MOST DECIDEDLY NOT.
Dear Miss FairfaX:

Dear Miss Fairfax
| am engaged to young man Of
IS, but who was divorced four years
ago.
The thought that he has pre-
viously been married is constantly
with me, and 1T times makes me
more than unhappy
DO you think it wise to marry
him under these conditions?
UNHAPPY.
If you have the slightest doubt OF
you should end the en-
gagement at once. The divorce may
not be to his discredit entirely, but if j.
causes you unhappiness you must not
consider marriage to him for a mo-
nent.

ARMY WORM IS BUSY
HAS CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAM
AGE IN SOME COUNTIES
Crop, as a Whole, Has Not Been Bet
tered by the Weather During the
Past Week, as the Cool Nights
Have Caused Shedding.

Jackson.-Reports from several u
ties in the lower section of the delta
state that the army worm has been get
ting in its work in the cotton fields dur
ing the past two weeks, and considerable
damage to the crops has been inflicted.
In a majority of the infested districts,
however, the cotton growers were pre-
pared for the pest, and at its first APP
pearance arsenate of lead and paris green
were freely used. As a result much of
the crop in the danger zone has been
saved, and the destruction from this
cause will be far less than last year.
The army worm has not been found in
any of the counties in the northern por-
tion of the delta.
Picking has made satisfactory progress
during the past week. Farmers state,
however, that the weather has been rath'
er u~nfavorable, cool nights have caused
considerable shedding, and, on the whole,
the crop has not made any progress dur
ing the week.
Practically all of the oil mills in the
state have started their seasons run,
and some of the congresses are in op'
Grafton. There has been very little
movement of the crop to seaboarl OF
the eastern mills thus far.

ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL
CHANCELLOR WHITMAN RENDERS
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Legislature Without Power to Leave It
Optional With Voters of Counties
to Retain or Abolish Office
of County Attorney.

Jacksonville legislative act provid'
ing for submission to a vote of the peo-
pie at the November election the question
OF whether the office of county attorney
shall be maintained or abolished is UNI
constitutional, according to a decision
rendered by Chancellor Sam Whitman,
Jr., in the ehancery court of Rarkm
county.
The case will be taken Immediately to
the supreme court on appeal and made
9 preference cause on the civil docket Tor
the middle district when that tribunal
convenes next month.
Owing to the Importance of the ques-
ton involved, and the fact that it in
wolves the election to be held in Novem-
Der, it is believed that the supreme court
will give it an immediate hearing, as
urged by the attorneys.
Chancellor Whitman held that the
legislative act is in violation of section
80 OF the constitution, in that it is an
attempt by the legislature to delegate a
legislative power to the people. In brief,
the lawmakers sought to make it option
al with the voters in each county as to
whether the office of county attorney
shall continue in existence. The decision
OF the chancellor means that the legisla-
ture must either abolish the office or
continue the act creating the office in
force, and no optional power can be dele
gated to the voters of the various coun-
ties.
Attorneys for the election commissions
ers endeavored to make the point that
the suit was improperly brought, and
that a taxpayer has no right to institute
legislation of this character. This con.
tention was also overruled.

PROTECTION; HOW IT WORKS
Rhode island, a Tarlff-Made State, az
Described BY Miss Ida M.
Tarbeli.

THE doctrine of protection Is worth
looking at as 1t works." declared Gov
ernor Wilson at Easton, Pa, the other
day. He added. in characteristic
phrase:
Il haven't tiny reverence for any
economic doctrine whatever-except
az it works."
How does the Aldrich doctrine Of
protection" work?
Ida M. Tarbell is admittedly n Of
the foremost tariff experts who have
taken sides with the people In the
tariff controversy. She is q sober.
thoughtful student and writer, whose
conclusions, though often annoying to
some highly-placed gentlemen, have
almost invariably been found correct.
Here is what Miss Tarbell says of
that "tariff-made state" Rhode Island:
This, then, is high projections
most perfect work-a state of half
million people, turning out an annual
product worth $751;, O00. 900; the lab
orers in the chief industry u~nderpaid,
unstable, and bent with disease; the
average employers rich, self-satisfed,
and as Indifferent to social obligation
as SO many robber barons. 1t is an
industrial oligarchy made by a ma
tons %benflcence, under the mistaken
notion that it was working out a labor's
paradise. . It Is feudalism, and
not even benevolent feudalism."
No one can question the Justice OF
Governor Wilson's statement, that
economic doctrines are to be judged
by their works.
BY their fruits ye shall know them.
The fruits Of the Aldrich tariff are
bloated fortunes, corrupted politics,
enhanced cost Of living.

miscarry, he win be a millionaire when
he retires from the executive Office a

1t is known that Gov. Brewer has a

that is the explanation of his absence
from the office during the past three
weeks. AS to his whereabouts, absolute

dealer in Greenwood, that the value OF
lands in the Yazoo-Mississippi delta

twenty per cent. per year for the next
