ALL RECORDS BROKEN.

The present senatorial caucus has
broken all previous records, and the
end is still not in sight, it having
run longer than any similar caucus,
having been drawn out over more
days than when George was nom
mated in 1880, McLaurin in 1894
and Money in 1896, though a less
number Of ballots have been taken,
caused by the short daily sessions.
Frequently six votes were taken at
an evening session Of the other eau
cuses, while the rule in this has
been to take less than half that
number at any sitting.
When will the end come? is the
question all are asking, and which
no one can answer, says the Clarion
Ledger.
Vardaman men were saying,
when the caucus was first called
that a nomination would be made
within three ballots, after "favorite
sons had received a few compliment
tary votes But, like many of the
other predictions, this prophecy
went for naught; and brag and
bluster have given place to serious
thought and calm deliberation, for
the leading candidate seems nc
nearer the goal than On the first day
of the b~alloting, his vote falling and
rising like the other candidates, the
expected increase failing to mater
ialize.
Two of the Opposition have
withdrawn, and still the leading can
didate has not made any gain upon
the conservatives, who are more ag-
gressive than ever before and an
uounce with certainty that one OF
their number will win the senatorial
honors, all scouting the 'da1kho1se'
idea, and ridiculing the suggestion
that the Legislature may adjourn
without electing a senator.
The feeling is more acute than
it has ever been. The conservatives
are drawing their lines closer and
closer, and feel that its friends will
stick and deal a singing blow te
radicalism. Let the good work &C
one; conservatism is the fttest in
all phases of social activity.

ORIGINALITY.

We usually admire originality in
the other fellow, and straightway
proceed to cultivate it out of our
selves, our friends and any one
else who happens to be sufficiently
susceptible to our influence.
Why? Generally from lack of
self confidence, I think. We be-
lieve that that which is done by a
number of our acquaintance, is all
right. Not because it appeals to
US as particularly appropriate OF
sensible; but we reason uncon-
sciously perhaps, that there must be
some good cause for it, or so many
would not practice it, and thereupon
we adoptthe custom and add to its
weight of precedent.
The result is a set of conventions
that govern human action, dress
and fashion. Some of them are
more or less graceful and appropri
ate, but many are silly, ridiculous
painful and even injurious.
A certain amount of convention.
ality may be desirable, but UNTOLD
damage has been and is still being
done, by trying to force square
pegs of humanity into round holes
of custom. Original thought and
action is stifled; natural capabilities
are dwarfed and restricted; and not
only the individual but the world
is often the loser.
Dare to be natural. Dress as te
you seems becoming. Have your
own thoughts and opinions, act up.
on them and stick to them, unless
convinced by your own reason thai
they r erroneous. Bear in mino
that you must stand or fall by your
own capabilities and efforts. Tha
what is desirable for another is no
necessarily so for you.
If you have a bright idea, crys
talize it on paper, study it in all it
bearings and if it still seems good
act upon it. Conventionality i
generally said to be safe. 1t may
with more truth, be termed suicid
of individuality. You may exis
upon the advice and plans of others
but you won't amount to much.

Handicap, hurdle or obstacle
races sometimes develop the best
qualities in a horse. Also in men.
The president of one of the largest
railroad systems in America said
recently, in the course of a lecture
before the students of a great col
lege, that this was, with one ex-
ception, his first visit to a college
campus. my alma mater" he con
tinued, "was a sixteen by fifteen
district school in Iowa, sixty-fve
miles from the nearest railroad
The only college yell I ever heard
was that produced by the loggings
of the schoolmaster, and | used tt
give it pretty regularly, too" The
boy with ability need not be dis
couraged if he finds it impossible tt
get the education in college which
he needs. He will succeed in spite
of his obstacles if the seeds of sue
cess are in him.

TO DEVELOP THE DELTA.

Mr.. G. II. Easum, Travelling
Freight Agent of the Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley Railroad, has a real
practical idea of developing the
Delta and make of it the greatest
farming section of the United
States. His plan which has been
Endorsed by the leading planters
and commercial organizations of the
Delta, is to establish agricultural ex-
pertinent stations of 16O or more
acres in every county traversed by
the road. These stations, he sug.
gests, point and put in charge of
expert agriculturists, and " to be
used in raising every variety of crop
that ear be successfully and profit
ably grown in the particular locality
of the station.
With a system of stations such as
these, on which the crops could be
rotated all the year through, Mr..
Easum points out that the railroad
company would have a perpetual in
dustrial exeibit in every county, to
be shown at any season to the home
seeker and investor. He points out
the great value of having the exhibit
growing on the spot over the same
products, cured and harvested and
labeled, under glass cases, to be
transported around for exhibition.
Annual homeseeker excursions
could be run over the system, with
stops at the experiment farms, SO
that the excursionist could see for
himself what can be done by in
dustry and the proper methods.
Mr.. Easum hopes to have his pro.
ject presented to the company with
the Endorsement of the various bus
mess bodies of the state.

IS IT HUMOR OR ISLANDER?

The radical candidate in Mis-
sissippi's senatorial contest has not
hitherto been widely known as a hui
morist, but he is evidently trying to
qualify as a professional jokester.
The current issue of ''The Issue
says:
Every railroad attorney, the rep
resentatives of the lumber trust, the
oil trust. the whlskey tsust, and ey-
cry other trust that does business il
the state Of Mississippi, have their
agents in Jackson fighting my morn
ination. Let a man deny it, and !
will give the names and let the
people judge for themselves"
The above remarkable paragraph
can be given two interpretations. 1t
is either a magnificent bit of four
flushing or a deliberate attempt &c
climb into the same class with Mark
Twain, Private John Allen, Geo.
AIDE and other men who furnish the
supply of American humor.
IF the charge that the trusts have
connived and conspired to prevent
our new humorlst from going to the
United States Senate was intended
as a merry jest, then we viii accept
it as such.
But, if it is intended as a solemn
statement of a purported fact, then
it can be regarded as nothing more
or less than an outrageous SANDER
of four honorable, high-minded gen
tlemen whose lives, both public and
private, have been singularly free
from all corrupting influences.
However, if personal charges and
political mud-slinging are to be
Mgged into this campaign, the pub
lie mind will instantly revert to that
old adage, people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones"

Holidays which come on Satur'
day or Monday are especially CRATE
full to those who hope to enjoy
them, for they give two free days in
succession. This year there are
three such that are generally OBJ.
served, Lincoln's birthday, Mem
orial day and Fourth of July.
Christmas comes on Sunday, but
Monday will be observed as the
legal holiday, and if that is includ-
ed, it makes four. In such states
as observe Labor Day on the first
Monday in September, there will be
another double day of freedom from

During the past fiscal year, &C
cording to official report, wheat ex-
ports declined in aggregate value
from $92, 100000 to $50, 900, 900.
The only farm product that exhib-
tied an advance, was cotton, which
showed loss in amount that was
more than compensated by increase
in price. Our great staple repre-
sented in value nearly one-fourth OF
all the exports of the year; and, as
it was instantly convertible to gold.
it formed the basis and backbone OF
our foreign trade.

OUR AGRICUI URAI REVOLUTION.


The best agricultural education
is that which sets combined method,
progress and result before the eye
of the observer aud right at his
door.
1t IS this sort of practical educa-
ton that the farmers cooperative
demonstration work, under the dl-
rection of DIR. S. A. Knapp, of the
national department Of agriculture,
is trying to put before the farmers
In every county in the United
States.
The extent and purpose Of DR..
knapp's work, as presented by him
in his recent address at Greenville
have been given wide publicity and
cordial approval.
But its vast importance and its
bearing on the future of agricultural
productivity is nowhere better
stressed than by the following spe-
cific instance presented IN an inter
view by Director Martin Y. Calvin.
Of the Georgia experiment station:
In 1900 the South 5 corn acreage
amounted to 34,97O,000 acres; that
Of nine non=eotton states, l6,97S,-
900. The average yield per acre in
the cotton states was 1873 bushels;
the average yield Of the other
states named, q bushels. There is
the rub, and I desire to rub that
fact into the minds of our southern
corn growers. We do not need to
increase the corn acreage in the
cotton states Il acre. The crying
necessity is that We use q fertilizer,
rich in the plant food which corn
must have, with an open hand, IN
diligently
It is DR.. Knapp's work to make
practical demonstration in each Of
the agricultural counties Of thai
which Director Calvin says should
be done.
Southern lands are capable o
growing just as much coin to TIT
given area as those of the north an(
west; DR.. Knapp and his corps 0
experts show the farmer right d
his door just how this can be done
in other words, the method and pro
cess OF getting the greater yield 0
which the land is capable.
}, Seed selection, fertilization, cult
vatlon aid the mechanical condition
Of the soil are all factors which en-
ter into the successful solution 0
this problem, And these factors il
their highest known development
are applied in this demonstration
work where the farmer can watch it
progress from day to day.
In the light of these efforts a clea
duty devolves upon the southern
farmer, a personal as well as d pub
t lie duty.
He owes it to himself to take ad
!, vantage Of the opportunity given t
advance his own interests and thos
Of his family, and he owes it to tn
public to apply these demonstrate
principles and to increase the pre-
ductivity of the soil entrusted t
him.
,, The farmer thus has it within hi
: power to build up his own incom
and at the same time assist in tn
solution of the now too expensiv
problem of living.
