The discussion of public problems
should be cnco Tagcd. The subject
for debate at tIc Brotherhood OF the
Congregational church next Tuesday
night is "A most practical one and GER
tainly timely. For some time we have
advocated the plan of town meetings
where we could come together and
find out what public sentiment de-
mands aud we see no reasonable ob-
lection in meeting with this Organiza.
ton for such purposes. So long as we
have no established town meeting we
ought to make use Of this opportunity
OF finding out each Others opinions.
In many respects this organization
would be better than any other for
the working out OF the best plans for
our city government because we would
be apt to be less resentful, more chari-
table aud more reasonable II we carr
led on our conferences under the
shadow of the church.
The Lincoln Douglass debates rend-
cred untold benefit to our nation ut a
critical period OF its history. These
debates spread information far and
wide. They reached the people and
the people formed their own cOnclus-
clusion, and acted accordingly. When
the people have the facts presented to
them they may be trusted to determine
line of action that will result in the
most good to the most people. The
trouble which we have experienced in
the past has been that we had no
means of knowing all the facts. Some
make it "A practice To inform themsel-
vcS but all do not have the time To de-
voc to every matter that COMES up
wherein the power Of choice is to be
used and consequently the result has
ocru constant turmoil and Disagree
ment. Ia II public meeting parti2ans
vii be more careful of Their state
mruts than they are In their confer
ruccS on the streets hence the truth Is
more apt to be presented.

The plan of asking our business and
American history before the high
school is n most praisworthy one. Its
benefits are twofold. First the pupils
themselves gain a large amount OF
useful infOrrna ton, such As would take
them years OF research to find, and at
the same time they receive the judg-
ment of more mature minds which
goes a long way to develop their own
investigative powers. The men are
the gamers because they take al add.
ed interest In school affairs and feel
that they have an active part In edu.
eating our future citizens.

NOXUBEE'S 1912 COTTON
CROP.

The cotton production Of NOxu'
bee county this year is estimated
at 1900 bales against $4,000
in 1911 and $4,000 in 1910. The
average crop has always been eStl'
mated at about %, 900.
Several causes operated to dimin'
ish the yield this year. A very
wet Spring delayed planting from
four to six weeks, nor was the sea-
son following favorable to rapid
maturing. The frost killed many
young green bolls. In addition
there was some reduction In acre
age, about ten per cent.
The army worm and boil weevil
did considerable damage, though
the weevil became active too late
to hurt greatly the yield. 1t Is In
the county now, however, in great
numbers and widely spread, and
next year will get In It's destruc'
tive work.
This county will suffer from its
ravages much less than many
Others. Diversified farming has
already been largely practiced here
and the raising of hay for sale and
home consumption by a vastly
greater number of fine cattle, and
the raising of more corn for hogs,
will in a large measure supplant
the raising of cotton. 1t is au-
thoritatively stated that the cot
ton acreage of Noxubee will be re
duced by from 33 to so per cent
in 1913.
The establishment of a creamery
in Macon just now, which is prom
Used, will be a very fortunate thing
at this juncture.
