From Sundays Paper.

The location of a cotton mill at
Tupelo through the instrument
ality of a little advertising and
some work on the part of its
commercial organizations calls
attention to the absence and en-
phasizes TIE need of live, ag
gressive, public spirited body
here. We have had boards of
trade without number and they
have been composed of well
meaning citizens who have paid
their money and then talked the
organization to death without
doing any work. WHAT'S needed
is a committee Of ten or fifteen
good men to look after such an en-
terprise, to do the work, and the
entire business and com mercial
community to back them up IL
nancially and otherwise. Such
4 plan if putinto effect here could
accomplish a great deal for the
advancement of Columbus.

To My FELLOW CITIZENS or THE
WEST SIDE:
Yielding to the solicitations
and calls of my local friends and
neighbors, / feel it to be my duty
to proclaim my candidacy for
the legislature. For fear of ad
verse criticism of my apparent
delay and tardiness in my an
nouncement. I will say, first,
that the other candidates We're
duly apprised, before their an
nouncement, I was celebrating
upon and contemplating this
course of action; second, press
ing business engagements, de-
sire to confer with my friends in
the country, and the inclemency
of the weather have delayed and
prevented earlier action.
| think the prime test of a rep
resentative should be character,
fitness and ability the prominent
characteristics should be capac-
ity, faithfulness and honesty; and
[ suspect that individual worth
and personal merit will be re-
quired and demanded of a repre-
sentative by the intelligent and
thoughtful voters of this district.
Loyalty to friends and devotion
to duty shall be my watch-word.
Respectfully,
S. S. SCALES
