Dairying is growing in popular
ity among the farmers OF the south.
There is no business more remun-
erative and as sure to bring results.
The dairy COW can do for the cotton
growers of the south what she has
done for the wheat grower in the
north-increase the fertility OF
the soil in addition TO satisfactory
returns for labor and money ex-
pended for feed. And the inter
ests of the cotton grower are not
opposed to those of the dairyman.
Cotton seed oil has been used in the
manufacture of some kinds of oleo-
margarine, but government reports
show that cotton growers of the
south actually received one and
one-half cents for every acre plan

industry. There is nothing that

An INDIGNANT REPUTATION

The Vicksbu rsHeratI reprmluces
an estimate of tie wheat crop Of
the Southern states for the current

that Mississippi IS i corded but 28,-
600 bushels. This is an utterly un-
founded and redfcllIuus statement.
The census of 1900 save us 81
PSI bushels and it is n0iorious that

its ennui: wherein The sweetness
and fulness Of living are increased
by simple tastes, considerate man

act. Happiness does not consist in
the number of enjoyments crowded
into a life's space, but in the depth
and intensity Of our power TO en-
Joy them. We speak of ''rOse-col-

ing to illustrate that contentment
and discontentment are dependent
upon the individual. When we take
a piece of blue glass and place it
with yellow, it becomes green; when
we put it with red it becomes
purple; yet blue is it all the time,
and just so is each individual re-
sponsible for the tint he produces
upon others. Can we never learn
that the thing is blue and that the
green or purple aspect is only the
tinge which we ourselves help to
give Can we never learn that we
love and are loved entirely as We
give ourselves colors which may

WEATHER TROUBLES.

If the people had the power tc

as much scrapping as there is over
politics, says the Osborne FarrCcf
One man would have out a nice
field of corn, and his neighbor
would be right in the midst Of his
harvest. One would want rain and
the other sunshine. Then there
would be scrap, and all the rest
of the neighborhood would take
sides. The man with the corn
would insist that he was right,and
the man with the weat would
point out how il it did ram ii

who was running a hamburger

Diversification.

Crystal Springs Meteor: In our inn
mediate section, there viii be great
diversification Of crops next year.
We learn that number of farmers
will embark in wheat culture next
year on limited scale.
It strikes us that in order to Sc
cure the necessary aggregate volume
of production every farmer should
prepare to grow two or more acres
in wheat and thus aid in establish
ing a flour mill at Jackson.
The possibilities of this country
are, indeed, unlimited, and we biz IS
the coming of the boil weevil to
unfold them to the visions of the
people. We are destined in the near
future to be self-supporting, in
dependent people, unshackled aud
unhampered by the vicious credit
system. and all who would
hasten the coming of this glad day
should join in the movement to
raise every possible foodstuff at
home and incidentally become cx-
porters of the surplus to feed the
millions in the eongested cities of
the north. Notwithstanding the
fact that this years corn crop. is
one of the largest in history of the
country corn remains abnOrmalf.

It is predicted that within few
years the United States will have ~
import it's breadstuff from Canada
a cogent reason why every farmer
hereabout should plant more or less
of wheat. And don't forget oats.
Get up a decent acreage in both
cereals and by next year modern
reapers and binders will be opera
ted here to take off the crops. Let
us all resolve now, in the presence
of the havoc wrought by the weevil,
to give our soil a chance along
other lines and see what can be done
towards lifting the country out OF
the mire of debt.

Discomfort.

There are few miSfortunes by
which the human being is more sur
rounded or more apt TO fall heir to
than certain degrees of discomfort,
and its greatest danger lies in the
many forms by which it's substitutes
may reach and influence us. Dis
content is good for nothing unless
we can turn it into safeguard
and through it's presence we may
learn to dread its increasing in
fluence.
Discomfort and an active, consci-
entious recognition of duty are
hardly possible in life drearyET
hardly possible in conjunction; for
what makes life dreary is the want
Of motive. Our best part of educa-
tional training is that which comes
through special knowledge and
manipulation or other skill, with its
usual accompaniment Of delight in
relation to the world, which is the
daily breadwinning occupation
which is mans contribution to the
effective weather of society in re-
turn for what he takes as his own
share
In all persons there is doubtless
to be found the seed of discomfort,
and perhaps few responsibilities are
greater than its consistent subduing
There seems indeed to be curse in
its power, so numerous are its vag-
aries and potent its mischief. Truly
may it be said that discomfort is
the root of an even-growing sorrow,
and may be termed both contagious
and infectious, because 1t invari-
ably increases virulence.
Discomfort is also antagonlstlc TO
truth, for nothing SO excites, exag-
gerates and inflames the mind, dis
torting the imagination and colorlng
the truth with each successive i'm
preston.
Worldly possessions and content
ment are by no means synonymous,
for the home which generates hap
piness is the home which stands
as the expression of purpose,
wherein every member is striving
to reach standard and fulfill an
aim; wherein every hour is valued

THE PENALTY OF k0ALg MESS


Another tragedy of Tie Latin
Quarter in Paris has been revealed.
Only a young girl Killed herself
by inhaling gas. 1t is nothing new.
1t is not unusual. The story has
been told and retold SO often that
ii has become a sickeninS recital.
The girl was a genius. Size was a
native OF Netw Orleans. IN an am
ateur way she had won recognition
III her own city and in the scllf ci-
Ties along the coast.
Like most geniuses she was in
experienced along the ways Of The
world, and had but small means
with which to combat the iri;lls and
vicissitudes of life in a Great city.
Like others who have preret,ed her,
she saw in Paris the reali1a;ion Of
her youthful hopes and ambitions.
In the great metropolis Of song and
art, she felt fame was lurking, and
waiting, anxious to lend he" held
inc hand.
All alone she iourneyed a1s IS the
water She arrived in Paris buoy
ant and filled with hope.
Her story is the same That can
be told in advance of many others
who will, in the days to come, begin
the wearying march along that
thankless road.
Her early days were brave days
She studied and worked and strug-
gled. She found out that Paris,
in spite Of the warmth and frivolity
is cold city after all. Sic found
virtue a bitter hand maid. vet she
would not give up and cont;"led to
work and worry
The details of her last cnurs have
been told in the press dispatches
1t is not worth while to recall them.
1t is only necessary TO point out the
penalty of loneliness This South
ern girl who narrowly escaped be-
ing great, found that this life alone
was telling upon her nervous sys-
tenn. She had few fri lid and
the ones she had were OF types as
unfortunate as she Confident until
the end that each coming day would
be the day of success, she lived on
in hay expectation.
Then black despair grippe: her
heart. Her eyes became c,ouded
with that fearful film of uncertain
~ and disappointment. Eaving
failed in her ambitious purpose, and
fearing to return home ard ack-
nowledge this. she sought the sim
plest means Of ending it ell.
She is but another victim of lone
illness and hopelessness. All is a
tyrant, any way. Fate smiles on
a few but scorns the maio:i ty. Her
favors are bestowed with certain
hesitancy The very ones who be-
gin the struggle With SO NJ . con-

In Tennessee politics has arisen
Ca a strange state Of affairs. "A
Fargo number of the good Democrats
have pledged themselves to vote
for the Republican nominee, Hoop
or. TO the average Southern DEM
,ocrat this looks like the rankeSt
distoyalty. But let us sec how this
came about.
Eor a number OF years The Patter-
son machine had controlled Ten
nessee. It passed as Democratic
and through the Tennessee voters
loyalty to the Democrat party had
been enabled to remain in power.
But the Patterson machine, growing
drunk with unbridled power, and
over-greedy, at last Disguised even
the most loyal Democratic
least if he were not on officer holder.
And Patterson, one of the most
corrupt executives that Tennessee
ever had, overStepped the last
bounds of decency when n par
doned the slayers Of Carmack. This
act Of their governor so enraged the
good cietizens of Tennessee that,
when Patterson was again nominal
ed for governor by the Democratic
convention, which was under the
r0ntrol of the machine, that they
4<bolted@ and joined with tee Repub-
TicaRS. This move convinced the
Patterson men that they had reach
ed thedr ropes end and then they
pulled down Patterson and sub
stitutaa Sen. Rob. Taylor. Now
Taylor is a very good man. but the
::'sboitHrs" claim that he is under
the influence OF the Patterson ma
chiQe and viii mot support him.
1T new seems that Hooper, a Repub-
lican, will be elected, by the aid
of the Democratic vote, governor of
Tennessee.
Another case Of the break up Of
the parties.
