Running True to Form.

1t was eminently fitting that
Thomas P. Gore should lead the
attack of Democrats on President
Wilson and the Democratic ad-
lninistration's handling Of the
submarine problem with Ger
many.
Gore sits in the United States
Senate from Oklahoma as a Dem
ocrat, but those who know the
political history of Mississippi
know that he is not a Democrat.
He used the Democratic party to
get to the Senate because it was
the only vehicle he could ride
with any hopes Of success.
But Cores political activity
proves he would not hesitate to
leave his party when the oppor-
tunity came.
Gore was born in Mississippi.
He was not a. Democrat in Miss
issippi, He fought the Demo-
Gratis of this State at every turn.
He was a Populist and his attacks
on Senator Money and Senator
George are a part of the political
history of Mississippi. When the
Populist movement waned III
Mississippi, Gore went to Texas
and there he ran true to his Miss
issippi record. He headed the
fusion Populist movement with
the Republicans, and financed by
Mark Hanna stumped the State
in behalf of the Republican nat
ional ticket, and the State Popul-
ist ticket.
Then Gore went to Oklahoma,
and embraced the Democratic
party. His wonderful oratorial
gift won him his seat in the Sem
ate, and some distinction if not
honor.
That Gore was not misjudged
in Mississippi and Texas was
made evident by his attack in the
United States Senate last Thurs
day on President Wilson, and his
action in attempting to misrep-
resent the President to serve an
u n worthy purpose. - Jackson

Use Of NeutrGI FIGes.

AS the war progresses things
that excited us at the beginning
attract little attention.
It will be recalled how great
was the agitation in Germany
and the United States when, aft
er Germany declared her subma-
rine blockade, one of the great
British liners flew the Stars and
Stripes while fleeing through the
forbidden zone. Not q few
Americans sympathized with Ber.
Inns outburst Of indignation
against this use of false colors
and seemed to find in it some
warrant for her claim that she
could not be held responsible if
American ships ventured within
the blockaded waters.
Yet, when the Appam poked
her nose into the Virginia capes
the other day. and it was reveal
ed that she was able to elude the
British patrols on the high seas
by using some other than the
German flag. and that the raid
er which captured her had slipp-
ed from her home port showing
the Swedish colors, the fact that
both ships had sailed under false
colors created no excitement and
caused no comment.
Germany has reason to feel
elatad over the exploits of the
Moewa. They will form the
theme of song and story to stir
the patriotism of her future gen
But, while she not
only has to her credit the amaz-
ing achievements of her land
forces, but the even more bril-
liant and daring enterprises of
her navy both above and below
The sea, she can hardly be said
to be following a consistent |
course toward the issues the war
from time to time raises. IN. o. |

Two carious Dissases.

One of the two curious disease.
that have recently come to tn,
doctors is commonly known a
sleepy palsy" but, because i
is 80 often found in those wht
have been too festive on Satur
day night, the hospital name il
Saturday night paralysis" Il
comes from pressure on thai
nerve (the musculospiraD which
actuates the extensors Of the Ell
bow. wrist and fingers. The
hard drinker, for whom, on Sat.
urday night. money and leisure
lnopportunety meet. will otter
tall forward on the table with
his head resting on his arm, and
so remain until the effect of drink
are over. waking up to find his
forearm and hand inert and
nerveless, condition persisting
for days or weeks, even months,
and similar to that seen in lead
palsy.
The other disease is known as
Monday morning paralysis. "
Fortunately. it is, as yet. confn-
ed to horses and does not come
from overwhelming but from
food too nutritious or too much
food while resting in the stable
on Sunday.
The technical name is Astasia
(gr. a-stasis) and it is regarded
seriously by horse breeders and
ranchers for recovery is rare. In
fact, the animal dies in two or
three weeks or even as many
days.
1t seems to be a form of uremic
poisoning, The whole system is
clogged; the kindeys are inac-
tive; there is breaking down of
the blood vessels in the rump.
The poor beast presents a pitiful
spectacle: he sweats profusely
and seems to have absolutely no
control of his hind legs.
A Texan rancher recently lost
a number of valuable draught
horses this way. He tried TAX
ing them out for half mile walks,
then walking again; but they all
grew weaker and weaker and
died. Scientific American.

Major W. H. Mcdonald, the en-.
tire credit for originating the car
presentation to Mrs. Bilbo," the
Gulf Coast Progress remarks:
TO have presented the car to

jected him to more or less critic
ism, and it was a graceful and
gracious thing on the part of the
staff to make the gift to the mis-
tress of the executive mansion. "

a difference? But such refined
and discriminating consideration
for the Governors feeling is
worthy of the age. the political

T Ii e United States Public
Health service brands strong
drink as the most efficient ally Of
pneumonia. 1t declares that al
cohol is the handmaiden of the
disease which produces ten per
cent Of the deaths in the United
States. This is no exageration.
We have known for a long time
that indulgence in alcoholic H.
quors lowers the individual vital
ity, and that the man who drinks
is peculiarly susceptible to pneu-
monia. The United States Pub
lie Health service is a conserva-
tive body. 1t does not engage
in alarmist propaganda. In fol-
lowing out the line of its official
duties it has brought forcefully
to the general public a fact which
will bear endless repetition. The
liberal and continuous user of al
coholic drinks will do we'll to
heed this warning, particularly
at this season of the year when
the gruesome death toll from
pneumonia is being doubled.

PIG CLUB WORK


40uCtsWFO UtsU OtDy UOHkDSFS
Mr.. P. 81. Sanders, the stat,
agent for Pig Club Work, win bt
with me for three days-the TWEEN
ty.fst, twenty-second and TWEEN
ty-third of this month. We ex.
pect to visit as many places as
possible during that time and as
sist the teachers in organization
Of the pig clubs and to give all
the information necessary to carry
on the clubs already: organized.
The following dates will be re,
: membered:
Salem Consolidated School, Tues.
day morning, the twenty. first, at
nine o'clock; the Agricultural
High School, Tuesday afternoon at
one ty-five; Brooksville High
School, Wednesday morning at
nine o'clock; Lynn Greek Consoli.
dated School, Wednesday after
noon at one one forty.fve; Macon
High School, Thursday morning
at eight thirty, and Shuqualak
High School, Thursday afternoon
at two o'clock.
On account of the short time
which Mr.. Sanders has to spend
with us, it will be impossible to
visit all the schools: and these
have been chosen because we
thought we could reach all the
boys most conveniently at these
places. If you are club men,
Der either in corn club, pig club
or tomato club, try to attend one
of these meetings, You can afford
to miss one day from your class
work to get all the instructions
necessary for your work for the
summer.
I am sorry to announce to the
tomato club girls that we will be
unable to get the home economies
agent for the county for this sum
mer. This is not because Of any
loss Of interest on the part of the
superintendent or your board Of
sS--esyisors, buL because OF the
failure of state legislature so far
to make the necessary appropria- |
tion to meet the requirements Of
the Federal government which
was to assist in the work. How
ever, the county agent is not es.
sential to the organization of the
tomato club. She would have
been a wonderful help to us, and
will be essential so far as the final
establishment of the work get'-
erally is concerned. But l want
very girl who is in a position to
DIN, and who is not afraid of a
ew difficulties, to enlist in the
york anyway. There will be in.
tructions sent you from the state
gent and from this Office as you
eed them, and there will be
rizes worth working for. Those
Fho begin this year will have a
reat advantage over those who
Eait till next year to begin, be-
buse they will have their ground
b better shape to produce big
ield apd will have the exper-
}nce.
Now, I hope the teachers will
bsist the girls in every way possi-
te. Send me their names aud as
ire them that they will not be
fglected later in the season.
lso, remember that now is the
me to begin; the girls should

on as possible.
AS to the prizes, shall try to
L together as many and as de-
able prizes as possible. This
