no markets existed. AS
a result they received good prices
and have grown immensely rich.
Should the cotton producer and
manufacturer use the same in
genuity, there would be markets
for cotton goods where none ex-
ist-
We have thrown away enough
money in this county buying
flour barrels to have built
macadimized roads all over the
county. It is time to call a halt
and stop this useless waste OF
woney. Those opposed to build
ing good roads can come very
near paying their part of the
tax if they will stop buying flour
in the old wooden barrel. Let's
begin this reform now.

SEE UNIVERSITIES NEED.
T-i.uds of School Hsve Hope Since
Tunket Returns.

1t was tired and tagged but satisfied
party of travellers which stepped of the
university special at the union station
here at II o'clock Friday night, who
had made day of it, spending eieht
hours OH the road and six at the Uni
versity of Mississippi. The party, Doth
the legislators and the accompanying
guests, returned with pleasant recollec-
tions of the reception accorded them and
the hospitable manner in which open
house was profered by Chancellor An
drew A. Kincannon.
If the trip to the university does not
result in general readjustment OF pre-
conceived ideas as to the work that Is
being done there by those who have
hitherto known it only at long range and
by hearsay, it will be surprising. 1t is
not grounds that is needed, but there
is a positive necessity for better and
more substantial buildings, in which
not only to house the people connected
with the university, but to carry on the
courses of instruction for which the
students matriculate, and for equipment
such as will take the institution out
of the suppliant position in which the
authorities find themselves today for
lack of the support that is with reason
considered adequate.
There is no sentiment in the situation,
but it is rather business proposition,
added to which is that degree of state
pride which is felt by every man who
has ever been connected with the uni
versity. As stated by Chancellor Kin
cannon it was not a case in which the
assembly of that fine body of instruc-
tors and students was for the purpose Of
comforting favor or honor on the visit
ing body, deeply as they were welcomed,
but rather the reverse. The legislature
had honored itself and performed
solemn duty to all the people of the
great state of Mississippi, and he had
no doubt the result would be a liberal
and practical education as to conditions.
The legislature had done the right thing
by going in a body to inspect and study
those other two great educational III
situations for which they are asked TO
vote money, but it did no harm to re-
mind them that had it not been for the
university there would hardly have been
either an agricultural and mechanical col
lege or an industrial institute, institu-
tions that are today the pride Of the
state and which compare favorably with
any other of the kind in the South.
There are today four hundred and odd
students at the University, and every
available foot of living room is neces-
sarily pressed into service in order to
| accommodate them

and chivalry and devotion and sacri-
flee and courage. In a word, he is in
vested with halo all his own.
Occasionally l have met a mission
airy, usually young and second-rate,
who takes himself quite as seriously
as his friends at home take him, and
VINO, we'll aware that he is one of the
noble army of martyr spirits, goes
about wearing his halo with all the
sef-consciousness of girl with a new
Easter hat. Most missionaries, on
the other hand, feel foolish because of
the false attitude in which they are
thus placed by their idealizing ad-
mirers at home. Some of them have
used quite unmissionary forcibleness
of speech on this point They say
that they are neither extraordinary
saints nor heroes, and that they are
net living lives of physical hardship
ard sacrifice; those who really have
hardsiips say nothing about them.
That in reality they do not correspond
to the image of themselves ever being
held up in sermons, speeches and
articles, no one knows quite so well
as themselves. If permitted to speak
frankly, they would say, as many have
said to me, that they have fewer ma
terial discomforts than the average
home missionary or country pastor:
that they are ordinary men and wom-
en-, with all the limitations of human
nature, who are trying to do one sort
of Christian work, which, whatever it's
glamour when seen ten thousand
miles away, is in actuality beset by
all the difficulties and discourage
ments of religious endeavor at home.
besides certain other hindrances due
to the non-Chrisrian training and be-
liefs of the natives. They would plead
for a little less romance and a little
more reality in dealing with the for
cign mission propaganda; for neither

cism. But first let me say that, in
investigated the subject, l DO not be-
lieve in an Europeans trying to live
as natives live. The China Inland
Mission early adopted that method,
and it has been obliged to maintain
hospital and sanitorium, and to in
valid-home a large percentage of its
workers. AS a consequence, the prac-
tice of conforming to the native life
is less general even in this organiza-
ton than formerly. A white man can
not live as a yellow man, and keep
his health; serious and costly mis-
takes have been made by missionaries
ATTEMPTING to do so. AS to the wear
ing of native dress, little need be
said: most missionaries in the in
terror do so. in order to appear inco1-
spicuous, and because Chinese clothe5
are comfortable, cheap and easily OBJ
tanned. There are disadvantages in
living a hundred miles from button.
Nevertheless, in many cases-by no
means in all-the error is made on
the side of failure to conform as close
ly as possible to native style. My own
Judgment has affirmed the criticism
made to me in numerous SPECIFIC
cases, that the dwellings of the mis-
sionaries are entirely too sumptuous
for persons of their vocation. Rightly
or wrongly, the church and the world
associate the idea of sacrifice with the
missioEary's calling; the natives, too,
quickly come to see the apparent dis
crepancy between the preaching of
self-denial and the practice of material
luxury; some of the most serious
structures upon the missionary's style
of living have come to me from native
preachers. Often, am convinced, the
fault lies directly with the boards at
home; some missionaries have lament

ADDRESS TO THE FARMERS.

jackson, Misc. H. Afford, spe-
cial agent of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, issued the follow
ing address to the planters Of Missis-
sippi:
The first thing which the farmers
should do is tc put in a good crop CT
corn, vegetables, etc, SO that the living
for the family and stock will be made
economically and with as little advance
as possible. Of course, the bankers and
merchants must to limited extent sup
ply the farmers who will follow progress
sive methods. The credit system is the
curse of the South, but such chronic
disease cannot be cured at once.
There is only one hope, and that is to
grow all the farm products necessary for
home use.
The farmers in the boil weevil terri
tory who will reduce their cotton acreage
to from six to eight acres per mule and
cultivate it according to the government
methods will probably make good crops.
Thoroughly pulverize the soil four or
five inches deep, so that the cotton will
grow off in a hurry. Little cotton can
not grow off well in a mass of colds.
