TO THE PEOPLE
OF MISSISSIPPI
THE WASHINGTON COUNTY
THOMAS CLUB APPEALS TO
THE PEOPLE IN BEHALF OF
HON. ERNEST N. THOMAS


Washington county presents to you
as her candidate for Governor of OUT
beloved State, her favorite son, E. n
Thomas. now Speaker OF the House
of Representatives
While the election is more than a
year removed, the canvass has been
preciptated Our candidate expects
If elected to be chosen by the elect
ors Of Mississippi after a full, fair
and free discussion Of the issues be-
fore them, and not by a clique or
faction or set of men whose opin-
IONS are ready made.
We ask your earnest consideration
of the claims Of +. N. Thomas, be
leving that it will be followed by
his election. We claim that he is
ihe man for Governor of Mississippi,
for the following reasons:
First He i man thoroughly
versed in State affairs; alive to the
best interests OF Mississippi, which
he has lovingly and faithfully served
for many years.
Second He Is not a man of To-
caI:ty, nor does he represent a spe-
cIal interest, but Is known through
out the State, whose various inter
ests he has materially conserved.
Third He is ripe in years, but Wig
Orous tn manhood, and in denuncia-
ton OF the wrong and support of
right
Fourth. No man is more closely
Identified with the long and success
full struggle for penitentiary reform,
yet this IS but one Of many services
rendered his State
Fifth His legislative services to
our public schools and colleges, ex-
tending through a period of fourteen
years, and especially to the Industrial
Institute and College, of which every
Mississippian feels justly proud, in
stances notably this community of
interests
Sixth He is broad in his views;
not wrapped up in any one theory
to the exclusion OF other important
matters
Seventh He is one who would, as
Givernor, be for and represent Our
entire peOple-nOt special interest.
His time and efforts would be given
TO the State, as they have always
been to his county, where he has
always been a promoter of public
morals and public improvements;
where he has always shared the la
bors, troubles and anxieties of his
people; where he has sacrificed his
private interests to the public wei
fare, until his county. with pride,
presents him to Mississippi knowing
full well that he will likewise serve
his State. and redeem every pledge
thar we could make for him
For his promotion to this broader
field Of Usefulness, the people in his
home county ask your cooperation.
In proper time he will present his
claims in person. In the meantime,
we ask your consideration thereof,
and then your support.

OPINION OF LE-
ROY VALIANT
ON THE BLACK BAYOU CUES
TION - BELIEVES THE LAW
SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT
CITES SIMILAR CASE.

The following letter from Judge
Leroy Valiant. former distinguish
ed citizen of this county. but now of
ST. Louis. Mo, to Capt w w. Stone,
OF this city, we take pleasure in re-
producing, as 1t deals directly with
the Black Bayou question that comes
up before our people next Monday
tor discussion and settlement. The
letter shows what other States are
dong along the same line and the
benefits they are deriving from their
action. As a taxpayer of this district
Judge Valiant wants to see the bill
passed and the drainage opened. Fol-
lowing is his letter:
St Louis. Mo. May 23 1906.
Hon. w. w Stone.
Greenvlle Miss:
Dear Sir-I have read the letter Of
yourself, Mr. Paxton and Mr.. Spen-
Ger iii the Greenville Democrat, and l
am very sorry to see that opposition
has arisen i'll the county against the
drainage law. 1t is, in my opinion,
the best move that has been made in
county for many years.
A systematic, scientific drainage sys-
TEN will add more TO the wealth and
health Of Washington county than
anything else that could possibly be
done
See what a like system has done
for Missouri 1t has been but few
years since a vast region in southeast
Missouri was swamp and overlooked
lands" uninhabitable and untenable
You could have bought a hundred
thousand acres for ten cents an acre
Now that same land will sell readily
for from $40 To $50 per acre. and it
all has been brought about by just
such system of drainage as the law
you had passed seeks TO establish.
do hope that the gentlemen who
are opposing the measure will think
better of it. and that the scheme will
go through As you proposed.
Yours truly. /. b. Valiant.
p. 81 own about FIVE hundred
acres Of land in the district. and am
only too willing TO bear the tax for
the benefit that will come of it.

THE BLACK BAYOU DRAINAGE
QUESTION:.
w. H. Rucker, of Itta Bena, Gives
Reasons Why the Law Should
Be Enforced by Authoities.

1t surprises me to learn there IS
any serious opposition to the act for
the drainage of Black Bayou, and yet
| am not greatly surprised because
I know undertakings of great impor-
tance are often authorized by the
people to be most benefited, because
unknown
After our experience last year,
should think Delta farmers would be
convinced of the great Importance
of drainage It is undoubtedly the
greatest need of this fat county to
make it reliably productive and heal
thy | know men who refuse $I2s
per acre for land now which was
worthless and uninhabitable some
years ago, because of the opening ol
waterways and the making of artih-
cial canals in manner similar te
that proposed for Black Bayou. Any
one familiar with the CONVERSION oi
large areas of wet, marshy lands south
of Chicago into highly prosperou:
| farms, will know the value of thi.
movement in the Delta.
{ sincerely hope the people o
Washington county will not defea

little and will add millions to th'
value of their lands.
