The Bribery Scandal.

The deeper the Investigation at
Jackson goes, the dirtier the mess
becomes. One remarkable thing
about it is that all the testimony
is to the effect that no scandal
touches any Of the men who vOt-
ed for Percy. All the bribed, and
sought to be bribcd men, if there
was really any bribery done, were
Vardaman men. AS private John
Allen says, there seems to nave
been several legislators running
around Jackson holding out their
hands seeking to be bribed. An
other feature is that not one of
those alleged to have been zap
preached" took the least Offense
at the insult. COwart took it in a
humorous vein and joined in the
Joke. BiIbO took the money, &C
cOrding to his own account, broke
faith with his purchaser and then
exposed the affair, but he has not
felt insulted yet.
We are glad that none of the
Noxubee delegation is mixed up
in the matter in the slightest way.
Senator Price was invited to par
ticipate in an EXPOSE of n OF
the alleged bribcry-givings, but
with his usual good sense and
Judgment refused. He said he
had no confidence in the thing
and that is about what most peO-
pie think of it.

To Strengthen the Organization.

If we controlled the organiza-
ton Of the Farmers Union, and
sought to achieve its success and
supremacy from a financial and
business as we'll as educational
stand point, we would pIeace its
management in the hands Of a
commission to include one able
lawyer, one promint banker or
fnancier, one thoroughly eXper-
fenced and conservative produce
handler, one eminent statistioian
and several scientific, progress
i've farmers, all we'll salaried-a
combination like that would be
"a world BETTER" and competent
cope with all conditions and con-
functions Of men and circum-
stances.
1t would be able to shape leg
islation favorable to the farming
industry, without conflict, or in
any way trenching upon the
rights of those engaged in any
other laudable industry, and to
thwart the schemes of those
seeking legislation inimical to
legitimate husbandry.
1t would understand financial
and trade conductions and their
relative relation to production
and consumption, and be able to
wisely advise the vast constitu-
ency of the field and plow.
That is the class of employees
carefully sought and eagerly en-
ployed by all other great indus
trial aggregations, and while we
have frequently heard of such
commissions being over reaching
and over jealous in the service
of their masters, we cannot re-
call a single instance of betrayal
of trust upon their part.
We hear of great banking cor
porations; mining combinations;
great oil, leather. iron, steel, in
surance, coal, railroad, steamer,
lumber, stock growing, planting
and other combines, companies
and trusts, ana yet not one of
them can be found that does not
include in its management and
controlling councils. distinguish
ed lawyers and financiers, and
it is impossible to achieve any
permanent success without the
employment of the skilled, learn
ed, efficient and experienced
agencies that are aiding in fur
thering the purposes of other or
CARNATIONS and studying their
interests regardless of the inter
ests Of outsiders. Aberdeen Elk

In Search of Happiness.

Many restless hearts nave
found surcease to sorrow in the
little town of Reno, New. 1t is
the home of the restless who seek
final release from matrimonial
bonds which have become bur-
densome. It is the Mecca for
those who are in search of hap
piness.
One of the recent recruits to
the colony of the unhappy is
Virginia Harmed Sothern, the
actress, who seeks release from
the tie which binds her to the
favorite Shakespearean actor, E.
II. Southern.
In a recent interview she voic-
ed the following sentiment:
I'VE must do the things that
bring US most happiness, for in
proportion as we are happy will
be our usefulness to others and
to ourselves"
There is a world of philosophy
in this. Whether the dissolution
of the tie which binds her will
bring ultimate happiness, only
time can say, but there is a SER
mon in the sentence,
On every side and in every
cline we see this ideal of happi-
ness held up as a justifable
cause of any human action. Any
thing that does not contribute to
happiness must be considered
elf-evident error.
In the desert the man dying
with thirst sees with fascinated
eyes the mirage. His parched
throat aches and his swollen
tongue protrudes. The sight
holds him in thrall and he makes
one more vigorous effort to
reach the pictured waterfall or
lake. only to find it is one of ma
lures decisions. Men and wo-
men readily find excuse to vio-
late the most sacred vows and
obligations in the statement that
they are in search Of happiness.
The same philosophy as that ex-
pressed by Miss Harmed actuates
them.
Be sure that there is no man
who steals, no woman who SINS,
no girl who falls, we lacks justi-
fcation, if the simple desire to
do what one thinks will bring
happiness is to be regarded as
the moral test.
Like the mirage, it is only a
delusion, for these violations do
not bring happiness. In all hon
esty. Miss Harmed may believe
what she says. She may not
realize now, but she will, that it
is a poor way to search for hap
piness. 1t is a philosophical ex-
cuse which is we'll calculated to
explain the commission of any
offense, 1t sounds we'll, but it is
shallow after all, because it is
not justifiable in the long run.-

They Resemble Haystaeks and Are

Gan alligators' nest is an interesting
thing" said Alligator Joe. "Wild ALI
gators build their nests on the bank of
a river or in marshy places. They are
made of mud, saw grass and leaves
and mold They are sort of natural
incubators, for the eggs, which are
laid from thirty-five to eighty in a
nest at one time, are Matched out by
the steam which comes up through the
mud as much as by the sun. Around
the nest a pile of grass is laid, some
times as high as six feet, and from a
distance resembles a stack of hay
The mother gator has her den near

only way to get her out of a den like
that is to take a long steel rod and
thrust it down the tunnel, which is al
ways slanting. When the gator feels
the prodding she will come out to see
what the trouble is.

and six days to hatch. When the little
ones come out the mother calls them
together by noise which is something
between eluck and grunt, and they
all scramble down from the nest to her
den. If it is on the edge of n river
the den is filled with minnows. As the
mother enters the den she swishes her
tail around with terrific force, killing
the smallest fish, and when they float
the little alligators nab them up.
"A mother alligator will sometimes
have four or five dens, and she takes
her brood from one to another, repeat
ing the swishing process in each one
until the young ones have had full

Wont Stick
County School Teachers don't
Remain Long Enough.

What happens to the
teachers in the public schools
of Kentucky, is question that
is being much talked of in
the Office of the Superintend-
ent of Public instruction at
Frankfort being called forth
by the revising of the mail
ing lists of the department.
1t is stated that less than 30
per cent of the teachers in
the schools of this State re-
main two successive years
in the same school and probab-
~ less than 80 per cent teach
for two successive years. In
revising the mailing list it is
found that more than two
thirds of the names on the
list are new ones. Poor pay
causes hundreds of them to
seek other vocations. There
are about 10000 teachers in
the State, of this number
only about $500 teach two
years in succession in the
same school.
1t is also shown that the
larger number Of changes are
in the country schools. The
few teachers who stick to
their jobs are in the city
schools, where usually the
same teachers remain for
year after year, with a few
changes. On the list will be
found many city teachers
who have been IN the same
school for many years, but
in the country districts only
a few veterans will be found.
Usually nearly all of the
teachers of any school are
changed every year.
One reason for this is mat
