LET US PUSH ON!

With the appointment of Miss Pearl
Raimey to a position in his office as
clerk, County Assessor Gird has
placed the colored republicans of this
county in the most enviable position
that they have ever occupied. Four
representative positions in the county
employ are now held by colored peo-
pie, three clerkships and one under
sheriff. Pleasant things are easily
said, but Assessor Gird has done them
and we are pleased to pledge to him,
along with County Clerk Vickery,
Sheriff Nisbet and County Treasurer
Fine, the gratitude and support of
colored voters. 1t is marvellous what
a change has come to pass. Two
years ago, not a single one of these
positions was held and now, through
a clearer understanding, without any
friction or coercion, we have the four
In the fullest sense, it can be said
that the efforts of colored leaders to
secure proper recognition of the ser
vices of our voters to the republican
party, were met half way by the Off
cials. Judge Whitford, who is the
county chairman, more than any other
one person, was responsible for the
opportunity to make clear the posi-,
tion Of the colored voters. To him,
therefore, we extend our thanks. Right
here we wish to call attention to the
fact that his actions have been the
most conclusive evidence of his dis.
position toward us and we offer this
manifestation of desire to do the
fair thing as sufficient rebuttal to any
charges that may be made that he is
other than our friend.
1t has been said in these columns
that much of the restrictions to which
we were subjected in politics was due
to Frank Howbert We hasten to be
as free to give credit as we have been
to blame. Several months before the
campaign opened up, he said to the
editor of this paper that he favored
the appointment of four colored peo
pie to representative positions in the
county and named the very ones which
have since been given us. 1t is clear
to those who know the influence tina,
hs wields In republican politics that

for his interest is not enough. 1t may
be in the power of colored voters at
some time to do him a service. and il
it ever is, they owe it to his endea,

the interest that he has taken in us.

USES OF cHEESE-cL0TH.
1t Is Better Than Linen or Crash for Many
Objects.


Cheese-clOth should be more COM
monty used for household purposes
than it is. The material has the spe-
cial merit of being firm yet so loosely
woven that grease comes out readily
in washing, thus it is more easily
kept clean than linen or crash, for
which it may many times be substi-
tuted. An unbleached quality that
costs not more than five cents yard
is quite as good for general use as
more expensive fabrics.
The best kind of dishcloths are
made of it. The material should be
doubled, raw edges turned in and
stitched on the machine. This will
wear, and because it cleans so easily
is most sanitary for warm weather
in that it will not become saturated
and smell of grease. Rinsing in soap
and water will be all that is neces-
sary for cleansing.
For nice furniture it Is the best
kind of cloth for cleaning, and all
cabinet makers keep three sets for
work. The first is used for applying
the oil, the second to rub it off and
the third is the polisher. Similar
treatment for dining room tables will
keep them in the pink of condition.
Cheese cloth will save the daily use

One on Williams.

John Sharp Williams is busy with
his farm, and Governor Vardaman,
down in Mississippi - but a story
about him gets into print every few
days, nevertheless. The last one is
not new. but is good enough to be
repeated.
The time was number of years
ago, when Gar Reed was Speaker
of the House, and Williams was a
minority member in the ranks. The
Mississippian was walking through
the House lobby when he met the
big man from Maine, who stopped
him.
Williams" he said, what in the
world is it that makes you such an
intense partisan?
That's pretty good, coming from
you, Mr.. Speaker" replied Williams.
This reference to his own extreme
partisanship did not move Mr.. Reed.
Never mind me, he said. Why
are you such bitter partisan?"
Well, tell you," said Williams,
in that inimitable manner of his,
you know | never saw a Republican
until Iwas 39 years old, and somehow
or other, l just can't get used to
them"
Reed, according to the story,
looked at the Mississippian reproach-
fully, and walked away without u
word,

THE farmers should never forget
that he is an important factor in
society. 1t is his duty to be a good
citizen and to help manage the affairs
of his country. In public affairs he
should remember that he is citizen
of a great nation, and he should be
willing to give part of his time and
lend all his influence in favor of good
government He should have an in
telligent appreciation of public ques-
tions, and should take part in public
affairs. He will be needed in the
coming struggle between combina-
tion and Capitalization on one side
and the masses on the other.
