orIaIn Of Christening Shin.

The ceremony of christening ships
Is survival of a barbaric custsn
when sacrifices were made TO the
gods. and SOME living victim OF oifcr-
Ing was held up and its throat cut SO
that the blood flowed over the prov
OF the ship being launched. The ves-
sci was baptized in warm blood. Now
sprsskling wine or pure water is used,
and the change has many Advantages.
though the symbolism remains.

the past few that such great interest.
has been manifested along this line
Many families from the North have
come 10 this section and made ior
themselves homes in this and adloIn.
ing counties, and they have been
welcome acquisitions. They have
demonstrated themselves as farmers
who know their business, and by
their thrift and knowledge have
added largely to the material wealth
Of the country. There are vet acres
upon acres Of good tlllable land In
this county, and the following figures
will show as 10 how we stand In
comparison 10 the other two counties
on this coast Harrison county leads
the list with 2,lSS acres in cultiva-
ton, with SOL SOP acres set uncul-
tlvated; Jackson comes next with
ll,20S acres cultivated, and lll, loo
acres still in an uncultlvated condl-
ton; Hancock county comes with
S,752 acres cultivated, and 2S7 ,665
acres untouched. We could give
figures as to the State in general,
but the above will suffice to show
what is In store for this portion Of
the State What we need is this
vast area to be placed in a state of
cultivation, and not only that, but
we should see a great deal of this
land used for stock raising. We
have the climate and are greatly
blessed by nature, for with the long
season wherein 10 plant crops and Ia
garner them safely, with the winters
when live stock can be practically
outside all the year, what more could
we desIre3 This county has been
working for some time now in the
making Of good roads, and the dues-
ton OF transportation cannot now be
a drawback, fer wherever you 70 ut
this time you will see fine roads
leading an over the county, and
with this work being kept up by our
board Of supervisors, there is no
doubt but that a few years will see
this county 10 possession of the
finest class Of good roads 10 be found
anywhere in this country.

and new that it is to be prolonged
until June will be leaned with re-
gret by the rght-thnking people Of
the State. That two such Offices
should be the butt Of ridIcule and
abuse is a pity, and we hope the day
will soon come when men can be
chosen to fill these exalted positions
with credit to themselves and honor
to the commonwealth. This EN-.
broglio has been a shame and dis
credit and should be stopped right
now.
