The Stevenson That Never Grew

ters of Sidney Colvin's Memories
and Notes of Persons and Places
1S52-1912" (Scribner's) is on r. L. S.
1t says little of his childhood or OF
his rhymes and stories for children.
But there is a defence of some of his
ways which the hopelessly grown-up
looked upon as childish:
Given a nature differing suffi-
ciently from the average, perhaps the
real affectation would be that it
should force itself to preserve an av-
erage outside to the world Steven
sons uncut hair came originally
from the fear of catching cold. His
shabby clothes came partly from lack
of cash, partly from lack of care,
partly from hankering after social
experiment and adventure and a dis
like of being identified with any spe-
cial class or caste. Certainly conven-
tional and respectable attire, when by
exception he wore il, did not in those
days sit him well. Going with me
one day from Hampstead to the Royal
Academy Exhibition, he thought such
attire would be expected of him and
looked out black frock coat and tall
hat, which he had once worn at a
wedding. ] can see now the odd fig
ure he made as he walked with me
in that unwonted garb down Regent
street and along Piccadilly. True, he
carried his tall hat not on his head,
but in his hand. because it chafed
him. Also. being fresh from an en-
thusiastic study of the prosody Of
Milton, he kept declaiming to me with
rapturous comments as we walked
the lines and cadences which chiefly
haunted him.
His wrath
Burned after them to the bottomless pit
Like Teneriffe or Atlas. unremoved--
All night the dreadless angel, unpur-
sued
oh how comely IL is and how reviving
To the spirits of just men long opprest
And, incidentally, we commend this
passage to w. L. George, who scorns
poetry as foolish method of escape
from the difficulties of prose. r. l.. S.
appears by general consent to have
,braved those difficulties pretty sue
cessfully. And he was content to sit
at the feet of Milton-who wrote
some not wholly despicable prose
himself between the childishness Of
III Penseroso" and the senility of
Paradise Lost" and Samson Agon-
istes."

GEORGE SAYS
DON'T DO IT"
Warns Against Truck Farming
In New Territory

have been reading quite lot
in The Brandon News about the
truck fever of the people over
Rankin county. AS | have had
quite lot of experience in truck
farming thought it might be of
some interest 10 the people of
Rankin county for me to write
some words of the business. I
spent six years at Crystal Springs
in the truck business. I will say
first that l don't believe the peo-
pie could do anything worse than
to go into this business. | can't
think of single new place that
went into truck farming that
made success at the business in
the year 1914. A man went to
Newton to organize the farmers to
grow truck. The year previous
was fine year just as this year
has been. This man told the peo-
ple there, if every acre in Mississ-
lippi was planted to truck it would
not effect the price. What hap
pened? Three thousand acres
planted to cabbage alone produced
1900 cars of cabbage. The people
of Newton did not market a single
car of cabbage; had to plow them
under; completely broke lots of
well to do farmers, and now they
wont plant cabbage in their gar
dens.
Now take the tomato. That is
considered the surest crop-that
is money crop. If you have wet
June you can't get any thing for
them as they absorb an overplus Of
water which causes them to rot
before they reach the markets,
and if June is extremely dry, the
tomato will take what is called the
black rot.
Now the English pea is always
a good seller, but so many things
can happen to this crop I have
Iseen hundreds of acres completely.
destroyed by pea lice, which pest
they have to contend with about
every other year. | could write q
lot why think it bad business for.
our county to take up the truck.
The history of new places going
into the business is it generally
broke the people up before they
learned the business. There is no
kind of farming that is half so ex-
pensive as the truck business. 1t
takes at least $4,000 per acre to
grow the goods, and last but not
least don't ever go into the busi-
ness just after good year.
Now / don't want to discourage
the business but | would like for
the people to consider well before
they Jump into this kind of farm
ing.
With best regards to all the
people of Rankin county,
Your friend,
GEO S. WARE.

them to Jackson.
Inquest Held


The hangman's knot on the rope
with which Wimberly was hung
was taken to Jackson from the
Rankin farm by Sergeant Nun
merry, the body having been cut
down and buried ON the Rankin
farm. The negro remained on the
end Of the rope until about $50 a.
I'm.
The lynching party used the
SINE rope, 1-4-inch piece Of hemp
with which Wimberly tied his vic
tim before assaulting her.
An inquest was held and ver-
dict rendered to the effect that
Wimberly came to his death at the
hands of unknown parties.
Plot Had Been Formed
A thorough investigation made
by the prison authorities shows
that a plot had been formed by
several prisoners for an uprising,
the killing of all white officials ON
the farm, and a wholesale escape.
It SO happened that at the hour
fixed for the plot two of the ring
leaders therein had been sent by
Sergeant Lilley to a distant part
of the farm to repair a fence, and
Wimberly was left to carry out
the plot alone.
Wimberly, who had been en-
ployed for some time as trusty
at the Berryhill home, had stolen
gun from the house during the
night When Mrs. Berryhill went
to the dining room for breakfast
the negro became abusive, declar-
ing there was no breakfast for
her, and then committed the
assault.

The negro was captured during
the early afternoon by Robert Lii

Mr.. Sam Nunnery, travelling

Wimberly should never reach

"The Problem Eternar'

Harry Chandler and William B. Laub are probably the first authors of reputation to turn their attention to the very important work of editing and sub-titling motion pictures.
 The great importance of this partic ular branch of motion picture produc- tion has been realized, however, and it is universally admitted that proper editing and sub-titiing is as necessary to a good photoplay as is the director the sU2r or the story. In fact, no mat ter how capable the actors may be, how proficient the director, or how good the story-the merit of all will be for naught if the scene assembly is draggy, or the sub-titles unnatural or suited.
 With years of experience as writ CTS of both magazine fiction and orig inal photoplay stories. Harry Chand- lee and William R. Laub have brought to their work of editing and subtitle writing full knowledge of story con struction and dramatic values; and pictures which have passed through their hands are remarkable for the iluency with which the stories are un- folded, the perfect maintenance of in terest and suspense-and the natural
 sand often beauty of the sub- titles.
 A recent example of the work of these author-editors is "the Problem Eternal" showing at the Eagle thea tre this afternoon and tonight and at the Central theatre Sunday.
