How History Helps

The prospector who traces his vein of ore for some distance feels more sure of his find than if he suddenly comes on the vein not knowing where the Vein begins, and whe"e it ends. He knows that he has not mine until the course of the vein has been traced for miles. There are events in history which are like freaks. They caused a commotion, but the seemingly did nothing more. They are like a blowout.
 There are others which came as a result of long preparation, and have produced great results. They have turned the world upside.
 Come to St. Philips church next Sunday evening, and hear about the events that lead up to the first Christmas. It is the first Sunday of the new church year, and the service will be appropriate to the day. Holy communlon ot 10: 30 am.

Cause for Thanksgiving

If ever we are tempted to say that though others have much to be thankful for, our lives are hard and our paths thorny let US stop a minute and see by what standard We are measuring our blessings. If we look at cripple plodding a. long with crutches we cannot help being thankful that we have feet which serve us we'll and that We can walk and run without so much as considering the effort. When the rain beats on the roof at night we may be thankful for the house that shelters us. When the doc tor calls next door to see an lnvalld who is tossing with fever we ma, be thankful that we are we'll. If there are flowers on the doorbell across the street we may be thank ful that there are no vacant chairs ln our home. Margaret F.. Sang ster.

Circuit Court
SECOND WEEK.

Court adjourned Wednesday after
noon after very interesting session
of three days this week.
The case against Jim Richards, ac-
cused Of stealing or assisting in the
stealing Of one of C. C. Higginbotham's
hogs. which has taken up many days
of the courts time this term and last,
was finished by the acquittal Of the ac-
cused. The case against his brother.
Tom Richards, was thereupon mol rross-
ed. Cyrus Richards and Parks More
head, both Of Winston county. were
convicted, Cyrus pleading guilty. and
were fined 500 and sent to Jail for six
ty days each.
Another case that excited a great
deal Of interest was the State against
Dad Murphey, who stood accused of
rape on the person of Tiny Richardson,
both colored. He was acquitted.
These cases afforded the lawyers in
terested ample fields for oratory and
they took advantage of them. John
Dinsmore made his maiden effort at
jury speaking in one of them and justi-
fled the high expections of his friends.
His side won. Hardin Brooks warmed
up in the same case and on the same
side and spoke with great force, and
fervor. Another speech that attract
ed much attention was Attorney Rich
ardson's defence Of Jim Richards. Our
new District Attorney won many en-
coniums from those about the court
by his fine..handling of the states side
in the cases he tried. BY the way,
Mr.. Rencher who was recognized as one
of the most attractive speakers in the
legislature when he was a member, is
equally logical and forceful at the bar.
The following cases were passed on:
Minerva Scott Va. J. L. Wilkerso n: :
This cause having been submitted on
motion and affidavit for security for
cost, and having been considered.
it is ordered that said motion be
sustained and plaintiff given go days
in which to make bond for cost accrued
and tn accrue.

To the Honorable T. B. CARROLL, Judge Of Noxu-
bee Circuit Court:
The grand jury Of Noxubee county
for the February term, 1915, respect
fully reports to the court as follows:
We have sat 8 days, have summoned
1893 witnesses and examined 152, and
returned into court "a true bills. We
have spent considerable time in examin-
ing into some petty crimes such as the
stealing of corn from the field and of
seed cotton and cotton seed and stock
killing, because these crimes are rife
in some sections Of the county, and
though small in themselves, it is very
important to the welfare of the coun-
= Vsa af Hill III hat bIinc .hgersm is preva-
lent and rife all over the county-es-
pecially in Macon, Shuqualak and the
prairies and practiced by both black
and white. We examined many wit
nesses and made most thorough ef-
fort to get evidence sufficient to find
true bills, but though, we were in many
instances convinced that witnesses be-
fore US knew of facts establishing guilt.
we could make no headway in the face
of persistent perjury by the witnesses
before Us.
We ask your Honor that the follow
ing persons " Walter Lee Williams,
Pomp Taylor. Pap Spann and Jordan
Carter-be served with subpoenas and
put under bond to appear before the
next grand jury, and that the bonds be
made sufficient to insure their appear
ance then. =
We have examined the books of the
county officers and find them neatly
and correctly kept. We have examln'
ed the court house, Jail and county
home and find them well kept. W.
recommend that there be installed in
the lower floor of the Jail a bath ant
toilet. there being none in the Jail ex
cept that upstairs for the prisoners
The flooring in the kitchen and dininf
room of the Jail is rotting and must b.
replaced; we recommend that the neV
floor be of concrete. We were parti
cularly pleased with the condition o
affairs at the county home. 1t is a
neatly and cleanly kept as any privat'
home, and the inmates express grea
satisfaction with their food and gener
al treatment. AS now conducted tn
home is a credit to Noxubee. The sup
erintendent's house there needs paint
! ing badly to prevent decay. We rec
ommend that the Jail grounds be fence
to prevent too easy communication o
prisoners with persons outside.
We thank your Honor for your clea
and instructive charge to US, and tn
district and county attorneys for the
able assistance to US in the discharg
Of our duty. With great respect.

Why Cotton Declines.

If there be any doubt in the
minds of anybody as to what the
general trade thinks is the chief
reason for the declining tendency
of cotton values, let them take a
little trouble and ask some ques.
tions, More than half of the re-
plies will be that it is fear that
the South is going to plant a big
acreage, thereby supplying a basis
for expecting the next crop to be
materially larger than the one of
1866. This feeling naturally
causes the spinners, who are en-
joying one of the greatest seasons
Of prosperity ever known, to be
slow about buying their raw ma.
terial supplies, and thereby causes
the South to have little demand
for its large unsold stock. More.
over, the prospect serves to defer
action that would more than like.
ly help to relieve the export situa.
tion and induce freer buying by
the exporters. In other words, it
all means that the confidence in
another big crop only a few months
hence encourages continuation of
the policy of buying just as spar.
ingly as possible, and the keeping
of the burden on the shoulders of
the South, when a little wisdom
and far sightedness might relieve
it of a great part of it.
The South has the opportunity
to determine whether it will in.
vite another period of low prices.
1t is true that the bulk of the cot.
ton now being carried has been
taken out of the hands of the pro-
ducer, and is owned by the mer.
chant or middleman, but that does
not obviate the fact that it is cot
ton and must yet be bought by
the consumer. 1t will be just as
much for sale as if it were still in
the hands of the producer, and
will have just as much influence
on the market. For the produc.
er to 60 ahead and disregard all
reason and try to raise another
big crop will hurt the owner of
the remnant of the present ornp
of course, ~ h". :, ~ : wa Va Sss ...,s n.s
next crop for sale. The price is
made by the supply available,
matters not in whose hands 1t is.
Although there is in the belt u
strong determination, no doubt,
to keep acreage down and to as
sure continued independence by
planting freely to fodder and food
crops, it is important to have 9th
er sections know what is planned.
The speculator acts on what senti-
ment is, ofttimes misreading ac-
tual conditions, hence the import
ance of seeing that there is no
mistaking the intentions of the
planter to plant for a moderate
crop. The time is near at hand
for planting other crops, and much
can be done in affecting sentiment
by energy of preparations in plant
ing oats, corn, potatoes, etc.
The decline in the price of cot
ton just on the eve of planting
time should act as a restraining
factor and draw attention to the
danger of over.planting. Also,
the slowness with which the rem
nant of the old crop is being mar
keted should help, and it will
prove a blessing in disguise if it
serves to prevent any increase
whatever. News. .Scimitar.
