fed to get out and have a license to
preach and expound all about Predestina-
ton, fore-ordination and all the rest
of it.
When the Cumberland PresbyterianS
and the Gust Presbyterians" patched up
their differences and all got together I'M
der the same tent, there was a Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church up at West
Point concluded it would go it alone
or at least a part Of the congregation
did-and another part Of the congregG-
ton didn't.
Finally the matter got into court. The
part who wanted to remain as the only
dyed-in-the-wool original blown-in-the-
bottle Cumberland Presbyterians said
they wanted to remain separate and dis
tinct. The other crowd wanted to merge.
From a lively internal row the matter
got into court, and from the chancery
court it went to the supreme court. The
supreme court decided that the action
of the general synod of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church was binding on the
subsidiary congregations and the merger
stuck.
From this the disgruntled element in
the original Cumberland crowd at West
Point filed a suggestion of error, and
hence the members of the supreme court
are wrestling with fine points of Presby-
terrain theology with "Fox's Book of Mar
tyrs" and 'Dr. Jowett's Dissertations"
and such other light summer reading as
a side lins to divert their minds with.

MISSISSIPPI TOBACCO FINE.
Italian and French Governments Have
Ewes on Our Crop.

Italian and French Governments Have
Eyes on Our Crop.
Jacksonville showing the Mississippi
~penitentiary is making on tobacco cul-
ture is amazing.
Dan Brewer Of the American Tobacco
Company of Clarksdale was at the meet
ing Of the board of trustees at the state
house, and was showing some photo
graphs of ~luxuriant fields Of tobacco.
It was planted on the state farms
as an experiment this year, and Mr..
Brewer, who is an expert OIL the culture
Of the weed says that he has never
seen anything to equal the yield any
where in all his experience.
The crop is perfect. There are ff
teen acres at the Rankin farm, some of
the dark wrapper tobacco which will
make at least 1000 pounds to the acre
and which will bring from 10 cents to
IL 1-2 cents per pound.
Significant indeed is the inquiry re-
cOived from the French and Italian gov
ernments, which have a monopoly of
the sale of tobacco IN their respective
territories. They are very much inter
ested in the Mississippi crop, and will
be active bidders for it after it has
been cured and ready for the market.

SINGLE SHOT" BALLOTS.
Mississippi Attorney General DeclarSa
Them Legal.

Jacksonville attorney generals Office
has received a considerable number Of
letters from election officers, asking if
what is known as single shot" ballots
are legal.
Assistant Attorney-Gsneral Carl Fox
has delivered the following opinion upon
the question:
"a single shot ballot is one on which
the voter votes for only one where there
are two or more offices of the same kind
to be filed for example, where there are
two or more members of the legislature
to be elected from one county.
"There is nothing in the law which
forbids casting a single shot ballot. 1t is
true that in section 4161 of the code IL
the following provision;
"'And Immediately following the title
Of each officer shall be printed the words,
Vote for one,' or Vote for two or more,
according to the number to be elected
This is prescribed, however, merely
for the purpose Of informing the voter
that there is only one, or that there are
more than one, office to be filled. The
section merely prescribes the form of the
printed ballots and was not intended to
prescribe ballots and wal not intended
to prescribe the number Of candidates
that the voter must vote for in order
that his ballot shall be legal.
"The election laws are purely statu-
tory, and there is nothing in the statute
that indicate any intention on the part
of the Legislature that a single shot ballot
shall be illegal. If such had been tho
intention it could and would have been
easily expressed in simple words.
"My opinion is, therefore, that where
there are two or more Offices of the
anne kind to be filled, a voter may legal
ly vote for one; and if there are more
than two, he may legally vote for any
number less than the whole number to
be filled"

Ended Cats Solourn.

Felix Smith OF Easton, Pa, bought
a cat the other day. He paid S. for
her. Why did Felix pay five bucks
for the cat? Answer--Because she
was guaranteed to be a good ratter.
Did Felix have rats? We should say
he did-the house was full Of emil
And the cat cleaned 'em outl Nor
that's the curious part Of It After tho
cat had been on the job a week the
rats were as plentiful as ever. Felix
wouldn't understand it until one even
Ing he concealed himself in the base
mont to watch the cat. About 9 D
a., as the cat sat with her eye on q
rat hole, Felix says that rat after
rat came out Of the hole, walked up
to the old cat, kissed her goodnight
and then returned to the hole. After
that Felix kicked the cat out Of the
house.-Boston Post. sst4,s

eTRoNGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.'

A gentleman who has acquired a
dicial turn Of mind from experisht
on the bench out in the Sunfbw
State writes a carefully consiHerj
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nd
as food. He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty favor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps US all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive of
disease 1t is beyond value. / have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
cial effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies' who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
p%erience is that one small dish Of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat
isles the appetite and strengthens the
power of resisting fatigue, while it's
use involves none Of the d~isagreeabls
consequences that sometimes follow
a meat breakfast" Name given by

USE ONLY BEST SEED CORN
Soon as Crop Is Mature Farmer Should
Select Most Vigorous Ears for
Next Seasons Planting.
(By q. H. ALFoRD.)

Twelve to fifteen good ears of corn
will plant an acre.. Can we afford not
to select the necessary carr to plant
the 1919 crop In the field this fall
Certainly not. Let US go into the field
as soon as the corr is fully mature,
and select well-matured ears from the
most vigorous stalks, strip of the
shucks, tie them into strings of fif-
teen to twenty BARS each and hang
them in the attic at once where the
circulation of air is good and where
the rats will do no damage.
Write to the secretary of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c., for bulletins
on the selection Of seed corr at once
and be sure to select a sufficient mum.
Der of ears in the field this fall to
plant ten times the required acreage.
Next spring the best ears may be Sc
lected from the number saved this
fall. The seed corn can be selected
in the field in the fall In less time
than is required to select It in the
crib In the spring. The careful selec,
tlon In the field will often add 81
per cent. to the yield. :

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

my troubles began along In the

It took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass OF
pimples which would burn and itch at
night so that l could hardly stand 1t.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
q clot Of blood.
II tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and l was net
getting any benefit. It seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair, I was
finally given a set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside ef two weeks l
could see and feel a great relief. /
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months time my back
wal nearly cured and l felt like a 10
being. Now l am in good health and
no sign Of any skin diseases and l

Business Is Being Secured Through Ii

Jackson.-Discussing official matters
Insurance Commissioner T. M. Henry
stated that he had information that
several unlicensed insurance companies
are soliciting and writing business in
Mississippi. 1t is his information that
the business which these concerns are
securing is being secured through reg
ularly licensed insurance agents. Mr..
Henry named the following as being in
the doubtful category: Columbia Mutual
Fire, of Philadelphia; Royal Mutual Fire
and Metropolitan Mutual, also of Phila-
dslphia, together with the Mutual Co.
Operative Benefit Association.
The penalty for an authorized agent
who places insurance In an unauthorized
company is the revocation of its license,
while in addition it is made liable for
the amount of the loss. In two recent
cases Mr.. Henry has revoked licenses of
fire insurance agents, and as the com
panies in which the business was placed
have declined to settle, he is now as
sisting the assured in efforts to compel
the aforesaid agents. to pay for the

The barrel of water is SO connected

SPLENDID DEMONSTRATION.

cites Admiration.
Jacksonville board of penitentiary
trustees met to award contracts for va
nous items needed by the p~enitentiary.
The chief interest of the meeting was
conferred, however, in the magnificent
showing of canned vegetables from the
Oakley farm, especially the camp III
der Sergeant Mcneil. The canning OPP
srations were in charge of Mrs. J.. NJ.
Dodd, and a more appetizing lot Of veg
stables was never seen before. There
were tomatoes-several cans Of them
opened, and as fine as ever were put
upon the market. There was okra and
corn the like of which one cannot get
In the ordinary grocery store. Then
there was a combination Of corn and
tomatoes, appetizing indeed, and a veg
etable soup which made a person hungry
to look at and ravenous to smell.
The authorities are preparing to can
the sweet potatoes and the syrup this
fall, and will, 1t is estimated, turn out
between $4,000 and 10O,O 900 cans of the
very finest sort of syrup and yam pota-
toes. These products will be sold, and
those cans not sold will be utilized in
feeding the prisoners.
The authorities now have $4,000 cans
at Oakley, and Sergeant Mcneil states
that between twenty-five and thirty
bushels of the finest tomatoes are being
gathered each day and put up. The
main crop to be canned is the potato
and syrup crops.

table matter in soils, by erosion, and
by lack of rotation, which absolute de-
pendence on market values and COM
mercial fertilizers encourages, and
which the use Of livestock discourages.
The idea that the commercial fertil-
izer is a mysterious panacea Of all
plant life, and that when the farmer
makes use Of 1t he has done all that
Is needful to reimburse the soil for
the materials removed by the crop,
is an idea that is altogether too preva-
lent.
Nothing else has initiated SO much
against the rational relation Of live
stock to average farm operations as
utter disregard Of the fertility sold
from the farm when corn and other
crops are sold direct and not fed. In
other words, for the sake of the soils
Of the state and their future produc-
ton 1t has been altogether too COM
mon a practice for the producer to
calculate the value Of his crop on the
market price. The market price less
the fertility sold in each pound, bush
ell, ton or other commercial units is
a more logical basis of estimate, and
yet under any system Of direct mar
keting Of crops we lose sight of the
possibility of a better price If fed to
live stock on the farm, the value Of
the utilization of roughage, the accum-
ulation Of elements of plant food and
vegetable matter in the manure, a
more judicious and profitable rotation
and diversity Of crops, and an in
creasing crop yield at much less cost
per acre.
