pTTHE first question asked by
any man looking at a new
section of country, or a
section with which he is
little 'acquainted, but inclined to
investigate, is will his money, if he
should invest it, be buried: or, will
it come back to him with interest
at any time he may desire to dis
pose of that which he possesses
himself. In other words, one who
is persuaded that he wishes to
locate in any particular locality,
likes to know that if from any
cause he should become dissatis
fied and desire, to dispose of his
property there and go elsewhere,
would he be compelled to offer his
holdings at a sacrifice in order to
getaway. '
This is net a selfish position' to
assume, but rather a sensible one.
Any one is likely to find some
reason for.desiring a change even
from" a section where he feels
everything is most enticing. The
question then is, can he make a
change without loss, if such a de
sire should happen to seize him?
Today new men are locating all
over the South. -Some of them
will not remain, for various causes.
Some' will not like the South be
cause it "is different from the
section from whence they come.
Others may find that the climate
does not agrees Iwith them in point
of health and desire to change,and
still others may not be able to wean
themselves away from , former
invironments and adapt themselves
to the new surroundings. Hence
Eight Place for Strennousness.
President Roosevelt is reported
to be very indignant because the
Chinese Exclusion Act is being
vigorously enforced, says the New
York American.

to complain of vigor, because he is
the national exponent of the stren-
.nous life.
h Also, President Roosevelt has

forcemeat, of all laws regardless of
the feelings and interests of indi
viduals. There is no Iaw on the statute
books of the United tates more
Important to the wellbeing of the
citizens of this conchy than the
Chinese Exclusion Act.
Despite the great vigilance of
the officials, the law is constantly
being eluded and broken even to
day. It has been found almost impos
sible to protect the two thousand
miles on the Pacific Coast frontier
against the invasion1 of Chinese,
j Trho employ every device known
, to human ingenuity to pass the
' Hues.
Before President Roosevelt gets
.r.Jignact about the vigorous en
forcement of the Chinese Exclu
sion Act, he might better consult
with the Federal judges andoffi
Jala of Pacific Coast ports.,
Juflga Morrow, of San Francis
co, for " instance,' could tell him
that perjury, forgery of firtiS
stes, forgery of photographs and
Vernation of purgery are nni
. cr?:il in Chinese cases.

PRICES ARE LOW
this question of the safety of an
investment for any one who desires
to make the experiment, comes
forward,1 and it is of that that a
word may not be amiss.
There can be no question but
that any rational investment made
in lands in any part of the South at
present prices will bring the most
unexpected returns in the near
future. As a matter of investment
alone there is not a place in .the
United, States today whera a man
can make a safer or more certain
deposit of his money and rely upon
ample returns, than in or near any
well organized community in Miss
issippi. 1
Lands in this state that are pro
ducing as much per acre .as those
of any other section in the nation,
are selling in Mississippi at from
$15 to 30 per acre, which if they
were located in Illinois, Ohio, In
diana, Missouri, Kansas", Nebraska,
Iowa, and other states, with equal
surroundings, could not be bought
for less than $75 to SlOO per
acre. Thus it will be readily seen
that there is practically no chance
for those who are coming to us and
investing in our soil, taking a single
chance of loss.
The South is developing very
rapidly, the towns are growing, the
farm lands ' are being opened out
more and more every year, the
seasons are certain and good, and
before another decade the whole
country south of the Mason and
Dixon's line will be fairly jumping
under the magic hand of improve-1
And the well-wishers of Presi
dent Roosevelt should advise him
to be just about as strenuous in
the enforcement of that Act as he
knows how to be.
Sued by Ills Doctor.
"A doctor here has sued me for $12.
50, which I claimed was excessive for
case of cholera morbus," says R.
White, of Cochella, Cal. "At. the
trial be praised hla medical skill and
medicine. I asked him if it was not
Chamberlain's Collo, Cholera and
Diarrhoea .Remedy he nsed as I had
good reiwon to believe it was, and he
would not say under oath that it was
not." No doctor could use a better re
medy than this in a case of cholera
morbnn, it never fails. Sold by Beard
en & King druggists.
Of course the women will rule the
country ome time. If Justice Brewer
will look about him a little more care
fully he will discover that they are do

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor

become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon

urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches' an args when it should be able to
control the passage, it Is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and ncto a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same ereit remedy.

be as high as it is elsewhere, not
yet reach its . real value, so that
those who are coming now, invest
ing wisely and casting their for
tunes with those who are here,
must be rewarded most abundant
ly. , Naturally, the stranger to this
section will ask in what way the
South is capable of being so
productive, and yet the land sell
so cheap.
It is quiet unneccessary to dis
cuss the question of the cheapness
of the lands. The fact exists, and
the causes are apparent to all who
will recall that much of this land
has been lying idle for forty years,
because of a recovering process un
der which the section was compell
ed to pass. But it is coming back
now, and time will not be long be
fore it will sell for much higher
figures than that of any other por
tion of the United States, because
it is really worth more.
The South is especially desirable
as an agricultural ,section because
its soil is just as rich and under the
climate conditions, it is 'capable of
yielding a far greater and more
valuable variety of products.
Everything that can be raised
in any section of the nation, from
the smallest grain, to the grandest
fruit, with the same care and atten
tion will be equally produced in
Mississippi or almost any other part
of the, South. Then it has its great
adaptibility for the raising of cot

ton, one of the world's greatest
staples, which makes every acre of
its land doubly valuable.
The transformation wrought dur
ing the past half a dozen years in
those sections of the South where
the people are awake and alive to
the possibilities of the near future,
are most wonderful. The spirit of
industrial advancement has taken
hold in a manner which means that
the South is determined to cease
paying homage to anyother section
of their own country or to any
other people, but propose to have
their own factories, manufacture
their own raw materials and save
to their ' own section the great
wealth which has in the past gone
to other sections.
Towns which were merely country
trading points with a postoffice in a
goods box, at which place the
neighbors would assemble once a
week to hear from mouth to ear
the news of the world, have been
transformed into busy commercial
centers, with the cotton factory as
the basis, and'all manner of other
industries running most success
fully. The railroads find them
selves swamped for facilities to
handle the outputs and-incoming
things demanded by these com
munities. The result is that cities
are being builded where there was
never a thought of such a growth
beforehand everywhere the spirit
of progress and development is
manifested.
Wise is he who recognized such
conditions and acts thereon.
