The average run of epples on the
market this season has caused buzz
OF protest to go up almost from one
side of the continent to the other.
The merchants are not to blame, as
the public prints have developed the
fact that the lack of uniformity in
the marketable apple this season is
directly traceable to the producer.
OF course the original buying mer-
chants who have chance to see the
crop on the farms, are somewhat
blameable for accepting such sorry
class of the fruit, but they have had
to find sufficient quantity of it to
supply the national demand and d
standardized product has been impos-
sible to obtain.

State Senator Joe Norwood's proro-
sition to call the legislature into spe-
cial session to devise banking reform
law, in order to trench against bank
failures which have become SO FREE
Quent in the state the last past sew
eral months. Possibly its better af-
ter all that a special session not be
called, for such might alarm and de-
stroy confidence IN financial instltu-

cause exists for same. Possibly the
legislature will make such law a
special feature upon the calendar at
their 1914 session, and thus let it
come in a regular way.

Opsn-Door Needed For Consular Service.

Now that democratic admins

the trust evil is about to be inaugu-
r d. democratic congressman
should not be deceived by the repub
lican cry, Keep experienced men in
the consular service The republl-
can party has built up an office-hold-
ing class in the consular service, and,
in the interest of the trusts they are
now trying to perpetuate this class.
Our consular agents are nearly all
the favored friends of the great cor
porations which have grown power
full under the protective tariff. In
very few Instance are they interest
ed in the commodities of the South
ern farmer or manufacturer
Unhappily for US, however, many
congressman seem to be opposed to
any policy which will disturb these
consular trust agents. The South
is rich in talent, but it seems that
the financial well being of the trusts
IN this matter will continue to
smother that talent.
The opening of the Panama Canal
will give Southern commerce it's
greatest impetus. The South ought
to have an open chance for the con-
sular service, but the republicans are
trying to keep the "door closed. !"
The Democrats in Congress should
see that this SO called merit sys
tenn" of the consular service is re-
vised. A failure on their part to re-
peal the "ru.es" governing consular
appointments will deprive the coun-
try at large of its right to fair repre-
sentation at all ports of the world.

The South Has Never Raised Enough Corn.

Sumner Herald Progress.
The Old South knew how to grow
cotton but the plan tations could not
grow corn. If maize could have been
cultivated, the war might have had
a different ending. Only recently
has the South commenced to appre-
ciate its corn growing possibilities,
and the change from the one crop of
the South to diversified farming will
give stability and growth to South
ern agricultural pursuits. No state
in the South has greater posi- bilities
for diversified farming than Mlssis-
sippi. We will always continue to
ra se t h e best cotton !.
and plenty of it, but there IS no
reason why we should not bring
also from our soil those other com
modities which make for a. section s
prosperity; no reason why we should
not raise all the corn we need, and
save the freight on it from the North.
Whether corn raising in the South
would have made a change IN the
outcome of the Civil War, is, of
course. merely matter of conjecture.
The raising of corn, however, to keep
pace with the country's progress, is
a vitol question of the present day.
If for no other reason we should di-
versify our crops in order to keep
our money at home.

THAT OBNOXIOUS YARN-TELLER.

Lord Chesterfield in his Letters to
his Son, gives bit of advice that we
heartily wish would receive more
general adoption, which SAID advisory
clause is as follows:
Tell stories seldom, md absolutely new
er but where they are very apt and short.
Omit every circumstance that is not mater
ial and beware OF digressions."
The above was written in a dis
course upon good manners in public.
Would that some of these selfish
characters who are forever blowing
up when a group OF men gather in
pleasant social converse, and
quickly edges in and takes the con-
versation by sheer force OF gall and
noise, starting off by saying of
whatever was under discussion:
That's like the story | heard or
something l saw and so on. That's
about leaving time with good con-
versatlonalist and man of polished
manners who does not care to stay
and see the coIloquY run to degener-
acy. But alas, such man is so con-
firmed in his egotism and bad habit,
that you could not knock a genteel
truth, such as this into him, hardly
with a sledge hammer or hydraulic
ram. The vessel could be bursted or
battered but could not be made to
hold such contents.

Motive For Editors Errand Misconstrued

Unidentified.
The editor of a Kasnsas paper says
that he picked up Winchester rifle
recently and started up the street to
deliver it to its owner. The delin-
quent subscribers got it into their
heads that he was on the war path,
and every one be met insisted on
paying all they owed. One man
wiped out debt of ten years stand
ing. On returning to the Office he
found load of hay, fifteen bushels
of corn, ten bushels of potatoes, a
load of wood and barrel of turnlps.
1t may not be bad idea for some
Mississippi editors to go through
their towns with a rifle on their
shoulders.

to the right of the Gravel Hill road,
this side of the gravel hill on land
belonging to A. C, Jones. The land
is so geographically situated as to
afford almost an ideal place. The
gallows will be erected IN the hollow

Overtaxing Good Roads Must Be Forbid

Crystal Springs Meteor.
The supervisors of Greene County
have issued an order limiting the
weight of loads that may be hauled
over the public roads of that county
to 1000 pounds. The preservation
of the roads of this county demands
an order of like character. No road
contractor, however well-equipped
and capactated to do the work can
keep the public highways in passa-
BILE condition when subjected to the
destructive effects of heavy loads of
lumber and logs in excess of 1000
pounds.

Tree Planting Is Good Old Doctrine.

Jock, when We haze naething else to
do We may be aye sticking In tree;
it will be growing, Jock, when ye're
sleeping. From THE Heart of Mid
lothian, by Sir Walter Scott.
Planting trees is work that has
never appealed strongly to the aver
age man, because the average man
thinks more of the present than OF
the future. He wants early returns
for his work and cannot see them in
growing young trees. Trees require
years to reach the bearing stage or
to become valuable for their timber.
1t is too long to wait; most of US
think it is, and we fail to remember
that every hour, day and night,
through the spring and summer a
tree is growing. The young man
just past twenty who sets out a pecan
orchard will see it bearing while he
IS still young. and will be thankful
for bis foresight. The middle-aged
man who owns little land can make
himself secure and independent in
his old age by planting trees, which
require but little care.

is they were in the third-class rate Of

the fourth-class or what is now par

There's Plenty Of MONEY In This State.
Meridian Dispatch.

Meridian Dispatch.
Notwithstanding the fact that one
or two money lending companies
have refused to continue to make
loans in Mississippi, because the
contract rate of interest has been tx-
ed at eight per cent, it is announced
that there is plenty of money to be
had all over the state on the usual
security. 1t is SAID, further, that
foreign corporations are being at
tracted to the state by exemption of
SIX per cent money.
There are also many wealthy Mis-
sissippians who recognize eight per
cent as a good price for money and
they are willing to keep their money
at home where they have accumulat
ed it, and put it out at eight per
cent and one well-to-do Mississippian
is placing 100000 in sums of $40, 900
aud less on farm proper ty at six per
cent. This indicates that the finan-
cial condition of the people of the
state is considered good aud it fur
Their shows that money can be had
just as readily as usual on the same
conditions of security. No farm
lands in Mississippi are decreasing in
value, nor will they do so, On the
contrary continued Use in value is
about as certain as anything can be.

Lieutenant

New York, June "A new trial for
Charles Becker. the police lieutenant
convicted of the murder of Herman
Rosenthal and now in the deathhouse

four grounds. namely
First, that new evidence has been
discovered: second, that the verdict of
conviction was contrary to law and
against the weight of the testimony
third, that Sam II. Haas, a juror, was
separated from the other jurymen on
two occasions when he visited a dem

should be granted in the interests of
justice.
