Mrs. Vardaman Dead.

Governor Jas. K. Vardaman ar
rived in the city on the 6 O'Clock
train Saturday morning for the
purpose of filling his appointment
to address the Lee County Cot
ton Growers Association which
had invited him to do so. Soon
after the arrival of the Gov
ernor a message waa received
announcing the death Of his
mother at an early hour that
morning at the Governors man
sion at Jackson. The night before
when her son left she was appar-
entity we'll and in the best of
spirits and the sad announcement
of her death the next morning
was a great blow to the governor,
who left on the 9 o'clock south
bound train for Jackson.
Mrs. Vardaman was a native
of Huntsville Ala, and moved to
Mississippi when a child, where
she resided until she married.
With her husband she moved to
Texas where the present gov
ernor was born. Mrs. Vardaman
was a woman of strong person
atty and was dearly beloved by
every one who knew her well
and appreciated her kindly
christian character. She has been
a member Of the governors
household for many years and
was his special care. The gov
ernor received many messages
of coincidence from friends in all
parts Of the state.

In conversation with one of our
most successful farmers a few
days since we inquired if he
would reduce his cotton acreage
during the present year. He re-
piled: Il reduced my cotton
acreage several years ago. |
plant my crop so as to supply
my farm with everything it
needs. l plant one third of my
land in corn, one third in hay and
one third in cotton" This man
sets a good example for many
farmers who plant too largely in
cotton. Diversification is the
successful way of getting the
best results. Try it.
The Tupelo journal., 1905-03-24
Acreage Wifi Be Reduced.

AS the time draws near for the
planting of the cotton crop of this
year it becomes more and more
potent that the acreage will be re-
duced below that of last year by
several millions of acres. The eff
forts on the part of those inter-
ested to reduce the acreage for
the purpose Of placing the price
at a remunerative figure have
met with success in effecting
an organization that will hold.
From all sections of the cotton
belt reports come that the farmers
are determined to stand by their
agreements to cut down the crop.
The lateness of the season also
will now make it impossible to
plant the acreage that was put
in cotton last year. In only a few
places has planting begun, and
unless the weather changes for
the better a great deal of the
crop in this section will not be
put in the ground until near the
first of May. For some time it
has been evident that the organ
ization of the producers to cut
down their acrerge has had it's
influence on the market. and
there has been a steady advance
in price until it shows more than
a cent from the lowest point.
This advance has put several
millions of dollars in the pockets
of the farmers instead of the
spectators or manufactors.

The result Of the caucus held
last week by the Tennessee
legislature resulted in the cleo
ton of Gov. Frazier to succeed
Senator Bate. The two ex-gove-
rnors, Taylor and McMillin, were
unable to muster votes enough
to prevent the election of Frazier
so their names were not presented
to the caucus. 1t is announced
that Gov. Taylor will contest the
seat of Senator Carmack at the
election. In the fight it seems
that the Taylor and McMillin
will be lined up against the sup
porters of Carmack, Frazier and
Gov. Cox, with the chances large
" in favor of the latter COM
bination. Anew order of things
has been installed in the politics

that his task of overcoming the

possible, The severe work Of
his campaign told on the Russian

Some Fine Beef Cattle.

Charlie Carothers shipped out
q car load Of beef cattle Monday
to st. Louis that would compare
favorably with any cattle that
may be put on sale in that market.
The car consisted of % head of
short horn steers that were
brought in here just ninety days
ago from Fort Worth Texas,
and fattened in Mr.. Carothers
pens on cotton seed hulls and
meal. They were bought in
Texas and shipped here for the
reason that native steers were
scarce and besides the short
horn proves the most profitable
in feeding. The car was the best
of a lot of Ill head which were
bought at the same time, the
others will remain in feeding a
week or two longer. We wish
every man in the country who
raises cattle could have seen this
car load of steers. 1t would have
been quite an incentive to improve
the grade of beef which we are
now raising. The average weight
of the lot was between 1000 and
/ 1000 pounds, the ages being three
years with a uniform color of
red. Before being brought here
they had never fed on any thing
but grass and were almost a clear
profit to the breeder.

RATES OF
Notice

The Journal has about complet-
ed the installment of it's new
material and is now as well
equipped for taking care of its
business as any weekly in the
state. We have added a complete
line of new type and all work
turned out will be as neat as it
is possible for it to be made.
Another addition that will facili-
tate the turning out Of work is a
four horse power gasoline engine
which enables us to do twice the
work with a press than formerly.
1t is our purpose to make the
paper all home print and as soon
as arrangements can be made to
effect the change we will do so.
In the meantime we desire to
say that we would be glad to
have every man in the county on
our subscription list, We will en-
deavor to give you all the local
news of interest and you will
find in the Journal a staunch sup
porter of all things that tend to
add to the prosperity of the
county.

vardaman and Williams.

Since The Commonwealth
'scooped" all the newspapers in
the State last week in the matter
of the Governors Senatorial
candidacy, we can very well
imagine the CONSERVATION thus
created in the White House.
Either James K. Vardaman or
John Sharp Williams in the Sen
ate would be q thorn in the side
of all enemies of the South, nc
matter to what party they might
belong, because they are both
great men, statesmen by reason
of brains and experience, and
honest to the core. Neither OF
them would stoop to anything
small for the best Office in the
Nation. Both of them will repre-.
sent Mississippi in the Senate,
but only one of them can go at
the next election, and we predict
the hardest fight ever made for
any office in the history of the
world.
John Sharp Williams has money
in all the shapes it has ever been
made in; he is a clever and pop
ular man; he has the prestige
that years in the Congress gives
any candidate coupled with the
power that being leader Of the
minority has stored up for him;
he has influential friends all over
the State; and a reputation for
success, to maintain.
James K. Vardaman has not
of this worlds goods; he has al
ways been too honest and too
busy to make money; he has
practiced law and saved the
necks and the fortunes of his
friends when he knew he would
never ask nor receive one penny
for the service; he went to the
wars for his country and was
promoted to Major while in the
service and on the field; he has
at his command the State polit-
ical machine and is making it
stronger all the time; he is an
orator second to none in the
South or any other country,
knows the people as they are,
and can hold them spell bound
while he dreams for them in the
most weird and extravagant
orations the world has ever herad
and delighted in; he is thoroughly
picturesque, powerful, pyrotech-
nlcal, paralyzing, penetrating,
pungent.

be removed to the rear. The
