THE CHAMPION ME AH KAN
A speaker at a rdeent editorial
convention in Missouri delivered
himself of the following:
“But, li e very worst form of in¬
decency and dishonesty that can
bo practiced on a publisher is to
take his paper on credit and then
move away without either paying
what you owe him or telling him
(>f ^ of atldrGtsa . A man
guilty .. of . action like , , ,. this .
an is
nothing sliotl of being a hog—or a
dishonest man. I have no ciinaci
tv of language sufficient to express
my contempt for such a man, and
no man who lias heard of the facts
in the case would do anything but
despise him.;’
HIS TIME IS NOT WORE $2.00.
The editor of the Lynnville
Herald slates that, to secure tlie
reading of tlmt paper without sub¬
scribing for i(, a man walks two
miles and back every week to bor¬
row it of his father or 208 miles
in a year for $2.00.
Too true, brother, too true.
And we’ve got some of the same
cattle down this way. They will
stand around for half a day wait¬
ing their turn to borrow and read
Tub Recoiid that they may cuss
tlie editor. And tlie editor is dead
certain to keep ’em in cussin’ ma¬
terial. They are too stingy—
mean—and that’s the meanest
menu ami t he stiugyest stingy on
earth—to subscribe and pay for
the paper. But lie has a brother
in character not two inches be¬
hind him. Wo refer to the hog
that will take a newspaper on
promise to pay, read it for months
and months, and then refuse to
take it out of tho postofSce with¬
out first ordering it stopped and
oaying for it. Both
are fittingly portrayed in the
Col. Tom Howard’s illustration
M. A. Candler. Their souls
have its much room in a
seed as a hat would in a meet
house.

’TfiTungi'y people think less about
liberty than about something
put into their stomachs. Hungry
people will vote for food rather
than for freedom. Hungry men
cannot be depended on to tight for
their rights. A people reduced to
want and hunger are already en¬
slaved. A hungry people siever
yet achieved liberty. Tlie stom¬
ach isciioi the seat of patriotism'.
Dependence, and not independence,
is located in the stomach.—Social
Economist.
ENGLAND RULES.
England has conquered this
country without firing h single
gun. As Dr. Benj. Andrews truth
fully says: “The New York bank
er tells the banker of tho west
what principles ho must follow
politically and in a business way.
The New York banker is subject
to the dictation of London. We
are like a fan. From one center,
London, comes the edict to New
York. From there it is distribut¬
ed to the various parts of the
United States, and tho people are
subservient to a system, the foun¬
tain head of which is iu England,
the active body in New York and
its tributary in every city of the
United States.”
Tub war situation is unchanged!
to date, though the investigation i
have finished their ia- :
and are expected to make;
report to the president this!
when something definite as
the plans of tlie^ictministralion
he mitdc’public. Consul Gen¬
Fitzliogh Lee, at Havanna,
prominently out as the great¬
American of them all, nobody
barred. And it would mean much
for the ppiited States if ho were
put in lull command of oar army.
QUEJ5R LEGISLATURE.
The Georgia Legislature regalds
football as brutal and lias passed
an act to prohibit the sport. The
very same legislature, however, re¬
fused to pass a measure forbiding
the employment in workshops and
factories of children under 13
years of age.
It is a peculiar sense of public
duty that leads the legislature to
seek to protect from the results of
their own dancing sturdy and ro¬
bust young men, while regarding
with unconcern tlie dwarfing of
little children by premature em¬
ployment, which not only stunts
physical gnwth, but takes the lit¬
tle one from the schoolroom, where
they properly belong.—Chicago
News.
A SNAKE CHARMING.
Having road with much interest
of what the tablet's know about,
snakes swallowing tlmir young, I
wish to remark that only poison
snakes do so, such as rattlers, ad¬
ders, etc. The non-poisonous lay
eggs in the earth, and the iille fid
lows have to hustle from hatching
time. But 1 want to tell what I
actually know about snakes hav¬
ing the power to charm. \Y hen I
was young and out hunting squir¬
rels in a Georgia forest, we heard
a cat. squirrel, not over a hundred
yards ahead, and it was chattering
at a terrible rate.
Wo hastened on to see what the
trouble was, and on arriving on
the spot, heard ilial peculiiuvjiiss
ing, singing sound of a rattlesnake
(which once heard is never forgot¬
ten). Tho rattler lay in his coil,
about night foot from a tall oak
tree. Up among the top branches
was the little gray squirrel, run¬
ning up and down the tree, and
chattering tuvay, as if calling for
help. We soon noticed that each
time he would come down the.,tree
two or three feet lower Bb n before,
and wou'i&tof go so liigfi tip. This
feat tho jailer ovid.n1* under
stood, fot'^lm lay perfectly sti 11 v
only bis tail quivering, which sent
out, the peculiar singing. Finally
tho little squirrel had left the tree
and would go within two or three
feet of tho rattler's^end, and then
run back as if i't-wonld escape up
the .tree. At last its hair was all
turned forward, anif • it went right
• rattler’s mouth, Tlie
up to .the
rattler opened its huge month, and
was just i^n the act of seizing it by
the head, when, taking quick aim,
1 shot tho rattler in twain about
six inches from its head, As
neither the snake nor squirrel had
seemed to take any notice of me,
I was within 10 feet qf the rattler
when I fired. As I remember it,
it must lqtve been about half an
h ull* before the little squirrel was
sufficiently recovered to go away.
Since that time, I have known of
the common black snakes taking
birds in the same wav.—J’. P. Ha
iuil in American AgricuUtH^.

Cotton today is selling at less
than 5 cents, and this means the
insignificant sum of 10 cents a
day for the labor of the man who
is distinctively a cotton grower.
I make this statement deliberately
and defy successful contradiction.

Growers’ Convention.
The Saboard Air Line Scores An¬
other Point.
Tlie Seaboard Air Line has, for a
longtime, contended that as it coaid
not get its sleepers south of Atlanta
and north of Washington, while other
should, lines were allowed this privilege, it
therefore, be allowed a differ¬
ential rate. This matter was taken up
recently with the Southeastern Pas¬
senger Assoeiatian, the Trunk Line
Association and the Association of
Virginia and tlie Carotiuas, and the
Seaboard Air Line’s claim for differen¬
tials was allowed.
The tariffs just published by-the
above associations show standard rates
by all lines between I tie north and
south,gs well as the differential rate
via file Seaboard Air Line, which rate
is $3.00 less than llmt shown by other
lines. Tlie standard rate between
New York and Atlanta is $21; tile
differential rate via the Seaboard Air
Line is $21; the rate between Wash¬
ington and Atlanta is $17.50, (lie dif¬
ferential rate via tlie Seaboard Air
Line is $11.50. This differential ap¬
plies between ail important cities in
the Southwestern Passenger Associa¬
tion’s territory, tlie Trunk Line Asso¬
ciation territory.
The Seaboard Air Line now lias the
matter up with the New England Pas¬
senger Association, looking to tlie
publishing of these differential rates
in their tariffs. As soon as this is
granted if is understood that the Sea¬
board Air Line will then goto the
with Mississippi Passenger Association publish
a request that that they
like rates from their territory. When
this is done the Seaboard Air Line
will have a differential on all business
which it is competitor tor, east of the
