Mississippi Superintendent Of
Education is Expected
70 RUN FOR GOVERNOR
10 Nan in Siats Has Larger Aoqg3int-
aao8--Nas First Appointed to Office
By Governor nCLaHrin.

Tae latest possible candidate
for gubernatorial aspirations IS
State Superintendent Of E3uoa-
ton H. L. Whitfield. News
given out from Jackson in regard
to this conjecture Is that the pre-
dictT0n can 0e made with almost
absolute certainty that Prof. Z.
L. Whitfield, state superintend-
ent Of education, will be formally
announced within a short time as
a candidate for the g0vernorship
Of Mississippi.
This announcement, however,
viii not be wholly surprising, for
it has been generally. rumored
Tor the past ten days that P,of.
Whitfield was seriously contem-
plating an entrance into the race,
and it is expected that his def
nite statement to this effect viii
be forthcoming before the ad-
j1urnment of the Legislature.
Among close observers Of p =
liGcal events it is conceded that
Prof. Whitfield must be regarded
rs. . oontea3 Ser at the finish. His
candidacy can not be lightly
treated, for there is not 8 mn ia
the state who enjoys a larger ac-
quaiEtauce or a greater measure
of popularity among the masses:
Like many other good 21ississ
ippi politicians, Prof. Whitfield
is from Rankin county, He was
appointed state superintendent or
education in 1899 by Governor
NcLaurin, to succeed Prof. A.A.
Kincannon, who resigned to ac-
cept the presidency Of the Indus
trial Institute and College. aad
at the following state election
was elected without opposition,
being reelected in the same
manner at the last state election,
which is an unusual compliment
when the fact is considered that
Mississippi has many able and
ambitious educators who would
Ike very much 70 fill this office.
The candidacy Of Prof. WaiJ-
field is certain 70 upset some pre-
sent calculations, and places an
other element of doubt and IN
certainty to the probable outcome
Of the next guberna-ofial race.
His formal announcement viii b.
be awaited with interest.

The work of rebuilding the

buil5ings. bat they viii be re-
placed as RAPIDLY as possible.
The relief committee did not
meet Tuesday afternoon. Sever
AL were present but not enough
to constitute e quorum.
This afternoon the relief com
mittee expects to hold a meeting,
at which resorts are expected
from all the su6oommit5ees.
The contributions to the relief
fund continue to come ia and the
people Of Meridian can never
forget The generous responses
made, not to any appeal, but TO
the statement that voluntary con
tribaaons would be thankfully
received and used jadiciously.
Tbs exact amount that has
been contributed Is not known asi
sons subscriptions have net yet
been paid, tut the fund probably
slightly exceeds $4,000. The
majority Of people seem to think
ii 500, 900 could be reached, The
situation could be well cared for.
Among the receipts this morn /
ing was S. from a one-legged !
Confederate veteran, who sug- I
gested that if the people of Miss
issippi should quit buying liquor
for one week and contribute the
amount thus spent to the Merid-
ian sufferers, there would be
ample money to entirely relieve
the situation. There are quite a
number who believe the gen erous
hearted old hero is correct in his
aa.im afe Of this matter. /

No minimum and no maximum
wage was adopted, IS was at
first demanded by the men, but
the salaries Of the employees at

Il has been suggested that an

tributioas from this source would
be truly representative. There
are about 100000 educable chill
dren IN Mississippi, and If the
proper enthusiasm were aroused
IN the schools the sum needed
would be forthcoming within
short time. Some of the schools
have sent contributions direct to

was published in the paper and when
the lad saw it he wrote to his parents,
saying that he had a good job asd
was doing well, but did not give his
address or say where he was employ
ed. Mrs. Davis has written several
letters to him and they are now in

MARI0N'S new
LAUNDRY COMPLETED
One Of the Most Modern and Latest In
proved In the State
AND A DESERVING HOME INDUSTRY

Only few weeks ago it was the
talk that Marion might some day have
laundry. The most enthusiastic
advocates of public utilities and con-
veniences did not expect to see it in
stalled and in working order until
summer, but how poorly they judged
is proven by the fact, that with the
advent Of the New Year the laundry
was here--a Marion Enterprise
ready for business. During the last
few weeks the machinery, heating
plant and other equipments necessary
have been placed, as rapidly as pos
sible, i'll position until now excepting
the new brick stack, the plant is com
pletely finished, and is not excelled
in any city of similar size in America.
In fact the laundry machinery is all
Of the latest improved designs.
What is necessary now to make
this a success in Marion is the un-
divided support of Marion and the
contiguous territory.
AL the money you send out of the
state or the county is gone for all
time; what you spend here patroniz
ing home industries may find its way
back to your Golfers But aside from
selfish motives each citizen of the
community should help along any en-
terprise that home capital is risked
in, for how many of us are willing to
do likewise--put capital into any
thing where there is an element of
risk; we'll such is the case with every
public convenience.
There is a risk In building rail
road there is a risk in building a saw
or Touring mill, there is a risk IN
building spar mill, there is risk
in building a telephone system, or an
electric light system, laundry, ice
plant or a separating plant, hence, it
is the duty of every citizen to throw
no stones in the way Of the success
of any of our home industries.
