CONSUMPTION AND DUST.

DR.. W.. S. Leathers is touring
the State in the interest of health
and sanitation and is endeavoring
to arouse the people to the danger of
consumption, and at the same time
is giving explicit and almost cer-
tain rules and regulations whereby
it can be avoided. Statistics show
that one-third of the people be-
tween the ages of fifteen and sixty
die of consumption and one-fourth
of the people between twenty and
fifty years of age are carried to
their graves because of it.
Expectoration is onesof the chief
sources of propagating consump-
tion. Take this in connection with
the fact that the vast majority of
our towns have no street sprink-
lers; and the people literally tbite
the dust" day after day, the dry
spittle, disease germs, and all sorts
of filth combined in its make up,
and what is the natural result?
We have anti-spitting laws; but
they are dead letter. To supine-
ly tolerate what could so easily be
corrected or avoided, and what is
so antagonistic to health, is Grim
inal; and the germ" of our in
difference will be handed down
from generation to generation.
During the late dusty season,
Brookhaven's sprinkler has been a
refreshing relief; but it should be
extended over all the town and out
as far as possible into the suburbs.

Mississippi Press Association 10th An
nuaI Session at BrOokhaVen
May 9, 10, n:

Hon. j. G. Mcguire, of Yazoo
City, Secretary of the Mississippi
Press Association, has sent out a
circular letter to members of that
body, making the following an
nouncement:
''The 46th annual session Of the
Mississippi Press Association will
be held at Brookhaven, Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday, May 8,
10 and IL, 1911. For the enter
tainment of the Press the citizens
Of that progressive city are making
extensive preparations, and those
who attend, may anticipate a most
delightful. pleasant and profitable
meeting"
A committee composed of Mayor
Heuck, Secretary Conant of the
Board of Trade, Editors L. H..
Bowen, of the Lincoln County
Times, and Mrs. B. T. Hobbs, OF
The Leader, met on last Friday
afternoon to outline entertainment
for the Pressmen during their
meeting here. This was only a
preliminary movement, however.
looking to the successful entertain-
ment of the editors. The program
will appear after a similar meet
ing is held in jackson, with COM
mittee from the State Press, thA
first week in April.
Brookhaven's accustomed big
hearted hospitality will be shown
our visitors, OF, the Press, and a
most cordial welcome awaits each
one.

COUNTING UNMATCHED CHICKS.

The new electoral college, which
will register the choice for presi-
dent in 1912, will consist of 529
members, and 265 will be required
to elect. Already that quality Of
political intellect which delights in
counting chickens before they are
Matched is busy with harmless
speculation concerning the proba-
bilities.
The solid south, including
Arizona, has 100 votes for the
Democrats. The states which have
usually been Republican since the
civil war, give total of 2S8. The
doubtful states have 131-if Col
drado. Idaho, Nebraska and Utah
are considered doubtful. They al
ways went Republican for president
except on the silver question in
1896.
On the face of these figures the
Republicans would appear to have
a long head start. as they will need
but twenty-seven of the doubtful
votes to win, while the Democrats
need los, but-the sure Republi-
can" states include Ohio. Connecti-
cut, Massachusetts and Maine,
which now have Democratic govern
ors. They have fifty-four votes.
Subtract these from one column
and add them to the other and the
score stands: Republicans, 1874:
democrats, 214, with l3l still in
the doubtful list. And of these
doubtful states Colorado, Idaho,
Indiana, Montana, New Jersey,
New York and Wyoming have
Democratic governors. Their votes
total 80, which would let the DEM
ocrats win in a walk if they could
get 'em. To sum up:
It's easy for the Republicans if
they can carry the states they have
1ualIy had in presidential years
since 1860. and easy for the Demo-
Gratis it they can carry the states
they did in 1910.
In other words, the chickens will
be counted when they are Matched.
which will be on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in Novem-
bers 1912, and not before. Elk.
