isfed. One man is struggling to
get justice, and another is flying
from it. One man is saving to
buy a house and another is trying
hard to sell his dwelling for less
than it costs to get rid of it.
One man is spending all the
money he can earn in taking a
girl to a theatre or show or send
ing her valuable presents in hopes
that he may eventually make her
his wife, and his neighbor is
spending all the gold he has saw
ed in trying to get a divorce.
One man keeps a pistol to pro-
tect himself against burglars,
while his neighbor dosen't keep
one for fear of shooting himself
or some member of the family.
One man pays for his paper in
advance because he can read it
with greater relish, while an
other takes it four or five years
without paying one cent for it,
and enjoys it hugely all the
while. After all a queer old
world is this. Elk.

What is Cottonwood going to
do about that much needed water
system? Now that it has been
shown that the town cannot
put in a system of it's own and
no company is jumping in to
grab up a franchise will the
citizens lay supinely back and
wait until the town burns up or
someone puts in a system several
years hence. We hope not. If
what we want cannot be had
without work we must work,
and if a system cannot be secur-
ed under present conditions we
must alter those conditions.
Either bond the town to raise a
bonus to induce some company
to put in a system or let the
citizens raise the bonus among
themselves. There is too much
valuable property here to run
risks of having it destroyed by
fire and as water system must
be had sooner of later we can see
no reason for putting it off any
longer than necessary. 1t is not
because the citizens do not want
it but because they have fallen
into the habit of resting easy and
waiting for someone else to take
up the work and push it to COM
pletion. This is no way to do.
Each one will be benefited by
the protection afforded and
should do his part to get the
system installed. The saving in
insurance and safety to property
will more than pay each mans
share of the money to be raised
and the increase in property
values will more than offset the
extra taxes and other expenses.
If it is question of keeping the
town out of debt that should not
be considered at all. There is
not an incorporated town in the
country but what is we'll in debt
and the ones carrying the heavi-
est debt are the most progress
sive. AS fast as one debt is
paid another is incurred to make
greater Improvements and so il
goes until the end of time. The
question with us now is to Sc
cure a water system in the short
est possible time and when it is
once had the questions arising
from it will be capably handled
and solved when they confront
us. It will be necessary, how
ever, for all of us to work to-
gether if we wish to secure city
water and unless we do anC
work hard we will still be with
out water ten years hence. L
we have no faith in our tow
and do not try to build it up as i
should be others certainly will no
do it for us but instead of locat
ing here will settle in some of tn
smaller adjoining towns wher
enterprise and growth go han,
in hand. We are not handicap
ped by having any great Difficult
ties to surmount and if we ALLOW
our own istlessness to stand il
the way of our progress we ca
blame no one but ourselves 70
the failure we are sure to NEE
if we do not take a more activ
interest in the upbuilding of on
city.

PETITION FOR PARDON
State Of Mississippi
Second District
Chickasaw County
To His Excellency
Jas. K. Vardaman,
Governor Of Mississippi
State Of Mississippi I
Second Dislric

Your petitioners, resident white citi-
zens Of Chickasaw county, Mississippi
would RESPECTFULLY show unto your ex-
cellency as follows, towit:
That Robert Foster, a negro, was
convicted in the circuit court oEltbe
second district Of Chickasaw county.
Mississippi, Of burglary and larceny at
the October ternl towit on the 18th Of
October, 1906 in the Circuit Court Of
said District county or state, and b.
said district court sentenced to the
state pententiary for seven years.
That they have known the said
Robert Foster for several years. and
have known him to be truthful and
honest; that he was reared BY Mr.. G.
E. Glidewell, a prominent planter liv-
ing near Okolona, Mississippi who
stands ready to give him a good repu-
tation for honesty and truthfulness. and
we verify believe that there was a
mistake in the identity Of Robert Fos-
ter being the person who committed
the burglary for which he was convic-
ted; and we the jurors, who sat on the
trial OF his case, now since learning
what We have, have serious doubts in
our minds as to his being the person
who committed the burglary as afore-
said, and knowing him as we do, Of
the good character and reputation
which he has always sustained, being
a negro that always was obedient po-
lite and humble to the white citizenship
OF the country, never having before
been arraigned in court on any charge
or for any trial, we have grave doubts
in our minds as to his commission Of
the oiense of which he stands convic-
ted, and we therefore most earnestly
recommend executive clemency in his
behalf, and as in duty bound. your be-
htoners will ever pray.
