DOES KINDS COUNTY WANI
THE EARTH!

but wants to be fair. 1t does look
now, ho~ever, as though Hines
county. under the Democratic Ad
mip,stfation to take charge OF the
Government on the 4th OF MarcD,
wants the earth-and, that too,
with a barbed wire fence around
it, 1t has, so far as heard from,
candidates for United States Mars
shall, United States District Attor,
ney, UDired States Register OF
Lands, United States Receiver OF
Public Moneys, Ministers to Greece
and Mexico.
The Herald would not mention
this now if it we're not for the fact
we learn the first four mentioned
candidates have assurances OF sues
cess. 1t is !audable in the gentle
men to be candidates, but Is not
Democratic to give all the offices
to one county when there are so
many deserving candidates from
other counties-Yazoo, Holmes,
Madison, Lauderdale, Hancock,
Warren ard others, tor instance,
have candidates whose claims upon
the party entitle them to share.
These candidates have done COCA
work for the party and it would be
unjust tosav to them that they Will
get no hing and Kinds everything.
Gentlemen of Kinds, don't be
greedy; gentlemen of the appoint
ing power, don't give the earth to
one county and then put a barbed
wire fence around It. 10 election
times don't forget that ona county
don't do all the voting. Give US a
fai1 deal all around.-Yazoo City
Herald.
The Herald speaks plainly and
to the point. The important offices
referred to, and many others, mast
be filed by the incoming admins
tratioD, and a judicious distribution
of these official favors Is confident
ly looked for. Jackson was the
scene of our boybood and school
day life, and fo- many years Vicka-
burg was our home. Well can we
recall the amused smiles that would
illuminate the countenances OF a
gathering when the name Of can
didate for some important position
was mentioned, who hailed from
the cow counties. Of course we
Joined in the smile, which was e1-
cusab,e at the time on the score of
ignorance-if ignorance can be
excused. Blu. for the last ten or
elnvnn years we have lived IN that
much misunderstood section Of
country-the fast becoming garden
spot of TIE great state Of Missls'
sippi. During the course of these
years we have resided in five OF he
so-called cow counties, and of the
seven newspapers that we have
conducted, nothing has ever inter
fered with their prompt weekly ap-
pearance, nor have we in that time
ever had occasion to receive or be-
stow one harsh word. We know
this section, love it, and shall work
for 1t until justice t'lumphs. And,
furthermore, such noble statesmen
as Sepators George and Walthall,
and Representatives Stockdale,
Allen and others, have taken occa-
sion to come, see and be convinced
that Southeast Mississippi is a
gOodly land, and that it can afford
as dignifed, refined, Intellectual
and efficient official timber as can
the grand old counties Of Warren,
Adams. Kinds, Yazoo, Lauderdale
Holmes, ct al.
The United States Marshal and
the United STATES District Attorney
tor the Southern District, should
be from the piny wood-men who
know and appreciate the section
and people. At the last census,
Jones, for progresslveness, ETC.,
was the banner county; and this,
Pearl River, is the youngest fledge-
ling of the state. We claim that
these two counties deserve recog-
milton and encouragement.
One of natures noblemen, Mai,
S. II. Mimms, of Jones, is a candi-
date for United States Marshal,
and more fitting appointment
could not be made. Pearl River
coanty should have the United
States Timber Inspectorship. 1t
