peanuts, Thomas ]. Allen, president
of the Aurora College, will today begin
10 live on a diet of peanuts for sixty

An Aurora man recently became i'll

Allen, and he called upon DR., Guyer
and made his, offer of a sixty-day ex-

BALLOON RACE ON.
Americans May Beat Record in Inter
national Contest.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1S.-The international
balloon race for the James Gordon Ben
nett cup was started here last night.
A message dropped from the United
States Signal Corps balloon No. 10, by
Aeronauts James Mccoy and Captain
Charles Def. Chandler, and telegraphed
ITO the Associated Press at Chicago from
Leesburg, O., by the finder, shows that
the balloon in eleven hours and fifty min
utes covered a distance measuring $50
miles on a straight line.
The International record established by
lieutenant Lahm last year in Europe. was
402 miles on a straight line, winning for
him the James Gordon Bennett cup. He
at once. offered a cup himself to the
%aeronaut beating his record.
The message from Aeronauts Mccoy
and Chandler states that at the time OF
dropping the message they were travelling
fast southeast. Therefore it is considered
possible they may beat the record estabz-
lished by Lieutenant Lahm.

THE COUNTY ENGINEER

Mr.. Z. c. Lampkin, the very eff
cient surveyor of this county, has an
nounced his candidacy for reelection,
and in pamphlet calls attention to
not only the Importance of the office
and its work, but he makes a number
OF practical suggestions which, if en-
acted into law, would be of immeas-
urab,e benefit to the people
The development in the South, the
enhancement in the value of timber
and farm lands, the increasing sales
Of these lands, are rapidly increasing
the work and Importance of the coun-
~ surveyors office. And with this
development comes the necessity of
placing the Office upon a practical,
business, working basis, so that the
interests of the county and the peo-
pie may be preserved and protected
the past few years conditions have
developed which not only require
remedying, but which imperatively
demand that legislative relief be had
in the premises.
In Mr.. Lampkin's timely contribu-
ton TO the Importance of this neg
lected subject, he takes the position
that the Office should be salaried
one, paid by salary, or part salary
and fees of a uniform scale for all
tracts of land surveyed. In addition
to this he favors the keeping of clear
record upon every survey made in an
Office and ir books for that purpose,
showing the survey and the condi
tions encountered, and would have
some legislation which would pre-
serve the old land marks He calls
attention to the cutting of the tim Der
in the South and the loss of tree
marks, and makes a strong plea for
the preservation of these trees with
other marks, and suggests that the
time of the county engineer, when
not engaged in the field, could be
profitabIy employed in making grades
for roads and crossings, preparing
bridge specifications, the laying out
of drains, etc.
Mr.. Lampkin's pamphlet is timely
and interesting, and 1t is hoped that
as a result of his agitation of the
subject that the next legislature will
give it some attention and adopt a
system which will meet the demands
and conditions of the State at the
present time.

Z II CIRRIE

The Dispatch is authorized to an
nounce the Hon j. H. Currie, or
kemper county, as a candidate for
the position of district attorney of
this, the Tenth, judicial district, sub
iect to the action of the Democratic
party in the approaching primaries.
Mr.. Currie's announcement is equiv
alent to an election, for it is doubtful
if there is a man in the district who
has the temerity to oppose him.
While We are new in the Tenth
district and not well versed in its
political affairs. il is proper TO state
that no man within its confines stands
higher in the confidence and esteem
of its citizens than does Mr.. Currie.
And he has earned this confidence
and good will by an absolutely fear
less administration of the affairs Of
his Office in the face Of conditions
which would have embarrassed a less
fOrceful and reso1ute man. The Tenth
district is now one Of the most law
abiding sections in the State, and this
healthful and wholesome condition is
largely due to him. This is his first
appearance before the people of this
county as a candidate. and his record
here insures him their unreserved

Xardamnn nj Pontotoc.

Pontotoc. Miss, June 3, 1907.
Governor Vardaman spoke at Pom
totoc today to one Of the largest po-
litica1 gatherings ever assembled at
Pontotoc. The crowd was variously
estimated at from two thousand to
five thousand people. At an early
hour IL became evident that the court
house would not begin to hold the
crowd, and the Vardaman men had
carpenters erect stage in the court
house yard, from which Governor
Vardaman addressed the people. II
was a grand ovation that greeted the
governor on his arrival at the speak
er'S stand, and by ten O'Clock, the
hour appointed for speaking, the
court yard and street adjoining were
crowded with those who had come
to hear him speak. He spoke two and
quarter hours TO a very attentive
audience, who were forced to stand
for want of seats. This was a per-
feet day for the occasion; the ground
being too wet for work, the farmers
took the day to hear Vardaman speak
and that the speech was enthusiastic
ally received was testified to by the
punctures of applause that greeted
it, and the patient and close atten-
tfon given the governor. The enthu-
siastfc reception of Vardaman today
makes it an evident fact that he will
safely carry Pontotoc county by an
Overwhelming majority, and that the
mass of the people in this county is
In hearty accord with the governors
repeal OF the fifteenth amendment is
Enthusiastically shown.
One of the feaures of the day was
the free distribution of a large pict-
ure of Governor Vardaman, printed
on heavy card board, and hundreds
of the people were seen carrying the
pictures home, many having framed
them for their homes.
If Governor Vardaman's receptions
in the other counties are anything
like as enthusiastic as that shown
him in this county, he need have no
fear of the result of the August pri-
mary.

- THE =--
GOVERNORS CAMPAIGN
THE
yardaman Pleased With Tour.


Aberdeen, Miss, June Jas. K
yardaman has just closed a brilliant
campaign in East Mississippi, com
mencing at Columbus and proceeding
up the Tombigbee river valley, most
ly at interior points, and received an
ovation wherever he appeared.
The last speech was at Smithville.
village in Monroe county. where he
was enthusiastically received by an
audience of four hundred people. At
Amory Thursday afternoon he was
delayed one hour in arriving, but
an audience of one thousand remain
ed in waiting in and about the opera
house. He was introduced by Hon
Claude Clayton, who had formerly
held anti-Vardaman views on the fif-
teenth amendment question. and his
speech of two hours or more was re-
ceived with rounds of applause.
At Wren. voting precinct in the
northern portion of Monroe county,
at eleven O'Clock a. m. on Thursday,
two hundred and fifty voters were
present and heard his speech with
great interest.
At Aberdeen "Wednesday night the
opera house was crowded beyond its
capacity, and there he was introduced
by Or. George p. Hamilton, another
gentleman who had not previously
been in accord with the governors
amendment plank. The audience was
enthusiastic in its approval of his
two-hours' speech, as was demon
strated by outbursts of applause.
At Hamilton, i'm the valley between
Aberdeen and Columbus. an immense
turnout of voters attended his ap-
pointment and gave him undivided
attention and applause Of approval.
His whole itinerary through Mon
roe county was of the most encourag-
ing character and highly satisfactory
to himself and friends At all of
these appointments he discussed the
tariff, imperialism, the repeal Of the
fifteenth amendment, the railroad
subject, on which he declared in fav-
or of private ownership and govern
ment regulation, and justified his adj
ministration as governor.

Washington in the last State senate.
Mr.. Paxton is making an aggressive
campaign, and is urging Mr.. Hebron
to give up his position as president
of the levee board or the State sena-
torship, saying that the duties of the
two conflict and that he cannot serve
the people of his district in both
places. Mr.. Paxton is a man of force

DID THE WORK IN ALABAMA

Our friends, the enemy, are very
fond of saying that the race question
is the flag to wave in the face of the
bull to solidify Caucasian sentiment
and sympathy. This is in the politi-
cal game, but it is worthy to note that
Il is equally effective in fraternal cir
cles. The recent session of the Odd
State, Alabama, had to deal with the
question of locating the orphans
home in that jurisdiction, and when
all the other arguments had failed,
all other reasons had been resorted
to, the Cullman brothers, in good
hefty voice raised the good old-fash-
ioned hymn 'Blest Be the Tie That
Binds and substituted the follow
ing words:
There are no negroes there,
There1l be no negroes there,
In Cullman alone:
o, build the home:
There1l be no negroes therei
Upon the orphans home
We pour the ardent prayers
OF people white-yes, every one,
And far from negro snares.
Well share our orphans woes
And all their burdens bear,
And widows too-give them a home
That has no negroes near.
When we from earth must go,
Their griefs no more to share,
Twill soothe our dying pain to know
We leave our orphans there.
There, from danger, grief and blight
And shame, they shall be free;
There every face they see is white
And filled with sympathy.
An exchange says it did the work.
The wavering brothers lined up, the
doubtful ones came out strong, and
Cullman won.
