force of men, are to begin work on the hill at
Whites Corner Monday This is to be the first
attempt at permanent road building in this
section of the town and may the results be so
satisfactory and beneficial and public sentiment
so aroused that the good work may continue
until every hill is graded and every mire-hole
filled with rocks, of which we have never
failing supply. Nearly every taxpayer from
Whites Corner to the Monroe line has agreed
to give day or more of labor, with team if
necessary, to assist in this work, the import

HERE is SOME GOOD NEWS.
Butter is TO be Cheaber-Reduehon j,
Tariff Makes Cheaper.

New York, April 4.-Dealers in the
wholesale butter market here predicted
today that result of the reduction in
the tariff on cream from II to S cents
a gallon there will shortly be large guam
titles of fcheaper butter offered to con-
sumers in New York, Chicago and other
cities within reasonable distance of the
Canadian border. A chain of creameries,
it is said, is to be built along the Ca
madam frontier which will make butter
from Canadian cream and will be able to
market their products at a reduction of
rs per cen t from the current price.

WITH FAINT PRAISE

A car load of home grown syrup was
shipped from Liberty, Miss, to northern
markets a few days ago, and it is said
to have brought good prices. There will
be more genuine prosperity in this sec
ton of the south when more of our far
mers abandon the all cotton fallacy.
We clip the above from a prominent
south Mississippi paper.
A considerable number of our journal
lists damn with faint praise" their
counties and agricultural achievement
published. The report of achievement
would in itself be an admirable adver-
tisement, but when coupled with reflections
upon general conditions, it is pearl in a
swill tub, doing more harm than good.
The verriest bosh that can be praised
is the talk about 'the all cotton fallacy'
which is common feature of the writ
ings of many newspaper men, oindicat-
ing woeful ignorance of conditions exist
might be corrected by a moments perusal
of the census reports for their own coun-
ties-reports that always minimize and
never exaggerate.
Now we have often asserted as results
of study and canvass of the state in that
behalf, that there is no commonwealth in
the Union where diversirication in farm,
orchard, live stock and garden industries
is more general than in ours, and the CEN
sus of 1910 will amply sustain it.
The paragraph quoted, with the COM
ment would indicate that the cane syrup
industry was new to Amite county, in
which Liberty is located, whereas the CEN
sus of 1900 reported product of 35A23
gallons, or enough to load a whole train
of cars, and nearly hogshead of sugar,
and doubtless the industry has been stead
lily advancing in the succeeding decade.
But during tat census year Amite county
was doing many other things. 1t was
making 2I,895 bales of cotton, housing
s5S,26o bushels of corn; $3.50 of oats; TO-
9S2 of Irish potatoes; 1881 of sweet po-
tatoes; 1889 of peas; I,4I6 of peanuts
clipped $40 pounds of wool; making 49,
$40 pounds of honey; $4,000 dozen of
eggs; 1880 quarts of strawberries $99.-
49, worth of dairy products; $47,o49
worth of miscellaneous vegetables.
Then it reported 3,223 sheep; 2o,S75
hogs-or about one for each bale of cotton
-1A4o6 head of cattle; 44S mule and
horse colts; 462 goats.
Now the illustration we present of the
minimum industries of Amite county
should suggest introspection to many care
less writers OF our state. If they would
study local conditions and report local
exploits without giving them the tinge
of local miracles, they would give the
world a much better opinion of the state,
and the farmers of their respective coun-
ties the credit and encouragement that
is due them.
Mississippi is always going to make
all the cotton it can and will Always be
found in the line of progressive husbandry.

THE WOES THAT KILL.

A Pennsylvania has committed suicide
because his son murdered his wife and
was hanged.
Seems reason enough for suicide, doesn't
tiff there is any such thing as reason
for suicide?
No more cruel and crushing calamity
can come to any man than his sons turning
out to be murderer and being hanged.
There is deepest shame in it, as we'll
as the keenest sorrow the heart can know.
II is the most irremediable of all woes.
One may live to make amends for his own
crimes or sins, but none-can ever make
amends for murderer that has been hang
ed
But the peculiar thing about this, as a
cause of suicide, is its great rarity. Muir
ders are common. Heart-searing suffer
ing be caused of them is common. Yet
there can be recalled very few instances
of victims of this greatest of human ca
lamities resorting to suicide.
Indeed, it is seldom we hear of vistims
of any really great calamities seeking re-
lief in suicide.
1t is strange how, under the really
great sorrows, we bear up. Strange how
these actually give us new strength, not
only to bear but to overcome.
