Raise Your Own Hogs

Atlanta, Ca, June 26.-ln the
effort to encourage the Southern
farmers to raise more hogs, the
Southern Railway, through its
Live Stock Department, has
issued a booklet entitled, Hog
Production and Conditions for
Success in the South" a copy of
which will be furnished on re-
quest by F. L. Word, Live Stock
Agent, Atlanta, Ga.
The booklet contains much
practical and valuable informa-
ton as to the, care and feeding
of hogs, selection of breeds,
treatment of diseases, and cut
ting and curing meat. Chapters
on each subject have been sup
piled by experts.
That the South consumes more
pork and raises less than any
other part of the United States
despite the fact that pork can be
produced more cheaply in the
South than in the North or West,
is a well known fact and condi.
ton that greatly impedes the
progress of the section. The
long open season and the great
variety of food crops at his com
mand gives the Southern farmer
the opportunity to- make more
rsnasasySIaising hogs than is pos
sible in any other territory.
The Live Stock Recruitment Of
the Southern Railwky devotes its

Because forsooth, one conductor
should forget to be a gentleman
should be no more an indictment
against all other conductors than
the disbarment of one lawyer OF
the betrayal of a client by one
lawyer should be against the
legal profession. There are
many, many more lawyers ar
raigned before the bar of public
opinion in our commonwealth
than conductors. Measured.
then, by Mr.. Sillers' standard,
what must be the conclusion?
"Mississippians desire to mete
out even-handed justice. They
have never yet failed to lift their
voices in behalf of the falsely
accused, and it is to Mississlp-
plans that we appeal.
I'VE beg to call Mr.. Sillers'
attention to a resolution recently
passed by the Mississippi Tray
elers' Association taking issue
with his statement and there are
no class of men that come more
in contact with conductors than
the drummers,
One of the conductors whose
signature is attached to this
letter was a member of the Off
cial staff of Gov. Vardaman,
Gov. Noel, and is on the staff of
the present able and distinguish
ed executive. This is at least a
tribute to his good name and a
compliment to the conductors of
the state. We are men who
must labor week by week to
maintain our families. We know
what it means to have want
stare one in the face, We have
a tender feeling for every un-
fortunate human being and we
try to live so as to be at peace
with the world. We would per-
fer the same smiles of the humb-
lest citizen rather than his
froWn.
I'VE commit the issue Mr..
Sillers has raised to those who
know US and to the God-fearing
people of Mississippi-a people
who are noted for giving every
man and all classes a fair hear
ing and an honest verdict.

John Sharp Williams.

States senate, the one who comes
as near as any other to deserving
to be called a statesman is John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi.
There are many senators whose
names are more frequently in the
the papers, many who are more
conspicuous on the floor OF the
senate. and many who have a
greater capacity and devotion to
the druggery of legislative de-
tail, but none who so invariably
combine learning and original
thought in there contributors to
the debates. Any person read
ing the Congressional Record is
conscious when he comes to an
utterance by Senator Williams
that the type seems to raise IT.
self above the rest of the page.
What he says is always based on
the fundamental philosophy of
government. In a long expert
ence of reading the Congressional
Record the present writer has
never seen an utterance in which
Senator Williams appeared mere
ly as a partisan. He never states
merely his own case; he always
states the other side just as
fairly; he never takes a dialectic
advantage. He has the air OF
putting everything from every
side on the table and then sitting
about to find the combination
which is truth. Frequently he
speaks with deep conviction, but
in his utterances there is always
that which indicates study of all
points of view and tolerance even
for a point of view which he
strongly disapproves. Senator
Williams, for example, knows
that free sugar means the doom
of the sugar. raising industry in
his own state and in the sugar
states generally:
Il am perfectly willing to ad-
NIT that free sugar will disman-
tie every sugar house in the state
of Louisiana. | know it as we'll
as | know my name is John Will
liams."
Mr.. Williams sees there is
tragedy in doing this, but he
knows where the original blame
for the tragedy belongs:
1T is pathetic to me to think
that these people have been in
vited to come in and walk in
deep water on stills and that
when they are now asked to
walk without stills they must be
drowned"
Senator Williams is sorry for
this and would have prevented it
if he could by a reasonable duty.
Nevertheless he sees the problem
not as a present injustice alone;
he sees the case as a whole, and
harks back to the underlying
economic evil:
After all. the sugar duty is a
special privilege, because no man
has a God-given or natural right
to make money out of an indus
try of any sort except where he
can stand upon his two legs
without legislative help!"
Senator Williams sees the un-
pleasant effect to tariff revision
downward, not as a primary
harm, but as a necessary incident
of the surgery that is necessary
to cure a Iong-standing and deep.

der:

hood is of itself an answer to the
above, but as honest men who
have been unjustly assailed. we
feel that we must speak words OF
truth and soberness to Mr.. Sillers.
The railroad conductors of Mis-

certainly a very large per cent
Of them are; their mothers and
fathers are here. Many of them
we're poor boys and were denied

They have worked their way up.
They have their homes in Mis-
sissippi, they have married Mis-
,issippi girls, they are sharing IN
all the privileges and the burd-
EMS of our government, they pay
their taxes here, they exercise
he right of suffrage here and
by every rule of justice and
right are entitled to the same
fair consideration which is &C.
corded all other men. AS a class
they have not the learning and
the scholarship Mr.. Sillers has;
we appreciate that he earns his
livelihood by his wits and that
he makes as much money in a
few minutes as it takes a con-
ductor days or weeks to make,
yet we insist that conductors as
a class are ju t as moral and are
