Fred Sullens, the usually congenial and companionable cuss who cuts copy for the Jackson News, has lost his tem per, and all because a Crystal Springs man wrote him a postal card which read like this: "Monday afternoon everyone was waiting for the Daily News to ascer tain the result of the election in the Seventh District, but to their disgust not a line appeared. Evidently Farm er Dickson must, have been resting in peace, is the Daily News a metropol itan paper?" Imagine, if you can, how an editor feels when his pride is wounded— when he has the consciousness of having made a good newspaper, and when it seems that nobody appreci ates his efforts. We've been there, and we know. For this reason, and for others, we can appreciate the sentiment con tained in these chaste charges from Sullens' pen: "Why, you lop-eared, long-legged loonie, you pale piece of punk cheese, why in thunderation don't you wake up and get in the game? "Why in the name of all that's holy did you wait for Monday's paper to the returns of r.n curred on Saturday, when have read the r ul! paper?' g' lection that oc you could returns in Sunday's Cut-Over Pine Lands. Discussing the development of South Jin. sissippi in general and the devel opment of cut-over pine lands in par ticular, the Meridian says: Evening Star "When, some years ago. the thought less were discussing the South Missis sippi boom, and predicting the deso lation that would follow, the exhaus tion of the timber wealth of that part of the state, we insisted that a great resource would remain in the agri cultural development that would fol low the removal of the timber, and that expectation is today being abun dantly realized. The cut-over lands are being annually given, in larger area, to the plow, and are prov ing highly productive where properly er pine fewllized and cultivated; the truck growing industry has developed con siderable proportions in the neighbor hood of the towns and the cotton acre age has been largely expanded. "South Mississippi owes much to its great wealth of pine forest; but that estate will sooner or later be exhaust ed and it is a grateful thing to know that the foundation of a greater and nobler estate is now being land upon the ruins of the old, and a new contri bution will be made to Mississippi's permanent and perennial agricultural wealth." Uttermeyer Explains Reason For His Faith. Samuel H. Untermeyer, the noted corporation lawyer of New York, says that he is going to vote for Bryan for President—and the reasons which he | j gives for his faith in the Nebraskan and the cause of Democracy are well j widespread publicity which | worth the they are receiving in the columns of j the Democratic press. "I am a corporation lawyer," says j Mr. Untermeyer, ''but above all I am j a citizen. As a corporation lawyer I I ! know something of the abuses of cor porate management and the necessity for far greater control than now ex ists. On the two great issues of tariff reform and more effective corporation control now before the people, it seems absurd to expect the people will get. as fair treatment, or that it will be as easy to inaugurate the drastic reforms that are needed, under the guidance of the Republican party, which is dom inated by the interests that are to be affected, as under the Democratic par ity, which has no such affiliations, "Amind the deafening clamor of the tooting of horns and the shrieking of whistles about the punishment of wealthy offenders against very little has been done, and only a | - . , i few of the least pernicious abuses i have been abated.

Where are the law-defying corporations in this fight? Has any j body any doubt?" Cotton mill men of the North and east are giving a great deal of theiir time to investigation of the water power and labor conditions of the South with a view of moving their factories down this way. There is j plenty of water power in the Hat-1 tiesburg territory, but there is very lit tie idle labor. Belter bring the la- j borers along with you. Brookhaven merchants recently vis-1 ited a number of the small cities I along the line tral Railroad trade from Hattiesburg. A good plan to get even with them would be for Hattiesburg merchants to make a sim ilar trip, as they planned to do sev eral months ago. j of the Mississippi Cen | •ith a view of diverting South Mississippi farm I He is a wise man who invests his surplus in lands. This is going to be the garden spot of the world long after the last pine tree has fallen and the lumb'er in dustry and the wealth which it pro duced is remembered only by the old est inhabitant. Close presidential elections are gen erally decided in . October—often in the last half of the month. But if the promise of September, William Jen 0c,ober . tbia y e »r makes good nings Bryan is going to the White House. Small farms and diversified indus tries are what we need to make South Mississippi prosperous. One money crop is not safe for any community, as Hattiesburgans have learned since the slump in the lumber business. Negroes at Lexington, Kentucky, are preparing to build a doll factory. There is nothing startling about this announcement on its facd, but some in terest devolves in the fact that the dolls are to be of a new sort. They are to be negro dolls—just as near like real, sure-enough negro babies as it is possible to make them. This will prob ably put an end to the Teddy-Bear and poodle-dog craze at the North. No re spectable daughter of a Northern ne grophilist would care to be lugging a pet poodle or a fuzzy Teddy bear when a negro doll-baby can be had at the nearest toy store.

Cosey, the multimillionaire steel magnate who gained notoriety by marrying Mabelle Gilman, the act ress. , In the first place, John W. Kern is an old foggy. He has such old-fash-j ioned notions that he despises a man who would divorce his wife and the mother of his childr in in order to grat ify an insane passion for an actress. John W. Kern is one of those back numbers who places honor above dol He would not sell his soul for j gold even though the devil offered him a, l the yellow metal there is in bowels of the earth. I j jars. He has remained a comparatively poor man all his life i rather than enter a combine to rob the' i U l '°l |le and drive competitors out [business. ! He never, so far as we have jbeen able to lean, either founded a | Public library or endowed a college. I Having lived an upright, wholesome,; | God-fearing life all his days, he has never felt the necessity of apologizing to his maker or offering penance in the form of lucre for his sins." William E. Corey is about as sharp a contrast to John W. Kern as could be found within the possible exception of James S. Sherman, the other candi date for vice-president.

CARD OF THANKS. Editor The News:— I wish through the columns of your paper to extend the sincere thanks of myself and family to the people of j Hattiesburg who were so kind and considerate during the illness of my i son, H. C. Scovill, and to Dr. Craw- J ford and the nurses and attendants of the South Mississippi Infirmary for their attention and kindness, deeply appreciate the many acts of kindness and the sympathy given us ; We i James S. Sherman becoming president 4 be United States without shudder ing, whereas if John W. Kern should be called upon to step into the highest office he would grace it. "Who is John W. Kern?" asks the faithless nabob who cast off his faith ful wife, the woman who had bravely shared his days of poverty and had struggled with him to build up his fortunes, as a man throws good out of it. Such impertinence de serves no answer, were it not for the sake of calling attention to the brazen effrontery of men of Corey's stamp the,who had, through the medium of away a lemon after he has squeezed all the pro Jtected monopoly, grown to be the greatest menace that confronts this nation today. Anarchy can be Stamp out by force, but the insidious evil 'imposed upon this long suffering peo pie by men which President Roose !velt designates very forcibly as 'mal efactors of great wealth ' is even more to be dreaded than anarchy, "Who is John W. Kern?" Why a plain, honest American citizen of the highest type, an unpretentious, clean living man, yet of scholarly attain- | ments and commanding intellect. Had that purse-proud Pittsburg millionaire read John W. Kern's masterly reply to the apology of James S. Sherman, he would have no need to ask, "Who Is John W. Kern?" in our trouble and take this method of returning sincere thanks to all. Respectfully, J. M, Scovill and Family. BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN'S POLICY READ! THINK! ACT!

The present day bank came into existence in 1649, when the present Bank of England was established in London. Primitive banking was simple, the advantages given the people were few. Banking today is also simple but the people receive many benefits not dreamed of in its early history. Banks are organized by several rien putting their money together in the shape of bank stock and opening a place for business. These men not only put their money into business, they also include their standing. Thus the bank is stronger than any one of them; as strong as all of them together. Every bank is a benefit to the community. It facilitates business, gives the people a place to keep their active and surplus funds, and each dollar in the community does more work because the bank exists. • This bank is a material advantage to the public—to each man and « woman in particular. We seek the opportunity to demonstrate the bene fit of our service to YOU. . Yours very truly, /. C. BALLARD, Cashier. AMUSEMENTS. Attractions Tonight.
