Good Fall Business.

The merchants of Pocahontas
are generally anticipating a good
fall business and there is every in
dication to bear out their anticipa-
tions. The past summer has been
an unusually dull one. Just now
business in all lines of endeavor is
opening up. Since the farmers
laid by their crops they have been
hauling timber and railroad ties to
town and selling for good cash
price.
Cotton is opening and soon the
streets will be lined with the heecy
staple and the fall business prom
Uses to open up with unusual acti-
witty.
The merchants of Pocahontas
nave bought heavily In ANTICIPATION
of lively business and with good
crops in sllnost every section of the
county the farmers will share l:ber-
ally In the business prosperity of
the fall season. If we have a late
frost the cotton will turn out well.
The backward spring made the
the crop slew to mature and an
early frost will cut the crop short,
bit if the bolls mature and open
fully the crop will be an average
one and there is every evidence of
good prices. The market tendency
is alright and it seems that prices
will be as good it not better than
/ they were last year.

Attend the Fairs

Now is the time to begin plan
ming to attend the fairs this fall. A
trip to the State Fair, or to some
other large fair nearer home, is us
ually we'll worth the expense of
time and money. If the farmer
goes for education or to learn he
will never fail to feel repaid, but
if he goes merely for entertain
ment or amusement the time and
money will be largely wasted.
Better amusement can be found
nearer home at less expense. But
the fair properly studied should be
a source of instruction. Too fire.
quently the managers of our south
ern fairs lose sight of the educa-
tional features and 90 to extremes
in supplying, in many cases, none
too clean amusements. More of an
educational feature should be made
of the Judging of agricultural exhi-
bits and the live stock. A good
Judge may make his work highly
instructive by stating his reasons
for his awards. By all means ar
range to go to some good fair this
fall and use it as a means of obtain
ing more information. -Starkville

Gazette.

Nothing to 1t

A report has been circulated
abroad to the effect that the late
election held in this county would
be contested for the purpose of
throwing out certain townships in
which Irregularities in the manner
of holding said election were charg-
ed, and thereby unseat the two re-
publicans who were elected to the
Office of county judge and tax assess
or respectively. We wish to say
there is nothing to the report and
the election will not be contested.
So far as we have been able to learn
there is no very great dissatisfaction
at the result of the election, the
democrats being free to admit that
they were beaten fairly.

Champ Clark Sees Victory

U"iS "NiiN SAOSPV UO'Vh anu V"ASS,
and while there is many a slip be-
twixt the cup and the lip, the signs
of the times indicate democratic
house. The republicans have had
such an amazing run of luck that
some folks have settled conviction
that they are .nvincible-a conclu-
sion which, in the light OF history
Is preposterous.
The American people love public
men who "keep the faith" who say
what they mean and mean what
they say. A failure on the part of
the standpat leaders to keep the
faith is precisely what the row is
about. They promised to revise
the Dingley tariff down. That was
when they wanted to get in. Being
in they proceeded to revise 1t up
with the result that millions of
honest republicans are in open re.
volt against the machine, and pro-
pose to punish the leaders, whe de-
ceived and betrayed them.
Take two bits of evidence on this
head, which are merely samples
of oil U m e h at could
be produced. In my last debate
with Mr.. Chairman Payne on the
tariff, last May, he insisted vehem-
emily but enormously that his bill
Is a revision down, and that there
fore he and his coadjutors had
except the faith" As a keeper OF
the faith Brother Payne is not in
st. Paul's class. But query-if the
st n d p TT RS did not promise
to revise the tariff down, why does
Mr.. Chairman Payne keep on de
claring that they have revised il
down, and that therefore they de-
serve well Of. the country? The
Economist jumped on him for say
ing that, and asserted that he makes
a mistake as does the president il
trying to defend the bill by claim
ing that it is revision downward
The cultivate consumer" knows
that he was promised lowering Of
the tariff, and knows that he didn'
get it. Consequently, he is in bac
humor. Last year the New England
"scholar in politics" Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, in fine scorn of boil
the facts andkthe people, declared
the ''ultimate consumer" to be 9
myth. Nevertheless, six months
later, the "ultimate consumer" in
the Old Bay State pulled the Repub'
lican majority from sixty thousand
down to five thousand. Less than
twelve months later the Cultivate
consumer" in Massachusetts con
gressional district converted Re-
publican majority of fourteen
thousand into Democratic ma
jority of six thousand, and sent
Eugene N. Foss triumphantly to
congress, thereby making him a
vice presidential possibility Since
these events, mirabile dictu-I put
in this Latin because | am writing
about the "scholar in polite" y
Senator Lodge has fallen into such
fear of the ultimate consumer" that
he has appealed to Colonel Roosevelt
to take the stump for him. | sub
nit that there is somewhat of poet
| ic justice in that situation. Champ

This was the beginning. By the
end of the third day 'Lucindas war
for peace had reused the, fighting
spirit of every person in the house
save one and several neighbors. Up
stairs in the front room the gentle
hearted old mother had taken to her
bed, worried to the breaking point
by strained relations in the household.
Now that evening had come Miss
Lucinda stood at the foot Of her moth
ers bed, sense of injustice clouding
her face.
NO you shall not be turned oUt of
your room while you're SICK" she was
saving. you needn't suggest going
into my bed tomorrow so that the
men can work in here Everything
else is done, of course, but they caE
lust take their pals and ladders
away and come back when you are
yourself again"
But want my room done!" pro
tested her mother.
Mother. lie down Don't excite
yourself Can't you see that you're

until Lucinda had turned away that a
grim smile fickered across the old

Stocks, Bonds, Cereals
FOREIGN EXCHANGE DECLINE IN WHEAT
Looked To Yesterday in Seeking
Explanation for Present Stagna-
tion of Stock Market.

New York, May 1S.-In seeking an
explanation for the present stagnant
condition of the stock market, todays
attention turned to the foreign ex-
change situation. The difficulty in
obtaining authentic Information on
the ubjcct from the bankers concern
cd adds to the doubts entertained. 1t
is said conditions in the foreign eX-
change markets are much confused,
and the difficulty Is thus increased
of reading the supposed effects CT
sales abroad of bonds.
The strength in foreign exchange
is indicated by the course Of the for
eign markets and the sales here OF
stocks fof foreign account. Thoubes
incident to the putting afloat OF
fraudulent cotton bill Of lading also
constitute an element in the scarcity
of commercial bills of exchange. The
hardening coure of the private dis
count rate in London today dissipated
and expectation that the bank rate
would come down tomorrow. The CON
tinuance of gold Withdrawals for sun
dry destinations from the Bank of
England makes it likely that pro
lection will be sought by making the
present bank rate effective in the
open market.

Let me put Justice Clark's com

five out Of nine silkgowned gentle
men, appointed to Office long before
the issue was raised, declare the law
unconstitutional The voice of the
people Is not then the voice OF God,

Supreme court justices
| have said that no other nation
subjects the acts Of Its legislature to
such a scrutiny by court holding

Few people know that nothing but
the ingrained conservatism of Ameri-

from so remodeling the Supreme court
as to make 1t legalize his legislation
Nothing In the Constitution limits II
to nine members. Only acts Of con,
gress. which can be repealed OF
amended, fix it at that number. but II
might as readily consist of II or q

point and the senate confirm them
Perhaps In time the obstruction of the

much as Gladstone threatened to cor
rect the inertia Of the house OF lord
