Many good men in Chickasaw coun'
ty will rejoice when they read the an
nouncement in this paper Of the name
Of George h. Mitchell, Of PontotOc, as
a candidate for District Attorney.
They will rejoice because they know
Mr.. Mitchell ~favorably and well, adj
mire his sterling worth, recognize his
towering abilities IS q lawyer and his
honor, his cleanliness as q citizen and
gentleman. They realize that in cast
ing their ballots for him for so impor-
tant a position as that to which he
ospires, they are seeking to honor one
Of the brightest young men Of the
South, one who has no superior as a
legal light in the state, and who must
become M Of the leading men OF
affairs in the South before Mississippi
is much older. Mr.. Mitchell's ability
and worth has not been confined to
his W county, nor even to this dis
trict, for he has been reconizedi
young as he is, as n Of the agrees
sive attorneys of the Southland, and
as the occupant Of the position to
which he aspires he viii bring credit
to every one who gives him support
In the campaign.
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1903-03-11

It Is not too early in the campaign
for the people to begin thinking
about the capabilities and worthiness
of the men seeking their suffrage in the
pending campaign. Just because q
man happens to want an Office is no
recommendation for him. The people
should consider the fitness of those
they choose to look after their affairs.
II q man is incompetent or from any
reason Objectionable &c q citizen, he is
likely to become more burdenSome as
an official than useful. When men
are paid to perform work, those who
pay the freight should be careful to
always select the best material. The
earlier this work OF investigation is
opened the less liable are the people
to make mistakes in the choosing Of
their servants. Remember, 1t is not
a selection Of bosses and managers,
but OF servants, whom you expect to
pay well for their work, and it is just
as well to have the best as to take g
more inferior quality. Study all the
character and fitness Of every man
who seeks your suffrage. II he has
been tried and fround wanting, you
don't have to try the same sorrow
over again.

lie under certain conditions. Well, we
can generally get the conditions fixed.
Il is necessary sometimes to lie to q
customer to get him to buy an article
we are showing him. It is necessary
to lie about our health, about our
domestic affairs, about our ueighbors,
to keep from giving the maway. And
there are a thousand other conditions
that arise, and all together combine to
make us a world Of liars. oh, you old

That Is 3 queer combination at the
head Of the editorial page Of the Del
ia Register, ct Clarksdale. The name
Of F. A. Critz appears as the papers
choice for Governor and Immediately
under this appears the name in the

for United States senator. It IL q well

Longino, as a candidate for United

the people could not smash it, when
they put their heads together to do
the job. Wilson's days are numbered,

The talk INDUCED by many of the
New England papers and the educa-
tors who furnish them something to
talk about, concerning the education
of the South, would lead the average
reader to imagine that the South was
q great big fungus growth without
schools, without teachers and without
learning Of any kind. This sort Of
business is really nauseating, and
almost calls for contempt. The talk
is principally based upon the assump-
ton that the South is composed en-
tirely Of negroes, and the philantro-
pists are anxious to civillze the Sec
ton as they would the Sanwitch
Islands or the Philippines. The fact
lie that the South is a cultured section,
and capable of carrying forward its
own educational work, barring the
fact that there is some difference Of
opinion as to the wisdom Of spending
treasure in an attempt Of transforming
q colored field hand into a crap shooter
criminal to loaf about the towns and
live by his wits az soon as he can read
and write a few sentences.

A number of good papers in the
state are advocating 8 change in the
criminal procedure of the common
wealth, from the present district plan
to that OF county courts with iurisdiC-

finally, except when an appeal is
taken to the supreme court on error.

The sensational libel suit of the

and they are improving it. And

have looked upon the newspapers OF

them IN all political discussions. Now
that the people are to run their own
