meut

Our yigilant and energetic repre-
sentative in Congress, Hon. T.. ;.
Gambler, Jr., will arrive and fill his
appointment in Aberdeen next
Tuesday He is to be accompanied
by experts from the departments of
Plant Industry, Soils, Public Roads
and Forest Reserve, all Of whom
viii speak on their respective
themes, and the people of Monroe
county should turn out largely to
hear them. Mr. Gambler is devoting
his whole vacation between sessions
Of Congress to this campaign Of
education in the interest of the agri-
culturists Of his district, and has
enlisted the cooperation of the
+ general government TO the extent
/ Of securing the experts that accom-
pany him, in order that the great
possible benefits may accrue. No
other district, in the State, as far as
our information extends, is so high
/ ly favored, and our farming friends
have a rare opportunity to meet
these gentlemen, eminent in their
lines and professions, hear their adj
dresses, advice and experiences, and
thus gain information that will be
valuable in their after lives. Mr..
Gambler is doing a great work for
his constituents. His energy knows
no bounds and deserves the appre-
citation of those for whose benefit it
is expended. We hope to see a court
house well filled by our friends
from the country as we'll as from
the city.
Following is the report from his
first appointment, at Iuka, Mon
day:
Iuka, Miss, Sept. 3.-Hon. E.
5. Gambler, ir., with his corps of
government experts from the agri-
cultural department at Washington
arrived here yesterday and began
his industrial campaign through his
district. The people turned out EN-
masse" and packed the courthouse,
and judging from the frequent APP
plause and evidences of approval
they were delighted. This being
Mr.. Candler's old home, practically
all the business houses closed up
and permitted everybody to attend
the speaking. This is a great cam
paign for the First district in Mis-
sissippi and the people throughout
the district are to be congratulated
upon having an opportunity to hear
these distinguished men.

New YORK Cotton Exchange.

Congressman Livingston, of Geor-
gia, who in the last congress insti-
tuted the movement for an investi-
CATION into the methods of the New
York cotton exchange, is quoted as
saying in an interview a few days
ago;
Wall street. SO far as its cotton
exchange is concerned, will soon be
a think of the past 1t is going
out of business before it is put out.
The report of the findings of the
beareau of corporations will soon be
ready for president Roosevelt.
Every charge | made of unnatural
practices win be substantiated by
the report of the investigation.
THE cotton exchange is doomed.
Not only viii the national govern
ment go after it. but the States are
taking hand in the matter, and
can say that the practice of trading
in cotton from the purely specula-
tive stock gambling standpoint will
soon be at an end.

Right=Of-Way for the Memphis
s. Pensacola K. K.

Our former fellow citizen, Mr..
John T. Savage. now president of
the Jackson Business League, was
in Aberdeen Saturday Discussing
the matter of right-of-way for the
Aberdeen and Columb bus division of
the Memphis Il Pensacola railroad,
through the country district of
Monroe county, he stated that he
would make an absolutely free do
nation of every foot of ground on
his premises needed for the purpose,
and the route traverses two miles of
his lands. He realizes the great
value of railroad communication to
the country districts and that every
acre of adjacent real estate will be
immensely enhanced in price. 9th
er land owners in that part of the
county would display a progressive
spirit by emulating the action of
Mr.. Savage.
