PRESS COMMENT.

Judging from our exchanges, and what
information we gather from the travel
ling men, who visit every portion of the
State and have ample opportunity for
informing themselves, Major Vardaman
will be an easy winner. The issue in this
campaign is "Vardaman" pure and
simple, and all OF his opponents are
training their guns upon the statesman
OF Lefore, but their aim is not accurate,
and he goes on winning votes each day,
notwithstanding their darts.-Wood-

A Voice from the Hills.

The people of the Delta are not Il bit
discouraged They are accustomed to
breaks in the lcvees, and they know that
the water leaves valuable deposits on
their lands. Nor do they accept the
theory that the bed of the river is rising.
Robert Marshall Brown in recent bull
lctin OF the American geographical socie-
ty disputes this proposition, holding
that the overflow is due to the efforts OF
the Mississippi River Commission to
narrow the channel, thus compelling the
river to seour out its bed. The observa-
tions of the low water stages do not
show that they are rising, and if they are
not rising the high water stages must be
due to other causes. 1t is asserted that
the low water stages are falling and If
this be fully confirmed the bed Of the
IltCl ID StiSO iniiiuS "A et'iS ioe~ S"~' =
is no Conclusive evidence that additional
sediment is being deposited in it. So
says Mr.. Brown. Mr. Browns theory
will be comforting to the planters i'll tie
Delta, and if they can secure from
Congress large appropriations for lcvce
purposes, they will not be scared out OF
their fertile acres by tie opposite theory
What is needed is more thorough levee
work in the place of the piecemeal pro.
cess that has long been i'll use. The
engineers in charge Of the work are
competent, and Congress should do the
rest.-Msridian Press.
