prospects for a good crop are
unusually bright. We do not
think that many of the American
people are likely to starve, not.

which have been made to that
effect. ~
Most enthusiastically do we en-
dorse the great aerolane con-
struction program which is be-
ing promulgated by the Ameri-
can War Department and which
calls for the expenditure of
$500, coo, 600 in the building Of
aircraft for military purposes.
The airship has proven to be a
tremendously important factor
in the present great conflict and
if the Allies can MAINTAIN the
complete upper hand in the sky
they will conquer the enemy
much quicker than they would
without the aid of this great ad-
vantage.
Your correspondent took a
real nice bycicle ride few
weeks ago and after it was all
over he also experienced real
nice fainting spell-the only time
during his whole life that he has
ever collapsed from over.eXer-
ton, thus proving that bycicle
riding is harder work than any
farm work.
There are many people who
claim that the steamboat has
long since passed its greatest era
of usefulness. We do rot deny
this assertion which so many
people are making but We do
deny any stat ,ment which says
that the steamboat is of no fur
ther use whatever. For many
years TO come the river COM
merce will be profitable and ben
eficial for quite a number of peo-
pie. The railroad may still be
the principal means of transport
tation but it is certainly not the
only means. There is no likely
hood whatever of the steamboat

quite a number of disappointed
ones when the final test is made

possible for every Office seeker
to be elected but some benefit at
least will accrue from their can
didacy. They will at least prac-

they should relapse back into the

EDITORIAL

In glancing over one OF our eX-
changes recently, which is to say the
Mobile Register we noticed the fol-
lowing Headlines:
'HE SMOKED IN COURT
ORDERED TO PRISON
An examination OF the text matter
of the article, revealed the fact that
a negro witness started to smoking
in the witness-room and was sent to
Jail three hours for contempt of
court, it being in the inferior Grim
inal court of the Gulf City. We
thought on reading the article what
a good example that Mobile Judge
set for many presiders over courts
this day aud time when we see de-
cadence in the line of maintaining
the proper dignity for a court in the
suppression of smoking while its in
session.

Convert Spare Time And Timber Int:
Wood.

Onion County Times
Now is the time to make use of the
waste time IN the country for fuel for
the winter. There is enough timber
going to waste every year in the
country to keep the fires burning
in every home during the winter
without having to buy a single
ton of coal. This wood could be
prepared by the farmers and sold at
at fairly good price. This would
keep much money in the country
that has always gone out of the
state for fuel. If the man who has a
surplus of timber would put in days
that otherwise would be time thrown
away, in cutting and making ready
for the fire place timber that would
eventually go to waste could make a
few dollars that wonld help out the
high cost of living.

Time was when no man would dare
smoke in open court, but now some
judges have even got to where they
so far forget themselves as to smoke
on the stand, and the instant they
come off the bench ''light-up' and
every jimscrew of lawyer will ditto
till the thing catches out all over the
court room and those who do not use
the noxious weed are almost stihed
in cloud of the nicotine incense as
cending in blue spirals of offerings
to the Smoke God. The Herald sym
pathizes with those to whom its of
fensiye who have been caught on
court duty and have to stay and
tough it out when the tobacco clouds
begin to rise, but would remind
them that they will have their in

judges again which is next year
when both circuit judges and chan

Judges who will not smoke them
selves in the courtroom while in
active session or not-let them go to
the Hobbies or cloak rooms az they
do in Congress who will an
nounce from the bench to the sheriff
to place under arrest the first man

New Orleans, Christian Advocate.
The world has a better knowledge
OF right and wrong than often it is
willing to admit. While licensing
evil and permitting their bestial ma
lures to dominate, men show in nu-
merous ways that their truestconvic-
tions are against the immoralities
which they sustain, and perhaps pat
ronize. An Illustration of this point
may be seen in the fact that our ma
ton, which has long been in part
nership with the rum traffic is now

The newspaper situation at Hat
tiesburg has undergone change.
Several weeks ago it was noticed
that an effort would be made to en-
ter the field of journalism at Hat
tiesburg by some spirits interested
in the Mississippi Centennial Expo
sition to advertise same with the
some thirty to forty thousand sol
diers and their kinsfolks who would
travel down here to see Them from
their native states of Kentucky, In
diana, Missouri etc. So Howard S.
Williams with certain backing as a
publishing concern, is now running
whats called the "a American" in the
Hub City, it having absorbed the
Hattiesburg Daily News which was
owned by the Landers. Also the
Herald which as we understand it
was recent newspaper venture in
that city as we have never seen a
copy of it. The American is an in
crease of size over Its predecessor,
the News and bristles with news
matter of rot only the current wire
stuff but of that local and military
nature to cater to the demands of
that large body of soldiery at Camp
Shelby a few miles outside of that
city. So long as Camp Shelby -four
ishes, that long should the American
flourish under it's present. policy and
if Hattiesburg keeps its boom up the
American will likely continue to en-
joy prosperity as it has the heirship
to the business of the News which
enjoyed quite goodly volume as a
normal condition proposition. The
American is peighboriy to the small
