any phenomenon that confronts him
Naturally he is great admirer
of all cowardly assassinations under
the "unwritten law" and of the
most brutal lynchings in which there
is any trace of sex interest. Regard
ing good many lynchings the in
evitable sentimentalist hobs up with
the apology that they were, after all,
an effect of the peculiar sanctity in
which women were held by the
lynchers.
IF You should inquire a little you
would find that this sentimental
sanctity does not in the least in
volve an effort to make life in any
way brighter for women. 1t does not
involve trying to get shorter hours
or higher wages for her If she is a
breadwinner, or greater security fo-
her rights If she is a wife, or the
protection of the ballot. A commun-
ity of true sentimentalists would
never let women vote.
This sentimental sanctity means
holding women fast as a masculine
possession. The man who assassi-
mates or lynches is never protecting
'r avenging women. He is always
protecting and avenging his own
masculine pride of possession, be-
'ause, with his poor mushy head, he
utterly unable to understand wom-
IN except as an object of that mas
uline pride of possession.
The sentimentalist is not at ell
Interested in tightening woman's
york, improving her political status,
r doing anything else that tends to
1ake her freer. He wants her to
e dependent on him. In that con-
ition he will make her some slob-
cry phrases and cheerfully murder
hoover shocks his sentimental in
he feels quite sure
can do it with perfect safety 10

The Mendenhall case was called
for trial today in the circuit court
at Clearwater. Public attention all
over South Florida is fixed on the
case and public sentiment is loudly
calling for a prompt disposal of the
issue on its merits. A battle of
wits between lawyers on flaws in
the indictment and other technical
trivialities having nothing to do
with the guilt or innocence of the
defendant may be interesting to the
lawyers themselves, but this is lust
the KIND of case in which the public
will not appreciate an entertainment
of that character.

The Punta Gorda Herald SAYS
there are many fairs to be held in
FLORIDA the coming, winter and pro-
ceeds to mention them, but, strange
~ enough omits one of the most i'm
portant. the Polk county fair, to be
held in Lakeland next February
The Herald also suggests that Lee.
DeSoto and Polk counties should
unite and have tri-county fair at
Arcadia. Why Arcadia? What's
the matter with Lakeland?

Department of Food and Drugs

Upon Investigation, this department
iinds that it has been time-honored
custom for people in the country TO
place in containers, sorghum molasses,
maple syrup and honey as well as va
rious farm products, for the purpose
Of placing on market. They seem to
be unaware that the State laws spe-
cifcally state that they shall contain
no salicyEc acid as preservative, il
Sodium Benzoate is used for this pur-
pose, it shall not be over one tenth.
of one per cent, and SO stated on the
label.
Also that containers shall bear a.
label, and il contents are adulturated|
or colored in any manner it must be
so stated on the label. The label at.
the same time, must state the net
weight Of contents. It has come to
our notice that the producers in the
rural community are selling these
commodities without following cut
any Of the above instructions.
take this occasion to warn them
as we'll as the merchants purchasing
same and re-selling to his patrons,
that we will be compelled to prosecute
all parties concerned, under the laws
Of this State. Our reasons for this
are manifold We find that in q large
number Of cases. goods are being
adulturated ard that short weight is
being given, and that there can be no
check made upon the matter as lopg
as containers 10 not carry labels Of
any description. Merchants will be
warned that hereafter should inspect
ors Of this Department find goods Of
any character on their shelves, such
as suggested above, they shall imme-
diately condemn and prosecute The
offenders as violating the Sanitary
Food law Of this State.
sincerely hope that the good peo-
pie Of this community will recognize
the reasons We have for taking this
action and will cooperate with US by
following out the law in every detail.
Any one upon request to this De-
partment will BE furnished with a

A GREAT TENNESSEE ORCHARD.

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Ex-
tension, University OF Tennessee.)
At Lansing, Morgan county, there
has been planted during the past three
years an orchard covering 400 acres Of
land, and the planting is only begun.
Thousands of peach trees came into
bearing this year, the owners estimst-
ing the crop at one-half bushel per
tree
The trees are vigorous, with rich,
dark green foliage and an abundance
of new. wood for next years crop. The
young apple trees could not look more
promising. The whole orchard shows
intelligent care: good pruning has
been done, giving to each tree strong
skeleton. Part of the orchard is in
cowpeas, to be plowed under as fer
tilizer; and a hundred acres is in
strawberries which have been we'll
cultivated This is commercial or
chard in which no shares are for sale;
and there is not an enterprise of great
er promise in the South.

he had field day. A -thous-
and crowd attended and most Of
them had a glad hand. At night
Patterson came down to Hender-

to a large crowd. They say his
peroration on what whiskey did
for him and his entire freedom
from its deadly coils with the
happiness it brings to his aged

L. W. Sims has retired from
the Senatorial primary. T. G
reasons he gives would apply to
all the other candidates short
ness of time to make the canvass.
1t seems his candidacy did not
take like wildfire. No leading
politicians and no leading paper
advocated him. He quit because
he found out he had no show.
He acted wisely Whether he
will enter for his old position as
Congressman from the Eighth.
District we do not know. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that his
candidacy for Senator whetted
the appetites of number OF
congressional aspirants. Doubt
less B. J. Howard, Trice, Porter,
and a few others will be heard
from in the near future.

Seldom have Selmer people had the
pleasure of listening to as able a min
lister as Rev. T. M. Lowry, Of the Al
ALBANIA street Presbyterian church of
Memphis. His first sermon vas Mon
day night and services morning and
evening will continue probably ever
Sunday.
He isa scholarly and deeply earnest
preacher The congregations at the
morning hour are not as we'll attended
as they should be. The interest and
attendance are increasing and we
believe that his solid deep sermons,
though delivered in simple language,
will be great spiritual uplift to all
The christians Of the town who attend
We are thankful for the church to
furnish such an eloquent and conse-
Grated man.
