Hon. Press Groves, member OF
the State Senate from Leake
County and a candidate for Rail
road Commissioner from this (tke
First district, was in Scooba Sat
urday and addressed a goodly
number of the voters in front OF
the Duke Mercantile Co.'s store.
The .gentleman's remarks were
forcible and plain, aud he showed
a. thorough knowledge of tn e
subjects he touched upon. We
believe he would be a safe man
for the position, and the voters
should carefully consider his
claims.

II. c. Morton.

In tho last issue of the HERALD
VIC added to- those already an
nounced in our columns as candi-
dates for County Treasurer, the
namc which forms the caption to
this article:
Mr.. Morton is n planter, aud a
man OF high character conscien
tious and just in his dealings
with his %fellowman; a man to
shank on" in an emergency. He
would make an official in whose
hands the %county's money would
be perfectly safe.
MI. Morton recognizes the fact
that any certain section OF the
county may have ~''favorite son"
as o candidate for the office to
which he aspires, and for whom
the voters of that section are apt
to cast their ballots; where such
conditions exist, his request is
that, in case the sald "~favorite
SON. should come up against 1.-THE
marble heart" at the first prima-
ry, you will consider his claims
carefully and kindly ere you
vote in the second one-should
he be so fortunate as to be in
same.
lie is a good man, and no MIS-
take will be made should he be
elected.

All statements to the contrary
Notwithstanding, John Sharp
Williams is today the foremost
Democrat of the South.
Mr.. Williems was first elected
to Congresa'in 1892, and during
his long term OF service there has
been no debate of consequence
upon anysmeasure in which he
did not engage e, and as defender
of the South he has no superior
in al the country. In every Ma
tional campaign since his first
election, Mr.. Williams has given
freely of his time and means, ten
dering his services to his party
and going into other States and
doing battle for his party at his
own expense, not even allowing
the campaign committee to pay
as much as his travelling expense.
There has not been a measure
passed by Congress beneficial in
any way to the Southland but
what John Sharp has aided and
abetted in its passage; the estab-
lishment by the National govern
ment of the rural free delivery
system was largely due to his ct
forts; aud IN the securing of ap
preparations tor pubic buildings
and the Improvement OF rivers in
his home State, his fine, Italian
hand" is plainly visible.
The effort to belittle the work
of such a man is puerile, and
should be rebuked by every voter
as an a~spersion on his intelli-
gence.

Upper Half Only Is Reaa.

did you ever think" said an old
printer, that we really notice only the
upper halves of the letters. The lower
halves are In many cases only the
stems, the remainders of ornamental
flourishes which have been gradually
reduced in size and length and are now
meaningless
Take, for instance, the heading of
paper. Cover up with a blank sheet
the lower half of the letters and even
if you did not know what they were
you would have no difficulty In reading
the words. Now reverse the process
and cover the upper half and If you
did not know the words 1t would be
impossible to make out the letters
This fact Is even more plainly seen in
the case of the Roman letters used for
headlines An l. might be mistaken
for an l, but nearly all the other let
ters are 50 plainly indicated by the
shape of the upper half that the lines
may he read without difficulty.

svnken Logs from the Mississippi.

Some 30 SJ1 'deadheads' aggregatag
l 100000 feet of lumber, have been
pulled out of the bay in the Mississippi
river short distance above this city.
The method employed in raising the
''deadheads," which are waterlogged
with but one end floating. is as follows:
Part Of the crew approaches the dead
head in a bateau. and reach down with
their pickpoles and catch the sunken
end with the spur on the pole, and bring
this end to the surface. An iron spike
is then driven into the sunken end of
the log and a stout rope attached. When
several logs have been harnessed in
this fashion the ropes are brought to
the shore and horses hitched to them.
The tension on the ropes is sufficient to
raise the sunken end of the log and the
''deadheads" are floated to shore, where
they are skidded up to the bank and left
to dry.
\ large log jam formed in this bay a
few years ago and backed up the river
two or three miles and as a consequence
there are thousands of the "deadheads. "
The whole river for four or five miles
north of the city is vcritable mine and
the number of logs taken out last sum
mer is only a small portion of those
there.-Little Falls Cor. Minneapolis
