THE .CoW CouNrIEs. !.

Tupelo Journal: That part of our
state that is known as the "cow
counties is fast coming to the front.
No part of the United States is grow
ing faster. Population is flocking in,
towns are being built In short order,
industrial enterprises are being es-
tablished, capital is being employed,
railroads are being built, lands are
being cleared and a strong boom is
raging. 1t is being demonstrated
that the lands of that section are
finely adapted to fruits and vegeta-
bles and horticulture is receiving
much attention. Hundreds of acres
are being put IN peaches and other
fruits, and this industry is fast be-
coming a popular and profitable bust
ness. The great business of the
section is the trade in lumber
There are hundreds OF saw mills
in operation already, but many
more are being put in. The great
output of these find avenues of transii
by both ship and rail, and fine mar
kets in all parts Of the world. It is 3
great country, full of possibilities
and opportunities, AND will become
in time one of the finest regions o.
the continent.

rants for political honors and able
men in public life."

South Mississippi is getting more
free advertising to the square inch
than any other section of the south,
and it deserves every inch. It is
making more rapid and permanent
progress than any other section in an
industrial way and is filling up more
rapidly with thrifty population.
Every day people are moving to this
section from the northern and west
ern states and the longer they re-
main the better they are satisfied
with the section. One reason for this
is there is always plenty of money
here. There is no such thing as a
man being unable TO secure job at
fair wages. The fact is contractors
are begging for laborers and are pay
ing high prices for them. This is the
best poor mans section of country in
the south, and the poor man at dis
lance is finding this to be true.

REMARKABLE BALL GAME
Played by Negroes - Remarkable
Because of No Deaths.

Liberty, Aug ia remarkable ball
game between negro teams occurred in
this county day or 30 since. Accord
Ing to the local paper the contest, while
quite spirited, progressed through nine
innings without any fsssing whatever.
and the services of the coroner were
not necessary to look after the remains
of the umpire. 1t invariably happens
that somebody gets hurt in = negro base
ball game in this state, and deaths are
s. frequent that in the delts only white
men are allowed to umpire the game

Hon. e. F. Noel of Lexington is
not afraid, but still he feels little
easier if he is standing on a chair
while a mouse is playing on the floor.
The Lexington Progress says he will
not make an active canvass for gov
ernor this year, but just puts out a
little notice to the effect that if his
services are needed as speaker he
is ready and willing to serve the peo-
pie as well as himself in any part of
the state. This all comes around
incidentally, you know, but Mr.. Noel
VIII not fail to discuss state issues
which pertain directly to his canvass
which will be made next year. And
Mr.. Vardaman is travelling along the
same line. Yesterday he was at
Tupelo, by accident on purpose, and
did not fail to respond when called
upon to speak. OF course he was not
there for that purpose, but he was
there all the same and will be else !.
where IN a few days talking to q
large crowd. and so will Mr.. Noel,
notwithstanding they contend that
the campaign has not opened. The
truth is not only are these two candi-
dates ont for the Office already, but
others are out too, making a still
hunt for votes, and all of them know
lit and there Is no use Of denying the
fact.

OUR HOME CANDIDATE.

City and county pride should cause
everybody to stand by worthy
home man.
No man should vote against a
fellow-townsman who is worthy and
competent.
Home pride and desire to stand
by worthy home people causes every
body to admire such a city and such a
people.
Petty preiudices should be put
aside and patriotism should hold
sway.
Captain Hardy is one of Hatties-
burg's truest and best citizens. He
has been her friend in every worthy
undertaking. He has been the
spokesman for the city, the leader in
all enterprises that would promote
her welfare.
This is the man the citizens of
Hattiesburg and Perry county should
support.
HIS private and political life is
without reproach, he is practically
the father of the pineywoods country
for it was his master mind that con-
ceived and promoted the railroads
that have built up the country. The
people owe him debt o. gratitude
and should rejoice at the opportunity
OF even partially repaying it. He is
one Of the brainiest men in the south
"a statesmen, a scholar and an ora
tor. He is as vigorous and active as
either OF his opponents and would at
once command attention and respect
ia the house of representatives.
Vote for w. Fl. Hardy. the man
who has fought the battles of the
people il times of war and in times
of peace.
