''Do you know there's lot O. people
Settin' round in every town,
Growlin' like broody chicken,
Knockin' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind O. cattle,
Cause they amt no use on earth;
You just be booster rooster,
Grow and boost for all you're worth.
eff this county needs boostin' boost 'er,
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other feller's willin',
Sail right in, this country's free;
No ones got mortgage on it,
It's just yours, as much as his,
If the city's shy on boosters,
GU get in the boostin biz.
IF things don, just seem to suit you
And the word seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with the boostin'
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things should stop a-goin'
We'd be in sorry plight,
You just keep that horn ablowin'
Boost her with all your might.

For to make some project go.

When Thomas Jefferson was
formulating his peculiar political
ideas, he declared that good
health is the basis or prosperity,
and he adopted the following
rules:
''Do not sit up late at night;
study and work in daytime. Rise
early and go to bed early. Avoid
novel reading and cultivate the
compauiOnship o. good books.
Never tell a lie Or stoop to a mean
act. Be kind to every living
creature. Speak no evil of any
one. Be good, adore God, be 10y
al to friends and love your coun-
try better than yourself. Take
hold of things by the smooth han
die; avoid disputes, do not turn
pleasant conversations into heated
arguments? Too much speaking
is not best. Never put off till to-
morrow what you can do today.
Never spend your money before
you have it. Never buy what you
do not need because it is cheap.
Pride costs more than hunger,
thirst and cold. We never repent
of having eaten too little. Never
borrow trouble. "-Peoria Star.

Percy After Wickersham.

The first speech of Senator Pr
cy of Mississippi made had the ef-
feet to set the attorney general
explaining why he instituted that
investigation of the alleged bull
movement. Senator Percy
thought it somewhat singular
that cotton should be selected for
that kind Of an onslaught by the
government, and the attorney
general hastened to show him.
The citation was exceedingly Ia
bored, and, if it satisfied anybody
but the attorney general himself,
the fact has not been made appar-
ent. Senator Percy is we'll equip
ped for handling a matter of this
kind, for he was reared in q cot
ton country and, aside from being
lawyer, is an extensive cotton
grower himself. FIT. Smith Times

Tax on Cocoa-COla.

Replying to all inquiry from
State Auditor E. j. Smith, At
tordey General Hudson advises
that all dealers in COCO cola must
pay privilege license of $25 per
year to sell that beverage, and
that the fact of a license to sell
soda pop and other soft drinks, or
run a soda water stand, does not
entitle them to sell COCO cola.
This tax will cause a great many
dealers to quit handling the bot
tied "dope," as their profits in Il
year will not reach that sum. The
auditor had been beseiged with
letters of inquiry on this subject
from all over the State.
There is no doubt that the leg
islative intent was to curtail the
bringing of COCO cola. Efforts
were made to pass law prohibit
ing its sale in the state, or to tax
it out of existence, on the. ground
that it contained cocaine or other
elements injurious to health, but
failed.-Clarion Ledger.

A Pretty Compliment.

Mr.. J. G. Cavett has been the
superintendent of the First Meth
odist Sunday School of the city
of jackson for several years, and
it would seem that the attendants
OH that school appreciate his ser
vices as such, Judging by their ac-
tion on Sunday last.
During lull in the proceedings
Mr.. w. III. Watkins took the floor
away from the superintendent,
without leave or by his permis-
sion, and in q brief but very time
ly and appropriate little speech,
told of the desire of the school
that Mr.. Cavett be made one of
the delegates to the World Wide
Sunday School Convention that
assemblies in the city of Washing
ton this week, and presented him
with check that is sufficient to
carry him all the way and back
again to his friends.
Mr.. Cavett was deeply affected,
and could hardly find words to
express his feelings, but he stun
bled at it, and will go to Wash
ington with the balance, no
doubt.
This action on the part of the
First Methodist Sunday School
was timely, and appropriate. The
superintendent of the school has
been working in season and out
for the good of the hundreds of
those who attend. and it is meet
and proper that he should have a
little something in the way of
recreation as well as cmpensatior,
though he should never ask for
either. = Clarion Ledger.

Cotton Acreage Reduction Small.

Jackson, Miss, May 18. .-Ac
cOrding to President G.. III. High
tower, of the Mississippi division
Of the Farmers Union, the cotton
acreage reduction in this state, as
compared with last year, will not
exceed 2 per cent.
This is the smallest estimate
that has yet been made by a crop
expert. President HIghtower ba-
ses his figures on information re.
ceived at Farmers Union head
quarters in this city, and person
al observations during his travels
over the state.
cit should be borne in mind
that we had a very heavy acreage
reduction last year, and, natural
ly, should not expect very heavy
decrease this year." says Presi-
dent Hightower.
tlonS of the state are gloom, but
not so bad as they have been re
ported in many instances. l be-
lieve we are going to have general
rains over the state within the
next few days, which will bring
about a vast Improvement.
cit will take a series of heavy
rains, however, to bring out the
cotton planted shallow, or in
clOdy ground. Practically all re-
planting work has been finished,
but the cold nights and lack of
moisture have retared germina-
tiOn.
"The cotton crop, generally
speaking, is about three weeks
late. With ordinarily favorable
weather condition during the sum-
mer, it is not too late to make
fair-sized crop. The lateness of
the season is the principal draw
back. Cotton chopping ought to
be i'll progress right now through
out the state, but will venture
the statement that not one per
cent of the crop has been CHOPPED
out"
President Hightower's views
are sustained by advices that have
been received from several of the
principal cotton market centers
within the past forty eight hours.
Heavy rains fell at a number of
points last night, breaking the
drouth that has prevailed for a pc
riOd of nearly three weeks and it
is feared that the breaking of the
drOuth, however, may be followed
by excessive rains, as Mississippi's
record for the first tour
months of the current year shows
4 deficit of ten inches, a compared !
with the 3S-year average.

Friday morning the gradual
ing exercises were held at the
school building. There was only
one graduate, Spivey Douglass,
he being the only member of the
eleventh grade.
The Avery medal, which is
given to the pupil receiving the
highest marks in scholarship,
department and attendance was
won by Charles M. Murphey,
son of DR.. and Mrs. E. NJ. Muir
phey, who had an average of
99.417. He has a record for at
tendance which, we dare say,
cannot be equalled by a scholar
in the entire state-he has miss
ed but one day in eight years
(due to a death in the famiIy)
and not a single day this year.
To this fact only did he win
over his uncle. Artie Murphey,
whose record was only a fraction
less, due to the fact that he was
sick two days Of the session and |
unable to attend school. Those
making the highest averages are
as follows:
Charley Murphey 80. .447
Artie Murphey. ........ %. 259
Those making the highest av-
erages above 95 were:
Richard Southall,
Henry Hunter,
Everett Hunter,
Annie Bell Thomas,
Mary Kate Hunter.
1t will be noticed as something
very unusual that it was the
boys that made the highest aver
ages.
An interesting feature of the
program was the delivery of GER
tifcates to members of the first
grade, taught by Miss Hooper.
Those who received them were:

Supt. ]. E. FAINT Resigns.

superintendent j. G. FAINT O
the Meridian City Schools has re
signed the position he has helG
for fourteen years. In regard tt
the resignation the Meridian Dis.
patch says:
mo city superintendent in the
state has been more faithful OF
more diligent in the discharge OF
all duties and in building up the
city schools than Supt. FAINT. He
is beloved alike by the patrons
and pupils and there will be sad
ness in the hearts of many people
this morning when it is learned
that he is going to give up his
work here. He has built the
Meridian schools up to a high
state of perfection, second to none
in the state.
It is understood that Supt.
FAINT will not accept the superin-
tendency of any other school in
the state, for he would prefer to
remain with Meridian, if this was
the case, but he will not leave
the state and will be connected
with the school work in MISSISSIPPI
pi. Beyond this, no further par
ticulars would be given out last
night.
He has been with the Meridian
schools for fourteen years and no
man was ever more successful or
more greatly beloved than he.
Wherefore he goes, the whole Of
Meridian will wish him well.
The matter of his successor has
not yet been discussed.
In mentioning Prof. Fant's resigna-
tion, the Jackson Clarion-Ledger says
in part:
Superintendent Powers declares that
Prof. Fant is one of the ablest educa-
tors ir the State, and was of the opin-
ion that Meridian has suffered a seri-
Gus loss in his resination as the head of
the public schools of that city, where he
has labored long and faithfully.
The Jackson friends of Prof FAINT
suspect that he has been invited to the
State University, and if that be true,
congratulate him on his promotion, ap-
preciating the fact that it is deserved,
if true.

sociation has In mind the establish
ment OF cooperative packing house.
This is practical way OF bringing the
beef trust to terms and will be a
thousand times more effective than all
the meat boycotts ever devised.
In many more ways cooperation is
helping the farmer TO market his prod
ucts. Cooperation has never failed
except when It has tried to limit pro-
duction and force up prices arttficially,
as has been the case at times in the
tobacco and cotton districts of the
south. But this is not true co-opera-
ton. 1t is monopoly. and it is better
that it should fail. True cooperation
seeks rather to increase production
than to limit It, 1t makes its profits
by cutting down the expense OF mar
keting rather than by raising prices
above their normal level. Natural
conditions OF supply and demand, IL
not interfered with by trusts and CON-
binations, can be depended upon to
regulate prices SO that they will be
fair to both producer and consumer.
Cooperation Is also solving the mon
ey problem for farmers. Pennsylvania
has a number of successful cooperative
banks. In the middle west many such
institutions are doing a successful bust
ness. These banks are safe, for they
are usually backed by all the assets Of
the farmer stockholders. They are run
on business principles.
One other great problem confronts
the farmers In this country which CO.
operation has solved in Germany. That
is the problem of landownership. A
permanent, prosperous agriculture is
possible only where the majority OF
the farmers own the land they cult
vate. The proportion of tenant farm
ers in the United States is steadily in
creasing. From 25 per cent in 1880 it
increased to SO per cent in 1900. The
1910 census will show in all probable
ity that nearly half the farms in the

A story is told of Lord Melbourne in
his character of premier asking the
young Queen Victoria whether there
was any individual for whom she felt
such a preference that she would wish
TO have him associated with her in the
cares of sovereignty" The queen, a
little astonished asked whether the
question was put by Lord Melbourne
in his character of minister of the
crown, and he replied that under no
other circumstances would he have
presumed TO address such n question to
her majesty. Then" said the queen,
