Corn Expert Secured.


The A. and NJ. College Normal began
its second week at Starlville with an
enrolment of 235 earnest, hard-work-
ing and studious teachers. 1t is re-
marked by all observers that never be-
fore has there been such an apparent
disposition on the part of the attend
ants upon a normal to get all the good
there is in it. On account of the big
increase in the state of boys corn
clubs and the scarcity of competent
corn judgs, Prof. p P. Garner, in
charge of the boys demonstration
work in Mississippi, has secured the
services Of Mr.. Hudson, corn expert
from North Carolina, to give a two
weeks course at this normal of corn

Mississipplans Protest.

Mississippians Protest.
The Mississippi delegation called
upon the postoffice department to pro-
test against the action of the depart
Tnent in not installing rural routes in
this state. Senators Money and rercy,
and Congressman Bowers, Collier, Dick
son, Spight, Sisson, Byrd and Gambler,
being the entire Mississippi delegation
except Congressman Humphreys, wnv
is absent by reason of sickness,
called at the office of Mr.. Degraw,
fourth assistant postmaster-general In
order to ascertain II any definite in
formation could be given by the de-
partment as to when there would be
a resumption in the installation of free
rura deliveries in Mississippi. 1t
seems that there has been suspen-
sion over the country generally Of the
work OF the department In putting in
rural routes, even when such routes
have been inspected and approved by
the department, and Mississippi, to-
gether with the other Southern states
and some of the Western States have
suffered severely.

Retail Grocers Are Guessing.
Members of the Mississippi Retail
Grocers Association are wondering to
what extent, If any, they are going to
be involved In the proceedings insti.
tutd by the federal government against
the Southern Wholesale Grocers' AS.

antitrust laws. In this city there are
two-score or more grocers having mem

Association. which is in turn affiliated
with the Mississippi association. Thus
far none of the grocers have been for

Interest In Horse Racing.

uh = SSSAhS
After all. the horse is not being
forced to the wall by the auto and the
aeroplane as a racing wonder. New
honors have been won this eason in
races and in contests against time by
the American light harness horse.
Uhlan, particularly, displayed ambition
and stamina which promise a brilliant
future. Harness racing is now the
thing in turf sports and draws i'm
mense crowds. even when betting is
prohibited.
More than 10000 people cheered
Uhlan when the mark recognized as
the worlds championship for harness
horses without wind shield was scored
at Cleveland. This attendance is not
unusual for meetings where great
horses are on the track. 1t is a good
sign that breeders and owners are in
clined to favor kinds Of which
will bring out the better horse rather
than the kind most popular with spec
tators. This is a gain for true sports
manship.

National Forests as Fairgrounds.
The sportsman finds his paradise in
the national forests. In many of them
big game abounds. The rangers and
the guards. besides the service they
perform against the spread of fire,
often point out the best site for the
camper and the easiest route. With
the finest mountain scenery and much
of the best fishing and big game hunt
ing in the United States. the national
forests. made more and more access
sible each year through protection and
development by the government. are
fast becoming great national play
grounds for the people.
The use of the forests for recreation
is as yet in its beginning. but is grow
ing steadily and rapidly. in some of
the forests at the rate Of 100 per cent
per annum. The day seems not far
distant when a million persons will
visit them annually. According to the
record of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. the total last year
was. in close figures, 4O6.7775.

The News From Nicaragua.

Every day brings exciting news from
Nicaragua. In fact. there have been
few days since the time of William
Walker. til;5uster. nearly sixty years
ago. when Nicaragua could not supply
excitement to glut the appetite Of the
reading world. Somebody has said
that only the unusual is news. and If
that be true the reports from Mica
ragua are not news, since battles and
revolutions down there are such regu-
lar occurrences as to be commonplace.
But the apparent fall of President
MadriZ and the accession of President
Estrada are of sufficient interest to be
noted in passing.
Estrada has been doing some fight
ing that looked like the real thing. For
is by no means a joke. Men are
slaughtered by hundreds in every such
outbreak. General ]. c. Jamison Of
Guthrie, Okla. one of the few sur
vivors Of those who followed the for
tunes of Walker. has recently pub
lished a history of the great flibuster's
fights. and the book reeks with blood
shed. Men slain in heaps, though
that was before the days Of the ma
chine gun.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that the
reverses of Madriz will make for peace
in Central America. The Nicaragua
situation is a constant botheration. and
it is high time that the people of that
land settle down to pursue the arts Of
peace.

A newspaper is a great national
book. 1t penetrates into the heart
of nearly every family and silently
does it's work. 1t can drop the
same idea into the minds Of thou
sands of people at the same time.
There are many people who read
nothing else, almost no one reads
that does not read the newspapers
and hence as an advertising med

best; and every business man who

stantly before him; take advantage
of it on every hand, don't let an
opportunity pass to make your
name and business. also, f~avorably

The Valley city papers have
raised their subscription prices to
50 a year for their weeklies and Sc
for dailies. In some cities the
doctors have raised their day calls
from $1.5O to 50 and night calls
from 50 to 50. 1t is a known fact
that a paper is worth two dollars
for a whole year now if the doctors
would charge the same price, there
would not be as many pains-es-

Fighting Forest Fires.

Battles just as perilous to life as
those fought with bullets have been
waged recently in the forests of the
great northwest, and the men engaged
in this warfare are as brave as any sol.
dier who ever marched up to the can
mons mouth. The aist of those who
have persisted in the unequal contest
is appalling. Joaquin Miller wrote a
line of verse which aptly describes the
forest fire. though tout on the roaring
red firing line'' was not. SO intended.
Roaring red" indeed is the firing line
On which many brave lei have lost
their lives this summer. Only one who
has witnessed the spectacle Of a wall
Of fame advancing at double quick
through a dry woodland can have an
adequate idea Of the horror Of the
thing.
The government takes every precau-
tion;to prevent the outbreak of fires. in
the. forest reserves. but In a season
that is unusually dry it seems inevi-
table that some destructive fires will
occur. The police force of the reserves
the forest rangers-is altogether too
small. The rangers are few and far
between. Each man must cover an
enormous territory. and it is impos-
sible to exercise su efficient vigilance to
prevent these terrible CONGREGATIONS.
The loss Of life and Of public and pri-
vate property is SO great this year that
in all probability the government will
put extra rangers on duty hereafter.
