The agitation in behalf or the ag-
ricultural high schools throughout
Mississippi gathers strength as the
year grows older, and it is safe to
assume that number OF counties
will call for the appropriation when
the legislature again convenes. 1t
has been suggested that possibly
these schools would prove to be or
binary high schools without the ag-
ricultural features contemplated and
the experience of instances in other
states have been cited in support of
the contention While this is posi-
BILE it is not at all necessary. The
management of the school is vested
in a board of trustees whose specific
duty it is to see that the institution
is properly conducted. If this board
allows the scohoi to degenerate into
an ordinary high school, doing the
work that provisions have already
been made for, it is the fault of the
board There is a provision in the
law whereby the state board of ed
ucalion has the authority when a
school is not subscribing the purpose
for which it was created, to with
draw all state aid. There are two
bodies empowered to see that these
institutions are properly conducted
and the suggestion that they posi-
bly, might be diverted to other uses
should in no way prevent their being
located and built.
Noxubee county is the first to an
nounce that the school has been To-
Gated and ali preliminaries arranged
FOR Mushulaville was successful
in securing the school for that coun-
ty and Representative Cavett is elat-
ed over the fact that his county was
the first to definitely announce that
a school was to be built. A number
Of other counties have almost reach
ed the point where a definite state
ment can be made and more than
half the counties of the state have
the matter under consideration. 1t
is a most important movement and
deserves the hearty support of those
who would see the agricultural re-
sources of Mississippi developed. 1t
offers special training for the agri-
cultural people OF our state that has
not been provided N the past as the
Importance attached deserved. 1t OF
fers to the boys Of each county an
education fitting them for the bat
tie Of life as a farmer, thereby plac-
ing him on an equal footing with the
lawyer, the doctor, the preacher or
those engaged in any pursuit. Build
the agricultural high schools and
then see that they are properly con-
Quoted.

with additional vigor by those in

Lockwood of Crystal Springs has
been engaged to make campaign
of the state in behalf of the fund.
Patriotic citizens are urged to aid
in this movement. The newspapers
are making campaign also and &C
must not be said that our state failed
to do her fighting machine what all
other states and cities have done,
provide suitable silver service.
Push this good work along.

The expense necessary to make a
canvas for state, and some of the dis
trict offices, has assumed proper
tons not in keeping with the emolu-
ments of the places sought. A can
vas for governor costs from $4,000
to $4,000 according to estimates
and the whole pay for the four years
is only $4,000. The cost of can
vas fer minor state office is esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000
which is more than the salary for
one whole year. The time lost is
not taken into consideration in these
estimates. 1t is apparent that some
thing should be done to reduce this
expense and the people have it in
their power to do it without resolu-
ton, regulation or anything of that
character. Discourage the expensive
campaign. The man who offers for
office is generally pretty we'll known
and there is no necessity of making
strenuous house to house campaign
of the state or district. Georgia has
recently demonstrated that a man
could be elected governor without
the expense of speaking several
times in each county and shaking
hands with each individual voter.
One candidate covered the state thor
oughly while tE9 other attended to
his business and placed his claims
before the people III an economical
bur satisfactory manner The latter
was elected by handsome majority.
This is a subject worthy of careful
consideration.

Mississippi has long borne the ca-
vla6le distinction of being state
where the rights and privileges OF
the most humble citizens was re-
spected and protected. Where every
man stood upon equal footing with
his fellow and the right to vote was
guaranteed to all who could read
the constitution or understand II
when read to him. Where wealth or
social standing were not qualifica-
tions for place or power. These facts
have made ours one of the most de-
slrable states in the Union for resi-
dence and thousands of splendid PEG
pie from other states have been at
tracted thereby. 1t Is still a con-
dition and must remain so at all haz-
yards. Mississippi must be a state
OF rural homes and a citizenship that
stands for the best in everything
good and wholesome.
The newspapers of Mississippi,
and their editors can always be
found on the right side of great NOR
al questions, are saying considerable
these days about the use of profan-
ity and the ugliness and uselessness
OF the habit. There is wide diver
agnce of opinion as to whether the
world is growing better or worse.
but there can be little argument as
to prevalence of profane words by
old and young. 1t is a habit that
could be easily corrected, and should
be by all means. Nothing can be
more offensive to the ear of a good
man or refined woman than coarse
or profane language. The Mississippi
pi newspapers are engaged in a cru
SADIE that deserves the earnest sup
port of all good people.
1t has been the writer's pleasure to
visit recently three counties where
the subject of an agricultural high
school was being agitated. They
were Lamar, Lincoln and Simpson.
There is great deal of interest man
lfested in all of these, the people be-
ing alive as to the advantage to be
derived from the location of such a
school. Agricultural interest all
over the state is at fever heat, and
it is safe to predict that Mississippi
will within the next few years show
an improvement along this line not
equaled by any other southern state.
This prospect is bright one indeed,
and let us hope that the enthusiasm
will grow a steadily until we take
the place we deserve, well up toward
the head of the procession.

Our excellent system of electing
officials from the highest to the most
obscure, by direct cote of the people,
has been the subject or much favora-
bic comment by liberty-loving peo-
pie in all sections, as well as the
fact that any man with aspirations
stood upon an equal footing with his
opponents in the effort to gain Office.
There has been a slight tendency in
late primaries to expend abnormal
sums of money in making a canvas
of the state for state offices that Is
viewed with apprehension by many
who fear that the practice will reach
such proportions that a man not in
possession of considerable worldly
goods will be denied the privilege of
being a candidate for office. Look
ing to a co-Section of this, dele
gate to the recent state convention
offered a resolution which has been
the subject of much comment. While
the resolution was not reported by
the committee TO which it was re-
ferred, - was read on the floor and
the reforms proposed gotten in that
way before the body.
The meeting of presidents of the
county unions at Jackson was both
pleasant and profitable. Many sub
jects of vital Importance to the far
mers were discussed and much work
of beneficial nature accomplished.
1t was an educational feature that
should be made permanent. 1t does
good to get the official heads of the
organization together once a year
Tor the benefit of the farmers, to
exchange experience and learn what
the other fellow knows.

her lands can produce, it would
prove one of the best money crops
to grow. The only trouble contem

for them until time to market, say

March. If you have had experience
in banking and caring for them, let
it be known. Your experience will

BROWN ELECTED IN GEORGIA
Democrat Has $4,000 Majority Over
Carter, Hearst Candidate.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct Joseph NJ
nor OF Georgia over Yancy Carter
(HearsU by a majority estimated at
from 10000 TO $4,000 votes. The vote
was light, probably not over so per
cent, of those registered going TO the
polls. From the incomplete returns
II seems unlikely that the total vote
will exceed 10000. Brown was the
only candidate on the Democratic tick
ct who had opposition.
Returns so far indicate the adoption
Of the Acknowledgement amendment by
much smaller vote than was cast
for Brown. This resulted from the
negroes as a rule voting for Brown,
but opposing Acknowledgement Many
whites also opposed Acknowledgement
The returns are incomplete and the
official count may show the defeat OF
amendment, but Il is not likely.
While Carter, running as Hearst's
candidate, got a good vote. the vote
does not indicate Hearsts strength
Carter's vote came chiefly from Dem
ocrats who bitterly oppose Brown
and resent the latter's alleged sub
seryiency to Tom Watson. the Popu
list leader. Ninety per cent OF the
Carter vote will go to Bryan in Nov
ember.
The feature OF the election was the
lining up OF the negroes for Brown
This was due to the fact that white
Republicans supported Brown In the
primary against Gov. Hoke Smith and
to the belief that Brown opposed dis
franohisement, though the Democratic
platform declared for IT,
Gov. Hoke Smith voted for Brown
and Immediately left for the West tC
