NOT ENCOURAGING TO COTTON FARMER.

There is little of the pessimist about US and We do not believe
in crossing a bridge before we get to II, hut we are almost ready to
believe that we have about reached the bridge when it comes to
what we may expect for the present cotton crop. Facts are facts
aud We had Just as well look them squarey in the face. If the price
vas depressed last season by the European war what reason is there
to base the hope upon of less depression this season? Not only is
the war more far reaching than it was last fall, but the whole world
now stands appalled, and Great Britain has declared cotton contra
band. Some might say, why still further depress our people by
publishing this state of facts?' Our answer is: 1t is time we who
make cotton were learning that we must get ourselves in an attitude
financially that we re able to stand alone. It is time that we who
AXE cotton should look beyond the present. 1t is time that all of
us should practice economy and learn over those ideas of frugalty
and of domestic virtue which made of our parents stalwart men and
women. men and women who were able to carve out this great gov
eminent of ours.
The world is not going to do for the farmer who makes Gotten
and for US who have our all staked on cotton any more than it does
Tor any other class or calling. Science and the rule of reason must
direct the cotton world otherwise we shall continue to be beset by
every business disaster or disturbance any other part Of the country
is heir to.
The wise cotton farmer will prepare for very low prices. then if
the wheel of fortune brings higher prices, he is better off than the
man who pinned over conditions and failed to try to adjust his affairs
to the i'll wind.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE ONE OF ITS CLASS.

The unwaranted arraignment of the whole South by the Chi
~cago Tribune because of the lynching OF Frank, betrays a weakness
and a prejudice highly unbecoming in a great newspaper, and is just
about a reasonable d to say that because one member of a family
should be afflicted with hydrophobia that all the Others of that
household delight in that malady. There is no defense to be made
of the Franklynching and fortunately there are few, very few, that un-
dertake to make excuses for the spirit OF anarchy and savagery that
prompted it. But while the Tribune is pointing out the mote in our
eyes it should also be seeking somebody's aid to get the one out of
its own. Unfortunately for the Tribune it has not shed enough of
the past not to feel Just a bit pleased at any embarrassment or dis
aster that comes to the South. There is still a small number of
people scattered throughout the North that share the sentiment of
the Tribune Just as there are a few reckless, trothing people in the
South who ire never better pleased than when pointing out the
faults and bad things in the North, but happily this class grows less
and less year by year in both sections. For every one hanged by a
mob in the South there are two murdered by single handed individu-
ais in the North. This class in tbs North have such a spirit of dew
1ty in their hearts that II does not take association with Others to
make them tear of the mask of civilization and embolden them to
shed human blood.
Yes. there IRE many things that happen IN both the North and
the South that makes the better and more Iawabiding people shud-
der but the good holds sway in the hearts and the minds Of a vast
majority in both sections and nobody but the mongrel vendor would
seek to blacken the good name of either section by pinioning its
people to shocking tragedies that every home-loving man revolts at.

Every citizen of the state who is concerned for the future of the
commonwealth. now that Bilbo has been nominated, would natur
ally prefer that he do good rather than evil. Those who love the
state because of its sacred memories and who hope that our bright

TO aiding the best things in the state. We have repeatedly stated
IN these columns that We believe that there was more of the good
than of the bad in the average man and we would not be less CHAIR

the past, he has an opportunity, a chance, that has rarely come to

other chance. but in the last analysis, the state of Mississippi is not

The Postal System.
From the Indianapolis News.


One hundred and forty years ago this
week Postmaster Benjamin Franklin
took over the private mail system
which had undertaken the delivery of
letters in this country, and made it a
government institution. The system
then consisted of thirty postoffices,
nine post riders and a slow schooner
line to the Atlantic coast points. To-
day there are Sc, 600 postoffices in the
United States postal system, and the
department employs 300, 900 persons.
In the early days when Franklin still
had charge OF the system nothing was
supposed to be carried but letters, al
though the carriers occasionally took
weekly papers and packages as a spec
ial favor. As late as 1880 one small
leather pouch was large enough to hold
all the mail bound south from New
York in one day. Today the depart
ment makes use of 1900, 600 mail sacks.
Until 1S47 there were no postage
stamps in general use in the United
States. The postal agents collected in
cash for each piece of mail matter.
This took time and caused so much
trouble that, taken together with the
uncertainty of the roads, the price Of
postage was very high and the sending
of a letter was an event not infre-
quently attended with considerable
ceremony. At that time it cost about
rs cents to send a letter 400 miles. In
l847 5 and 10-cent stamps were issued.
In 1851 the letter rate was fixed at 8
cents, and in 1883 the present 2.cent
rate was established. Today over 49,
600, 900, 900 stamps of ali kinds are
sold annually. These figures indicate
to a certain extent the growth of a
government department which has al
ways responded with celebrity to the
demands of the times.
The citizens of this generation have
u to be satisfied with the general
attainments of the p~ostofice. 1t has
been 80 organized that the prompt COL
lection and delivery of letters is taken
as a matter of course. The extension
of the service into rural districts has
lone as much to bring the farmer into
close communication with the business
world as anything else. and the facili-
ties for prompt and efficient delivery
between large business centers have
been developed to a point where the
miscarriage of a letter is rare.

TO A|L|NC WOMEN
A Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many a Sufferer i'm Grenada.

No woman should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off in the Sc
cretions when the kidneys are well. are
retained in the body when the kidneys
are d~isordered. If the kidneys and
bladder become inflamed and swollen
worse troubles may quickly follow.
This is often the cause of bearing-down
pains, )ameness. backache, etc. Uric
poisoning is also frequent cause of
headache, dizzy spells, langour, ner-
vousness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that has proven eff
fective in thousands of cases. Let a
Grenada woman tell of her experience.
Mrs. D. B. Phillips, SOB Second St.,
Grenada, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
are certainly fine kidney medicine. My
experience with them warrants my
recommending them to others as the
one reliable medicine for backache and
other troubles, caused ny the kidneys.
Their use has saved me a great deal of
suffering from these complaints"
Price Soc at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Phil

WHEN TO USE THE DRAG

Roads in the neighborhood of Mos
COW are better this spring than they
have ever been before at this time of
year. While the condition is partly due
to the exceptionally fine spring we
have had, no little credit is due to
the road drag which is being more
and more generally used. Whether
the users of road drags have followed
the best practice or not. every road on
which the drag has been used at all
shows its good effects, but there is
still room for Improvement.
Il may venture to assert" says one
of our correspondents, "that every
farmer in Latah County knows that
If he works his fields when the ground
is wet the soil will bake. Knowing
that we might expect that our road
ged when they are wet and will bake
hard, and when the ranchers cannot
work in their fields. Dragging the
roads after they are dry is a poor
method The ground being hard, lit
tie can be accomplished beyond knock
ing off the bigger bumps, and instead
of having a smooth surface that will
harden and shed the next rain, we
have a soft porous surface that will
be ground up into dust quickly in dry
weather and will absorb water readily
and make very muddy roads after the
next rain. The drag must be used
while the roads are still wet to get
the best results"
