A bill to create State School

fuse to sign the petitions, which is
dead easy.
The people of Hayti are keeping sa-
looms out of certain localities in town
where they are not desired. Unlike
Charlottesville, with saloons scattered
all over town, Hayti is contning her
saloons strictly to the business part of
town and will not permit one at or
near the depot. So the country people
can do the same, if they do not want
them.
Simply because there is a POSSl-
BILITY of some one trying to put a
saloon where it is not wanted should
not be sufficient grounds for such a
hard fight against Hayti, which of ne
cessity must have saloons in order to
hold her own with Charlottesville.
Hayti only asks her rights and fair
chance. The time is long past when
a local option election could be had in
Charlottesville, but nothing has been
said or done, and as all this local OPP
tion muddle since nearly five years
ago has centered at Charlottesville,
even to putting up the money, paying
the speakers, lawyers ard court fees,
and the purchase of the old Hayti Ar
gus, all to put the county dry, seems to
indicate that charlottesville wants sa-
looms at the expense of the entire
county and that many country people
have permitted themselves to be used
as tools to that end.
Why not put the largest and strong
est town dry first? That was the inten-
tion of the people before the 1906
election was ordered. The matter was
started in Charlottesville under just
such promises, but fooled the people
and had the county vote first, then re-
tuined her saloons. 50 it is only ma
tural that Hayti did her best to get
out strong vote at the last election.
and won and now has saloons. Every
one knows the fight against Hayti in
the last election centered at CarutherS-
vile: that they tried to prevent the
election being ordered, tried to enjoin
it after it was ordered, hired lawyers
and speakers, worked the county fol
assistance, and after the election was
over. have tried in various ways tc
contest the election.
Now, after all these tricks and
schemes on the part of Caruthersville
! will the country people longer lend
their aid against Hayti?

GUY COOKSY FIGHTS

According to the Sikeston Herald of
recent date, Guy Cooksey, the Skies
ton Hornet man has been arrested,
charged with assaulting L. G. Holley,
president of the Holley Matthews Man
ufacturing Co. 1t appears there had
been some trouble between the men
growing out of some disagreements
among their children at school.
The affair is to be deplored but un-
til the preliminary trial is held or we
are further advised we are not in Il
position to form AN opinion on the
merits of the case.
II appears that Mr.. Holley was
quite seriously injured, but the Her
aid says his condition was reported
improved. BLOOMFIELD Nindicator

In 1890 the census reported the In
dian population of America, exclusive
of Alaska, in round numbers as 249,-
OOO At that time it was the general
belief that the Indians, like the hutfa-
10. would become extinct. Predic-
tions were made that few or none
would be left in fifty years time
Many good reasons, too, were given
why they would perish. But in 1900
they numbered 267, 900 in round fig
ures, and in 1910 the census counted
800, 900. The gain from 1890 to 1900
was only about 1000, while in the
last decade it was double that, being
80, 900, and increase of more than IA
per cent. The growth of the white
population of the United States inn
migration excluded, has not been SO
great as that

Many people are looking for some
quiet, peaceful, inexpensive place.
Life is too fast for them and every
thing is too high; there is too much
rush and too much worry. This town
is full of just such people and would
be better off without them. On sever
al occasions we have suggested to the
city council way to overcome this.

Ditto to Charlottesville.

Could charlottesville have put the
saloons out of the remainder of the
county without interfering with Hayti,
then Hayti would have been a much
larger and better town today.
From business standpoint. Hayti
is like Caruthersville and does not
really desire to see saloons in locali-
ties where the people do not want
them, and we do not see how any To-
cality or town can he forced to have
saloons against its will. This fact is
so simple and so plain that any fair
minded person can readily see the
point. All that is necessary is TO re-

DR.. William A. Hammond's story OF
How He Turned to Writing OF
Fiction, Following Example OF
DR.. A. Wier Mitchell.

The late DR.. William Alexander

of the time when the Civil war was
being fought. and thereafter until MS
death. which occurred In l9oo' NC
was looked upon generally as one ol
the worlds foremost authorities upon
nervous diseases. He was also
very voluminous writer on medical
subjects.
But 10 and behold, in the early
eighties DR.. Hammond blossomed out
as a novelist, and there was no ntlle
astonishment thereat, and good deal
of conjecture as to how he had founo
time for such work. For he was De-
ing constantly consulted upon his spe-
cialty. he was engaged in teachlne
in a university medical school, ana
he was constantly publishing medicai
treatises. some of which were trans
lated and published In France ana
other European nations.
Soon after the publication OF MS
second novel, "Lal." which attracted
the most attention of all his works
of fiction, and which gained tne
common estimate that in none OF MS
other books had he come SO near
the high-water mark as noVenst,

Stephen A. Douglas Admitted During
the Famous Debate That He
Dreaded to Hear His oppo-
nent Begin an Aneedote.

One of the commission that was
sent to Hawaii in 1898 by President
Mckinley to establish a government
for those islands when they were an
nexed to the United States was the
late Robert r. Hit of Illinois, an in
fiuential member of the lower house
of congress from 1881 until a year
before his death in 1906.
A few days before Mr.. Hit started
for Hawaii l had an opportunity to
renew my acquaintance with him.
which had begun when he was assis
tant secretary of state in 1881 under
James @. Blaine. In the course OF
our conversation Mr. Hit took small
memorandum book from vest pocket
and made one or two entries in short
hand.
81 reported the Lincoln-Douglas de-
bates in shorthand" he explained,
"and ever since have used that mode
= of writing. 1t has been of great value
to me. L used it constantly when |
was In the state department, and
expect to make much use Of 1t while
in Hawaii"
your ability to write in shorthand
must have been put to severe test
at the time you reported the Lincoln
Douglas debates" said.
mo. 1t was not very difficult work
The chief thing l had to contend
against was the noise of the crowds;
many of the meetings were held In
the open air, and there was a con-
tinual noise all about. as is liable to
be the case in open air gatherings.
Both Mr. Lincoln and Mr.. Douglas
were easy speakers for competent
shorthand writer to report. Lincoln,
l think, was a little the easier. for
he spoke less rapidly than did Mr..
Douglas. Both of them enunciated
clearly enough.
81 have been told" continued Mr..
Hit, that owe it to history to write
nv personal recollections of that great
debate, especially as I am probably
the only person now living who was
present at all of the debates. But

''Mr. Douglas answered that there
had not been a moment when he had
been afraid of Lincoln as a debater.
All through he had been confident
OF his ability to hold his own In the
give and take Of debate and In the
presentation OF arguments. He hest
tated for a moment, thinking appa-
rently, and then continued:
81, of course, have perceived that
Mr.. Lincoln is very strong with the
crowd. but have felt that l have
held my own with the crowd as well
as he has. There is one thing. how
ever. of which stand constantly In
dread. When Lincoln begins to tell
a story | begin to get apprehensive.
Every one of his stories seems like
a whack upon my back-that is ex-
actly the effect that the allegories and
anecdotes, of which he is master, have
upon me. Nothing else-not any OF
his arguments or any of his replies
to my observation-disclosures me. But
when he begins to tell story. feel

Wrote Novels to Gain Rest

the experiment One night, after
day of great labor, l went to my
library. put two or three cigars upon
my library table and as | smoked
them let my fancy have full sway.
Almost instantly l found that the
operation of the mind which the play
of fancy makes possible served as
real brain rest. Moreover, it was a
physical rest. So l speedily con-
tracted the habit of writing fiction
after my regular days work was
over. Sometimes | write until an
hour or two after midnight. Then
a delicious languor, perfectly normal,
comes to me, and / go to bed as GER
tain of sound sleep as is lad who

Just this way I have written my two
novels, and I hope to write others
in the same way" Which he did.

The Latest: "starve the Fly"

The campaign against the fly is
progressive with the years. Thirty
years ago we had the playful slogan,
."Shoo, fly, don't bother me-" Later
came the more vigorous Swat the
fy.9 This spring it is "Starve the
fly" The Detroit board of health has
issued a pamphlet urging people to
screen their doors and windows, tc
keep the screens over articles OF
food and to shut flies out of the sick
room. To these admonitions the
washington health officer ,dds one to
keep the stables clean. The purpose
of all this, of course. is to deprive
the fly of his usual sustenance, to
prevent the accumulation of germs
upon his feet and SO to prevent him
from carrying disease from one place
to another. Did you ever examine a
common house fly under micro
scope? If not, do so at the first op-
portunity. You will certainly expe-
rience the sensation of having found
a real enemy, SO vicious does the
enlarged image of the alleged inno-
cent insect appear. He will be seen
to have all the equipment for vast
mischief, neglected until now because
of its smallness to the ordinary vision.
