MISSISSIPPI OFFERS REFUGE.

Three conditions in life today are re-
spcnSible for lessening the natural hope
in the hearts of the great masses of peo-
pie toward peace and independence.
Three conditions are: High cost of liv-
ing, low scale of wages and the increas-
ing prevalence of insecure investment.
For the high cost of living, we have
the trusts and the Republican party which
fostered them to thank. Low wages we
will always have, because people must
work and take what they can get, or
starve The insecure investment is the
outgrowth of commercial age in which
men are more and more losing their con-
scierces in the many opportunities of prey
ing on the weaker portion of humanity
Inasmuch as Mississippi is not manu-
featuring state, wages are not as para
mount an issue as is the case in great
factory centers. We are SO close to the
sell that the high cost of living does not
affect US as it does those sister states
which are utterly dependent on other
sections for foodstuff Nor is Mississippi
a field for the land sharks, the mining
stock promoter, and the rest of this like
the has flourished in other parts more
particularly in recent years.
The above mentioned influences which
exhaust wages and leave people destitute
as soon as their ability to earn is over,
are sickeraing the majority with the ia
tigue of it ALL They want home-a
home that will always be theirs. They
want to cease paying rent, and relief
from the awful fear Of actually being put
on the street and to enjoy the indepen-
ence that is their right.
If these people knew Mississippi, the
fertility of the states soil and the cheap
ness with which it can be secured, their
faces would brighten, and they would
again take hope. The west has lost its
lure The shark has long stree placed
that section beyond the average man.
Mississippi would be the promised land
come true for these people first giving up
hope, if they knew us better.-Yaz oo

NO FARM PRODUCTS FOR SALE

There are no homegrown corn, peas,
hogs or cows for sale in this country
The season has just begun and many
thousands of dollars worth of these things
will be bought during the year.
1t is true that quite a number of our
farmers have all the corn and meat they
will need for their own use, but there are
very many farmers and town people who
will have TO buy.
If those who raise these things had
raised for market as well as for home con-
sumption, they would have realized good
prices for them. Every year thousands
of bushels of corn, thousands of bushels
of peas, thousands of bales of hay, and
thousands of pounds of meat are brought
into this country and sold at high prices.
While imports of this kind are not SO plen-
tiful this winter-partly because of the
economic wave which has swept our coun-
try and partly because of an increase of
home grown stuff-yet, from this time on,
the person who has to buy must get his
supply from other states.
Many farmers believe there is no de-
mand for homegrown things They all
force their surplus on the market at one
time, the result beirg that the supply just
at that time is greater than the demand
and very low prices prevail as a conse-
quence. If hose who are able would hold
their goods for few weeks and let those
who are not sell in the fall, there would
be brisk demand the year round, and
twenty times as much of the products
would be consumed at present.-Port Glib

GOD WILL EXCUSE
FROM HEAVEN
DECLARES MEN DO NOT KNOW
THE SAVIOR.
Says PoserS in Church Threaten to De-
stroy it as IN Insfitution-They
are Forgetting God He Says.

Taking for his subject, Thoughts Ou
of Heart" Rev. w. r. Newell of Chi
cago, who is conducting union revival
meeting at the First Methodist church
preached strong and convincing sermon
at Memphis Tenn, Saturday night to a
large congregation.
Rev. Newell pictured Christ hanging to
the cross and recalled his words to those
responsible for his position:
"'Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they do were Christs words
his heart thoughts, and it is in the midst
of suffering that you find out peoples
real heart thoughts" declared the min
lister
But notice the hearts of those about
the cross, note the Roman soldiers with
the blood of the Son of God upon their
hands. They shook dice to see who would
get to wear his raiment.
There are men in Memphis who will
take another shake at the commercial
dice, are grasping after the things of this
world, and paying no attention, are In
different to Christ.
81 am not trying TO run down Memphis,
because | love the town; that's why / am
here | am trying to bring Memphis to
God.
"There are people here who, when you
ask them to come to church say, fEx-
cuse me, | haven't time
"And God is going to excuse them
going to excuse them from heaven anc

"At the crucifixion Of Christ, people
stood beholding' says the scripture. PEG
pie are doirg that today. The church il
full of such kind of people. They hav,
their names put on the church register
drink the wine and eat the bread or
communion d ay, but they do not know
Christ
Friends, that is going to shipwrecl
the church if you don't watch out.
"They are going to hell because they d.
not know Christ. People are losing con
seriousness of God. They don't fear hin
and they don't believe what am preach
ing.

welded LIFE
AND LONGEVITY
LONG LIFE is DEEMED TO BE A
DESIRABLE THING.
That if Marriage ProIongs Life it Too
is Desirable-The Logic in
Reasoning

The French scientist, DR.. Bertilion
announces that married people live lon
! ger than the unmarried. 1t is, like all
great truths, something we have heard
before. Long life is deemed by nearly
everybody to be a desirable thing. II
then fellows as the night the day that
marriage is desirable, since marriage is
the cause and long life the result.
There are skeptics, of course, who
doubt or pretend to doubt, this univer-
sal truth. But there have always been
individuals who doubt the hottest and
deepest convictions of mankind. The
great truths CT religion and of moral
today who believe that the earth is flat.
There are some bachelors today who OBJ
stinately hide the great truths from their
vision; some maids who persist in think
ing themselves we'll off. There are some
fiery souls who would not deign to live
beyoE1 the age of 40. For them it would
be destruction to marry they might there
by grow to be old. What a misfortune
Among these there are some artists and
minor pests with long hair and unquen-
enable souls. There are also some An
archists amcng them-men and women
who hate the machinery of social life,
who are afraid cf regular habits, fear
full that thereby they may live to be old
commonplace, conservative people.
1t is surprising how, as we grow older,
we come to be like ether people. To
these restless souls who don't believe in
marriage, government or habits like 9th
er people is a frightful misfortune. Rath-
er than to be like others they would pre-
fer being lunatics, maniacs and criminals
or even dead. They live, to the end
or the hopes of youth and of distinction
and the result of their enthusiasm is, as a
rule, not distinction, but extinction, their
logical goal
But for most Of us extinction is, as the
very wise DR.. Bertillon implies, unde-
sirable, or at least undesired And so we
perceive and shall continue to perceive
the great beauty and truth residing in the
idea CT marriage. For the sake of our
prescrv ative chains, which we complacent-
" rattle, we are content to induce the
minor evils of disagreement, quarrels
clashes of temperaments and other irrita-
tons incident to the life giving and adorn-
able state of marriage, to the beauty of
which they merely serve as awakeners
If every thing in the holy state of matri-
mony went On too smoothly we would
net be aware of how happy we are. These
are some Of the many particular plaques
that are given US merely to call at.en-
ton to cur general con'dition of beatitudc
We should net realize that horse was
we'll trained if horses never ran away
We should never know that marriage
makes long life were it not that there are
incidental troubles which sometimes shor-
ten it.

MEANING OF CENSUS TERMS.
The Bureaus Instructions Concerning a
"DSocliing House" Gnia a Family"

Washington, d. c., February II, 1919.
The official definitions of the terms
dwelling house" and family" with
reference to the population schedule to
be carried on by the enumerators in the
Thirteenth United States Census, begin
niTg April 18th next, are explained in
the Census Bureaus lengthy printed in
Structions to be canvassers 1t is pointed
cut that the answers should relate only to
conditions existing on April 18th, the
Census Day"
The words dwelling house" and
family" are, for cersus purposes, given
much wider application than they have
in ordinary speech.
A dwelling" is defined as a place in
which, at tie time of the census, one or
more persons regularly sleep. 1t need
not be a house in the common meaning
cf the word, but may be, for example, a
room in factory store, or office build
ircg, a loft over a stable, canal boat a
tent, or wigwam. The term also in
cludcs hotel, boarding or lodging house,
a tenement or apartment house, an insti-
tuition or school building, if persons regu-
lary sleep there, as we'll as the ordinary
dwelling house.
A family" as a census term, may
mean a group eff individuals who occupy
Jointly a dwelling place or part of a
dwelling place, or an individual living
alone in any place Of abode. All the
occupants and employees of a hotel, if
they regularly sleep there, make up a
single family, because they occupy one
dwelling place, and persons living alone
in cabins, huts, Or tents; persons occupy
ing a room or rooms in public buildings,
! stores, warehouses, factories, or stables
and persons sleeping on river coats, canal
(! boats, barges, etc, if they have no other
usual place of abode, are regarded as
families
The enunerators are required to enter
On the schools the name cf every per-
son whose usual place of abode on April
IS, 1910, was with the family or in the
dwelling place for which the enumera-
ton is being made. The head of the
family is to be entered first; then the
wife next the children, whether sons or
daughters, in the order CT their ages; and
| lastly, all other persons living with the
| family, whether relatives, boarders lodg-
| ers, or servants. The head of the family,
whether husband or father, widow or IN
married persor Of either sex, is to be
designated by the word "head, and the
other members of family as wife, father,
mother, son, daughter. grandson, daugh-
ter-in-law, uncle, aunt, niece, boarder,
/ ledger servant etc. according to the
| particular relationship which the person
bears to the head of the family.

Prominent Men Of ell Denominations

The echo meeting" Of the Laymen's
Convention at the First Baptist church
Sunday afternoon was a most pronounced
success. In fact, no session of the great
convention was more in keeping with the
spirit that gave rise to the great movement
Upon entering the spacious auditorium,

Total. :. :. =. $Io,53S ..$1251
The foregoing shows that Jackson has
agreed to contribute $53S.oo more than
was assumed during the convention; and,
yet, it was stated that three of the con-
gregations had only begun their campaign,
E while in no church has the work been
completed 1t therefore seems that the
city will SO to $4,000 or more-effectual-
Iy doubling the contributions made last
year.
Mr.. Oscar Newtor, Jr., president of
the Jackson Bank, presided during the
conference.
After the reports of the committees,
four notable addresses were made. Mr..
Marcellus Green, who has taken most
active interest in working up the great
convention, spoke on Assuming World
Obligations" This speech will go down
in the religious history of Jackson
Mr. w Calvin Wells, Jr., spoke on
"The Open Doors and our Duty to Enter
Them"
DIR. ]. E. Walmsley followed en-
"The Reasonableness of the Undertaking. ="
Finally DR.. J. R. Dobyns, superin-
tendent of the Institute for the Deaf
and brother to the inimitable DR..
Dobyns, of St. Joseph, Mo, who spoke
during the convention, addressed him
self to 'gThe Christ Life" No speech
In our great convention was more appre-
ciated than this.
Altogether, this meeting is a most
rotable one for the church people of our
city. Meme CT the speakers were Bap-
fists yet they occupied the Baptist pulpit
The audience itself was composed of men
and women cf varing creeds and profess
sions. It is great day for Jackson when
all her church people unite in any COM
mon work
As a result Of this meeting, it is stated
that a suggestion made by Rev. Halsey
Wcrlein, Jr., will likely be acted upon
providing for a donation of four or five
Of the leading laymen of this city to 60
to the five largest towns Of the state and
hold two-day conventions in each. It is
already assured that such will be done.
Mr.. S. r Written has a message dat
ed, Houston, Teaxas, saying:
''Yours was the greatest convention OF
the southern series.
(Signed.) I'D. CLAY LILLE4."
J. R. Bingham, prominent merchant
of Carrollton, Miss, says: we voted
to increase cur foreign mission gifts
90 per cent. The Methodist on the first
round almost made the whole increase
T. B. Graham, of Forest, says: "Par-
tial returns, gives 400 per cent increase
for the Methodist and $50 per cent in
crease each for the Presbyterians and
Baptists." -Claricn-Ledger.

BURGLARS NOW BURGLE TO
STRAINS OF SWEET MUSIC
Harmonica and Bones Now Com
panions to the Jimmy

NEW YORK, May 12.-Through the
strains of a harmonica and a pair of
clappers Louis Kaplan, a tailor of 40
East One Hundred and Thirty-second
street, early today heard what sounded
like someone forcing the door of his
shop. Kaplan, who lives behind the
tailor shop, and his wife. were asleep
when the music of lusty harmonica
and a pair of "bones" aroused him.
Someone was playing merrily in front
of the store.
He was about to turn over and go to
sleep again, when he heard a noise
above the music. He crawled on his
hands and knees into the store.
Just then Patrolman Mcdonald of
the East One Hundred and Twenty
sixth street station approached and
found three young men, two of them
making the music and the other ap-
parently idle. Mcdonald was not sus-
picious until he saw Kaplan in his
night shirt standing at the door and
signaling over the shoulders of the
three youths who stood back to the
door. AS Mcdonald closed in the
three darted away, dropping steel
Jimmy and the harmonica and "bones."
After a chase of two blocks Nc
Donald caught one of the youths, who
was Alfred Duffy, "a years old, no
home, and no occupation. He was
charged with attempted burglary. An
examination showed that some one
had been using a jimmy on the tailor
shop door. The other two young men
made good their escape.
