WEEVILS DIsAPPEAR

Mr.. c. NJ. Higdon, the assistant
cashier of the Brookhaven Bank q
Trust Co., has just returned from
a trip through south west Texas.
As this is the section Of the coun-
try where the boil weevils firrtap-
peared, Mr.. Higdon took occasion
to visit some Of the farms and in
vestigate their history. He was
told that they completely destroy
ed the cotton crops there for two or
three years and gradually began
to disappear, and at this time very
few are to be found; so few in fact
that the farmers disregard them
altogether, and, from present pros
poets that state will produce more
cotton this year than she has for
many years.-Leader.

A Tempest in a Tea Pot.

We seriously doubt if any thing
which ever happened in the world
since the crime Of '73 has stirred
up such a tempest in a tea pot as
the perfectly innocent little remark
that the Hon. Percy E. Quin hap
pened to make at Fayette the 9TH
er day about some newspapers be-
ing subsidized. Now, our esteem
ed cotemporary, the Fayette Chron
icle, says in plain words that the
Hon. Quin did not directly charge
that these papers are subsidized, "
referring to the two Natchez pa
pers, the Fayette Chronicle, and
the Jackson Evening News, but
the esteemed brother complains
that the remark Of the distinguish
ed gentleman left an uncomforta-
BILE inference-a sort of bad taste
in his mouth as it were.
OF course, it is a very serious af-
front for any one to intimate or ev
en- remotely insinuate that news
paper is subsidized or that its edi-
tor is crooked, but, undoubtedly,
some Of us are a little too thin
skinned on these points and Jump
to the conclusion that a man is
trying to romp on US when in fact
he is not, Be we as pure as snow,
as chaste as ice (which we are not)
still, the poet says, we can not es-
cape calumny, and we must not be
always on the lookout or trying to
feel afronted.
A little calm consideration would
have convinced ths brethren that a
man Of the well-known eo4serya-
tive character Of Hon. Percy E.
Quin would never be guilty Of max
ing a charge against any man or
newspaper without positive proof
or tangible evidence, and, as the
Chronicle man was on the spot,
and admits that no charge was
made, we are at a loss to realize
the necessity for the fire rockets
and hurrah tactics
From private adgices from the
seat Of war, we are now inciiiiaed 70
think that the real umbrage twas
took" when that fierce crowd of
Fayette Democrats almost tore
down the house in their riotous
demonstration Of love and admira-
ton for the peoples candidate, ,and

rem for nursing o sore oe.-Mc-

AS TO THE POST OF DUTY

We remember one faithful and
always useful congressman iron
Mississippi who insisted upon re-
naming at his post Of duty when
other able men were in the field
eontending for his scalp, relying
as a patriot upon the patriotism
of his constituents to sustain hls
claims while absent in their inter
est; and we remember that TINS
faith and confidence we're mlsplae
ed, and that he was defeated 10y a.
fraction of a vote for denomination
when the convention assembled.
Aberdeen Examiner,
Like the boy who stood ON the
burning deck, the congressman
who remains III Washington while
his fences are being scaled and
preached by the men who want hs
Job ismagnifcent butnotpractlcaL
The absence, which We are told by
the poet even "conQuers love" is
misconstrued by the average con-
stituent into Indifference to his I'M
portance and vote. This is doubly
true under the primary For a
congressman to stay at his post
while it is being run off is equlva-
lent to letting it go by default, and
is a well understood consequence
by the Pecksnifiiap patriot who
holds up his hands aghast that he
is not allowed a walk over on this
sham point of political etLics. The
recent experience of Sen. Bourne,
one of the most progressive mem
bers, is a case in point. Relying
as a patriot on the patriotism Of
his constituents" he was beaten
in the Oregon primaries by a hus.
ting hardware spell-binder
The instance to which the Fix.
aminer refers is well remembered
by The Herald. Seldom has there
been a more patriotic exhibition oI
devotion to a constituency, deeply
interested then in a pending meas
ure in which every vote counted
But the custom is the other way
On that very occasion another
faithful and useful congressman
the late Ethel Barksdale came tC
meet an aspirant for his seat, as
friends and supporters wished.a
We could cite other instances o
like course by the ablest and mos
patriotic of our senator's and rep
resentatives of the past. 1t is on
| ly in this day of the ascendancy o
primary selections and progres
sive politics, that a capable, faith
full representative is carped at TO
coming home to defend his seat
and his Stewardship, and it is
tolerably safe presumption that
} candidate who pitches his claim
on working up a prejudice on sucl
grounds is simply seeking to sati

news MS tAf4Ge1ru IL 4lA1sA AAlho- /
cal condemnation Of Hon. Percy f /
Quin, candidate for Congress in |
the Seventh Congressional District
that gentleman and his friends may
safely assume that his nomination
is practically assured.
The jackson News sedulously re
trains from championing the cause
Of any man whose candidacy is
based on the interests Of the plain
people, so that its opposition may
be taken as proof positive that the
individual who does not meet with
its approval is the man whom the
people may safely elect whenever
he aspires to Office
But the cause Of the Jackson
News antagonism to Mr.. Quin is
ground fol- some mirth. Let US
state it BRIEFLY;
In his campaign speeches, Mr..
Quin lays stress on the fact that
the metropolitan press of the cOun
try is largely subsidized, or con-
trolled by Big Business. That is
to say, some of the large newspa-
pers-thOse OF nationwide clrcula
tion-are potently influenced in
their editorial utterances either by
the out-and-out ownership Of a big
business organization or by the ad
vertising patronage accorded it by
the Powers that Prey on the Peo-
pie. Thus, it has been the Obvl-
Gus policy Of the Predatory Inter
ests to control in one way or an
other, as far as possible, the big
newspapers of the country, and it
is a fact that relatively very few Of
them are absolutely independent
and fearless in the editorial expires
sion of opinion or the publication
of uncolored news items.
Leaving the discussion OF nation
al questions and coming down to
particular reference to his own can
didacy, Mr.. Quin is fair enough tC
state that there are four MississiE
pi newspapers -four only which
are openly opposing him, to wit
The Natchez Democrat, the Match
ez News, the Fayette Chronicle
and the Jackson Daily News:
This leads the Fayette Chronicle
to rise in more or less righteous
wrath and proclaim to an anxious
world that it is not subsidized ,anC
the Jackson Daily News proceeds
to get all wrought up and to de
nounce Mr.. Quin as several differ
ent kinds of a liar-IF he so mucl
as intimates that He, She or 1t ha
had its valuable editorial opinion
purchased by any idividual or co
poration.
Now, the funny part OF it is tina
Mr.. Quin was not referring to thes'
little papers at all. Certainly the.
cannot be said to mold public sen
timent to any very large extent
and there exists no earthly reasol
having any sort Of substance, VIII!
anybody should desire to subsidiz
them or exercise any concern as t,
what they may have said or are g
ing to say.
In the great campaign OF 1911
all of these papers were antagonls
tic to the majority OF voters in tn
primary which followed it, anC
judging by the returns in the sev
eral counties where they are pub
Gshed, their influence in thes
counties was not Overpowering t.
say the least of it.
In this campaign, Mr.. Quin am
his friends are perfectly willing tt
have their opposition, since we ar
confident that their objection t,
his candidacy will make it "bloon
and bourgeon and bend with th'
golden fruit" Of success. .-Magno

llcan, has been re.elected.


The returns indicate democratic
gains in the Legislature in the lower
and upper houses. There will be a
change from republican to democratic
representation in several counties al
though the number is uncertain.
The returns on the school bill and
the iniated measure of Campbell Rus
sell to recall the state board of agri-
culture are gaining and indications
are that both have carried unless the
silent" vote should prove sufficiently
large to overcome the majorities. The
vote on both bills was heavy all over
the state.
The estimated vote cast for presi-
dental electors was two hundred
twenty-five thousand. Fifteen thou
sand We're cast for the socialists, one
hundred and twenty thousand for the
democrats and ninety thousand for the
republican ticket.
The socialists developed unexpected
strength in the southern and western
parts of the state, and are claiming
a larger vote by 10000 than the old
party leaders are willing to concede.

question thus far received;

THE TWO NATURES
WAS DR.. BULG|NS
THEME LAST NIGHT

The subject Of DR.. Bulgins sermon
last night was The Dual Nature, and
the text was taken from John, 9rd
chapter and a part of the 9Th verse:
THAT Which is Born of the Flesh is
Flesh, and That Which is Born of the
Spirit is Spirit.
He divided individuals into five
classes;, and gave five difficulties
which they find in their way when try
ing to live christian life These are:
The critical man in the world; the
man who would like to be christian
but cant live it, the backslider; the
one who has false ideas of holiness;
and the last, those who are complying
with the conditions of christian life
but do not know it.
Then we were told that there was
a marked difference between a child
of God and hypocrite: that while
both were endowed with the same
propensities to sin, the child of God
through struggling for the right was
constantly palling in an opposite direc-
tion from the person who had no in
tention to even try; willing to allow
himself to drift downward without a
thought of his own safety, and with
out needing the cries of those who see
his danger and would stay the tide of
sin which is creeping upon him more
and more as days go by.
1t is strange, but these very people
he said, could tell the christian Just
how to live. The devils in hell and
the sinners in the world he said
know how professed christian ought
to live and can tell them all about it,
There are two distinct natures in
man. Born of the flesh and cannot
please God" Born of the spirit and
cannot sin" 4Ie who is born of God
cannot habitually continue in sin
While the weakness of his nature may
cause him to make mistakes, his birth
right gives him the power to change
and make good the wrong he has done.
The fact that he is constantly tempted
to do wrong is the very proof of his
right to be a child of God. The abject
sinner loses Conscience to the extent
that he ceases to struggle. and is not
capable of knowing when he is really
doing wrong lie may be told It is
wrong, but he does not see it.
DR. Bulgin says there is no place in
the bible where God promises to for
give sin: but he has promised that
our sins may be forgiven us. There
is vast difference he says in sin,
the singular and sins the plural. Sin
organic, born in us, but sins are what
We do, and we have power to make
them fewer, as our strength OF purpose
increases, and we grow to understand
ourselves and take ourselres to task
for sins. separately and collectively.
Ks sin is something we cannot help
