HUMOR OFTHE HOUR
Hay Fever,
The physician cnrried in his band ft
buuch of artificial goldenrod.
“I’ll play a joke with this,” he said,
“on a hay fever patient”
And he placed the goldenrod In «
vase on his table In the hotel dining
room.
The elderly colonel who sat beside
the physician was the victim of hay
fever, and no Booner did he see the
goldenrod than lie turned red with
rage. •
"Of all the contemptible tricks I
Jver”— he began. But a terrific sneeze
aterrupted him. He sneezed again
and again, irritating every one, mak
ing the windows rattle. Tears coursed
from his eyes, and la the pluses of this
paroxysm be gasped for breath.
“Of all the contemptible”— he pant
ed. “Of all the—a- a—a—choo! A—*- -
ft—choo! A—a—choo!” :■
Finally he could speak.
"Take away that goldenrod!” he said
to hhe waiter. "Just look at the spell
it has given me1 Who put it there?”
"i put It then*/’ Said the physician.
"You had little to do!” said the colo
nel bitterly. “Look at the state it has
put me in!”
Then the physician and every one
else at the table burst into loud'laugh
ter.
“It is artificial,” they cried in chorus
—“artificial goldenrod! You have sneez
ed and gone on like this over a bunch
of paper flowers.”
The colonel, seeing the joke, laughed
himself. The phjpiclan said in a con
solatory voice:
“Never mind, colonel; you are not ti»6
first hay feverlte this trick has fooled.
The fact is I have never seen It fall
yet. Inevitably In August, If you put
artificial flowers before hay fever pa
tients, they go Into terrific spells of
sneezing, being affected just the same
as they would be if the flowers were
real.”—Philadelphia Bulletin.

you well enough to know that I don’t
want to mix in your society. I’m not
mashed on anything that’s all head and

ASSUMING TOO MUCH VIRTUE.
In the paragraphs published in
tbe last issue of the Advocate,
clipped from the Brookhaien
Leadei, relative to tbe oath taken
in Lincoln county by members of
the farmers’ league, etc., we
should hare said, and do now say,
that we bad no thought of charg
ing or intimating that members
of tbe farmers’ league, an organi
zation in this county, ever took
such an oath as the ones publish
ed from Lincoln county, and in
justice to the people of this coun
ty, many of whom were members
and as good people as can be
found anywlTere, ~we will state
that their farmers’ organization
was not identical with any organ
ization of similar name in Lincoln
or any other county. Tha Advo
cate at the time the farmers’
league was organized published
its by-laws and declaration of
principles, and commended the
organization to the public as a
body favoring law and order,
which at that time, was so much
needed on account of white cap
disturbances. We make this ex
planation to set us right in tbe
matter, believing as we do, that
many of our citizens, personally
known to us, who were members
of the farmers’ league, were en
tirely incapable of taxing such an
oath. We published the article
as a news item only from Lincoln
county, without comment or en
dorsement. We will further state
without fear of contradiction that
crime of the more serious nature
is on the decrease in this county,
and as we stated in an issue a
month ago, peace has been restor
ed. We reap more pleasure in
commending the good than in con
demning the ted.—Franklin
County Advocate.
The members of the. farmers’
league who spoke to the Advocate
with that air of injured innocence
and that paper itself are making
entirely too great claims for the
farmers’ league of Franklin coun
ty. It is true that the Advocate
in 1902 published the by-laws and
declaration of principles of the
farmers’ league, and that later,
having failed to secure the ap
proval of Gov. Longino as a law
ful organization and being under
grave suspicion of responsibility
for the white capping in east
Frhnklin and west Lincoln its
leaders deemed it advisable to call
a meeting in Meadville and for
mally “disband” the league; but
if the Advocate will investigate
into the facts impartially, it will
discover that a large part of the
Frankiln membership never, dis
banded in fact—that the Meadville
performance was a sham so far,as
they were concerned, to mislead
the public and the officials—and
that no genuine white capper is
expert enough to explain just
where the farmers’ league ceased
and the white cap organization
began. The Advocate will also
discover, when it learns more
about its subject that the secret
oath published in lhe Leader and
by the Lincoln grand jury in its
report is practically the same ob
ligation which had been taken by
the men who participated in the
big “Shallow Ford meeting” in
Franklin county before the so
called farmers’ league disbanded,
at which “Shallow Ford meeting”
a prominent Franklin, leaguer is
alleged to have proclaimed to
those present that “the only good
niggers are dead niggers;” and
that no other secret oath was in
general use among farmers
leagues or white cappers in Amite,
Eranklin and Lincoln counties be
fore or after the before-mentioned
“disbandment” at Meadville.
Oath No, 2, published in The
Leader, and for which a Franklin
(not a Lincoln) farmers’ leaguer
vouches, was not in such general
use as No. 1, and seems not to
have been administered except to
members of the “inner circle”
when “moving orders” were giv
en and niggers were to be made
“good niggers” according to the
formula of the Shallow Ford
spokesman already mentioned.
The Leader is gratified to note
that Gov. Vardaman has employ
ed Detective Hoyt to take up the
Franklin investigation seriously,
and that -the good citizens of that
county who hav^ never figured as
farmers leaguers or white caps
are pledging their hearty co-oper
ation to the movement. We pre
dict now that when the uncover
ing work is done in that county as
it was in this, our neighbor, the
Advocate, will discover that it has
been both too previous and too
fulsome in its apology.
After what has become noto
rious about white cappers in
E'ranklin county, for the last
grand jury of that county to mys
teriously ignore its own offenders
and indict two men of Lincoln,
and they the v^ry two members
of the order who had done most
here to expose and break up this
criminal organization, bespeaks
in thunder tones the bald hypocri
sy and self-simulated virtue of the
B’ranklin white cappers voiced
through the Advocate.
This raav be the idea of the
Franklin white cap leaders as to
tne Desc way to restore peace,”
but The Leader predicts that the
State and U. S. authorities will
both teach them quite another les
son before the curtain is finally
rung down on Franklin white
capism.
The Leader is pleased that the
Advocate can “state without the
fear of contradiction that criratf of
the more serious nature is on the
decrease in this (Franklin) coun
ty.” God knows that in that
county, as in Lincoln, there is
room for improvement!

Lodge, No. 241, A. F. and A. M.,
and of Brookhaven Chapter and
Council and St. Elmo Com

and one of a great deal of interest
to all concerned. Notwithstand
ing the inclement weather, there
was an attendance of over 60 per
sons, who enjoyed the ceremonies
greatly.
W. H. Seavey acted as install
ing officer; and, it goes without
saying, filled his part to the cred
it of himself and the Lodges. . A
magnificent supper, prepared by
the members and their families,
was served and was pronounced
one of the finest ever given by
those so' fortunate as to be pres
ent.
The committee of arrangements
are due the thanks of the Lodge
for the able manner in which they
performed their duties and which
aid go much toward making the
affair the great success it was.

Hot HU Proper Calling.
The late Bishop Dudley of Kentucky,
says the Springfield Republican, was
on a hunting expedition near Louisville
and happened to fall in with a local
Nimrod whose unconcealed admiration
for the city man’s marksmanship paved
the way for further conversation.
“What’s your name?” the country
man finally inquired.
“Dudley,” was the reply.
After some change of incident and
experience the bishop’s interlocutor
hazarded:
“Say, Dudley, what business do you
follow?" -
“I’m a preacher.”
"Oh, get out What are you giving
me?”
"But I am. I preach every Sunday."
“Where?”
"In Louisville.”
“Well, well, I never would have
thought it You ain't stuck up a bit
like most of the preachers down this
Way.”
An invitation to hear this new made
acquaintance preach was accompanied
"THE.LORD MEANT TOU FOR A HUNTER.”
by a scribbled card, and the next Sab
bath saw the rustic in his “Sunday
best” ushered into the bishop’s own
pew, where he listened Intently to both
service and sermon.
He was manifestly amazed after
ward to have the orator of the morn
ing come down to greet him as cordial
ly and familiar as In the woods. He
managed to stammer his thanks and
added:
“I ain’t much of a judge of this kind
of thing, parson, but I riz with you and
■ot with you and saw the thing through
the best I knew how. But, all the same,
if my opinion is wurth anything to you,
the Lord meant you for a hunter.”
