the time is ripe for its destruction.
This must be two-fold:
The first part is the destruction or
the big evil---and the big evil Is a
gigantic. 'sure-thing' gambling device
by which the American people are
annually robbed Of between two and

is---and must be, TO be effective

STEPS TAKEN FOR
CEMETERY ASSN.
Meeting at Court House Addressed by
Dr. Donald and Rev. |. p.
Trotter.

In response to the call for a meet
ing at the Court house at p. m. Fri
day, few ladies and gentlemen as
sembled at the time appointed, for the
purpose of discussing plans for a
Cemetery Association. DR.. j. D. Don
aid and DR.. l. P. Trotter came by re-
quest of the ladies to make sugges.
lions and to otherwise encourage the
work.
While no formal organization was
had Mrs. L. M. Williams, who has
been quite active in the work of try
ing to promote the organization, was
chairman of the meeting. DR.. Trotter
said informally that there is certainly
felt need for such an association,
and thoroughly endorsed the sugges-
ton that such a work will prove to be
purely a labor of love. That 1t must
depend for success on an executive
committee composed largely of the Of
ficers selected; that these must come
from among those ladies who have
patience for detail, and they must
be willing to work on, with only a
limited amount of public cooperation
back of them.
Dr. Donald felt sure that by pa
tience and persistence an association
can be organized that will be a credit
to the community. He too endorsed
the idea that such work must depend
upon the fidelity of few choice self
sacrificing spirits but these will be
Forthcoming when a start has been
made. He thought, owing to the
fact that so many were interested in
the closing exercises of the High
School last night, that much larger
number can be assembled at another
meeting. On DR.. Donald's suggestion
It was decided that when the meeting

SHARP ADVANCE
IN PAPER PRICES
Increase In Prices Felt In All Lines
OF The Trade, Especially
Printing.

Jackson, Miss, June 1.-The month
of May has witnessed sudden and
sharp advance in the price of paper of
all classes. 1t had radically affected
the cost of printing, and will also
affect publishers to a certain extent,
in some cases forcing them to a new
basis of the subscription prices.
The Graham Paper Company, the
Clements Paper Co., the Louisville
Paper Co., the Palmer Paper Co., the
Butler Paper Co. in fact every jobber
supplying printers and publishers in
Mississippi, have advised the trade of
the withdrawal of all former prices
and the immediate advancement, with
out further notice of prices, and with
the further information that these
prices are not guaranteed for any
| length of time.
The whole paper situation is in a
decided unsettled condition, in order
to protect themselves, printers and
| puDllS1erS Will necessarily nave u
advance their prices at once.
| The causes that have led up to these
advances have been the increased cost
of labor and the fact that all mills
have been running heretofore on the
two-four system; that is all papel
mills run continuously for twentyfoul
hours and have heretofore operated b!
two sets of hands working twelve
hours each. This system has beef
supplanted by the three-tour system o
three sets of hands working eigh
hours each. In New England mill
this change of hours has been brough
about by state laws.
Further there has been a sharp in
crease in raw material because al
paper stock including wood, pulp an
chemicals, are now controlled entirel
by the trusts. Further advances wer
caused by the adoption of new trad
customs by the mills. The range c
increase on the prices of papers ar
from 10 to 30 per cent, according t
the grade or the quality,
