Hon. Leroy T. Taylor.

The TupeIo Journal thus endorses
Hon Leroy T. Taylor for Trustee
The official count by the State
Executive Committee at Jackson
gave to Hon. Leroy T. Taylor q, -
734 votes for trustee Of the State
penitentiary from the northern dis
trict, being only 325 votes short Of
the nomination and leading his
nearest competitor by about 5000
votes In the second primary we
predict that his many friends will
stand by him like a stone wall and
nominate him by an overwhelming
majority.
Mr.. Taylor is one Of Lee coun-
ty's favorite sons and the evidence
Of his popularity among the people
with whom and for whom he has
spent so many years of his life is
shown by the large vote cast for him
in Lee county in the first primary
he having received 2118 votes. This
is the highesu vote cast for any can
didate for any office in any county
in the State As a boy, he made a
gallant Confederate soldier. He
represented this senatorial district
in the State senate from 1900 to
1904 with honor to the people who
elected him and credit to himself.
In choosing an official to take
charge of the responsible position to
which he aspires the district could
make no mistake in selecting Mr.
Taylor. His record and character
as a business man and citizen fully
iustifies US in unqualifedly endors-
ing him for the place.

Card from Mr.. Sisson.

Winona Miss, August 8, 1907.
The following statement was given
out by Hon. T. L. Sisson this morn
ing:
ITO my twenty-one thousand loyal
friends who stood by me in my race
for Governor, / extend, through this
medium, my heartfelt and grateful
thanks. They made a good fight, and
in my defeat I have no regret so great
as that I am conscious that my friends
must share it with me. 1t was not
their fault that did not win, but my
own. If I had done as weH as my
friends we would have won this fight.
To them / owe a debt of gratitude
that I can never pay. Their support
was without money and without price.
| made no promises of any office
purchased no newspapers. I hired no
emissary to travel and work for me.
I slandered no opponent. We made
a clean fight and delivered no blow
below the belt.
''To those of my fellow-citizens
that voted against me / have no word
of censure or criticism. In the exer-
else Of their sovereign choice they
have acted perhaps wisely. We all
trust so. Let us all hope that of
the two distinguished Mississippians
left in the second primary that the
choice of our people between the two
may be wise, and which ever of the
two IS elected that it may rebound
to the honor, glory and welfare of our
great and growing State
II shall take no part in this race
between my two distinguished op-
ponents, because / think it would be
exceedingly unbecoming in me to do
so. | shall not try to influence a vote
one way or the other. After the
smoke of battle shall have cleared
away let every Mississippian bury any
animosity occasioned by the conflict.
and all put our shoulders to the
wheel and work for the honor and
prosperity of Mississippi

New Orleans Picas nne


The month Of August Is generally
in the growing season as far as the
cotton crop Is concerned. 1t Is the
month of the highest temperature,
and where the rainfall Is deficient,
the crop undergoes rapid deteriora-
ton. This year, owing TO the back
wardness of the crop and the low Vi
tality which the plant has shown dur
ing the whole growing period to date,
the hot spells of August have been
looked forward to with more than the
usual apprehension.
The past week has been a period of
unbroken high temperature and in
sufficient rain ranging from timely
showers in the eastern belt To INSULT
cient moisture in the central belt and
no rain at all west of the Mississippi
river. In Texas the dry spell has as
sumed the character of a Verltable
drouth. the effect of which has been
aggravated by the very high temper
ature recorded from the Lone Star
State The cotton crop has COM
menced to show the effects of this
combination of adverse conditions, As
II has ceased TO grow and Is shedding
with bOlls opening prematurely.
Elsewhere than in Texas the crop
has made good progress, although to-
ward the end of the week there was
complaint of the drouth spreading to
Arkansas and even to north Louisiana.
In no portion of the cotton belt is the
crop reported as up to the average
condition OF last season for this date,
while in Texas there has apparently
been deterioration. While many claim
that the situation in Texas is beyond
repair, conservative opinion does not
hold that view, and good rains would
in all probability work a wonderful
change in a short time.
Even accepting the best reports as
to the progress being made by the
crop in the belt generally, the plant
is so far behind in size and maturity
for this time of the season that a late
frost is now accepted as an absolute
necessity if a fairly full crop is to be
harvested.
While the corn crop prospects have
improved, the outlook for a full yield
in this section is not compromising
The crop is a. best very spotted and
the South viii probably not produce
nearly enough for home consumption.

Senator Noel has issued an adj
dress to the voters of Mississippi
urging his interests in the second
primary for Governor, and devotes
much of it to a statement that the
McLaurin element is fighting his
election. He charges that faction
with alliance with Mr.. Brewer and
says it explains the large vote that
Mr.. Brewer received two weeks ago.
The history Of State politics since
the MeLaurins have been on the
stage shows that they have been
beaten in few instances, if in any al
all, and Mr.. Noel's apprehension in
this case is well founded, if his pre-
mise Is correct.

The cotton crop looks better. The
improvement during the past few
weeks has been marked. There are
fields of cotton in the Delta, with a
late frost, that will produce a good
crop; there are other fields that will
not produce even a half crop, how
ever favorable the season from now
until the crop is gathered. On the
whole, however, there is a prospect
of making a fair crop in this section
with good weather the remainder OF
the season. And with the splendid
price promised, business ought to
flourish during the coming winter.
