ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Vdsh VSSh dGSoAihhS epuhh' VI SesH ' ot the birthday of Abraham Lincoln NC know him better. At the close of ske civil war the states that had seeded hated him, although there were many far-seeing and keen witted Southernsrs who realized that Lincoln was the best friend the South had in Washington. When stricken down by the hand of an assassin his work was unfinished. and, un- fortunately, those who finished it for him undoubtedly strayed far from the methods Lincoln would have fol- lowed.
 When the constitution of the United States was written. there was no definite stipulation that states, once having entered the union, could not secede if they thought it wise. This locphole Was left in order to induce all to enter. In the minds of many political thinkers the implication was present that the constitution was binding merely through the sigma lures of all the states; among others it was stoutly maintained that the constitution did not specifically deny the right 9f secession.
 It took n four years war to weld together this original loophole in the constitution, and today there Is scarcely man, North or south. who does not admit thot the union is bet ter and greater as Lincoln made it.
 Consider then the greatness of the man. Born in extreme poverty. reared in every manner Of hardships, ac- quiring an education amid suualor. and finally landing in the white house at the most critical time in the na- tion's history-this is indeed bio- graphy that will remain the greatest source of inspiration to the nation. Added to this. however. was the stfsngth of character and indomit- able perseverance of the man, his leadership If men and his well-nigh personal command over the destinfes of the nation, and we have picture that will never be equalled in this land of liherty. And we hope not, because Lincoln's triumphs we're in the l idst of woe, want. misery and bloodshsd.
 Lincoln was no stickler for abSo- lnte and undefiled democracy at all times. At Gettysburg he uttered the immortal phrase, government of the people, for the people, and by the peo- ple.' And he meant it. But he realiz- ed, as every sensible man does, tha. there are some circumstances that alter cases even in republic. and one of these was when he made the emancipation proclamation. He mere ly laid the draft of the document be- fore hissi capinet Sand said she was going .toscommunicate to them some thing about which he did not desire them to offer any advice; they might make suggestions as to detail. but nothing more N-ne of them had been consulted as to the presidents pur- pose. He alone settled the matter

SCARCITY OF COTTON SEED FOR PLANT
A.~.N HNs. ING PROMISED.

Good, early, planting cotton seed promises te
be scarce next spring, especially in the large ter.
ritory where the weevils got in their worst WORK
this season. The mill price being high, ana COZ
ton scarce, not enough seed is being held ID many
localities to plant the next crop. ine Cleve'sftd
Big Boil seed is especially going to be in demand.
This variety has shown up well for several years
and this year has given especially good results
as q cotton to plant under boil weevil conditions.
The State Experiment Station places it in the first
rank asian early variety. On Mississippi prison
farms it made larger yields than any other vari-
ETY. this season. 1t has shown up well among
growers in nearly every part of the State. We
would suggest that all people having this variety
where is has produced well, save it carefully and
if they will report to us the quantity they have
we will be able to put them in connection with
those who wish to buy. There ere some inquiries
now, but there will be little trade before the be-
ginning of the year. Some other varieties. such as
Triumph, Miller Big Boil, and Cooks Improved
class up very well, and in view of the promised
scarcity we would suggest saving some planting
seed from your best crop regardless of name, as
they may be needed. r. Mckay, Marketing
Specialist, Miss. A. & M. College.

LOTS OF MONEY IN GREENWOOD.

Greenwood's banking houses have about three
and one-half million dollars on deposit subject to
check. This is a magnificent showing for the fl
.nancial condition of the people of Greenwood and
Lefore county, and The Daily Commonwealth

fthat more substantial improvements will be made
here than perhaps in any other city in Mississippi
within the next year, and that unusual business
activity will be in evidence along all lines. So
Jast keep your eyes open and watch Growing

clare that waves Of Hughes sentiment
