THE EDITOR AND YOU.
A Little Heart to Heart Talk on This
Subject True in BrOOkhayen
as it is Elsewhere.

Did you ever stop to consider
the different treatment accorded
you by the editor and that you ac-
cord him? asks the Macon (Ga).
Times, and then that paper goes on
to say:
IF he should knock your busi-
mes through the columns of his
paper you would nurse the grudge
against him to your grave and as
time rolled by it would grow in
size until you would find it as hard
to roll as baby elephant soaked in
grease. Now, is such the case
with the editor? He hears that
you have ridiculed and run down
his paper. that you have told peo-
uIe on the street that it coul5 not
come to your home. And then you
tell him that your daughter has
graduated. He praises her to the
sky, says she is the pride of the.
community, the smartest thing on
earth and that her parents have
just cause to be proud of her
You can mark your paper 'refus-
ed, stick it back in the postoffice
and boast of it your associates.
humiIiating him it you can. but If
your son gets into trouble or your
daughter misbehaves in church or
elsewhere. rather than hurt her
feelings the editor suppresses ey-
erything connected with the unfor-
tunate case, at the risk of being
called a numbskuII who never can
get hold Of the news. He hears of
your denunciation. feels the sting
of it all. and sometimes suffers f.
nancial loss as a consequence. but
he never uses the columns of his
paper to ''get even". On the
other hand, if you have anything to
boost. he will boost it for you: If
honors come your way he takes
pride in heralding 1T out, and II
death invades your home he will 60
to the bottom Of his heart for ten
der expressions of sympathy and
coincidence for those left to mourn
You might sometimes think of
these things while endeavoring by
words or deeds to beIittle your edi-
tor and his usefulness 10 the COM
munity. You might put higher
polish on your Christianity by fol-
flowing the editors example. :

PEOPLE SHOULD PULL WITH COUNCIL.
City Dads are Doing Their Part and
General Cooperation Should Be
Accorded Them.

The Leader has taken especial
interest in the admirable way the
City Ceuncil has been managing
the city's financial affairs.
The tax assessment in this city is
only 13 l.2 mills, with "Broukha-
ven the prettiest town on the
road. = The tax is smaller than
that in neiRhboring counties snd
it is stated in the state st large:
and, if this brings to notice one
thing more than another. 1t is the
time and thought given the busi-
ness side of our city by the COM
mlttees representing the various
departments of our municipal gov
ernmeTt The men who do this
with the vigorous effort and deter
mined purpose they conduct their
owD business. can never be repaid
In fact. they are so filled with civ
ic pride and conscientious convic-
tion of duty, that they would be
gratified just to know that their eff
forts are recognized and appreciated
by the citizenship of Brookhaven
Now, all this, not as stepping
stone to any criticism; but to a
more widespread civic inter-
est and pride and willingness on
the part of each citizen to bear
with all the others in the burden
of municipal government.
When the future of this section
is considered and the public con-
veniences and advantages of our
city are noted. we should not only
approve and commend the city
dads, but should meet the demands
upon them with readiness to pay
a higher tax for further improve
ment and development. if need be!
And this. not only for the city, but
the county as we'll.
Where reasonable burdens potent
with future prosperity and welfare,
are borne equally they are not op-
pressive; and if they seem so they
bind together in closer fellowship
and community interest those by
whom they are borne and thus de-
velop virtues and hardihood that
make stauncher and stronger and
better citizens
Heroism may be found in the
peaceful walks of life as we'll as
upon the battle field We should
help the Board pull through"
and see that the pull reIaxes by
our own individual efforts, even if
it comes to personal cooperation in
improving streets, erecting public
buildings and IN other manual
employment" in our beloved city's
interest.

"BABY BEEF"

The Leader is GLAD to be able to
define "Baby beef" for the benefit
of those to whom the term is not
transparent.
baby beef in a technical sense
in not merely young beef. 1t is
young beef animal from year TO
a year and a half old that still re-
tains its baby fat. A calf, with a
good supply to begin with. as long
ss it has milk enough from its
mother to satisfy Its hunger,
retains this fat. If natures milk
supply falls short, and there is no
feed to take it's place, the calf
falls off and the baty fat is con-
sumed to supply the needs of nu-
triment. This once lost cannot be
replaced. The calf may be fed
ahundantIy and get fat again. but
the flesh of that animal is never
quite the same as it would have
been had it not been allowed to be-
come thin. There will never be
that fine mingliEg of lean and fat
that makes the highly priced beef
The purpose of the baby beef clubs
is not strictly to produce this
quality of beef, but to feed the
calf SO that the beef 1t makes will
be of superior quality. and to ma
ture it in the shortest possible
time.
The Champion "Baby Beef"
Grower of the World is Miss Ada
Thames of CovinQton County. Mis-
sissippi, who won her title a year
ago in an independent baby beef
club, the first of its kind in this
state. Miss Thames raised a
heifer, Lady Grace" winnin g
first prize in competition with
seventy five others. When the
prize calves were sold at public
auction in the county roundup. she
was offered 1896 for LADY
Grace" land refused to sell. Some
day in the near future she will be
heard of as a producer of superior
stock.

PERKINS NOESENsICAL FEAR.

George w. Perkins is afraid lest
after the war, the cost of living in
the United States be reduced Or
binary people see little to dread in
such prospect. but Perkins is no
ordinary person. He fears that
the war once over, Europeans will
dump LOT of goods on our shores
that we can use. He wants action
taken at once to prevent it. Well.
no one ia going to force Mr., Per-
kins to take any of the stuff if he
doesn't want it. He will be at
liberty to buy as hiRh-priced
made in America" stuff as he
wants. But why should he want to
prevent others with smaller in
comes than he enjoys. from getting
the advantage of lower cost of
living?
Perkins once said very fine
thing. While restifying before the
Commission on Industrial Relations
| he declared that if a traveller on an
airship were to see our great nat
ural resources. comparatively
small population, and the large
number of unemployed. he would
think this was a lunatic asylum.
If that same traveller were to
see foreigners dumping goods on
our shores which We badly need
and earnestly desire, and yet see
us trying to devise legislation tc
keep the stuff away--what would
he think? Would not there not be
ftoo much moderation in his con-
clusion that this was q lunatis
asylum?

Sing Sing Transformer.

Sing Sing. under the ancient re.
gire, was a smothered he'll. Des-
pite the most hideously repressive
measures, vice tiourished, keepers
were bribed, dope was smuggled
in, prisoners escaped. rebellion
smouldered and murder occasional
~ broke out. Cunning was met
with cunning. force with force
All the power of the state could
not keep order.
A mollycoddle and sentimentalist
came along and substituted the law
of love for the law of force, the
rule of right for the rule of might.
AT once the outcasts and deprayed
we're transformed from beasts into
men, vice wlthered, order was
maintained. and for the first time
the germ cf self respect and good
citizenship found soil IN which to
grow. Sing Sing was transform
ed, and transfgured.
Where is the Tom OsbuFne big
enough to apply the principles of
Sing Sing to this warning world?

possible to remember among so
many.
The great crowd of Lincolnites
we're met by brass band at the
Jackson depot and by His Majesty,
Mayor Swep Taylor, whose cordial
greeting set the pace for delight
full day at the Fair. The conspic.
uous badges worn by the people
from Lincoln distinguished every
one with almost as much effect as
the exhibition by the Board of
Trade, superintended by Mr.. !. N.
Click, characterized Lincoln
county. The contingent up for the
day Thursday left Lincoln County
winning blue ribbons and pocket
change" offered as prizes, Mr.
Click had won one prize Of $lOO.
which was divided with another
county that couldn't beat Lincoln.
Mr.. Clicks exhibit was very credit
able indeed. More enterprise and
cooperate on should be shown in
this direction another year.
The Fair generally was full of in
terest. The stack created much en-
mammoth specimens of
horses, cows and mules coming
from Tennessee. Indiana. Ohio, etc.
Tractors were at work demonstrate
ing to planters their marvellous
work Hogs and poultry were ex-
ceptionaI while the Liberal Arts
building and the model dairy dlvid-
ed interest "As You Like 1t. !"
Mr.. L. A. Higgins and Mr.. La
Master were doing full duty in the
latter, while Mrs. Higgins extend
ed courtesies that only she can do
so kindly and graciously. Mrs.
Higgins is a Brookhaven girl that
Lincoln County is proud of.
Mr.. j w. McGrath. the promot-
er of dollar excursions from Lin
coin to Jack son was delighted with
the great crowd. and we are sure
his efforts on behalf of his people
will be redoubled because Ct the
interest that has been aroused by
them and the appreciation mani
tested.
With some regret, because we
want to see Lincoln excel in every
thing, The Leader must state that
the AggIes were badly beaten by
the team from Poplarville. al
though the rallying cry on the
train as it neared Jackson was
Let's beat the Bilpo squad"
They didn't do it.

Large Force is Reported
in Battle South Of Bal .
tic Port
Russ READY TO LEAVE
Teuton Forces Reported TO Have Been
Thurst Back by Cars Troops in
Galicia.

London, Oct. 21.-Battles south oil
Riga, where the Germans have made
some progress in the new thrust at
the Baltic province port, and in Vol
hynia and Galicia, where the Russians
have gained rather important victor
les, are now competing in interest
with the operations in the Balkans.
The Germans have concentrated
very large forces, with great
amount of artillery, south of Riga:
and as a result stubborn battle has
been in progress.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, who
is in command in this region, reported
two days ago that his forces had
reached the River Dvina, but, as or
previous occasions, this broad and
fast running waterway appears to
have held him up for the time being,
The situation, however, is consider
ed by the Russians to be more serious
han it had been for long time, and
there is again talk Of the evacuation
of Riga by the military, who have
been in sole occupation of the city
since the civilian population left q
month ago.
At the other end of the eastern
front the position is just the reverse.
General Ivanoff, who has proved HIM
self to be the most aggressive of the
Russian commanders, has been strik-
ing hard at the Austro-German
forces on the middle Stry and all
along the fringe Of Gaiicia that Is
still in Russian hands. At several
places he has driven his opponents
back. and there is report tonight
that the Austrians have evacuated
CZernowith "a report which finds
some confirmation in an Odessa dis
patch declaring that the Russians
have abandoned their contemplated
evacuation of the northern districts
of Bessarabia.

ANOTHER AERIAL TERROR
Could Destroy Entire Town 100 miles
Away with Single Torpedo

London, Oct. 21-pA device which
is likely to revolutioniZe modern war,
fare has been invented and tested
and will be ready for the market in
very short time. 1T is an aeria!
torpedo and the men who have work
ed out the idea are Elmer A. Sperry.
president of the Sperry Gyroscope
Company of Brooklyn, and his son.
Lawrence B. Sperry.
Particulars of the newest engine
of death were given yesterday by
Lawrence B. Sperry, who is in Eng
land in connection with the business
the Sperry concern is doing at the
British admiralty.
IF carried out on large scale the
Sperry scheme would make possible
the destruction of whole town with
single torpedo, and the lombard
ment of cities as far distant as 10C
miles could be carried on without
@isk of single life By the assailants.
What the plan amounts to is this
An aerOplane, complete. with the ex
ception Of landing gear. is construct
ted and fitted with gyroscopic COM
pass and stabilizer. The torpedo
bearing anywhere from 800 pounds t.
five tons of tri-nitro- -tclumine, is sci
N place. From syH;17i.!l;;: G:raneef
launching cradle the craft is sent
into the air.
The direction to be taken by the
flying bomb can be determined by
scientific calculations, and gyroscopic
compass will insure true course.
The stabilzer can be so set and
rauged that theyplane will rise at any
angle. At whatever height the ad.
iustment of the stabli2er calls FOR.
the machine will automatically as
;ume horizontal course, fy pre-
determined distance along that course
and then descend at the. desired
angle. The machine can be made &c

GIRLS FACE SLASHED.

Philadelphia, Oct. 21.-Alfia Russo,
81 years old, No. S32. south Ninth
street. who was nearly kidnapped sew
eral month ago in Washington Square
by three men in taxicab, was slashed
across the face yesterday morning
and disfgured for life. She told the
police that her assailant was a for
mer sweetheart and the police are
searching for him.
According to the young woman's
story she was going to work, and
while waiting for car at Ninth and
Catharine streets was attacked. The
man. she said, sprang at her, and,
holding her by the shoulders, cut a
cash across her left cheek from ear
to chin.
She screamed for help and several
passersby ran to her assistance. Her
assailant, however, made his escape
The young woman was taken to the
Pennsylvania Hospital, where the cut
was sewed up.
