Congressional Candidates

Congressman A. M. Byrd and
Hon. j. H Currie, candidates for
Congress in this district, deliver
ed three speeches in our county
last week-at Noxapater on
Thursday, Betheden on Friday
and at Louisville on Saturday.
At each place good audiences
met them. At Louisville the
court house was full of people
from different sections of the
county. Mr.. Currie spoke first,
and as is characteristic with him.
made a very pretty spe ech, and
some good points, but taken al
together, his speech was not
what we fully expected on ma.
tional question, such as congess-
men are brought face to face
with. He was sufficiently ap-
plauded to show that he had
many friends in the audience.
Mr.. Byrd's speech, as usual,
was strong, and full of informa-
tion, showing that he has not
been idle during his stay in
W ashington. He reviewed his
past record in congress, and
showed that he has introduced
some of the best bills that have
gone before congress in behalf of
the farmers espically. The bill
he was instrumental in getting
through congress looking to the
enlargement of the cotton market
is one of the best bills on record
so far as the farmers of the
South are interested. and one
which will undoubtly bear fruit.
While personally, there is no
difference in the two men so far
as the Journal is concerned; we
think great deal of both men,
but from congressional stand
point, the paper feels that it is
it's duty to say that the people of
this district would make a mis-
take to not send Mr.. Byrd back
to congress at this time.-Wins-

Farmers Union Speaking

The Farmers Union held
an interesting public meet
ing at the reunion grounds
two miles east of town.
This was one of a seri Sc OF
similar meeting being held
throughout the State for
the advancement Of the
Union cause and to bring
the members to a better
understanding of existing
conditions and to present
plans for bettering these
conditions. The plan is to
have on hand several speak
ers each of whom discusses
q particular phase IN the
campaign, but at the meet
ing Saturday only one
speaker was present, Presi.
dent Hightower OF the State
Union.
Mr.. Hightower arrived on

81
O'Clock and Immediately the
meeting was called to oder
by President w. D. Smith,
of the County Union, who
introduced the speaker.
The subject of the speech
was the "Business Part of
the Union" or the buying
and Selling Propositions. {"
Relative to buying, the
speaker had little to say,
intimating that this is an
easy matter under present
conditions when the buyer is
IN a proper shape to buy.
With the selling end he spent
his time. He first wanted to
know about q market for
hay, then grain, then meat,
then mules, and being in-
formed Gas he already knew J
that Neshoba buys these
products rather than sells
them, he made some timely
remarks relative to living
at home and making the
farms selfsustaining. show
ing from history that no
peop'e had ever become rich
or great with a One-crOp
system, but on the contrary,
all such had fallen. He next
took up the one product
(cotton) which our people
sell. This part of the sub
ject was discussed fully and
ably, showing present meth
Ods of marketing and out
lining other more practic-
able methods. He showed
that tne farmer and local
buyer are now in a boat to-
gether, and both are drifting
before the tide of market
manipulation. He gave his
hearers the plans to be
worked out in the warehouse
system and showed how
with this system cotton
could and would be sold
very much to the advantage
of the seller as compared
with the present selling
methods. The last topic
discussed was boarding OF
money. In this he showed
THAI the individual who
hides away cash is no better
than the banker that would
lock up money to bring on
a panic. He advised the
people not to spend their
money unless they must,
but entreated them to keep
it where it would perform it's
legitimate functions. In all,
his address was logical aud
and contained as much
truth and good advice as we
have ever heard in a ~
hour speech.

noel EXPOSED,
In an Attempt to MiSrepresent Var.
damal IS Administration,

view given TO the press a daV OF
two ago, in which the governor is
reported to have said: THAT he
Noel, would reply to the strictu
res of the New Orleans board OF
health as to the 1906 sale of the
cattle infected with tuberculosis
which was made during the
administration of Gov. Vardamn
and reported to and accepted by
the predecessors of the present
board of trustees without disap.
proval IN June 1906" ex-Gover.
nor Vardaman said:
i knew absolutely nothing of
the sale of the cattle infected
with tuberculosis, nor do | belle.
We any member of the board OF
trustees knew anything abont 1t
until after the case was made by
President Hardy and reported to
the board. There was nothing
left for the board to do except
permit Mr.. Hardy to pay the
money which he had rece we'd for
the cattle into the college fund.
and to order him, Hardy, not to
sell any more diseased cattle.
We did not think it necessary to
reprimand him for it, since the
deed had been committed and
could not be corrected.
''The statement by Gov. Noel
that the board accepted the act
without diapproval, is contradict
ed by the fact that the board
ordered him, Hardy, not to sell
any more diseased cattle, the
purpose of Noel's statement, that
it was accepted without disap-
proval, was of course, to put,
whatever odium there might he
in the act upen the administra-
tion of Gov. Vardaman.
UNTRUE AND UNJUST.
"And he did it knowing that
his statement was untrue and
unjust. But, to be uisingenuous
indirect, to dissimulate, is as
natural with Noel as it is for
compost pile to emit its disagree
able ordors, or a jimpson weed to
give out its peculiar fragance; it
is the gush of his genius-the
tainted atmosphere in which his
soul luxuriates. The unfortun
ate mixup in the A. and M. Col
lege mess, and his utter incom-
potency in other things, causes
him to grasp with the eagerness
and avidity of rcwniug man
at a straw any manufactured
precednt, to justify, palliate or
excuse his own absurd acts.
He has not the candor, the cour-
age or manhood to stand by his
own convictions, or rise and fall
according to their intrinsic
merit.
