JORDAN AT LOTHIAN
ADDRESSES LARGE GATEERING or FARMER9. THERE.
Told Farpers tc Use More Brain With
 Their Museie--Now ts
 Time to stand Together.

Dcthan. Nov. 3o.--(speciai )--Harvie ton Association. addressed q large aus dience at the Court House here today. Representative business men and farmers listened attentively to the logic and sound business reasons why the farmers and business men of the South should stand together and de. naand q fair and reasonable price for the product of their labor. He said that for forty yeears more muscle had been used than brain power in the making and marketing of cotton.
 As an illustration he told of a far mer friend whom he was lecturing for not cooperating. This farmer argued he was independent, rubbed the muscle of his arms and told him. God gave me these arms to support my family. and by His grace have used them.
 To this Mir. Jordan replied: Yes. and if God had put a premium on mus cle. your old gray horse would have hitched you to the buggy and drove you here today. because he Is ten times more muscular than you" He strong ly advocated the building of ware houses for storage. and theSfmportant question of gin congresses.
 To support and defy argument on the I5 cents price. he said. when we sold our cotton for cents per pound, the mills sold print cloths or calicoes to jobbers at cents per yard. One pound of cotton makes seven yards of prints. bringing to them 21 cents per pound. or a margin of gross profit of I15 cents. Today prints fetch cents per yard. or 35 cssts per pound of cot ton and were they to pay us IS cents they still have a gross margin of 20 cents per pound" He argued this yielded enormous profits to the mills. and cited many other reasonable facts was instructive and highly apprecf- ated. He left on the afternoon train for Ozark. where he speaks tomorrow.

THE PRIVATE TAYLOR RUCK'S
CHAPTER, GREENVILLE,
MISSISSIPPI

Private Taylor Ruck's Chapter OF
Greenville, Mississippi, was organized
in this city in June, 1905, twelve
members signing the charter. The
number of Daughters of the Con
federacy' belonging to it now is
twentyfour; new applications have
been already received whose appli-
cants, when their papers are filed, will
swell the list to nearly fifty, and as
the zeal in u. D. c. work is each
day growing and spreading, the love
for "our lost tho just cause" is each
day made stronger, and each day the
part in the events of her ,Country'5
life. which step by step led to the
@irrepressible conflict of IS6I-65," put
tnnthfu11y to the world, and as to
that dear task the heart and brain
of all the Daughters from over the
whole country, from California to the
Gulf of Mexico, is hard at work, we
feel confident the membership of our
Chapter will reach a great and en-
thusiastic number.
OF intense interest to us was Sc
lecting from so many brave and noble
names presented the one we would
give to our organization Our choice
was a triumph-we gave our Chapter

SUMMER RECREATION

Summer days will soon be here,
and, as everyone knows, it is a long
dbl season for those who are COM
PEELED to remain in the city, and
some plan should be adopted and
acted upon now to furnish the great
majority, those who have to remain
here, with some kind Of recreation
during this soon coming hot spell.
One of the greatest needs of the
city is park and the next thing is
some form of amusement to attract
our people to this park when it has
been established, ard opened for the
benefit of the public
1t is needless to go into a lengthy
argument about the benefit to hu-
mainly a park IS Every intelligent
reader knows what a beautiful and
attractive park IS worth to them, and
EVERY. CITIZEN. OF. GREEN
VILE IS VERY ANXIOUS FOR
A PARK TO BE OPENED.
At the next regular meeting Of the
City Council, city (park will be pro-
posed and it is to be hoped that our
city dads will act in harmony and
give rls park right away
The Greenville Band has been re-
| organized and will give two or three
concerts a week, one on Sunday af-
ternoon5 land the other two at set
nights The band boys are willing
to devote their time to the pleasure
of the public, but it costs money to
keep the Reorganization together, to
pdrchase instruments, music racks,
uniforms and music and pay the di-
rector, and it is earnestly hoped that
our City Council and Our merchants
will contribute to the support of the
! band
The band now numbers some eigh-
teen musicians, the greater number of
whom are old players and it will take
but a few weeks of practicing to put
them in fine order and furnish excel
lent and high class music.
| Just think this matter over Give
| it few minutes serious thought and
consideration and you will surely add
your small contributions willingly
Think of the pleasure you will enjoy
in taking your wife or sweetheart to
| the park to listen to delightful music;
think of the pleasure you get out OF
it, even if you don't enjoy music, and
you are very small citizen, indeed
if you don't help this good cause
along.
Talk over the park movement with
your Aldermen when you meet them
on the street Create a great big
sentiment in favor of the park ans
we'll get it. and then help the band
boys along. A park without band
Twill be cry unlively affair

DOG TAX LAW

During the present year petitions
Will be placed in circulation among
the farmers. in every county in the
State urging the Governor to recon-
comend to the Legislature the enact
nent of a dog tax law.
This is the elimination of a lively
discussion that has been under way
in the columns of the State Press
for more than a year and many opin-
ions have been expressed both pro
and con. The majority of sentiment,
however, is that Mississippi shohld
have dog tax, principally for the
purpose of getting rid of the worth
less ours and giving the farmers a
chance to grow sheep ann other small
forms of live stock.
The dog tax promises to become a
very lively issue in the State cam
paign, especially among candidates
for Legislature. A few years ago the
proposal OF such law in the Legis-
lature would have almost provoked a
|
makers have fought shy of the sub
ject, brit since some OF the farmers
have taken the initiative, it begins to
look like there is some prospect for
the enactment of statute on the sub
! ject
The blank petitions will be dis
| tributed III every county in the State
within the next few days from the
office of the Southern Farm Gazette,
and placed in the hands of farmers
who will endeavor to secure as many
/ petitions as possible. The petitions
will then be collected and toward the
/ close of the year presented to outgo-
ing and incoming Governor in order
that they may mention the subject
matter on their Legislative message
Magnolia Gazette.
The dog tax is the right thing al
the right time. A dogc census TAX
| en- in Greenville today would show
almost as many dogs as people, the
majority of which are fit for moth
ing but an IggorrSte meal
There are valuable and useful dogs

thing that will remove, as their own

On the 18th of January Congress
man John Sharp Williams gave out
an interview from Washington in
which he severely attacked Gov Jas.
K. Vardanan on several of his plat
form planks, namely, the race ques-
ton, Government ownership and the
fhpeal of the Fifteenth Amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States.
It looked as though Vardaman
was forever condemned to a political
nonenity by those who are not ac-
quainted with the Governor or his
position ii this senatorial race. Var
daman was some time in answering
Williams attack, and, owing to Off
cial business in penitentiary affairs.
/, did not reply until last Monday. when
in lengthy but very interesting in
terview he paid his respects to VIII
liams right from the shoulder
The Governors interview IS too
lengthy for space ii The Times tins
week. which we deeply regret. But
/ it was published in the leading dailies
and all the voters ii Mississippi have
no doubt read it
There is only one conclusion to
arrive at after reading Gov. Varda-
mans reply, and that IS that he holds
the winning hand In every particu-
lar he replies TO Mr.. Williams at
tack and clearly states his position
There is not a white man in Missis-
+ sippi but who deep down in his heart
believes as Gov Vardaman does or
the race question and the repeal Of
the Fifteenth Amendment and his
plans to bring about this repeal finds
favor with everyone.
Gov Vardaman will not wait foi
the opportunity to come but will en-
deavor to make the opportunity fo1
its repeal. In the Government own
ership question the Governors stan6
| is clearly logical. He does not take
up any question, and especially ques
tons of national import, in a hit or
miss manner, but studies thoroughly
every phase and after careful though
reaches his convictions.
The Governor has given Mississippi
a verv able administration. He ha
had difficult problems to solve, Blu
has come through the grind, serving
the people of the commonwealth
faithfully, and has never yet beer
found guilty of any act of fraud o
corruption.
