Notice.

The government a few days ago
had us to swear to our subscription
list and state the number Of papers
that we were sending to subscribers
who were over a year in arrears.
We will send THREE more papers to
all our subscribers who are in arrears.
We would like to credit you, tor we
firmly believe that there is no one
on our list who would take the
paper and refuse to pay for it after
we had trusted them, but the postal
laws forbid us to trust you over a
year, and have, as a penalty, the
revokement of the second-class pos
tai rates. This would mrke it i'm
possible for us to issue the paper.
We don't want to discontinue
your subscription, but owing to ex-
isting circumstances, we will be
compelled to do so unless you pay
up to within a year at least.
We will send you a renewal blank
stating the date Of expiration Of
your paper, and we hope to have
your renewal by return mail.

When a new enterprise is spoken
of by the newspapers there are a
number of people, instead OF assist
ing US in getting the enterprise, re-
mark that it is only a newspaper
story. Now, this is knock" OF
the worst type. The newspapers
are trying to revive business in this
town, and we want to give publicity
to everything that will tend to boost
the town, but if the citizens whose
property we are trying to enhance
in value, and the merchants whose
business we are trying to increase,
can't help us boost, then what is
the use of the papers trying it? We
will continue to do our share, and
more than our share, of the boost
| ing, but we ask the cooperation OF
the people IN our ef1ortS 10 upouhu

Has it ever occurred to you that
newspapers donate thousands OF
dollars worth of space to the up
building of a cummunlty and very
seldom ever receives thanks for. its
efforts.
Every line in paper costs the
company something, yet they will
ingly bear the expense, but is ii
right for them to bear the censure

short while along the possibilities
and the present condition of affairs
in the city. He then introduced the
speaker for the occasion, Mr.. L. {.
Irvine, who dwelt at length upon
the natural resources of Pascagoula.
He stated that any person who has
once lived on the Gulf Coast at this
point will have a tendency the rest
of his life to come back. He also
stated the immense possibilities Of
the port when the canal is COM
pleted, and urged that the city ac-
quire the control of the water front
and hold it against the monopolies
that are sure 10 come.
Mr.. Irvine was entertained at sup
per by the League, and was other
wise entertained during his Short
stay with us. He made an impres-
sion that will never be forgotten IN

So far as we know. the

could along that line, and as the
regular advertising at the dis

by contract, and the Argus has
that contract, having bid it in,
there is nothing further to say

want the county court to award
its advertising contract to the
Argus. they should bid against
the Argus and get it. We have
nothing, whatever, to say against

they are doing the best they can,

Passing of the Poorhouse.

ing abolished. 1t is time. 1t is
an institution that Should be
aboIiShrd. 1t is a dreadful re.
uindrr of tn" past LI" th"
debtors prison. it is associated
with some of the SaddcSt scenes
in the world : lat pr uaN history.
The poorhou>c WAS once re-
gudCd as r"c"Ssary. 1t has
bean the tFrme of many tragic
stories and has been the text of
many sad songs.
The poor are with us always.
They are to be found on every
hand. It is the duty of the state
to carc'fOr those who cannot care
for themselves. and the cloak of
charity should be gently spread
about all who suffer from want
and adverSity.
Methods Of providing for the
poor have changed in late years.
The time when the needy are to
be cared for in the poOrhOuSe is
near an end. There are other
ways and means now. and they
are far more practicable and con
Sidcrate. They are more effect
i've and more humane.
The aim of the Illinois law is
to provide proper support for
those who are dcpent upon the
state, but at the same time to
provide this support in a way
that does not make the reel picnt
feel the sting of charity and gives
a feeling Of confidence rather
than one Of dependency.
1t is not mandatory, but any
county in the state is free t.
adopt this plan. Six counties
have already aVailed themselves
of the privileges of the law, and
others are preparing to follow
suit. If the results are as salts
factory as it is hoped they will
be, other states will no doubt
emulate the Illinois example.
If this is done the poorhouSo
will soon be a thing Of the past.
The history of the poorhouse
in America and England is one
of the most depressing charac-
ter. It's Squalor, it's accumula-
tion of misery, its petty tyranny.
its periodical scandals, are all
sources of regret. Prison is not
so bad as many Of the poorhouSeS
of the country, and the sin and
SORROW and SlOthfulneSS are nev-
er so keenly realized as in these
institutions. The new way of
handling the poor, as proposed
in the Illinois law, makes it diff
erent. New advantages are off
erred. Poor families are to be
kept together, Poor mothers will
be pensioned, and will take care
of their children instead of hav-
ing to send them to an institution
1t costs the state and county so
much now To support every in.
mate in the poorhousc. Under
the new system the amount is
paid direct To the pauDpr and
furnishes means of self-support.
1t enables each to care for the
family AS well. 1t transforms
the pauper to "A paid employ of
