FRIDAY
EDITORIAL

The editorial in our last issue which
discussed the Greek Society Nuisance
in the State University, is not to be
interpreted as meaning that this ed
itor is so much of gump as not to
recognize that there are stratas of
society. Far from it. We have seen
that since first we CROPPED our way
out of the infantile period. But
natural stratas and artifiiciallv foist-
ed caste system are different things.
There are some in every generation
who tower naturally in mental en-
dowments and inherited culture far
above their fellows, and these are
grouped together iu various stratas
and sub-stratas which begin by steps
with the highest OF natures noble
men, and travel downward group by
group, the real intellectual and other
worth determining the position, un-
til the bottOmmost folks are reached.

erous Natural Enemies.
II is estimated that two-thirds OF
the island OF Ceylon is undermined by
white ants. The number Of these in
sects is certainly quite incalculabIe;
but it is fortunate that their natural
enemies are almost as numerous.
The workers are preyed upon by
ccue ants and many other insects: by
spiders, lizards and centipedes; by
rats, mice and palm squirrels. But it
is the adult winged insects that are
especially victimized. It is probable
that scarcely 1 per cent. Of the mature
insects survive the dangers of the
periodic fights.
They run the gauntlet of nearly
every other animal. Birds, bats,
squirrels, rats, toads and lizards all
sock to the feast. Dogs and salts eat
the winged ants with avidfty.
Even man himself does not dis
dain to participate" says E. E. Green.

OF fried termites as a great dainty,

THE BAR.

In mentioning the bar, we must
always remember that to start off
with LeakesviIle has an array OF
legal talent, rather we should say
Greene County, of which we stand
not ashamed. There's J. g. Alder
man, the oldest resident lawyer OF
the county, and who by the way us
nally as he did this time, has his
name on the docket more times than
any of the attorneys; then comes
Hinkle T. Heidelberg whose hands
are always fall also; then John W,
BackStrOm, and from Lucedaie Tom
r. James. From Merrill this time
L. G. Helms walked in and took the
oath for practice in this circuit
court. Lawyers from elsewhere, Il.

For convenience we usually think OF
society as arranged in three great
classes the elite or most highly
naturally endowed, then the middle or
mediocric and sometimes called bour-
geoisie class, and then the common
herd, and biggest bunch Of whom
Lincoln said the Lord must love them
or he would not have made SO many
of them. The Bible speaks OF Arch
angels and angels; of cheruJ.m and
seraphim, of powers and princes, Of
lords and Lord of all; OF gods and the
GOD Of all (notice the CapitaIs), Of
a ruling class to come out of the re-
deemed who will set on the twelve
tribes of Israel .using figure of
speech, and of the ordinary class Of
those who will enter in. Its against
unnatural classification Of society
that we obi ~; That which builds
artifcialIy on wealth, hereditary en-
vironment, or organiz4tional basis Of
hurtful tendencies, Not against
legitimate existing natural or deter
mined conditions

Undoubted' the merciless and
scathing criticism which EX-Gov.
Vardaman had hurled at our present
Governor, stirred up an animrs IN
certain quarters that contributed
largely to his defeat in the Legisla-
ture for the short term senatorship.
The Noel cohorts joined with the old
time anti-Vardaman crowd. and the
Corporation cleavage OF the state
and by means both fair and foul en-
comprised his defeat. We say foul ad-
visedly, but we believe they were
astu;e enough to rub out their tracks
behind them so that nothing can lie
proven, and with that in mind we
make no specific accusations. Noel
has made weak governor, perhaps
the weakest the state has ever had,
and unquestionably V a rdaman
through his paper theIssue by virtue
of his close proximity and trained
powers to see, has rendered great
service to the state 10 drawing the
attention of the people to the weak
ness of the present administration
that they may learn the lesson to
avoid ever electing again such poor
timber, but Vardaman has temporari
" suffered political loss from it and
Noel and his close friends can hardly
be blamed for their part in it when
we consider the awful severity of the
ex-Governor's pen towards his sue
cessor in the gubernatorial chair.

SELECTING MoTHER-REETs.
Care Must Be Taken to Pick Out
Only Perfect Types.

The all-important thing in beet
growing is good seed. In selecting
mother beets-that is, beets from
which seeds are to be grown, the great
est care must be taken to pick out
only perfect and typical types. They
must conform to many requirements.
They must not be too large, or the
sugar contents will be too low. They
must not be too small, since small
beets are not profitable.
They mustn't have divided tap root
or large side roots, since the richest
part of the beet is in the lower part
of the root. 1t follows that a mother

That process of juggling about
which we alluded to being possible
before the Legislature met, to wrest
the Senatorial plum from the extend
ed hand of EX-Gov. Vardaman, was
successful in the deadlock, as Tues =
day night in the caucus all the oppo-
sition candidates withdrew except
Percy and the ballot showed 81 for
him and 81 for Tardaman, Percy thus
going IN by so narrow margin as
five votes. As we predicted a. tn e
same time as writing about the pos
sible jobbery in the Legislature, we
still believe that Vardaman. will get
benefit from This defeat in the Legis-
lature by the reactionary wave. upon
which we believe he will come il for
the long term in the next regular
Primary election We have heard so
many people and read the statements
of so many who were not Vardaman
men, say that they did not think he
got fair deal and that he should be
given the Senatorial toga by the peo-
pie when the next have chance of
expressing their viii at the polls.

The bachelor is feeling good
And deems himself lucky wight;
He saws and splits 10 kindling wood,
He has no kitchen fire to light.
When day is done his cares are DER
And once in bed he takes his ease;
He need not rise to walk the floor
This chilly night a child to please.
For him there are no household cares,
The breakfast bell his slumber
breaks.
He dresses and desceuds the stairs
To oatmeal, mush and buckwheat
cakes.
For him LIES river smoothly runs,
He's happy, Jolly and content,
He has no wife and little ones
On whom his earnings must be
spent.
Let him enjoy it while he can.

He'll wish he were married man
