Remedial legislation is always
forced from below; it never comes
from above.
Special privilege and its retainers
are well aware of this fact, hence
their hatred for "agitators" who
spur the people to intelligent deter
mination.
Reaction never gives. What it
yields is forced from unwilling
hands.
Wage earners may well recall this
historic fact, especially in these mo-
mentuous days when the world is
discussing disarmament as never be-
fore.
Despite its wealth and resources,
our country is staggering under mil
itary taxes.
Social progress is ignored that

COUNTRY TALK

An echo Of the Vardaman barbe-
cue held in Jackson September 29th
ultimus, is the circulation Of the
French Franc in Claiborne county
that some Of his partisans brought
back home with them as q reminder
Of that day 1t was passed to them
as twenty-five cents. The French
franc that our storekeepers and farm
ers have come in to possession is
smaller than our silver quarter 1t
has the sower on one face, on the 9TH
er the seed wheat on the top stalk
The letterings on the rim are esliber-
tie, fraternite, equalite," liberty, fra
ternity, equality and on the other side
in the center franc. The present
foreign exchange value of the franc
is 3-4 cents, bad money Off 25 cents,
the prewar value was 10 Id cents.
The Vardaman purveyor made q mis-
take German marks at nearly 2 cents
would have been more acceptable to
his followers as he represented the
cause of Germany in the United
States senate more than that of A.
merica and Mississippi.
A. Nee. Byrnes, Jr., left Saturday
for the Mississippi A. & M. College,
StarlvilIe. He will complete his SEN
ior year snd be a candidate for one Of
the degrees in June, 1922.
The lespedeza hay crop was ex-
tremely short this year. X. L. Far
ris, East Hermitage plantation says
it is the shortest in his recollection.
1t is one-third Of a crop, tho the writ
er got oft acres tons when as from
the same area last year IL tons. The
seed crop will be extremely short,
probably not more than 8 bushels per
acre provided it can be cut, 1t is SO
small that it cannot be cutb Y the
moving machine. There is no bot
ton seed crop, some middle, and the
top crop bloomed ten days ago and
will never mature. A stockman told
that last year he hauled 274 Dads Of
hay, this year nonedid not pay to
make hay.
]. K. Highlender is right: the sweet
potato crop is failure, mostly Gull
potatoes. The increased acreage may
provide enough for family use. Sugar
cane will mature about 2 feet. Short
light frost Saturday and Monday,
early winter and hard winter.

The lime articles appearing in the

BIG CAVE FOUND IN FAR WEST

Dungeness, Warh., Oct. 2.--Woods-
men report the discovery Of mann
moth cave in a secluded section Of the
Olympic mountains which their meag-
er exploration indicated may be q
world wonder.
The mouth or opening resembles a
gigantic tunnel sixty feet in diameter.
The men climbed over rocks and wad-
ed through fine dust for 1000 feet,
when the opening narrowed to the
size Of door Beyond this the cave
spread out into big rooms with high
ceilings. These rooms contained bats,
feathered bird Of some unknown
species and lizards. Strange noises
and peculiar odors filled the air.
Once the explorers almost stumbl-
ed into a pit, so deep that a stone did
not strike bottom for five seconds. No
signs Of human beings were noticed.

MIR. SACKSTEDER HAS MORE
TO SAY ABOUT LIME

Lime has several functions in the
soil. It helps to liberate potassium
of which there is an abundance in
most soils but which requires large
bacterial activity to set it free; this
is accomplished by the application of
limestone. 1t also aids in the nitri-
fication process through the increased
bacterial activity. The organic mat
ter in the soil such as manure, roots
of clover, straw and other forms Of
plant origin which lie in the soil are
converted by the ammonia bacteria in
to ammonia; this is then seized by
the nitrite bacteria and converted in
to nitrous acid-which is then convert
ed into soluble nitrates by another
form of bacteria, called nitrate bac-
teria-this product is the soluble form
Of nitrogen which circulates IN the
soil moistures and is taken up by
plant roots to feed the growing crop.
In the second stage, the nitrous
acid period, the mineral elements
which go into plant life are set free
by the nitrous acid formed from the
ammonia such as iron potassium
and phosphorous
The third function Of lime, in the
form Of carbonate of lime (raw lime
stone) is to prevent the waste OF
plant food in solution by reverting il
or locking it up again in an insoluble
compound in the event that it should
not be absorbed by plants in their
feeding process; plant food circu-
lating in the soil moisture which does
not come in contact with the plant
roots win either leach away in the
drainage or coming in contact with
particles Of lime will unite with il
and remain in the top soil--if there
is little lime left in the top soil (tht
feeding area) it may also lock ur
with iron or aluminium and become
unavailable for future use. Manure
on rich lime soils, will last much lone
er than on soils deficient in lime since
the plant food, which is being liber.
ated by the active bacterial flora, il
it is not used by the plants will have
a better chance Of being converted
into an easily broken insoluble form
than it would in a soil deficient il
lime. 1t is better to understand some
what Of these processes Of nature ir
order to appreciate the great import
ance Of applying lime to the farm
lands before the need becomes toe
great. We do practically the sams
amount of work on the and in pre-
pairing it for crop and in planting
and harvesting and it would certain
ly pay any one to get larger returns
for the labor expended ana the seed

SAN FRANCISCO TO
HAVE GREAT BRIDGE
Project Is to Connect the City
With the Mainland Of
Alameda County.

San Francisco's "ChInese wall" as
some have called the waters Of San
Francisco bay, which separates this
peninsula city from the continental
mainland OF Alameda county, Is to be
crossed, according TO plans announced
here recently.
All the plans call for a bridge across
the bay, with one scheme proposing
tube to Yerba Bucna island, half way
across, and bridge the rest Of the
distance.
Bridging the bay would, It is
claimed, bring closer together the city
Of San Francisco with the cities Of
Oakland. Berkeley Alameda and
other points on the continental side Of
the metropolitan area.
Daily hunrdeds Of thousands Of peo-
Pile who live across the bay cross on
the ferries, and generally, on Sundays
and holidays, the ferry systems can
not keep up with the crush Of automo-
biles seeking passage across.
Engineers are discussing the type
Of bridge to be built The proposal
to utilize Yerba Buena island calls for
tube from the San Francisco side, q
railroad around the Island and a sus.
pension bridge to the end Of one long
ferry pier already built. Another
scheme Is to cross the bay with o
bridge over the shallow waters lead

clared that the money FOR the bridge
proposed by LindenthnI can be raised

Chambers Of commerce on both sides

are supporting the proposals.

DISTRICT THREE ROADS.

The committee appointed from the
board of supervisors to lay out the
new road from the Hickory Ridge
road to the Port Gibson Rocky
Springs road performed that duty
Tuesday. The editor of the Reveille
expected to be with the committee to
go over the proposed route and at the
same time be with Mr.. Regan and the
other members Of the board when they
inspected and accepted the Little Sand
bridge and enjoy the hospitality of the
home Of Mr.. Regan, but unexpected
things prevented.
The proposed road intersects the
road near Midway, and extends a dis
tance of about three miles. 1t will
give the residents Of the Hickory
Ridge neighborhood the benefit Of the
Little Sand bridge. 1t will also elm
mate two bridges, one Of which, an
iron bridge, will be used elsewhere.
Another road which has been built
in that district runs from the Carlisle
road to Rocky Springs. This road is
two miles in length and passes
through the Guthrie, Browder and
Whitaker places.

l,94O BALES OF
COTTON GINNED
Almost Four Times More Than to the
Same Date Year Ago.

According to the report Of the gin
statistician Of Claiborne county, there
were 1,940 bales Of cotton ginned to
Sept 25th this season, compared with
505 to the same date year ago.
While it was generally known that
this years ginning was far in advance
Of last season, the above figures,
which show practically four times
more bales than in 1920, are rather
startling.
For more than two weeks the Rev
ellie has been told that practically all
of the crop had been ginned, but re-
ceipts seem to continue almost as
great as before that time, and we are
Of the opinion that considerable more
cotton has been raised than is gener-
ally believed. We have noticed that
dry years are deceptive, causing crop
prognosticators to invariably UNDER
estimate the yield.
The Reveille has been inclined to
place the yield Of the county at from
5000 to $500 bales. but others more
capable of making estimates figure
the crop as high as 1000 bales.
