cannot afford to cultivate them in

plication Of plant food, thus getting
two stalks of corn where one grew;
reducing the cost of his products so
as to leave a profit and at the same
time the hardships and long hours on
the farm decreased by labor saving de-
vices and husbandry made attractive,
and the occupation one to be sought
after by coming young men.
For it is off of the farm we eat,
from the farm we wear; without the
Harm we die.
The question of high cost of living
can be traced back to the farm; not
that the farmer. gets any more for his
productions because every article he
uses advances in proportion, but the
trouble is there is not enough pro-
duced, and there are too many to con
sumo compared to the ones that are
producing.
We have been educating our chill
dren to live off of the products of
others and encouraging immigration to
this country and our large cities are
filled with thousands Of non-productive
humanity, and like the mighty collec-
tion of small streams and rivulets,
this great cole ction overfows the.
amount that is produced, and instead
of improving the matters by investiga-
ton into the cost of living, spending
hundreds of dollars IN trying to find
out where the trouble lies, use this
| money in aiding and encouraging the.
cultivation of our thousands of acres
| of land.
Instead Of this. we have to prac-
tice economy TO the point of hardly an
existence, until the agricultural in

hard times" and then good times,
as we call them, but all depends on
the harvest, and no legislation, inves-
tigation or maneuvering can control
the laws of supply and demand; they
must work in harmony or the econo-
mic machinery of a family, city or ma
ton will be disorganized.
Now let us put in a few dollars for
good school on the agricultural, in
dustrial, self-sustaining plan for our
boys and girls.
This is a good opportunity for some

Pensacola, bit easy going and a bit

and other energetic demonstrations, is
meeting the situation beautifully with
weather eye out for the celestial
tramp at almost any fine morning now

four.
Halley's comet has been Elusive

Self-respecting and confiding per-
sons who have somehow missed it by
the space of a minute or two can
easily attest to the fact.
1t has in fact such we'll developed

under haze or a cloud or anything

The Hello Centraf' of the place did
the awakening act through particularly
persistent telephone calls, and finally
at least half of the enthusiastic ones
had gathered on the second balcony,
only to see the comet blink solemnly
and disappear behind a bank OF
clouds

There is only one way, after all, to

full humOr oI Cne situation.
 "When is my funeral?' he asked, with smile. q don't want to miss that"
 His composure somewhat recovered; 1; but, still chuckling and occasionally go- ing off into another spasm of laughter, the judge proceeded to explain the manner in which he had gained the interesting information.
 "The afternoon steamer does not stop, sir, and I am obliged to row out in boat to get my letters. The news was shouted to us from the deck as she moved away. All I could catch was the words, Colonel Moreau dead, and I think they added, This morn ing The distance was too great for me to secure any further items from that interesting liar, sir"
 And, still laughing, Pleydell clapped Kirby on the shoulder, while MT. Bunce, drawing his first long breath, mutely thanked the Almighty that all guilelessness and innocence had not entirely deserted mankind when the serpent entered Eden.
 But it was apparent that MT. Ran dall and NJ. Veaudry owned more dis cernment and that their quick suspi- cions, previously aroused, had now be- come active, pregnant with danger. It so happened that they were now aug mented by none other than the Gen eral, who would have died rather than willingly betray his trust. During the judges discourse the boy had joined the group, seeking out Kirby as his natural companion. Looking at the others hand and again at his breast, the General suddenly exclaimed: ''I know what all those things are that you wear. They're cameos.''
 "Cameos," exclaimed Aaron under his breath, his eyes returning to those of NJ, Veaudry.

for wanting to look at the- flowers a day. That can't harm them.'
 "Gene, do you know you're crazy yourse1fT' sadly pronounced Bunce, with a shake of the head. 'They say them loonies do know it sometimes. And nice, crazy turn you done me, too, tying me up here with folks like these" he added, with vehement re- proach as full realization of his many wrongs overcame him. "You know I never had nothin' to say to no ladies, and as soon as ever see one choke up, and my neck gets hot and my ears git red. Interduced me as his secre- tary," again appealing to the invisible audience. Waugh! Secretary! I'd make a h. of a secretary, wouldn't I? Come on, Gene. Pry yourself loose from all this darn foolishness before it's too late"-
 "rve already given you my deci- sion," interrupted Kirby, with some asperity. But, Larkin, don't let my affairs detain you"
 Bunce, after a farewell invocation of the heavens, resigned himself to the inevitable and, seating himself on the garden seat, proceeded to pick his teeth, while he fastened a plaintive and expectant eye on the distant house.
 The partners sat in moody silence for some time until at length their reveries were interrupted by the ad- vent of Judge Pleydell, MT. Randall and M. Neaudry. The judge had but returned from the steamboat landing, and as he approached the occupants of the garden seat his expression was of so serious a character that Bunce, ever on the lookout for trouble, now scented danger and, nudging his com panion, jumped to his feet. But Kir- by, though wary eyed, remained out wardly cool and entirely self possess ed and, embracing this heaven sent opportunity of further aggravating his partner, promptly introduced the lat ter as "my secretary"
 "Colonel Moreau, sir," began the judge, somewhat astonished at the fe- rocity of Mir. Bqnces bow. T have the most astonishing piece of news for you. What would you say if I tC. you that you had no right to be hel at all, sir?"
 As Pleydell, preserving his stern 6e meanor, laid hand on Kirby's shou der his companions exchanged startled and significant glances, while Mir. Bunce grew apologetic and edged nearer his partner. All eyes were now on Kirby, but his expression of mild surprise and courteous interest never changed.
 ''Well, I reckon I'd have to say that the joke was on me, judge" he calmly replied.
 Pleydell began to laugh.
 ''Well, sir, according to rumor, you ain't here. According to rumor. you ain't anywhere. because you're dead" To him it was huge joke, and he roared until the tears mingled with his snowy mustache, all ignorant of the fact that he had propounded a literal truth; ignorant of the fact that his companions were still significantly eying each other and that MT. Bunce was having exceeding difficulty with his collar. In fact, Kirby was the sole member of the interested audi ence who appeared to appreciate the

 '1 can't leave until I've seen Miss Randall" replied Kirby, with quiet 6nality. '1 have told her that would wait for her here"
 "Why, you gosh almighty idiotv' ex- ploded Bunce. Don't you know Tom Randalrs liable to be here any minute and posse with him? If l could track you out here from Moo Orleans, he kin, kain't he? Ain't you ever goin' to quit doin' these reckless, fool things? Surely you ain't reached your time of life without knowin' what a woman means when she says Wait a minute and she didn't even say that. You kain't wait for her, tell you"
 'I'd wait for her till the Lord quit making minutes replied Kirby. "When she comes I'll go''
 Once more Bunce helplessly appeal ed to an invisible audience for pity, for compassion, at his thus being asso- ciated with an utter lunatic.
 You pore lost soul,' he finally grcaned. Do you think don't know what's the matter with you? I seen you look at her. What business have you got hapgin' around a lady, even if you wouldn't git shot for just comin' here? What chance have you got with A ladv anyway? Ain't there wo- men enough in the world? You know no lady would have anything to do with our kind. You got no business"--
 'I don't hurt her if I only look at her, do I?" snapped Kirby, whirling upon his partner i'll sudden passion. ..My God. if a mans been outside the walls for years you can't blame him

Mr.. Franklin's View.

Mr.. Franklin declared that the
committee is not attempting to dictate
to Mr.. Percy, Mr.. Vardaman, or any
body else; that it is merely offering
to act as mediator in case they can
not agree; that it is not the desire of
any member of the committee to die
tate, but on the contrary, they be-
lieved that joint debates had been
agreed to between the candidates, and
all that was necessary to do was to
fix the time and place for such events
In reply to question from Judge
Hughes the speaker declared that the
resolution does not preclude Alexan
der from entering the primary, OF
taking part in the joint debates, but
Mr.. Alexander cannot be considered a
candidate until he formally announc
ed.

Resolution To Rescind.

Senator Percy left the floor, and
was followed by Mr. FAINT, who offered
the following resolution
Whereas, James K Vardaman has
refused to enter the primary as or
dered because of the following clause
ordering same:
1.-The candidates who shall have
formally entered the race are request
ed to arrange suitable dates for such
joint discussions and post same with
the Democratic state executive commit
tee, and in event they shall fail to do
so by June goth, the committee will
arrange the dates. Provided, that If
this executive committee arranges for
dates for such joint debates, they are
to fix an equal number of times and
places suggested by each candidate
so that fairness and justice may be
done.
And, whereas, the committee is
satisfied, because of said refusal that
Ex-Gov. J. K. Vardaman does not in
tend to debate jointly with Senator
Percy the issues for which they
stand, and
Whereas, the committee believes
that such debates are necessary in
order to acquaint the voters with the
issues which must control their
choice,
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
resolution heretofore cdopted order
ing primary to be held in Novem-
Der, be and is hereby rescinded.

Some Lively Speeches.

This opened up the fioodgates of
oratory once more. Hon. ]. B. Stir
ling, former Acknowledgement, was
the first speaker. He set forth some
of the strong arguments against the
primary.
The feature of the evening was the
address of Mr.. Jewell, author of the
resolution.
Mr.. Yewell declared that Governor
Noel, nor no other man, has the right
to dictate to the Democratic party OF
Mississippi, how or when it's party af
fairs shall be settled. and he repealed
vehemently Governor Noel's insinua
ton that there would be likelihood OF
fraud in such an election.
mo man has the right to say that
the Democrats Of Mississippi are
dishonest and will not hold an abso
lutely fair and square election" he
exclaimed.

Resolution Rescinded.

The previous question was then or
dered the ayes and nays demanded,

Mr.. Jewell then endeavored to re-
vive the original resolution and Sc
cure its adoption with section S, in
reference to Joint debates, stricken
out, but he was ruled out OF order.
A motion was then made, for final
adjournment and promptly carried
