At a recent meetinngof the Sous

Tom Henry introduced the follow
ing resolution which was adopted
Without a dissenting vote:
“Resoled, That the great and
unselfish press of Mississippi,
which has always been in the front
ranks in all deeds of philanthrophy
and progress, and which has been
constant and unremitting in its
advocacy of every good cause
effecting the Confederate Veteran
and his interests, be reqested to
continue this good work by assist
ing the Sons of Veteraus in raising
the ten thousand dollars necessary
to purchase Beauvoir. To this end
we respectfully request all papers
feeling enough interest in the
sacred cause to opeu a popular sub

purpose ; aud that they publish the

Business Notice.
We desire to say to those that
are due the Journal on subscrip
ion that we would very much ap
preciate au early settlement of
what is due us. Business matters
make it necessary tor us to thus
early remind onr friends who al
ways so readily respoua to such
calls* Some of our subscribers
have let their subscription run
over and we understand the cause.
We desire to say that it will be a
great help for us for them to re
spend as early as possible. Had
. crops lmve made it hard for every
body the past two years and we
have been lenient and nave sent
the paper to you whether we were
paid or not. It has cost us money
to do this and we trust all who are
in arrears will remember the debt
and call around with thdr dues as
soon as possible.

We acknowled receipt of a copy
of the Jackson,(Tenu) Whig, and
notice iliat our quaudon Verona
friend Roland M. Simmons is one
of its proprietors. We are glad
to see that he is so near his old
home and friends and hope he
may meet with full success in his
management of that old and popu
lar paper.
The boy who wants to do things
must not only be around when
things are happening, but
must ,make things happen, and
the only thing that will happen is
thought. The product of thought
is ideas, and the market value of
a good idea is a fortune. Honest
work is worth a salary, but honest
work plugs good ideas is /worth
au interest in the business.—

Henry Watterson is violently
assailing the 400 society families
of New York. He says ;some very
hard thines about them and in his
last attact compares them to the
deuigens of the slums of Gotham.
A11 of which reminds us of the
passage of scripture which says
something about gettiug the beam
out of your own eye before yon
uhideyour neighbor for having
a mote in his. Henry ought to
know the 400 well. That is the
Class that be runs with.
Cheap Lands.
In another part of this issue is
to be fonnd an article from the
“Homestead” a paper printed at
Des Moines, Iowa, on the
subject of Cheap lands in the
South This article iB coidently
intended to call attention to the
opportunities that home seekers
can find through the great south
ern railway, which has large bodies
of land situated in the various
states through which it passes,
for sale. We take pleasure in
printing this article and in ad
ding au additional word upon the
subject
The only cheap lands fit for
farming purposes, now to be found
in the country are to be found in
the South. The great tide of emigra
tion has run its course from east
for many years. It has run upon
isothermal lines, which seems to
come from an instructive disposi
tion of man to continue to dwell
in the same latitude where he
WnS reared. Climatic conditions
n ho Iti nivol ir i ti H n nntin 1 in
- —v— —
rectiug the flow of emigration.
Through this great influx of popu
lation all of the desirable lands ot
the northwest have been taken up
and settled.
The lauds left for entry, or pur
chase at cheap figures, up there
are avid aud practically valuless
for agricultural purposes. There
is now a plan of irrigation being
discussed, by which those lands
may be rendered fit for cultivation
but its practibility is doubted and
its execution is a thing of the dim
distance. The land there is very
dry and porous and it is almost
impossible to wet it sufficiently to
grow crops.- The north west is no
longer inviting to the farmer aud
may be said to have retired from
the field as an active competitor
with the sunny south in the race
for immigrants.
T1 ere has been for the past five
years a steady flow of immigra
tion to the gulf states. This in
flux has not been large but it is
increasing at a steady rate aud
may now be said to be larger than
it has been at any time. It is com
posed chiefly of farmers, under
which term we include those en
gaged in general farming, stock
raising aud horticulture. Out
observation has been that in all
instances where these people have
come with means sufficient to buy
aud pay for homes, they have
succeeded and are satisfied, many
of them have become cotton grow
ers and it is a matter of surprise
to their neighbors how readily
tliev have fallen iuto the mod i
and systems required in its culti
vation. They, as a rule, say thal
cotton is the most profitable crop
that they can grow and they like
to cultivate it: Some of them
have introduced, upon our uplands
the northern mode of flat tilling!
for cotton and are pleased with
their experiments.
All over the Gulf States cheap
lands may yet be found and it
such verity of soil as to suit the
wants of purchasers. There nr<
yet thousands of acres of virgii
soil awaiting the touch of the
plow to tickle it into the rich yield
of the south’s wonderful list ol
fruits, vegetables, fibrous plants
and other products.
The only way to build up i
town is for each and every man te
pull together and not strive te:
rend and tear down. All the resi
dents of a town are partners an 1
not opponents. In all likelihood
the more business doue by vom
rival the more you will do. Ever>
merchant who treats his customers
honestly and fairly will get hi*
share of the trade, and the more
business that can be secured by
united effort the better it will bf
for all. When a town ceases to
grow it commences to die, and
the more people try to kill each
other off in their business and
g,ood mime, the more rapidly will
ruin comejto all. Stand together
for the advancement of every
citizen, and if a man shows ability
to prosper do not pull him down
with cold indifference.—Moore
County Chronicle.
Tilers is a great deal of inter
esting readiug in the St. Louis
Republic at this time. The Cir
cuit Attoruey of that city is un
earthing a stupendous conspiracy
of its board of Aldermen (Assem
bly) to rob the city iu the dispo
sition of franchises. There seems
to have been a general steal going
on and now there is a general
shaking up of character to pay
for k. It seems to be certain that
some of the city fathers will don
the states garb of white and
black stripes and come down far
from their lofty pedstal of official
dignity.
HON. E L RUSSELL
Hon. E. L. Russell, ex president
of the Mobile & Ohio railroad and
at present general counsel of that
company, fought his way up from
the bottom, says the Picayune.
He did not always walk the easy
paths of success, but was onefe
wont to contest every foot of his
upward journey.
Mr. Russell is a native born
Missisoippian. So by the same
token is Robert Perkins, division
freight agent in New Orleans of
the Illinois Central railaoad. Mr.
Perkins if not only a great friend
but a great admirer of Mr. Rus
sell, and he delights in telling of
the early struggles of the promi
nent attorney.
“Did you ever hear Mr. Russell
tell of his first experience before
the supreme court of the
United States?” Mr. Perkins
asked the other day. “I ha^e
listened to the story mauy a time
and while Mr. Russell has recited
it all over the country, I don’t
think it has ever found its way
into print
“Mr. Russell had achieved a
fair success in the practice of
law in his native state, but
he was not overburdened with
the world’s goods when he
lost his first case iu the supreme
tribunal of the country. He rea
lized the importance of the occas
ion—that it was an era in his life
as it were and he prepared him
self accordingly. He literally
bankrupted himself laying in an
onfit which would do him justice
when he faced the foremost jurists
of the land.
“The first thing he bought was
a silk hat. Then he got some tan
gloves and dug up his last dollar
to purchase a Prince Albert suit
of black. On the day for which
the case was fixed he rigged him
self up to kill. He hired a small
boy to take all the law books
around to the court with which- he
had fortified himself, and when he
entered the dignified hall he flat
tered himself that he was making
something of a seusation.
“Carefully remoyiug his silk
hat at the entrance, he walked
gracefully up to the table reserved
tor counsel deposited hie title aud
superintended the distribution
of his books. He wasted no time
with the facts in the case, but be
gan laying dowu the law to the
court. Quotation after quotation
he made, interpreting the law to
suit his clieut’s interest. Finally
the chief justice took a hand.
“What is your name?’ he asked,
i “My name is Russell—E. L.
Russell of Mississippi.. the
, buddiug Blackstoae replied.
“Are you a lawyer?
“This question pretty well took
Mr. Russell of his feet, but he
finally managed to answer that he
; was, to the best, of his knowledge
and belief.
“Are you licensed to practice?
“This was another pretty severe
jolt, but Mr. Russell, with all the
dignity he could muster, gave an
affirmative auswer.
“Well, young man,’ dec’aired
i the court, ‘you seem troubled
about the law. You take care of
1 the facts. This court will attend
, to the law.’
“Mr. Russell admits that it was
the hardest task he had ever under
taken to complete his argumeut,
' but he took the tact suggested
and won hiscase. He has many
a good laugh in telling the story,
and even now, if any one says to
him: “Let us have the facts—
we will take care of the law, he
smiles.”—Meridian Press.

The “Unhorsing” of the Seventh.
On the battlefield of Chicka
mauga last Sunday, we are told in
the news dispatches, President
Roosevelt led the Seventh United
States Cavalry “at a sharp trot”
for a mile and a half, and “the
pace was so hot” that several of
the troopers were unhorsed and
the ambulance corps was called in
to service.
There’s something very perplex
ing in all this. The Seventh Reg
iment is the crack cavalry regi
ment in the United States Army.
Wouldn’t we all laugh and hoot if
we read that a fegiment of the
King’s Household Cavalry of the
British service, or General de Gal
lifet’sold cuirassier regiment in
n »£» r nf l?i»n nno liorl Kaon n n.
able to keep up “a bha p trot”
for a mile and a half over good
ground without losing several
troopers through their being un
horsed? It would seem to funny
to be true.
And that must be the case iu
the present instance. Surely it
must be that the firm seated troop
ers of our own Seventh Cavalry
permitted the:r politeness t > tem
porarily take precedence i ver even
their regimental pride.
They knew that Mr. Roosevelt
holds his reputation as a Rough
Rider as the very apple of his eye.
With the grim humor of “regu
lars” they probably reasoned that
it would tickle the President to
thiuk -lie had ridden Seventh
Cavalry men out of their saddles.
And so, to oblige Mr. Roosevelt,
and, perhaps, to amuse themselves
—they dismounted, one by oue, a
little squad of them, “unhorsed”
by a “sharp trot of a mile aud a
half.” *
Doseu’t this seem the only rea
sonable explanation of the inci
dent—especially when we remem
ber how Uncle Satn’s regulars
love to have fun with a volunteer?

MALARIA AND
YELLOW JACH
(From N. Y. Herald, January 14, 1902.)
“The widow of Dr. Lazeare, who, ii
the employ of the Goverumeut, wen
to Cuba, was inoculated with Yellov
Fever through mosquito bites, and died
applied to Congress for relief to-day.”
The above tells of the sad culmina
tion of a series of experiments by tin
Government, all of which proved con
clusively that the familiar mosquito i
a dangerous vehicle for carrying Ma
laria, “Yellow Jack,” and other malar
ial fevers.
Those who are exposed to mosquitos
or other malarial influences should tak<
warning. Iron is the fighting element
in the blood and provides nature will
sufficient resistance to ward off disease
But if the blood is impure or impov
erished, or if there is weakness, it
means that the fighting qualities of tin
blood have been lowered, and conse
quently there is danger. If you would
escape, keep the blood pure and prop
erly nourished with
Dr. Harter's
Iron Tonic
It supplies the blood with iron in a
natural way. It is recognized every
where as the best blood purifier and
tonic in use, and it has been used for
half a century.
Houston, Tex., Aug. 1,1901.
‘.‘I have used Dr. Harter's
Iron Tonic myself and in my
family for over twenty-five years, and
can heartily recommend it. I regard it
as particularly valuable to ward ofl ma
larial and other fevers.
