DISTANT RUMBLE
OF POLITICS HEARD
"Crab Apple" Just Can't Keep
OFF Political Subjects-M.
DIS and Others Stung.


fool some one, or did you just plain
ly act fool. The 1st of April is
called "All-Fools Day" and "it's up
to YOU to decide whether the day
was yours or not.
Easter is getting to be more of a
day of display than of piety. True,
it should be a day for rejoicing but
this extra display of dress and gen.
eral tomfoolery is in no way a
demonstration of rejoicing over the
resurrection of Christ.
Spring is far in advance compared
with several previous. years, and
present indications are that crops
will mature earlier than usual, and
frost will come early in October or
the latter part of September. Either
way will suit us.
Physically and mentally, we are
just ordinary. In fact, we're as we
look. Now if about rs per cent of
cur readers would own up, the same
way, they might feel better. Humil-
ity is the best feeling yet.
Time will bring changes of GUS
toms in some communities, and pro-
badly after awhile when you meet
your neighbor instead of asking
How are you" he will ask: How
are the cows"
The farmers of this community re-
mind us of a sitting hen when she
is disturbed. They don't @ know
whether to plant cotton or not, and
if they do plant the stuff they can't
decide whether to go the whole hog
or plant small acreage. In the
meantime, they are certain of prices
they have to pay for farm equipment.
You can hear distant Senatorial
thunder and there will likely be wind
and lightning later on. There will
be larger vote cast at the next Sen
atorial election than in many years
past and there will probably be more
talking at the polls.
See here Brookhaven! You'd bet
ter sit up and take notice! There's
another town not far from you that
is outstripping you both in assort-
ments of mercantile commodities,
and, Oh well, we won't name the
other, but this town is a whizzer,
and it is raking in trade!
! There is some antipathy manifest
ed by the M. DIS against the Chiro-
practic method of relieving pain and
obstinate diseases. Some states
have legislated against the Chiro-
practic method and put the nerve
doctors out of business. When
Mississippi undertakes to stop the
Chiropractics from curing various
diseases without the use of nasty
drugs then she will have demonstrat-
ed the fact that she wants M. DIS the
wholesale and retail druggist to have
lick at you, while you saturate
your system with drugs, some of
which are as poisonous as white
lightning. Let the Chiropractics a.
lone, and if sufferer wants to give
them. trisl, it's nons of your af-
fair!
All material things die or perish
away. 1t is even so, that creeds or
religions are born and some of them
are short lived. These curious SER
vices are enjoyed by both the par
Elephants and curiosity seekers but
there is time for all things and
some of the modern religions will
soon pass away and something new
will spring up.
There is slight commotion in
some sections over the National pie
counter, and many post offices will
change masters within the next IL
months. It's right and consistent
/ to render unto Caesar the things
/ that are Caesars, and those who
were born Republicans should move
in and let the other fellow move out.
Of course this administration will be
cussed blue just like the last one for
it is impossible to please everyone
and on the other hand, no man is
infallible. But there is one idea that
a Republican administration tena-
ciously holds to, and that is the ap-
pointment of negroes to- government
offices. 1t is nauseating to self-re-
specting white women and men to
have to work with and sometimes
have a negro debating to them in
the various Offices in Washington
But the limit looms up here in the
South, when a negro appears at the
delivery window of a postoff1ce to de.
liver mail to a white public. No!
the Southern whites will kick every
time.
AS you get higher up the modern
scale please don't forget some ot
the primitive" customs of so anC
40 years ago. In this age if a young
ster were to appear before an au
dience and recite Mary had a Little
Lamb" or Hear the Children Gaily
Shout, Half Past Four and School i!
Out" there would be filters anC
some would feel humiliated over tn,
Stiffness and ignorance of the thing
1t won't be long before it will b,
considered disgrace for even maj
to ride horseback In public, but i
will not be secrilegious for some O
the women to appear in public dress
ed in thin game. The least you cal
wear the more up-to-date you ar,
considered by the worshippers o
fashion.
