Dawson Chickering'S.

Cheraw, Miss, Jan. 23rd. 1911.--
Mr.. Editor;-The last issue of the
Herald reached me two days since
and the contents of its columns were
eagerly deyoured by me.
The weather still continues quite
Spring like, and one can almost i'm
agine he can hear the Turtle Dove
cooling and making love to it's mate,
and the Bundle Bee buZzing around
the house top.
You will no doubt perceive | have
became very romantic. Romanticism
lis brief thought for humanism, in
which the free world of the spirit,
life's enthusiasm, the poets love for
the great world of beautiful things
are held in suspension by Ideals
formed in obedience to laws that
regulate the being of humanity at
large
In the best humanistic art, we find
individual art has become humanized
that is the wealth or the free indi
viduality has yielded to the common
wealth of huma nifty.
Do you know Mr.. Editor some fell
lows act as though they were afraid
to sneeze for fear of blowing their
brains out, but not SO with Dawson,
he never gives this thoughtas he
has been sneezing for some years
and knows he has no brains to blow
out, he has gas alright.
] tiud no greater misfortune could
befall man than to be dead to the
beauty of his surroundings, aud Daw-
son is alive to his gas.
Most Of us are extremely wise when
it comes toknowing what other people
ought to do. and many refo. mers
would go to shoot gophers with a
brass pand.
The wise q don't mean mel know
better than to try to live on the spice
of life, | will take little bacon to try
to live on spice is very nice, but it
does not help hungry fellow a bit.
They tell me man was intended to be
active, and he is never so happy as
when he is So it is the hazy and idle
person who is most miserable. Yes
the next thing people will be saying
it is Dawson gas that makes him
active, he has SO much it puts buck
leberry move on him, and persim-
mon sufHc. .]'t
The Pickwick sports seem to be very
fond of mule hide when going to Wis
it the ladies; guess they know when
arriving at their destination the
mule will announce their arrival, ly
one continuous braying, and the mu-
sic of a mules voice can be distinctly
heard.
On Saturday night the follhwlng
members of the Pickwick sports band
consisting of R. G. Smith Secty., land
high knocker, Pres. Chas. w. Green,
Treas. Lee Green, T. b. Mcleod, and
Percy Reagan, were guests at the
hospitabe home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Willie Fortemberny's. The enter
t4inment consisted of an Apron
party. All enjoyed ID very pleasant
evening, aud on leaving voted Mr..
and Mrs. Fortemberny as untiring
in their efforts to entertain their
guests.

Er!tish TITLES Claimed by FOREIGNER,

An interesting parallel in the
peerage of Scotland to the Barony
of .Faiffax-the claim to which has
just been-decided, is the Newburgh
earldom, the holders of which have
for more than century been Italian
mobiles. In 1857 Cecilia, grand
daughter of Charlotte Maria, Coun-
tess of Newburgh, became the wife
of Benedict, Prince Giustiniani, and
in 1893 her son Vincent became de
jure the sixth Earl, although he did
not claim the title.- Since that time
the Scottish peerage which was con-
firmed by the House of Lords to Vim
cents daughter has been distinctly
foreign and quite dissociated from
this country. On the death of the
third Baron Gardner the claimant to
the title was one Alan Hyde Gardner,
the son of Mohammedan Princess
and the husband of an Indian wife.

The Ole Woman Said Must Come.
Starksville News.

Starksville News.
Two of our subscribers paid up a
few days ago and thought to econo-
mize by cutting off the News, but
both are back now. Both said that
their wives said they were used to
reading the News and could not do
without it. This is very gratifying
to the news. Women have got more
sense than men anyway. The way
to economize, do away with a fewer
nips, less tobacco, fewer cigars, and
cigarettes. etc.

The Power of The Press.

American Press, Chicago.
Does the average editor realize the
power he wields and the responsible
ity that accompanies the possession
OF this power? He is not only pur-
veyor of news, but is in sense, a
teacher and an administrator, Tor he
helps to form public opinion, which
is the actual sovereign of the notion.
In some degree the press has sup
planted the author of books, the TO-
rum and platform, the pulpit and
even the college, or, rather, it has
supplemented all these and has be-
come an agency more powerful than
any one of them taken singly. 1t
gives to the people literature, iLtor
nation, instruction and religion.
Perhaps it does not convey any Cr
these in their highest or most finish
ed forms, yet its message is all tEc
more influential because of it's popu
lar character.
There is scarcely an abuse in IT,,
land that could stand if the unitCG
press assailed it. There is hardly
reform that could not be broug
about ii the newspapers as whole
supported it. The editor thus has il
in his power to become at once Il
teacher, a preacher and a reformer
Perhaps it Is better if he is not too
obtruslvely any of these things. Y.t
whether he will or not, he is all OF
them to some degree il he lives up to
his part as an editor.

n Some ordinances have recently
been adopted by the Town of Moss
Point that should be adopted by ev-
cry town in the State. In fact those
ordinances carry within them a
scheme of everyday population tab
bing that the Herald has advocated
for several years and endeavors in so
far as we can gather the data, to sup
ply,Ethat shouldbe lawfully required
to be repoRted at every county-seat,
/. e.. vital statistics. We have spe-
cif:ally editorialized to this effect in
days agone. The ordinances to which
we refer passed by the town lying
at the Mouth of the rivers on whose
banks our village is nestled, is that
of providing for a scheme to secure
a report of all deaths and births that
occur in the corporate limits of that
little city, and the keeping of per-
manent record of them by the city
clerk in the archives of the town.
The spirit of the present Mississippi
Board of Health is progressive and
to their active agitation along these
lines the State owes much of the leo
islatlon of this nature being put into
force. May the day rapidly hasten
when a record will be kept in every
county of the state of each birth and
marriage. We have gone so far as
to keep UP with the marriages. These
are but step further, and has been
kept in England for centuries and
ofttimes serves history excelently in
looking up some family data.
