k
Starkville has long felt the
need of au active and wide
awake business men’s league or
association. Such an organiza
tion has been recently effected
and the roll of its membership
as given below -is a guarantee
that the importance and inter
ests of Starkville as a trade
center will he properly looked
after.
The Starkville Merchants’ As
sociation is a branch of a state
wide organization embracing
similar associations in many
other towns and cities.
Its leading purposes are to co
operate for the mutual benefit of
all, to abate trade abuses, to
protect its members and their
customers f#om fake jobbers and
wholesalers of dishonest goods;
to disseminate useful informa
tion, to prevent excessive freight
rates and to facilitate the collec
tion of claims for loss or damage
in shipment; to assist its mem
bers in collecting delinquent ac
counts, to protect them against
non-paying and fraudulent cus
tomers.
Its aims and purposes are hon
orable and commendable, and all
business interests should unite
with this organization in its ef
forts to make Starkville the
trade center it should be.
Its membership, as it now
stands, is given below:

Mississippi Seaports.
♦
Referring to our comments in
regard to Gulfport, the Newton
Record says:
“With the opening of the Pan
ama Canal the commerce of the
world will find ingress and egress
through the State of Mississippi,
and it is gratifying to all Missis
sippians that the state Jias a port
within her borders that is second
to none.”
Yes, and we will have many
seaports on our south front when
the opening of the Canal corns pel
congressional action in the mat
ter of appreciation. Gulfport
was a creation of the Gulf and
Ship Island Rail Road, and there
will be many other city building
rail road going down to the sea,
ere that day dawns, to make all
our beautiful coast towns impor
tant entrepots and harbors; and
when next a rail road seeks salt
water it will not be forced to
either buy a town or build one
of its own. —Aberdeen Examiner.
The State farmers’ Union
Ware House is to be built at
Gulfport, so decided at their late
convention held at Jackson.
Shifting the Blame.
It seems to be human nature to
shift the responsibility or blame
on someone else. If w© make a
mistake or do a little wrong how
ready we are to try to make some
one else responsible for the error.
This shifting of responsibility
began with the first that
lived on earth. When Eve took
the forbidden fruit she laid the
blame on the Serpent and when
Adam was called to give an ac
count he laid the blame on Eve.
Mother Eve seemes to have plac
ed the blame on the proper one
(the serpent) as he is present
when responsibilities are trying
to be shifted on others,
Press.
The brother understands bow
it is.
About 12 o’clock Wednesday
night a small framed building of
2 rooms the property of Gen.
Nash was consumed by fire. It
was within the fire district and
but a brick building can lie re

no insurance and friends sympe
thize with the Genl. in his loss.

lor and Wm. Kemp were here

Right and justice prevailed in
Tennessee. Governor Patterson’s
veto over ridden the state wide
prohibition is passed by the law
makers at Nashville,
May God grant the early fol
lowing of the great common
wealths of Arkansaw, Louisania
and Texas. Whiskey is the ori
gin of ninety per cent of crime.
WhisKey the greatest enemy of
the human family is being exter
minated by due process of law;
no mob violence nor bribery.
We as a nation owe so much
to the good women of the land
and particularly that organiza
tion, the W. C. T. U..
have worked in season and out
of season and God has crowned
them triurapant thus far. All
right thinking good citizens are
for temperance, state wide
and national prohibition is the
way to secure it. * *

801 l Weevil.
Maj. George Smith is good
authority and many coincide
him. He says that the
boll wefevil is of no disadvant
age, but to the contrary of great
advantage to the cotton growers,
for more numerous the weevils
greater the quantity of cotton
made.
He is an old cotton grower and
says that the weevills only at
tack the small bolls and makes
the others grow larger and more
prolific. . He says that that
state’s acts demonstrates the
proposition.
Who can refute the assertion?
Whereas, one half of the cot
ton lands can now be utilized in
planting corn and difersitication.
The matter is worth thinking
about right at this time.

the personal newspaper contro
versy between the Governor and
State Treasurer, and particularly
the harsh and unseemly language
applied by the Treasurer to the
Executive.-Aberdeen Examiner.
