as a candidate fol- Inc office OF Ius-
tice of the Peace, District No. 3. Of
Washington county, subject to the

It seems that ali enterprises neeo
competition to hold down prices and
protect the people

The Washington county voters arc
in practice, having just passed
through a county election, and speak
ing or anything else will not change
their vote now

The city of Greenville needs a
Booster Club, and to make good
and active president of such an or
ganization we suggest the name OF
Mr.. Joe Weinberg, man who will
take an earnest interest in it.

James K. Vardaman is the cham
pion Of that class Of Southerners who
believe the negro was placed here by
God to be the servant and not the
equal Of the white man, and they OK
pect to keep up their just fight until

ton

The Times is FULLY in accord with
the movement of the progressive
union of New Orleans to hold a mon
ster exposition in 1915 to celebrate
the complexion of the Panama Canal
It will result in great benefit to Mis-
sissippii. the sister state of Louisiana,
and should contribute its full part
to make the exposition the grande5t
ever witnessed.

The Times favors the city Owner
ship Of public facilities. and will start
TO work from this issue to advocate
this change in every paper published
The p per cent. raise made by the
electric light people causes this &C
ton, and we believe that municipal
ownership of these facilities will
solve the problem
-25OOO IN 191o-
Don't YOU think, Mr. Electric Light
Co. that a raise of IS per cent. on
your. rates right at the jump without
giving the people notice you were
going to make it, will cause a kick
among your patrons? And what cost
" investment in Improvements have
YOU made and what material has adj
vanced so much that justihes such
raise2
While the editor of The Tines
does not endorse the action of tie
board OF levee commissioners Who
favor the collection Of the back ta.>
on cotton. still. in justice to them. i
desires to say that they did it because
they believed il was right. just and
fair. The very TACT that every eom-
missioner IS a planter and a cotton
raiser and will have to pay this ex-
ira tax along with the other planter
of the district it the law is enforced
proves the truth Of this statement.

The laps seem to have been So en-
thased in running the Russian
Bear into his hole that they
arc now wanting to pluck
tbs tal feathers OF the American
Eagle. Uncle Sam shows that he IS
rot asleep by sending a few OF IA
big life destroyers over into the Paci-
fic. Other nations have found out
the cost of monkey-ng with the Ann
e1;can Eagle and before the Jap
make that eagle scream they had bet
ter ask the advice of those who have
fell her talons before they go airy
further

ton eounty's noble son, for the Cover

wees by casting their vote for him.
