THIS HOT SEPTEMBER WEATHER

DR.. Sam Pool, the local Weather
Observer furnishes us the following
interesting summary of this Septem-
Der hot spell:
ION the 18th inst the thermome-
ter stood at 81 and on the 18th it
was 100. Comparing Sept. 1911 with
Sept. 1910 we find that on Sept. 22nd
1910 the Thermometer stood at 100,
and on the Dist same year it reached
l01. We also find, up to the 18th
Sept. last year the TherInomete, had
registered 90 five times, and 80 once,
where it has only reached 81 once,
Sept. this year and 100 once; not
having gone higher than SO but
twice up to the 18th OF this present
month and year.
He agrees with the general opin-
ion that the heat has been felt more
this September than last even though
the thermometer DIDN'T show such
high registration.

GIVE YOUR BOY HIS CHANCE.

State Fair Bulletin
The time has passed in Mississlppi
when great Fair is looked upon as a
place for fun and frolic alone. and a
general time waster.
OF course, there is always enough
and to spare of fun and frolic for the
young folks. But the real aim and
purpose OF our great State Fair is
not to waste time. 1t is to place be-
fore our people in attractive form the
great lessons which we must learn
before we can attain that success
which is our right.
Bring the boys and girls, and en-
courage the older members of the
family to attend, if for but one day,
and you will never regret it.
The new ideas they will get, the
freshened energies which they will
take home, the quickened interest in
their homes and in their crops, will
richly repay you.
Why, one morning spent in the
pens where the many breeds of the
swine were exhibited last year, and
ii careful observation and listening
by a lad of fifteen (whose home had
known naught save razor backs a
mong its hogs,) so inspired and en-
couraged the boy that he invested
his savings in prize hog and is this
year the prondest boy in the county
With every prospect of being able to
buy more hogs and progress steadily
toward his dearest aim in life, which
is to be a great stock breeder,
What loss and injustice to this
boy would it have been had that hoy
father not allowed him to visit the
State Fair at Jackson last year.
Give yours "a chance this year,
friend.

Where Checks are Signed by Thumb
Drty,

Where Checks are Signed by Thumt
Prints.
Out in Cheyenne, Wyoming, there
is a bank which has depositors of sc
many different nationalities that il
has found it necessary to require
Identification by some means other
than a written signature. The bank
officials have, therefore. made it
rule that its foreign depositors must
sign their checks with the imprint
OF their right thumb, in addition te
their written signatures. Railroads
in Wyoming have brought in, as la
borers hundreds of Asiatics, includ
ing Japanese, Chinese, Koreans. etc.
while big coal mines around Chey
enne have imported many thousands
of workmen from southern Europe
Hundreds Of these have made lepos
its with this bank, but are mostly
unknown to the bank officials. Writ
ing English but poorly. these derosi
tors could scarcely ever duplicate
their own signatures, and for the pro
lection of the bank the officials were
obliged to demand an additional
Identification. When a would-be de-
positor asks to open an account with
that bank he places On file his writ
ten signature, and at the same time
the impress of his right thumb is
fled Afterwards when a check from
this man is received at the bank, ii
must have the thumb-print attached
rs well as the written signature, and
this thumbprint must, of course
correspond with that on file in the
banks records. The thumb-print
system, it may be added, is the old
Chinese method Of Identification

MOltkenbuhr VIII
Lead Socialists in
German Reichstag
Man Who Declared on Floor that His
Party is Working for a Republic
Will Direct Party.

BERLIN, Wednesday, Fec. ls-Herman
Moltkenbuhr, member from saNUny, has
been elected president OF the social demo-
cratic faction In the Reichstag, thus re-
ceiving the mantle OF the late Paul Singer
who, up TO his death, shared the presi-
dency Of the faction with the aged leader
August Bebel.
Bebel has been compelled to retire almost
completely from politics On account OF his
age anG health, leaving the responsibility
for the parliamentary tactics on the
shoulders OF Moltkenbuhr. The latter Is
writer, originally a cigar marker by trade
who on account OF his political activity
was expelled from Germany in 1881 and
spent three years in the United States
He Is a hard political fighter, as pug
nacious as Bebel, and aroused the Reich
stag this winter with flat declaration
that his party was working for a republic
In Germany. He entered the Relchatag IN
1890 as representative from Berlin and
was first defeated in 1906 after which a
seat was found for him In saxony.
The present trend In the party appears
to be against the iron discipline and auto
cratic authority enjoyed by Bebel and
Singer, and the new leaders rule prob
ably will not be so unquestioned.
