STARKVILLE GIVES
MERIDIAN POINTERS
And Puts Mississippi's Metropolis Next
to the Tango Dance.

Meridian, Miss, Feb. 4.-The
tango and animal dance" seem
to have caused an uproar in the
quiet little village Of Starkville,
and judging from a commu.
nication received by Mayor
Parker from lady of that
town, the rage has caused con-
siderable anxiety for the future of
the town, as indications point to
its being tango and animal dance
mad.
The communication is addressed
to the board of city commissioners,
and asks for the copy Of an ordi-
nance which the Starkville vigi>
lance committee were informed
had been passed in Meridian for
the suppression of the so-called
dullildl uuuCOo.
Strange to say the letter brought
the first information of Meridian
having an ordinance of the kind,
and so far as can be learned there
has been no complaint Of undue
activity in the animal dance world.
The new dances, of course, have
met with favor in Meridian, as
they have in other parts of the
country, but as yet Meridian has
not lost its head over the dance.
The letter received here by the
city commissioners read as follows:
Starkvile. Miss, Jan. 30, 1914.
Board Of City Commissioners,
Meridian, Miss.
Honorable Board: The local
w. c. Z. U. and a committee from
the A. and M. College are making

Meridian by the passage of an
ordinance prohibiting these dances.
If this is true, will you kindly
send us n copy of the ordinance

other method, we would be glad to
know of that.

tion here, affecting not only our

In passing, however, it might
not be inopportune to say that the
Starkville style of animal dance"
must be some dance to have caused
the need of such drastic action on
the part of the ladies of that town.

stage where they need a law to
control dancing

throned king"
Fear has caused me to procrasti.

the fertile brains of the various
agricultural agents who are so
energetic with their science and
labor in n war on the great pest
that is so surely, and rapidly, de-.
stroying the chief money crop of
our southern states. SO it may be
that n student of agriculture and

vitriol and contradict my prophe>
cies in such way as to make me
feel like Il small potato.
But | am going to take a shot at
it anyhow and | hope that | can
say something that will keep the
farmer from going bankrupt.
Cotton has been a king. 1t has
been dethroned by the boil weevil.
This great army Of bugs is here to
stay, and as long as we try to
raise cotton, this pest will be with
us. Look at the territories that
have been infected. Havoc was
played with banks, merchants and
farmers who invested their money
and labor in trying to raise cotton
under boil weevil conditions. We
observe this, yet we do not heed
We all have brains, but it seems
we have to be taught from expert

house Oh sand, like the foolish
man did, because we heard the
waters washed his house away.
If there was an epedemic of
cholera prevalent farmers would
not buy hogs at a dollar
par head; if diptheria broke
out in a school, no amount
of money could induce the farmer
to send his child to the house Of
learning; if deadly poisonious
weeds and vines, that are % fatal
to live stock, were known - be in
certain pastures, farmers would not
Craze their cattle therein.
Now, why don't the farmer do
these things?
Because he knows they are fatal
to life. The same thing is true of
the boil weevil, with the exception
that this pest is fatal to The money

dethroned king, and if the weevils
multiply as fast in the future as
they have in the past, we will be
forced to wear fig leaves for clothes
or robe ourselves in silks and
satins from across the pond.
wish it was constitutional for
the United States government to
prohibit the planting of cotton for
a period of five years and thus
eliminate the boil weevil by the
starvation process. This may
sound like mush to all the scientist
who are experimenting with this
army Of bugs, but believe they
will all agree that the weeviI is
here to stay.

The Vicksburg Herald in dis.
cussing the Kyle Banking bill says:
The election of bank examiners is
in itself an innovation, we believe,
without precedent. The objection
raised-that it would probahiy're>
suit in the choice of men without
fitness or training for the duties of
the posltion-was met in what to
us seems the querest fashion to
wit: That all candidates for the
Office Of bank examiners should be
qualified to run in the primaries
aud elections, through the exami
nation and certificates of a board
of bank commissioners. These
commissioners are to be chosen and
constituted by the appointment of
one, each, by the Governor, the
Auditor and the Acknowledgement.
Was there ever before conceived
such n circuitous and complicated
channel of approach to n plum
tree! AS substitute to the
proposition for so choosing the
examiners, one each by the state
officers named, it recalls the story
of the man who was told by his
wife to get rid of his dog. Re
turning from the fulfillment of the
command, he reported he had sold
the dog for 5000; taking in lieu
of the cash two pups at $500
apiece.

A DANGEROUS
EXPERIMNT

The Potter bill. one of those
devious measures known as
'Workmen's Compensation Bill"
introduced in the legislature, is
some of those dangerous expert
ments which have resulted too
badly for the state in the past.
The theory that the lawyer ought
not to get half of the damages
awarded for injuries and accidents
to clients is very good, but it seems
n hard matter to find o way to
avoid it.
There is no demand for a meas.
ure of this knd in Mississippi
The representatives of the laborers
OF this state say they are opposed
to such measure. No demand
has come from any other source
for experimental legislation.
We are making great industrial
progress in Mississippi and we
ought not endanger this develop
ment, and the prosperity which
goes with it, in order to permit
some aspiring Legislator to indulge
in day dreams.
The Legislature had better let
well enough alone. Laurel Argus

trying everywhere else except in Jesus
TO find satisfaction and sustenance and

A Simple Process.
Consider the process by which we
get Christ as the food for the soul.
Verse So, He that cometh to me shall
never hunger; and he that believeth
OH me shall never thirst; ". 81, If
any man eat of this bread he shall
live forever; v. 54, Whose eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath
eternal life; " Sc, He that eateth my
flesh and drinketh ny blood. dwelleth
in me, and in him; v. So, He that
eateth of this bread shall live for
ever. Here we have simple process
but a profound truth, and Christ sets
himself forth as the same food for
all souls: he is not one thing to the
rich man and another to the man
who cannot afford the luxury-he ID
the bread Of life; just that to the man
who could pay fabulous sum. and
Just that to the man who has no
money. And yet the cost Of bread
is great: the seed is cast into the
ground and dies before the stalk ap-
pears; the grain must be cut down by
the reapers; there Ia the severe proc
ess Of grinding; and finally, the In
tense heat of the fire which perfects
and completes the process. Christ
could not be the bread Of life apart
from the garden. the cross. the tomb

precious blood of Christ. as Of a lamb

If YOU come home at night. after the
severe toll of the day, how do you get
nourishment out Of the bread set be-
fore you at the evening meal? BY
discoursing about the constituent
parts which make up the loaf OF
bread? BY praising the love and the
skill of the hands which provided the
bread? BY admiration Of the form
of flavor Of the loaf? No, no; but by
the homely but necessary process OF
appropriation. Hereby learn lesson
for that deep hunger which your soul
feels-appropriate Christ, who says. |
am the bread Of life; he that cometh
unto me shall never hunger. Let
your faith lay hold Of him. His gra-
