Thoughts From the
Aberdeen Examiner
(Maj. S. A. JONAS. Editor.)
To Protect Cotton Seed.

- 'SeSNs SOstVh SSSos
And now come the merchants of
Forest City, Arkansas, with a
movement to erect a seed ware
house and raise a pool to buy seed
in order to hold up the market on
a side product that largely main
tains retail trade in the interior
towns of the cotton belt. The Ex-
aminer has advocated this scheme
for release and independence for
years, and it reminds us that the
Examiner was the first journal in
the world to call for legislation in
restraint of the sale of cocanine, a
demon that has more misery and
murder to its credit than all the
whisky that century has produc-
ed; and that Arkansas was the
first state in the Union to respond
though we vainly appealed to our
delegation in that behalf when we
had two physicians among our
representation Mississippi, through
a Noxubee county Legislator. a
physician, was the first to follow
Arkansas, and now every state in
the Union, we think, has joined
the procession.
A press dispatch from Forest
City, Arkansas, claims that seed
are worth $24 per ton, whereas
buyers are only offering $12.

Jackson, Miss.
Dear Sir: The Noxubee Rifles Chap
ter, United Daughters of the Confeder-
acy, wish to express to you our deep
appreciation of the honor conferred
upon the Hon. E. d. Cavett. by plac-
ing his photograph in the Hall of Fame.
He has always been an inspiration to
our chapter; has at all times given
every assistance. He is truly the en-
bodiment of what General Porter Alex
ander said of the private soldier. "Shall
/ name to you at once the Confederate
hero who deserves the highest pedestal.
who bore the greatest privations and
contributed most freely of his blood to
win every victory and:resist every de-
feat? name the Private Soldier. -
practically without pay, and on half
rations, he enlisted for life or death,
and served out his contract. He did
not look the fighting man he was; he
was lean, sunburned and bearded, often
bare-footed and ragged. He hadIsonly
antiquated and inferior arms. until he
captured better ones in battle. He had
not even military ambition, but he had
one incentive which was lacking to his
opponents-brave and loyal as they
were. Meeting him on the march. one
might recognize in his eyes certain
far-away look; he was fighting for his
home"
We feel that you have honored Noxu-
bee county and her loyal sons and daugh-
ters.
AS chapter, we wish to thank you
and Mrs. Rowland for the splendid work
you are doing for our state.
With all good wishes for future sue
cess in your department, we are,
Sincerely,

This Horrible War.

War on land, on sea, in the air
and IN the waters under the sea
are already among the character,
estics of the fearful conflict tfat
is devastating Europe, but the
worst is to come if tho conflict is
prolonged for six months; we will
see great cities in confagration and
thousands of women, children and
other non combatants destroyed
by explosives dropped from air
craft, and will see all the rapine
and ravage of torch and sword that
characterized the swarmery of the
GOths and Vandals in the primal
days of barbaric inroad. We

The Spirit of "Bay-a-Bale. "

An important feature in the
"Buy.a- bale" crusade, is the fact
that it is sentimental and not com
mercial in it's nature, and; that in
vestors are not likely to loose
sight of the incentive. Hence
those who pay ten cents a pound
are not apt to. part with their pur,
chases at less than cost and stOr.
age charges, and those to whom
they sell'are not likely to part with
it if for less than they pay, this
makes it a great lever in the. main
tenance of cotton values.

About the best thing that has com
"a the attention of the people Of Koos
=. during the past week in the line O
;nnrovement and betterment Of condi
tom. is the visit of Mr.. Kilmorgaa VII,
has in mind the operation of q lanel
from Kooskia to Lowell.
The Mountaineer did not see Mr.. Kol
morgan personally, but as soon as in
formation was obtained Of the projec,
an inquiry was started, but NO first
hand interview was obtained.
The idea of the proposition, however
Il a sticker and put into operation
could not help but open up avenues of
commerce and sources of revenue not
q be scoffed at What matters it If
Toe White did start it once and fall
down in the traces. What difference
does it make if lots of work is neces-
sary on the river channel for the low
water season. The Mountaineer is in
elined to the belief that Joe White
fell down-not the merit Of the pro-
iect, and there is lots Of work to be
done to acquire anything worth having.
The Middle Fork country has world
wide renoun as a hunting and fishing
locality and even today with the hard
ships Of freighting camp supplies over
the roads, few of the most prominent
people of Idaho 60 in every year. With
launch running at regular intervals to
take their supplies to No. /, and them
selves for that matter many more would
come and the money they would spend
in outfitting would sweeten up many
cash drawer on Main street.
Aside from the pleasure phase, the
people who live along the river would
be regular patrons both in taking in
supplies and bringing out products. As
an example, Chas. Strife has one of the
incest vineyards in the world and every |
year tons and tons Of grapes fall to
ruin and decay because they cannot be
marketed. Other settlers no doubt
experience the same trouble and it &C.
ours to The Mountaineer that they
alone would supply ample revenue b,
their patronage.
Likewise the forest service patronage
voull be contributing factor Of no
mean proportion. A saIa IN nm ahovo
Lowell and forty or fifty men will be |
regularly employed there for the next
Tour or five years. With launch in
'peration they could 60 and come at will Il
almost which would be pleasure for
hem and good business for Kooskia.
One of these days some right lively
'ustler is going into this business and
tay with it and make a success of it, {
md when he does he will reap for
Mountaineer.
