THE FARMER AT THE HELM.

Plutarch, of ancient and hoary
days, said "But for me, live in a
little town where I am willing to
continue, lest it should grow less"
Most of us are staying in Brook
haven to help it grow bigger. 1t
will do that not through metropoli-
tan capitalists and city promoters so
much, as through the success of
Farmers Smith, Jones and Brown
with their forage, the prices for po-
tatoes, the quality of their pigs and
poultry, their live stock, and the in
terest they take in their soil.
These things determine whether
the town merchant has a good trade
in shirts and shoes, monographs and
moving machines, jewelry and
watches, hats and clothing. With
successful farming the preacher and
the doctor are paid and the editor
comes in for his dues.
Farmers are the life-blood of the
town and the town is the child of the
country.
Vote for that $25,000.O0 in bonds
for the A. H. S. and help lay the
foundation for a safe, sound and
sane future for your children and
your town and county.

Attention of Congress to be Called

Officials of the Department of JUS
tice and the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau are using all the resouces of the
Government to run down the VIOLA
tors of the law, and the traffickers
in flake BOOZE"
''The result in the alleged wood
alcohol cases is no argument for per-
mitting the drinking of more alcohol,
but less," said Senator Morris Shep-
pard. 1T will serve as warning
and will show how necessary it is
that prohibition should be strictly en-
forced.
"All this talk about testing the
constitutionality of the prohibition
amendment is simply last resource
of the vets and has no chance what
ever of succeeding. AS for such pro-
posals as that of passing a bill in
the New Jersey Legislature to thwart
enforcement, it merely amounts to
placing the State above the federal
government. You cannot overthrow
or go back of an amendment to the
Constitution in any such way as
that"

Growth of the Dairy
Business in the State

In 1912 there was one Creamery in
Mississippi and that one was located
at A. & M. College. nj that year the
ter, less than sixty pounds a day,
and during the year paid to the farm
ers $4,423.12. In 1918, six years
later, the number Of creameries was
twenty-five, which made 2,947,948
pounds of butter and paid to the
farmers $1,262,870.00. During the
year of 1919 the growth of this bu-
siness has been much larger than in
any previous year, and the number Of
of creameries has increased to over
thirty, and many Of the older ones
have materially increased their capa-
city by installing better and more
modern machinery. When the fg-
ures for this year have been compil-
ed they will be surprising.
To the creamery must be given the
credit of building the great dairying
business of the state.
The increase in dairy cattle in
1918 amounted to 41,000 head, val
ued at $2,460,000, the value of dali
ry products was $4,422,870, and this
amount does not include the value
to be placed on SKINNED milk and on
manure. The value of home dairy
products such as farm butter, cottage
cheese and the like, marketed thru
agencies other than the creameries
was $500, 100000. The new stock ad-
ded to the herds of the State have
been mostly of pure bred cattle. At
the same ratio of growth of this in
dustry for the next six years, as dur
ing the past six years, Mississippi
will be well at the top of any state
in the Union.-The Mississippian.

ENFORCING THE CONSTITUTION.

There is always a higher law than
the written law. There are eXigen-
cies ana emergencies that no law can
provide for. The righteous will of
the people is sometimes enthroned
above national constitutional law by
State laws, because the states have
the right to make certain laws-as,
for instance, those governing cleo
tionS.
And this law in Mississippi has
forbidden the negro men of the State
their vote. Negro women will ac-
cept the situation as their men have
done. There is not a shadow Of dan
ger about that. In fact the agitation
going on by opponents of suffrage for
women is doing more to arouse the
black race to try it's mettle against
the white than anything that has
happened in thirty years. This is
white peoples country.
The Clarion-Ledger's offensive
Negro Woman Amendment" is a po-
litical bill-posting resented by the
white women of Mississippi and the
men who have protected the race a
gainst the negroes vote and will so
continue regardless of sex.
This feature of the objection to
suffrage for women is nothing but
political scarecrow.
Mississippi must either vote for
the amendment and become a volun-
tary adherent or be forced into the
column under Federal law; for the
hour is come for the Democracy of
the white race in Mississippi.

A WORD IMPERS0NAL.

Judging from impressions receiv-
ed inside of Brookhaven organiza-
tions and outside there is going to
have to be a bigger, broader and
more comprehensive spirit of patriot
ic service, minus the personal ele-
ment that inevitably seems to OBJ
trude itself, before big, broad and
comprehensive enterprises and un-
dertakings can be accomplished.
We do not apprehend that the time
will ever come when men or women
can absolutely forget themselves in
a cause or end to be attained-that
would be too much to expect, but the
sensitive ego and the desire for per-
sonal credit and preference should
be suppressed tc some extent so that
there will be more room for liberty
of speech and action; for sincere ex-
preston of honest conviction and en-
deavor.
There seems to be a tendency to
show so much consideration for the
foolish feelings of people that other
people are cramped and fearful of
stepping on somebody else's grass ev-
cry time he moves.
Let us broaden out with our pro-
gressive city and try and forget our
selves a while in larger and more
important interests and enterprises
and institutions that, really would
live and flourish if you and were to
withdraw entirely from the struggle.
We are all needed more helpers
for every organization and every
movement advanced.
But we need power more than ma
chinery. We need organization only
to utilize the power. Power is ac-
Quired by devotion to a cause or
a principle and forgetfulness of
self and the credit" we think I'VE
deserve"

Knew Nothing of Armistice, He Says
-Sherbu1ne's Charges Refuted.

Washington, Jan. 10.-General
Pershing had no knowledge that an
armistice had been signed until a.
m. November IL, 1918, and all for
ward movements of American troops
were stopped as soon thereafter as
orders could be transmitted to the
unit commanders, the commander-in
chief of the American Expeditionary
Forces declared in a letter to Repre-
sentative Fuller, Republican, of Mas
sachusetts, made public today.
Representative Fuller explained
that he made General Pershing's let
ter public in answer to recent char
ges by Brigadier General John H.
Sherburne, Boston National Guard
officer, that there was an unneces-
sary loss of American life on Armis-
tice Day because orders to attack
were not promptly withdrawn when
1t became known the armistice had
been signed.

growing the crop, since their pros
perity came only when cotton
brought good price.
At Spartanburg a 100000 ware
housing corporation was organized
and Government Quartermaster
storage warehouse was purchased
under the Federal Warehouse Act.
Within ten days more cotton had
been stored than had ever before
been stored in Spartanburg county.
This was made the central warehouse
and three others were provided in
the county.
This branch of the American Cot
ton Association gets the market re-
port by wire which report is posted
at each warehouse and, at the IS
banks throughout the county. With
cotton often fluctuating as much as
$40 a bale in day, the farmer must
be kept closely posted in order to
hold his own and these market re-
ports are the only means by which
this is possible.
Warehouse receipts are gilt-edge
securities and banks will accept
them up to IS per cent of the mar
ket value of cotton, as the basis of
loans. A Government man grades
the cotton as it goes into storage and
the statement in the receipt carries
the statement Of the guaranteed
grade. The amount charged for
storage is fifty cents per month per
bale at Spartanburg.
Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Ar
kansas, Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma
and Mississippi are all starting cam
paigns for membership drives. From
the governor down to the smallest
cotton farmer, all hands are joining
in perfecting the cotton organiza-
tion. 1t is not the organization of a
class but of a section.
Mississippi's and the South's great
est business is agriculture and it
should be put on a business basis.
Mr.. J. w. McGrath is State Presi-
dent of the Mississippi organization
and it is at his request the Leader
gives these facts made known in
The Country Gentleman" the old
est agricultural journal in the world
which just now is running a series
of articles on "Upholding Cotton"
The Semi-weekly leader., 1920-01-21

The American Cotton Association,
our readers were told in Saturdays
Leader by John McGrath & Sons,
has inaugurated system whereby
the price of cotton will be regulat-
ed by the legitimate laws of supply
and demand and not by speculation"
Manufacturers state they have
never made money out of cheap cot
ton and the movement is planning
to go much further than merely fore
ing higher price for cotton, thru
restricting production and refusing
to sell below set figure.
The organized cotton interests is
for "a better administration of agri-
culture. The marketing problem is
the first consideration after the cot
ton is grown on cash loans from the
merchant who is fully compensated
by the rate of interest incurred by
the end of the year. Generally, a
settlement can be forced soon after
cotton harvest and the farmer sells
his crop, whether he is pleased with
market conditions or not. And when
the greater part of the crop has pass
ed into other hands than the "hor-
ny" ones that raised it the highest
peak Of the years price is reached.
The American Cotton Association
is taking a hand in devising a bet
ter marketing scheme. The first
step is in securing longer time credit
and better credit with lower inter-
est rate. The scheme is based on
warehousing cotton. Stored cotton,
protected from fire and weather and
theft makes the safest collateral i'm
aginable. National banks are now
permitted to make loans on bonded
cotton warehouse receipts and the
cotton-grower who has his cotton in
the warehouse need no longer hurry
from the cotton gin to the market
place.
Spartanburg, S. c., has speedily
secured tangible results. A drive re-
suited in 2200 memberships with
0ues amounting to near $4,000.
Business men, bankers and profess
sional men became members. These
men realized they were just as de-
pendent on the welfare of the cotton
farmer as if they themselves were

A REvERSION TO BARBARISM.

Says the Mobile Register:- "The
year has been one of unusual law
lessness and crime, following as a
kind of reaction from the excitement
of the war, and the increase in crimes
that excite lynching and the increase
in disposition to disregard the reg
ular processes of law are attribut-
able to the same influence. Let it
be hoped that we shall all calm down
and come to recognize that in coun-
try of law-of our own law-we
must learn to respect the law. We
shall be retarded in our advance as
people as long as we countenance
the practice of barbarism while pro-
Tossing to obey the rules of civiliz-
ed government"
The Richmond Virginian, remark
ing that there has, in most of the
Southern States, been a noticeable
decrease in lynching, and that there
have been only two in Virginia in
twenty years, says that every lynch
ing lis blow at civilization and a
reversion for the time being to saw
age and barbarous times"

CIDER AND FRUIT
JUICE UNDER BAN
Commissioner Says They Must
Not Contain Forbidden AL
cOhOlic Percentage.

Washington, Jan. 14.-In one of
the -broadest constructions yet plac-
ed on the provisions of the act for
enforcement OF constitutional prohi-
bition Commissioner Kremer has rul-
ed that fruit juices and elders come
within the dry ban if they contain
more than one-half of l per cent al
cohol
The commissioners Interpretation
of the law was set forth today in a
memorandum charging prohibition
directors and inspectors with the ad-
ded duty of examining the alcoholic
content of such beverages.
The drastic regulation goes into
effect with constitutional prohibition
January 16. Violation of it carries
the same penalties as for the manu-
facture or sale of stronger liquors.
Officials in discussing the ruling
asserted that such step could not
be taken under wartime prohibition,
nor was it enforceable under the pro-
hibition laws of most of the states.
Hitherto the Bureau of Internal
Revenue has held fast to the policy
of assessing taxes against fermented
liquors containing more than one
half of l per cent alcohol, but ac-
tually the regulations could not be
applied to elders and fruit juices be-
cause of the technical language of
the law, it was said.
Strict enforcement Of the regula-
tion will hold liable dealers in fruit
juices and elders in which the alco-
holic content increases even while in
storage. The department does not
intend, however, to guage all bever-
ages thus produced, officials said,
but a "watchful eye" will be kept
on these manufacturers and dealers.
Natural fermentation will offer no
excuse for evasion of the regulation
1t was declared.

ALI in the State of Mind.

If you think you're beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you
don't
If you'd like to win, but think you
can't,
It's almost cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world you find
Success begins with fellows will;
It's all in the state of mind.
Full many race is lost
Ere ever step is run;
And many coward falls
Ere ever his works begun.
Think big, and your deeds will grow;
Think small, and you'll fall be-
hind;
Think that you can and you will.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're out classed, you
are;
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself
before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battle don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.

Why is a
Headache?
Various Causes for this Common
Affiiction.
Anemia or BlOOdlessness a Very
Common Cause
PeptO-Mangan OvercOmes Ane-
mia and Tends to Prevent
Headaches

When one has an occasional
headache it is usually due to
some transient or passing cause,
such as indigestion, eye-strain,
over-tiredness, etc. When, how
ever, one suffers from frequent
periodic headaches there is al
ways some sepcial reason for it.
Among the most common of
such reasons is Anemia or Blood
lessness. This condition is es :
pecially frequent among girls
and young women and those
whose occupations or habits of
life keep them too much indoors.
The one important necessity in
such cases is to build up the quail
ity and quantity of the weak
and watery blood. Guides Pep
to-Mangan is exceptionally val
liable for this purpose. 1t in
creases the number and improv-
es the quality of the red blood
cells, those vital little bodies
which carry nutrition to all
parts of the body. 1t improves
the appetite, imparts color to
the face, and restores health
and strength to the body gener-
ally. After a short course of
Pepto-Mangan the headaches
decrease in frequency and Sc
verify and finally disappear, if
they are due to Anemia. Pepto-
Mangan may be had either in
liquid or tablet form, as pre-
ferred. When buying Pepto-
Mangan be sure the name

Without "Gude's" it is not Pep

A HOME-LIKE TOWN.

Asked what is the chief difference
between the big city and the small
town, the average person will read
lily declare that in the large city
friends are far apart, that thousands
OF strangers are passed on the streets
before an acquaintance bobs up. In
the small town, however, a walk
down any street will be a case of
meeting friends on every hand.
Is this not a strong argument in
favor of the small town? Is it not
an indication that the small town is
more conducive to the perpetuation
of that spirit of democracy and good
will and friendliness that all experts
agree are so essential to preserve in
American life?
Most assuredly. The big city has
the allurements, but it hasn't the
home-like quality.

PUBLICITY FINDS CRIMINAL.
Says the Vicksburg POST

says the VlckSDurg POST
The benefit of newspaper publi-
city in helping to trail down crimi-
mails is appreciated by all modern Of
1cials. The gum shoe method is a
relic Of past ages. The late DR.. J.
S. AlverSon had been missing for
nearly three days with only haud-
full of officials making half heart
hearted search before the Post print
ed the story of the missing man.
The facts were furnished the paper
by Mrs. AlVerson. Immediately after
the publication the whole commun-
ity and the entire section was a.
reused and instead of there being a
handful of searchers, thousands and
thousands became potential unrav-
elers of the mystery. From that
time on the disappearance ceased to
be treated with levity, and under the
stimulus of the red-hot universal in
terest the officials became Jealous in
their efforts. One of the principal
investigators of the horrible murder
mystery stated that as a result of
publicity in The Post three material
witnesses had come forward and CIV
en- important testimony which has
helped to solve the mystery"
Mississippi bows her head in hui
imitation at a crime like that that
oeprived DR.. Alverson, a physician of
Vlcksburg, OF his life. He was going
with client, ostensibly to call at his
nome, wnen in some manner he was
led or taken to an isolated spot near
the National Cemetery and there shot
and beat to death and buried in the
sand. The BODY was discovered four
days later.
The accused is one Jesse Watts,
who, it is alleged, was assisted in
the diabolical crime by negro man.
1t appears Watts had some i'll feel
ing toward the doctor on account of
an operation performed by Alverson
on Watts wife. Both the accused
nave been arrested.
The victim leaves a wife and a
young son who is in the Navy
