Jackson, Miss, Feb. 2.-According
to figures compiled by the weather bu-
reau the rainfall in Mississippi during
the month of January was the smallest
ever recorded. At no point in the state
did the precipitation exceed 2.25 inches
and at majority of the observation

cotton crop ever pitched in that sec

weevil cannot damage the crop serious
ly in that section, land owners are 60
ing to put all available acreage in cul-
tivation, and it is estimated that a
F, twenty per cent increase in acreage
will be shown. A large amount OF new
land has been cleared during the win

hill counties In search Of negroes.
Many. thousands of negro families have
moved out Of the hills into the delta
during the past few days.
Encouraging reports are received
from the truck farming section where
a big increase Of acreage is to be plant
ed this year. The principal trouble in
the truck farming districts ia the
scarcity of labor.

VOGUE OF PHOTO SPECTACLE.

Remarkable in every way is the
great success of D'AnnunZiO'S "Cab
iria," which will be at the Ben All
Theatre, Lexington, August 81, and
which is demonstrating anew the
great popular interest in this class Of
amusement, the photo spectacle. Ow
ing to the capacity of the Ben Ali
"Cabiria" is playing to a greater
number of people than have ever
witnessed a motion picture show here
and the vogue does not seem to be
confined to this metropolis alone, as
the same results have been obtained
wherever this film has been exhib
tied.
Long before the American presen
tation word came from Europe of
the sensational records of "Cabiria'
in the leading Grand Opera Houses
of Italy, Spain and Germany, and its
premiere in France is scheduled for
this month at the new Opera Champs
EIyess, in Paris.
The only other booking for this
stupendOus photO-spectacle during the
summer will be San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Cleveland. In the lat
ter city Mr.. e. F. Albee has placed
the Keith's Hippodrome at Messrs.
Werba and Luescher's dipOsal; in
San Francisco it is to be presented in
cooperation with Mr.. Fred BelascO
at the Gaiety, and IN Salt Lake City
it has been secured through strong
Mormon interests and will be pre-
sented at the Utah Theatre with the
famous tabernacle chorus and a SYM
phony orchestra accompaniment.
During the coming season ten com
panies will tour Throughout America
with a complete organization, large
orchestra and chrous and with all the
dignity and Importance of tremend-
Gus dramatic spectacle such as mis-
met" or ben Hur" in the high class
theatres. Reserved seats at all per-
formances. (adv)

the evil resulting from the abuse OF
it's use, then it would be reasonable
to tear every mans tongue from his
throat Like liquor, fire, and water,
the tongue has dual nature. It's
use is proper Infinite evil resultes
from it's abuse.
| If the priciple of prohibition is
sound, it would be proper to forbid
the exercise of all natural passions.
The pathway to hell is literally paved
with the wrecks of men and women
who were ruined by the abuse of
natural passions.
If the logic and philosophy of pro-
hibitiOn can be recOnciled with rea-
son, idiocy is wisdom, slavery right,
and freedom is a crime.
People constantly abuse liberty:
Yet nothing could be more unreasOn-
able than to reduce men and women
to the status of wooden Indians or
legal jumping jacks on that account.
The utter absurdity of prohibition
will occur to every reasonable person
who stops to consider that society
trusts you with liberty to go to hell.
The State trusts you with liberty to
commit murder, but prOhibitionists
refuse to trust you with liberty to
make, sell, or buy scuttle of suds.
A man gets sick. You send for a
doctor. You give the sick man medi
cine, but you do not compel every
man in town to take medicine be-

be unreasonable Yet this is the logic,
the doctrine, the philosophy and the
practice of prohibition.
God gave man freedom of choice
when he gave them reason. Without
personal liberty, reason would be a
joke.
1t is utterly absurd to imagine that
you can run society on the principle
of an insane asylum or penitentiary.
When a man needs keeper, he ought
to be kept where he can do the least
possible harm.
We oppose prohibition not because
we want to drink, but because it is
contrary to reason. Our opponents
will try to defend prohibition by at
lacking the liquor business. In SO
doing they will admit the weakness of
their case. You cannot defend a pro-
position by attacking something else.
Prohibition as principle must

and Elizabeth Hedges Grimes. of
Bourbon County. After the death of
Mr.. Grimes, Mrs. Grimes moved to
Paris with her daughters and lived on
Duncan Avenue, where Mrs Talbot
continued to reside until a few years
ago, when the family moved to a
farm near Austerlitz, in this county.
Mrs. Talbot is survived by her
husband, one of the best known attor-
neys in the State, and a partner of
Hon. Robert Franklin and w. H.
Whitley; by four daughters, Mrs.
Wade H. Whitley, of Paris; Mrs. Vir-
gil Gaitskill, Misses Mary Adams
Talbot and Anna Mcmillan Talbot,
and one son, Robert Talbot, Jr., all
of whom live at Austerlitz, and one
devoted sister, Miss Elizabeth
Grimes, who makes her home with
the Talbot family. Three young
grandchildren also survive.
Mrs. Talbot was one of the most
prominent and popular women in
Bourbon County She was actively
interested in every movement for the
improvement of the community, a de-
voted member of the Christian
Church and its societies, the c.. w.
b. M. and the Women's Society, re-
gent of the local chapter of d. A. R.,
prominent club woman, a member
OF the Paris Literary Club and also
of the w. G. T. u. But she was es-
pecially interested in her large fam
lily, attending personally to the edu-
cation and development of her chill
dren, allowing nothing to interfere
with her care of them.
In the passing away of Mrs. Tai
bolt, Paris and Bourbon county loses
one of its most lovable characters.
She was good, not artificial piety, but
good in the deep strength of the fun
damental virtues that make good wO-
men. Her goodness lay in the
strength of her humanities. Her love
was strong but beautiful because it
was loyal
Her kindness to the weak, the sick,
was sweet to know. There was no
method in it. 1t simply pushed her
to continued helpfulness and thought
fulness for the sorrow of others.
Whatever or whoever was weak or
unfortunate or treated unjustly was
a challenge to her which she took
up instantly.
The deep sancities of her nature
were not the kind that lead to isola.
ton; they were the kind to live with.
Those who saw her daily were the
ones who loved her most. She was
the sort of human being one would
turn to in trouble, whether you were
sinner or sinned against, and be sure
of defense and a welcome. Her
heart was very great and wide. and
whoever lodged there was never cast
out.
Funeral services will be conducted
at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr..
Wade HI. Whitley, this afternoon, at s
O'Clock. Burial in the Paris Gene
