Prospects Good.

Straws show the direction of the
wind. The number of buyers in New
York the last two months has been
large enough to include big field of
straws, all leaning in the direction of
prosperity. Buyers have to be shrewd
Judges of coming business conditions,
or else they will find their stores un-
derstocked for good business, or over
stocked for poor. In either case they
would soon cease to be buyers. All of
the New York hotels patronized by
them say they never before saw such
an influx of buyers for different kinds
of business in all parts of the country.
Every one reports business improving
and the improvement expected to con-
tnue. So they are stocking up their
home stores with goods to sell to the
people, the plain people, the working
people, the ones who make big stores
possible throughout the land. That
looks as if the pay envelope would be
sizeable enough this fall and winter,
whatever campaign orators may
threaten about the dinner pail-Brodk-
lyn Times.

Mississippi Sells Stock.

Says the Aberdeen Examiner: As an
evidence that the Examiner is not build
ing air castles in its livestock claims
for Mississippi, and that its aver
ments in debates with contemporary
writers are we'll sustained by the facts,
is shown by the following report from
the National Stock Yards, telegraphed
to the Mobile Register of Sept. Z:
mississippi furnished st. Louis g.
$50 head of cattle during August this
year, compared to 1927 head the same
month last year. Louisiana sent 953
compared to $50 the same month year
ago. Alabama sent in 270 compared to
1T year ago; Arkansas sent in 19, ,849
compared to last August. Mississippi
has furnished st. Louis Is, 260 head of
cattle this year, gain of $3.50; Ala
bama 927 compfred to 877 last year
Georgia furnished AZ head of cattle this
year and none last; Louisiana furnished
| 2, 168 head this year, compared to 2,l24
last year.
"The era of feed cattle that has
brought so much wealth to the middle
western states is dawning for the Soutl
and in a few years there will be mill
ions of dollars sent from here to South
ern cattle and hog feeders"
This report only covers the st. Loui
market, whereas Chicago packers have
drawn heavily upon US, while New Or
leans and Mobile, the only two promi
nent markets to which cattle from tn,
tick-quarantined counties can be ship
ped, have drawn on Mississippi to
greater extent than all the western
packers.

Loan Sharks.

Nowhere probably in all the United
States is the law prohibiting the loan
shark trade more flagrantly and ex-
tensively violated than in Vicksburg
and other Southern cities. Nowhere is
the law more rigid or clearer in its
terms than in the Mississippi code.
There is no avenue of escape for the
loan shark-when charged, the record
he is required to keep and exhibit on
demand of the proper officials, con-
victs him. In Greenyille, where public
spirited members of the bar called them
down, they surrendered at discretion.
Inspired by experience of loan shark
robberies, one citizen of Vicksburg has
authorized the statement that he will
subscribe $5U toward fund fol. break
ing up the outrageous wrong, for en-
ployment of an attorney to bring suits
for recovery of many extortions from
the usurers, as the officials in Philadel,
phia are doing. There are tens OF
thousands of dollars that should be re-
covered under the code. .-Vicksburg

Several games of hearts were played
and the guests were hidden to enter the

large wedding cake, decorated with
candies and r0sebuds, hid the wedding
suggestive favors tied to pink ribbons
which led to heart-sealed envelopes
placed around the edge of the table for
each of the guests. Upon opening
them, card bearing the following an,

Aha! Unconstitutional.

There is at least one clause in the
new commission government law which
is unconstitutional, and it will be so de-
cided if it ever comes before the higher
courts for review. We refer to the
section which provides three-year res
idence as a qualification for those who
hold the offices of mayor and commits
sioner. The constitution of Mississippi
requires a two-year residence within
the state and one year in the county
and precinct, and the legislature had
no right to go behind the constitution.

Hiding Her Wounds.
From N. o. Times-Democrat.) }

History is full of captivating stories
about the stricken hero who hides his
wounds and pursues his task with cheer
full face and courageous heart. Shat
tered San Francisco has shown this
very spirit, and who can help admiring
her for the cleverness with which she
is obliterating her wounds?
Stricken by disaster which not only
razed the built city, but which-more
serious matter-tended to destroy con-
tidence in the very foundation OF things,
the people of San Francisco grasped
Immediately at every structural hope

able feeling of large assembly. Well,
from the start, the reconstructors of
San Francisco seem to have had this
idea in mind and building operations
have been carried on where they would
best round out the city. Hills have
been crowned with ir.posing structures
and avenues have had their new build
ings so spaced that deep vistas of i'm
posing architecture open to the eye on
all sides.
Enter the city, and the first impress
sion is that the burned area is but a
memory. If you are but casual OBJ
server, this idea may continue, but stop
for a moment to consider, There is a
great space between this office building
and that department store. covered by

Cooperation. Not Conflict.
(From the News-Scimitar. }

1t is something new under the sun to
see large shipper sending out circu-
lar to his fellow shippers asking shem
to assist the railroads in moving freight,
and showing how this can be done. 1t
is something new to see such spirit of
cooperation existing between the rail-
road and the shipping public 1t shows
a commendable growth and clarified
insight into the business of both par
ties. In times past the railroad official
was gruff, snappish, morose and set on
a hair-trigger of resentment against
anyone who would ask him a question.
Or he remained sulkily silent enveloped
in the taciturnity of stold ignorance.
Time was when the shipper or other
railroad patron had nothing but kicks
and abuse for the railroads and their
representatives. There was war pend
ing between them, and each considered
u This Ds"ur Unhappy '1 ,:,Vs CO. chaacery cle,k

intelligent and sensible basis has been
reached. The railroad can help the
shipper and the shipper can help the
railroad, and the Chicago shipper ad-
monishes his brother shippers, especi-
ally during the time when there is a
shortness and impending car famine,
thus: keep the cars moving. Why!
Look at the crops. Anticipate youl
wants. Place your orders while the
cars last. Load cars as soon as posi-.
BILE after they have been placed. Loac
all cars to as near capacity as possible
Cars are built for transportation anc
not for storage. If conditions were nor
NAL we would have car shortage il
October. But the crops are abnormal. ,
This shipper reminds his brother ship
pers that we are threatened with al
enormous car shortage, and that co
operation with the railroads is the par
of wisdom. He says: LET us hell
the railroads; they will help US witt
cars. Help keep the wheels moving.
This is the proper spirit, and its man
Hesitation is most commendable. Ev
cry man is cooperating with ever

that cooperation is rendered less eff
fective by the unfortunate fact that h
does not know it, and imagines that h

Lesson of the Primaries.

The lesson from the primary election
in this state recently is an important
one, as indicating the attitude of public
opinion toward public men in office and
as suggesting new line of argument
for the candidate for high position. The
time was when plausible plea for an
incumbent of office and the support of
few influential politicians were all
that was necessary to keep him there;
the people did not bother much about
his record. The elections last Tuesday
bore evidence that good record was
the most appealing and convincing ar
gument that candidate for office coulc
address to his constituents; and that is
hopeful sign of political progrese anc
growth. Meridian Dispatch.
