The commercial and manufacturing
interests of Jackson, Meridian and
other Mississippi towns, are calling
for enforcement Of the law with re-
spect to blind tigers and vagrancy,
el3iming that if this was done it would
not be so hard to get labor for all
purposes. While the complaint made
BY these interests is no doubt well
founded, they themselves are to blame
for the condition of affairs. The laws
of any community are just as well
executed as the communities want
them to be. When the people elect
men who they know to be in SYM
pathy with the gambling and blind
tiger element, they may expect that
these violators will not be disturbed.
There is an increasing demand
throughout the state for men who are
fearless in doing the right, and when
men Of this character are elected to
fill the offices, then will lawlessness
be put down and the vagrants put to
work, and not until this is done.

The citizens Of YazoO county were
so well pleased with the result of their
recent carnival that active steps are
being taken to organize permanent
fair association and make the event
an annual one. The immensely fer
tile delta section is capable of making
an exposition of products that could
not be excelled by any section OF the
world and Yazoo City IS in the heart
Of this district. Brookhaven is also
arranging for a permanent fair, stim-
ulated by the success of the carnival
week held this fall, Hazlehurst has
already decided on fair next year,
Mt. Olive had three days meeting
and display and will endeavor to
make it larger next season, New AL
bany is making preliminary investi-
cations with the view of holding a
fair and the whole state is waking up
to the great benefits to be thus de-
rived. Mississippi has long been
behind in this good work, but promises
great strides forward in the immed-
late future. In our sister state of
Louisiana the legislature makes an ap-
preparation Of ten thousand dollar
per annum for the benefit of the state
fair and five thousand for the en-
couragement of parish fairs, fifteen
i a
The investment has been found a
good one and there is now no opposi-
ton to the measure, but besides, the
agricultural people appreciate the
good being done and are strongest
in the demand that it be continued.
The Mississippi legislature could very
we'll afford to encourage these splen-
did educational institutions.

DENIAL FALSE RIMOR

It is currently reported that Mr.. James

Stiles some time before the last election
for probate judge promised Mr.. Downey.
in consideration Of Downey's support of
Stiles for probate Judge, that he, Stiles
would support Downey in the present race
for sheriff. | wish to say to the voters of
this county that such report is untrue and
that there was no such PROMISE under
standing or agreement between Mr.. Dow
ney and myself In justice to Mr.. Dow
ney l wish to say that | am informed
that he did not, and states when asked,
that he did not make any such statement
or start any such report and that the
same is incorrect. Furthermore, even IL
/ had made such promise or there had
been such an agreement or understand
ing between Mr.. Downey and myself, I
would have been absolved from same and
perfectly free to enter this race for sher-
if as Mr.. Downey himself would have
been the first to break this supposed
agreement and understanding, because he,
Downey. did not vote for me in said race
for probate judge but voted for my OPP
ponent, the Hon. Samuel p. Greene. and
voluntarily stated to Judge Greene few
days since that he had voted for him in
the said race against Stiles.

Contest.

As a result of the action of c. P. Bed
dow in contesting the election of his OPP
ponent, Nathan l.. Miller, to the stale

suggested by J. B. Arid, chairman of
the subcommittee, as the best solution
of the difficulty. At conference between

was decided that the boxes should be
opened on the nth for the purpose of set
ting the poll tax lists and registration pa
