The Dairy Cow.

Bulletin to Herald from National Dairy Union
The dairy COW does more than
bring financial success to the dairy
f6lmer. She makes him better citi-
zen than he would Otherwise be. Her
influence upon home conditions is a
most pleasing contribution to those
factors which are responsible for the
changed conditions which prevail in
the farm homes of today. Thousands
of these homes are now characterized
by comfort and happiness where for
merly they were blighted by drudg-
cry and unhappiness.
Better financial conditions Have
contributed to this change, and the
dairy COW has been in no small meas
ure responsible. She has contribu-
ted in still another way. The dairy
CO. teaches kindness. Her owner
soon earns that only by treating her
kindly v he secure the highest pos
sible return from her, and she re-
spends quick to kind words and
proper care. t. II disposition is one
that the human iamlly might well
emulate. She is patient and long
Suffering, acquiescing mntely in the
arrangements made by her owner for
carrying on the dairy business,
striving at all times to repay him
for every effort made for her care
and comfort.
The members of the family, as
they come in contact with her and
her kindly disposition, are influenced
for good, AS they appreciate the
financial benefit to come from caring
for her we'll they take a deeper in
terest in her. In doing so they un
consciously cultivate those qualities
which make them better citizens.
The dairy cow-the prototype of
mans best friends welding
greater influence than she is gener
ally credited with. She has always
been found in the front ranks in the
march of civilization and no agricul-
al country can long prosper wlthou;
her. She is potent factor in the mp
building of stch a country, financial
ly, and socially, and wise peop,c
will appreciate her and encourage th
industry of which she is the founda

Trapping the Eye In ADVERTISING.

In the average American city ten
per cent. of the people who see the
newspapers cannot read, IS per cent

Intelligent and Is per cent are ex-
elusive" is the theory advanced BY
F.. 3D. scotford of the college of adver-
Using in the University of California.
AN advertisement Ineligible to the
illiterate class is comprehensive to all
the rest, but when advertisements are
written for the higher classes they
do not reach the lower. At a glance.
or In one twenty-fifth of a second. the
average eye can see four objects. Five
objects can be seen in one-fifth of a
second and under ordinary conditions
this is considered glance"

disobey the statute they are subject

any grand juror, officer or witness

MURDER.
Gentlemen, Mississippi is fast get
ting wide repution for crime, which
indeed is very unenvlable. Homicides
are becoming more numerous. Ere
quently we read in the daily papers
where some person has been shot
down as if his life were not of
any more value than that of a dog.
Holy Writ tells us that when
God handed down the law from
Mount Sinai. to the CHILDREN OF
Israel, through that great biblical
character, Moses, it read: Thou
shalt not kill, and the punishment
laid, read: And he that killeth any
man shall surely be put to death. y
The lawmakers of this country and
all other civilized countries have fol
lowed the divine law, and say: Thou
shalt not kill without justification,
the punishment being Imprisonment
in the penitentiary, or death.
In order to check the homicides
that are being committed, the juries
of the country should exercise the
proper regard for the present and
rising generations by convicting
murderers, and let the court inhict
the proper punishment, which they
in many instances, so justly and rich
ly deserve. When homicide is com
mitted, scheming and Juggling begin
on the outside to create q sentiment
in favor of the accused, the chief aim
being to influence the grand jury
and keep down an Indictment, and
and thereby throttle and prevent jus
tice. The reason that homicdes in
this country are on the increase,
petit jurieS are often influenced to
such an extent, they wholly ignore
the testimony and by their verdicts
and under their solemn oaths, permit
murderers to escape conviction.
1t is lamentable and regrettable
fact that the courts bubble over and
lay entirely too much stress on tech
nicalities. They explore the shadow
instead of the substance, and let many
guilty parties escape the penitent;ary
or galiows, through some technical
loop-hole known to the law, without
asking themselves, does the evidence
warrant his conviction and shall jus
tice be melted out to him?
Gentlemen, unQuestonably this is
the reason that men in this country
commit murder with perfect i'm
punity. They are emboldened
and encouraged to do so because they
have three means of escape, that is
Through the grand jury room, petit

The Only Paying Kind,

The retail shoe merchants of Ohio.
In annual session, declared that news.
paper advertising is the only kind that
pays and condemned the bill board
and dodgers. One by one the various
lines are learning that money spent in
the newspapers means more sales and
more clerks. 1t can always be no
ticed that the merchant who does not
advertise is the one who stands in his
front door wishing that the many who
pass would some Of them come IN.
Advertising is standing invitation
which needs no r. s. v. p. "a.

The Press The Watch Dog of The Law.

! The remedy for this evil is largely
through the press, the vehicle of
thought, the defender of truth and
the palladium of republican institu-
tions. 1t has an eagle eye that ever
watches the purity aud welfare of
society and government. Whenever
the criminal laws are trodden under
foot and trailed in the dust, and muir
derers are acquitted and turned loose
upon society without punishment,
the press backed up by the law abid-
ing people, ought to probe to the
core and segregate the responsible
branch of the court which caused
justice to be miscarried, and heap
words of condemnation scorn upon
their heads, so heavily that it would
soon bring about wholesome results.
Then public sentiment would be so
moulded for right to be done and
the sanctity of the law obeyed, jurors
would be afraid to connive at and en-
courage crime, 1t would deter evil
doors and cause them to think seri-
ously before taking human life. The
press, aided by law and order citi-
zens, can accomplish this great feat
because ia the past it has made kings
tremble upon their lettering thones.
1t has unlocked mouasteries; and,
through it justice has unsheathed to
sword OF liberty, vengeance has re-
turned it safel y to the ark Of freedom.
Through its instrumentality, the
down-trodden and desolate regions of
the earth have been made to rejoice,
the wilderness and solitary places
have been made glad, and the deserts
have blossomed as the rose. 1t has
added to them the glory of Lebanon"
and vouchsafed tine eXcellency of
Carmel and Sharon" and given them
the bright hope of immortality,
The Commercial Appeal, in an edi-
torial, recently asked this question:
Shall we have the reign of the mob
or the reign Of the law? Shall we
have mob rule or law rule all over the
South and the United StatesY'My an
swer is, no; provided the people wake
up and realize the perilous situation
and demand of the courts speedy tri-
ais and convictions at the hands of
the juries, and an atfirmance of the
judgments by the higher courts, with
out letting criminal escape through
a technicality when the right conclu-
sion has been reached by the lower
court. 1t is startling to note the
number of murderers, rapists and
other felons of Mississippi, who es
cape arrest. The largest per centape
of such criminals are negroes, and
the reason they cannot be apprehend-
ed by the officers of the law, it is a
we'll settled fact that this race of peo-
pie in Mississippi are in sympathy
with criminal of their color, and
will aid to the fullest extent IN his
escape, and at no time, or under anv
circumstances will they divulge his
place OF hiding. Go to one of their
homes in search of felon and ask if
John Smith has been seen and
times out of one hundred
the answer will be, no. sir: and at
that very moment, he may be secret
ed in the house or around the pre-
misses, and such is the result whether
he be OF kin, friend or foe to the
family.

GENERAL SUMMARY.

Judge Buckley took occasion to
congratulate the Grand Jury upon
the good condition existent in Greene
County with reference to high crime.
He called attention to the fact that
there we're no homicide cases, and
but one felony in which conviction
was had. He deprecated the amount
of cursing and carrying liquor to
public places that was brought to
the attention of the court and sta
ted that with the cooperation of the
good people he would break up such
carousing at our public gathering ste
which we append hearty AMEN!

Gentlemen, the Code requires me
to charge you concerning your duties
and expound the law which l may
deem proper, and that l shall par
ticularly give you IN charge, certain
criminal statutes which 1 will
take up seriatim.

There was one recommendation
that the Grand Jury of last week did
not make to the Court with reference
to the Jail, that we are sorry they
overlooked, but as its in the class Of
scientific, could not structure them
for letting it escape their body, as
the general mass Of people are just
beginning to be awakened by the ed
ucational forces at work along that
line. This is the screening of the
jail to keep out malaria( injecting
mosquitoes, and typhoid aud intesti-
nal disease breeding flies. Right
now one of the prisoners is highly
feverish, and we can attribute it tC
nothing less than the chronic crop Of
mosquitoes who are bound to Turk
within the walls OF the county bas-
tile pumping their malarial propoga-
ting poison into the veins of those
incarcerated therein and hence help,
less to defend themselves against the
invasion and bites Of the pesby in
sects. Lets have the jail properly
screened ere another Summer,

The question is being raised by
some Of the lawyers of the state, no
tably the Jackson bar, that the Con-
stitutional Amendments carried in
the general Election held early this
month, will not stand the test of the
Supreme Court, or rather that one
bearing on the Election of our Cir
cult Judges and Chancellors, from
the fact that the Constitution pro-
vdes that every amendment must be
separately submitted to the people,
and their opinion is that the bunch
ing of these two officers by the leg
islature in framing the bill, will
prove fatal to it as they hold that
the Office of chancellor and circuit
judge are distinctly separate class of
offices. This bubble was heard when
these amendments were up once be-
fore. And now after the ratification
of the bill by the people these law
yer opponents get busy with such
objection raising again. The A
mendments should be constitutional
ly ratified and if there be a flaw in
the present legislation, THE PEG
PIE will yet get what they demand
by taking another start. Lets write
Elective Judiciary into, our organic
law, rightly aud lastn a'y,
