At the Tuberculosis exhibition, held

noted expert, lectured to a large au-
dience on alcohol ard tuberculosis"
DR.. Fulton said that there was some
connection, direct and indirect. be-
tween alcohol and consumption. An
indirect way in which the two were
connected was that alcohol was instru-
mental in placing people in unhealthy
surroundings, with insufficient food.
He would also show that there was
scientific evidence that there was a
direct connection between the two. AL
cohol was an indirect cause of con-
sumption, mainly because it was a
cause of poverty. He had long since
come to the conclusion that it was not
poverty that caused drink, but drink
that caused poverty and dirt. People
who were poor did not live in such good
rooms as others, and they were often
overcrowded, and infection was the
more dangerous under these condi-
lions. Money, too, was often spent on
alcohol which should be spent on food

KING WARNS AGAINST DRINK
Africa Cautions His People Against
Use of Alcohol.

Words of warning against alcoholic
drink formed part of the kingly ad-
dress of one of the most powerful ma
tive rulers of South Africa at great
celebration lately held to mark the
fiftieth anniversary of his acceptance
of Christianity This ruler is King
Kama of the Bamangwato, in Bechu-
analand, South Africa. Fifty-one years
ago Kama came in touch with a Ger
man missionary preaching and teach
ing among the native Bechuanas in the
old native capital of the Bamangwato,
at Shoshong, and accepted the new
faith. A year later he came to his
own as king and ruler of the Bamang-
wato, and became at once so active in
promoting the spread of Christianity
among his people that at length the
whole great territory over which he
ruled came under its sway.
Kama, now an aged man, but still
the happy ruler of his Christian sub
jects, has recently held at Serowe, his
capital, week of festival for his
Christian jubilee, attended by multi
tudes of his native subjects and by
many mission workers and distin-
guished white visitors from all parts
of South Africa After a great mill
tary parade of the kings troops, Kama
within a retinue of eight thousand Be-
chuanas, attended a great thanksgiv
ing service, where a multitude of 49,
900 assembled, where official felicita-
tons were presented, and where a
younger brother of the king, speaking
for the whole nation, reviewed the
great transformation for good that has
taken place in the tribal life and Gus
toms under Kama's rule Chief among
the good results noted was the exclu-
sion of alcoholic drink from the land.
The drink evil had been well-known in
their land, and while 1t was not yet
entirely suppressed, the traffic could
no longer flourish and was made H.
legal. Kama himself made a striking
address and warned his people against
Ink as 1.-The great enemy of their
happiness anu 0oress." Thanking the
white people for their friendship and
help, he begged them - guard their
darker brothers of the hative race
from the destruction wrought through
the traffic in strong drink. Alcoholic
drink constitutes a menace of utmost
danger to its users in cold climates
and holds decidedly similar menace
for those of warm climates-whether
white or black.

The state is in no financial condi-

Their fact that there was absolutely
no need for such action, places the
responsibility for assembling that
body solely upon the shoulders of
the governor.
We have contended all along that
the interest on those bonds should
be paid, but we were willing to leave
the matter to the legislature at its
regular session. The fact that the
governor failed to do this is evidence
OF the fact that he was afraid to take
his case to that body.

Thinks Them Putty In His Hands.

Pascagoula Democrat Star.
The calling of the old Legislature
into session at this time, so short a
time before the converting of the new
legislature, can only be construed as
compliment or an insult to the lew
legislature. The opinion prevails
that the correct Interpretation is
that the action of the governor is
decided compliment to the members
of the new legislature and a direct
insult to the present legislature.
The governor could not have made it
palmer, had he stipulated the fact in
his call, that the new legislature is
recognized by him to be made up of
men of independent thought and ac-
ton whom he can not control, and
that in his opinion at least, the pres
emit legislature must be putty in his
hands. Whether the pre- sent leg,s-
lators will rest content to be thus
stigmatized and prove the correo t.
ness of the governor insinuation re-
mains to be seen. 1t IS not believe d

The action of Governor Noel in cal

is being much criticized. Without
questioning the Importance Of finally
settling the accrued interest matter,
and of making the necessary appro-
priation for the payment of the State
militia used at McComb City, we be-
lieve the calling of an extra session
was most inexpedlent with factional
feeling as high as it is a present. We
are inclined to believe that Jolly

hope that members of the Legislature
will act upon their Judgment rather

Young Men Of The South Making Good.

While the South will give welcome
to the men of other sections who
come within her borders to grow up
with the South by bringing energy
and enthusiasm and money, though
the latter is not absolutely necessary
it is to the native young man of the
South who must be looked to bring
the South to it's full development and
put her in the place where she b.
longs: to the front.
Accustomed as has the young man
OF the South has, in the past,
been to look forward to an inferior
race to do the hard manual labor
there was little to incite the South
ern young nan to labor and natural
ly enough the young Southerner
found himself left, being left ia tie
rear OF the march of progress, be-
cause he depended upon others to do
the hard work
This fact, in the course of time, a.
reused the pride of the boy of the
South and, his pride once aroused,
he set to studying out how TO get his
section again in the front.
| did not require much thinking
to determine the Southern boy upon
IL course of action after he had
concluded that action was necessary.
He quickly fathomed the problem, de-
terminlng that work alone would be-
necessary in order to be master of
his own future. And to work he
went. At the present time the youth
OF the South may be found hard It
work IN the agricultural schools and
colleges, in corn and other crop con-
tests in the counting room of bust
ness houses, behind counters in the
stores, anywhere and everywhere
where progress is being made.
The blood of the South runs in the
veins of the youth of the South, they
are in the saddle and they will make
good.

EVIL EFFECTS OF DRINKING
For the Want of Little SeIf-Sacrifice
the Moderate Drinker Imposes
Tax on His Fellow Men,

A recent address given by Sir Vic
tor Horsely, the eminent English ply
sician, contains some remarks on the
subject of alcoholic drinking which are
worthy of general consideration: "The
moral conduct of future citizens" he
states, begins in the home. If we
consider the things that are done to
degrade human life we are brought
back to the question of alcohol
"Self-sacrifice in regard to the So
called Injuries of life begins, as a
rule, with a man giving up alcohol. So
far as l am concerned, It seems an
incredibly small sacrifice to make, but
1t is not so to many people, The in.
dividual who considers honestly what
Is his duty toward his fellow countr-.
men must consider this matter FRI
two totally different points of vic
He must consider the duty to ma
himself as fit as possible for his wcvl
in the country He must consider ii Q
children. The very question of sick
insurance now being dealt with by
the government, however remote it
may seem to you, is governed by the
question of self-sacrifice, for 1t has
clearly been shown that the proper
ton of sickness among so-called mod
crate drinkers is greater than among
abstainers. For the want of little
self-sacrifice the moderate drinker i'm
poses taxes on his fellow men. Only
a few days ago an old, much-loved
teacher of my own, Sir A. Pearce
Gould, showed that cancer was a dis
ease which attacked those who took
alcohol twice as frequently as those
who do not. Every day we have evil
1ence of this sort brought before us,
showing that total abstinence stands
irst as a salient element in the max.
ng of the nation"

This paper2 sometime since wrote
itself down as believing that Gov
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, was
likely to PROVE the most formidable
candidate for. the Democratic nomi-
nation for President and as time
slips off rather than seeing anything
to con trary this belief we note that
numbers of the Big Guns in the par
ty are espousing Wilson's candidacy
for such nomination, while some Of
the lesser lights give off constant
ly diminishing effuigence in the po-
lltical sky. AS we stated in that
connection bef.re, we now repeat:
the Democrats should not fall into
the error so disastrous to the past,
of falling out with one another about
whom the party S standard bearer is
to be, but should center and settle
upon an acceptable man who has
qualities and reputation sufficient to
appeal to the country in these trou-
bled times and thus connect with the
opportunity and land a Democratic
