NEGLIGENT OR LACKING Ilf ABILITY.
The prison trustees should a*
rouse themselves to the fact that
the squandering of the people's
money is not a political row be
tween Gov. Brewer and them
selves, but it is a matter in which
the whole State is involved and
The buncombe aod
interested,
blow aod fine show of propriety in
dealing with the governor on the
part of the trustees are not what
the people want or what they ex
pect and it leads to the belief that
the attitude of the prison board is
one of embarrassmeot and not co
operation with the governor in
turning up the theft and rotten
ness in the penitentiary manage
ment. The prison board should
wake up to the fact that the State's
money has been stolen and they
are expected to give an accounting
therefor.—Columbus Dispatch.
There is woeful negligence or
lack of business ability on the part
of the trustees;- This paper has
been slow to criticize the board,
but developments at the Parchmao
farm justify the above. It devel
oped during the taking of testi
mony that very poor methods were
used on the farm for looking after
the state's interests, and that one
of the trustees never visited the
farm and one of the other two sel
dom visited it.
As matters have been going, the
board of trustees should be abol
ished—it is worse than a useless
expense.
LET THE DELTA PAY THE FREIGHT.
Governer Brewer returned to
this city last night aod when seen
at the executive mansion an
nounced that he bad decided to
call an extra session of tbe legis
lature to meet in Jackson June 10
to pass legislation for tbe relief ot
delta citizens whose property is
subject to overflow and who oeed
a bond issue for tbe purpose o!
Strengthening the levees.
' 'Tbe Governor has been loath to
call this session. He has been im
portuned to do so for severa
weeks, but did not care for tbe ex
pense of a special session, and did
not especially want the legislature
to convene at this time.
However, after visiting Green
ville tbe Governor was impressef
with the neccesity of the session.
Tbe people of this section
have offered to pay for tbe mileage
and per diem of the session. The
Governor does not think this is ex
actly right, but it will be up to tbe
legislature to say whether tee peo
ple of tbe delta or the State pays
* the expenses.
It is not believed tbe session
will last long. Tbe Governor
will inform them on tbe first day
of tbe meeting the object for which
the session is called, and it is be
lieved that within at most two
days they will be able to pass tbe
laws asked and adjourn.—Clarion
Ledger.
We see no reason why tbe peo
ple of tbe delta should not pay tbe
expeose of tbe session. It is called
for tbeir benefit alone. The delta
has fattened largely at tbe expense
of the bills, and why ask more?
Tbe delta gets the lion's share of
the school distribution and it al
most depletes the hills of labor.
Let the delta pay the entire ex
pense of this extra session.
CABINET OF TOWN BOYS. .
The New York Christian Her
ald has discovered that President
Wilson's cabinet is made up of
men who were reared in small
country towns. It says:
"With a single exception, ev
cry member of President Wilson's
cabinet began life as a boy in some
small country town.
"Making tbe best use early
opportunities, they developed
their talents by study, steadily
working tbeir way through school
and in most cases throneb college
toward that broader experience in
tbe affairs of life which uitimatley
fitted them to become 'cabinet tim
ber. l*heir example should be an
inspiration to those who, being
born and raised in the small coun*
try towns, §1$ apt to consider their j
surroundings as unfavorable. If j
a youth has ambition and energy
he will surely find the gate of op
portunity open. In no part of
the world bave there been finer il
lustrations of the development of
self—reliance, prudence, concen
tration and those other traits of
character than in the country
town or village.
It is a well known fact that sev
enty-five per cent, at least, of the
professional men of the country
come from the villages and coun
try; and these, as a rule, stand
higher in tbeir .professions than
their city conferees. It is quite
evident that the quiet, uneventful
life not only gives better oppor
tunity for application, but the very
fact that there are not the attrac
tions supplied by the city, leaves
room for a taste for more profitable
things.
This being the case, the rapidly
fiiliog up of the cities to the detri
ment of the country must gradu
ally lower the mental standard, as
well as moral standard,of the coun
h
try.
THE FRIEDMANN SALE.
The mission ot Dr. Friedrich
Franz Friedmann to the United
States has been accomplished and
our early conjectures as to its pure
iy commercial object are fully con
firmed by the announcement of the
sale of the American rights in his
alleged remedy to a stock compa
ny. According to the terms of the
sale, this "scientist," as he is
called by a New York newspaper
which applauds the transaction,
receives $135,000 in cash and a
one-third interest in some thirty
five or forty "Friedmann Insti
tutes" to be planted in as many
States. This scheme of independ
ent "institutes," which recalls that
of another "scientist" with com
mercial instincts, the late Dr.
Keeley, has been adopted appar
ently to nulify the anticipated ac
tion of the Public Health Service
in forbidding the sale of the vac
cine. As the stuff will be made in
each "institute" and sold there it
will not be carried io interstate
commerce, so the Federal Govern
ment cannot interfere. When Dr.
Friedmann first came to New York,
we thought be bad been ill-advised,
but we were looking at the matter
from the side of ethics; we now
see, looking at it from an entirely
different side, that he has been
very well advised.
The result of the New York ex
periments would hardly seem to
warrant an outlay of $125,000 for
the Friedmann secret, but then the
stuff has been widely advertised
and moribund consumptives are
hopeful and credulous. There has,
as yet, been no official report on
tbe experiments with the turtle
bacillus culture in the hospitals in
this city, but it is very generally
known among medical men, if not
among the laity, that the results
have been not at all satisfactory—
except to Dr. Friedmann. Reports
from Berlin also are very far from
giviog support to the earlier state
ments that the patients treated
there are doing well. On the con
trary, many of the survivors are
stated to be doing very ill. One
of the reported cases, indeed, is of
most serious import aod it at once
brings up the question whether the
turtle bacillus is as innocuous as
Friedmann has claimed and as has
been generally belived—apparent
ly only on bis say-so. This case,
referred to by correspondents of
the Southern California Practi
tioner and the Lancet-Clinic, was
that of one of those who died after
treatment with the Friedmann vac
cine. The autopsy showed that«
be bad miliary tuberculosis, and
fresh tubercles were fouod in the
gluteal muscles, where the injec
tion of the assumed no-virulent
bacilli bad been made, and also in
the glaods receiving the lymph
from that region, but the corres
ponding parts on tbe opposite
side, where no injection bad been
made, were free from tubercles.
Only one ot Friedmann's New
York patients, so far as we know,
bas yet died.—Medical Record.
When Dr. Friedmann first be
gan demonstrating before tbe gov
ernment surgeons, the Reveille
took occasion to criticize tbe pro
fession because of its efforts to
hamper Dr. Friedmann's work.

THE SOUTH'S GROWTH
Marvelous Development of the Most
Promising Section of the Union.
The marvelous development ot
the south during the past thirty
years is aknost beyond compiehei -
sion
Its mining, its industrial,
Its banking, its investments and it»
farming interests have grown by
leaps and bounds. And yet, it
seems that the development has
just begun.
The Baltimore Manufacturer's
Record recently gave out data com
piled from the government's census
reports of 1880 as compared with
those of 1910, which furnishes
some idea of the growing greatness
of this section. Among other in
teresting items we find the follow
ing:
Since 1880 mined 1,657,173.^60
tons of coal, increasing its annual
output from 7,002,254 tons, less
than one-tenth of the country's
production, to 131,970,000 tons, or
nearly one-quarter of the total,
representing a rate of advance oi
1784*7 per cent.
Mined 126,529,524 tons of iron
ore, increasing its annual output
from 702,515 tons to 5.736,000
tons, or at the rate of 715.9 per

petroleum, increasing the flow from
179,000 barrels to 84,800 000 bar
rels.
Increased its annual production
of natural gas from a few million
cubic feet to 200,000,000,000 cubic
feet, nearly 57 per cent of the total
output of the country.
Increased tbe annual value of its
mineral production from $18,226,
000 to $385,700,000, at the rate ot
2016 2 per cent, compared with a
rate of 381.5 per cent in the rest of
tbe country.
Harvested 31,875.816,000 bush
els of corn, wheat and oats, ad
vanced to an annual production of
1,404,200,000 bushels of grain.
Marketed 305,000.000 bales of
cotton, more than doubling the an
nual crop of the staple, involving
the production since 1880 of 120,
ooo.ooo tons of'cottonseed.
Expanded its annual production
of rice from 2,254,000 bushels to
24,000,000 bushels.
Increased up to 1910 its agricul
tural capital (Its investments in
lands, building, implements and
livestock) from $2,762,067,000 to
$10,961,866.000 or by $8,199,789,
000, equal to 296 5 per cent, while
the rest of the country had an in
crease at the rate of 221.4 per cent.
Cut 371,184,000,000 feet of lum
ber, increasing the annual output
from 3,800,000,000 to 20,000,ooo.
ooo feet, or at the rate of 426.3 pet
cent and marking an advance in
the annual vaine of forest products
from $75,215,000 to $652,153,000,
or at the rate of 767 per cent, a
gainst an increase in the rest of the
country at the rate of only 74.4 per
cent.
Made 66,222,888 tons of plg-lrou,
increasing the annual output from
448,978 tons to 3,054,980 tons, or
at the rate of 580.4 per cent.
1 Added 11,172,000 spindles and
237,500 looms to the equipment of
its cotton mills, the annual con
sumption of tbe staple by them in
creasing from 111,770,000 pounds,
or less than 15 per cent of the
country's consumption, to 1,319,
708,000 pounds, or more than half
the country's consumption. .
Practically created the cotton
seed crushing industry, now having
an annual output valued at about
$150,000,000.
Developed its Portland cement
output Into an industry of 11,ooo.
ooo barrels annually.
Multiplied its capital invested in
manufacturing more than ten times,
from $230,000,000 to $3,500, ooo.
ooo, and the vaine of its manufac
tured products mgre than six times,
from $622,840,000 to $3.900,ooo.
ooo, or at the rate of 526 per cent
against an increase in such value
in the rest of the country of 323.4
per cent.
These notable developments
called for the building of 66,064
miles of railroad, an increase at
the rate of 265 6 per cent, com
pared with 92,668 new miicage in
the rest of the country and a rate
Of 135 5 per cent increase,
Lady Card dames,
Waxahachie, Tex., May 10.—
There was consternation among
members of the women's social
club here to-dav when the Ellis
County grand jury, just before its
adjournment declared that where
members of the ladies' organiza
tions played forty-two or othej;
card games for prizes they were

opinion but recommended to the
