A MARKET FOR OUR SYRUP.
News item from Miss. Centennial Exposition)
BY Fl. K. BLAKEsLEE

tNews item from Miss. Centennial Exposition)
BY Fl. <. BLAKEsLEE
One of the Mississippi products
yet to be brought directly to the at
tention of the great consuming public
oevond our state boundaries is sugar
cane syrup. There are millions oil
persons in northern. eastern and
western states who have meyer tasted
tins delicious syrup Once let it
tickle the palatcs of these sections
and steady market will be assured.
The Mississippi Centennial Expo
sitlon affords means OF introduce
ting this syrup to the ultimate con-
sumers OF other states. The match
less products of Mississippi, one and
all, are to be exhibited at the Centen-
NAL and larger market is certain
to come. Few exhibition visitors
who are given taste of our sugar
cane syrup will forget 1t and ship
ments north, east aud west will fol
low.
Not only will the Exposition visl-
tor learn that Mississippi cane syrup
uutciasses other syr0ps, but there
will be driven home also the story
Of the great productiven ess OF the
soil of this state. When one hears that
an acre of land here can produce from
800 to 900 gallons of cane syrup,
which sells in excess of thirty cent S
per gallon wholesale, some idea will
be gained OF what this state has to
offer both to the investor and the
consumer.
Farmers OF Mississippi are waking
up to the opportunities about them
and the Mississippi Centennial will
boost every product and industry of
the state. H. e Blakelee, director
general of the Exposition, believes
that the exhibit of cane syrup will be
one of the most valuable and popu-
lar exhibits OF the many that will in
terest and benefit the hundreds of
OF visitors.

EDITORIAL

The slowing down OF business an
tecedent to presidential election was
less, out in the great business world
this year, than ever before, though
at the time local sectional condi-
tions had acted as a depressant in
Greene county. With the passing
OF the presidential election the re-
bound to commercial activity ON a
great scale is already on this early
aud unless some other calamity
sweeps in, this section will reap some
OF the benefit. The very fact that
the car famine is holding on is evil
dence of the great movement going
on over America in it's commerce, and
will sooner or later prove after all
boon to the sections now suffering
from such temporary shortages in
Transportation facilities, for If the
business is that good elsewhere it
will continue to be good for our pro-
ducts when 1t gets to where the
wheels can be found to move them
on. The Herald is not a false OPP
timist, believes in looking conditions
squarely in the face as they are, sc
we speak as a realist, giving reasons
wherefore our belief at this time.

The hurry bnrIy hurry liam under
which this matter OF securing the
highways for Greene county, is one
way of obtaining what's wanted as
a practical working proposition.
Such matter of methods is unusually
a matter of compromise IN legisla
ton. While the present scheme does
not meet with our unreserved en-
dorsement, the object sought of OBJ
tanning good roads and highways is
the middle ground upon which we
all meet and which for the lack of
some other plan we travel upon IN a
spirit OF Cancellation with those who
have engineered such scheme in or.
der to avoid appearing as an OBJ
struetioDist to the ends in view The
object OF making this expression is
not to throw any damper on the pro-
ject, for we wish 1t we'll. and that it
will prove wisdom not only in motive,
but practical working out. Presum-
ing that the body of our citizenship
who do not exactly approve of the
scheme as ii stands, takes similar
view in not interfering, 1t makes the
responsibility for securing the de-
sired results rest upon the moving
spirits of such plan and the super
visors, as it shall appear from their
methods and administration as to
whether we secure the highways at
minimum OF cost; keep taxes down
to a fair level considering the ordina-
ry burdens OF county government
along with the construction OF such
permanent Improvement: and the
main taiDance OF county paper at
par, which later point is the one
where the shoe will likely pinch the
hardest. Let us hope Ii will turn
out for the best and that praises may
be banded out instead OF curses in
tie years to come.

Look Forward. Net Back,

"We may debate about what has
caused the present conditions" said
Mr.. Thorn. "but we cannot debate about
what the people need. The President
has taken the view that we must look
forward in this matter and make a
fresh assessment Of circumstances In
order to deal helpfully and intelligent
ly with the problem. Abuses are
no more prevalent In the railroad bust
ness today than In any other business
humanely conducted. The great ques-
ton now Is whether the existing sys-
tenn of regulation gives the public re-
liable assurance Of sufficient present
and future railroad facilities.
Those who oppose any change must
make their appeal on the ground that
the present systems assure the public
OF the continued adequacy Of trans
portation facilities. II they do not, NO
argument based on the desirability Of
the present dual system Of regulation
will be accepted by public Judgment

tation facilities privately owned should
fail government ownership must fol
low, and then all power Of the states
over the railroads would disappear.
