There are two good ways to judge a
man—by what he doesn't pay and by
what he doesn't say.
It is better to build “castles in
Spain” for yourself than to dig pits
for your neighbors near home.
The farmer who keeps his smoke
house in Chicago can never be inde- \
pendent, no matter how many unions
he is a member of.
The cotton brought into jsiglit for
the past season from September 1 to
April 25, aggregates 10.371.2157 bales,
as against 12,615,818 bales to a corres
ponding date one year ago.
There is no reason why the man who
has a decent business, who pursues it
decently and honestly, and lives up
rightly on the returns that it brings, j
should not l>c* happy and contented. '
If the famers of the south will raise
plenty of food supplies the price of
cotton will tal^e care of itself.—Mon
roe County Citizen.
The truest learning is that which
teaches to us know and respect our fel
low man better and makes life more
pleasant not only for us but for others
as well.
The man who wilts Indore adversity
is not made of the stuff that moves the
world. It ijj, the man who succeeds in
spile of adversity that makes tiling
go.—Paragould Soliphone.
Scientests have recently declared
that man ought to live tone a hundred
years old. But there are some i>eople
who get so little real pleasure out of
life that they would swivel up and turn
to a lemon long l>efore they reach the
hundred mark.
Of course its nobody’s business if
Mine. Anna Gould wants to take the
risk of another matrimonial alliance
with the French “nobility,” says an
exchange. But the things that are
nobody’s business are often the things
that people talk about the most.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
never loses an opportunity to editor
ially denounce the preacher in politics,
and just a few days ago it roundly de
nounced the doctor in politics. But
we have never noticed the Commercial
Appeal denouncing the saloon man in
politics. __________ r
The New York legislature recently
passed the most drastic anti-bucket
shop law of any state in the union.
The law makes all transactions in
futures felonies, and penalizes not
only the person or firm which main
tains such an establishment, but the
patron who may happen to be caught
in the place.
Senator Davis delivered another
“great” speech ill the United States
senate Friday, and reports from
Washington say that when he con
cluded there were, by actual eoOnt.
five senators and one newspaper man
present. Let the senate beware. Jeff
will camp on somebody's trail if they
are not careful.
The newspapers and prominent pub
lic men are roundly denouncing the
recent “Social Equality Dinner” given
by t^he Cosmopolitan Club in Brook
lyn, at which twenty so-called respec
table white girls and women sat at
dinner with negro men. Champ Clark,
the noted Missourian, declares that it
was “the most disgraceful occurrence
in the history of our country since the
landing of Capt. John Smith,” and
other prominent public men, both
North and South, are equally as bitter
in their denunciation of the affair.
The Journal has no comment to offer.
It is very plain to us that the dinner
was given by a lot of idiotic bi]<eis
whom New York’s already over-work
ed fool killer has been unable to fret
to, on account of the great need of his
services in the higher social circles.
So why waste time and energy de
nouncing a lot of idiots?
We are often told that “prohibition
doesn’t prohibit.’’ In fact this is us
ually the first and main argument put
I forth by the man who opposes prohibi
! tion. Yet we see the national assoeia
| tion of brewers and distillers spending
thousands of dollars to defeat prohi
bition. If prohibition is such a rank
failure, why do the liquor men all over
the country spend their money so
lavishly attempting to defeat it? If
there is as much liquor drank under
prohibition as there is when we have
open saloops, why do the liquor men
oppose prohibition? That is an
enigma The Journal has never been
able to solve.
SCHOOL TAX SITUATION
Our Public Schools and Their Relation
to Northern Immigration
That taxis are high enough no one
will dispute; but few people who have
children to educate are going to vote
less than the full 7 mills in the coming
May school meeting. The rapid de
velopment of the country demands a
better educated citizenship. Unless
the present generation have letter
school advantages in the South, they
must take suited in ate places in the
future as Northern and Eastern immi
gration is coming rapidy to this sec
tion. Never before in the history of
the nation has the South attracted so
much attention. Our delightful cli
mate, our fertile and cheap lands, our
unbounded possibilities in varriegated
crops, our unlimited natural resources
are attracting the attention of the most
highly educated and cultured classes
of the North and East. When the
country is filled with these who have
the superior advantages in school sys
| terns, our children must suffer by the
j process.
Not that we would discourage this
class of immigrants coming, for we
need them to help develop our possibi
lities, but we say this to emphasize
the importance of more money, a long
er school term, better teachers, better
school houses and better school equip
ment. The South is far behind Jhe
North and East in these matters and
nothing but a well tilled school treas
ury, will ever suffice. We must not
lower our taxes at the expense of our
children, nor at a loss to our school
interests.---El Dorado Times.

COOPER MET USUAL
SUCCESS IN PITTSBURG
__ \
Received Thanks from Hundreds While in
the Smoky City.
The following article, taken from
the Pittsburg Press, describes the re
sults of L, T. Cooper’s visit to that
city, and the effect of his new prepara
tion as told by people who had become
convinced of the soundness of Cooper’s
theories with regard to the human
stomach.
Cooner believes that the human
stomach in civilized races has become
greatly weakened. He claims that most
ill health of the present generation is
due to this fact The article is as fol
lows:
“L. T. Cooper is meeting with the
6ame astonishing success in Pittsburg
as in other cities. For the past few
days many thousands of Pittsburg peo
ple have called at his headquarters to
talk with him.
“Cooper’'' prophecy, made upon his
arrival, to the effect that before he left
Pittsburg thousands would realize that;
hJs theory is correct and would come
and th"nk him for what his medicine
had done, is rapidly being borne out.
“On Monday an astonishing number
of people called to express their grati
tude to Mr. Cooper. Judging from
what some of these people had to say
to a Press reporter, when interviewed,
Cooper’s claim that the human stom
ach is degenerate is distinctly verified.
“One of the most unusual statements
was made by Mr. O. W. Woods, of 103
South Highland Street. He said: ‘For
four years my wife was in very poor
health. She was weak and thin, with
a hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and I was
inclined to believe them. It certainly:
looked as though her days were num
bered, and there appeared to be very
little ground for hope.
‘“Shortly after Mr. Cooper came ta
Pittsburg I began to hear of wonderful
results that had been obtained by per
sons who had tried his medicine, so I
got some for toy wife. She had takes
it only two days when she was relieved
of a tapeworm 42 feet long. She be
gan to improve immediately—has gain
ed seven pounds since she began tak
ing the medicine. She feels splendid
and looks very .much better. If any
one doubts this statement I would b®
pleased to have them call at my houss
and verify it. ’ “
The Cooper remedies are be-'
coming Justly famous, we sell them,1
