by the shouts or the silence of the
crowds that surrounded the aforesaid
newspaper Office as the returns of the
fights were announced. Of course the
crowds were made up almost entirely
of men of the complexion of Jeffreys
and Flynn, and they were mighty poor
loosers. Had they been genuine
sportsmen they would have cheered
the winner of the coveted title, "the
best man in the world" but they were
as silent as clans when Johnson won.
We were away up on the 5th floor, but
their silence reached us and was music
to our ears, for it told us that as Burns
says, "A mans man for a. that and
a that even if he is black.

Two years ago Champion Jack John
son celebrated the 18th Of July by lick
ing Jim Jeffreys, and he mad another
celebration last Thursday by doing the
same thing to Jim Flynn. He had
licked Flynn once before and he ought
to have known better. We DO not
care a rap for Jack Johnson and abhor
pugilism, but it is pleasing to know
that in the manly art of self-defense,"
as they used to designate it, as we'll as
in many other lines, a mans ability
cannot be absolutely determined by
the color of his skin. Our sanctum

daily newspaper and on the occasion
of the two victories of Johnson we
could tell Of the progress of the fights

SAUCE FOR THE GANDER, SAUCE
FOR THE GOOSE.

Mrs. Mary Dubal of Birmingham, N.
Y, is believed to be the first suffra-
gist in the United States to be given a
penitentiary sentence for husband
beating. She was arrested on a war
want obtained by Mr. Dubal, who COM
planned that in fit of rage she gave
him a sound beating. City Judge Al
bert Hotchkiss declared that if wom-
en- desired mems prerogatives, they
should also have mems punishments.
He always dealt severely with wife
heaters, he said, and accordingly SEN
fenced her to three months in the
penitentiary. Now, ladies, will you be
good?

COTTON GROWERS
FIGHT BOIL WEEvIL
MISSISSIPPI FARMERS ARE NOW
PURCHASING POISONS,
VIII Be Fully Prepared for the Battle
and Hope to Greatly Reduce the
Ravages of the Dreaded En-.
envy of the Cotton Crop.

Jaekson.-Spurred to action by the
special bulletin issued by DR.. r. W. Har-
ned, state entomologist, stating that the
dreaded army worm has appeared in cot
ton fields in many counties, the farmers
OF Mississippi are preparing to wage
battle on the insect, and orders are be-
ing placed for large quantities of paris
green and arsenate OF lead, to be used in
poisoning the pest.
In many counties in this state last
year the ravages Of the army worm were
lar more disastrous than the work OF
the boil weevil. By stripping the plant
OF the leaves during the month of Aug
ust they destroyed all prospects of 9
top crop, and thus greatly shortened tn,
yield, as early autumn weather was idea
for a top crop.
DR.. Harmed is distributing his specia
bulletin in every county in the state
giving farmers explicit instructions OF
methods Of fighting the army worm, an,
he especially emphasizes the importanc
Of getting an early start.
Carload after carload of paris gree
and ~arsenate of lead will be rolling int
the state within the next week, and tn
farmers are expected to IN thei
attack with the first appearance Of tn
insect.

to much in this world, and b VIII

her love will be pure and true. Hap

Scottish Dish.

The huckleberry, or w~hortleperry.
or bilberry, has always been Wen
known. The Scots eat them with
milk. as we do, but they also make q
Jelly out of them, which is favored
with whisky.
C~ranberries can be found all over
the world where there Is marshy land,
but those of the United States are
considered the best and are exported
in great numbers to Europe.
The mulberry was cultivated by me
ancients and has played a more i'm
portant part In literature than any
other berry. 1t Is mentioned several
times in the Bible, while Ovid speaks
of it in his famous tale Of "Pyramus
and Thisbe."
The mulberry was brought from
Persia and the Romans much pre-
ferred 1t to any other fruit. 1t did not
reach England until 154S. and the
trees planted at Sion House during
the same year are still alive. James
I. of England was exceedingly fond Of
the berry and caused large quantities
Of the bushes to be planted IN all the
grounds Of the royal palaces.

NEW LAW.
Being Ignored by Lumbermen of South
Mississippi.


Jacksonville first test of Mississippi's
new ten-hour law, applicable to labor
employed in manufacturing industries,
has developed more quickly than eX-
pected. The j. J. Newman Lumber Com
pany, one of the largest concerns in
South Mississippi, has been indicted and
convicted for non-observance of the new
statute, and notice of appeal to the SUI
preme court has been given.
The lumber manufacturers in the
southern part of the state are paying
no attention whatever to the ten-hour
statute, having been advised by Their
attorneys that the measure is clearly
unconstitutional, and the Newman case
originating in the circuit court OF Pear
River county, is the first attempted ell
forcement.
A few of the smaller plants have Gu
down to the ten-hour basis, and made {
corresponding reduction in the wages o
