 R0SPERIlTY
LENIGTHENING THE EVENING.

Cleveland and several other Ohio cities have (recently changed or plan led to chtnge their clocks rom Central to Eastern Sta ndard time. As. every clock will be set one hour ahead, that meanl that there will be one hour more of daylight after sup per or dinner. which ever Ohians call their evening meal.
 The little objection anticpated m Cleveland to this change lis a very tunny illustration of human nature. Precisely the same thing could have been done without interfering With the railroad schedules by pubic ordinance and general consehs. IL was simply necessary to agree that aN places of business should open and close one hour earlier in eacn case. Although the meal times in the homes W. ald have to be changed 10 correspond.
 Popular habits become so set tha. it would be almost impossible 10 se' snch a change made. The man who ;s used to getting up at ' a. m. wouio rever get over the idea that It 's q hardship to rise with the clock say inc 6 o'clock. Fat if his clock can be set ahead, so that he will get up al hour earlier without realizing It, Ee feels. no hardship, and en)oys all file benefit os the longer evening.

Last year Brooks county raised the
 meat necessary for home consump- ton, shipped out several carloads of
 hogs, and in addition sold 15O,OOO
 pounds of bacon at an average price
 t1 IA cents a pound. This year it is
 estimated that Brooks county will sell
 z5O,000 pounds of bacon in addition to
 what is needed for home consumption

 Led to the markets. About 1oO0 head of fat cattle will also be marketed from the county. The raising of live stock ilas not been accomplished at sacrifice of other crops, but has been produced in addition to the regular crops, with the result that those who have taken up this line of worl are becoming the leading and the most prosperous farmers in the country. The cash receipts for the live stock and bacon sold from the county is near $100,000.
 What Is being done in Brooks coun- ty it is believed could be done in every county in the South. This would put the farmer on a better fin ancial footing, because he would not Le dependent upon cotton as his sole cash chop.

THE GREATER INTEREST IN THE
 HORSE.

It does not add to ones sense of comfort to open ones eyes and con- sider the question whether the do mestic animals on our streets arc we'll cared for or not. Most people SO their ways, comfortably oblivious as to whether horses are well fed and kindly considered or the. reverse. It creates an unpleasant sense of re- sponsibility when one sees 1nal- treated animal, a feeling that 1t is one's disagreeable duty to interfere.
 However, the horse seems to have more friends than formerly. In a great many places work ,horse parades oId morse days are being held at this time of year. The summer is the period of highest strain for these faithful helpers. Anything that a. a. tracts attention to their needs is us7- full
 Drivers of horses who are careless in treating horses regard 1t as o1li- cious and impertinent when people call their attention to such negiec' The grocer's boy will crack his whip loudly over his horses head, ii ne sees some specially jealous fr'end oi animal passing along the s'lee'. s. Nevertheless the person who protests against cases of cruelty performs service.
 The most obvious ill-treatment oc- CUTS along oae of these Tines: 'nsu'- sicient feeding, lack of protection against insects and badly fitting mar ..ess. Many drivers fail to remed. the last difficulty, simply because II would take them five minutes to punch few extra holes in strap.
 The poorly fed horse is the dlscoh tented horse. He plugs along 1he street at a discouraged and droop'hs pace, and balks at fair sizel 'oad He returns no dividents to his Owner and is a discredit to any home, plac' cf business, or farm.

UNKNOWN DIPLOMATS.
Shreveport Timesj.

There is criticism of some of the diplomatic appointments of the presi- dent because the men selected in some instances have been practically un- known and mostly without experience. This criticism is called forth by the appointment last week of Representa- tive William G. Sharp of Ohio to be ambassador to France. The only ob- jection to Mir. Sharp, it appears, is that he has not been a governor or a great publicist. He is popular and has a reputation for fairness and in tegrity which appealed to the presi- dent.
 So far as the chief diplomatic posts are concerned, they are invariably filled by men without previous eXpe- rience in the diplomatic service. De- spite this suppose handicap, our dip lonatic service has not suffered any serious deterioration under the sys- 1 tenn of complete change every four years.
 | It is true that Mir. Sharp is little known, but he succeeds a man whose only claims to distinction was that ht was a lame duck" who had been governor of Ohio by virtue of the ole
 Republican machine in that state
 There is no reason to assume that MT
 Sharp will not make better ambas
 sador to France that Myron T. Her
 rick, a broken-down politician, who
 when he went to Paris, was withou
 previous diplomatic experience. Nor will men like MT. Sharp suffer
 by comparison with others who have 1 held diplomatic posts in recent years
 He will probably make better am
 bassador than Leischman, who be
 came noted for his stock gambling
 proclivities, or Henry Lane Wilson
 who condoned the murder of Madert
 and misrepresented the United States in Mexico. Almost invariably when there i

A NEW SYSTEM OF BUSl-
NESS IN LAFAYETTE
COUNTY.

Again VIZ sound note Of war
ming to the farmers of Lafayette
County. Everyone admits we
have the boil weevils, but no one
seems to take it as q reality, that
that means the cotton is done for
in this county. shall we wait
until we can raise no more cot
ton before we prepare? 1t looks
very much like that. Times are
hard, very hard with us. Many
Of our citizens have recently ex-
perienced the greatest banking
disaster in this county, and that
alone will take many years to get
back our equilibrium; and then
to be eaten up by this pest of n
bug. 1t looks like real hard times
1t is true our people have some-
thing To live on-most OF them.
but there is Il large percentage of
our people VINO depend solely up
on being furnished by either the
landlord, the supply merchant or
some one else. II they can't get
this aid, they can't live. This is
especially true with the negro.
lie never lays up anything as a
rule; yet he must be fed. Who
will feed him If he can't grow
cotton? He knows how to do
little else unless he has a white
man TO furnish him and boss him.
Next year may be too late: our
farmers had better start now.
They had better get ready for the
lean years. and they may be
even more than seven. In south
Mississippi the people, even
white people, have had to leave
for other places because they
could not live where the boil
weeyil had taken charge. Pike
Count, alon p. it is said, has lost
over five thousand people on ac-
count Of the boil weevil. That
tells a horrible story; lesson
that few realize. Yet its true.
Lafayette County, ii now seems
must face this. Farmers, wha'
will you do? What will you d'
this year?
