The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1906-08-25
SPEAKING OF RECORDS.

One of Mr.. Mixon's partisans
boasts that none Of bis opponents
have dared attack bis public rec.
Eord and intimates very broadly
that there is nothing in it which
could be justly criticised. The
principal reason no doubt, why
so little has been said about Mr..
Mixon's legislative record is that
|it would have been a waste OF
ammunition making a needless
effort to defeat a man who never
stood any chance of getting elect
ed to Congress from the day he
announced.
The Leader has shown that Mr..
Nixon, while a member of the
Legislature, voted against and
opposed giving the Governor the
authority, in the new Code, to
suspend drunken officials, on aft
dayit or Indictment, and that he
also voted against resolution
expressing it as the sense of the
House that such officials should
resign.
If-The Leader had been dispos-
ed to pursue Mr.. Mlxon's record,
1T could have shown that he sup
ported and voted for the section
in the chapter on corporations
which Gov. Yardaman vetoed,
give big moneyed corporations
the right to bny up and hold $10,-
100000 of timber lands in this
State, thus bidding for the crea-
tion of vast land and lumber
trusts in Mississippi, instead OF
conserving the interests of the
masses of tho people with small
means who are struggling to own
and build little homes of their
own.
1t could also have been shown
that Mr.. Nixon has been strutting
in borrowed plumage, and is not
entitled to but very little of the
credit he has claimed on the stump
for the passage of the bill creating
the Department of Agriculture
and Commerce, and the law re-
quirlng railroads to furnish
switches and adequate shipping
facilities for saw mills and other
manufacturing enterprises situat-
ed on their lines. /.
However, Mr.. Mixon's distin-
guished opponent and Mr.. Nc
Lain's friends have not paraded
these and other things that could
be found in Mr.. Mixon's legisIa-
tive record, because, as we have
already stated, it was evident
from the first that the ambitious
youth" from Pike, now past 40,
already had more to carry than
he could successfully wag with
through the campaign.

McLAl.!lNS WORK.
Things Done by Him no Opponent Has
Been Able to Disproye by the Record.

Briefly summarized, Mr.. Nc
Lain has during his service in
Congress, secured appropriations
for rivers and harbors of his dis
trict amounting to $766, 900; for
war claims, $105,0O0, and for
public buildings, 100000, max
ing a total of $1,071, 200, not
counting pensions.
Claims allowed by an act Of
Congress to citizens of his district
since he was elected:

Oh Cents

And we have hoped for this price to prevail,
but the present market allows us only about
9 cents. 1t is very evident fact that
it is not always Just what we want for our
products that controls the price, but the law
of SUPPLY AND DEMAND. 1t is, there
fore, necessary that we should help create
good demand for COTTON GOODS of all
grades. The more demand for cotton goods
creates better demand for the raw material,
hence the price goes up, and you are bene-
fitted thereby.
When supplying your needs in this line,
remember that our very large stock enables
us to name you very close prices. We lead
the market on standard and high grade
goods. WE BUY NOTHING BUT THE
BEST, which we can sell you at the same
prices others ask for the cheapest.

Things Are Different Now.

Five or six years ago, the question of
making stock sales was on the big, I'M
organized basis of striking out any
where, everywhere, for anything. 1t
lacked personality. The dread of the
promoter was the meeting with his
clients. In fact, he had only buyers,
and no clients at all.
Today, the promotion house has a
clientele. Moreover, it aims to pre-
serve that following, which means that
"making good" is a vital point with
the promoter. 1t may not be mere
moral influence; but it is good business
judgment. The attitude of the investor
is to stay with the mar or the firm
giving him the fairest deal. The in
weston wants to make money. He
wants to see things maintained at a
high point of perfection in honesty.
And with this, great things are possible.
1t has been a gradual shifting, with the
result that promotion is on a irmer
basis today than it has ever been before.
The clientele tells the story.

Congressman Van Duzer Says
He VIII Sue Those Who
Have Attacked Him.

Congressman Van Duzer returned to
Nevada last Tuesday morning and after
enending a few hours in Reno, repaired
IN Carson City to see Acting Governor
Allen. He was greatly worried over
The newspaper attacks that have been
made upon him during the past three
months and declared that he will bring
j number of suits against his accusers.
On this subject he said in an interview
with the Reno Journal representative:

Gus suits to be brought for the purpose

in the p~enitentiary.
81 am the victim of one of the dirt

plot the exposure of which will cause a
sensation in this State.

A SpccldA rom CdrrolllOn says.
 The recent meeting of the stock holders of the Carrollton Short Line Railway Company at this place, at which 1t was decided to change the name of the road to the Alabama, Ten nessee and Northern, has aroused a hope among the people of this section that 1t is the intention of the pro- moters of the, road to extend the lin } to Tennessee, possibly to Memphis, in a short time.
 Conservative men claim that Mem phis is the logical point for a termi- nus for the road. When 1t is consid- cred that the Tombigbee Vsiiey Rail road out of Mobile which extends about sixty miles up the Tombigbee valley, is under the same management as the Alabama, Tennessee and North ern, and that work on the former line continues without relaxation, the idea that the two roads are to b3 joined and to be extended to Mem phis or some other point in Tennessee is not without good foundation,
 Such a line would open ID a rich and fertile country and give direct connection to two great Southern business points, and on the comple- tion of the Panama canal would be

 Mir Turrentine was with the. Louis vile and Nashville at Athens, and MT. Pitts was assistant ticket agent in the union ticket office operated by the Central, Seaboard Air Line and south ern at Columbus, Ga.
 This increases the force in the local union ticket office to six men. Union Ticket Agent Suratt and Assistants Copeland, Flowers, Meaders, Pitts and Turrentine, complete the force.

 By this means the union ticket office at the station will, be open for bust- ness all night according to the agree ment made with the City Council
 The telephone placed in the ticket office has been in use some days and has proved to be great convenience When an effort was being made to com promise with the city in regard to the uptown ticket office exclusively for the use of negro travellers.

 Today's session of the United states Court has been taken up In hearing pleadings in the case of the First Bap- United States Fidelity and FGuarantee
 This case has been through several of the lower courts and a final decision in the suit will be probably reached when the case is tried in the United Sg as Court.
 The case grew out of the building of the new Baptist Church in this city. About six years ago that congregation decided to build new house of wor- ship and an architect drew up the plans for an imposing and modern stone structure Bids for its building were advertised for and many were re- ceived.
 When the bids were opened the con tract was let to H. M. Johnson, he be- required to give bond and the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Com pany went on his bond and guaranteed his faithful carrying out of the con tract which he had made.
 Johnson began the church building and worked upon 1t for some months. Then suddenly, for some unknown req Selma. Work upon the building was stopped for several weeks. when Ern- est Lamar of this city, a prominent member of the congregation of the church, took up the work and completed 1t according to the plans drawn by the architect.
 The result of MT. Lamar's work is the building that now stands upon the corner of Dallas and LauderdaIe Streets, one of the prettiest church buildings in the South. It is an orna- ment to the city and is building which the congregation is proud of
 When Johnson failed 70 carry out his contract, suit was brought against the United States Fidelity and Guaran- tee Company for the amount of the bond.
