NEW WITNESS FOR MIR. BRYAN

Mr. Bryan for one proudly refuses to recog nize those funny and pathetic creatures de- cared by Darwin to be man $ poor relations, the tribesmen of the simian family. He spurns with scorn Mr. Darwin's patient effort to cat alogue the resemblances between the human and simian types, and excoriates the idea, fostered by MT. Darwin, that his ancestors in the misty past wore hair from head to foot, lived on nuts and herbs and fruits, and hung pendant among the leafy boughs by their pre- hensile tails.
 MT. Bryan proclaims against all such theories Man is of divine origin, he declares, and proves his contention by the Good Book. No doubt he is right, but
 Out in the Philippines there's a strange creature called the Talking Lizard of Luzon, raising suspicion that Darwin was on the right track in his quest of the origin of species. If Darwin concluded that man had evolved from the very lowest forms, including the liz ard, here's a disturbing coincidence It talks! And it speaks English--only few words, it is true, always the same--an interrogative in ribald tones: 'What, You'"
 The big Luzon lizard was taught English, so the Spanish priests at ani1a declare, by the American soldiers twenty years ago, and "What you,'' in tones of astonished incredu- ity, was the izardly greeting to the night prowling soldier when he tried to sneak into bed. The lizard would tell the world.
 MT. Joseph Trenker, Signal Corps veteran at Cordova, offert himself as witness to the fact that Luzon lizard talks and this is what it

Hon. R. E. Remington, a Mississippi
Philanthropist.

The Mississippi correspondent of

ing something praiseworthy of Mis-

Robert E. Remington, leading
merchant Of Mississippi, caused in
terest in the fiercely contested bat
tie of ballots to wane for a time on
primary election day. People united
in praising Mr.. Remington for his
generous action in this matter.
The name of Remington in Jack
so and throughout Mississippi has
for number of years been synony-

grew from boyhood to manhood, and

GRAND JURY SHOULD BE SUP.
PORTED BY PEOPLE WHO
FAIL TO TESTIFY

Citizens of Hazlehurst held meet
ing to devise ways and means of sup
pressing the making and selling Of
white lightning and boot-leggings.
This is evidence that the people of
Hazlehurst want the business stop
ped.
The last Lincoln County Grand
Jury report intimated strongly that
our people are tamely submitting to
law infractions, especially as it re-
lates to the manufacture and sale of
this damnable stuff"
That jury attributed 80 per cent
Of the crime that now exists in Lin
coin due to the use of bad liquor. I'm
a great many parts of this county
we and condition that exists that
is horrifying and shocking indeed"
says the report.
The Grand Jury were made to feel
they were not strongly backed in
their Investigations by the people.
They begged ministers Of the Gospel
to aid In law-enforcement and fur
ther asked for the next Grand Jury
the cooperation and support of the
people, that had been withheld from
them. The people should help
the judge, the jury, the district at
torney, the sheriff and other officers
to stamp out the foe to happy homes
and clean citizenship. How else can
they serve under the law?
If this matter could just be got
ten on the consciences of our people
and every citizen that knows about
the sale and manufacture, or has ev-
idence of it, would realize he is par
ticeps criminis in every crime trace
able to 1t which he really is - he
would witness for the truth as he
knows 1t and it wouldn't be long be-
fore the nefarious traffic was stamp
ed out of existence.
Public sentiment against the sale,
manufacture and use of outlawed
drink needs emphasis to make ii
felt and effective. And public senti-
men expressed as Hazlehurst has ex.
pressed it in determination to
put an end to the "horrifying and
shocking conditions" Lincoln county
is ashamed to own, could put an end
to the whole matter.
The officers OF the law shouldn't
be blamed for what their constituents
fail to give in cooperation and ser.
vice as the law directs and as good
citizenship suggests. Power is vest
ed in the people who govern.

OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK BY sENA
ToBIA DEMOCRAT EDITOR.

An exhaustive Investigation OF the
cattle industry in this country, made
by some Of the large farm magazines
OF the east shows an alarming
shortage of all types of beef cattle.
The great stock yards of Chicago,
Kansas City and Omaha are almost
bare of prime stock and a heavy fall
ing off in Gamers and undersize stock
is noted. The feeder pens are barren
and the corn farmers of the middle
west are having a hard time finding
feeder stock for their lots this win
ter. From every section of the coun-
try the same report is in evidence.
The short sighted policy of the pack
ers and brokers and meat gamblers
has wiped out the surplus of the
breeding stock and it will be several
years before 1t can be replaced. Here
ford bulls are at premium in the
middle west and in many places not
to be had.
Next year meat prices will rise
two or three times above their pres
ent levels. The farmer who has
bunch of young steers will do
well to swing on to them at all costs
for they mean growing profits. 1t
is common knowledge that cattle
raised In this section has barely paid
the freight charges when shipped to
Chicago and st. Louis. This has
probably caused an increase in the
number of cattle in this section.
Over the country generally however,
it has been just the opposite. Mil
lions of calves have been slaughtered
hnnonCn n
see where there was profit to be
made in cattle. The packers have
manipulated the price, robbing the
producer, until thousands of feeders
have quit the business; parent herds
have been shipped to the slaughter
ing pens and the great plains coun-
try with it's millions of head of
grazing stock Is but a memory so far
as cattle are concerned. OF course, all
this means higher prices to the con-
sumer, butsit also means that the
packers will have to bid high anoth-
er year to get cattle at all. The situa-
tion has changed and is in the
hands Of the producer now. The man
with thirty or forty head of cows
and something to feed them on this
fall and winter will find handsome
profit in his stock before the winter
of 1929 rolls around.
The editor Of this paper is sure
that this is true from what he
has learned in studying this propo-
sition and we want to urge our
county farmers to not only save
their cattle, keep it fed and in good
shape, but> to breed intensively for
greater production. You have lost
money on beef cattle the past four
years but you will make 1t the next
five years If you will get in and stay
in the game.
