And he might have added: 1t pleases the pub
lie and makes friends for the road throughout the
region it traverses; it keeps out OF sight the petty
things about which men cark and bicker, and
leaves no room for the demagogue with practiced
tongue to tell a tale of woe for labor and by appeals
to ignorance, to passion, and to prejudice to array
class against class, employee against employers
and thus sow the seeds of discomfort to terminate
and grow and ripen into a harvest Of hate and
envy.
Such sentiments. expressed upon such an occa-
sion, sound the heart and mind Of the speaker as
the lead sounds the sea, and they do Unreasonable
credit to their author as a man and a manager.
Happy the individual who has such conception
of discipline, of fidelity to obligation and loyalty
to duty all down the line!
And thrice happy should be the railroad COM
pany that has the good fortune to secure a general
manager possessing so great a store OF intellec-
tual resources, and along with that so much of the
rare and indispensable quantity or quality which,
for the want of a stronger and more descriptive
term, we will call the Genius of Common Sense
the Talent of Horse Sense.

CAUSES OF FRICTION AT INDUSTRIAL
INSTITUTE & COLLEGE.

Under the above caption, Hon. E.. T. Sykes'has
published an article which should be carefully read
and preserved by every lover Of truth and justice
in Mississippi who has the good name Of our girls.
and of their college, and the veal and fair fame Of
our State at heart. 7
CAPTAIN Sykesi is an old citizen of Columbus. and
a painstaking, patriotic, systematic observer Of
events, who keeps an especial eye upon every cpl
sode, incident, story or deed that affects the well
fare of his hometown and it's people.
He was a Confederate officer and won distinc-
ton for valuable service first on General Walthalrs
staff, and, later, as assistant adjutant general on
General Jackson,s staf-t...Red' jackson of glori,
Gus cavalry fame earned under the leadership Of
Forrest, who gained the admiration of the civilized
world sby his genius for war and his indomitable
personal prowess. = h
In addition to all that, Captain Sykes is and has
been for a generation a prominent lawyer at the
Columbus bar, and also has served his state with
ability and fidelity in its senate. y
He, therefore. it is plain to see, is peculiarly
well-equipped both by reason of the records to
which he has access, as well as by education and
experience personal knowledge of and familiarity
with the things of which he writes-to discussthe
subject he treats, with fairness, intelligence, and
the courage Of conviction.
Although ordinarily an amiable gentleman,

The peanut crop over the south is
very short and the prices are already
high. l want to urge 1.-THE farmers OF.
Noxubee county to harvest their crop
of peanuts as carefully as possible.
The county needs an up-to-date picker.
It Is very expensive and troublesome to
get a large crop ready for the maFset
picking by hand.
We have an acreage sufficient to JUS
tify some one buying a good picker. II
peanuts bring as much as $l.W per
bushel and you make an average OF 80
bushels per acre, there would be GOOD
money for the farmer, and at the same
time. the upbuilding Of the land which
would be q big help. I feel sure there
are acres in Noxubee this year tina
will yield 60 bushels per acre.

The other day mother cat No. l was

she came back and attempted to
snatch another kitten from the mother
lying by the f1reside, but the latter
was on the alert and set upon the In

Yet a third time did the other
mother come back, for during the
night q tremendous feline squabble
was heard in the attic, and victory
rested with the cat whose kitten had

the Joy of their new-found friendship
changed the world for Bud n Ira
cha. The rainbow that glowed against
the %retreating clouds held fortn ,pore
than a promise of sunshine for tuem,
and they conversed only Of pleasant
things as they rode on up tho trail.
The dangers that still lay between
them and the border seemed yefy re-
mote now, and neither gave item a
thought. There was no n in Ill the
wide world tNt just thesta tvs. his
man and woman who mad found them
selves. 80
Invent: miles ahead lay tie northern
pass. all from>there it was ten
to GadnSen. but they spoke neither OF
the pass nor Of Gadsden nor OF who
would b awaiting them there. Their
talk was like that Of children. incon-
~setquential and happy. They told OF
the times when they had seen each
other, and what they had thought; OF
the days Of their childhood. before
they had met at Fortuna; OF hopes
and fears and thwarted ambitions and
all the young dreams Of life.
Bud told Of his battle-scarred father
and their ranch in Arizona; OF his
mother and horse-breaking brothers,
and his w%anderings through the West;
Gracia Of her mother. with nothing OF
her father, and how she had firted In
order to be sent to school where n
could gaze upon the outstanding Amer.
leans. Only Bud thought OF the tran
and scanned the Eorizon for rebels,
but he seemed mere to seek her eyei
than to watch for snemies and death.
a They rode on uniN the sun sank low
and strange tracks struck their trail
from the east. Bra observed that the
horses were shod. And nor tracks OF
mounted men carsN in beyond. He
turned sharply +c<7A-d the west and
followed a rocky sedge to the hills,
without leaving a footprint to mark
the way of their retreat.
Those hoof prints brought Bud back
from the land of dreams in which
he had been wandering to a realiza-
ton of the dangers that lurked about
them. But a little way ahead was the
pass they must cross, and he sud
denly realized that they could not
safely do SO in the broad light OF
day. He must not take such chances
OF losing his new found happiness.

"A fast limited" was bowling over

and never understood, but as the train
sped along the side of a parched river
1t suddenly left the rails, rolled down
the bank and landed In three feet

natural confusion. Men, women and
