THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.

Where do the candidates for Gov
ernor come from? Mr.. Noel lives in
Holmes County, sixty miles north of
the A. & v. Railroad. Mr.. Thomas
lives in Washington County, eighty
miles north of the A. C v. Railroad.
Mr.. Sisson lives in Montgomery Coun-
ty, one hundred miles north of the
A. & ". Railroad. Mr.. Scott lives in
Bolivar County, 100 miles north of the
A. & v. Railroad. Mr.. Brewer lives
in Coahoma County, 1876 miles north
of the A. & v. Railroad. All OF these
are in North Mississippi, and the
di2tances are counted as the crow
frs. and along lines of latitude; and
not along the longer lines of human
travel
Judge Truly alone lives in South
Mississippi, in Jefferson County, forty
miles south of the A. & v. Railroad,
counted in the same way. There are
only two counties between him and
the Louisiana state line. He lives ex-
actly west of Laurel, Waynesboro and
Wesson. And yet some folks make
it appear that he is not the candidate
from South Mississippi, for no better
reason than that Jefferson borders on
the Mississippi, and some folks would
make 1t appear that Jefferson County
is in the Delta, although Claiborne
County and part of Warren County,
lie to the north of jefferson without
being in the Delta. Great is the logic
of politics, when seen through par
tisan glasses.
But it is not the residence Of Judge
Truly that most especially commends
him to the SURFACES of South Missis-
sippians. He stands for what South
Mississippi wants, namely:
Equalization of taxes.
Just representation in the legisla-
ture.
Such a distribution of the school
funds as will not educate the negro
children, and deprive the white child
rem Of an education.
The question is up to South Missis-
sippians, suffering from unjust legis-
lation, largely the outgrowth of
changed conditions. VIII they be most
likely to derive substantial assistance
from Governor from their own sec

from Governor from another section.

Election Returns.

The Daily News has made extensive
Preparations for compiling the election
returns tomorrow night. In addition
10 the regular report of the United
Press Associations, special arrange
ments have been made with the West
ern Union Telegraph Company to use
the wixes to all points reached by its
'ifees in M.vsissippi. These reports
will be augmented by the report of our
regular correspondent in Jackson and
he secretaries Of the senatorial cam
|faien committees.
On account of the crowded condition
Of the Daily News office, arrangements
have been made with the Auditorium
Electric Theater to fash the bulletins
on the curtains as fast as the informa-
ton is received.
This will be the first time in the his
tory of Mississippi that election re-
turns have been flashed by electric cur
rent, and 1t marks new epoch in the
evolution of Mississippi journalism.

Democratic primaries will occur
throughout Mississippi tomorrow to
select nominees for United States
Senator, Governor and the other elect
i've OFFICES, together with numerous
county and beat officials
This event-this bloodless battle
with the white-winged ballot-takes
place only once in four years, and 1t
consequently regarded as scarcely
less than an epoch in the govern
mental affairs of the state.
Mississippi ranks high among the
commonwealths of the nation in the in
telligence and patriotism of its peo-
ple-its citizen kings-who have al
ways chosen wisely and well.
Tomorrow's verdict will not lower
that high standard. set by our faith
ers and so well maintained by the cit
izenship Of the present generation.
Each voter will express at the polls
his personal choice, and the issues in
volved between certain aspirants for
exalted leadership will no doubt re-
ceive that mead of earnest considera-
ton which they unquestionably de-
serve.
The Daily News has taken no part in
the discussion, further than to reflect
those matters which may be properly
regarded as news, such as all faith
chroniclers of public events are
compelled to do.
This does not mean. however. that
(he men behind the paper will not
express their preferences at the polls.

should prevent the exercise of right

Total assessment .$6.9S7.1

Total assessment ..$6,9S7,171
THESE figures show phenomenal
yet not an artificial growth. There is
no climbing up to the sky one year to
descend to the lower regions in the
next. An analysis shows that it is
simply accumulative. In five years
from 1899, the assessed value of the
personally exceeds the total assess
ment of the former year. In the same
time the total assessed value has in
creased by almost $50 per cent In
the two years following. 1904 and 1906,
1t doubles again, and last year, 1906, 1t
is more than eight times what it was
seven years before, in other words the
assessed property has increased 800
per cent.
There is no doubt that other cities
in the United States may show a
heavy increase in values, but the
Magic City has pushed on at steady
gait, developing in a natural manner.
Consequently 1t need fear no reaction,
no har dtimes. 1t is impossible to ex-
haust our resources, because every
year reveals new and fresh sources of
wealth. 1t has been said, not without
reason, that the South did not know
its own wealth, and we have cause to
be thankful that their revelation
comes gradually. AS we know them
now, they are attracting strangers who
make their home among us and help
materially in further exploitation. A
sudden revelation would have brought
us large influx of both desirable and
undesirable citizens; it would have
caused spasmodic growth followed
by sudden reaction; fortunes would
have been made by few, where hun
dreds would have been ruined. Bet
ter by far as it is now.
We have positive and undeniable
proof that Hattiesburg is a good in
vestment, a proof so solid that we
should submit it to our friends in other
states. Let them share our progress
and prosperity by helping us to
achieve it. BY doing SO we shall help
them and secure valuable assistance
for ourselves. u

purporting to be from me, with my

also insure him Of good support here

1t seems that the purpose of this
letter is to try to convey the idea
that Mr.. West will not get the support
OF his home people; such is not true.

correcting a political trick, in which
