The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1920-07-29

This estimate is from a crop Of cane
grown and marketed from land cost
ing not over one hundred dollars per
acre. So you see at prevailing prices
such land as above described will in
two years pay the price of land cost
ing five hundred per acre from the
profits, and leave profit Of over a
hundred dollars per acre for bank
deposit or another investment. 1t is
claimed that the profits from land cost
ing FIVE hundred dollars per acre will
more than pay for the land the first
year, where the land is already seeded
or planted and the season good. While
last year was rather dry, and many
sections of the cane belt suffered for
moisture, much of the high-priced
land yielded profit of over four hum
dred dollars per acre. However, in
dealing in lands of this character, it
cannot look to me any other way but a
gambling proposition. For the ques-
tion naturally arises, can prevailing
prices of sugar be maintained for any
length Of time? Will the products of
such lands continue to sustain such
values? These are questions which
must be considered. For it is not
reasonable to expect the long continu-
anee OF these prices. Changes are
going to come, for the labor of one
half Of the world is inadequate to feed
and clothe the entire earth. Present
conditions are but the repetition of
the result Of previous wars. 1t is
time the earth should become civilized.
It s time for the barbarity of wars to
cease; and believe that with all the
worlds enlightenment, the master
minds which influence, control and
even shape the destinies Of the various
governments now upset and disturbed
VIII gradually bring about peace;
When laborers will return to the farms,
commercial relations be re-established
and the prices Of all commodities re-
vert to a normal, sensible and legiti-
mate standard.
Salaries here, as well as the wages
Of common farm labor, are as absurd
as the prices Of land and its products,
y wen as those Of every other COM
modify, but in order to live these
Inl1lgs must be. They must advance
with everything else. Plantation man
sgers command salaries from two
nitg to five hundred dollars a month,
wnlle farm labor is hard to get at from
tnree to tive dollars a day. 1t will be
remembered that after our civil war.
cotton brought from seventy-five cents
70 one dollar pound, and SO did every
other product rise in price, and it was
several years before prices returned

Connecticut River Navigation

One result of the sweeping increase
in railway rates should be a stimulus
to the development of inland water
ways. Their neglect in favor of ex'
elusive use of railways is an extrsva'
gance in every case in which navigation
can be made TO pay, and the number
of such cases must be materially in
creased by the raising Of freight rates
by from 20 TO 40 per cent
Once developed, waterway costs
much less than a railway for upkeep
and it has also the advantage of great
fiexibility in carrying capacity. A
period of relative idleness matters lit
tie. and when the demand is great there
is room for all the barges that can be
got to the spot.
An era of high freight rates, with
the increase at its maximum in New
England, viii very greatly strengthen
the case for Connecticut river naviga
ton. II il has already been needed II
will be needed even more when the
new rates go into effect. II il was al
most paying proposition before the
increase was authorized, jump Of 40
per cent in freight charges should leave
a considerable margin for profit and
still make possible a substantial saw
ing for the Connecticut valley.-Spring-
field Republican.

recognized the voice Of that Of a neigh

shoes, or very much Of anything else.
he rushed 10 the neighbors house. His
embarrassment was relieved somewhat
when he found that the woman Of the
house and several young ladies with
her were as excited as he, and not
much more fully attired A chorus Of
excited ordinations greeted him.

SHE HAD HIM ARRESTED
But 1t Was a Hard Job to Get the
Policeman to Do It.

Just how hard it is sometimes to
cause the arrest of an offender is illus.
trated by recent experience of Flat.
bush woman. She was sitting in an
automobile in Broadway near Fifty
seventh street waiting for her husband
who had gone into a store to make
purchase, when indifferently she
noticed two men come from an auto
mobile supply store, each rolling tire
She watched them until they entered a
building about half block distant.
They had hardly gotten out OF the
line of her vision when the proprietor
Of the store appeared, in great state
OF excitement. He had been robbed, he
loudly shouted, and the Flatbush wo-
man heard him say that two expensive
tires had been distracted from his
stock. Then she remembered the tire
rollers.
II have just seen two tires being
rolled from your store into that build
ing" she told the victim, pointing
toward where the men had disappeared.
The proprietor and the growing crowd
started for the building. She got out
of the car and went with them. On
the way they picked up a policeman.
After some questioning the. elevator
man recalled that men and tires had
gone into an Office on one of the upper
floors. The policeman was appealed to
20 to the office but he refused. He
had no warrant and no authority to
enter the building, he said.
Acting on the well established prin-
ciple that what goes up must come
down, the store proprietor decided to
keep watch at the street end of the
elevators. BY this time his informant
was so interested in the chase that she
decided to watch with him. Fss hus.
band Joined her. After wait Of
about a quarter of an hour a man, who
she said looked like one of the pair she
had seen rolling the tires, came down
This time he was carrying what ap'
peared to be one very large single tire
The watchers followed him out into
the street and policeman was called
and asked to question the man. He did
so. The fellow, with the utmost sell
possession, insisted that mistake hac
been made. The woman, convinced
that her first suspicion was correct
demanded the arrest of the man. The
policeman expressed regrets, but hi
said he had not seen an offense com
mitted 1t was then she insisted that
the bundle be opened This the police
man said he could not do.
"Well, I can" declared the angry
woman, and she did so. Before thu
surprised man could move to stop hel
she had enough paper wrapping tori
of to disclose two tires. The dealer
said they we're the same kind and siz'
as had been stolen from his place
Then an arrest was msde.--New Yorl

Swimming is one of the most healthy
and delightful exercises imaginable.
Very rarely indeed is youngster SO
delicate or timid that he or she will
not derive benefit from at least oc-

Quite possibly the average man or
woman may never be In situation
where the ability to swim alone stands
between them and immediate death,
but this situation does arise often
enough. Very often dozen strokes will
make all the difference between life
and death, and the person who can con

Learn to Swim.

Drowning accidents are reaching un-
precedented figures this year. From one
end of Canada TO the other reports
come pouring in each day that passes.
Every week end sees whole list Of
drowning casualties recorded in the
newspapers, more particularly in the
vicinity of the larger cities.
There is very little excuse for the
average drowning. In the great ma
FORTY of cases the ability TO swim, or
a least to keep aAoat for a few min
utes, makes all the difference between
life and death.
Parents should insist that their chill
dren learn to swim. There is scarcely a
home in the country, where in the sum
mer time sufficient water is not avail
able in which the children can learn to
swim. City parents are in even better

proaches the necessity Of putting
together the tentative draft, partly
written and approved by Presi-

compromising difficulties appear.
Two groups OF Democrats are
angry. The first is that Of the
Bryan sympathizers, the other is
the conservative faction. That
Woodrow Wilson controls the COM
mittee is admitted.
Senator Glass, the chairman
chosen by the Administration Or
ganization in the makeup OF the
subcommittee, is asserted TO have
ignored Vice President Marshall
and William Jennings Bryan. Both
of them are determined 10 wage a
real fight for the adoption OF their
views in the full committee.
Mr.. Bryan still intends TO carry
his dry fight 10 the convention
floor. In some slight degree he will
be aided by the Vice President, who
is smarting under the slight
shown him by Mr.. Glass and the
Administration forces.
While IL is expected that the ira

staged over the platform under the
leadership Of Mr.. Bryan, who will
be aided by the Senate cabal. there
is no reason TO believe that the
dominance Of the President will be
oyerthrown.

Knocked at the gate of Heaven.
When asked for his name, he was

rapidly borne away until he came
into the presence Of a mighty shin

light came a voice saying, Have
you always been good?" Alas, he
had not. Have you always been

was condemned by his own testi-
