WHAT WAR REALLY MEANS.

Small words often stand for great things, and no
unit Of the English language is solemn, more
profound or more far-reaehing in its meaning than
the little word war; for to fight and to
engage in fighting means boodshed the loss OF thous
ands of who not only give up their earthly
but whose violent deaths bring untold suffering to
thousands Of wives, mothers, sweethearts and friends
who although in material form are far from the scene
of carnage in spirit the firing line and whose
hearts bowed in untold grief whenever news of ia
talities is received from the front.
Bravery. however, is the backbone of patriotic cit
zenship and when the toesn of sounded in any
country is invariably answered by thousands of sons
who stand ready sacrifice their lives on the altar of
Mars The outbreak of hostties in Mexico prov
ed exception to the rule, and at the present time
fully hundred thousand of Uncle Sans bravest and
best citizens either the border or en- route there
to to defend his eoors
Forming a complement of the fighting brigade will
be found the Columbus Rflemen, company which has
been in existence for nearly century and whose men,
bers have thrice before proven their loyalty by quick
response the call to arms the gallant command hav
ing participated in the Mexican. civil and Spanish Am
ercan wars. Not only Columbus but the county as we'll
represented in the local fighting delegation as about
thirty young from the Caledonia neighborhood ac
companied the Rflemen to the front These men for
merly belonged the Caledonia Rifles but was i'm
possible for that command to muster sufficient strength
to go to Mexico Independent command, and those
who found it possible to leave home went members
of the Columbus Riflemen.
The mtamen departed at 8 o'clock last Saturday
night a special train over the Southern Railway in
Mississippi going from here Jackson where the Mis-
sssippi troops are to mobilize before proceeding to
Mexico Hundreds of citizen gathered the depot to
the boys off, and in the ambient crowd there many
sad faces and tear dmmed eyes. 1t is than prob
able in this instance, however, that there really
for tears for the differences with Mexico ma,
be settled by arbitration and if this is done there will
be very little real fighting, and it is probable that th
troops of the regular army will be the only ones to
gage therein.

THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY DOOMED.

Col Roosevelt seems to have sounded the death
kne of the Progressive party by refusing to accept
nomination its presidential candidate; as, following
this action many leaders have returned to their old
love and have announced their intention of supporting
Justice Hughes the Republican presidential nominee
few prominent Progressives were in favor of
perpetuating the party by nominating another to
take the place of Roosevelt its presidential candidate
while others favored ndorsng Hughes for president and
supporting John Parker the Progressive vicepres-
era nominee, for that Office. Mature consideration
of the latter plan, however, demonstrated its imprac
by it would have necessitated placing of the names
of two candidates for single Office the ticket
and the primary laws in states forbid this
Col Roosevelt is still at his same old game, that
of playing politics While a cursory examination
into the situation makes it apparent that he is obsessed
with keen desire to get back into Republican folds
he not the megalomanie which forms such
potent part of his character and is doing everything
in his power to make the people believe that Hughes is
the who is extending the olive branch and is the
who is making the overtures. Such contention, how
ever is extremely ridiculous; for while Senator Lodge
Clifford Pinchot and a number of other men who are
recognized Roosevelts warm personal friends and
loyal political supporters have called Hughes, the
Justice has sent single emssary to Oyster Bay
nor in any other way sought to establish communication
with the Colonel.

individually as they appear to look upon him polt

be doubt of the fact that he had very strong
political following but during the past four years his
following has been practically confined to the ranks of
the Progressive party and his action in refusing
cept the presidential nomination at their hands has
caused thousands of his old followers to desert him.

PROTECT THE CATTLE
FROM HORN FLIES.

Agricultural College, Miss, June
27.--In answer to many inquiries
coming in to the Mississippi A. q
M. College for a remedy against the
horn fly of cattle, which is espec-
tally prevalent at this time of the
year, r. w. Harmed, entomologist,
states that the injury causd by this
pest is principally from irritation
causing a loss of vitality and conse-
auent decrease Of milk flow. The
magot does not bore through the
horn, as is often supposed. Mr..
Harmed offers the following sugges-
tions for controlling the flies.
When the insects appear IN
large numbers the best method of
combating them is to apply preven-
tatives, which are so distasteful to
the flies that they will not come
near them, but at the same time are
not injurious to the cows. The fol-
lowing mixtures are recommended
for this purpose;
/. Two parts crude cottonseed
oil and one part pine tar. This is
best applied with large paint
brush and may be used at milking
time if dairy cattle are to be treated
Fish oil may be substituted for cot
tonseed oil One application will
last about five days.
2. One ounce of carbohc acid
three fourths ounce of pennyroyal
and one-fourth pound of sulphur
mixed with one gallon of crude cot
ton seed oil This may be applied in
the same manner as the first mix
ture.
Early in the season one of the
most satisfactory remedies for the
pests is to destroy the eggs, which
are laid in fresh COW manure, by ap'
phcations of lime to the manure
pile. This is practical only where
the cattle are confined in a small
enclosure, but the manure in the
open will be baked by the sun anC
the maggots will be killed
