[MMHUTH SUPPORTS
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

Editor Evening Bulletin: The press
of this city deserves the commentator
of the voters and taxpayers for its gen.
eral attitude on the subject OF fran.
chises, and, in view OF legislative &C.
ton on several such propositions, It IL
proper that those members granting
the same should do so with thorough
knowledge of the possible conse.
qucnCes.
We have in the Oahu Railway and
Land Company local object lesson of
the conditions created by granting spc.
cial privileges.
Here Is a corporation that. in the
short interval of its existence and be.
fore the subsidy limit under its fran.
chise expires. has accumulated assets
that have enabled II to declare a stock
dividend equal to its capitalization
while the Government which granted
the franchise has to go outside Of its
immediate resources and seek the
means for meeting the subsidy through
a loan. 1t Is safe to predict that be.
fore the Government repays that loan
the railway company will have created
sufficient additional wealth to declare
more stock dividends.
The railway company Is not to he
blamed for making all they can from
what has been given them and II Is
not the purpose OF this article to take
up the glazing discrimination practic.
ed in the conduct of its business: but
the object lesson should not be lost on
the present generation of lawmakers.
In my opinion, the Legislature Is AT.
tempting line OF legislation which. in
the light of modern ideas and the pres.
ent trend of thought on the subject will
find its quietus in Public Ownership.
When legislators once learn the
lesson Of emancipation from the slav.
cry OF taxes they will be more Chary
OF granting franchises; for they Will
have then found out that the cOnscrva.
Ion of these public utilities to the uso
and benefit of the community Is the
short cut to reducing taxes on one hand
and expenses on the other.
For this reason | admire the stand
The Bulletin has been taking on the
matter of a city-owned conduit system
for electric wires of all kinds; this
would be a big step toward cmancipa.
ton from that thief Exclusive" and
his sidc.partner Free from Taxes, "
that try to creep into every special
privilege Tat is granted.
In conclusion give you the clause
on granting franchises contained in the
County Bill passed by the Legislature
two years ago. and ask the present
Legislature to quit monkeying with
franchises, pass County Bill embody.
ing the features as quoted below, and
give the people the right to determine
Tor themselves what shall be done with
the assets OF generations yet unborn.
Yours for equal rights,

BUSINESS NOTICE. GOOD TINE To
REMEMBER THE PRINTER.

During the next two weeks The
Leader will send out a large num-
Der of statements of account to
its subscribers in various direc-
tons. Where persons know them
selves to be indebted to the pa
per, and it is convenient for them
to call at the Office when in town,
or remit otherwise, we would
thank them to do so, without
waiting to have statement sent
them.
With cotton at 8, 10 and II
cents, it ought not to be hard for
any subscriber to settle for back
rations and renew for a year in
advance. The Leader used to be
$500 a year when cotton sold at
Z and s cents, and when the pa
per was a column to the page
smaller than it is now and pub
ished only once week. At its
present size, and published twice
a week, it is cheap at $500. In
fact, this is just as cheap as we
can afford to publish such local
paper. We will not offer any
cut rate during this season, but
if any of our readers wish to
take The Home and Farm in con-
nection with The Leader, we will
furnish both papers for 1925
cash.
Editors, like other people, have
taxes to pay and other extra ex-
penses to meet along at this sea-
son of the year, and while our
many valued patrons arc lavish
ingly distributing their dollars
around and preparing for Merry
Christmas, we hope they will
bear this fact in mind and make
it possible for editor and printers
to enjoy the festive season too.

MISSISSIPPI At THE WORLDS FAIR.

Mr.. j. +. Mckay, of Madison
county, who was recently APP
pointed to select articles from
this section of Mississippi to be
exhibited at the Worlds Fair,
was a caller at The Leader Office
on Thursday and spent day
among our citizens.
While Mr.. Mckay found our
people very busy, yet he states
there is a liberal and interpreting
spirit among them.
McGrath & Son are going
to give the exhibit a bale Of
Lincoln county cotton with some
sample cotton; also some sky
scraping corn.
The Progressive Oil.Mill Co.
contributed of their products
what was asked.
Mr.. Batchulder of the Pear
River Lumber Co., made 8
liberal contribution of lumber,
something like a carload, fol-
Mississippi's building.
We understand that Missis-
sippi's' exhibit is going ito be
among the very best; and thai
she has secured the center space
in one of the largest buildings
for the display of her property
and agricultural products. Mr.
Mckay states that any contribu-
tions of farm products or tim
Der from the county, may be
brought to the McGraft store
from which place they will b.
shipped to Jackson, where they
will be stored in the old capito
and prepared for shipment tt
st. Louis.
Mr.. H. W. HUNTINGTON is pre-
pairing his very valuable colIec
ton of coins, historic documents
ETC., for exhibition in the Miss
issippi building, which will be .
| fac smile of Beauvoir and known
by that historic title.
Mississippi has space in thu
Forestry building, the Horticul
tural Palace aud the Agricultural
Hall and will have some mat
tiers of interest for the Authropo
logical building and a. small
space in the Educational build
ling. Any exhibits of interes
should be sent at once to r. I'll
Henry, at jackson.
| Now is the time for our county
to rally to the demands of the
Exposition for Mississippi and We
hope our citizens and country.
men will come forward with theil
best products from field, farm
and forest.

Consumption IS 4 human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds IFS
easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes i'm.
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

REVIVAL OF MHITECApIsM.

The revival of Whltecaplsm IN
this county and Franklin on an
extensive scale should arouse the
indignant resentment and serious
concern of every law-abiding citi-
zen of these counties. The Lead
er is greatly pleased that meet
ing of the representative citizens
and farmers of beat 4, Franklin
county, has been held to de-
nounce and arrest these out
RACES, and that general county
meeting for this purpose, was
called at Meadville Monday.
We are also pleased to note that
DR.. A. M. Newman, the new
sheriff-elect of Franklin county, a
man of intrepid courage and
determination, and who yields a
potent influence in our sister
county, is taking leading part,
even before his induction into
Office, tc suppress this baleful and
cowardly form of lawlessness,
aimed at a weaker and prac-
tically defenseless race of
people in our midst. The people
of Lincoln county can move in
the matter none too soon; but
the application of the needful rem
edy in Lincoln, as in Franklin,
depends chiefly upon the white
farmers and land owners them
selves. With the laws all on their
side, with officers at hand
ready to execute these laws, with
the perpetrators of these crimes
too cowardly and fearful of the
quality of their misdeeds to per-
petrate them except under cover
of darkness,-if the white far
mers, and land owners Of the
county are SO Indifferent, short
sighted or cowardly as to sit
down passively while the labor
of the whole county is being in
Inundated, demoralized and driven
to other parts, causing de-
probation in the value of proper
ty and giving the county q bad
reputation abroad. then the
blame will be at their own doors.
The Leader learns that negroes
are being warned and driven
from their homes in sections of
the county never before disturb
ed, notably to the east Of Brook
haven, and, in several instances
but a short distance from town.
The notices of warning are almost
uniform in wording and usually
written on a type writer, show
ing a common source. There is
strong presumption that labor
agents, or other parties inter-
ested in securing hands for
Louisiana or Delta plantations, are
taking advantage Of Lincoln's and
Franklin's bad reputation and
the negro's state of srepidati0n
in these counties, are back Of this
new demonstration Of white
capism. No matter, however,
who is back Of and stirring up the
degilment, the good, law abid-
ing citizens Of the county should
rise up ID their majesty and might

FROM EDGAR.

After the snow it was not SO.
dusty and a gentle rain came and
settled the rest.
Forest fires gave us in this
section quite a lot of trouble, de-
stroying some fencing, but no
houses. The fire that burned the
fence on the Lee Hutchins place
was doubtless put out for that
purpose.
Mr.. Jacob Smith and sons,
about four miles northeast
from Edgar, lost big lot of their
fence recently by fires in the
woods.
Our people are about done
gathering theil crops of all
species for this year and have
begun building and improving
their farms and residences. The
big price of cotton makes a
farmer look respectable.
Our public school (Topisaw) /,
near Edgar, is progressing finely
now. Miss Gussie Paxton,
principal, and Miss Ola Will
liams, assistant, are both excel
lent school workers as well as
teachers and social leaders.
The church (Topisaw) will re-
sumo services on the regular
time, 4th Sunday and Saturday
before in each month, after Jan.
LIST. 1904. We are not inform
ed as to who the pastor will be.
We learn that Mr.. Sid Will
liams, of Edgar, will be architect
for the splendid public school
building to be erected at Cross
Road, near Mr.. w. G. Prices,
south of here.
The Bailey Branch patrons
have a splendid, commodious
shcool building in progress on
the Brookhaven and Monticello
road, near the residence of Mr..
j. F. Thames, who donated the
Hand on which the building will
stand.
Mr.. T. E. Summers is master
workman on the new residence
for Simon Stovall, near Edgar,
so our colored people are going
to stay-no white Gaping needed.
Our friend John Lawrence, a
renter on Mr.. A. M. Summers
place, moved away recently to a
home of his own. Good luck to
John wherever he goes.
| We note the traffic in real estate
is exceedingly abundant, beyond
anything we have seen in this
section, and the price of land is
advancing rapidly, but still there
is room for good W hite settlers.

Summers are arranging for visit
