Not Paint

The worst mistake In painting Is not
p~utt1ng-of. That costs about 10 per cent
you keep your money a year and pay 10
prrcent for 1t.
Paint would have to come down 25 per
cent to make 10 per cent on the joe, for
wages do not go down.
The worst mistake is s'cheap" paint. 1t
costs from 80 per cent to 100, first cost, and
another in wear.
What a liar "cheap" Is! "Put-of" is
bad enough; 'cheap" is ten times worse.

OPPOSES MAKING ALCOHOL.
We Might as Well Use Corn and Beets
as Pine Tops.

dS E1uc AVpS.
Jackson.-When asked his views re-
garding the proposed bill now pending
before the legislature authorizing the
manufacture of ethyl alcohol in the
state of Mississippi, ex-senator John L.
Hebron said
Il am not an extremist, nor do |
permit myself to be carried away by
matters of sentiment. l realize that
the growth of the country depends very
largely upon the money side of every
proposition. But / have never reached
that degree as a money worshipper
where l would be willing to barter hap.
piness and virtue which are the fruits
of Temperance, for gold.
81 think the bill which would author
ize the manufacture of alcohol in Mis-
sissippi the most insiduous move that
the anti-prohibitionists have made. 1t
is opening the way for the ultimate
overthrow of the great work which the
prohibitionists have accomplished in Mis-
sissippi.
If you are going to manufacture
alcohol out of pine tops and sawdust
because of the waste, | see no reason
why we should not manufacture our
surplus corn, potatoes and beets into
alcohol and whiskey. One is just as
bad as the other-no better, no worse"

DIES LEAVING COURT
DEATH HALTS CELEBRATED WILL
CONTEST CASE.
Heirs Of Late Jacob Bernheimer May
Be Reconciled Following Demise Of
Principal Contestant.

Vieksburg. - Marcus Bernhemer, a
prominent insuraAcc Kan, who was con
testing the will Of las brother, Jacob
Bernhcimer, at Port Gibson, dropped
dead of heart failure when leaving the
Sourt room.
The jury in the will contest case in
which the Bernheimers were litigants
was dismissed and proceedings indefinite
~ postponed The case involves a mil
ion dollars
With the sudden and unexpected death
ut the termination of the second day of
the Bernheimer will case of Marcus Bern
heimer, the case will, for the time being
at least, be suspended, and it is said that
the family differences may in course of
time be arranged so that there will be
no further legal proceedings.
Marcus Bernheimer and the Lowen,
stein heirs OF hIobiIc were engaged in
contesting the late Jacob Bernheimer'S
will, alleging that the greater part of
the estate had been bequeather to Sid
ney Bernheimer of New York and his
sister, Mrs. Nicholas Scharff of St.
Louis. Numerous allegations were filed
in the contest, and today the contest
ants placed four witnesses ON the stand
after the jury had been empanelled be-
fore Chancellor Hicks, and the trial had
been only fairly started.
These witnesses showed in substance
that there had been an estrangeiaent be-
tween Jacob Bernheimer and the con-
testants for some years prior to his
death.
When Sidney Bernheimer heard that
his brother had been stricken he or
dered everything possible done for his
restoration. When DR.. Redus, first to
reach him, made an examination, he pro-
nounced him dead, and that death was
probably due to Bright's disease.
The Bernheimers are children of s.
Bernheimer, who died many years ago
in Port Gibson.

EDUCATING YOUNG FARMERS
FIGURES COMPILED FROM 10 AGRL.
CULTURAL HIGH SCHOOLS.
Education Being Brought Closer to the
People and the Cost Greatly Less
ened Through High School.

Jackson.-As an illustration of how
the state of Mississippi is developing
in the way of agricultural high schools
and how the education in these schools is
being cheapened in cost and attainable
for even the poorest citizens OF the
state, the following table has been pre-
pared by State Superintendent OF Educa-
ton Powers and is of great interest to
those who are interested in the cause
of education.
And, by the way, the establishment
of these educational institutions, the
agricultural high schools, has been due
more to the efforts and advocacy of
Superintendent Powers than any other
one cause or man in the state of Mis-
sissippi, for it has been a hobby with
him for many years standing and which
he is now delighted to see becoming
realized.
Following are the figures:
Mississippi now has nineteen agricul-
tural high schools i'll operation, with
seven buildings which viii be ready to
