Wheeler, Of Mantua; James Arm
strong, Kent Councilman; Clinton
Young, ex-postmaster Of Hiram, are
the delegates chosen to represent
Portage county at the Sandusky con-
vention.
Old line Brice adherents, to whom
the johnson idea Is repugnant In any
form or degree, were not wanting at
the convention, but through the ad-
roitness of Mayor David l.. Rockwell,
Of Kent, who was personally present
to see that none but johnson delegates
were selected, they were out-generaled
from the start and submitted to the
force of necessity.
Mr.. Rockwell Is working hard to
line up the entire 10th district for
Johnson and will be at Sandusky to
look after the interests OF the Cleve-
land ruler of hosts in this territory.
Unlike some others he has not sacrl-
feed political Judgment to personal
vanity, and is therefore doing effective
work for the man who is commencing
the, attention of Hanna and his lieu
tenants. a
This was we'll exemplified at Satur-
days convention, when, as an apparent
spectator, he dictated success at every
turn of the wheel.
AS the time goes on it is more than
ever apparent that Mr.. Rockwell is
not only the choice Of the Portage
Democracy for Probate Judge, but
the preference of hundreds Of other
voters more anxious for good service
than for party name.
A prominent Republican of large
power and influence says. Of him
HE is one Of the .brainiest young mer

1t is as certain as day that he woult

Mississippi. They are scattered all
over the woods, the most of them on
the railroads running through this
section, while others are located as
near to them as they can get lands.
Both north and south ON the North
eastern there are a great many while
there are many on the Mobile, Jack
son and Kansas City road which has
just been constructed to this city.
AT present south Mississippi is the
most prosperous section of the state
and is being more rapidly developed
than any other section. Within the
next few years it will have greater
valuation of property and will pay
into the state treasury the greatest
amount of taxes. This development
Will increase and this wealth will

molasses known in the world. Ac-
companying these farm products will
come tobacco which no other state
can surpass and but few can eqaul.
When the timber is gone there will
not be the least danger of the people
starving. In fact the change from
timber production to farm production
VIII be so gradual that it will
scarcely be observed by those living
at the time and certainly not by those
engaged in the production of timber
now. The man who cannot live in
south Mississippi and make a good liv-
ing and some money cannot do so i'll

A SLICK SCHEME.

Oil has been discovered again near
Enterprise. Whenever news comes
short with the papers they go and dis
cover oil near Enterprise or Laurel
Hattiesburg has never discovered any
trace of oil yet, either in the earth or
on paper, though it smelled a mouse

This shows that Hattiesburg is
slow and poky and that it is not up to
its job. If it could discover oflabout
three times a week it would get lot
of free advertising. The News was
under the impression that Hattiesburg
was better on to its job than this.
There is no excuse for Hattiesburg not
TO discover oil as often as Enterprise
and Laurel. Wake them up, Brother

they have. jackson News
