Fayette county has had lot of very
unpleasant publicity in recent months,
but to these who live here it is known
that much of this publicity has been
unwarranted and has been brought
about by touch Of yellow journalism,
the like of which has seldom been seen
outside the largest cities in the world.
The good citizens of this county deplore
as much as any in the whole land many
things that have happened here to give
rise to this burst of yellow journalism,
and it can be said that nobody on earth
can deal with conditions that Fayette
county has experienced except it be
done by actual residents of commune
ties affected. Distance certainly alters
wonderfully the acts and opinions of
people, and if the authors of some of
the unjust and unwarranted attacks
which have been made upon the people
of Fayette county lived here as others
of us do, then truly would they see
matters thru a very different light.
They cannot have the view point which
has inspired our people. There are no
better citizens on earth than right here
in this county; and as for US we are
ready and willing to defend their hon.
esty of purpose, their good citizenship,
their desire to obey the laws of the
land, as long as we have the powers of
speech and use of pen.

To Patrons of Rural Routes.

Did you know that your mail services
are likely to be impaired? Did you know
that rural mail services are going to
have general shaking up all over this
country? And the public roads are GO
ing to be great big factor in what
kind of service you will get. There
will be a government post Office inspec.
tor here this summer to make a gener-
al inspection of all the roads on all the
routes in this county. And a great
deal depends on his report, what kind
Ct mail service you will have IN the
future. Now this is fair warning to
people and mail carriers, they should
see that roads are put in the best
possible condition just as soon as they
reasonably can, for we can't tell what
time this inspector will be here, but
will be here sometime this summer.
And all the patrons should have boxes
well erected on good sound posts, and
their names plainly affixed. A CARRIER.

Some Forms of Rheumatism
Durable.

Rheumatism is a disease characteriz-
ed by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms are.
Acute and Chronic Rheumatism,
Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatic Rheu-
matism and Lumbago. All of these
types can be helped absolutely by APP
plying some good liniment that pene-
trates. An application of Sloan's Lini-
ment two or three times day to the
affected part will give instant relief.
Sloan's Liniment is good for pain, and
especially Rheumatic Pain, because il
penetrates to the seat of the trouble,
soothes the afflicted part and draws the
pain. ''Sloan's Liniment is all medi.
cine." Get 25c. bottle now. Keep
it handy in case of emergency. adv. 81

A gentleman in The Falcon Office re-
Gently from along the Loosahatchie
bottom informed US that he has heard
much shooting in the bottom already
this spring and that parties have been
mentioned as having hunted squirrels
often. The squirrel season does not
open until July and those who love the
sport should see to it that every man
who shoots squirrels during these early
spring months is dealt with as the law
prescribes. Law-abiding citizens thru
out the county are deprived Of hunting
altogether by the practices of those
who do not mind breaking the law. If
this promiscuous hunting continues
long the game will be extinguished be-
fore the season legally opens and when
the citizen who needs the law wants to
hunt after the legal season is on he will
find nothing to shoot. Concerted ac-
ton on the part of the law-abiding
sportsmen can break up this early and
out-of-season shooting.

In an editorial last Sunday the Com
mercial-Appeal says heretofore the bur-
den of taxation has fallen on the cities.
Our esteemed contemporary has GER
tainly taken the word of city politicians
for the truth of this statement, and
not the relative assessments in city and
country. We challenge the CONNER
cial-Appeal or any other authority to
establish its assertion by comparison in
assessments on city and country prop
erty. 1t is a universal condition that
the large property holder pays taxes on
only small part of his holding, while
the man of small property pays taxes
on its approximate market value.
Right here in Fayette county the big
plantation is assessed at less per acre
than is the small farm, the $4,000. 90
home il assessed at less per dollar value
than is the 81, 100000 home, and thru
out the land the man or corporation of
large holdings escapes a part of the
taxes that he should pay, while the lit
tie man cannot hide his holdings from
the assessor. The corporations are
largely domiciled in the cities, more
city jewellers are large property owners,
and hence the country counties and dis.
tricts today are paying into the state
more taxes for each dollar of property
than are the cities-that is, taxes ait
falling heaviest on the country. on the
man Of small means.

If the Bowers bill which prohibits
legal executions ever becomes a law
such scenes as this county witnessed
last week will become common in this
state, and there is no getting around
it. Our people are as much opposed to
violence as any people, but the very
knowledge that there can be no legal
execution will lead men to commit
crimes for which civilized people will
never submit.
