NEARING THE 5000.
Local Gin Turned Out More Than 500
Bales Since Report Of 18th.

There is little doubt that the county
cotton crop win reach the 5000 bale
mark. The Port Gibson Oil Works
Gin has ginned little more than 500
since the report Of the 18th Of October.
The report gave a total Of $3.50, and
the 500 added leaves only $50 bales.
The other gins Of the county have
probably ginned that amount already.

uNuruIzED WISDOM

The art of achieving prominence
brings many people to positions OF
authority who are not fitted to ex.
ereise Leadership. They have no dis
eliminating sense of justice. Nor
can they make any original contrib.
ution toward solving the problems
that vex society.
But they have a certain Gift OF
plausible talk. They are very ready
OF speech and are primed with a
quick answer to objectors. Their
superficial views are widely accept.
ed as wisdom. When they acquire
positions of power, they lack the
Imagination and insight to create
new and better systems of human
organization. They accept obsolete
and outworn methods. and are en-
obstacle in the way Of social pro-
gress.
Meanwhile one is often impressed
with the number OF obscure people,
not known outsid of their own cir.
cles, who have sound and common
sense ideas, and keen and pene.
trating analysis of the life about
1hem' Their mental clarity and ori.
ginal suggestions seem to meet the
needs of human society. One of.
ten wishes that such types of peo.
pie could obtain positions of influ.
ence, where they could put their
sagacious ideas into effect.
But people of this kind frequent.
~ have no gift for leadership. They
are not good takers in public, and
become confused IL asked to or.
plain their ideas to a large assem-.
biage. They could not run success.
fully for office. as they would make
no kind of appearance on the
stump, and any monthy hecklcr
could put them in confusion.
1t fs one Of the problems of soc.
iety. to know how to utilize better
the gifts of those keen but oh.
scure people. Some time public
speaking will be insisted upon as
an essential part of everybody's edu-
cation. Then the. man who has
ideas will be trained from youth
to express them in public, and to
be able to think as he goes along.
The community possesses riches of
wisdom which 1t fails to utilize.

ZlHLMAN SAID TO BE SLATED
 FOR CABINET
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-(Special Correspondence). - Senator Harding is now making up his cabinet slate. From all that can be learned here. at this time, in addition to the selection of Harry Daugherty, Will Hays, and in all probability former Senator Weeks of Massachusetts for cabinet posts. Representative Frederick N. Zihlman. of Maryland, is said to have the in- side track for appointment as secre- tary of labor.
 At first 1t was reported that Repre. sentative John I, Nolan, of California, had good chance to become head of of the labor department. It has de- veloped, however, that there is con- siderable opposition to Nolans ap- pointment, These objections are based on reports that the Californian, while a laboring man, is a radical closely associated with Senator Hir- am Johnson, who is understood to be backing the Noland candidacy. John- son is radical of radicals, and was formidable foe to Hardings nomina- tion at Chicago. This in itself, accord ing to many Washington observers, will prevent MT. Harding accepting any cabinet recommendations that Johnson may make. Then, too, it is said Noland had very little to do with California going Republican in the last election. Nolan has the backing of President Samuel Gompers, of the Amercan Federation of Labor, but in view of the violent attacks made by MT. Gompers on Senator Harding dur ing the last campaign the otherwise powerful influence of the American Federation of Labor will not amount to very much if anything with Mir. Harding. G0mDers' and Johnson's ad- vocacv of N0lan's appointment are said here to be very detrimental to the Californian's cabinet chances. It is eaid the endorsement of these two men has practically put Nolan out of the cabinet race
 On the other hand Representative Tihlman, union labor man in his whole career, who carries union card, has many factors in his favor

IF KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have been eating too
 much meat

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region 1t generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which ovevworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; Temov- ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache. sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue ia coated and when the twinges. The urine is cloudy. full of sediment, channels often get sore. water sca1ds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable phy- sician at once or get from your phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts: take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lith-a, and has been used for generations to clean Ind stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer ir- ritates, thus ending bladder weak aess.
 lad Salts is a life saver for reguIar meat eaters. It is inexpensive. car- not fnjure and makes a delightful eAervescent hthia-water drink.-Adv.

THE SHELTON COLLISION.

7. The horrible trolley wreck at Shelton .calls for and will receive a thorough in- 'Festigation. Efforts must of course be made to determine why it was two cars should attempt to bass on a single track, or why one of them had not waited for the other at the switch which had been passed but a short distance but quite as much attention needs to be directed to the report that there was five gallon ,an of gasoline on the front platform If one of the cars the explosion of which started Or increased the fire which swept the cars with such destructive effect to he humanity which was unable to escape It cannot be believed that the practice of carrying such highly inflammabe ma terial as gasoline on 3 trolley car is sane Honed. That it has been done in the past would seem to be indicated by the claim made in this case, and that it may have been one of those forbidden practices which had been winked at will be the con- clusion if the fact that gasoline was be- Ing transported is established. And yet If it isn't SO that the carrying of gaso- line on a trolley car is against the rules there has been furnished good and suffi-
 
 tion among the regulations.
 That such delivery might have beer made without any trouble in nine out oi ten trips is probable, but there is never. theless a hazard connected with the carrying of gasoline where so many live. are involved that needs to be careful! guarded Against Conveyances for tn transportation of the public are not ex Hected to include such a menace and ever though no harm might, have resulted hat the collision been avoided there are nev ertheless many ways in which it migh he exploded through carelessness or un Intentionally.
 Safety first measures apparently nee to be applied on that line in more way than one. Just what these are will b definitely disclosed by the investigatio and the presentation of the fasts sur rounding the wreck and the fire will ir 1icate the course that should be prompt ' followed.

CLEANING THE SIDEWALKS.

There is no way in which cooperative effort can be put to better use and accom- plish more satisfactory results than by having each one live up to the require ments of the city ordinances and see that sidewalk are cleaned after a snow storm covered with sand or ashes when they z are slippery. This is only. what should be done in justice to neighbors and other fellow citizens. It is part of ones duty as a member of the community as well as a legal rSquircment. The fact of the matter is bhat~ there wouldn't be any or. dinances governing the matter if every one lived up to his responsibilities. It is because there are those who do not and those who will not do t except that they are made to, that such laws are made necessary.
 It is therefore with interest that it is learned that the mayor, the street com omission and the chief of police have held "a conference regarding the cleaning oi - sidewalks and that notice has gone fortt -that respect for the ordinances governing the requirement will be insisted upon There is no good reason why one persor Should make determined efforts to clear his walk of snow and ice or to safe guard it by sanding it when slippery while others pay not the slightest atten -tion to such responsibilities.
 It is because there has been little at tention given to the enforcement of tn ordinances that people persist in dodgin; 4he shoVeling of snow. There have beel Hines when there might just as well hav been no ordinances so far as gettinl walks cleared by the slackers was con cerned The injustice of the non enforce -ment of the ordinances is not only ap parent but it is emphasized by, the mum Der of injuries and suits, for damage as the result of falls.
 Thus the notice to the effect that side walks must be cleared of snow, or mad safe for travel will be learned with muc satisfaction and it is to be hoped that will meet wHh such 9 hearty response O ,ihe part Of all concerned that enforce ,ment will rest entirely in the hands C The individual through recognition of tI1 Tact that the authorities will do their pal if he doesn't do his.
