macy DINKINS
SAYS THE ISSUE
IS Still CLIMBING

Macy Dinkins, business manager
of Ex-Governor Vardaman's weekly
newspaper, The Issue, spent Sunday
with his Hattiesburg friends. Mr..
Dinkins was business manager of the
Hattiesburg News until a few months
ago, when he went to Jackson to as
sumo the duties of his present posi-
ton, and is well and favorably known
to large number of Hattiesburgans.
Mr.. Dinl1ins says that The Issue
now has a circulation of $4,000 copies
week and that it's circulation is ra-
pidly increasing. He believes that the
$4,000 mark will be reached by the
first of January.
There is no question but that The
Issue is the most successful publica-
ton ever launched in Mississippi, it's
present circulation being nearly
double that of any other paper in the
state.

Sensational Newspaper
Correspondents.

The Sumrall Signal, edited by that
veteran newspaper man, Colonel H. S.
Evans. administers the following de-
served rebuke to the Hattiesburg cor
respondent of the New Orleans Times
Democrat:
Some person evidently filled the
Hattiesburg correspondent of the
Times-Democrat full of putrid hot air
and he sent a special to that paper
about the Praytor-Clayton affair that
was not particular as to facts Such
affairs are disgraceful to any commu.
nifty in which they may happen.
1T is true that Praytor was ar.
rested and placed under a $500 bond
for his appearance at circuit court,
but as to our people being wrought
up over the affair." or that action
against Praytor by the citizens of
Sumrall was not even talked of, and
could have only originated in mind
hungry for sensation. Praytor was
not even placed in Sumrall city Jail,
and there was no effort to convey
him to prison at Purvis. He promptly
made the $500 bond and was released
from the custody. The affidavit filed
against him has been withdrawn.
"Sumrall like all other towns, has
her troubles, but correspondents
should consne themselves to facts
when attempting to enlighten the
world regarding such affairs of their
neighbors, and not do the citizens of
town a wrong that they may work
up sensation that will bring them
a little pocket money. Deal always
with facts about such cases"

If the unexpected should happen
and Mr.. Bryan should lose New York
he would still be elected by 80 ma.
jority in the electoral college He
could lose New York. New Jersey Del
aware and Connecticut and still have
eight votes to spare thus winning the
presidency without a single Eastern
state. He could lose Idaho and Mon
tana or South Dakota and either one
of them, and still win by a scratch.
But neither of the states mentioned
are conceded to the Republicans by
the Democratic committee, and Meth
er Ohio, New York or New Jersey are
conceded to the Democrats by the Re
publicans.
In fact Chairman Hitchcock is still
claiming a Taft victory, despite the
activity of the Presidents cabinet
and the evident fear that pervades
the Republican camp.
Claims and counter-claims will come
thick and fast during the week, but
the Democracy seems to have the best
of the fight thus far. and a Demo-
cratic landslide will not be surpris-
ing.

Mack is Confident.

National Chairman Norman E.
Mack, of the Democratic Campaign
Committee predicts that Bryan will
be elected on November in a Demo
cratic landslide, such as the country
has not experienced since the first
election of Grover Cleveland.
In the dispatches of yesterday, Mr..
Mack is quoted as saying:
"The rumbling thunder of the Bayan
landslide in the west is already heard
in the Eastern States, and today I can
confidently predict the election of Mr..
Bryan. That landslide in the west
will extend to the shores of the At
lantic. 1t means the Democratic ma
tiOnal ticket will carry every doubtful
state in this section, and in rock-ribbed
Republican districts, the majority OF
that party in recent years will be re-
duced to a minimum. Basing my fore
cast on the most conservative lines, In
view of the optimistic reports l have
received from all sections of the coun-
try, figure that Mr.. Bryan will have
at least 3O1 electoral votes, or fifty

small farms highly perfected.

There are more farmers than there
are men engaged in mechanical and
manufacturing pursuits, or than the
total employed by all our railroads and
in buying and selling the products of
our factories.
Yet no class is neglected by leg
islators as they neglect the farmer.
The great American farm this year
will produce a total crop worth S.
100000 00O-eight and one-half billion
of dollars. The portion of this ex-
ported will bring into America more
money than all the products of mills
and mines put together. But what
has Republican congress put for
ward to benefit the farmer, from
whom it seeks support?
Everything the farmer buys is taxed
~ NV DOhCllI VI ldl Ill DdIOHS, WHO
have piled up billions through unjust
taxation in their favor. Everything
of American manufacture he buys is
sold cheaper in England, in Russia,
in Mexico than it is to the farmer in
America.
If the tariff were 60 per cent ct
averages AZ per cent. now it would
not protect the farmer because no
foreign farmer can compete with our
home grown product.
Does the farmer want the tariff re-
vised? Does he want it increased or
reduced? Would he like to pay less
for his boots, his farm implements. his
coal oil? Does he think Mr.. Taft
as president would help him at the
expense of tariff barons?
Neither the Republican platform nor
the candidate has given the least
promise of anything to benefit the far
mer, He is forgotten.

mics could have pictured him. 'Asser-
lions like this, in a state where the
success or failure of the Democratic
cause hangs in the balance, and where
thousands of men are swayed by the
glamour of success, such an express
sion from the leader of the Democratic
minority is objectionable. The News
hopes that Mr.. Williams has been mis-

The Roue King of England.

"The king has had for years a
great love of a spicy story, and scores
of his friends have in the first in
stance gained admittance to his ia
vor because of their capacity in the art
of raconteur. Instances of this are
furnished in Consuelo, duchess of
Manchester, Mrs. George Keppel and
the marquis de Several. Every smart
society woman and most men have al
buns in which they carefully write
down each new story they hear. There
is a certain ultra gay section which
collects stories of the smoking room
order.
Isn't this a charming picture? The
paunchy, equity, gray-whiskered old
king surrounded by a crowd of dis
sipated society women each trying to
Guido the others in the roll of obscen-
ity. The kingly appreciation bestowed
on whichever panders most successful
ly to the low taste of the First Gentle
man of Europe. Yet the description
is taken from a recent cable dispatch
printed in Chicago. and is doubtless
quite correct
This is the noble ambition to attain
which respectable American girls pur-
chase English titles and to support
which American millions are diverted
from the land where they were accum
ulated to benefit foreigners.
The king of England and his court
roar with laughter at indecent stories
and spend hours and days in the
search for some new Topographic SEN
sation, while the army of unemployed
thunders at the doors of the house of
commons and demands work or bread.
Once there was a king named Louis
who lived up to the same ideal. but the
people of France taught him a lesson.
