This paper does not belong in
the Noel Column, and the remark
we make now is no sign we have
wheeled on into it, for we still think
him a weak governor though a good
meaning man, but there is no man
with any ability at all that has had
the advantage of legal and states
craft training that he has had, but
what would occasionally show a
squirt of cleverness. Such Governor
Noel displayed when he extricated
himself from the dilemma of ap-
pointing a temporary Senator to sit
in the deceased McLaurin's chair
until the Legislature could elect a
man for it. The giving of the ap-
pointment to Gordon, the old Con-
federate veteran, was a fitting trib-
ute and honor and relieved Noel
from complications in the Sem
atorial choice.-Greene County Her

MENSNE FARMING.

OF corn each last year, under the
direction of the Department of Ag-
riculture. Persons interested in the

pi, South Carolina and Virginia of
fered to pay the expenses of a trip
to Washington for the boy in each
state who raised the greatest amount
of corn on his acre. The winning
boys will soon visit the national
capital.
The average yield of corn to the
acre in 1909 was a little more than
twenty-five bushels. The South
Carolina boy, who made the best
record, produced one hundred and
ffty-two and one-half bushels. The
winning Mississippi boy raised one
hundred and forty seven bushels;
the Arkansas boy one hundred and
thirty-fye, and the boy in Virginia
one hundred and twenty-five. The
average raised by each of the twelve
thousand was sixty bushels.
The instructions given to those
boys by the Department of Agri-
culture are available to every farm
er in the country. If they should
be followed exactly, the yield OF
corn to the acre could easily be
doubled in a single year.
Intensive cultivation is worth
while on all crops. The average
yield of potatoes to the acre in 1903
was one hundred and seven bush

two hundred and twenty-five bush.

siue of them dug four hundred
bushels to the acre. The yield o.
corn and posatoes depends more
upon cultivation and fertilization
than upon the soil, and there il
practically no part of the United
States in which these crops cannot
be raised successfully.
It is beyond doubt that larger
crops can be produced from tel
acres thoroughly titled than from
two or even three times ten acres
cultivated as they usually are. Thu

WORTHLESS CHECKS.

WORTHLESS CHECKS.
According to some of the prom
inent business men of Jackson, the
worthless check evil is a problem
that ought to be dealt with by the
Mississippi legislature during its
present session says The Jackson
News.
This evil, according to the testi-
mony of some of our merchants, is
widespread, and is the source of a
good deal of annoyance, if not ac-
tual loss. A man gives his check
for goods purchased, for money
borrowed or for a debt or for some
other purpose, when, as a matter of
fact, he has no money in the bank
on which the check is drawn. In
many instances the person who
gives the check may have no inten-
ton to defraud. His aim is to get
goods on time or to get time in
which to discharge an obligation or
to get money for immediate use, *
pecting to be in funds in a few days.
There are others, however, who do
not intend to make good their
checks unless they r compelled to
do so, and it is a difficult matter to
compel them unless they have prop
erty which can be reached by legal
methods.
But whatever the purpose OF the
person giving the check, it is ev-
ident that in most cases he isn't
honest, and a dishonest man will
evade an obligation if he can do so.
The excuse of those who give worth
less checks is that they thought
they had money in the bank suf-
fcient to meet the check. No doubt
there are cases in which this ex-
cuse is valid, but isn't it their bus
mess to know whether or not their
check will be IGNORED?
What legal, moral or other right
have they to be giving trouble and
annoyance to other people by their
~carelessness or Indifference? Every
person giving a check should know
that he has the money in the bank
to meet it. If he hasn't, a fair con
clusion is that he knew he hadn't
and that he intended to get a loan
to the amount of his check by
means not altogether honest.
The evil has become so wide
spread that it hat become a serious
hindrance to business. Merchants
and others often hesitate to take
checks in the regular course of bus.
mess. They are afraid that they
will find the checks given them are
Horthless-that there are no funds
in the banks on which the checks
are drawn with which to pay them
1t is rather difficult to deal with
this question of worthless checks
but there ought to be a way to stop
the evil. If it were made a mis-
demeanor to give a check on a bank
in which there we're no funds to meet
it, the punishment being severe
enough to make the giving of q
check a more serious matter than il
seems to be now, the chances are
there would be- an abatement of the
evil. The law could be so wordec
that those who honestly give checks
when they have no funds to NEE
them wouldn't be liable to punish
ment, but they would have to show
they really believed they had thu
amount of money in the bank they
pretended to have. The time ha:
certainly come for legislation or
this subject. The banks and thu
merchants have been the victim.
of these givers of worthless cheeks
long enough. If the evil ism
stopped, it is likely to ASSUME
mich greater proportions.

BETTER SCHOOL HOUSES.

DGstAn tAutOOA hsVOOAOe #4aAl
When the legislature gets through
with its political powwowing there
is one subject to which the friends
Of education desire to call its for
chile attention.
There are school houses in the
imperial state of Mississippi made
of logs, with dirt floors and square
holes in the walls to let in the light.
These holes are sometimes closed
with glass and are then called win
dows. In the cold weather the
children fill the spaces between the
logs with grass and cotton, to make
the forlorn room a little warmer,
Or rather a little less cold.
People of so years and over re-
member such school houses. Many
of the members of the present leg
lature absorbed the rudiments of
education in them. But they are
only q memory to the vast MAORI
ty who will be astonished to hear
that in the outlying, neglected por-
tons Of the state such facilities
for education still survive.
Moreover, if report tells true, the
teachers in such localities are too
often of a condition equally print
tive and uninformed. Sometimes
they are young men and women who
interrupt their own education and
go to teaching for a season in Dr.
der to get money to complete the
course OF training they have chos-
en-. They give the best they have,
but fitness for the duty cannot be
claimed for them.
In cities and large towns special
attention is paid the very little
folks. In the primary grades they
are under the care Of teachers who
love their work and are qualified by
special instruction to start the small
children IN life, and start them
right. There are no such advant-
ages for the younger boys and girls
in log school house districts.
Should a great state like Missis-
sippi permit fortune and the acci-
dent Of place to work such a dis
elimination? On the American
theory of society and government,
the children of the rural precincts
are entitled to the best education the
State can afford.
The recommendation of the de-
partment Of education relative tc
the improvement of the rural schools
and to provide a state normal and
training school for teachers, in which
young men and women can be prop.
erly equipped for the work of teach
ing, should be favorably acted upon
before this legislature adjourns.
Primitive school houses and mad.
equate instructions must be abolish.
ed in Mississippi. The child is the
States greatest asset, and every dol.
lar spent for education will bring
to the commonwealth substantial re.
turns one hundred fold. No money
appropriated for these purposes will
be wasted Jackson News.

ena, Greenwood cannot boast Of a mod
ern playhouse, and is forced to be CON
tent with a small opera house. OF it's
kind, the Gem Theatre has shown it
self deserving Of a large patronage.
And endeavoring to show It's a~pprecia-
ton of the patronage that has been ac-
corded it, it has booked Tempest and
Sunshine" for tonight. What the ex-
pertinent will realize for the manage
ment is only an estimate, but it is hope
that the t~heatre-going people Of our
city will flock out tonight and show
their appreciation Of the Gem in it's de-
sire to give the city which owns it de-
cent attractions.
