Tho wheat growers' convention recently
hold in Greenwood was quite a
success, and though it was the first
meeting held in this state good was
accomplished with a very good attendance
of farmers present. The next
meeting is to be heid in Greenwood
next year.
At a lute meetingof the penitentiary
board a resolution was passed directing
the Attorney General to proceed
to colloct the amounts due by Col.
Neal and others to the State. Tillman
and John Gary Kvaus arc in it
for Col. Neal.it is understood,
has asked an interview* with the Governor
to arrange to pay his shortage.

It It Stated that the Indiana Democrats
aro solid for Bryan and will
send a solid Bryan delegation to the
next National DemocraticConvent ion.
Col. IV. E. Mcl ..con, of Terro Haute,
Ind.,isln Washington. He is reported
as saying ''the Indiana democrat who
is not for Bryan and the Chicago
platform is a man without a party,
and his position u so lonesome that
he almost foels as though he had no
country." Look out for Bryan as
the next Democratic nominee for
President.
The movement which is on foot to
induce the cotton growers "to hold
back a part of their cotton, the par
ticulars of which we gave in an editorial
last week, seotns to he gaining
headway. We notice that the Texas
Grangers advise farmers to combine
to hold cotton hack; disposing of it |
piecemeal, one-third in September
and October, one-third in November
and December and one-third in January."
The Hoard of Trade of Nat he/,
Miss., also parsed resolutions endorsing
the plan. The Cotton Growers'
Convention will be held in New Orleans
in September, and this plan
will he thoroughly discussed at the
meeting, which will no doubt either
adopt the plan or suggest - unething
along the same line, l ulled ell' rt
js what is necessary l?e the plan what
it may.

WHEN ADVERTISING PA VS.
A 1ve-tisements sceai an essentia! ami
necessary j?sirt of a newspaper nowadays.
Most readers !oik over them, and i
some examine them before they read the
news. 'I here are pupeis that e intuiu
in tiling b it advertisements, but a paper
wholly without them is an undiscovered
inonstfo. itv.
Hut it was not always thus, for newspapers
existed long U'fore the advertisement
bacillus penetrated and pnnieat-d
them. Tlie first regular journal in Europe,
as far as definite pro >f goes, a;>peared
in I'll) at Strasshurg. It w.is a
weekly. There is no doubt, however,
that there were others a few years o! ler
so that the date of th app oaranee of
the first newspaper may he assumed t >
t)e about Id >0.
The first Fnglish journal appeared isi
liV2'2 and the first French one in hi ll.
11; Fnglaad and (icnn my newspapers
multiplied rapidly, but in France their
development was slower.
These journals at first contained ouly
political news, but they soon begin to
mention other tilings, such a? striking
natural phenomena and great p.i'oll.' fei
tivitios. of advertising there was not a
trace.
At thiss 'ison of th> year m ny a 1- ;
viuti-ers decide that they must curtail
their advertising appropriation, ail in
conseipienec almost drop out of sight.
Careful advertiseis have come to consider
the summer months just as necessary
in which t > push their business as
the spring and autumn mouths.' It was
not so long ago that advertisers eonsid
ered it a waste of money keep their
advertising before tlu? public during the
warm months, but expelienee has taught
them better. It was hennl on every
hand that during the warm weather the
people were out of town, or the weather
was so hot that they did not care to
venture out to buy, these were given as
excuses for mV advertising. l?u' the;
progressive, up-to-date merchants know !
better now : it is true that a large nttin- j
her of people leave town during the j
summer, but they are not otic tenth of
I per cent, of the number who stay
in town. It is to those who stay at
home that the merchant must cater, and
he has learned that the succ. ssful way
to accomplish this is through the > >1umns
of their local paper, with catchy
and attractive advertisements. These
J people who stay at home have their daily
wants which are i est as necessary 11
supply as the more foitunatc people w!i >
can affoid to leave town dining the
I warm weaVhev. \i goes without saying
' that all aiHelen of merchandise cannot
he advertised during th<- warm weather,
but such things as proprietary articles,
hats, caps, shoes and clothing must he
used all the year round, and la nce it is
necessary to keep them before the public.
< >ue thing that should be avoided
in the preparation of an advertisement
for the warm months is the overcrowding
of the advertising space. When the
weather is hot people will not wale
through a long-winded, solid-typed statement
or desci iption. Advertisements
-honld he intcicstiniJt and to the point,
s ? as to catch the eye of the reader and
chain his attention so that ho will forget
a'vmt the hot weather for the time being.

It has co:no to our ears that a
movement is on fool to build a $ -'><?,(hhi
cotton mill in our sister town,
Jonesville. Hurrah for Jouesville 1
She is on tlie right track: her wideawake
and progressive citizens seem
to be ever on tlie alert to push forward
any and every industry looking
to the progress and upbuilding of
this little city. Several enterprises
are already in successful opperatiou
there; but one thing she yet lacks,
and that is a cotton mill. They seem
to havo recognized this fact and are
trettiticr their heads together to sup
ply the need. These people, when
they take hold of n thing, usually
hang on until they make a success of
it. Now let them hold up their record
and leave no stor.e unturned to
accomplish the building of this cotton
mill. They could not possibly
bend their best energies to anything
which would be a belter paying investment,
or tend more to a solid and
substantial growth and upbuilding
of the town. Let every merchant
and every citizen join in. put a shoulder
to tIre wheel, take stock in the
mill, thus becoming individually interested
in the enterprise, elect live
men who will take up the work with
spirit and a determination to overcome
uil obstacles and stop at nothing
short of success. Then let nil
make a strong pull, a steady pull
and a pull altogether, and our word
for it success will crown the effort.
I'nion's mammoth cotton mills
were built just this way, and they
are a glorious iilustration of what
can be accomplished by united ell'ort.
Build the mill at .lone>vil!e by all
means, ar.d when you watch the
smoke curling from tin tail stack,
listen to the music of thousands of
dying shuttles and whirling bobbins,
and see numbers of houses going up

.1 DAXGEROUS PRACTICE.
hast Friday night during the burning
of .Mrs. Jeter's barn we were not
awakened by the pop-pop-pop of ! *??
pistol but by the hurried foots'ops of
those running to the tire: after being
aroused we could hear the fusillade of
the pocket howitzers all around. This
is a dangerous practice that the council
has been tolerating for seyor.il
years but should be stopped at once.
Those who do the shooting doubtless
think they are doing a publie service
in arousing the people and thereby
getting as much help to the tire as
possible. Hut is it a fact that they
arouse anyone? The people have become
so accustomed to the firing of
pistols at night that when they hear
a shot they turn over and go.to sleep
again, thinking perhaps sonic one has
shot at a dog or some fool, at that
moment, has an empty pistol.
Some years since while with a party
of friends at the iiotel the alarm of
lire was heard?of course all rushed
out. but when the visiting men
reached the street such a shooting of
pistols was heard that they returned
to the protection of the brick walls
until "'the pickets had roe-'iblished
tlii-ir linos and ceased firing."
While the practice lias been going
or: without restraint for several ye.irtl
>houid io. prohibited and an example
made of someone. Fortunately
no one iias ever been hit by stray b'tl
I! * <. nut wo are now more thickly
st it led than t-vi r before, and though
they may "shoot in t!io air" yet the
builds has to drop and should it hi.'
uiv ono while dropping the
will be as great as while ascending.
I'.\ tlie by there is entirely too much
diooting at night around town. It is
rue it is hard to locate but should
he eon noil o.Ter sufficient reward I hey
an get some one to report and then
uakc the olTendcr pay the expense.

The persistence on the part of the
Canadians to secure an outlet on the
Pacific coast direct from the Klondike,
is more important to American interests
than lias been generally supposed.
American prestige isthrcateneil
and this country must look to it- interests
in the Pacific if it intends
to hold the paramount position there.
There are some individuals who are
constantly harping on the heartlessness
of corporations, but the recent
action of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
in providing a pension list for it< employees,
will probably cause a cessation
of such talk.

The activity displayed by the Wai
Department those days is in strong
contrast to the passivity that prevailed
several weeks ago. Mr. Root is
showing the army officers how a
civilian can conduct a war, who hano
axes to grind and no scores to pay
o!T. The change should have boon
made months ago. It came none too
soon.
