the question.

Weary and spiritless they went

later they steamed out into the
stream and threaded their way
down the bay. Miss Thorne
stood at the rail gazing back upon
the city they were leaving. Mr..
Grimm stood beside her; the
prince, still sullen, still scowling,
sat dozen feet away.
This Is a wonderful thing you
have done. Mr.. Grimm" said Miss
Thorne at last.
Thank you," he said simply.
l"It was a destructive thing that
you intended to do. Did you ever
see a more marvellous thing than
THAT" and he indicated the sky
line of New York. Its the most
marvellous bit of mechanism in the
world; the dynamo of the western
hemisphere. You would have de-
stroyed It, because in the world

She raised her eyebrows, but
was silent.

moment, II could never associate
a woman with destructiveness,
with wars and with violence"
THAT Is an unjust way of say

musingly: isn't it odd that you

mics of the whole great earth In

makes me feel that you alone

Heyburn's TOrrential Eloquence.

It is fortunate for American
solidarity that the common-sense
of the people presents a barrier
to what might otherwise be the
disastrous effects of the rantings
of sectional demagogues. A few
of these firebrands still exist, but
as the incident in the United
States Senate on Monday plainly
showed, they are endured rather
than encouraged. 1t is possible
that the Government should not
lend it's property Tor other than
public official use, and if that
rule should be enforced there
could be no possible objection to
action refusing to permit the use
of government tents to the Con-
federate Veterans at their ap-
preaching encapment at Mobile.
But Heyburn's objection was
not based on that ground. He
seemed to feel that the lending
of these tents to the aged men
who were once Confederate sol
diers, was an offense akin to
placing the bust of Lee in Statu-
ary Hall-a crime against the
government and sowing of the
seeds of treason in the hearts of
the people. Indeed the Idaho
Senator made a most impassion-
ed appeal to the Senate to pre-
vent the perpetration Of these
two monstrous crimes and when
he finished his harangue the vote
was had, with the astonishing
result that Heyburn's only con-
vert was himself, even his col
league, Mr.. Borah, responding to
his argument by calmly voting
against his contentious.
Evidently the estimate placed
by the Idaho Senator upon the
capacity of the American Senate
to appreciate OratOry must be
very small after this experience.
There have been occasion when
the influence of persuasive Orato-
ry has been overmasterlng.
Great audiences have been sWa-
yed by it as though under some
strange magic influence. and
powerful orators have directed
public sentiment with the ease
and completeness of a master
spirit.
But these men were not Hey
burns; they were great men, and
usually their themes have been
greater than the men who dis
cussed them. Even Mr.. Hey
burn ought to be convinced now
that the American people have
no time to devote to sectionafism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson devOtes
one of his admirable essays to per
suading us that there is compen-
satiOn in every i'll to which hu-
manity is heir, if only we will go
far enough to find it. The most
casual philosopher, however, here
in the south, can readily discern
the compensation that is coming
to the people of this section out of
the prevailing high prices for
farm products of every kind. The
farmer will be persuaded to adopt
the policy of raising all of his food
supplies at home, thus retaining,
for the upbuilding of his own sec
tiOn the proceeds of his cotton
crop instead of sending it to the
west for grain and provisions, as
has been his custom in the past.
Noting an instance of develop
ment in this direction the Hat
tiesburg News says:
''The quickest way to attract a
man is to adduce topics that will
touch his pocketbook. This is a
hog problem, from the view point
of both the man and the hog.
Man, we are told, is but an age
removed from an animal, and for
this ws have much to be thankful.
for it will be less difficult to es-
tablish closer relations with his
hogseip. The natchez community
must acquaint itself with the por-
ker, and the sooner on the speak
ing terms the better for the dis
trict. The hog has at his COM
mand a wealth that for ages has
been wasted. For years the at
tentiOn Of the Natchez district has
been directed toward other sour
ces of revenue. But the hog is
now coming into his own, and
bringing with him the wealth of
the farm land.

Intensive Farming.

Any two pillow farmer can make
corn enough to do him. on any
five acres of land, with half the
labor he usually gives to that
crop. This was amply demon
strated by thousands of Mississip-
pi boys last season. Almost any
farmer, in any season, can find op-
portunity to give five acres in
corn all the attention it needs.
What is demanded is intensive
farming; the getting out of every
acre cultivated it's full power OF
production, and giving to every
tributary acre the congenial food
it requires to enable it to carry
it's burdens and do it's full seasons
work. Intesify, fructify and

balks at rain and drouth, depend
ing on providence for a harvest,

A Good Recommendation.

Governor Noel has sent another
legislative message in which the
whole state is interested; among
the subjects recommended is the
extension of the period of exe-np-
tiOn from taxation of manufact-

is highly meritorious and of the
utmost Importance to the indus
trial development of the state.
The senatorial muddle will, un-
fortunately, take up SO much of
the legislators time that general

Referring to the Senatorial con-
test, the Vicksburg Herald writes
as follows:
GA single failure to change
votes has fully proved the folly of
the tactics of Gov. Vardaman'
friends Their loyalty or infat-
uation and intolerance may not
have lost him support. But effect
could not more clearly be traced
to cause, than that in the harden
ed opposition to the election of
the ex-G x-Gorvernor, much is due to
attempts at driving friends of 9th
er candidates. by threats, slurs
and abuse. That this effect would
follow was plain to any one not SO
self opinionated as tosbe blind to
the truth of human nature. The
average member of the legislature,
while ready in the exercise or. his
right of choice to yield to reason,
may always be counted on to- re-
sent bigotted bulldozing- Xarda--
mans popularity and his record
as good Governor, may win him
the victory in spite of such sup
port. But if he fails he can, in
summing up the causes of his de-
feat, add to the opposition to his
vain and evil race agitation hob
by, the reactionary influence of
some of his Obsessed friends"

Gulfport Senatorship.

Representative O'Byrne, who
spent Sunday at Beauvoir and
Gulfport, returned to Jackson
Sunday night, delighted with his
trip. He thinks Gulfport has q
bright future, and was more than
ever convinced of this after chat
with the captain of German
steamer in the harbOr.
The German thinks GulfpOrt
should be one of the south's chief
harbors, and Mr. O'Byrne detail
ed the interview as follows:
"Mississippi wants big man at
Washingtion," said the German,
zone who can make this man you
call Uncle Sam give you two Oh
three million dollars for this har-
Dor. 1t must be deepened, as my
boat is resting on the bottom to-
day, and it costs money to get it
off. See that pier on this side
and the hay growing on the 9th
er? Well, they expect us to come
along side the pier and take on
hay, but there isn't enough wa
teri
The German thought it would
make a fine harbor, but he tried
to impress upon Mr.. O'Byrne the
fact that a big man was needed at
Washington to get plenty of mon
ey for improving the harbor. He
regarded it as a marvil, so far as
it goes, but pointed to the ships
of the various nations at anchor
in the basin and told of the trou.
BILE to get in and load.
Mr.. O'Byrne was much impress
ed with the Importance of i'm
proving the harbor. He thinks it
should be made the gateway fo1
all Mississippi's products, and be
lieves there is a good chance OF
getting an appropriation, if the
next United States senator will
cooperate with Congressman
Bowers in the work. He said that
to improve the harbOr of Gulfport
meant more to Mississippi than
any other one thing, in his opin-
ion, and, like the German, said a
big man was need at Washington

The marriage of Mrs. Rogers
to young Stockley recently caus-
ed much comment here. She
went to Macon, Mississippi on
business connected with her first
husbands estate. At the re-
quest of Theodore B. Rogers,
Jr., her son, Stockley followed
to act as attorney. He was a
chum of the son and went to
meet the widow at the sons ur-
gent request. While in Macon

"W. c. Cain, a Franklin county
farmer, and if you don't believe
facts are protrayed, write him a
letter, a few days ago killed hog
weighing $50 pounds. He got 100
pounds of lard which, at the pres
ent price netted him $500. The
200 pounds of sausage netted him
$25, and the meat, at the price of
dry salt meat, netted him $36,
making a total of $74.20 from one
hog He raised this hog and sew
eral others, a total of two thous
and pounds, at a total expendi-
ture of eight dollars. The hogs
fed on three acres of peanuts and
peas, received but little attention
of the farmer, and gave him q
neat balance for the time and ex-
pense.
"Mr. Cain says this is just like
finding money, and the wise far
mer will admit the truth of the
assertion. Mr.. Cain will devote
much more time to stock raising
next year, as will several other
farmers in his community, and
the Natchez Packing Company
will be given the first opportunity
to buy"
Hogs at $74.2O are a profitable
crop to raise, more profitable even
than cotton at 25 cents a pound,
and every farmer in Mississippi
can raise them, if he wants to bad
enough. But suppose we raise
hogs worth half that, is it not bet
ter than sending all of our cotton
money out of the country for
bread and meat upon which to
produce another crop to 60 the
same way, an endless chain of
poverty for the richest agricultur
al region on earth?-Meridian
