ber Mrs. Smith, a good, true,
and faithful woman as ever was

For those who think cotton is
too high. we offer for considera
ti0n the fact that relative to other
commodities cotton is not high.
Flour used to be 81 and $5 a bar.
rel, now 1t costs $40; fertilizers
are way up; shoes and clothing OF
all kinds are "out of signt:' ma.
chinery of every sort is costing
more than it used to. So, when
we come to calculating the pur.
chasing power of a bale of cotton,
we find that despite the high
price it will purchase little if any
more than it would several years
ago, when cotton and everything
else were considered cheap. The
truth is that all commodities are
high priced, and comparatively
cotton is no higher than the others
and certainly no higher than it
ought to be if the grower is to get
an adequate return for his labor.

The day has passed when vot.
ers can be persuaded, cajoled OF

has his mind made up days before
he goes to the polls. The day of
fiery speeches, brass bands and

THE CLIPPING

"But to get back to pork I'll
give you a concrete case. In the
prairie region of Mississippi,
that "black belt" next to the
Alabama line, is as fair a land
as the sun shines upon. 1t took
that people many years to re-
cover from the devastation of
war and the more ruinous evils
of carpetbagging. When the
white folks riz' in 1875, as our
colored fellow citizens expressed
it, the late fernando Desoto

lures, Samuel J. Randall, was
speaker of congress and the
greatest watchdog of the treas
ury congress ever saw. In
Moneys district was a little old
river, the Noxubee, a small trib-
utary of the Tombigbee. In
three little separate river and
harbor bills Mr.. Money secured
$4,000 each to improve the
Noxubee. 1t was as fine a speci-
men of pork" as ever was or
dered. The NoXubee was i'm
proved, and on a glorious morn
of October, 1888, that graceful
little craft, the Lille Lou,
steamed up the silvery Noxubee
to Macon.
"Auld Ayr, whom ne'er a town sur
passes,
For honest men and bonnie lasses."
At that time the Mobile &
Ohio railroad, then owned by
Dutch capital at Amsterdam,
charged the planters of that
community S. to carry a bale of
cotton to Mobile. On her return |
trip the Lille Lou carried 500
bales of cotton to Mobile for 81
a bale. When we recall the fact
that Noxubee county grew 25,-
300 bales a year; here was a saw
ing of 100000 per annum to
that community. Local, you
say. Not a bit of it. Those peo-
pie were as poor as they were
proud, as honest as they were
brave, and long they had gone
without necessaries and COM

axes levied by the Infamous car

The November Election

| There are many voters who d
not understand what amendment
we are to vote on at the electio
to be held the first Tuesday i
November, says the East Mississ
lippi Times:-
The citizens of Mississippi will
vote on the repeal of three laws
In 1914 the voters of the stat
ratified an amendment to the con
stitution providing for the initia
tive and referendum, and tn,
amendment was inserted into tht
organic law by the legislature il
1916.
At the last session the legisla
ture passed three laws tha'
aroused considerable feelinl
throughout the state. The law,
were:
l. Limiting the shipment O.
whiskey to one quart and beer tc
twenty four pints to one consumer
every fifteen days.
2. Prohibiting newspapers from
publishing liquor advertisements.
3. Regulating hunting and fish
ing and providing game wardens.
Petitions were circulated de-
manding an election on the three
laws. but before the Secretary of
State could issue a proclamation
calling an election the anti-saloon
league secured an injunction from
the Chancery Court at Jackson
restraining the Secretary of State
from complying with the provi-
sion of the constitution.
The State Supreme Court on
Oct. 9 dissolved the injunction
and directed the Secretary of
State to call the election. The
court held that the judiciary had
no authority to eDjoin any elec.
tion.
The Secretary of State issued a
proclamation naming Nov. Z as
the date of the election.

John Heydler, secretary of the Ma
tional league, is gathering facts
about the school for umpires which
is part of the public course of Gin
cinnati, O., to advance the idea of
having similar classes made part
of school courses in every city in the
country. -..
HeydIer's attention to the school
was attracted when students, in the
course of study, found discrepancies
inrthe rules, especially one regarding
laying out a diamond. He has made
frequent inquiries and the success of
the school leads him to believe it is,
national proposition.
School officials of various cities
have pried into the matter with the
idea of starting classes.
The school was the idea of J. How.
ard Renshaw, supervisor of recrea-
ton on Cincinnati Fairgrounds. 1t.
was approved by the superintendent
of schools and put through by the
board of education. ..
. The purpose is to make umpiring
a profession, provide graduates with,
diplomas, just like lawyers and doc
tors, and prepare young man to,
earn the good salaries paid compe-
tent umpires.
