HELPING VARDAMAN
John Allen Thinks the Position the
President Has Taken In the
South Will Elect Vardaman.

According to Private John Allen
Of Mississippi, the action which has
been taken by President Roosevelt on
the negro question is operating to as
sist Mayor James z. Vardaman in his
race for the gubernatorial honors of
that state. Sentiment which has
been created by the stand taken by
the president has, according to the
former congressman, injected itself
into the campaign in this state to such
an extent that the nomination of Mr..
vardaman is likely to result.
Mr.. Allen spent the day in Mem
phis while en- route from his home at
Tupelo to st. Louis. When asked
about the four-cornered race in Missis-
sippi, he said:
I'VE have four very capable gen.
tlemen in the race, each Of whom is
sanguine of success. It looks to me
as though Vardaman has the best

MINES IN MISSISSIPPI.
NEED TO DEVELOP THEM

A correspondent of the Winona
Times who signs himself W. H. H.
gives Mississippi farmers the follow
ing pointers:
If the reports Of newspapers are
true, no man is doing more for the
south than Col. F. B. Merrill, ma
tive of New Hampshire, but resident
of Mobile. He says that he has
travelled extensively over the world,
and that he regards the gulf states as
having more and better openings for
the working man than any country he
has ever seen; that there are more
mines of wealth undeveloped among
us than in any country under the sun,
and that all that is necessary is for Us
to work these mines, and we can make
this the garden spot of the world.
You and your readers doubtless know,
Mr.. Editor, that our early boyhood
was spent in backwoods country.
The old hunters used to tell US that
when they were cow hunting, for then
they were looking away yonder, over
looking the deer that would start a
short distance from them; but that
when they were hunting hogs, looking
but short diastance before them, the
stately buck often fell before their
unerring rife. AS farmers let us
learn from their experience. Instead
looking to our own fields and farms
we have been looking abroad for what
we could and should raise at home.
| We are told that our friends in the
north make money by grazing cattle
on land worth 800 per acre, while We
have thousands of acres now worth less,
but if we'll set in bermuda grass that
would be worth nearly as much as
that in the north, as our summers are
longer and our winters warmer and
we could wire in our grass fields and
each farmer raise beef cattle and re-
organize the alliance on right princi-
Piles and havve joint stock company
to ship beef cattle to the northern
markets, sending nothing but first
class cattle. But some one will ask,
how are we to get grass set in our
fieldsP Well we don't know that
our plan is the best, but we propose
running small bulltongue plow fur
rows 10 or 10 feet apart and dropping
small pieces of grass roots and covering
them with your foot or hoe, or
with furrow with the same plow.
Hogs must be kept off until the grass
takes root. For moving we have q
good piece oe corn land, and will
drop grass roots in the middle Of the
rows, break up the land broadcast,
SOW my oats and harrow the land roll
or drag it for moving. We have long
been impressed with the fact that we
feed our stock too much corn, and as
result we have many weak-eyed
horses, not to speak of other diseases
which could all be obviated by having
good supply of hay and not feed more
than half the corn we do. Brother
farmers, let us hear from you.

Holly Spring South: A cores
pondent In the Oxford Globe suggests
that the cotton seed should be ex-
empt from debt, not by law but by
custom Of the country. Deeds of
trusts now cover all crops including
cotton seed, and the laboring classes
as a rule owe all the crop they raise.
The writer's Idea is that If the
cropper understands that he can
have his seed if he so desired to buy
the necessities of life, clothing, shoes,
etc., it would be an incentive to him
to pick out his crop as early as
possible for the sake of the seed he
would get, and that most tenants
would have their cotton picked out
by December and would do away
with the smuggling and surreptitious
| selling of cotton seed. The plan
looks plausible and In most cases
would in the end work to the benefit
of the landlord.

both these gentlemen This was probably not parucu

Now comes a series of conjectures from Washington
touching the presence of Leland there and the prooaDe

connection Judge Hook who before he went on the bench
was identified with the Leland combine is being urged
for promotion by Leland to Caldwe's place.

Then the lawyer sued the company for $3.50 as his
share Of the which had been paid to the plaintiff
