LIGHT IN DARK PLACES.

Since the White Way was in
stalled on Broadway, the general
system of lighting the residence dis
tricts is being carried out by the
city authorities. Many new lights
have been installed. but many more
are needed.
BY the time the new lighting plant
is ready for use all streets should be
equipped with lights. The City
Council promised to do this when
funds were voted for the lighting of
Broadway and the adjoining streets.

first president of the Chinese Repub-
lie. That sort of life is attractive to
all ambitious young men.
7 President Sun who is As years old,
has achieved that of which he
dreamed - twenty-five years ago -

last two decades he has travelled
around the world, planting the seed
of revolution in the minds of the
Chinese people abroad and plotting
the downfall of the Manchu dynasty.
At last success has crowned his eff

THE BOXES ON BROADWAY.

"Oh-h-h! What funny mai
bOxes!" exclaimed a Columbia wo.
man the other day.
But they weren't mail boxes. They
were big yellow and orange and
black affairs with a. dash of other
cOlOrs thrown in for artistic effect.
They were cavernous enough to hold
two or three mail pouches and were
simply plastered with all kinds of
advertisements. What do you sup
pose they were? Why the city's
new garbage cans"
Right over a slot in these tin
boxes, which look like a gorgeous
sunset behind the packing house
district. is a prim little line that
reads, keep the city clean" This
line isn't visible until you have read
all about the shoe repairing shops
and where to get your watch spring
fixed and whose groceries are best.
These cans are to keep the city
clean" The horse that can be
driven down Broadway between
those two rows of gorgeous advertis-
ing couldn't be scared off a trolley
track.
Now, of course, We want to keep
the city clean. But We shouldn't be
so ostentatious about it. We
shouldn't permit our garbage cans to
detract attention from our paved
streets and our fine stores and our
new white way. You wouldn't plant
your cuspidor in the center of your
parlor rug. now would you? People
never build their kitchens on the
front part of their houses.
We have found that bill boards
and unsightly poles have no place in
our city beautiful plan. The old
fashioned hitching racks have been
forced to the side streets. Couldn't
We arrange to get along with less
conspicuous garbage cans?

lightheartedness reigned supreme.
Time passed almost as swiftly as the
careening winds. Even the most
bashful youth reluctantly released
the little hands that he had the su-
preme delight of clasping for two
long, blissful hours. He gained prac-
tice of kneeling before her as he took
off her skates and the walk home was
usually too short. The little girl
had gleefully and gracefully skated
right into his heart before he knew
it. Talk of delight. what can equal
the joy of skating?"

Jackson.-That there is confidence in
the future of Mississippi, and especially
in the agricultural, industrial and devel-
opmental lines. and that her farming and
plantation lands are considered as a safe
asset against the possibilities of the flu.
ture, is indicated in the large number
of corporations which have been formed
within the past six months, whose cap
ital stock, in a number of cases, runs
into the six-igure class. During the re-
cent past charters of Incorporation have
been recorded in the office of the sec
rotary of state aggregating between two
and three millions. This movement has
been carried on regardless of the act of
the Legislature seeking to restrict. this
class of enterprise, an act which, accord
ing to the construction of its provisions
by the attorney-general, is morally in eff
feet now. But, Notwithstanding this po-
sitiou of the states legal adviser, these
charters have gone on record as legally
approved, for the reason that the chief
executive takes the opposite view, main
tanning that he has no right to antici-
pate the provisions of an act not yet

ners Haunting and waving to the breezes
which prevailed; with typically bright
October skies, the sun unobscured by
even the faintest suggestion of cloud,
after the morning fog was dispelled, the
ninth annual Mississippi State Fair was
opened auspiciously on Monday. While
there was still much to be done here
and there by exhibitors in all depart
ments in order to get their respective
displays in shape for close and critical
inspection, for a first day the prepare
tory arrangements were much more ad-
vanced than hitherto. Long before the
gates were open to the public at noon
the workers could be seer in all parts
OF the grounds and the buildings, busy
as bees, and, unhampered by ~intruding
visitors, they were able to make good
headway during the first few hours of
the day.
In q great many instances the exhib-
itors were unavoidably delayed owing
to the difficulties experienced in get
ting their goods in from Meridian, sew
eral train loads of property of all kinds
having reached the local yards during
Sunday and Sunday night. Some, in
fact. were not received until late Mon
day.

CLEARS COTTON OIL.
Dr.. Wiley Does Not Hold 1t Responsible
for Pellagra.

Jackson. Somehow and by some one
not known a report was placed in circu-
lation during the East Mississippi fair,
as picked up by men connected with the
Mississippi cotton oil industry, to the
effect that the cottonseed oil was a pei
lagra medium. The officials of the Mis-
sissippi Crushers' Association decided
to go to as high an authority as could
be found for a refutation, and therefore
a telegram was sent DR.. Harvey N. Wi
ley, the recognized dean of the pure food
expert corps, asking his opinion.
Secretary I. I. McGeorge of the crush
ers' association received the following
telegram, dated at Washington:
"Our present knowledge makes it alto
gether improbable that c~ottonseed oil
could pellagra. Should regard
such an opinion as speculative merely.
