3 ANSWER TO JoHNSoN.-I would
like to say few words in answer to
Elmer H. Johnson's article, which
appeared in the Sept. 13 issue of The
Day Book, his article being an an
swer to mine of the 18th inst.
1t is not now, and never has been,
my contention that those who do not
agree with me in point of religion are
not susceptible to truth. Far be it
from such. Our religion does not
teach that those outside of our re-
igion cannot be saved. We do not
object to any person serving God as
they see fit. We do object to those
who pose at patriots" and accuse
the Catholics of not being patriotic.
Their claim is that we owe allegiance
to the pope and not to the president
of the United States. Nothing is fur
Their from the truth. We recognize
the pope as the head of our religion,
but he has nothing whatever to say
to us in temporal matters. The pres
ident has the say so there.
If Mr.. Johnson will study the his
tory of centuries ago he will find that
it is just one persecution after an
other. When a Catholic monarch
was in power he prosecuted those
outside the church, and when a non
Catholic monarch was in power ne
prosecuted the Catholics. Did you
ever read about the catacombs, Mr..
Johnson? The catacombs were tun-
nels which were built underground
and which were used for church pur-

TO Mississippi says:
Last year Mississippi shipped
S6,229 head of cattle TO the ST.

owners took back to the state
more than $3,5O0000 in cash.
Owing to the long stagnation in
cotton, the ready cash market for
cattle is causing Mississippi
planters to give more eonsldera-
tion to increasing and improving
their herds in the future"
The cattle raising industry is
now well under way, and in the

of the boil weevil was a blessing

OF his audience. His subject was

closely the relation between the
two and how they reacted on
each other. He stated that he
knew of no locality in this

of Columbus could fully realize

through the address was the
main idea. that we should con-
serve and develop what we have
already in our soils which, if in
telligently developed would prove
sufficient to give us abundantly
all we desire in wealth and oros-
perity.
There were many of the lead
ing farmers from the different
parts of the county present as
well as leading business men.
They all expressed their appreci-
alton of DIR. Taylor's address and
regretted that every man in the
county did not hear it.
