THE PITY OF It.

Mr.. Mann OF TishomIngO coun-
ty, Mississippi, is member OF
the House of representatives in
Mississippi. In his official capa-
city, no made speech the other
day when a bill was pending
proposing 10 appropriate money
from Mississippi's treasury, to be
put with money appropriated by
the Federal Government, to
maintain the Federal Farm Elk
tension service, and the organi,
cation Of poultry. corn, pig and
canning clubs.
Mr.. Mann is quoted as having
said, in the homely language OF
the farm, from which he is said
to have come.
Il don't want much of that III
mine! / haven't no confidence
in these book farmers. | know
it takes hard licks and plenty OF
'em to make a living on the farm.
/ don't want nobody at $5 q day

to teach me how to farm p
And the happy House cheered
merrily. Miss Susie v. Powell
and R. S. Wilson, the two farm
extension workers, who had ex-
planned their methods to the
members, were all abashed.
And the bill was voted down.
New Orleans Item.
It is really pathetic to hear a
man calling himself a farmer
and representing that great class
of intelligent people upon whose
shoulders rests the foundation OF
the government, standing up in
the legislative halls of the state
and giving expression to such siss
ly rot as that quoted above from
Mr.. Mann. III his constituents
approve his views then we have
very much misjudged the people
os Tishomingo county.
Every farmer in this country
is producing on the same land
from two to three and some of
them four times as much as they
did 90 years ago. The increase
is the result of intelligent farm
ing which has come from scien-
tific knowledge properly applied.
And the greater part of this
knowledge has come to the peo-
pie through the agencies of the
United States Government. The
Government has spent millions
OF money making experiments
which the individual farmer has
not been able to make because
he had neither the money to
spend or the time to lose. Rip

A Neshoba Inventor

A.N~SA~~S~ - - ~
Mr.. j. T. Ferguson, book
keeper for Henderson-M Mol
pus Coin the lumber depart
ment, has recently been
granted q patent by the
u. S. Patent Office, on a
TYPEWRITER ESCAPE
MENT, which eliminates the
extra stroke made on a
typewriter between each
word.
This is one among the
most complicated patents
ever granted to anyone,
having thirteen cuts OF draw
ing and quite a volume OF
detail description. Mr.. Fer
gnson the inventor has
been using this device for
some time and says it works
perfectly and will approx
mately Increase the speed Of
typewriting % per cent.
This improvement will
operate on any make OF
typewriter, and something
that has been sought for
by many, for almost q cen
tnry in the past. This
device il quite likely to be-
come universally adopted
in the near future, and we
are proud to know that Ne
shoba County will have the
honor Of this production, as
she has never ranked very
high in this class OF work be
fore.
We deem the invention an
essential factor in promot-
ing the general prosperity
and CIVILIZATION OF our coun-
try. lit were not for the
genius of the inventor in the
past giving us improve
ments in communication,
transportation and machin-
cry OF different kinds, our
commercial dealings would
be very sluggish and our civ
ilization several decades
behind. 1t is now con
ceeded by our best informed
people that the public safety
OF q nation no longer lies in
the power to mobilize the
greatest number Of men for
war, but more in the genius
of it's inventors for the prop
er equipment Of arms. quick

portation.
We congratulate Mr.. Fer

ent which he says makes
the third one granted to.

LOCAL LAWYERS AND 9TH
EPS BELIEVE 1T SOLUTION
OF THE SITUATION.
QUESTION is DISCUSSED
BY MANY LOCAL PEOPLE
The Establishment of Such a
Tribunal Seems to Be the
Best Way to Settle the JUS
tice-Court Question.

Brunswick lawyers, and business
people generally, are still discussing
the recommendation made by the last
grand jury for the abolition of the two
justice of the peace courts in this
city, and it was stated yesterday that
active steps looking to a plan of
carrying out the recommendations of
the grand jury will be taken shortly.
1t is probable that a meeting of the
Brunswick Bar association will be
held shortly for the purpose of thor
oughly discussing the matter, and
some action may be taken by this or
ganization.
AS stated in The News several days
ago number of Brunswick ATTORNEYS
have suggested as Il solution to the
problem the establishment of a munic-

OF the. two Justice courts. This plan
has already been adopted in Atlanta,
Macon, Savannah and Columbus and.
according TO reports from these cit
les, the courts are proving very sat
isfactory
1t is believed that majority of the
members of the Brunswick bar will ia
Vor the establishment of such court,
and it is known that a number of bus
mess men who have looked into the
operation Of municipal court also
favor such a tribunal.
The News later will publish arti-
Giles on the subject from various
Brunswick attorneys. They will be
asked to write articles on the sub
ject giving their opinion. explaining
the operation, jurisdiction, etc, of
these courts. In this way the people
of the city generally can ascertain
just how the courts are operated and
they will then be in position to say
whether or not they believe they are
improvements over the present justice
courts.
