GOV. LONGING, REFEREE
WILSON, AND AN ELEC-
TION COMMISSIONER.

"Gov. Longino and Republican
referee Wilson apparently are no
losing sight of the main chance
in state as we'll as IN National pol
tics, nevertheless and notwith-
standing the agitation of the cot
ton insurance question. We are
moved to this observation by read
ing the leading editorial in the
Woodville Republican of last Sat
urday. That excellent Democrat
ic paper complains that the Re-
publican member of the Board of
Election Commissioners of Will
kinson county Ga white MANI has
been removed to make room for
a negro who has been put in his
place. The Republican charges
the Governor and the Referee
with responsibility for this piece
of political work. 1t also init
mates that the appointment was
made in Roosevelt's interest.
When a poll of the Mississippi
county election commissioners is
made, it will most probably show
that all of the Democratic COM
mlssioners are Longino men, and
all of the Republican commission
ers are Roosevelt Cor Referee Will
SOM men,"
The above extract from an able
editorial taken from the Vicks-
burg Post, carries with 1t an en-
dorsement of our views as express
ed in last weeks issue, anent the
action of GOV. Longino, in his APP
pointment Of Election Commits
sioners for this county. But we
take issue with the Post, as to
the last paragraph in the above,
so far as 1t applies to this county.
While we concur in the opinion of
the Post as to the motives of his
ExcellencY, we wish it distinctly
understood there are no "Longi-
no men" IN this county to put on
the Board, and one of the demo-
cratic appointees has given us his
opinion of the Governor, which
was by no means complimentary.
As to the Roosevelt men, we
see the Governor was forced to
resort to the appointment of a ne
gro, but he did his best, and of
course Teddy and the Referee
must give him credit for this.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.

The establishment of an oil mill
in this town has been closely fol-
lowed by a new venture that is
destined to find favor with our
people when it is once given a
successful trial. Messrs. w, B,
WIshers, Morris H. Rothschild
and Henry johnson are now buy
ing drove of young cattle which
they propose to fatten on hulls
and cotton seed meal, during the
winter, and ship them to the city
markets. This venture was en-
tered into as an example for 9th
ers to follow, and there is no rea-
son why many of our farmers
could not make this a paying bu-
slness in future. With the excel
lent winter pastures in parts of
our county, the cattle could be
be fattened easily with a little
bulls and meal, and they would
command fancy prices in any mar
ket. We trust some of our far
mers will see 1t to their interest
to take up this matter and give it
trial.

The Governors dilatory tactics in re-
gard to calling the legislature in specs
ial session for the purpose of repeal
ing the valued policy law as applied to
cotton insurance are rather puzzling
He stated that if a majority Of the
members favored the special session
he would call it. Acting upon this
promise, letters were sent to each OF
the members requesting an expression
of opinion. 1t is admitted that a
large majority of the replies were ia
vorable to the proposition, yet the
governor delays action. 1t is intima.
ted that the governor fears the result
of a special session. The treasury
scandal is still fresh in the minds OF
the people, and some eyil>mlnded leg
islator might propose something like

Every newspaper treasures up in its
memory the names of its friends and
likewise its enemies. 1t seldom If ever
oyerlooks an opportunity to assist the
former, but never goes out of its:way
to boost the latter. Human nature is
pretty much the same everywhere.
People who show the newspaper man
kindness never make a better invest
ment, or one that more surely pays
them a hundred fold sooner or later.
AS has been truly said, there comes a
time in the life of every man when a
word said by newspaper either makes
or unmakes the individual mention

The following items from the
Manufacturers Record of recent date
will be ofinterest to our readers,
especially if the roads mentioned
below can be induced to continue
their lines through to Woodville. Il
The I. c. has been talking of ex-
tegding its line from here to Nat
chez, but it has ended in talk, and
it would be a good idea for some of
our leading citizens, who are inter
ested, to take up this matter with
the promoters of the new roads:
Minden, LATHE Louisiana and
Arkansas Railroad, now reported to
be controlled by the St. Louis and
San Francisco, will, it is said, be
extended from Stamps, Ark, to
connect with the Frisco, and it is
further stated that the Quigley Con-
struction Co. will complete the gap
between Winfield, La, and Match
ez, Miss, from which point, it is
reported, the road will go to New
Orleans. William Buchanan is gen
eral manager of the Louisiana and
Arkansas Railroad at Texarkana,
Ark. B. L. Winchell is general
manager ofthe Frisco at St. Louis.
Winfield, Lat is reported
that the Shreveport and Red River
Valley Railway will build a branch
to Winfield; P. McIlvried, vice
president and general manager, at
Shreveport, La.
1t is also said that this latter road
wants to get into Natchez as it APP
pears the roads west of the Missis-
sippi river are looking for a gull
port and the best route is through
NatcheZ.

Governor Longino has refused to
call an extra session of the 1egisla-
ture for the purpose of repeating
the valued policy clause of the in
surance law. The Governor bases
his action. on the replies received
from the members of the legislature
who, he contends, did not favor the
repeal of the law, but the Compress
Associations committee, after can
wasting the legislators, declares to
have received an almost unanimous
voice in support of its repeal. The
question now rests between the re-

Candidates for county officers are
already announcing themselves in
the papers of several counties of

ample time to size up the different
candidates who announce them
selves next year, and they cannot
possibly better their conditions by
doing SO earlier. Next year we will
have politics served in every mag

We were told several years ago
by a prominent northwestern ranch
man that Mississippi was the finest
cattle breeding region on the con-
tinent, that careful inquiry showed
that she raised at least four calves
out of every five born, while in the
northwest one out of three was con-
sidered a fair estimate. He said
that many ranchmen were thinking
of starting breeding farms in our
state. Since that time the buying
of Mississippi calves for transport
tation to the ranches of the trans
Mississippi country has assumed
immense proportions, and ship
ments have been made from the
state. Happily orr people are gen
orally awaking to the value of their
calves, and these exports of young
stock are rapidly decreasing. Alb

by our local poet, are the revised
words to that sweet little song Be
cause 1 love you," and they COM
pare very favorably with the orig
inal:
l wander by the stream and dream,
As we were wont to do my dear,
While fond regrets steal our my
And whisper, o, that she were
near.
The stream sings sadly since you
left,
The birds ne'er sing at all, but sigh,
And seek your image in the brook
And then like phantoms hutter by.
CHORUS.
Because love you,
So tender, so true,
The past is one sweet dream,
The future dreary seems.
Angels above you
Could not but love you;
How then dear can I,
Fer cease to love you?
Then farewell dear if it must be,
But keep one gentle thought for me,
When friends are fond and life is
sweet
I would not bind you dear to me,
But when your friends have falsely
flown,
And those the dearest prove untrue,
Remember that I love you still
And fondly dream and wait for you.
