At the death of the owner it was

We are very anxious to find older

The oldest cotton bale paragraph
printed in The News has stirred up
no end of discussion. c. Y. Truitt,
president of the Unity Cotton Mills,
La Grange, Ga. challenges the claim
of f. T. Wilburn, of Laurel, Miss, TO
possession of the Methuselah Of bales.
Mr.. Truitt writes:
Mr. r. NJ Jones, of this Group
county, has a bale stored in his ia
theirs home near La Grange, that he
inherited from his father, who grew
and packed his bale in 1868. The
ties are those originally used, but the
bagging has been renewed. The ties
are about three times as heavy as
those now used. This bale was ex-
hibited at the ST. Louis fair in 1904.
The writer drew a sample from this
bale about two months ago and found
the staple grows better with age"
And the Lesser-Goldman Cotton
Company, of St Louis rises to re-
mark:
'If this the Wilburn bale was
grown only thirty-six years ago it is
certainly an infant in comparison
with a bale which is stored in our
office. The bale came from West
Point, Miss, in 1904 or 1905. The
First National Bank, of West Point,
wrote us at that time that this bale
was grown about 1860 by slave labor
and was owned by Mr.. John Pedan, of
Oktibsbo county, Mississippi"
Other states and counties are to be
heard from.
Without questioning the claims of
Mr.. Truitt and the Lesser-Goldman
Company. 1t still appears that their
bales lack one qualification that
makes the Wilburn bale unique. 1t
inspires affection Mr.. Wilburn, it is
declared, has become SO attached to
ii that he prizes it above money 1t
has become, SO to speak, one of the
household gods.
AS such it still remains a candidate
for place in the Cotton Valhalla.

merce and Finance" (which most cot
ton people subscribe to-, has recently
started a discussion in reference to
the oldest bale in the world. While
this discussion does not affect our
present market, it is of interest not

WOMEN WOULD SAVE OLD
CAPITOL OF MISSISSIPPI

The neglect of the old statehouse at
Jackson has aroused the patriotism of
the women of Mississippi. Individual
ly and through their clubs they have
lined up behind a bill to be presented
10 the next session of the Legislature,
having for it's object the preservation
of the historic building. To that end
the following appeal is made to the
legislators:
ITO the Honorable Members of the
Senate and the House of Represen-
tatiYes:
"Gentlemen-One of the important
bills to come before the Legislature is
that which has for its object the pres
ervation and restoration of Mississip-
pi's old statehouse In discussing the
measure these questions naturally
arise Is it wise to preserve the build
ing? Is it general custom to pre-
serve historic buildings? Does the
preservation of such buildings serve
a useful purpose? Can the building
he preserved? Is there useful pur-
pose to which it may be dedicated? II
these questions can be answered salts
factorily there should be no hesitancy
upon the part of the representatives
of the state in securing to the state
this valued record of its past.
1T is the purpose of this appeal to
endeavor to show that it is both prac-
tical and wise to preserve this his
toric building. II there is one passion
which has in the past more than all
others controlled the American people,
il is love OF country This is shown
on every page of recorded history
since the settlement of jamestown. 1t
Is, also. shown in concrete form in the
preservation OF historic sites and build
ings throughout the country. Nothing
encourages patriotism more than the
conservation of the records of the
achievements. of peoples past, and
that legislation which has had for its
object the fostering and encourage
ment ofsspatriotism and devotion to
country, should be approved by every
good citizen. That it is wise then to
preserve the records connected with
the life and institutions of.sthe state
which strengthen patriotism is readily

admitted, and answers the first ques-
ton
THE second question, Is it gen.
eral custom to preserve historic build
ings?' admits of no argument Even
the casual student of history finds that
this custom has prevailed among all
civilized nations. In order, however,
to bring the truth home to those whose
present duty is to create wise and help
full legislation for the state, few
examples are cited from the southern
states: The sacred shrines of Vir-
ginia have been preserved for posteri-
ty with jealous care. Mount Vernon,
the home of Washington; Monticello,
the home of Jefferson; Arlington, the
home of Robert L. Lee; the capitol of
the Confederate States at Richmond;
ST. Johns Churt.', where Patrick Hen
nv delivered his famous utterances,
Give me liberty or give me death; the
White House q the Confederacy, and
many others too numerous to mention.
Other states :: we'll as Virginia are
engaged in th patriotic work of pre-
serving their historic buildings. Ala
bama has PR served the first capitol
of the ConfeGeracy; Tennessee, the
Hermitage. az Louisiana, tho Cabildo.
Is MISSISSIPPI not controlled Ly -"
same high aspiration. Will its peo-
pie sit supnely by and see the only
historic building within its borders
doomed to destruction?
1.-The third question is, Does the
preservation of historic buildings
serve a useful purpose? The educa-
tional value of historic buildings can
be traced through the history of the
world From the remote time when
David was stirred by Divine aspiration
to erect temple in Jerusalem to rep
resent not only the religious life and
ideals of Israel, but the national life
of the people. as well, the value of any
structure with which has been asociat-
ed the history of a people has been
recognized ny all enlightened nations.
and the preservation of such structures
has always been regarded as the duty
of the people. Every land. whether
enlightened or not. has shrines to which
its people point with pride. The prim-
tive peoples and pagan nations fash.

MANY DISEASES ARE
CARRIED BY CANNES

Washington, d. c., Dec. 16.-The dog
in the country is a useful and pleasant
adjunct to the farm if lie is properly
controlled and cared for, but when
neglected, may readily become car
rier of disease TO stock. in addition to
gaining opportunity TO kill sheep and
destroy gardens and other property.
Dog ordinances, as general rule,
have been intended chiefly to curb
the dogs power of doing harm by
attacking, biting, killing or running
sheep or stock. The part that he
plays as q Carrier of diseases to ami
mails only recently has been recogniz-
ed, according to the biologists of the
Department of Agriculture, who be-
lieve that when this is better under
stood. rural ordinances and laws
which lessen this danger will gain
the support of the community.
OF the diseases carried to stock
by dogs, the foot-andmouth disease
is probably of the greatest interest at
this time In this case the dog acts
as mechanical carrier of infection.
The dog which runs across an infect
ed farm easily may carry in the dirt
on his feet the virus of this most con-
tagious of animal diseases to other
farms and thus spread the disease to
the neighboring herds. In infected
localities it is absolutely essential,
therefore, to keep all dogs chained
and never to allow them off the farm
except on lesh.
There are, however. many other
maladies in the spread of which the
dog takes an active part In Bulletin
300 of the United States Department
of Agriculture 1.-The Dog as a Car
rier OF Parasites and Disease" it is
pointed out that rabies, hydatd, ring
worm, favus. double-pored tapeworm.
rOundworm. and tongueworm are oft

way 1t occasionally happens also
that the dog helps fleas and ticks in
transmitting bubonic plague of the
deadly spotted fever.
Hydatid disease is caused by the
presence in the liver, kidneys, brain
lungs. and other organs, of a blad-
der worm or larval tapeworm. Blad
der worms are often as large as an
orange and may be larger A dog

The tapeWorms in turn develop eggs
which are passed out in the eXcrement
of the dog. They are spread broad

and thus become infected The hog
IS particularly liable to this disease
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1915-12-16

because of its roofing habits. The
eggs may get into human food, and
persons who allow dogs to lick their
hands and face also run the risk of
getting the eggs Of the tapeworm in
their systems.
Prevention on the farm consists in
so restricting the deg that he can not
get. at carrion or raw viscera. Wis
cera should be boiled before being
fed to the dogs and should never be
thrown on the fields If not cooked
and fed, viseera and carcases should
= burned, buried with lime, or so
disposed of as not to be accessible to
dogs. Proper feeding of the dog is
essential. and the owner who does not
feed a dog properly has no right 70

The parasite which causes sd IL
sheep somewhat resembles the hyda-
It'd worm A dog allowed to eat the
brain of a giddy sheep may swallow
this parasite and later distribute the
eggs of the resulting tapeworm over

the people. The only way to educate
people is to providt them with proper
mental food and surround them with
such influence and legislation as will
be conducive to good citizenship. We
might appropriate every dollar in the
state treasury for the advancement OF
the cause of education, but if we do
not at the same time instill into the
minds Of the children of the state
true appreciation of their own history
as people, we have failed miserably
in our guardianship of them. If we
have taught them by actual example to
treat with Indifference their past
achievement, to neglect and let the rec
crds of it fall into state of ruin and
delay, we shall in the end have little
to show for the large sums appropriate
ed for their education, since if the
right aspirations and ideals are not
fostered in an individual or a race
not stand the severe test of the touch
stone.
Many errors of judgment arise
from illogical methods of reasoning
For instance, we are very anxious to
educate the children of the state to
that degree where they will inevitably
appreciate history. Would it not be
illogical to at the same time remove
from their own locality and state the
records of their own hiotory? In other
words, we would make it possible for
them to acquire that education which
makes them appreciate Westminster
Abbey, but would at the same time
doom them to the unhappy belief that
their own state had nothing worthy of
preservation, thereby lessening their
self-resrect, which is the most impor.
tant part of all education. You can
readily see that when YOU have educat-
ed child to appreciate the great his
torical sources of other lands, he will
not appreciate the fact that You have
removed and destroyed the like
sources of his own state.
I'm making this appeal to our rep
resentatives we present the wishes of
the women of Mississippi. 1t does not
come from any particular town or sec
ton but from all over the great com
monweaith, where our lawmakers live.
This voice emanates from the fireside.
from which atmosphere you will agree
that the safest counsel comes. Today
it is pleading against the longer nelect
of our sacred past, for we'll we know
that in the loss of the only historic
public building in the state Mississippi
would receive a wound in her best life
and aspiration, which would be slow
